Chapter 12 You are mine, your bed and your home are also my mermaid...
Zhu Huai said, "It seems that the poster of this thread, like Bai An, has also encountered an unforeseen event due to the cursed talisman."
This happened last year, so it's obviously not an isolated incident. There are obviously many such curse symbols.
Behind each curse talisman, there is a corresponding evil spirit.
Ordinary people are almost as weak as children in front of evil spirits, and who can predict whether the amulet they receive contains malicious words?
This is a method that is almost impossible to guard against. Can't ordinary people deal with evil spirits?
Hearing Zhu Huai's doubts, Luo Yingzhuo seemed a little surprised. He thought that Zhu Huai should be aware of these common sense in the industry.
Luo Yingzhuo explained: "Don't you know? Ordinary people's technology is useless against evil spirits."
Only things that contain spiritual power and possess magical powers are the best tools to deal with evil spirits.
The situation that Zhu Huai was worried about did exist, but they had coexisted with evil spirits for countless years, and there were very few people who could practice Taoism, but they were not completely powerless to resist the evil spirits.
Zhu Huai was just an ordinary person before, and Prime Minister Liu was unwilling to let him know these things, so he remained ignorant.
After listening to Luo Yingzhuo's explanation, Zhu Huai finally understood the current situation. Apart from the ghost-catching heavenly masters and Taoist and Buddhist disciples, those who specialize in hunting evil spirits and are almost the mortal enemies of the evil spirits in this world are called Qi Ling.
To some extent, Qi Ling are monsters that are more ferocious than ghosts. They have human form, but their true form is quite terrifying.
The only difference between them and ghosts is that the spirits will protect ordinary people, and the most powerful spirits can become sacrificial gods and receive offerings from the family.
Zhu Huai couldn't help but look at the little mermaid on his shoulder. The mermaid tilted her face to look at him and spit out a small bubble.
It seems that the guy next to him is a real deity.
No wonder the servants of the Liu family were so afraid of him and set up a statue for him, regarding him as the protector of the entire family. It turned out that the real identity of Liu Xiang was the deity believed in by the family.
"With the existence of the gods and the spirit contracts, those demons and monsters are suppressed in the dark, and those evil spirits that escape from the ghost den are the responsibility of us, the heavenly masters, to exterminate them."
Luo Yingzhuo's words were more like an official tone. In fact, he didn't know the secret in it, but he didn't dare to say anything more. After all, there was a spirit Qi standing next to Zhu Huai, and he didn't dare to lose his life because of his hasty words.
After all, those vicious spirits are, to some extent, more terrifying than ghosts.
"If that's the case, then what are adopted sons and adopted wives?"
Zhu Huai finally asked the question in his heart. He had been puzzled ever since Yin Quan called him his contracted wife and said that he and Liu Xiang were a perfect match made in heaven.
But as soon as this question was asked, Luo Yingzhuo seemed to be stumped, his mouth was so sticky that it seemed impossible to open it.
"As for adopted sons and adopted wives, this..." Luo Yingzhuo gave a bitter laugh. He said, "I've traveled extensively for so many years, but I've never encountered those legendary adopted masters, let alone the intricacies of this matter. Little brother, please don't embarrass me."
Zhu Huai sighed and said, "Okay."
At this moment, the little mermaid on Zhu Huai's shoulder suddenly spoke. His voice was as sweet as a sheng, with a hint of moisture. Every word was like a jumping syllable that jumped into Zhu Huai's ears with a laugh.
He smiled and said, "A foster child is someone who can sign a contract with the foster master to bear children for the foster master. They are the foster master's companion."
He slowly approached Zhu Huai, and the wet and sticky touch flashed past his ear: "And the pledged wife is the most powerful pledged son, and the wife of the god. Zhu Huai, you are my wife."
Zhu Huai turned his head and saw the little mermaid holding up her little face and smiling happily at him, as if she was holding a piece of candy, with her fish tail bouncing and looking a little naughty.
Zhu Huai said, "Who is your wife?"
He stretched out his finger and tapped the mermaid's forehead lightly.
Liu Xiang snorted coldly and said, "You refuse to admit it?"
