I lay on the table with a helpless look on my face. Master Ye looked at me and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said," Xiao Bai, I really didn't know you had this side to you."”
I slammed the table and asked," What do you mean by that?”
Master Ye panicked." Did I say something wrong?"”He poured a cup of water and handed it to me." Don't worry. Why don't you think about what kind of person Ji Qianfan is? How could anything happen to him?" Don't worry."
I looked into her eyes, my eyelashes fluttering. There was some doubt in my eyes." You really didn't lie to me?”
Master Ye nodded with certainty. Although I was relieved, I was still a little nervous. This wasn't Ji Qianfan's style at all. He wasn't like this in the past.
I suddenly had a bad thought in my heart. This Ji Qianfan couldn't have hooked up with those flirtatious sluts outside, right?
"Xiao Bai, why don't I help you look for him?”
I angrily placed the cup in my hand on the table and said angrily," There's no need. Let him fend for himself."”
I went out, but Master Ye was muttering on the spot," What's going on? He was fine just now. Why is it like he ate explosives?"”
I sat on an armchair in the courtyard and placed the bell in my hand under the sun, carefully examining it.
A gust of wind blew the bell and made it ring. I was nervous and didn't know if Ji Qianfan would come.
I didn't know how much time had passed, but Ji Qianfan still didn't appear. I had completely lost interest. I threw the bell in my hand on the ground and said," What is it?"”
Just as she was about to return to her room, Ji Qianfan's voice sounded from behind her." What's wrong with Madam? What did I do wrong to make Madam so angry?"”
I turned around and looked at the bell in Ji Qianfan's hand, not knowing what to say.
。
He came in front of me and placed the bell in my palm." Xiao Bai, I have my own matters to attend to. I can't accompany you often. You have to be more understanding."”
I took the bell and held it in my hand, but my mouth was still unwilling to let it go." Understanding? Who are you to me? Why should I understand you…"
Ji Qianfan had no choice but to listen to me. He locked me tightly in his arms and looked into my eyes. I had already started to imagine the next scene. Who knew that Master Ye would come out.
"Ahem. Well, you guys should pay more attention. I'm still here.”
I shyly pushed Ji Qianfan away and ran into the house.
Ji Qianfan looked at Master Ye, and Master Ye said," Lord Nether King has been very busy recently."”
Ji Qianfan looked at Master Ye and said," You know everything?”
"If I don't even know about such a big thing, how can I survive here?”
However, Ji Qianfan's expression became very serious." Recently, more and more people have died mysteriously in the netherworld. It seems that there must be something fishy about this." I was still thinking of asking you to investigate."
Master Ye was surprised." Lord Nether King, did I hear wrongly? I don't dare to fight against the person behind this."”
Ji Qianfan looked at Master Ye and took out a brocade bag from his bag and handed it to him." Is that okay?"”
Master Ye looked at the brocade bag and smiled like a flower." Alright, I will do as you say."”
At night, there was a commotion in the courtyard again. These few days, it was not peaceful. I asked Master Ye a few times, but Master Ye refused many times and did not tell me anything.
Ji Qianfan didn't come. I didn't know what was going on. I just felt depressed and couldn't sleep. I simply put on my clothes and went out for a walk.
This part of the city had always been bustling day and night. There were countless stalls selling snacks and toys in the streets and alleys.
There were people and ghosts in this crowd.
They walked in the crowd, blocked the way of others, or stood in front of the food stall. It was obvious that he was a foodie when he was alive.
I'm not an authentic foodie. The only time I eat a lot is when I'm in a bad mood.
In this place, the meat skewers roasted by a man called Fourth Brother were the most attractive.
From afar, I could see that his business was in full swing. There was an endless stream of people coming to buy, and there was a long queue.
The tables and chairs behind the small barbecue grill were always full.
I waited here for a long time. When it was my turn, they were all sold out.
Fourth Brother packed up his things and said to me," Miss, there's nothing else. If you want to eat, come back tomorrow."”
I sized up this person called Fourth Brother. He was short, only 1.5 or 1.6 meters tall. In front of me, he looked like a dwarf.
