Practice all good deeds

A night passed.

Su Liu was half asleep and half awake, feeling her hand on something soft and warm. In her dream, a lovely voice said: That's a marshmallow, you can pick it up and have a look.

How can you grab a marshmallow with your hands? Can you still eat it?

In the dream, Su Liu felt something was strange, but still tried to catch it.

It's soft, warm and feels very comfortable to touch.

"Su Liu," Qi Fengling blew towards Su Liu.

Su Liu woke up instantly.

His hand was touching Cuicui's belly.

Cuicui was sleeping with her legs up in the air and snoring softly. It was obvious that she was in a deep sleep.

"......" Su Liu quickly moved his hand away.

Where can I find a cat that sleeps like this?

And her little belly is exposed.

He actually did this to a kitten unconsciously.

It is said that cats can enter dreams, but Su Liu didn't know whether it was true or not. He stared at his hands in a daze.

...Why would his hand touch Cuicui?

Qi Fengling moved closer to Su Liu, his eyes fixed on Cuicui, but he quickly kissed Su Liu on the side of the cheek.

After the kiss, Qi Fengling looked at Su Liu with a smile, like a little Alpha who had succeeded in doing something bad.

Su Liu blushed, and he complained in a low voice, "You are too childish."

I inexplicably feel like a parent who shamelessly shows affection in front of his child.

Qi Fengling whispered softly into Su Liu's ear, "Su Liu, I just realized now that you're right. I don't like children either. They're too much of a nuisance."

"...What are you talking about?" Su Liu's ears also turned red.

What child? You want a child? Don't throw it to me, I don't have time! Cuicui suddenly came over, her eyes wide and shining. She glanced at Qi Fengling and then at Su Liu.

Su Liu covered his face with the quilt, and he felt that his face must be very red.

Cuicui jumped up and stepped on the milk.

After a few steps, he was driven away by Qi Fengling again.

Little Mint! He pushed me! Cuicui was so angry that she pushed her head against Su Liu's shoulder through the quilt.

"Is the child complaining to you?" Qi Fengling's voice came from the other side.

Su Liu couldn't stand it anymore, so he lifted the quilt and sat up. He covered his face with his hands and said helplessly, "Stop talking."

Qi Fengling was lying on the bed and laughing.

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the farmhouse.

When Su Liu and the others opened the door and went out, a lot of people had already gathered outside.

Manager Gu stood in the center of the crowd, and on his left was Lao Jing, who was beating a gong.

"Everyone, get up! Manager Gu has something to say." Lao Jing shouted.

Wait until the crowd is almost gathered.

Manager Gu began his speech.

He spoke incoherently and hesitantly.

But the general meaning is very clear, his father's funeral is today and he needs help.

Su Liu and the others stood on the outskirts of the crowd.

Cuicui hid in the treetops, licking her paw pads as if it had nothing to do with her.

"In this kind of thing, Xiaohong's man must be one of them," the crowd began to boo.

Ji He clenched his fists in anger.

Su Liu signaled Ji He to calm down and said with a bit of shyness, "But, my A Ling is born in the Year of the Snake, and Gu Zhangshi's father was born in the Year of the Pig. They clash, so isn't that unlucky for us to be carrying the coffin?"

"Ah? Well, I'm also a snake, so I definitely can't do it."

"I'm a monkey, so I can't do that either."

The crowd instantly split into two groups.

A sensation.

After much deliberation and shoving, the process finally concluded near noon when a suitable candidate was chosen. The winners, of course, weren't very willing to help, and the atmosphere became tense. Manager Gu had no choice but to act like a superior and resort to drawing lots. Whoever got the lot would do the job, and that's when the process came to an end.

After the division of labor was clarified, those who were eliminated due to conflicts with the zodiac or folk customs finally cursed in relief: "Master Gu, that old man, is becoming more and more shameless."

Su Liu and the others were perfectly invisible and took Cuicui to find Mu Qingting.

