"I got it! You told me many times already! Look at how well-behaved I am—do I look like a disobedient person? Don't worry, I'll stay in the country and won't run around wildly!" Ye Wanwan vehemently promised.

Seven Star frowned when he overheard this.

Big Dipper quietly exclaimed, "D*mn! What's going on with Sis Feng? Didn't we decide to leave? Why did she change her mind the second she got a call from a stray cat outside? Isn't this too... unscrupulous?!"

Big Dipper was frightened by Ye Wanwan's fickle att.i.tude.

Seven Star still remembered the love gu in Sis Feng, and they had to go back and think of a cure as soon as possible, so they definitely couldn't stay in China for long.

Now, she wanted to stay in China for a man? Wasn't she risking her life trivially?

On the other end of the call, Si Yehan refrained from commenting on her words but decided that Ye Wanwan wasn't lying after some thought.

After all, he managed to mollify her that other day, so there was no reason for her to return to the Independent State. Si Yehan's worries were eased temporarily, and he said, "Wait for me to come back."

"Yes yes, I know. I'll be good and wait for you at home. Hurry and come back, okay?" Ye Wanwan's voice was especially soft and agreeable as she promised.

Seven Star's expression darkened with every word she spoke, and he wanted to interrupt several times but resisted.

After being lovey-dovey for a while more, Ye Wanwan finally hung up and promptly turned to look at Seven Star. "Did you book the plane tickets yet?"

"What?" Seven Star was startled and swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Ye Wanwan pursed her lips. "I'm talking about the plane tickets back to the Independent State tomorrow!"

Seven Star reflexively nodded. "I booked them."

"Great! We'll depart tomorrow then!" Ye Wanwan replied.

Seven Star asked in a daze, "Didn't you just say... you were staying in China... Sis Feng?"

Ye Wanwan raised her brows and glanced at her phone. "You believe the words people say when they're pacifying someone?"

Seven Star: "..."

Big Dipper: "..."

Sis Feng's lip service was truly too slippery!

If it weren't for her typical hoes over bros character, why would they worry? Who knew she'd resist beauty so staunchly this time?

Big Dipper whispered in Seven Star's ears. "I know! It's not because Sis Feng changed her nature; it's because the Independent State has more beautiful men..."

Seven Star:

Ye Wanwan rolled her eyes at Big Dipper. "What are you muttering about? What are you saying this time?"

Big Dipper hastily waved his hand. "Nothing, nothing. Oh right, Sis Feng, I just wanted to ask... Are... are you really married to that patriarch of the Si family?"

The president's marriage was very significant, after all!

Ye Wanwan cast her eyes down in silence for a moment before turning to look at the distant night. She aloofly replied, "Who knows?"

"Eh... what?" Big Dipper asked.

What does this mean...?

Doesn't Sis Feng know whether she's married or not?

Big Dipper and Seven Star looked at each other with clear exasperation in their eyes.

Ye Wanwan didn't say anything more and entered the car, ordering Big Dipper to drive toward the Age of Immortals.

At the same time, at some location in Imperial City:

The silver-haired man sat in a mini-van with a deep frown on his face, as though he was thinking about something.

"I didn't expect it to be that ring..." the silver-haired man murmured, surprise and worry surfacing on his face.

"Impossible... That ring should've been utterly destroyed after that incident in the Independent State, so why..." Unease grappled his mind.

Before Worriless Nie went missing, he clearly told her that the ring absolutely shouldn't exist and had to be destroyed! And his disciple, Worriless Nie, destroyed the ring in front of him...

So why... why did that ring still exist?! And why was it in Worriless Nie's possession...?
