Bai Ningning slept until she woke up naturally. She opened the curtains and it was already bright outside.
The barrage of comments was like a morning court session, reporting to her what happened last night.
[The paperwork in the underworld is progressing steadily√]
[The Black and White Impermanence were nearly in danger last night. After escaping, they secretly studied at the city library all night. They didn't return to the underworld and are now preparing to investigate other mysterious sects.]
That old bastard Cheng Jingwu got his comeuppance! He's suspected of economic crimes! He's bankrupt and in jail. Xiao Taohua rushed back overnight to cut ties with him.
His twin sons were still out drinking and partying in nightclubs, and when they suddenly learned that their family was bankrupt, they were devastated.
[Serves you right! I don't know which two unlucky guys' admission spots were snatched away. Anyone who ruins the fairness of the college entrance exam deserves death!]
[Feng Huai, the small leader of the Ghost Alliance, challenged Ning Xiaoyanwang in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, Qing Huai ruthlessly confiscated his possessions and crushed them into dust.]
[The Yuan family's father and son parted ways unhappily and are currently in a cold war]
[Underworld Morning News reports for you, thank you for watching, see you next time.]
Bai Ningning finished scanning the comments and fell into deep thought after looking at the last one.
Quite formal?
In the restaurant of the sun room on the top floor, the sunlight shines through the glass-like windows, reflecting colorful and beautiful light balls on the flowers, making them even more sparkling.
Chu Hanzhou and Chu Yuyan sat by the floor-to-ceiling window to enjoy the view. Chu Hanzhou was holding a cup of coffee while Chu Yuyan had a cup of West Lake Longjing tea at hand.
This is a rare moment of leisure in their day.
Not at the end of the workday, but before the start of each day.
Chu Hanzhou observed Chu Yuyan's expression. He was smiling, not his usual smile that hid a dagger behind his face, but a smile that came from the heart.
Chu Hanzhou: "Are you in such a good mood?"
"Yeah." Chu Yuyan smiled and nodded, rarely without a sarcastic tone, "I had a good sleep."
Chu Hanzhou became curious: "Tell me in detail?"
Chu Yuyan smiled lightly, with a malicious mocking tone in his voice: "What a pity, it's a world you can't understand."
Chu Hanzhou: "..."
What blinded him that made him think the other party was easy to talk to today?
Chu Yuyan took a sip from the teacup and said slowly and leisurely, "It's a silent feast and carnival."
He narrowed his narrow fox eyes, not with regret but as if to finish the job: "It's such a pity that you can't see or feel it."
Chu Hanzhou silently took out his phone and sent a message to Bai Ningning: "Can we chat? I'll be waiting for you in the glass greenhouse on the top floor."
The other party replied immediately: "Would you like to have dinner?"
Chu Hanzhou raised his eyebrows and solemnly typed a word: "Please."
Bai Ningning: "Here I come."
Chu Hanzhou smiled with satisfaction, showing the chat window to Chu Yuyan and boasting childishly, "He's so arrogant when he doesn't even have contact information?"
Chu Yuyan: “…”
However, Chu Hanzhou's happiness didn't last more than three minutes. When Bai Ningning arrived, she saw Chu Yuyan the first thing she saw. She greeted him and said, "You're here too? I have something to ask you."
Chu Yuyan raised an eyebrow at Chu Hanzhou and made eye contact: "What's the use of having contact information? They came to find me."
Chu Hanzhou: "..."
Bai Ningning casually sat across from them and asked, "Do you know anything about the underworld?"
Chu Yuyan said seriously: "Although I am in Wangchuan, I know the situation in the underworld very well."
Bai Ningning: "Is there morning news in the underworld?"
"Huh?" Chu Yuyan didn't expect her to ask such a nonsensical question and hesitated for a moment. "Not at the moment. If you're interested, you can set up a news channel."
Bai Ningning said "Oh" and was no longer interested in it.
She knew the barrage was deceiving her.
She set her eyes on the custard buns on the table, which looked soft, sticky, sweet and delicious.
