Xin Yunmao smiled sarcastically: "You are not my believer, why do you

still call me by my name?" "You are not Voldemort, can't you call me by my name?" Chu Zhishui knew that she was in the wrong, her voice gradually weakened, and she muttered, "...and it wasn't you who asked me to call you last time."

It was clearly him who said in the tea garden that if there was a situation, she should call him.

That's why she likes to solve problems independently, otherwise once she admits the situation, she won't be able to win the argument.

It's a pity that humans cannot possess demonic energy. She did ask Jin Yu about this matter, but the other party was so scared that he kept waving his hands and advised her not to have such an idea. If humans possess demonic energy, they will have to pay a huge price. There must be a positive cycle when humans and monsters get along with each other. It is even more terrifying for humans to control demonic energy.

Birds are born to fly, sea fish are born to swim, and monsters have their own demonic aura. However, humans have used tools and efforts to solve the first two problems, but have not been able to overcome the problem of demonic aura. In other words, the absence of demonic aura is a kind of protection for humans.

Chu Zhishui put on a little makeup today, and her facial features are more delicate than before. Her face is like a misty veil on a cage, and her skin is hazy like jade under the warm light. Her eyes are very bright, revealing stubbornness and unwillingness to accept, but her tone is mixed with a hint of grievance.

Humans can't learn demonic aura, and she is really immoral to say this.

"Forget it, now that I've said it, I won't go back on my word." Xin Yunmao was silent for a moment, he stopped moaning, and took the lead to raise his legs, "Let's go."

"Where to?"

"I'll take you home."

Chu Zhishui was stunned, and blurted out: "No need."

She was politely rejecting Miao Lu, but that didn't mean she wanted him to take her.

Xin Yunmao sneered: "Then you were attacked on the road, and you called me over again. Are you trying to play a trick on me?"

"No, how could I do such a thing? Don't think of people as so dark."

"Then let's go." Xin Yunmao turned around and left her with his back. "You can wear the necklace to ward off evil spirits, but it's useless for transformed people."

"Wait, stop for a moment!" Chu Zhishui hurriedly stopped him. She looked at his clothes and said cautiously, "...Are you sure you want to wear this on the street?"

"Is there any problem?"

The tailored dark blue ancient robe, the upright figure of a jade tree, his long hair tied in a crown, his clothes fluttering, he is indeed dignified and flawless, but why would he unlock his ancient costume skin when he is summoned after work?

She didn't understand but was greatly shocked, especially the long black hair tied up. She even wanted to reach out and touch it to distinguish the real material. She always felt that the quality of the wig was not that good.

Chu Zhishui said tactfully: "The temperament is fine, but the dynasty is a problem."

Yinhai City often sees Hanfu colleagues, but Huaijiang City still looks a little more eye-catching.

"What's that look in your eyes?" Xin Yunmao insisted, "You think it doesn't look good?"

Chu Zhishui had no intention of offending her dressing taste, she clapped her hands and praised soullessly, "Yeah, it looks good, very good-looking."

"Sweet talk." He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and looked at her carefully again, "I was just about to ask, what are you putting on your face?"

Her makeup was very clean, and there was a slight shimmer under the strong light, but you had to look closely to see that her whole face was radiant.

Chu Zhishui said frankly: "It's just makeup, haven't you seen it before?"

"I've never seen you put on makeup." Xin Yunmao was curious, "Why don't you wear it on weekdays?"

"Liquid foundation is very expensive, it's not suitable for the bureau."

"?"

Chu Zhishui was mentally prepared that Xin Yunmao was going to go out in ancient costume, but who knew that he snapped his fingers and was covered by a black fire cage in an instant.

Under the long lamp, the faint cold fire licked the hem of his clothes, and the dark blue robe and the black hair and jade crown disappeared, turning into a pure black windproof jacket and neat short hair. He has clear eyebrows and bright eyes, and his usual modern clothes, the ancient costume is like a mirror, and there is no trace of it.

Chu Zhishui thought to himself, this scene really feels like the little animals in the game changing their costumes in a second.

Xin Yunmao noticed her curious look, frowned seriously and scolded: "You just stared at me while I was changing clothes? Don't you know that you shouldn't look at me inappropriately?"

Chu Zhishui: "?"

She felt wronged and said innocently: "No, you didn't take off your clothes, so I don't need to avoid you."

Xin Yunmao said in a chilling tone: "You seem to regret it?"

"..."

Why is it so difficult to communicate with him properly?

Chu Zhishui wanted to talk to Xin Yunmao calmly, but she always felt that he really deserved to be scolded sometimes. She would frown when provoked, so she simply looked him up and down wantonly, looking at him from head to toe.

Xin Yunmao was suspicious: "What's that look in your eyes?"

"You didn't even take off your clothes, how do I know it's regretful not to see it..." Chu Zhishui's eyes moved fiercely from his face to his body, as if peeping through his coat, and said nonchalantly, "It's more regrettable to see it."

Xin Yunmao was stunned when he heard it, and his Adam's apple moved up and down in shock. He couldn't speak for a while, staring at her in a daze. There was a sparkling light in his eyes, like the shaky moonlight, clear and bright, with a flash of panic.

His lips moved, but he said nothing, as if his arrogance was knocked out by a hammer, and he was at a loss for what to do with the bold words.

Chu Zhishui was waiting for him to counterattack, but who would have thought that the other party was stunned on the spot, and the air suddenly became anxious and restless.

The cool night breeze not only did not ease the stalemate, but also made the atmosphere more charming and ambiguous.

She was completely devastated. He had said many shameless things before, so why did he act so innocent now?

