Chapter 41 Extra Update: Master Wu, the thing you are looking for is called love...

Wen Lanzhi took the rattle and turned it once, twice, and three times.

The rattle was beating randomly in her hands.

She was happy and Wu Ci Yan bought her a gift.

I was also a little unhappy. The rattle is actually not very interesting. It's just like that. I don't want to spin it anymore after spinning it twice.

It's just for coaxing children, but unfortunately she is not a child anymore.

She put the rattle on the table.

Wu Ciyan asked, "Why do you like this? Isn't it boring?"

"Hmm..." She took the new clothes Wu Ciyan handed her. "It's quite boring. I didn't expect it to be so boring before."

He laughed out loud and said, "What? Now that you have it, you don't cherish it anymore?"

Wen Lanzhi slowly undressed as she spoke, "When my mom and dad were together, they promised to be together forever. My dad would only love my mom forever, and my mom would only love my dad. They were very good at first. When my dad was poor, he would save money and buy my mom her favorite snacks. My mom was young at the time, and she was touched by my dad."

She sighed and took off her outer garment. "Then my father fell in love with someone else and bought snacks for her. My mother was a strong-willed woman who didn't want to eat other people's leftovers. So she took the family's money and took us brothers and sisters away."

She set her eyes on the rattle. "When I was little, I was ignorant. I saw others had rattles, but I didn't, so I pestered my mother. Not only did I not get one, but I even got scolded. Sigh..."

She didn't feel sad for long. She raised her head, smiled, and said, "But I have it now."

She murmured, "They say monsters are free, but I think it would be better if they were restrained like in the mortal world. At least they wouldn't abandon their wives and children like this."

"Heh..." Wu Ciyan chuckled, "Wencheng used to allow mortals to enter. The places these mortals once set foot in are now strictly controlled. That's the place that most resembles the mortal world. Do you think that's okay? Do you think the eldest daughter of the Chen family is okay? Do you think Gu Ruo is okay? Do you think those demon officials who just lie in bed and sleep all day and get to eat government food are okay?"

He changed into new clothes and sat down next to Wen Lanzhi. "The mortal world is in chaos now. When your father was ungrateful, your mother could at least take you and the silver and leave. In the mortal world, your mother can't take the money, nor can she take you."

He paused and said, "Neither is good."

Wen Lanzhi grabbed the pouch at her waist and said, "Yes, my mother can at least decide who to marry, whether to marry or not, and whether to have children or not. Wen Cheng's daughters have no choice."

When she first arrived in Wencheng, she also thought it was very strange.

Monsters from other places may not have seen their parents when they grow up, and parents are embarrassed to ask their children questions.

After a long time, I didn't think it was strange anymore.

After a long chat with people from outside the city today, she realized that strange places are still strange, but she is used to it.

"Hey—you say..." Wen Lanzhi looked at the candlelight in the distance, "If monsters can make their own decisions in the future and return to their free and unrestrained lives as before, will the old residents of Wencheng be bullied? They are in the monster world, but they follow rules that don't belong to the monster world. They don't understand what other monsters are like, and they don't understand why the monsters think they are old-fashioned and pedantic."

Wu Ciyan asked, "Will there ever be such a day?"

He asked himself countless times, will there ever be a day when monsters can make their own decisions?

have no idea.

He used to tell himself "I will definitely do it", but after a long time, he even became dazed.

"Oh my God! Where is this?" A familiar voice sounded outside the room.

Wen Lanzhi was startled and jumped up subconsciously, almost jumping onto the bed.

Wu Ciyan mouthed the word: arm.

Oh oh oh.

Wen Lanzhi remembered that it was the person she chose herself.

Wu Ciyan said he had something to ask.

Wen Lanzhi asked quietly, "Why are you here just now?"

Wu Ciyan said, "We'll wait until the stall is closed and intercept him on his way home, otherwise he'll attract too much attention."

He opened the door and startled his boss.

The boss put the arm back in place, stretched his neck, raised the arm in question, and felt it upwards. It was a little short and he was confused.

Wu Ciyan leaned over and said, "Come in."

The boss forgot to resist for a moment and went in.

Once you come in, it’s not easy to get out.

Wu Ciyan gave the boss some change and said, "I want to ask you something."

"Oh, oh." The boss understood and sat down without any hesitation. "Hey, please tell me nicely. Seriously, I was on my way home when suddenly a white light flashed. I thought I had violated some taboo and was arrested."

However, there were some unreasonable people who directly arrested people in the past. Compared with those people, this young man was relatively polite. At least it did not affect his business.

Wu Ciyan got straight to the point and asked, "Where can I get a new skin?"

All spiritual things can be used as vehicles to carry souls, such as peaches and grapes.

But correspondingly, they break easily and are not as useful as new ones.

Wu Ci Yan still wanted to find a new skin for the little girl.

The boss removed the severed hand and scratched his back. "Ah... Young Master, this is illegal, right? Will the masters in your demon world agree to this?"

Wu Ciyan said, "Don't worry about it."

"Oh." The boss put the severed hand back on. "It's easy for you to get a skin bag here in the ghost market, but it's definitely not as good as buying it at the Ghost Realm Skin Bag Bureau... You don't have the money to go there, right? How about this, I'll tell you a place."