The merman narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in them: "You can't deny it, you are my wife, and I will call you that."
"Why are you acting like a rogue?"
Zhu Huai whispered. Only they could hear the communication between the two of them. Ordinary people, not even Liu Xiang, could not see it.
Luo Yingzhuo, on the other hand, watched Zhu Huai's heart and nose. When Zhu Huai raised his head again, Luo Yingzhuo seemed to remember something and said, "Since Miss Ji's matter has been dealt with, I have other things to do, so I will leave first."
After saying that, Luo Yingzhuo immediately ran away. Maybe he really had something important to do.
Only after walking out of the hospital did Luo Yingzhuo breathe a sigh of relief.
The phone rang, and Luo Yingzhuo picked up the phone. A voice came over: "Master, this time you will definitely be able to capture the ghost easily, right? I heard that Boss Ji paid over two million to invite you here. Is the evil spirit this time very fierce?"
"Yes, I finally escaped from the gates of hell this time." Luo Yingzhuo shook his head, his tone full of relief.
The apprentice on the other end of the phone was a little frightened. He said cautiously, "So fierce? Master, are you okay now? If you die, what should we do?"
"It's said that trouble comes from the mouth. Why do you curse your master to death every day? You little bastard, you're going to piss me off to death!" Luo Yingzhuo cursed into the phone.
Seeing him so full of energy, his disciples felt relieved, and after calming down, he uttered two words: "Qi Ling."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Luo Yingzhuo seemed to have anticipated this. He hung up the phone and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Luo Yingzhuo stood outside the house and took a last look inside the door. This look made him break out in a cold sweat and his back quickly felt cold.
In the room at the end of the passage, the area where Zhu Huai was located was completely shrouded in a thick black fog. A figure more than three meters tall, with a fish tail and a human body, and black hair spread on the ground was standing beside him.
From beginning to end, this horrible monster kept its head low, put its head close to the side of its adopted wife, smiled gently at him, and from time to time stretched out its black forked tongue to lick Zhu Huai's eyes and ears, making that jade-white skin wet.
In Luo Yingzhuo's eyes, the figure was mostly shrouded in black mist. He could only see that the sides of the figure's ears and face seemed to be covered with fine scales. He was staring at Zhu Huai as if no one was around, and said something to him intimately...
As if sensing the little bug's prying eyes, the figure slowly turned his head. Before the sight caught his figure, Luo Yingzhuo ran out without looking back, never daring to look back again.
Zhu Huai said, "How come Master Luo walked so fast? I turned around and couldn't see him anymore."
Yin Quan combed his soft fur, and seemed to be very concerned about whether his scales had fallen off. Yin Quan said, "Maybe he is really busy and is in a hurry to go home for dinner."
In its eyes, eating is a very important thing.
What he said does make some sense. Speaking of eating, Zhu Huai was indeed a little hungry after being busy for so long.
He originally wanted to find a noodle shop nearby to have a meal. The most popular business on this street was that of noodle shops. As it was getting close to mealtime, the street was filled with the aroma of beef noodles. The steaming aroma of noodles was very attractive.
Father Ji saw this. He certainly knew how rare and powerful a Heavenly Master like Zhu Huai was, not to mention that Zhu Huai was so young. Unless he was an old monster with the ability to maintain his youthful appearance, a Heavenly Master as young as this one was not common.
As a businessman, it was naturally impossible for him to let go of the noble man in front of him, so Ji's father enthusiastically invited Zhu Huai to dinner, and the excuse he gave was that Zhu Huai helped his daughter to exorcise ghosts, and he wanted to thank him properly.
As a veteran in the business world, Ji's father was so warm and welcoming that it was almost impossible to refuse. Even Luo Yingzhuo, who had just been in a hurry to run away, was paid off his deposit by Ji's father. No wonder he was able to invite such a master so quickly.
After much persuasion from Ji's father, Zhu Huai finally spoke: "Okay, but the others should be hungry too, let's all come together."
During the conversation, Ji's father had been observing Zhu Huai's face. He certainly recognized that Zhu Huai looked very similar to Gu Yuguang, but Gu Yuguang had never had such a younger brother, so Ji's father was smart enough not to say anything about it.