On the way, Qi Fengling asked, "How do you know I'm a snake?"

"Nonsense," Su Liu said casually, seemingly not paying much attention. "Could it be that Master Gu could investigate?"

"...I am really a snake," Qi Fengling looked at Su Liu sadly, as if all his passion had been fed to the heartless creature.

Su Liu laughed and said half-seriously, "Ah, it seems that my finger calculations are really accurate."

Is it so hard to admit that you're interested in him? Su Liu must be being stubborn again. Qi Fengling skillfully approached and pinched Su Liu's waist.

"Stop it," Su Liu took a half step back to avoid Qi Fengling's attack and looked towards Ji He.

Ji He held Cuicui in his arms, and the man and the cat were whispering to each other.

Cats that can communicate without obstacles are obviously more interesting than dog food. Ji He had a lot of fun playing with them and obviously didn't care about the interaction between Su Liu and the couple.

"What color do you prefer?"

"Oh? It's pink?!"

"How about I make you a pink saliva bag?"

"You still like bows? Then I'll embroider them for you."

"How long will it take to embroider it? Well... when I return to Spark City, if there's nothing else to do, I can probably finish it in half a month."

"Is this still slow? But I want to make it better for you. Look, I have to choose the fabric and the pattern..." Ji He counted on his fingers and explained his handmade steps to Cuicui seriously.

Su Liu was surprised to find out from Ji He's words that Ji He could actually embroider.

This is a skill that is not mentioned in the original book. The original book describes Ji He as being good-looking and naive, with seemingly no other advantages. He is like a top-notch toy specially customized for Alpha dignitaries.

In the process of getting along with Ji He, the originally flat character gradually became flesh and blood.

Ji He can cry, get angry, and be dissatisfied; he can also laugh, act coquettishly, and coax cats.

Compared to the beautiful vase in the original book who revolves around four Alphas all day and even has to write a written application form to go out, Ji He, who is not mentally controlled by them and is not kidnapped by rotten love, seems more dazzling.

Su Liu muttered to himself, wondering how much of a surprise Ji He, whose soul had been reshaped, could bring him.

Halfway through the journey, Su Liu clearly saw Mu Qingting already waiting in a pavilion.

Zhao Jing turned into a little bat, stood on her shoulder and looked into the distance.

But the dynamic vision of the vampires was not good, and he obviously did not see Su Liu and the others.

When they were about 800 meters away, Zhao Jing moved. At this distance, he should be able to vaguely see the outlines of Su Liu and his group.

Mu Qingting said, "Is it them?"

Zhao Jing said uncertainly, "I can't see clearly, but it looks a bit like it."

"Then wait a moment," Mu Qingting sat down.

After waiting about 50 meters, Zhao Jing finally confirmed Su Liu's identity, and immediately called Mu Qingting and walked towards Su Liu.

Trees, flowers, and low houses on the slopes block human vision.

Mu Qingting climbed over a small hill and finally saw Su Liu.

The two groups quickly joined forces.

Explain the relevant matters.

Cuicui jumped out of Ji He's arms reluctantly and was caught by Mu Qingting.

See you next time, Little Peach Blossom! Cuicui waved her tail and said goodbye to Ji He.

As the king of cats, it certainly would not ignore Su Liu. It turned its little head and quickly blinked its right emerald green eye at Su Liu.

This is a cute "wink".

It also reveals the playfulness of human nature.

Zhao Jing had no idea what the cat so close to him was doing. He told Su Liu that he wanted to stay and help Li An. Zhao Jing had this idea because, besides the many trivial matters in the village, he had also seen a few farces that were more interesting than the scripts he and Mu Qingting had written. In addition, he had only been a vampire for a few years and had not yet changed his human nature of loving to join in the fun.

But Su Liu felt that although Mu Qingting was not a weak woman, it would still be a bit difficult for her to fight two Alphas alone in a closed environment, so she asked Zhao Chun to transform into a little bat and follow secretly in case of emergency.

