Wang Xiaohuan thought "Little Raccoon" was Wang the Butcher.

Wang the Butcher directly turned into a raging bear—this was flirting with his sister-in-law! How could he stand for that?

But the fat cat wasn't a spirit beast and couldn't talk! It thought it had done a great deed and was rolling around Wang the Butcher's feet, begging for dried fish.

Wang the Butcher and Wang Xiaohuan, without another word, grabbed their rolling pins and stormed off to Jiang Junci's place!

Ye Yang and I risked our lives to rescue that unlucky kid.

I later asked Jiang Junci, "What were you thinking? A badger is a badger. Why did you call it a raccoon? Are they even the same species?"

Jiang Junci stammered for a long time before finally saying, "Raccoons are prettier. Badgers are kind of ugly."

I was speechless.

He didn't manage to bring a raccoon home, and he almost got his house ransacked by a raging bear.

I quickly packed my things, preparing to take everyone to Yuehai Restaurant to see Jing Henyun.

But when I saw Wang Xiaohuan's outfit, I knew: Alright, she's still angry and even changed her clothes.

Wang Xiaohuan was wearing a black, tight-fitting leather suit, topped with a black trench coat, sunglasses, and a hat. From a distance, she looked intimidating.

I don't know if others saw her as heroic and valiant. But to me, she looked like a female assassin.

I felt like she was going to pull a gun out of her trench coat and shoot Jiang Junci any second now.

Wang Xiaohuan was still angry about the red dragon fish incident, so she simply changed all her clothes to black.

With her dressed like that, our group of four looked like two whites and two blacks.

It was fine if we stood separately, but if we stood together, we looked like a vertical zebra crossing.

I didn't have time to complain, so I shoved Wang Xiaohuan into the car and headed to Yuehai Restaurant.

When we saw Jing Henyun again, I felt like something was different about her.

The first time I met Jing Henyun, she was every bit the martial world bigwig, her every word and action exuding power and presence.

After getting to know her better, I realized there was always a dimness in her eyes.

But this time, when I saw her, I felt there was a change in her eyes again.

It was hard to describe, but her eyes seemed to carry a hint of hope.

After Jing Henyun asked us to sit down, she said, "Hall Master Li, my business is difficult to take on. The last time, I hinted at it to Hall Master Feng, but she wasn't willing to get involved."

"If you just feel like you need to repay me for a favor, then forget it."

"The favor you owe me isn't worth risking the lives of the Four Great Experts of Liangjie Hall."

"Let's just consider it a friendly connection!"

I smiled and said, "Sister Jing, you're joking. A Shaman's life isn't worth much. Sister Jing, you've helped us twice in our hour of need. To Liangjie Hall, it's no longer a matter of owing a favor."

Jing Henyun laughed, "How about this? I have nothing of value in my life except this restaurant. No matter how this mission ends, this restaurant will belong to Liangjie Hall."

I looked at Jing Henyun and said, "As far as I know, Yuehai Restaurant is all of Sister Jing's hard work. In the past few years, many people have coveted Yuehai Restaurant, but Sister Jing has never given an inch. This time, Sister Jing is willing to use Yuehai Restaurant as payment, it seems this deal is very important to you?"

Jing Henyun stood up and said, "This restaurant is everything to me, but it's also my burden. I run Yuehai Restaurant just to wait for someone to return, and that person is my fiancé, Bei Yan Jing Yun."

My eyes suddenly narrowed: "You mean, the outstanding Shaman Bei Yan Yun Yi's father, Bei Yan Jing Yun? Bei Yan Yun Yi wouldn't be..."

After I asked the question, I realized I had spoken out of turn.

Bei Yan Yun Yi was about my age, and Jing Henyun was only ten years older than me. She shouldn't be Bei Yan Yun Yi's biological mother.

Jing Henyun said, "I wish I were Bei Yan Yun Yi's mother."

"Actually, you guessed right, I am what others call the 'other woman.'"

"When I was very young, because of some things that happened in my family, I went to places I shouldn't have."

"I met Bei Yan Jing Yun there. At that time, he already had a family and two lovely children, a daughter, Bei Yan Yun Yi, and a son, Bei Yan Yun Gui."

"At that time, I felt he was the person who came to save me, and I fell hopelessly in love with him."

"Even though I knew it was a forbidden game, I still stepped into the opening."

"I won't say much about what we went through. I don't think you'd like to hear it. All I can tell you is that Jing Yun told me he would definitely marry me, and he even got engaged to me. The engagement gift was this Yuehai Restaurant."

"He said he was going to do something, and when he finished, he would come back and marry me."

"After he left that day, he never came back. Later, I got the news that he had married someone else."

"At that time, I really felt like my world had collapsed."

"I almost set fire to Yuehai Restaurant and turned it and myself into ashes."

"In the end, I got through that difficult time with the help of friends and barely managed to keep Yuehai Restaurant afloat."

"Just when I thought I had come out of the shadows, Bei Yan Jing Yun came."
