The atmosphere froze for a moment.
One human, one demon, and just like that, you look at me, and I look at you.
After a long while, a "click" sound was suddenly heard.
Director Zheng hurriedly covered his ears, and the carrot he was carrying slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, rolling several times.
Nan Xian bent down to pick up the carrot, wiped it, handed it to him, raised an eyebrow and smiled, her tone languid: "Director Zheng, you're quite the hidden talent."
Director Zheng was still trying to hide his rabbit ears, stammering, "You, you, I, I..."
Director Zheng is usually a cunning director who uses tricks to prank his guests. This is the first time Nan Xian has ever seen him so nervous, and she couldn't help but laugh. "Who would have thought that the director of 'Unveiling the Ghost Stories' is actually a rabbit spirit!"
Director Zheng's face flushed red instantly, and he quickly covered his face.
With a "whoosh," the hand transformed into a rabbit's paw.
"Oh my!" Nan Xian exclaimed in surprise.
"Whoosh!" Her vision blurred, and when she looked down, there was a gray, lop-eared rabbit standing on the ground, less than knee-high to her, wearing a miniature version of human clothes.
Nan Xian exclaimed, "Hey, what... what's going on?"
Hearing this, the giraffe demon in the queue next to them stretched its head over. Seeing this, it immediately let out a giggle of amusement, "Oh dear, the little rabbit is so embarrassed it's turned back into its original form!"
Upon hearing this, the lop-eared rabbit immediately lowered its hand from its face, put its hands on its hips, and angrily grinned at him with its three-lobed mouth, "Pah! You're not even wearing clothes, you're the one who's ashamed!"
The giraffe demon glanced down at itself, then flicked its tail nonchalantly. "This is called returning to simplicity, the latest trend in the demon realm. You little rabbit don't understand fashion!"
Nan Xian listened to their conversation and was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
These fairies are really interesting.

"So, you yourself don't know exactly what happened, but suddenly you couldn't control yourself and turned back into your original form, and you can't turn back?"
Nan Xian and Director Zheng sat facing each other at a small stone table in the hospital courtyard.
After listening to Director Zheng's explanation, she asked this question.
Having regained most of his human form, Director Zheng has calmed down. He holds a cup of hot cocoa in his fluffy rabbit paws, takes a slow sip, and nods.
Nan Xian glanced at his soft, long ears, her fingers itching to move.
Suppressing the urge to reach out and pet it, she asked again, "I can see the true forms of other demons, so why haven't I been able to see yours?"
Upon hearing this, Director Zheng revealed a slightly smug smile. "This is a unique skill of our rabbit clan, called 'The Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows.' It roughly means that we can put on layers of disguise over our original form. Generally, people with spiritual power can only see through one layer of a demon's disguise, and it becomes difficult to recognize if there are too many disguises."
Nan Xian suddenly realized, "No wonder! You didn't give yourself away once. When I saw you standing in line just now, I almost thought I was hallucinating!"
Director Zheng scratched his head sheepishly.
"Oh, right!" she suddenly remembered something. "I've had a question for a long time. Why did you insist on inviting me to record 'Unveiling Ghost Stories'? Is there some other reason behind it?"
Upon hearing this, Director Zheng was completely—no, his entire body trembled.
"Ah, ah, I didn't mean anything else, it's just, I just think you're quite suitable..." His eyes darted around, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye at all.
Sure enough, something fishy is going on.
Nan Xian raised her lips in a smile, "You're really bad at lying..."
Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over.
She quickly grabbed the cup on the table, and as if sensing something, she looked up at the sky and immediately gasped.
"Holy crap, what's going on?!"