He was skinny and looked a little out of place. His knuckles were clearly visible under the light. It was a little creepy.
He was a little bald, and his eyes were deeply sunken into his eye sockets. His nose was big and flat, and his mouth had some buck teeth. He had a smoking problem, so his teeth were yellow.
He was not good-looking at all, and could even be described as ugly. There was a large wound on his right arm, as if he had been burned by something. I don't know.
I looked at his stall and examined it carefully. After confirming that there were no more, I said," Alright.”
Before I could turn around and leave, another question suddenly came to my mind. I turned around and asked him," Boss, what kind of meat are you roasting? It doesn't look like mutton to me."
He smiled at me with a strange look in his eyes, making my hair stand on end.
"I can't tell you that."
I kept feeling that there was something wrong with him, which made me lose my appetite, so I ran away in a hurry.
Master Ye arrived as soon as he found a noodle shop and sat down.
I knew it was him when he threw the cloth bag that had been sewn and patched countless times on the table.
She looked up and saw that he looked exhausted. She asked," Where did you go?”
"You don't know, I'm exhausted."
As I ate, I asked," Your job is tiring, but you must have earned a lot of money.”
"Xiao Bai, I'm doing this for free.”
I looked at Master Ye and joked," Yo, there's actually something that Master Ye doesn't charge for.”I gave him a thumbs up." Not bad, well done. Who is that person? Introduce him to me."”
Master Ye blurted out," Nether King."
I was shocked." Who?"
Master Ye realized that he had said something wrong and immediately covered his mouth." It's nothing. You heard wrong."”
I put down the chopsticks in my hand and looked at Master Ye curiously." You're good, kid. You've even gone to the netherworld." However, I don't think that Nether King is a good person.”
Master Ye naturally thought that I was talking about someone, but he only knew Ji Qianfan, the Nether King, but he didn't know Lu Pan, the one who caught me.
Master Ye nodded and said," I agree.”
"Then why did the Nether King look for you?”
Master Ye drank a mouthful of water and sighed. After a long time, he told me the reason.
"Legend has it that the dragon has nine sons, and one of them is called Taotie. He was the legendary gluttonous beast. It looks like a sheep with a human face, eyes under the armpit, tiger teeth and human claws, and sounds like a baby. This time, I'm looking for him."
I had no appetite now." Why are you looking for him?”
"It's fine if he's greedy, but now even people are eaten by him. The netherworld is only so big. Don't you think this will disrupt the order? Do you think the Nether King is comfortable?”
I laughed, somewhat mocking him." Why didn't the Nether King go himself? Instead, he asked a mortal like you to deal with such a vicious beast.”
Master Ye shook his head, lowered his head, and ate his food. He stammered," He's happy."”
I held the cup in my hand and looked at Master Ye. After a long time, I said to him," Master Ye, do you know how you look when you eat?”
Master Ye looked up and asked me," Like what?”After saying that, he didn't forget to cut me off.
I waved the air in front of me and threw him two words.”Then, he left.
On the way back, I passed by the barbecue stall. There was no one here now. Fourth Brother was packing his things and preparing to go home. I looked at him and felt that something was wrong. However, he couldn't say.
Now that the school has arranged for an internship, they gave us a break in advance, so I can be considered relaxed during this period of time.
However, it was also boring.
The next morning, Jiaying came before I even woke up.
I opened the door and stood in front of her with my hair that looked like a chicken nest." Jiaying.”I saw the person in front of me clearly." Why are you here? Why are you here so early?”
Jiaying completely ignored my complaints and dragged me to wash up before rushing out.
The whole city became crowded during the holidays. I didn't know how long I had to sit on the shaking bus before I reached my destination.
She felt her stomach churning and she almost vomited.
"Are you feeling better?"
I took the mineral water from Jiaying and drank a few mouthfuls. Before I could recover, she snatched it away." Xiao Bai, this is water, not wine. Who wants to drink it with you?"”
"Then you have to give me a suitable reason. Otherwise, I won't forgive you like this.”
Jiaying smiled mysteriously." I found a really good restaurant recently, so I brought you here to try it."”
