The wind and snow were flying wildly half a meter away from Bai Ningning.

Seeing that she had nothing in her hands and the Four Seasons Chronicle of the Hell Realm was missing, Qing Huai knew that she had other hidden secrets.

Bai Ningning looked at him with a smile: "Are you planning to escape again, Mr. Ghost King?"

"How could that be?" Qing Huai picked up her scarf and tried to untie it for her slowly.

Bai Ningning subconsciously raised her hand to hold the scarf around her neck, then realized that this action made her look guilty. Trying to hide her guilt, she made up an excuse: "It's cold."

"Really?" Qing Huai looked at her with a smile, his fingers lightly traced her jawline, and then quickly withdrew his hand.

In the snow under the moonlight, a man and a ghost faced each other silently.

"Boss—there's a powerful evil spirit here!" Someone shouted from a distance, breaking the silence in the snow.

He should have only one boss, but this one call attracted the response of hundreds of people.

The one who came was a ghost messenger.

Suddenly, Bai Ningning grabbed Qing Huai's wrist and smiled mischievously, "Mr. Ghost King, you haven't explained yet. Aren't you planning on not running away this time?"

His gaze gradually moved up from Bai Ningning's scarf, finally landing on Bai Ningning's eyes. He smiled and said, "Alright, I also want to see what their expressions will be when they see our beloved Little King of Hell hanging out with evil spirits."

Bai Ningning: "Of course he trusts me and wants to rescue me from the evil spirit."

"Really?" Qinghuai's ghostly aura wrapped around her, giving Bai Ningning the illusion of being hugged.

She was stunned for a moment, and Qinghuai disappeared in the blink of an eye - she just couldn't see him, but he was still there.

The snow was white and there was no place to hide. It was probably hidden in one of the ornaments on her body.

Before she could find out where he was, the ghost squad had already rushed in front of her——

“Where’s the ghost?!”

"This person has a strong ghost aura!"

"But she's a human being, don't mess with her."

Bai Ningning didn't say anything. Without Qinghuai's ghostly aura to "hold an umbrella" for her, the wind and snow with cold air enveloped her again.

She silently put her hands back into her pockets, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Fan Wujiu arrived late, and the ghost squad reported the situation to him in a flurry of chatter.

"When you look from a distance, there's a ghost, but when you get closer, there's only her."

"Could it be that he is possessed by a ghost?"

"Why is she so motionless?"

A little demon officer circled around Bai Ningning twice and asked, "Can you see me?"

Fan Wujiu saw Bai Ningning at a glance, stared at her eyes for a long time, and then asked tentatively: "Little King of Hell?"

"ah--?!"

The trainee ghost officials were all startled and retreated several meters at the same time, keeping a distance from Bai Ningning.

Bai Ningning didn't respond, pretended not to see it, and walked back on her own.

"Did we make a mistake?" The ghost officials looked at each other in confusion, feeling somewhat unsure.

Fan Wujiu followed Bai Ningning and said, "Don't pretend to ignore me, little King of Hell."

Bai Ningning glanced at him and continued walking forward.

A group of new ghost recruits followed behind, winking at each other.

-Why don't you go stop the boss? It seems awkward to just follow a passerby.

-That can't be a passerby, right? She really has a ghostly aura.

Fan Wujiu: "Although you do have a strong ghost aura, I still recognize people well. Where is the ghost just now?"

Bai Ningning turned to the second page of the Four Seasons Chronicle of the Hell Realm and showed it to him.

Xue Li still maintained an angry, grinning expression.

Bai Ningning closed the Four Seasons Chronicle of the Hell Realm in silence.

How could such a cold beauty be tortured like this?

Fan Wujiu: "Is this Xue Li?"

Bai Ningning huddled in her scarf, nodded, and continued walking back. The weather was really cold, and she hesitated whether to take a shortcut through the gate to the underworld.

The ghost messengers finally confirmed that this was the Little King of Hell himself, and they all greeted him loudly: "Hello, Little King of Hell—"

Bai Ningning: "...Okay, thank you so much."

Fan Wujiu asked, "Where is Little King Yan going next?"