As for the second-in-command in the manor, Su Liu thought Hu Sui was very good.

"If you follow Mu Qingting, you can see more interesting farces than here," Su Liu said only one sentence, and Zhao Jing no longer insisted.

After sending Mu Qingting and the others away, Li An came over and reported to Su Liu about the underground palace.

"I don't know what they did. It's dirty and smelly. I have to spend money to redecorate it." Li An took Su Liu and the others to the entrance of the underground palace.

The location of the entrance has not changed.

"The group doing the experiment and the group who want to kill me are not from the same faction, right?" Su Liu walked down the stairs and couldn't help but recall the scene when he first came here.

"There are many factions within the organization. They are the peace faction and usually only focus on their own affairs," Li An walked in front, carrying a kerosene lamp.

Qi Fengling protected Su Liu and Ji He and walked at the end.

The underground palace is very quiet.

Maybe if Cuicui were here, she could hear the cockroaches gossiping in low voices.

This information was also thanks to the heavy rains in the past few days and these creatures crawling in the dark. Otherwise, Su Liu would have no clue at all and would probably have to experience another "disaster revelation" before he could take precautions in advance.

In the center of the palace was a white room. When Su Liu pushed open the door and walked in, she realized that it was a specially made double-sided glass room.

People living in this room can see clearly the people and things in the surrounding rooms, while others cannot see in the opposite direction.

This is crazy.

After living in this room for a long time, the person who lives in this room will definitely be the first to go crazy.

The voice that Su Liu accidentally heard last time should have come from that little girl.

Including today, more than a month has passed.

Su Liu felt a little guilty for not being able to help her.

Apart from some bloodstains and hairs of varying lengths and thicknesses, there were no other traces of identity left in the room.

It is even more impossible to piece together the entire experimental process from this tiny clue.

"Perhaps this is the life lesson she has chosen," Qi Fengling consoled her. "It's difficult to change her fate. No one can help her until the time is right."

"Brother Fengling, have you been studying numerology recently?" Su Liu couldn't help but smile at Qi Fengling's serious words.

He smiled, and the haze in his heart dissipated.

"All living beings suffer, and the only way to save themselves is to save themselves," Qi Fengling put his hands together and bowed to Su Liu, looking noble and unworldly, and not to be desecrated.

"The holy monk is right," Su Liu also clasped his hands together and reverently returned the salute to Qi Fengling.

Li An turned around and saw this scene, and couldn't help but complain in his heart that these two vampires might as well recite the "Nirvana Mantra" a few times, which would be better than being so formalistic.

Ji He, however, had different ideas from Li An.

As Su Liu and Qi Fengling bowed to each other while talking, the entire underground palace became brighter than before, as if dispelling some dark obsessions.

After that, they said nothing more, turned around twice, and then returned the same way.

After giving Li An a few words of instruction and asking him to take Qi Fengling's handwritten letter and ask Andri to transfer some soldiers, Su Liu and the others returned to the farmhouse.

It was almost evening at this time, and everyone in the farmhouse took their bowls and chopsticks and ran to the West Square for the banquet.

"Master Gu's treat is rare!"

Everyone passed by Su Liu and the others, talking and laughing.

Since I have already paid my share, there is no reason not to eat.

Su Liu also took out his bowl and chopsticks, and joined the crowd with Qi Fengling and Ji He.

Everyone at the table was in high spirits, even Manager Gu was jubilant after eating so much.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s a wedding banquet.

In addition, those who helped with the funeral in the afternoon had one more dish than those who did not help, which was a roasted whole lamb.

Everyone felt a little dissatisfied, but it was better than nothing.

Su Liu and the others arrived late, and the dishes on the table were scattered all over the place. Someone even started arguing over a piece of braised pork. Su Liu lost his appetite instantly and immediately turned back the way he had come, ready to pack up and return to Spark City, hoping to catch dinner there.