The restaurant had a nice environment. A table of people gathered together, and all the members of Zhuzhe Team were sitting here. When Zhu Huai came over, he saw that everyone else had tacitly given up their seats.
He clearly had a very young face, but inexplicably he looked out of tune with the others, as if he had suddenly become a special existence in everyone's eyes. Zhu Huai was not used to this situation, so he started to eat and the others followed suit and started chatting.
The crispy pigeon skin made in this shop is as smooth as glass and will not become soft even after being left for a long time. The meat is soft, tough and chewy. Even the bones at the tips of the wings are roasted crispy, so you can chew them up and swallow them in one bite.
The fairy chicken is so soft and boneless that even the skin melts in your mouth along with the sauce. Zhu Huai inherited his cooking skills from Zhu Mo, and even surpassed him. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients with just one bite.
The squirrel fish was even more delicious. At least everyone else was busy eating it. Zhuzhe's eyes lit up and he picked up a pig's trotter and started to eat it. Father Ji looked at this scene and thought about something.
Zhu Zhe said, "Brother, why don't you eat it? This pig's trotter is better than my dad's."
Zhu Huai said, "Indeed, if Lao Mo were to come here, he wouldn't be able to produce something of this quality."
The content of the two people's conversation attracted the attention of Ji's father. He asked, "Your father's cooking skills are not bad. The chef we hired here is the best master in the area. I believe he must be a father who knows a lot about food."
Zhu Huai smiled, put down his chopsticks and said to Ji's father: "My father is a chef. His cooking is also very good. I learned cooking skills from him."
A chef? Father Ji's ears twitched. He pondered Zhu Huai's background and family background. Could the son of a chef become a Heavenly Master?
He originally thought that Zhu Huai must be a disciple of a certain family, but he didn't expect that he would have such a background. However, Zhu Huai did not intend to hide this fact.
Halfway through the meal, Zhu Huai seemed to remember something. He looked over his shoulder, as if there was something there, and suddenly said to the air, "Are you hungry?"
"By the way, I remember you like to eat raw meat."
Zhu Huai continued, as if talking to himself. Liu Xiang looked up at him with his little face raised. Zhu Huai certainly knew what Liu Xiang liked to eat.
When he first came into contact with Liu Xiang in his previous life, he had always been taking care of him.
Liu Xiang likes to eat raw meat. If the scene was not too bloody, Zhu Huai would even suspect that Liu Xiang prefers to eat raw living things. He does not like to eat human food, but after Zhu Huai cooks for him, he is willing to eat what Zhu Huai cooks.
Zhu Huai was not sure whether Liu Xiang was willing to eat human food now. He did not want Liu Xiang to be hungry while he was eating.
Zhu Huai ordered a portion of raw meat. While the waiter was puzzled, Zhu Huai picked up the shredded meat, then lifted it up and handed it to something, watching Liu Xiang open his mouth and chew the meat bit by bit.
His mouth was bulging as he chewed, and his eating manners were not ugly, even a bit elegant. Zhu Huai couldn't help pinching his face when he saw this scene. He turned around, but saw that everyone else had silently stopped what they were doing, but no one dared to look in Zhu Huai's direction.
"Sorry, don't worry about me, I just thought he was hungry." Zhu Huai explained: "He doesn't eat people."
Silence, eerie silence.
Zhuzhe scratched his neck. He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the pig's trotter in front of him and continued eating.
Anyway, Zhu Huai is his brother, so what? He is his brother, how could Zhu Huai harm him? Don't worry about those things, just eat when someone treats you.
Father Ji coughed dryly and said, "Master Zhu, I want to ask a question. Is this one you're raising... one of those things?"
"Of course not." Zhu Huai then realized that they had misunderstood. He smiled and said, "To some extent, he is the mortal enemy of the evil spirits. With him around, no evil spirits can get close to this place."
"Is that so?"
After these words were spoken, the others who had been listening with pricked up their ears finally breathed a sigh of relief. They really didn't want to see anything related to evil spirits.
But what they don’t know is that the evil ghost’s mortal enemy is probably an even more terrifying monster.