"Go back to the hotel and sleep."

She just wanted to go back quickly, find a private space, and then pull Qinghuai out.

She casually asked, "Why are you here?"

"Training new ghost messengers, aren't there a lot of ghosts around here?"

As Fan Wujiu spoke, he called the group of new recruits behind him to come in front of Bai Ningning and make themselves known to her.

A group of new ghost officers look cunning and childish. One look at them reveals that they lack experience, with the word "naive" written all over their faces.

Bai Ningning took a quick look and understood why the Xuan Committee didn't allow anyone to come.

It turns out that the underworld had contracted this great place for leveling up in advance.

Lu Sifeng probably thought she knew, so he didn't say anything.

Fan Wujiu followed closely and said, "Don't leave. Chat with them for a while. It's such a coincidence that we met. Are there any other ghosts around here?"

“…”

Bai Ningning even felt that even if she used the Gate to the Underworld to quickly return to the hotel, Fan Wujiu would be able to follow her to the hotel with the ghost messengers.

She stopped and looked at Fan Wujiu helplessly: "You are ghosts, you are not afraid of the cold, but I am cold."

Even though she was wrapped up like a dumpling, she was still cold.

"Master Fan——"

Zhong Shuo, wrapped in a military coat, was ten meters away, waving happily at him.

Bai Ningning: “…”

Forget it, there’s no need to use the portal anymore.

"Ningning?" Zhong Shuo trotted over, and his legs went weak when he saw Bai Ningning.

He didn't know why, but he seemed to sense murderous intent from Bai Ningning. It was very brief, just a moment - but it was a bit terrifying.

Zhong Shuo thought it was his own illusion, so he laughed twice to cover it up and said to himself: "Ningning, why are you here too?...Oh, I almost forgot, you represent the underworld during the meeting, it's normal."

The ghost messengers whispered, "Little Yama's friend?"

"Isn't that too intimate? Without even using any honorifics."

"Little, little King of Hell?" Zhong Shuo was so frightened that he took a half step back, stumbled, and fell headfirst in the snow.

Yan Tongzheng was startled by the noise and quickly ran over to help Zhong Shuo, who was almost buried in the snow, up. He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Zhong Shuo shook off the snow like a puppy, and shared the big news with Yan Tongzheng with a serious face: "The ghost officials said Ningning is the little king of hell."

Bai Ningning said coldly: "Is it strange?"

Yan Tongzheng was a little surprised, but he quickly accepted the fact: "I see, no wonder..."

Zhong Shuo was in a state of confusion, his eyes shifting between Fan Wujiu, Yan Tongzheng, and Bai Ningning. Wasn't this right? Why wasn't anyone else surprised? Was he the only one?

Bai Ningning waved her hand: "You guys continue, I'm going back to sleep."

Fan Wujiu followed up, "Can't we release Xueli for questioning? There must be a lot of ghosts around here."

"You have to train them and let them find it themselves." Bai Ningning's excuses were reasonable, and she was still racking her brains to make up new ones. "Besides, I imprisoned her using a special method, so she's not stable for the time being, as you can see. It will take some time before we can interrogate her."

If Xue Li is released now, Qing Huai will most likely be betrayed by her.

This is really hard to explain.

"That makes sense." Fan Wujiu was instantly convinced and went to teach the ghost officials how to react in this situation.

Yan Tongzheng and Zhong Shuo discussed it and decided to go back with Bai Ningning.

They came out early and didn't sleep in the afternoon, so it's time to go to bed now.

The three of them walked back, each with their own thoughts.

Zhong Shuo stole glances at Bai Ningning along the way and finally asked, "When did you get here?"

"just."

Bai Ningning asked: "Did you make any money on this trip?"

Zhong Shuo said cheerfully, "No, it's voluntary labor. Although I feel a little unlucky on this trip, I'm happy to be able to help others."

He looked silly as he complained while smiling.

Bai Ningning nodded and said, "You don't have to give me money. If you want to pay off your debt, just catch more ghosts and send them to the underworld."

Yan Tongzheng responded solemnly: "Okay."