Chu Hanzhou noticed it and pushed it a little towards Bai Ningning, saying, "I ordered this especially for you. It's just out of the pot, be careful of the heat."
Bai Ningning took one without hesitation and prepared to eat it. She said frankly, "Tell me what's the matter. If you're being too attentive without any reason, there must be something wrong."
Chu Hanzhou: "Don't you still believe that we are your brothers?"
[Ningning had actually already decided on this, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the underworld to help out these past few days]
But why don’t you admit it?
There are a lot of non-humans staring at Ningning right now. If Feng Huai were to claim her as his relative now, wouldn't it cause trouble for the eldest and third brothers' normal lives?
[Speaking of which, is Cheng Jingwu's imprisonment related to Big Brother?]
[Of course it's related. Our boss always does good things without leaving his name behind. Besides, the one who made the mistake was someone from his subsidiary.]
[Not only Feng Huai, but Qingwei Mountain is also keeping an eye on Ningning. Ningning herself is not afraid of these troubles, but she is worried about getting her brothers into trouble.]
[But actually, I suspect Ningning is waiting for the Four Seasons Chronicle of the Hell Realm]
Bai Ningning calmly took a bite of the custard bun. The sweet and fragrant milk flavor melted in her mouth, making her feel relaxed.
She didn't know what the "Yanjie Four Seasons Chronicle" was, but judging from the tone of the comments, it was a useful treasure. If she kept refusing to acknowledge it and didn't explain why, someone would offer it to her.
Bai Ningning: "Is there anything else?"
Chu Hanzhou sensed the refusal in her attitude and considerately avoided the question, asking gently, "Are you feeling unwell? I'm worried you might have any sequelae."
"At the moment, I don't feel any discomfort except being tired." Bai Ningning supported her chin with her left hand, holding a custard bun in her right hand, revealing her sleepiness. But the topic suddenly took a sharp turn -
"I want to ask, does being the King of Hell get you paid?"
Chu Hanzhou was stunned by her question. He turned to look at Chu Yuyan, but found that the other party seemed to have a brain crash and his expression control was offline.
Bai Ningning sighed, her expression as dejected as Chu Ze's. "Being the King of Hell is a truly miserable job. There's no pay, it's exhausting, and you have to face a bunch of weird ghosts every day. It's too miserable, isn't it?"
Chu Hanzhou said politely, "Our company is willing to become a sponsor of the underworld and offer you... a salary for the King of Hell. Since this involves overtime work, day and night, and is quite dangerous, the monthly salary will start at 10 million. What do you think?"
"No." Bai Ningning drooped her brows. "You accept human currency for services provided to the human world, and accept ghost currency for services provided to the ghost world. This constitutes bribery."
[Funny, but there are so many twisted logics]
【Adults make choices, take them all!!】
[Can this be rejected?? I don’t understand.]
[Ningning, aren't you short of money now? Big brother is so rich! Ningning, aren't you really tempted?]
【At least I need a little pocket money】
Chu Yuyan asked, "Is there anything you want?"
"No." Bai Ningning wiped her fingers clean with a tissue, lowering her eyes and unable to discern her expression. "So I'm really not interested in these things at all. I advise you to stay away from me and don't meet me in the future."
Bai Ningning threw the tissue into the trash can, got up and left the room.
Chu Hanzhou was stunned for a few seconds, picked up the remaining custard buns on the table, tasted a bite, and asked his brother: "Is it because the custard buns are not delicious? Too sweet? Or not sweet enough?"
Chu Yuyan laughed: "You just said it, it's a dangerous job."
Chu Hanzhou stared at the custard buns with a lonely expression, and sighed for a long time: "Yeah..."
Although Ningning tried her best to appear fierce and cold, her brothers understood her good intentions.
[Wow, what a wonderful family! They are all angels, caring about each other.]
[Actually, Ningning isn't short of money anymore. This silly kid doesn't even bother checking his bank card.]
Bai Ningning: “?”
Who is stupid? Why are there personal attacks in the comments?
