"I won't argue with you," said the narcissistic girl. Just as she was about to step past Mu Anxiao, Mu Anxiao moved to block her again.
After several rounds of this, the narcissistic girl stopped and said angrily, "Shorty, I advise you not to provoke me."
"What if I provoke you? Let me tell you, you're not the only one with a celestial destiny in this world. Don't think too highly of yourself, ugly."
"So what if I call you shorty? Do you have to target me like this?" the narcissistic girl said, looking wronged.
"So what if I don't let you be with my junior brother?" Mu Anxiao frowned. "Do you have to pester me like this?"
At that moment, the narcissistic girl was speechless with Mu Anxiao.
"Enough," Shen Yan said.
Mu Anxiao half-turned to look at Shen Yan and asked, "Who are you talking to?"
"You," Shen Yan pointed at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao shook his head. "Not enough. I won't let this girl succeed."
"I'm really impressed by you." Shen Yan pointed at Mu Anxiao, then stepped forward, ignoring her and looking at the narcissistic girl. "Why are you following me?"
"I'm a girl with celestial destiny. I..."
"I only went to your house to give you a talisman for protection. What are you following me out for?" Shen Yan's words were sharp.
The narcissistic girl's eyes gradually turned red. "I told you so much, and you didn't listen to a word."
"All I know is that you've been chattering in my ear the whole way. What did you say?"
"I asked your age and many other questions, and you didn't answer me. You..."
"Alright, go back."
"You want me to go back by myself?" The narcissistic girl calmed down, unlike her interaction with Mu Anxiao.
Shen Yan stared at the narcissistic girl's reddened eyes without speaking. She took a talisman from her sleeve and handed it to her. "Take this. You'll be safe."
The narcissistic girl looked at the talisman in Shen Yan's hand with despair and said, "If you were going to do this, you should have told me earlier and not let me follow you. Why are you treating me like this?" As she spoke, she snatched the talisman and tore it up in front of Shen Yan.
Shen Yan watched her actions indifferently and said nothing.
The narcissistic girl directly threw the torn talisman in Shen Yan's face and said, "Don't let me see you..." She glanced at Mu Anxiao beside her. "...you people."
Mu Anxiao deliberately turned his face away.
Shen Yan remained silent.
The narcissistic girl, her pride wounded, turned and left gracefully with tears in her eyes.
Mu Anxiao slowly turned his gaze back to the disappearing figure of the narcissistic girl. He then looked down at the tarnished talisman on the ground and said, "Didn't you say you didn't have any talismans?"
"I do," Shen Yan glanced at Mu Anxiao. "I just didn't want to give it to you."
"Stingy," Mu Anxiao rolled his eyes at Shen Yan.
In the dry well, the vine spirit, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked up at the circular opening above, a smirk playing on his lips. "It seems a girl with celestial destiny has emerged." Saying this, he forcefully slapped the ground and stood up. After turning halfway, he transformed into a dark green beam of light and left the dry well.
Shen Yan sensed the vine spirit's movements and quickly said, "Go quickly."
"Huh?" Mu Anxiao didn't understand Shen Yan's meaning.
"Ye Yin, go protect that girl quickly," Shen Yan said again without looking back.
"Yes," Ye Yin nodded and quickly ran in the direction the narcissistic girl had just gone.
Mu Anxiao stood in place, looking from side to side and asking, "Did the vine spirit come out?"
"Yes, but he won't bother you anymore."