Zhong Shuo: "Of course, I would do the same without you telling me."

Bai Ningning wanted to say something when she suddenly felt an itch on her neck.

Coincidentally, it was the location of the five marks on the neck.

The touch feels like a feather stroking it, rubbing back and forth, a little itchy, but within an acceptable range.

Zhong Shuo and Yan Tongzheng suddenly looked at her with strange eyes. The former hesitated for a moment, but still said in confusion: "The ghost energy on you seems to be a bit strong."

As he spoke, the ghost energy moved down from Bai Ningning's neck, circled around her neck stickily, and stopped on her collarbone.

Then, the collarbone seemed to be licked.

Fortunately, the scarf covered her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.

She walked forward without looking around.

He reached his hand under the scarf, pulled the jade pendant off his neck and put it in his pocket.

"Yeah?"

Bai Ningning's voice came from under her scarf, a little muffled and a little strange. She casually said, "It's just from the fight with the ghost just now. It will be blown away by the wind soon."

The source of the ghost energy was indeed the jade pendant.

The strange feeling on my neck disappeared.

The jade pendant was held in her right palm, but it was not at rest.

Ghostly energy leaked out from between her fingers, gradually filling her entire pocket, but not a single bit of it leaked out.

Her right hand was wrapped in ghost energy.

It didn't overflow from her pocket, but it sneaked into her sleeve and licked her wrist.

Bai Ningning was so excited that her hair stood on end. She thought to herself that if he dared to go any further, she would just destroy herself and perish together.

Qing Huai seemed to know his limits, stopping at the edge of the line, moving her fingers and pinching her fingertips from time to time, but without crossing the line.

The ghost energy in the pocket condensed into the shape of a hand at some point, which was just a circle larger than Bai Ningning's hand, just enough to wrap around her hand.

She turned her hand in an attempt to get rid of the ghost hand, but her pocket was so small that she would inevitably come into contact with it unless she pulled her hand back.

This ghost hand was quite restless. It slid from the palm to the fingers, stretching the gap between her fingers and interlocking their fingers in an ambiguous and intimate way.

Bai Ningning's heart was beating a little fast, as if it was about to explode. She could no longer spare the energy to listen to what the two people next to her were saying.

Hidden under the moonlight and snow, she and Qinghuai were secretly holding hands in a game of chasing each other.

Yan Tongzheng and Zhong Shuo didn't notice anything wrong. They just thought that Bai Ningning had been fighting with the ghost for a long time and was tired and sleepy, so she was distracted.

After asking a few questions and finding that Bai Ningning didn't answer, they tactfully shut up.

Bai Ningning suddenly quickened her pace, entered the hotel elevator in advance and pressed the close door button, locking Yan Tongzheng and Zhong Shuo out.

When the two arrived, the door had just closed and the elevator had already started to move upwards.

Yan Tongzheng and Zhong Shuo looked at each other and could only wait for the next elevator helplessly.

Zhong Shuo complained: "I said she was weird. It felt like she helped us, but she didn't want to have anything to do with us."

Yan Tongzheng only said: "Miss Bai is a good person."

Zhong Shuo made a face and asked again, "Uncle Yan, have you ever seen the previous King of Hell before?"

"No."

Zhong Shuo sighed regretfully, "Oh!" and muttered to himself, wondering, "Is the demonic energy surrounding the King of Hell really this strong? I didn't notice it during the previous meeting... Could it be that he left so quickly because he didn't want us to come into contact with it?"

During the discussion, the elevator arrived.

After the two of them entered, they looked around and both showed puzzled expressions.

Zhong Shuo: "That's strange, there's not a single ghost aura left. Has she cleaned it up?"

Yan Tongzheng shook his head: "We didn't leave any ghost energy along the way."

That ghostly aura only exists in Bai Ningning.

Yan Tongzheng speculated, "Maybe the King of Hell has a built-in purification function."

Zhong Shuo was shocked: "How powerful must the ghost she subdued previously be? To leave such a strong ghost aura on her."

Bai Ningning finally returned to the room, feeling relieved.

