Chapter 35: Token of Love



"I have a sister! How can I not have a sister!" Chu Xisen couldn't hear what the Black and White Impermanence said, but he could hear what Bai Ningning said, and his reaction was quite intense.

The Black and White Impermanence looked at Bai Ningning in confusion.

Bai Ningning retorted confidently: "If you have a sister, why don't you bring her to the show?"

Ningning must have known about this and was deliberately trying to piss off her brother.

[Could it be testing the ghost messenger? ]

Chu Xisen immediately lost his temper, his voice became much softer, but he was still stubborn: "It's just that we haven't found her yet. My sister must still be alive!"

"I didn't mean to curse her," Bai Ningning explained, waving her hands repeatedly. But then she felt that this form of curse was only making things worse, so she turned to her soul and asked, "Have you seen her?"

[Close at hand]

[No matter how hard you try, you still can't find it]

I curse myself

Chu Xisen avoided his gaze and turned away, but accidentally met Hei Wuchang's eyes through the air.

Hei Wuchang was sweating a little, but he didn't dare to look away. He stared at Chu Xisen blankly and asked Bai Ningning, "Can he see me too?"

Bai Ningning: "He probably can't see it, but it's no coincidence that he can smell you."

Hei Wuchang nodded once again as if to confirm: "Then it really is the Third Young Master."

Bai Wuchang interrupted their pleasantries coldly: "Let's go to Qingwei Mountain."

Bai Ningning stopped them: "Wait, as ghost messengers, you should at least take some responsibility - if you can get rid of the ghosts in the villa and the evil spirits on the mountain, I will have someone lead you to Qingwei Mountain... It doesn't have to be human."

Bai Wuchang stood nearby with an indifferent expression, obviously not wanting to meddle in other people's business.

Hei Wuchang looked at Bai Wuchang, then looked at Bai Ningning with embarrassment, explaining, "We can't be discovered. There's a Xuanmen person pretending to be asleep outside your villa. If we eliminate the evil spirits on the mountain, he'll definitely discover us."

Bai Ningning felt a little desperate: "What's going on? Is the underworld in ruins now?"

Both Black and White Impermanence were standing in front of the teleportation array, ready to leave, but they both stopped because of her words.

Chu Xisen thought the Black and White Impermanence had left, so he sighed and said, "That's normal. The Underworld doesn't have the King of Hell anymore, so he doesn't have the same suppressive power as before. Besides, it's been too long, and the cover-up is almost impossible. Now the ghosts are ready to make a move, and the ghost officials may be powerless."

Bai Ningning glanced at the Black and White Impermanence by the window in shock. Judging from their expressions, she was sure Chu Xisen was right and asked, "Do you know so much?"

Chu Xisen: "My second brother said that it happened several years ago. It may be more serious now. If the underworld collapses, it will be interesting. We have to learn to coexist with ghosts."

Bai Ningning: “?”

What kind of horrific statement is this?

Chu Xisen asked again, "Are the words 'Anything Brings Wealth' and 'Peace Under Heaven' written on their hats? Are there any strange words?"

Bai Ningning nodded: "It's just the eight words from the folk legend, there are no strange words."

As she spoke, Hei Wuchang smiled brightly and waved in the direction of Chu Xisen. The bell on his wrist rang crisply and melodiously as he greeted her.

[Bell!]

[There is a similar one on 11]

[Your bell is fine, the next second is mine]

[The familiar smell he mentioned earlier refers to the peach blossoms downstairs, right?]

Ningning has such keen observation skills, she must have spotted the same bell.

Bai Ningning then added details: "She was wearing a bell bracelet on her wrist. It is said that she came here because she sensed the presence of someone she knew, and so she went in the wrong direction."

Chu Xisen nodded in understanding: "Oh, that's Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu himself. It seems something big has happened, otherwise they wouldn't have been dispatched."

Bai Ningning saw that Bai Wuchang's expression was getting uglier and uglier, so she quickly advised him, "They're about to leave, but they haven't left yet. Take it easy."

Chu Xisen: “…”

Hei Wuchang looked at Bai Wuchang, then at Chu Xisen, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "The Third Young Master may know a little too much."

【Kengge】

You know too much

[It’s so funny, but they don’t dare to do anything to the third brother]

[In fact, if I tell you my intention now, I can save a lot of trouble.]

Xiaobai is so vigilant, he definitely won't let me tell you.

If I had really said that, Ningning would have been killed by the Dark Shark right now.

Bai Ningning looked at the comments and speculated about the scale. After a moment's thought, she got straight to the point and asked, "Since you two know each other, why don't you tell him why you're here? Maybe he'll know. It would save you a lot of time, right?"

Hei Wuchang was stunned for a moment and looked at Bai Wuchang, as if asking for advice.