"Speak." Wu Ci Yan handed him another small piece of silver.

He put it away and said, "There's a boss in Qiwu Town. His house has been haunted for the past few days and he's looking for someone to solve the problem. The reward is a fake human skin. Although it's fake, it's enough. You can find a way to get it to the ghost market and go to the clothing store in front. Give the human skin and they will know about it."

Wen Lanzhi muttered, "You know so much about illegal things."

The boss squeezed the silver in his hand and smiled sweetly at her.

Wu Ciyan asked again: "How do we get to the ghost world?"

The boss was stunned, his eyes looking up, "Sir, stop joking. We can't go back, how would we know how to get to the ghost world?"

"Don't give me that." Wu Ciyan took a heavy bag.

The boss looked at the bag and swallowed, "Uh..."

Wu Ciyan put the bag on the table.

Wen Lanzhi also exclaimed in amazement.

So generous?

It doesn't seem like it was for that little girl. Was he going to the ghost world anyway?

Is there anything wrong?

The boss acted helpless and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone. These are the guys who feed us."

"Don't say." Wu Ci Yan said.

The boss said, "It's not that difficult, actually. Xixi Lake is the junction of the ghost world, the mortal world, and the demon world. Usually, we ghosts and monsters just need to go to Xixi Lake and go back through the gap in the ghost world. The people in the ghost world will think we are sneaking out to do business, so at most we will get beaten. But you, young master... don't even think about it."

The boss took the heavy bag and opened it a little.

After looking at what was inside, his hands trembled as he opened the bag with a clang and poured out a dozen stones.

He stared with his eyes wide open, about to get angry, but then he saw the young man in front of him wave his hand, and the scene changed, and he had already arrived home.

boss:"……"

Forget it, that young man has great magical powers and he cannot afford to offend him. Just accept it and consider it bad luck.

Wen Lanzhi picked up a stone that had rolled to her feet and quickly opened Wu Ciyan's purse to check.

After seeing it clearly, she patted her chest.

Fortunately, there were no stones in Wu Ciyan’s purse.

Wu Ciyan flicked her forehead and asked, "Am I that unreliable?"

Wen Lanzhi took out two pieces of silver, looked at them in her hand, and asked, "What if he comes back to find us later?"

Wu Ciyan said, "He came here suddenly and left suddenly. He had no idea where we were."

Wen Lanzhi felt relieved.

She stood up and continued changing her clothes.

Wu Ciyan said, "You're taking so long to change clothes."

Wen Lanzhi said, "I was interrupted just now."

After changing clothes, Wen Lanzhi lay down on the bed.

Wu Ciyan was about to lie down on the ground but was stopped by Wen Lanzhi.

Wu Ciyan looked at her in confusion, "Why? I'm on night watch?"

"What are you thinking about?" Wen Lanzhi knew he was joking and hit him lightly.

She moved in and said, "How can we, two people without morals, be so moral when it comes to matters between men and women?"

"Hmm?" Wu Ci Yan probably understood what she meant, but since Wen Lanzhi didn't say it clearly, it would be difficult for him to overstep his bounds.

Wen Lanzhi said, "I say, why don't you sleep on top of me? I think we can sleep on the same bed together, as long as we don't do anything else."

"Okay." Wu Ci Yan had no objection at all.

He lay down. The bed was small, so he had to lie flat with his arm against Wen Lanzhi's. He turned sideways with his back to Wen Lanzhi.

Wen Lanzhi asked, "Why are you turning your back to me?"

Wu Ciyan said, "Face to face, rolling around in the middle of the night, it's easy to kiss."

Wen Lanzhi: “…” What a mess of excuses.

She pulled up the quilt, turned over noisily, and also faced away from him.

After a while, she asked, "Are you going to the ghost world?"

Wu Ciyan said, "I can go anywhere."

Wen Lanzhi asked, "Don't you have a goal?"

No one spoke for a long time.

Wen Lanzhi was ready to give up and close her eyes to sleep.

Wu Ciyan replied: "Yes, but this goal is not a destination, but a thing."

Wen Lanzhi asked, "What is it?"

Wu Ciyan replied, "It's something that comes and goes without a trace, or even just a legend. We don't even know if it exists in this world."

Wen Lanzhi: “…Ah?”

Wu Ciyan asked, "What does this description look like to you?"

Wen Lanzhi thought for a long time, then suddenly curved her eyes and said, "Love."

Wu Ciyan smiled.

The two people were very close, with their ears pressed against the pillow. Wu Ci Yan's laughter traveled along the pillow to his heart, making him feel itchy, as if being tickled.

Wu Ciyan asked, "Do you feel there is love?"

Wen Lanzhi said: "No, what about you?"

Wen Lanzhi felt that Wu Ciyan would definitely say no.

But unexpectedly, Wu Ciyan answered "yes" without hesitation.

"Hmm?" Wen Lanzhi turned halfway over and looked back at him, "You actually said yes."

Wu Ciyan said: "Of course there are, but many people just haven't encountered it."

Wen Lanzhi asked: "If you were asked to give up your life for the one you love, would you?"

Wu Ciyan said, "Yes."

Wen Lanzhi: "That's amazing. No, so what are you looking for?"

Wu Ciyan moved away from her and said, "They say it's just a myth. Who knows?"