Before she could throw the jade pendant away, Qing Huai took the initiative to come out, his hand still holding Bai Ningning's right hand: "Look, you are welcoming me."

He couldn't hide his emotions in front of Bai Ningning. His ghostly aura was like a puppy's tail, always betraying its owner at the first moment.

At this moment, Qinghuai's ghostly aura was like cotton candy, soft and silky, without edges or corners, and without aggressiveness.

Bai Ningning felt as if she was in a sea of ​​marshmallows. She knew it was harmless, but she couldn't move.

She didn't show any fear on her face. "So? Why did Mr. Ghost King come back with me?"

Qing Huai moved gently, untying the scarf around her neck circle by circle.

His tone seemed to be tempting her: "What a beautiful color I left for you."

Bai Ningning looked up at him innocently, "Is this why Mr. Ghost King came to strangle me in the middle of the night?"

Qing Huai's fingertips gently stroked the dark blue dots on her neck, his eyes obsessed: "Do you want to become this color?"

"I don't want to." Bai Ningning moved her fingers slightly to test her range of movement.

"Behave yourself." Qing Huai covered her with his other hand to control her naughty left hand.

His tone was gentle, but he exuded an unquestionable calmness from the inside out.

Bai Ningning felt relieved and simply relaxed completely, lying down and not moving.

Qing Huai held her face with his ghostly energy, forcing her to look at him, and asked, "How are you going to compensate me for taking away my right-hand man?"

Bai Ningning was as calm as water: "Maybe we can discuss a cooperation."

"I don't know what cooperation there is between ghosts and the underworld."

Qing Huai chuckled, and a ghostly aura like a hair fell on her collarbone.

"Really?" Bai Ningning suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, "Then I won't be polite."

The palm of her left hand suddenly began to glow, and several jade-white glowing threads oozed out, instantly tying Qinghuai up.

Bai Ningning slowly sat up, pinched his chin with her right hand and looked him in the eye: "The offense and defense have switched, Mr. Ghost King."

"What a shame."

Qing Huai didn't get angry but laughed instead. Even though he was tied up, he refused to stay still. He wrapped Bai Ningning's right hand with his ghost energy to close the distance between them.

He kissed the corner of her lips gently, seemed to smile, and said softly: "Then we can only see each other next time, Miss Yan Wang."

In an instant, Qinghuai turned into black mist and disappeared. The jade-white spiritual thread that bound him returned to Bai Ningning's palm, and the bell rang softly.

Bai Ningning sighed regretfully, lying on the bed, muttering to herself: "He ran away again."

Bai Ningning stood up and looked in the mirror. The five black spots on her neck were still there, but fortunately there were no other new marks.

She rubbed her neck with her left hand. Perhaps because there was still some spiritual power in her left hand, the black spot actually faded a little.

Bai Ningning tried it as if she had discovered a new world - it worked!

She followed the same method and cleaned all the strange ghost marks on her neck. Great, she could see people tomorrow.

Bai Ningning simply washed up and put a talisman on the head of the bed before she fell asleep peacefully.

I slept until dawn, but was woken up not by the sunlight, but by the message alert sound on my mobile phone.

She couldn't open her eyes and her cell phone kept ringing.

She struggled to pick up the phone and found it was a message from Gu Bozhi.

"Sister Ningning, I seemed to have dreamed of you yesterday!"

"I'm not sure if this is a dream, or maybe a wandering spirit?"

"Do you know what's going on?"

"I feel like I met you once, but it seems like only once."

"I didn't have time to say anything yet, so I'm not sure if it was a dream or if I really saw it, but this impression left me."

You talk so much.

Bai Ningning yawned and replied "yes".

She was planning to throw her phone away and continue sleeping, but Gu Bozhi sent her a few more messages.

Gu Bozhi: "Then why do you have five black spots on your neck?"

Gu Bozhi: "One on one side, four on the other. It looks a bit strange. I'm not sure if I'm seeing things..."

Gu Bozhi: "Or is it the pattern on the scarf?"

This completely woke Bai Ningning up.

She stared at her phone for a long time. She was clearly wearing a scarf the whole time yesterday, but how did the other party see the black spot on her neck?