Bai Wuchang kicked Hei Wuchang into the portal and said coldly, "I hope you two can keep this a secret, and I also hope Third Young Master will be careful with his words."

After he finished speaking, he nodded grimly at Bai Ningning and entered the teleportation array.

Bai Ningning understood what was going on. His reaction was pretty much the same as what the comments in the comments had predicted.

After the teleportation array disappeared, Bai Ningning turned to Chu Xisen and said, "They really left. They seemed a little unhappy and left a message asking you to be careful with your words."

Chu Xisen was careless and didn't take it seriously at all: "Well, Brother Bai said that, right? He's just like that. Wasn't Brother Hei still there trying to stop him?"

Bai Ningning was almost led astray by him: "Brother Hei...Hei Wuchang was kicked out in advance by him."

"Oh...ah?" Chu Xisen was stunned for a moment, "Then how do we deal with the ghost downstairs?"

Bai Ningning: "He said the master outside was conscious and able to take care of himself, but for some reason he didn't come in."

As she spoke, she knocked on the window. The windows here were specially treated so that you couldn't see what was happening outside.

Chu Xisen blinked in confusion: "You actually know why, right?"

Bai Ningning paused for two seconds, ignored him, and continued her own train of thought. She pointed at Yuan Muyang and asked, "Can you carry him? Let's carry him down."

Chu Xisen's attention shifted quickly. He felt that she was questioning his physique, so he showed off his biceps and said with high morale: "Of course I can. You don't know how strong I am!"

Chu Xisen, carrying Yuan Muyang on his back, felt worried as he went downstairs. He asked Bai Ningning, "Do you think this variety show can still be recorded?"

Bai Ningning: "Don't worry, we can finish the recording, but we have to talk about it today."

She thought about it and hung the black knife around Chu Xisen's neck.

"ah?"

Chu Xisen didn't understand what he meant and complained, "Your knife is a bit heavy... You must be quite strong to be able to hold it for so long."

"Really?" Bai Ningning looked at him strangely.

She didn't feel the knife's weight. Could it be that her strength had really increased? Or was she born with supernatural powers and didn't realize it?

Bai Ningning weighed the knife and asked, "Is it heavy? If you think it's too heavy, I'll hold it..."

"No need!" Chu Xisen interrupted anxiously, "This weight is easy to lift."

Bai Ningning reminded: "Okay, be careful later and don't quarrel."

"Okay." Although Chu Xisen was unhappy, he also knew that the situation was urgent and it was not the time to be angry with Geng Yiyi.

Geng Yiyi saw them carrying Yuan Muyang down, and her heart sank to the bottom: "What's going on?"

"I don't know. It was like this when we went there."

Bai Ningning replied, then turned around and sent Chu Xisen away: "Brother, send him to Zhizhi first. Zhizhi is better at taking care of people."

She rarely called Chu Xisen "brother" on her own initiative. Chu Xisen was immediately overjoyed and lost his mind. He strode away with Yuan Muyang on his back: "Don't worry, I will complete the task immediately!"

Geng Yiyi exchanged a glance with her and knew that she had something to say in private, so she silently gave way to Chu Xisen.

After Chu Xisen left, Bai Ningning looked at the microphone on Geng Yiyi's waist.

Geng Yiyi removed the microphone and threw it aside, saying, "Don't worry, I turned it off long ago. There's no way this part will be released."

Bai Ningning's gaze gradually moved up to her neck, then stopped, confirming a guess in her mind, and asked, "Is that a bell hanging around your neck?"

Generally, artists will not wear the same jewelry repeatedly unless it has special meaning.

The pendant on Geng Yiyi's neck looked like a bell. She had just seen the same one on Hei Wuchang's wrist - and there was barrage of comments to prove it.

She recalled carefully that Geng Yiyi often wore this bell, occasionally changing it into a bracelet, brooch, or even a hairpin. She had thought it was a set before, but after seeing the bracelet on Hei Wuchang's hand, she felt that it was most likely the same bell.

Geng Yiyi denied it: "It's just a random ornament."

Bai Ningning nodded nonchalantly: "Really? I just saw one that made a noise, and I thought it was the same."

Geng Yiyi still thought she couldn't see ghosts, so she asked, "Is it Yuan Muyang?"

Bai Ningning didn't answer. She stood on the steps and looked at her calmly: "Why are you with Cheng Jingwu?"

From the moment Bai Ningning mentioned Lingling, Bai Ningning took the initiative in the pace of their conversation.

Geng Yiyi: "Is this important?"

Bai Ningning nodded solemnly: "Important."

Geng Yiyi clenched her fists, then unclenched them, saying in a deep voice, "He's not a good person."

