Jiang Yuan quietly entered through the back door, and Bu Yao could not possibly miss his movements, as she could tell from the moment he entered that a divine sense had landed on her.

"Why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be having dinner with your wife?" Bu Yao's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough for the people in the rows in front and behind to hear.

As a result, several disdainful glances swept over Jiang Yuan, especially from a few women whose eyes, filled with hatred for the scumbag, seemed to want to devour him.

"Cough cough!"

Jiang Yuan coughed lightly and then said, "My wife was coaxed back by your husband, otherwise, I wouldn't have had time to come out and look for you!"

"Huh!"

The gazes of those in the front and back rows became strange. What was initially thought to be just a scumbag's affair now seemed to be a real-life drama about family ethics.

Bu Yao rolled her eyes and didn't say anything, just sat there silently experiencing the visual impact of the horror movie.

"Looks like I'm in luck, so many seats are empty!" Jiang Yuan glanced at Bu Yao's seat. This girl is strange, she chose a couple's seat even though she's alone, and the whole row is empty.

"It's not that you're lucky, it's that I bought a whole row of seats!" Bu Yao ruthlessly exposed this guy's narcissistic behavior.

"I can watch movies every day and never get tired of them!"

Jiang Yuan sat down next to Bu Yao, holding popcorn.

"Then you follow me around every day, don't you get tired of it?" Bu Yao retorted.

"Me?" Jiang Yuan smiled. He could clearly hear the jealousy in Bu Yao's tone. He knew perfectly well where this sudden jealousy came from; it must be because of Liu Zhaodi.

"ah!"

Their conversation was interrupted by a scream. They initially thought it was just an accident, but the subsequent screams gave Jiang Yuan a real headache.

This horror movie wasn't just shown on the screen; it was clearly shown in a movie theater. Compared to the screen, the screams of those girls were what made it a real horror movie.

Amidst the clamor, Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at Bu Yao, who was watching the film with utmost concentration. He was curious why Bu Yao, who clearly did not want to stay among humans, was so earnestly trying to integrate into the human race.

Perhaps the dog-eat-dog social law of the Holy Spirit Clan is not suitable for Bu Yao's peaceful and uncontested mindset, while the human race is obviously more suitable for this innocent girl.

"Everyone else is scared, why aren't you?" Jiang Yuan asked a very stupid question, because it's obvious if you think about it. Even if it were a real ghost, let alone a fake one, Bu Yao would have already slashed at it with her sword.

All the demons and monsters are just false fears born of a lack of power.

"Why should I be afraid?" Bu Yao asked, puzzled.

Jiang Yuan looked around and finally focused on a couple in the front row. He said, "Look at that girl. She's not actually scared, but she's still acting scared. Why do you think that is?"

"To satisfy my boyfriend's protective instincts!" Bu Yao said irritably, glancing at Jiang Yuan. "I just don't understand human society, I'm not an idiot!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"So, you want me to be scared so I can run into your arms and satisfy your childish protective instincts?" Bu Yao asked calmly.

"If you want, I don't mind being a little childish," Jiang Yuan said, shrugging to show his casual attitude.

"Just eat your snacks, why are you talking so much while watching a movie!"

Bu Yao grabbed a handful of popcorn from the bucket and fed it to Jiang Yuan. Of course, it would be more accurate to say she stuffed it into his mouth than to say she fed him.

"Are you sure you don't need my safe and strong arms?" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Come on, you should save it for your wife at home. I'm not worthy of it!" Bu Yao's actions of stuffing popcorn into her mouth became a bit rougher, and she definitely looked like she had a grudge against someone.

"Could you please keep your voices down? You're disturbing our movie!"

"Yeah, they dress all smartly, but where's their manners?!"

As soon as Bu Yao finished speaking, a couple two rows ahead of her turned around and complained, and it was this one sentence that made Bu Yao completely furious.

"What kind of person is this? He was yelling so loudly, and now he's telling me to be quiet! It's completely unreasonable!" Bu Yao said angrily, grabbing Jiang Yuan's sleeve.

"Sometimes you have to look for the problem within yourself." Jiang Yuan not only didn't help, but also made sarcastic remarks from the side.

"Are you out of your mind? What's wrong with me? My volume isn't even over 20 decibels, how is it loud!" Bu Yao's fingernails dug deep into Jiang Yuan's skin, her anger already building up.

That's not the point I'm making!

Jiang Yuan pointed to the girl next to him in the front row and said, "She has a boyfriend, you don't, that's the problem!"

"Ha!" Bu Yao closed her eyes, not wanting to pay him any attention.

"Watch me!"

Jiang Yuan snapped his fingers, then took a piece of Holy Spirit Marrow and smashed it on the head of the man in the front row. After smashing it, he whistled and looked completely idle.

"Damn it, which bastard is that?!"

The man jumped to his feet, but before he could finish shouting for more than three seconds, the girl he was with pulled him back down to sit.

"You..." Bu Yao felt both speechless and relieved at the sight, but still muttered, "How can you throw money at people like that!"

"What's wrong with that? It makes us feel better and they're happy. We're happy, they're happy, everyone's happy, right?" Jiang Yuan didn't see anything wrong with it. He took out another piece of Holy Spirit Marrow and said, "If you want to pick up a pie falling from the sky, then you have to be prepared to get hit by it!"

After saying that, the Holy Spirit Marrow was thrown at him again.

This time, however, the man who was hit did not scream or make a fuss. Instead, he and his girlfriend excitedly searched the ground for the fallen piece of Holy Spirit Marrow.

"Little maid, why don't you give it a try too?"