And the other party saw the scarf.

Bai Ningning: "?"

Bai Ningning: "What black spot?"

Gu Bozhi: "I only saw it for a split second, so I'm not sure, but that black spot looked scary."

Gu Bozhi: "Don't you know? Maybe I saw it wrong?"

Bai Ningning: "A moment?"

Gu Bozhi: "Yes, yes, that was the moment you sent me back. I looked like I was shining with golden light, so powerful, like a god."

Bai Ningning: "Maybe I'm dreaming. How about getting some more sleep?"

After she replied, she threw her phone aside, stood up and went to the mirror, looking at her neck for a long time.

Only after confirming that there were no ghost marks did I feel completely relieved.

The talisman on the bedside was still intact, so it seemed that no strange ghost came to disturb her sleep last night.

After having breakfast, Bai Ningning learned from the hotel that Yan Tongzheng and Zhong Shuo had already returned and left her their contact information.

Bai Ningning saved their contact information and thought that she should also give them some special stones from the underworld as amulets.

But then I thought, I can’t just give a stone to everyone I meet. That would be too much trouble.

We have to address the root cause as soon as possible and educate the person who is potentially dangerous.

Bai Ningning wrapped herself up like a dumpling again and went out for a walk avoiding crowded places.

With the Ice and Snow Festival approaching, the residents are having a great time and are particularly warm and friendly to strangers on the street.

Some unfamiliar children saw that she had nothing in her hands and gave her an ice flower.

Not too elaborate, but very cute.

Bai Ningning didn't want to let the child down, so she thanked him and accepted it.

But she didn't wear gloves. If she took the ice cubes with her bare hands, not only would her hands get frozen red, but the ice cubes would also quickly melt due to the temperature of her hands.

She carefully placed the ice flowers on her sleeves and put her hands back into her sleeves to keep warm.

If a person walks on the street with his sleeves sideways, he will look silly and weird.

But everyone seemed to have been given a buff of reduced intelligence by the low temperature, and they all looked silly, which made her seem very sociable.

Everyone here is enjoying the joy of ice and snow. Occasionally, someone falls on the snow, and the people around them laugh and then kindly help them up.

Also stupid.

Everyone is cute and silly.

Bai Ningning took a few photos and sent them to Gu Bozhi: "Ice and Snow Festival."

Gu Bozhi was very considerate and said "Wow" for a long time. After praising the beauty of the place, he said that he also wanted to come.

A ghost on duty recognized Bai Ningning and floated over: "What happened to the little Yama King's hand?"

Bai Ningning handed the ice flower to him and explained with a smile: "It's a gift from a child."

The ghost on duty was puzzled: "Why not just buy a pair of gloves?"

"No, I'll be leaving in a moment."

Bai Ningning walked all the way to the deserted suburbs and placed the ice flowers on the clean and boundless snow.

Walking along the road, there was no trace of ghosts. It seems that the ghost officials had a good harvest last night.

She sent a message to Chu Yuyan saying "Go home for lunch at noon" and then changed her route to go back.

Bai Ningning suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

It seemed to be the same when Chu Ze took her to patrol the streets of the underworld. There was one road when going out and another road when going back.

The ghost officer on duty waved his hand and said, "I won't follow you. I'll look for any more ghosts left."

"Okay, keep going." Bai Ningning smiled and waved goodbye to him.

Zhuo Jia said that people's hearts are easily corrupted, and she did not comment on this.

But smiles are contagious and can purify the soul.

Children on the roadside will give ice sculptures to strangers.

She also takes comfort in the smiles of strangers on the street.

Bai Ningning returned to the Chu family's new villa in a happy mood, and landed in the living room of the villa.

As soon as he walked out, three pairs of eyes from the Chu family stared at him.

Bai Ningning felt cold, and silently moved away from them. She asked, "Why are you all here?"

At this time of day, Chu Ze should be in the underworld, Chu Yuyan is usually reading, and Chu Hanzhou should be working in the company.

Oh, I almost forgot, Chu Hanzhou handed over his work and is now on a long vacation.

She took off her thermal protective gear slowly and said, "Have you decided what to eat for lunch?"