Bai Ningning nodded: "I know, answer my question directly."

She looked down from above, her eyes as calm as an ancient well.

For a moment, Geng Yiyi felt like she was being judged by God.

Geng Yiyi took a deep breath, looked at Bai Ningning, and tentatively confessed, "I'm not human."

"continue."

Geng Yiyi was relieved to see that she had expected this, but also felt unhappy about being deceived. She said sarcastically, "You acted so well that I believed you."

Bai Ningning didn't respond at all, but signaled her to continue with her eyes.

Geng Yiyi's eyes turned and she asked, "So what you saw was... a ghost messenger?"

Bai Ningning: "Don't worry about it, I'm just trying to get some information."

She acted too frankly and openly, leaving Geng Yiyi speechless for a moment, and suddenly she couldn't figure out Bai Ningning's routine.

Maybe she was just pretending to be calm and was really asking questions, but in fact she couldn't see any ghosts.

It is also possible that he can really see ghosts and tells himself frankly that he is just trying to trick people.

No matter which possibility it is, I am speechless and don’t know how to deal with it.

Geng Yiyi felt that the more she thought about it, the more confused she might become, so she just told it all.

She considered her words for a moment before speaking, "Cheng Jingwu joined an organization called the Ghost Alliance. They not only harm ghosts, but also humans. The ghosts his twins raised are also involved. Xuanmen doesn't care about the impact of worldly affairs, so what's wrong with me doing justice for the heavens?"

As she spoke, she kept observing Bai Ningning's expression, but found that the other party had almost no emotional fluctuations, as if everything she had just said was within the other party's expectations.

Seeing that Bai Ningning still didn't intend to speak, Geng Yiyi raised her voice: "The Xuanmen can clearly see the opportunities and sufferings in the human world, but they only care about catching ghosts and don't care about their impact on the mortal world. But I want these..."

She paused again, and restrained her words: "The bad guys got the punishment they deserved."

Bai Ningning: "What else?"

Geng Yiyi's expression changed. She took a half step aside without making a sound. Her eyes became sharper as she said firmly, "You can't see ghosts at all."

Bai Ningning finally showed some reaction. She smiled lightly, revealing her dimples, and admitted it generously and frankly: "Didn't you know it from the beginning?"

When she smiled, her oppressive aura instantly dissipated, as if she was really a harmless little girl.

Geng Yiyi couldn't help but doubt her previous judgment. What had blinded her mind that made her feel that Bai Ningning was hiding something so mysterious before?

The evil ghost downstairs had red eyes and was staring at Bai Ningning with a hideous grin. It had already smelled the fragrance.

If this annoying peach blossom demon retreats one more step, it will immediately rush over and eat this sweet little girl.

It must be very tonic.

Geng Yiyi pointed at the darkness below the stairs and said, "You know what? If I take another step back, you'll become a meal for the evil spirits."

Bai Ningning smiled and said, "Don't lie to me, nothing will happen."

Geng Yiyi moved her feet slightly and stared at Bai Ningning's expression, trying to find clues that could confirm her guess.

Bai Ningning seemed to know nothing, as innocent as a child going on a spring outing. She skipped down the stairs and stood beside Geng Yiyi.

Geng Yiyi was struggling internally. She stepped aside, letting the evil ghost and Bai Ningning face each other, so that she could determine whether Bai Ningning really couldn't see ghosts or was just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

If she pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, then Geng Yiyi will be able to get clues about Hei Wuchang; but otherwise... Bai Ningning will definitely die.

To be fair, Bai Ningning just lied to her and her crime did not deserve the death penalty.

Do you want to take this step back?

Inside the house, Chu Xisen carried Yuan Muyang into the room. Gu Bozhi was the first to come forward and asked, "What happened? Master, are you okay?"

With the help of the Gu brothers, Chu Xisen laid Yuan Muyang on the bed and said, "I don't know. It was already like this when Ningning and I went upstairs."

Gu Bozhi wanted to ask something, but just as he was about to speak, Chu Xisen slapped his forehead and said, "Ningning is still outside. I have to go check on her."

After Chu Xisen finished speaking, he strode out of the room.

"Huh?!" Gu Bozhi widened his eyes, not knowing for a moment whether he should stay and guard Yuan Muyang, or chase out to stop Chu Xisen.

Geng Yiyi told them to stay in the room and not go out, as it was very dangerous to go out now.

Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, Geng Yiyi spoke so seriously that even the usually rebellious twins obeyed her. There must be something terrifying outside.

Gu Yuanfan grabbed his wrist and persuaded him: "Wait here for them to come back, there's nothing we can do."

Gu Bozhi wanted to argue, but Gu Yuanfan interrupted, "Your spirit is already unstable. If you go out, they will be distracted from protecting you. If they follow you, they will be a burden."