"However, you still have to be careful. Although I have eliminated this evil spirit, these curse symbols still exist.
If you see similar talismans in the future, you must immediately dispose of them and burn them. You must never touch them lightly."
Zhu Huai reminded him that the value of this sentence alone was enough for Ji's father to go to great lengths to please him. After dinner, Zhu Huai took Zhu Zhe away. No matter how Ji's father asked in an indirect way, Zhu Huai did not leave any contact information.
"Seeing me is like seeing those things all over again." Zhu Huai said jokingly: "Do you really want to see ghosts every day?"
"Of course I know that inviting a Heavenly Master requires a high fee, but I just want to have some protection when I encounter problems, like this time... Even if I spend millions to invite Master Luo, I still want my daughter to be safe." Father Ji said with a wry smile.
"Several million?" Zhu Huai was silent. He suddenly sighed softly, "It's less."
"What did the masters say?" Ji's father didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing, bye."
Zhu Huai turned around and strode away. He thought about Master Luo's millions and his own hundreds of thousands. In an instant, Zhu Huai took a deep breath.
His piece of jade cost 50,000 yuan, which means that the remaining reward for Zhu Huai this time was only 100,000 yuan.
He took Zhu Zhe home. Zhu Zhe, who hadn't had a good rest for several days, immediately lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Zhu Huai held the little mermaid in his arms and looked into its golden eyes. "How did you find me? Now that you're here, don't rush to leave. Stay here for now."
The little mermaid sat in Zhu Huai's palm, its obsidian-like scales reflecting a luxurious and deep light. He looked at Zhu Huai, suddenly opened his mouth, and bit the finger stretched in front of him.
Zhu Huai seemed to be bitten by something cold and couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried. He pulled his hand back, but saw a circle of fine teeth marks on his fingers. They didn't look like the marks left by humans, but more like the marks left by some deep-sea predator.
"Bad guy." Zhu Huai pointed at the marks and said, "Why are you so bad?"
The little mermaid licked his lips, and the smile on his face was a scarlet smile that belonged to a top predator looking at his beloved prey.
Zhu Huai was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch the little mermaid flying in the air, wagging its tail proudly, and patrolling the room as if it was inspecting its own territory.
After feeling the scent of her partner filling this simple and narrow nest, the merman, though somewhat dissatisfied with the size of the territory, still sat on Zhu Huai's bed and said to him, "I like this place. Now it's mine."
Zhu Huai, whose property was occupied by the mermaid as soon as he returned home: "..."
Zhu Huai: "No, this is my home."
He emphasized my two words.
"You are mine." The little mermaid pointed at Zhu Huai, and the smile on his face widened, with a faint sharp arc visible: "So this place is mine too."
Zhu Huai: “…………”
Zhu Huai: "You go sleep on the sofa tonight."
The little mermaid looked at him dissatisfiedly, turned around at him with its fangs and claws bared, and then fell back onto the bed. What a little bastard who occupied the bed, his quilt, and his pillow!
Zhu Huai had no choice but to go to bed after washing up. He felt a cold object squeezed into the quilt and pressed hard against his skin.
He felt a familiar sense of sleepiness, just like when he slept in the Liu family's ancestral home and slept next to Liu Xiang. Wrapped in that fresh fragrance, he felt an indescribable sense of security.
Even though the one sleeping next to him is the most terrifying monster in some way, he is still safe when wrapped in such pure darkness, because nothing else can disturb him.
"Go to sleep." Someone held him in his arms and gently kissed his forehead: "Those things may come to retaliate against you, but don't worry, I'm here."
These few short words brought him an endless sense of security. Zhu Huai closed his eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep.
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Liu Xiang: You are mine, and all your things are mine (occupy the bed) (occupy the house) (occupy Zhu Huai)
Zhu Huai: How can this be so bad? What should I do? [Cracks open]
Liu Xiang: (rushes into Zhu Huai's house and seizes everything like a robber) The bed is mine, the pillow is mine, the room is mine
Zhu Huai: No
Liu Xiang: (his eyes light up [starry eyes]) She is so cute, she is mine too (grab her away)
Zhu Huai: Let me go, ahhhhhhh
