d. He suddenly asked, "You can't drive""...Yes." I replied with a forced smile."You expect the Heavenly Emperor to drive Such mundane things as cars are beneath an exalted being like him, aren't they"...Yin Su Bai moved, his voice deep and solemn as he asked, "Where are the ghosts of the old man from the Yan family and the old woman"
It turns out he was waiting for Jiang Qiyun! He wanted to ask about the Yin soul.
"Matters of the underworld are none of your concern." Jiang Qiyun was extremely dismissive.
Two bigwigs were clashing, and I was just a pawn in the middle. Luckily, Chen's self-heating hot pot started to smell delicious, so I quickly made my escape.
Before entering, I heard Yin Suk-bai say, “ ... They wouldn't attract evil spirits for no reason.”
I also feel that I was too rash... The Yan family has no dealings with us, but they had dealings with my parents many years ago.
Both parties were completely oblivious, while the gears of fate began to turn with perfect precision at that very moment.
Until today, the consequences have become apparent.
Chen Ru's small table was set with two self-heating hot pots. She handed me disposable chopsticks, and I absentmindedly ate, my ears perked up, eavesdropping on the conversation outside.
"The cycle of yin and yang, the souls of the underworld are matters of the netherworld. As a demon lord, you're interfering too much," Jiang Qiyun said coldly.
"...The Northern Emperor." Yin Su Bai's tone was somewhat aloof—
"If the True Spirit Talisman of Spiritual Suppression perishes, the Six Realms will collapse..."
What, what
The Spirit Summoning True Spirit Talisman...sure enough, it was for this.
Yin Su Bai didn't finish his sentence, but Jiang Qi Yun clearly understood his meaning.
It's no wonder that Jiang Qiyun and he didn't come to blows. Perhaps the two individuals not only had non-conflicting actions, but also possibly some overlap
As the Lord of the Underworld, Jiang Qiyun is responsible for maintaining the balance between yin and yang.
Since Yin Su Bai broke through the barrier, Jiang Qi Yun should have received orders from the high-ranking divine beings above.
Was he looking for this talisman And is the key to it on this zombie
》》》
" ...Mu Jie... is the ginger shreds tasty" Chen Ru stared at me blankly.
"What kind of zombie!" I was startled. "How can zombies be eaten! What terrible things are you thinking about!"
Chen was stunned, pointing at my chopsticks: "You've been chewing on ginger shreds for half an hour! I didn't even have the courage to ask you. There are luncheon meat, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu skin here... why do you keep chewing on ginger shreds"
Ach, ach, ach! I quickly spat it out. No wonder my tongue felt a bit spicy.
"Chen Ruo, after thinking about it, the reconstructed picture is done. You don't need to worry about this for now, just take a good rest and go back to school." I said seriously.
"Well... if there's anything I can do to help, just call me again." She nodded obediently.
"Besides... you shouldn't live here. It's a cemetery after all. Even if there aren't any ghosts, it's not suitable for a girl to live here, the air is too heavy." I advised her.
Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm fine."
"Even if you don't live at home, you can still stay in the dormitory, right" I said eagerly.
Chen shook her head. “The dormitory at school costs eight hundred yuan a month, I quit it long ago. It's pretty good here, I have a roof over my head and don't have to pay rent.”
Alas... how is she doing It's a pity that my place is already quite full, and there are no rooms left. She's grown up now, after all, and needs her own space.
Besides, "Sister Mu, no one at school wants to room with me." She smiled and said, "Because of my major, everyone at school thinks I'll attract some things... you know what I mean"
I understand. I stole a glance at the faint outline of the Seventh Lord behind her.
"Well then, I'll pay for you to find a place to live. You don't have to spend any money, just treat it like your own home, you can live there for the rest of your life." I said seriously.
It's no big deal to buy her a small apartment, I can still afford a few hundred thousand.
"No, no, no. It's not good to rely on the kindness of others for nothing. I feel more secure living off my own two hands." She grinned at me.
"Well... but this time thanks to your kindness, there might be other times when I'll need your help..."
"It is an obligation one cannot shirk!"
"Then take this red envelope first." I quickly sent the money out.
When Chen Ruo heard her phone vibrate, she lowered her head to look. I didn't dare to turn it too much, afraid she wouldn't accept it, so I only transferred ten thousand yuan.
Ten thousand yuan is too little for our circle, it's embarrassing to even take it out.
But Chen Ru widened her eyes and said, "Sister Mu, why are you giving me so much money It's enough for me to eat for two years..."
Two, two years!
"You still need to take care of your health and eat well! If there are any commissions in the industry that you can do in the future, I will prioritize introducing them to you."
"Mu Jie, you're so kind, thank you! You're so talented and such a good person, no wonder you're so famous." Chen Ruo put down her chopsticks and held my wrist, shaking it gently.
I twitched the corner of my mouth, stole a glance at the white ghost behind her, and weakly said: "Not dare, not dare..."
Chen Ru sighed and muttered softly, "I wonder how Teacher is doing... It's all because of his unfilial son..."
What do you mean
Chen Ru shrank her neck and said with a pout, “The teacher made a lot of money, but his son is no good... I heard he owes a pile of debts.”
I was just about to continue listening to the gossip when Jiang Qiyun called out to me: “Mu Xiaoqiao.”
"Alright." I peeked outside and saw only Jiang Qiyun. "Where's the Demon Lord" I asked, puzzled.
"He's gone...wipe your mouth, come with me." Jiang Qiyun looked at me like this, seeming a little annoyed but also amused.
"Where to Home" I asked curiously.
"A little unexpected fortune, he sent back a message." He said briefly, pulling me into the temple gate.
Yesterday, Dabao went with the son of the Yan family. The son of the Yan family acted strangely and was mentally abnormal. He didn't even care when his elderly mother jumped from a building.
Jiang Qiyun brought me to a place that seemed oddly familiar.
A densely packed area of dilapidated housing, with narrow alleys and dimly lit gatherings of men playing cards and drinking. In the shadows, women stand waiting for work.
The air was heavy and damp, with the smell of smoke and alcohol.
The eaves were low and damp, and the gutters in the narrow alley had never been cleaned. There was a strange, indescribable smell.
"This place... seems kind of familiar, doesn't it" I mused.
"I've been here before." Jiang Qiyun glanced westward. "Chen Ruo's house is over there, an entire district."
Da Bao's bread truck was parked at a fresh market at the mouth of a narrow alley, and someone was squatting on the street corner smoking.
This man in pajamas and slippers looked quite at home here. Few people paid him any attention as he walked by, not even the hostesses trying to attract customers.
---He looked like he was utterly destitute from head to toe.---
When he saw us walking over, Dabao spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth and rubbed his hands together as he walked towards me.
"Little Lady, I've done some digging. This messy and run-down place is actually teeming with hidden talent... There's a local snake here who's set up an underground casino. My goodness, the turnover is unbelievable! They even offer everything from baiting to swallowing gold, shelling corn, and playing reverse cornstalk – a one-stop shop!" Dabao smacked his lips.
I'm totally lost, what does all this jargon mean After half a year I finally give you something to do, are you this nervous Are you guilty""No, no, Master. You rarely give orders, so I'm very nervous and afraid to disappoint you."I watched him smi...