Chu Yuyan: "Is your neck okay?"

"What neck?" Bai Ningning felt a little guilty. Gu Bozhi couldn't possibly sell her out so quickly, right?

She threw her scarf aside, revealing her fair neck. She used her phone as a mirror to look at herself and asked, "What could be the problem?"

Chu Yuyan was silent for a while, then asked, "Why are you going to Snow City all of a sudden?"

Bai Ningning showed off her treasure by taking out the Hell Realm Seasons Chronicle and flipping to the second page to show them: "I heard Xueli is there, going to catch ghosts."

Xue Li's expression had returned to normal, becoming indifferent, but he still looked unhappy.

Bai Ningning put away the Four Seasons Score and said cheerfully, "I'm lucky. I caught it in one night."

Chu Yuyan was skeptical, but he couldn't find any loopholes or evidence, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.

Chu Hanzhou couldn't see the Four Seasons Chart, so he brought her a glass of water and said, "We haven't ordered yet, what would you like for lunch?"

"It's all fine. You decide." Bai Ningning responded casually.

She hugged her snow-soaked scarf and plush hat and asked, "Where is the washing machine in our new home? Where do I live?"

Chu Hanzhou took the initiative to show her around: "I'll take you to have a look. If you're not satisfied, you can change it."

Chu Ze rarely stayed out of the fun. After they went upstairs, he discussed with Chu Yuyan in a low voice: "Do you think she told the truth?"

"It's half true and half false."

Chu Ze grinned at the mirror for a long time, and finally let it go: "Forget it, I won't ask anymore. Let her be."

Bai Ningning was not picky about where she lived. Chu Hanzhou told her it was on the third floor, so she moved in without any hesitation.

Because of his mobility problems, Chu Yuyan lives on the first floor, while Chu Ze and Chu Hanzhou live on the second floor.

In fact, there are still many empty rooms on the first and second floors, but several people agreed that this arrangement is better.

Bai Ningning then remembered that she didn't take her luggage, but it would be strange to go back specially - it would also make it easy for her to be followed.

When the other members of the Chu family came, they changed several cars along the way and asked others to drive their own cars as a decoy to prevent being followed by people with bad intentions.

Chu Hanzhou saw through her thoughts and sent her a phone number. He also pushed an electronic business card and said, "This is a trustworthy assistant. If you need anything, just call her directly and she will deliver it this afternoon."

Bai Ningning: "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I can just go to the supermarket and buy some toiletries myself."

Just buy two more sets of clothes.

She gave the villa a brief tour and checked out the surrounding commercial areas, thus completing the ceremony of moving into her new home.

Chu Hanzhou looked at her back and felt that his sister's life was too simple.

This won't work.

While eating, Chu Ze asked, "Xiao Hei said he ran into you yesterday."

Bai Ningning: "Yeah, what a coincidence, he came just after I caught Xue Li, and he brought a bunch of followers with him."

Chu Ze: "How strong are these newcomers?"

Bai Ningning: "I don't know, I haven't had any contact with him. But when I went shopping today, I met a ghost messenger on duty. He was quite enthusiastic."

Chu Ze wondered: "No dealings at all?"

Bai Ningning: "I'm so sorry, my physique is such that I run into ghosts when I go out. I defeat the ghost boss and then go back to sleep."

Chu Ze was stunned for a few seconds: "Why do I feel that you are a little weird?"

"No." Bai Ningning handed him the contact information of Yan Tongzheng and Zhong Shuo. "They should be dealing with the ghost messengers. You can ask them if you want to ask."

Chu Yuyan: "From the Leiyun Taoist Temple?"

Bai Ningning: "Well, kind-hearted citizens, they almost ended up on the streets. Thank you, big brother, for taking them in at your hotel. If they want to pay, don't accept it. Kind-hearted citizens often do good deeds, and they are not very rich to begin with."

"I know, I know." Chu Ze was aware of the strength of this group of new ghost officials. He asked just to find a topic, but Bai Ningning had never met any of them.

Chu Hanzhou: "Are you also prone to encountering ghosts whenever you go out?"

