The place Bai Ningning and Yun Xian agreed to meet was a relatively remote but expensive-looking restaurant. This kind of restaurant had almost no customers in the morning.
Previously, we took Yun Xian’s special physique into consideration and thought that he could not go to crowded places, as he might accidentally bring bad luck to others.
Now I also have to consider my own unlucky constitution, especially staying away from hospitals and other disaster areas that are easily affected.
When choosing a location, try to pick a more prosperous place, which has strong bearing capacity.
Bai Ningning sighed. It’s not easy to be the Little King of Hell. There are so many places you can’t go.
Yun Xian arrived earlier than her. His dark circles were heavier than before, his skin was sickly pale, and his cheeks were sunken, just like a dying patient with advanced cancer.
Seeing him like this, Bai Ningning took a step back and didn't dare to enter the box, for fear that she would accidentally trigger the guiding buff and put an end to him.
[I was caught off guard and startled]
[Yun Xian's symptoms are similar to Sheng Wen's before.]
[It's just a walking skeleton]
Bai Ningning looked at the barrage and suddenly had a new idea.
"Come in, you won't die for the time being." Yun Xian poured himself tea calmly.
"How many days have you not slept?"
Bai Ningning carefully sat down opposite him, deliberately sitting back a little, not wanting to get too close and affect him.
"Not bad." Yun Xian casually handed over the menu. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Bai Ningning had eaten in the morning and was not hungry yet, so she only ordered some drinks and snacks, which was the minimum cost for the private room.
She was always forthright: "I want to know what you and your father are planning."
Yun Xian paused, looked up at her, and sneered, "It's just paving the way for the underworld. Shouldn't the underworld care about the lives of us little minions?"
Bai Ningning found it amusing and laughed, "Indeed, I felt called today and came here to claim my life. Are you happy that the King of Hell is personally saving you?"
Yun Xian was trying to anger her on purpose, but he didn't expect that when she acted like she really didn't care, he got angry instead.
Bai Ningning was calm and collected. She glanced at the countdown for the meal at the door and said, "You can take your time to think about what to say before the meal is served."
Yun Xian fell silent, realizing that his attitude was a bit bad, but he didn't want to apologize.
Bai Ningning calmly drank a sip of tea: "It's normal. Lack of sleep will make you irritable. Don't take it to heart."
Yun Xian gritted his teeth, becoming even angrier, and subconsciously wanted to retort: "Who wants to—"
Bai Ningning interrupted him directly: "Don't be angry first, calm down and think about what you should think about now."
This made Yun Xian feel even more unhappy, as if he had punched cotton. He was already unhappy, and now the cotton actually bounced back onto his face.
Isn't this even more irritating?
"Is this intentional? Do you want to piss people off so they lose their ability to think, and then reveal all your secrets?"
[It’s better to say that being angry will cause Yun Xian’s energy to fluctuate greatly, attracting the fish she wants to catch.]
Oh, Qinghuai will come as expected.
And I also learned a useless piece of trivia: anger will increase one's energy fluctuations.
The same is probably true for ghosts, so the ghosts she saw in the underworld were different colors because of their different levels of obsession.
A moment later, the doorbell rang, and the service light came on. The waiter came in, placed their meal beautifully on the table, and reminded us, "You can order more."
This means that the minimum consumption for the private room has not been reached.
Bai Ningning responded casually, waited for the other party to go out, and closed and locked the door.
She glanced at the food on the table. The sweet ones were all ordered by her, while Yun Xian ordered the stronger ones.
She guessed that it was because of staying up late that her taste buds lost their sensitivity.
Or maybe he needs these things to stay awake right now.
Bai Ningning made sure there were no ears around and asked, "It's time. Have you thought about it?"
Yun Xian didn't look up, staring at his extra strong tea with a conflicted look and a serious expression.
【If you don’t say it now, you won’t be able to say it】
[A jealous king has ten seconds left to reach the battlefield]
It’s not too late to confess now
Bai Ningning took the initiative to poke the window paper and said, "Although you are haunted by evil spirits, it shouldn't be that the evil spirits have sucked away your luck."
"Yes." Yun Xian saw that he couldn't deceive her, and he didn't know how much she knew, so he simply admitted it frankly, "The Yun family needs to show enough sincerity. It's a stepping stone."
"That's not right."
Bai Ningning shook the green juice, and through the juice, she could see a pair of green eyes.
She didn't specify it, but only said, "I advise you to think it over before you speak."
Yun Xian was silent, his eyes struggling.
The doorbell rang again. Yun Xian glanced at the service light. Did Bai Ningning order food again?
Bai Ningning patted his shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully. If you can't figure it out, you can call your father to discuss it."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and opened the door.
Yun Xian looked at the ordering system and found that there were no additional orders.
At the same time, the waiter's voice came from the door: "Miss, here is the cake you ordered."
It was a male voice with a deep but clear voice.
Yun Xian frowned: "We didn't—"
"Okay." Bai Ningning let the waiter in, "Do you want to sing birthday songs?"
Yun Xian didn't understand why Bai Ningning let someone of unknown origin in. There was clearly something fishy going on.
