Before his near-death, Chi Shen entered an infinite game. He vanquished tens of thousands of malevolent spirits, dodged covert and overt attacks from countless players, and finally emerged victorio...
"It sounds like Wenqin is not the kind of person who would become friends with me if we asked him 'Can you be friends with me?'"
The newly bought foot soaking bucket arrived. Chi Shen sat in the living room of his home, soaking his feet comfortably, and said to Ji Xingchen that he decided to enjoy life, so something like a foot soaking bucket that improves comfort in winter is a must-buy. Whether he needs it or not, owning it is a kind of happiness.
The ghost face who wanted to go into the foot bath tub to soak was beaten by Chi Shen. Hearing this, he twisted his face and said, "Ordinary people won't really be friends with you just because you say 'Can you be my friend?'! There's something wrong with such people. They're either selling tea or they want to ask if you can come to their money-making fund."
Ji Xing sat in a pile of documents. At this moment, he raised his head and pushed his glasses. A cold light flashed on the lenses: "If Chi Shen asked you, can you be friends with him, will you refuse?"
Ghost Face imagined the scene. He felt a chill suddenly rushing through his body, which had disappeared for who knows how long. He whispered, "No... It's not that I can't, but I, I don't dare."
Bai Wan, who was watching an idol drama on her tablet, turned around and said, "That's what I mean."
Ghost Face whispered even more quietly: "How can this be called becoming friends with someone? Does he want to be my friend or does he want to die?"
"And he may very well be your uncle or father, so we have to be respectful to the elderly." Chi Shen reached out to get the sofa cushion so that he could lie down better and soak his feet.
Ji Xingchen said: "We need to investigate first."
Chi Shen nodded: "We need to find out what the old man likes, so that we can prepare gifts that he likes and visit him."
Ghost Face looked at the water in the foot bath tub, then looked around: "I feel like you guys are not talking about the same thing."
As they were talking here, a female ghost in red came out from under the coffee table, dragging a package. She seemed to want to slip away from under Chi Shen's nose while neither the people nor the ghosts were paying attention.
But there was still a ghost staring at her.
Huang Lingling grabbed the newly grown bones of the red-clothed female ghost with a vicious look on her face and asked grimly: "What are you doing?"
The female ghost in red was still crawling forward. She seemed a little confused as to why she had been crawling for so long but was still in the same place. When she heard Huang Lingling's voice, she turned around and found that she was being held by Huang Lingling. So she turned her head, bent her neck to an incredible angle, and bit Huang Lingling directly!
Huang Lingling let go in pain, but she refused to give in and complained loudly: "This ghost is stealing things!"
Chi Shen was soaking his feet and could only persuade them to stop fighting verbally: "Daughter, you have to get along well with your friends and not fight."
Huang Lingling was very angry and tried to take the package that the red-clothed female ghost was dragging. When the red-clothed female ghost saw that Huang Lingling was going to touch her package, she immediately hid the package under her belly.
There was only a piece of bone where her stomach was, so her hiding was equivalent to not hiding anything. Everyone saw the package at a glance.
"What is that?" Chi Shen asked. He remembered that he hadn't bought anything recently.
The red-clothed female ghost stuffed the package back into her stomach again, and looked at Chi Shen innocently with her bloodshot eyes.
Ghost Face was the first to jump over. As soon as he touched the package, he said, "It smells good... No, it stinks!"
Huang Lingling also noticed this. Her dark eyes rolled, and she pulled the package hard, pulling it out from under the bones of the red-clothed female ghost, and held it up to complain: "She wanted to hide the dangerous items, and I found it!"
As she spoke, her expression changed slightly, as if she wanted to put the package away herself, but she realized something was wrong, her expression changed several times, and she directly threw the package in her hand over.
Chi Shen raised his hand to take it, took a look at the delivery slip, and found that it was a package from the Bai family. He read it out: "Sent by Bai Ximing?"
Now all the ghosts looked at him, even Ji Xingchen pushed his glasses and turned to look at the package.
Chi Shen looked at the package with interest. There was a smell in it that ordinary people would find stinky, but evil spirits would find fragrant. He had no idea what it was.
Bai Wan handed a pair of scissors to Chi Shen. Chi Shen soaked his feet and slowly opened the package. Inside was an exquisitely wrapped gift box and a letter.
Chi Shen opened the letter first, and several ghosts came over. Huang Lingling took a few glances and said disdainfully: "Is there anything that can't be said in person? You still need to write a letter. What's this about?"
The red-clothed female ghost had already read out: "Xiuyun and Bairan did not listen to my advice some time ago, causing you a lot of trouble..."
The letter was not short, but the general meaning was that I had not disciplined my people well and had caused you a lot of trouble, so I sent some things as an apology and hoped Chi Shen could accept them. I didn't know what Chi Shen needed, but I knew that Chi Shen had taken in a lot of ghosts, so I sent some things that ghosts liked to help Chi Shen raise ghosts.
Chi Shen opened the gift box and took a look. As soon as he opened it, he was hit by the bloody smell. There was nothing bloody inside, just some items stained with blood and some dried meat slices that could not be identified from where.
When he finished reading, he looked up and saw several ghost eyes staring at him. Bai Wan turned her head to this side. Only Ji Xingchen did not move. He still sat quietly among a pile of documents with his glasses on.
With a "click", Chi Shen closed the gift box. Several ghosts looked at the gift box with longing, but when they saw Chi Shen put the gift box away again, they showed a little regret.
I want it, but I don’t dare to grab it.
Chi Shen put away the gift box and took out some ancient hairpins, yellowed white gauze, bloody wine glasses and other things, one for each ghost. These were all brought out from the Death Game. They were very yin and could be considered good supplements for ghosts.
After being given supplements, a few ghosts still looked at the gift box, but it seemed that their desire for it was no longer as strong. Huang Lingling even immediately turned to disdain: "That smells too bad."
Bai Wan laughed beside him, and Ghostface also spat: "Even dogs don't want Bai Ximing's things!"
Chi Shen listened and laughed. All the things had been distributed, but he found that Ji Xingchen did not come over. It seemed that he was immersed in the pile of things that gave him a headache just by looking at them. Chi Shen thought about it and decided not to disturb him and just give him a small gift later.
After soaking his feet, he took the gift box and walked over to Ji Xingchen. He asked in the tone of a teacher inspecting classwork, "How is it? How many are left?"
Ji Xing didn't even raise his head, like a student who had done an excellent job, he put one document aside and went to get another one. He said, "It will be done soon, and we can finish it tonight."
"That's great, this can be handed in together." Chi Shen placed Bai Ximing's gift next to Ji Xingchen.
Ji Xingchen took a look at the gift box, and suddenly his eyes changed. There was a moment of confusion and suppressed violence.
Chi Shen patted Ji Xingchen, and Ji Xingchen looked at Chi Shen again, his eyes gradually becoming clear again.
Chi Shen said, "There's your blood in it."