Bai Ningning noticed the hidden meaning in his words and asked, "Who else?"

Chu Hanzhou smiled and looked at Chu Yuyan: "He is too, but it wasn't obvious at first."

Chu Yuyan smiled, obviously not wanting to mention the past.

Chu Hanzhou told Bai Ningning this as a childhood story, saying, "At first, when Mom was still around, no ghosts dared to approach us, so our condition wasn't very noticeable. But as we grew older, we spent less time with Mom, and ghosts started to stir. That's why he often encountered ghosts whenever he went out."

Bai Ningning looked at Chu Yuyan's calm expression and asked curiously, "Is he afraid too?"

"Yes, I was often scared to tears." Chu Hanzhou laughed happily, "But later I learned how to deal with ghosts, so I'm not afraid anymore."

Bai Ningning was quite envious: "That's great."

Seeing her interest, Chu Yuyan took the initiative to talk, "Later, I was in a wheelchair, and those blind ghosts took advantage of me. They thought I had difficulty moving and wanted to take away my strength. I don't know if it counts as a sting operation, but anyway, they threw me into the Forgotten River to feed the fish."

Only after you have gotten over the painful past can you tell it as a joke.

Bai Ningning's eyes curved, "What a coincidence! I'm often used as bait, so last night was considered a fishing expedition?"

Although I caught an unexpected fish.

When they were almost done eating, Bai Ningning took the initiative to bring up the matter: "After you moved out, someone really set their sights on that villa."

Chu Yuyan thought of the photos she sent him and knew that she had an idea in her mind.

He asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Bai Ningning nodded calmly: "I can only make a rough guess, I'm not sure yet, but I feel that there is a traitor in Xuanmen. Try not to let others know that you also live here, and don't trust anyone."

Chu Yuyan: "Including the ones you rescued?"

Bai Ningning nodded: "Yes, saving people is a natural human instinct, but that doesn't mean I believe them."

Chu Hanzhou felt a little guilty and asked, "What is the scope of the concealment? It means... I know there are people living here, but I don't know who they are?"

Bai Ningning knew he was worried about his normal range of activities and said, "Don't worry, there's no need to be so nervous. It's okay for you, just don't make a big fuss on social media and let the whole world know you live here. You can tell a few trustworthy people in a small circle that you live here, but there's no need to say we're here too."

Chu Hanzhou understood that he could let people know that he lived here, but it would be better not to let others know that Chu Ze, Chu Yuyan and Bai Ningning also lived here.

Bai Ningning: "It's not a big deal, actually. Just don't let people in the metaphysical world know."

This is the safest place she found after searching information from various sources - the spiritual power of the earth veins in this area is low, so people from the Xuanmen sect rarely come here, and there are few ghosts and monsters.

Bai Ningning said to Chu Hanzhou: "You can move around normally."

Chu Hanzhou still felt a little guilty and asked, "Well... for you, shopping should be considered a normal activity, right?"

Bai Ningning looked at Chu Yuyan and Chu Ze in confusion: "What did you buy?"

"No..." I just moved here, how can I have time to buy things?

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Chu Hanzhou said that the express delivery had arrived and there might be a little too much.

The others quickly understood. Chu Ze pushed Chu Yuyan away, and Bai Ningning followed and hid in the study.

Then the three of them looked through the crack in the door and saw that the living room was instantly filled with large and small bags of things.

Bai Ningning couldn't help but complain: "...Did he buy a truckload of stuff?"

Chu Ze is similar to her, with almost no material desires and is not picky about food and clothing.

Chu Yuyan is a picky eater, so at most he would invite a chef to cook at home.

But this was the first time Bai Ningning had seen someone like Chu Hanzhou receive so many express deliveries in one afternoon.

If she didn't know Chu Hanzhou's net worth, she would have misunderstood that he wanted to open a courier storage point.

There were even a few express parcels that were particularly large.

Chu Ze speculated: "Is it because the house is too empty and you want to buy some furniture and decorations to spruce it up?"

Chu Yuyan calmly flipped through the book and said, "Won't you know in a while?"