The next second, he saw the birthday cake brought by the waiter. It was a cake that looked like it had been splashed with a basin of blood. He could vaguely see the white base with red liquid still flowing. There were some dots of suspicious red liquid, just like blood splashed on a white wall.
Bai Ningning seemed not to notice the weirdness in this. She smiled and welcomed the waiter in, and even asked him to sing birthday song for her.
After the cake entered the house, the smell of blood and strawberry jam intertwined and filled the entire room.
Yun Xian was stunned and asked Bai Ningning hesitantly: "Is it your birthday today?"
Before Bai Ningning could react, the waiter was already looking at him with murderous eyes.
Bai Ningning smiled and looked at the strange waiter: "It's your birthday today, so it's okay. The birthday cake is here, but where are the candles? No, let's sing the birthday song first."
"I'm sorry, I can't sing."
The waiter rejected her request in a pleasant voice, but took out the candles for her and fixed them on the cake.
Yun Xian: “…”
Isn't the way the waiter looks at him and the way he looks at Bai Ningning so different?
When looking at Bai Ningning, he could hide his murderous intent with eyes that were so gentle that they were sickening.
There is no hiding from him at all.
Did they know each other before?
But this strange waiter clearly wanted to kill Bai Ningning.
Something is not right.
Yun Xian wanted to observe it for a while longer, but he lost his composure the next second - this person lit the candle without a lighter, the flame was a faint blue, it was clearly a ghost fire!
Bai Ningning closed her eyes and clasped her hands together: "Then I'll give you a favor and make a wish."
Yun Xian looked at the creepy bright red cake in front of him, then looked at Bai Ningning who closed her eyes and made a wish seriously, and the strange waiter who was staring at Bai Ningning.
I think this scene is extremely weird.
"I've made my wish." Bai Ningning opened her eyes, as if she couldn't feel anything. "Cut the cake, kind gentleman, will you eat with me?"
Yun Xian wanted to remind her that the cake was not edible, but he opened his mouth, but could not make any sound under the pressure of the waiter.
Bai Ningning cut the first piece of cake and handed it to the waiter, raising her lips: "Mr. Ghost, please tone down your aura. How about we share a piece of cake?"
As she spoke, she moved aside to make a seat for him.
The waiter's expression changed because of her invitation. His face turned dark and his eyes became fierce, but he seemed to be enduring it, with ink swirling in his eyes.
A gust of black wind blew, and the waiter's clothes fell to the ground, and he disappeared along with the piece of cake that Bai Ningning had cut.
"He got angry and ran away again. How stingy." Bai Ningning muttered and cut a piece of cake for herself.
She glanced at Yun Xian and said, "I won't give it to you. I'm the King of Hell, and I'll be fine if I eat it, but you might not."
Yun Xian didn't hear what she said at all. He responded blankly and then realized that his back was wet with sweat.
He also didn't notice that the talisman paper behind him had burned to ashes, and a piece of it fell off with the slightest movement.
Bai Ningning ate a piece and said to herself, "The cooking skills are not bad. I'll take it back and share it with them."
Yun Xian was brought back to his senses by her voice and asked, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your birthday today and didn't prepare a gift for you... Happy birthday."
"I don't have a birthday." Bai Ningning was quite indifferent to the topic, as if she was talking about someone else's business. "I used to be in an orphanage. They might have remembered the day they found me, but it's definitely not my birthday."
And she didn't care about these things, but she remembered days like the Ghost Festival more clearly.
Yun Xian didn't know what to say for a moment. He stared at the blood-colored cake and thought it looked too weird.
Bai Ningning: "Oh, it's strawberry jam. It should be made with fresh strawberries."
Yun Xian: "I just smelled a strong smell of blood..."
"That's probably because he put it out on purpose for you to smell it." Bai Ningning smiled, "He came to play with me, so I didn't tell you in advance. You don't have to pay too much attention to him."
As she spoke, she handed Yun Xian an ordinary stone and said, "Carry it with you during this period. It can save your life."
Yun Xian looked at the stone and fell silent.
He felt as if he had met a charlatan, which was a quite novel feeling.
People in the field of metaphysics are easily mistaken for charlatans by those who don't know the subject. In the past, there were many kind-hearted metaphysical masters who loved to help others and would take the initiative to remind people who had bad luck or were about to die.
Later, too many people were thought to be scammers, so they simply set up a threshold and waited for customers to come to them to give money and ask for help. However, more and more people came to them, and even many people who were not in any danger at all came to ask for a change of fortune.
Humans are really strange.
Back to the present, Yun Xian looked at the ordinary stone and felt that he had run into a swindler.
This stone has no spiritual power and no special markings. Its origin and value cannot be seen.
The next sentence should be: "I'll give you a discount and only charge you 998."
Bai Ningning smiled brightly and said, "I'll give you a discount. You can work for the underworld for ten years to pay off your debt."
Yun Xian: “…”
A scammer, confirmed.
Bai Ningning smiled, as if she saw through him, and said, "So you see, I offered a stepping stone, but your Yun family is not interested at all."
Yun Xian didn't expect her to be fishing here and was stunned.
He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Was that the one you hired just now?"