She said she was not short of money, most likely because she had received her salary from the variety show.
Bai Ningning hesitated whether to ask Yu Yue to go out for a walk. Before she even reached the door of her room, Chu Xisen stopped her: "Don't go out today. The photos of you shopping in Yuancheng yesterday were posted online."
Bai Ningning was puzzled: "I was just shopping, what's wrong with posting it online?"
Chu Xisen: "A lot of people will know you're in Yuancheng. Maybe they'll check in at the place where you were shopping yesterday, or maybe they'll come here and wait for you... Anyway, it's a bit troublesome."
[Third brother is so embarrassed. He’s not very smart to begin with, and he has to explain things to Ningning who knows nothing at all.]
[What's the difference between explaining and not explaining! Is this how a poor student explains a question? ]
[Alas, this is the trouble with being famous. Wherever you go, people will stare at you, affecting your normal life.]
[It's mainly because San Ge has a lot of fans, which also brought Ning Ning a lot of attention. Maybe a lot of people come to Yuancheng just to see San Ge?]
She seemed to understand what Chu Xisen explained, but she understood it after reading the comments.
If she goes out shopping, it might cause a gathering, and if the ghosts find an opportunity to take advantage of it, it will be all over.
Chu Xisen had a complicated expression and showed her another news release: "Did you have a fight?"
"ah?"
Bai Ningning finally saw the outrageous news headline—
Popular young actress Geng Yiyi shed tears in Yuancheng, bid farewell overnight, suspected of failed audition?
The accompanying picture shows Geng Yiyi fully armed, wearing a mask, hat and sunglasses. I don’t know how the paparazzi recognized it was her.
Chu Xisen: "She didn't even go for an audition. She cried like this and left in the middle of the night. It can't be that she's heartbroken, right?"
Bai Ningning: “…”
It's really a broken heart.
The man she had a crush on for many years didn't even remember her. What could be worse than this?
Bai Ningning stared at the photo for a long time and asked, "She's wrapped up like this, how can you tell she's crying?"
Chu Xisen flipped the picture down and pointed at the bit of skin exposed between the sunglasses and the mask, saying, "Look here, there's a reflection, it's obviously tears."
Bai Ningning: “…”
Yours is obvious, mine is obvious, and they seem different.
Chu Xisen pointed to another picture that was so blurry that only blocks of color remained and said, "Here, the sunglasses have slipped down a little. Can you tell that the eyes are red?"
Bai Ningning: “…”
To be honest, I couldn't even find where my eyes were.
Bai Ningning gave up dwelling on this matter and asked, "So you're worried about her?"
Chu Xisen exploded at the slightest provocation, stiffening his neck and yelling, "Who's worried about her?! I wish she'd never come back!"
Bai Ningning: "Okay, okay, she will be back in two days. Nothing serious has happened, so don't worry."
Chu Xisen left angrily, but came back a few seconds later. He scratched his hair and asked in confusion, "I almost forgot, what are we doing here?"
Bai Ningning waved her hand, asking him to come closer and whispered, "Pack your things. We'll be leaving soon. Be quiet."
"Ah?" Chu Xisen was even more bewildered. "If we're going to leave quietly, shouldn't we leave at night?"
Bai Ningning looked mysterious: "No, it's easy to be discovered at night. The quietness during the day is the quietness."
She said, "I'm going out shopping with Yu Yue. During this time, please find a safe hotel in Yuancheng and move in after we come back. I'll probably be back before dinner, and when we leave, we have to avoid Yu Yue and leave secretly, just the two of us."
Chu Xisen didn’t understand the purpose of changing hotels, but when he heard “only us”, he cheered in his heart - he was indeed the final winner!
Bai Ningning explained: "I need to avoid other people, but I have some things to deal with in Yuancheng. I will leave by car tomorrow."
Chu Xisen patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."
He had just said goodbye to Bai Ningning when he felt that strange sense of being watched again.
Yuan Muyang and Geng Yiyi were not around, so who was watching him? Or had Yuan Muyang secretly returned?