Chu Ze shook his head: "I feel like I have to stay here for the whole afternoon before I can leave. How about I go to the underworld for a while?"

"As you wish." Bai Ningning took out the blueprint that Cheng Yun had given her before. She was about to start her hard study life again.

Chu Ze took a quick look and felt dizzy when he saw the lines. He covered his head and went to the underworld.

Bai Ningning studied for a while and felt overwhelmed, but she still continued to study.

After a while, Chu Hanzhou knocked on the door: "You can come out now."

Bai Ningning opened the door and found that the living room had been cleaned up without any trace left.

But I didn't see anything extra.

Bai Ningning asked: "What did you buy?"

Chu Hanzhou greeted Chu Yuyan and asked the latter to continue reading.

Chu Hanzhou took Bai Ningning upstairs to visit and said, "Some of the things I bought before arrived today, so it's a good time to decorate. I also bought you some clothes."

He first took Bai Ningning to her room.

Bai Ningning was stunned. She had indeed bought a lot of decorations, but there was no need to pile them all in her room, right? Didn't the other rooms need decorations?

When I first saw it, it had a comfortable and simple style, but now the walls are covered with all kinds of paintings and ornaments, and there are plush dolls of all sizes on the bay windows.

Looking more closely, there was even an extra display cabinet. He introduced it, saying, "After thinking about it, I decided to leave this space open for you. You can put your own things here."

Bai Ningning fell silent.

It looks like it's difficult to keep clean.

【This was my favorite princess room when I was a kid! 】

[My dream house, the display cabinet is perfect for me to put my figurines in]

【Big Brother's Girlish Heart (Fog)】

Seeing that she was not happy, Chu Hanzhou asked, "Don't you like it?"

"No, thank you." Bai Ningning didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

She wasn't used to such lavish love.

Chu Hanzhou pointed to the wall next to the display case and said, "This is connected. It leads directly to the next room. It's been made into a cloakroom for you. You can take a look."

I can only say that Chu Hanzhou is really generous when it comes to buying things.

She almost mistakenly thought she had entered the women's clothing store in the mall.

Maybe Chu Hanzhou really moved the women's clothing store back.

All kinds of dresses are arranged according to clothing styles. It feels like shopping in a shopping mall. There is even a proper fitting room.

Chu Hanzhou said, "If you don't like this arrangement, you can reclassify them by color."

"No, this is fine." Bai Ningning felt the corners of her mouth twitching.

Chu Hanzhou asked: "What's wrong?"

Bai Ningning: "It feels a bit wasteful."

She would probably just wear some comfortable casual clothes, and there were so many pretty little dresses here - which she might never wear in her lifetime, what a waste.

Chu Hanzhou laughed: "Even if you don't want to wear it, it's not a waste if it looks good there."

Bai Ningning felt that she still had some time to get used to with the Chu family.

It's not annoying, nor difficult to accept, but it always confuses her and she doesn't know how to respond to their enthusiasm.

"Thank you, but next time don't be so..." ostentatious.

Bai Ningning noticed Chu Hanzhou's smile, thought for a moment, and then changed her words: "Will you be happy if you buy things for others?"

Chu Hanzhou: "It may not be the case for others, but I will be happy if I buy something for my family."

[Say your gratitude out loud! If you don’t express it, the other person won’t know.]

It’s okay, you can be honest.

[In fact, the eldest brother was also very nervous, feeling very afraid that Ningning would dislike him]

Like a nouveau riche (what)

Bai Ningning thanked him again: "Thank you, I'm very happy too."

"That's good." Chu Hanzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Ningning asked: "Did you buy it for my second brother and the others?"

Chu Hanzhou glanced away and said, "They have it. They buy it themselves. They've bought a lot before."

Bai Ningning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This move seemed to make up for the missing parts of the previous eighteen years at once.

Bai Ningning picked up a piece of stone from the underworld, carved it into the shape of a sunflower, and used her spiritual power to draw a peace amulet on the back, which she gave to Chu Hanzhou as a return gift.

She didn't mention that this stone might save his life at a critical moment. She felt that even if she didn't say it, Chu Hanzhou would keep it well.