On the way back to the farmhouse, he met Old Li who was standing quietly on the edge of the field watching the setting sun. Su Liu took the opportunity to tell Old Li in advance about his departure back to the city.

Old Li had been looking forward to leaving every day, but now he was a little hesitant, as if he had something unfinished.

"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly," Su Liu said.

"City Lord, if I become a vampire, will Spark City still be able to accommodate me?" Old Li was uneasy.

Su Liu is a vampire herself, so how could she not tolerate vampires? Could it be that Liu Weizhen and the others didn't know he was a vampire? No way? He never thought of hiding it. Su Liu pointed at Qi Fengling with her eyes and said indirectly: "My fiancé is a vampire, what's the problem?"

Fiancé, why does this word sound so nice? Qi Fengling lowered her head shyly.

"Ah?" Old Li looked at Qi Fengling in shock, feeling as helpless as if he knew something but was too embarrassed to say it, only to be admitted so openly by the person involved.

"Any other questions?" Su Liu asked again.

"Ah! That... that's no problem." The shock in Lao Li's eyes had not yet subsided, and he almost tripped when he left.

When Su Liu and the others packed up and left, only Li An came to see them off.

A few days ago, Su Liu tricked Dangxia into doing field work and he wouldn't be back for a while.

After careful consideration, Lao Li decided to stay and wait and see for the time being.

Li An has led his troops to surround the manor and dismissed all the people in the manor's clinic.

Ang Lee didn't say anything like "It's so sad to see you off for thousands of miles", he just handed Su Liu a small glass bottle filled with light blue liquid.

"Just this little? You're too stingy. How are we going to divide it among the three of us?" Su Liu pinched the rubber dropper on the bottle cap in surprise.

"Just drop a small drop into the water. There are ten drops here, how can it not be enough to share?" When talking about professional fields, Li An immediately became excited.

"Are you afraid that I will give it to others to study and learn the skills secretly?" Su Liu ruthlessly exposed him.

"...Shouldn't I be on guard against you? We agreed to be your subordinate, so please don't push your luck and try to squeeze the blood out of me," Li An crossed his arms across his chest in fear.

Su Liu laughed and said nothing more. Qi Fengling helped her get into the carriage.

After Ji He got on the carriage, Qi Fengling sat in the driver's seat, picked up the reins, and prepared to set off.

Li An suddenly walked forward and knocked on the car window.

Su Liu stuck his head out, and his rugged face suddenly jumped into Li An's eyes. Li An quickly took half a step back.

Even if he looked at it a few more times, Ang Lee could not get used to this kind of ugliness that gave him goosebumps.

"Why are you hiding? What else is going on?" Su Liu was a little surprised.

"Since you are about to leave, why don't you just wash your face here and scare those people with your true appearance?" Li An asked curiously.

"You're even going to take back these ten drops?" Su Liu squeezed the glass bottle tightly. Seeing Li An's unconvinced look, which suggested "you're even more stingy," she continued, "Let's talk about it in a few days. If there's anything fun happening at the manor, remember to have Old Li send a message."

"Don't overdo it. I think it'll keep you entertained for days." Li An thought of something and said, "Old Li, are you really determined to become a vampire? Once you complete your bloodline transformation, there's no regrets."

"He has his own agenda. Just help him transform," Su Liu understood Old Li's thinking. After all, Li An and Dang Xia were both high-ranking vampires. They had no life-or-death conflict with Steward Ji, so it was impossible for them to kill Steward Ji for any reason just to cooperate with Su Liu. But Old Li was different. Steward Ji was responsible for all the evil that Steward Gu had committed. He wanted to avenge his fallen companions, and being a vampire clearly gave him a better chance of success.

In the original book, Liu Weizhen chose to become a vampire, which probably coincides with Lao Li’s current thoughts.

What's more, Manager Ji is also Ji He's enemy, so it would be more ethical for Lao Li to take action than for Ji He to do so.