He muttered quietly, "I understand. Ningning is just trying to avoid that pervert Yuan Muyang."
【Hahahahahahaha】
[Hilarious, Yuan Muyang is innocently blamed]
[Mu Yang: People sit at home, and the pot comes from Yuancheng]
[It was all Ningning's fault, and in the end Mu Yang took the blame. How tragic!]
[“Ningning just wanted to avoid that pervert Yuan Muyang”]
[Can Mu Yang reflect on his image in Third Brother's eyes?]
When Bai Ningning saw the barrage of "haha" sounds, she was stunned for a moment, and only came to her senses after observing for a while.
Feng Huai just appeared again, but Chu Xisen used his own logic to shift the blame to Yuan Muyang?
When Bai Ningning went back to her room to pack her things, she pointed at Heidao and said, "Why can't you take care of Feng Huai as well? He's so annoying."
Qing Huai: “…”
You are annoying too.
Don't force it.
Feng Huai remained vigilant and didn't get close at all. He also couldn't get too far away from Bai Ningning and couldn't hit her at all.
After Bai Ningning packed up her things, she took Yu Yue out shopping and bought a lot of things.
Yu Yue: "Why do you suddenly want to buy something?"
Bai Ningning: "I don't think I brought enough clothes."
Yu Yue understood and took her to the largest women's clothing mall in Yuancheng. She took the initiative to introduce it to her: "After buying something, you can have them deliver it directly to the hotel. We can easily go shopping empty-handed. Come and register your address. It's the same as mine before. Just change the room number."
"good."
Seeing that the room number she entered was correct, Yu Yue didn't pay much attention to it. She took out her cell phone and sent a message to someone unknown.
The moment she didn't see, Bai Ningning immediately deleted the number and changed the room number.
The two returned with a full load. Yu Yue noticed that people along the way were holding up their phones to Bai Ningning. She whispered, "Are there a lot of people secretly taking pictures of you? Do you need to control that?"
Bai Ningning said calmly: "It doesn't matter, let them take the photos. It won't affect me."
Yu Yue: "You have such a big heart."
Bai Ningning smiled and said, "I'm tired from shopping, let's go back and take a bath to relax."
Yu Yue also smiled but didn't respond.
She had just received a message from the dean, asking her to keep a closer eye on Bai Ningning.
It seems that everyone in Qingwei Mountain cherishes this little girl who "knows nothing" about metaphysics, and they are afraid that she will be haunted by ghosts when she goes out.
Yu Yue replied after returning to her room: "I spent the day with Uncle Ningning, and nothing unusual happened. I put amulets on her bedside and door."
The other party was concise and replied with an "OK".
An hour later, Yu Yue knocked on the door, wanting to invite her to have dinner together, but no one answered.
Yu Yue thought she was taking a bath and didn't hear it, so he didn't take it seriously. After sending her a message, he went to the restaurant to eat.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the light in Bai Ningning's room had gone out, but the amulet on the door was still intact.
Yu Yue thought that her master uncle was not very strong. They had only been strolling around for an entire afternoon, but she was so tired that she went to bed so early.
At 9:30 in the evening, Yu Yue received a message from Yuan Xiushuo, asking her to take Bai Ningning back to Qingwei Mountain.
Yu Yue said that her uncle had fallen asleep, but Yuan Xiushuo was adamant and insisted that they go back now, and told her that Yuancheng was not safe now.
Yu Yue didn't understand why she was so anxious, but she did as she was told and opened Bai Ningning's hotel room door with the spare room card - the room was empty, no one had left.
Where did she go? Since when was she not in the room?
Yu Yue took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and called Bai Ningning.
The cold female voice of the system sounded in my ears: "The number you dialed is turned off. Please call again later."
Yu Yue knew she had messed up the mission, and with a mournful look on her face, she sent a message to Yuan Xiushuo: "Master Ningning has disappeared."
The other party did not respond for a long time.
The reason was simple: Yuan Xiushuo was so angry that he smashed his phone.