Gu Bozhi compromised, lowered his head, drooped his brows, and unconsciously wrinkled the corner of his clothes with his fingers.

At the stairs to the second floor, Geng Yiyi didn't back down after all. She sighed in compromise, "Forget it, I won't argue with kids. Don't lie to me like that next time. I'll really be angry, and..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Bai Ningning who was being arrogant.

Bai Ningning stretched out her hand in front of Geng Yiyi, spread her palm flat, and said with a smile: "Let me see your bell."

Geng Yiyi felt a little depressed and thought that this person was really weird. He was obviously terrified by the slightest movement before, but now he acted as if he was not afraid even if the tip of a knife was roaming around.

Yes, she was too confident.

Do you want to trust her again?

What if she really saw it?

Geng Yiyi felt that she had been bewitched by Bai Ningning, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why she felt deceived by her again and again, but still wanted to listen to her.

She glanced at the evil ghosts ready to move at the bottom of the stairs and thought to herself that if Bai Ningning lied to her, she would push her down to feed the ghosts.

Geng Yiyi took off the necklace bell from her neck and handed it to Bai Ningning. She looked at Bai Ningning warily and reminded her, "This bell is very important to me."

"good."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the bell touched Bai Ningning's hand, it turned into a golden light and drilled into Bai Ningning's palm, making a crisp jingle sound.

[Obtained Item: Love Tokens of Peach Blossom Evil and Black Impermanence]

【Pingci! It’s Pengci! 】

[Did Peach Blossom Demon know that Ningning was very powerful, so he planned to take advantage of her?]

In just a moment, Bai Ningning's eyes were filled with barrages of comments, and she could only grasp the information at a glance.

When Geng Yiyi saw the sudden change, she wanted to catch the bell back immediately, but no one could catch the light.

Bai Ningning's hands were still open, palms facing up, motionless, with nothing on them.

Geng Yiyi was still holding the bell chain. The place on the necklace where the bell should have been hung was empty, and now it was just a plain chain.

Bai Ningning was stunned for a moment, staring at her palm through the barrage of comments. She knew that Lingling had scammed her, but she didn't feel any discomfort or abnormality.

Geng Yiyi was so angry that she bared her fangs and her voice became rough: "Where's the bell?!"

It was the first time that Bai Ningning saw a non-human in the form of a monster. She was slightly surprised and at the same time, she caught a glimpse of her hand trying to grab her. With a strong desire to survive, she pulled her hand back and quickly distanced herself from her.

At this moment, both of them heard the clear sound of bells.

Bai Ningning took another step back, keeping a safe distance from her. After standing still, she asked, "Your bell should be empty and silent, right?"

"What are you doing?!"

Chu Xisen didn't expect to see Geng Yiyi trying to hurt Bai Ningning as soon as he went out. He arrived in time and almost flew in front of Bai Ningning, protecting Bai Ningning behind him. He stared at Geng Yiyi vigilantly and handed the black knife to Bai Ningning for self-defense.

Bai Ningning didn't take it, but pushed it back. She patted Chu Xisen's shoulder and asked, "Can you hear the sound of this bell? I think I accidentally swallowed the token of love between her and Hei Wuchang."

Chu Xisen panicked and turned back to help her vomit: "Why are you eating something so careless? You don't know how many thousands of years it has been there, and you're not afraid of getting a stomachache - did you wash it before eating?"

Bai Ningning pushed his hand away speechlessly: "No, the bell disappears when it touches my palm, and then I shake my left hand and there will be a bell sound, listen."

As she spoke, she placed her left hand next to Chu Xisen's ear and shook it so that he could hear the clear sound of the bell.

Chu Xisen nervously checked her hand: "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Bai Ningning: "No, and I can't feel where it is at all, but I can hear the sound. It's amazing - her bell was clearly silent at the beginning."

Chu Xisen breathed a sigh of relief, and then sternly taught her: "Didn't Xiao Hei say that we can't let others know that he's here?"

"She's fine." Bai Ningning said, looking at Geng Yiyi, "Don't you think so?"

Geng Yiyi hadn't known when she'd retracted her fangs. Her face flushed slightly, her eyes sparkling yet tinged with shyness. "You just said... this is a token of love?"

[Ning Yanwang has spoken! Peach Blossom Evil and Black Impermanence are the official pairing!]

【Those who don’t eat spades can climb now】

[Certified by the King of Hell, obtained from the underworld]

When is the wedding? I'm bringing 200 million in ghost money, and I want to sit at Big Brother's table.

Bai Ningning: “…”

Why does she feel like she's been tricked by the barrage again?

Isn’t this the token of love mentioned in the barrage?