It made her look like she was flirting with a decent male demon!

Chu Zhishui took a deep breath. She wanted to dispel the weird atmosphere, so she took the lead in breaking the deadlock and softened her voice, saying, "Can we be more friendly? Talk normally and get along with each other."

Xin Yunmao's eyes flickered, and he finally came to his senses: "Who do you think is abnormal?"

Of course, you are abnormal.

Chu Zhishui was secretly complaining, but pretended to be fair on the surface: "Neither you nor I are normal."

"What's abnormal?"

"Do you think it's normal for us to communicate like this every day?" Chu Zhishui said righteously, "I want to be your colleague, but you tell me crosstalk."

She didn't mention the usual cross-server chats. If he hadn't been talking nonsense, how could he have provoked her to say something over the line just now?

Xin Yunmao pursed his lips: "You reminded me that I'm not working from 8 to 5 now."

Chu Zhishui was stunned.

"According to what you said before, you should admit that you are my believer." Xin Yunmao raised his eyebrows, "Are all human beings so untrustworthy?"

Chu Zhishui thought to herself, she clearly said that she would be freer in private, but freedom does not mean being a believer. But he raised the issue to the human group in one sentence, and she couldn't go into the words he used before, as it would make human beings look ungenerous.

"Okay, okay, I admit it." Chu Zhishui sighed, "I am a believer, I worship you."

Xin Yunmao heard her admit it for the first time and was stunned: "Really?"

Chu Zhishui had already given up and continued to tell him crosstalk: "Really, of course it's true. The citizens of our socialist country have honesty and friendliness engraved in their bones."

"The worship ceremony requires making a wish." Xin Yunmao said, "What is your wish?"

"I want world peace."

"The wish must have cause and effect karma with you, and the connection must be strong."

Chu Zhishui thought: "Then the health of your parents."

"Are you teasing me on purpose?" Xin Yunmao's face sank slightly, "I said it has something to do with you."

"Doesn't the health of my parents have something to do with me?"

"Only a strong desire out of selfishness can conclude the ceremony, otherwise it will be useless."

Chu Zhishui came to her senses: "Wait, we don't have a ceremony yet, what basis do you have to say that I am your believer?"

Xin Yunmao was dumbfounded.

"Bullying me because I don't understand your rules?"

"I bully you?" Xin Yunmao was so angry that he wanted to rub his temples, and sneered, "If I wanted to bully the weak, would you still be able to see me today? You call my name when you need me, but you don't even have a little respect when you don't need me, and you even refuse to admit that you worship me until now." "

When did I not respect you?" Chu Zhishui had a headache, "And your words are too "Godfather"."

The classic dialogue of "The Godfather" appeared in her mind: "But you don't respect me at all, you don't regard me as a friend, you don't even want to call me Godfather."

"You openly looked down on me, saying that I was not as good as a fish. You clearly called my name, but you ran towards the cat." He showed a mocking look on his face, "Or, Miao Lu said that he would keep a close eye on you, and you are so fearless now that you think you won't need me in the future, and finally you are too lazy to even pretend?"

She was clearly wearing his token, but she ran towards other monsters. Humans are really fickle.

Xin Yunmao's words were filled with unconscious sourness: "You'd better understand that he has some strength, but he is far inferior to me!"

"What a mess?" Chu Zhishui's anger jumped up, "I just mistook him for you. It's hard to see clearly at night. You always like to wear black clothes. It's easy to mistake anyone!"

Xin Yunmao was yelled at, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was extremely surprised.

Chu Zhishui pointed at his pure black coat angrily: "Look, it's still black now, no fashion creativity at all, how dare you blame me!?"

Miao Lu was wearing a black cape, and Xin Yunmao was also wearing a black coat, and it would be dizzy for either of them.

Both of them suddenly started to sneer and glare at each other.

The air froze, and the man and the demon confronted each other, and the time was so long that it seemed like a century.

"You don't like black so much?" After a moment, Xin Yunmao avoided her eyes first. After listening to her angry explanation, the resentment in his chest also disappeared, and he whispered, "Forget it, I'm not this color originally."

He snapped his fingers and changed his clothes in another second, this time to a white coat.

He said softly, "Is this okay?"

Chu Zhishui saw him change his clothes for a sentence and even asked for her opinion. She suddenly suppressed her anger and didn't know what to say.

She just raised her voice because she was disgusted by his sarcasm. It sounded as if she was using him. But whether it was encountering monsters or tea garden business, it was obviously caused by the Huaijiang Observation Bureau. If she was not in the bureau, she would not have to care about these. This scene is too similar to the past. It is obviously for Longzhi Video, but she is slandered as the biggest vested interest.

She has a clear conscience and of course she can't stand his harsh words.

But he gave in again.

Chu Zhishui knows very well that whether people can get along for a long time does not depend on the impression of the first meeting. That is a polite mask pretended by instinct, perfect and fragile. Only when she is pushed to the point of being hoarse, red-faced, and furious, will her true thoughts and ideas be revealed.

When she shows her sarcasm, most of the opposite sex cannot accept it, from Li Longke to Sun Qiao, and fragile men will be embarrassed.

This male monster is just the opposite.

Mingming is usually cold-tempered and doesn't talk much, but when they quarrel, he is surprisingly soft-tempered, and she can't help it.

Xin Yunmao noticed that she didn't speak, and hesitated, "White is not okay?"

"White..." Chu Zhishui's eyes were subtle. She tried to calm down and said hesitantly, "Okay, okay."

"Why do you seem so reluctant?" Xin Yunmao pointed to her pure white tweed jacket, "You are wearing white."

This is why she feels reluctant!

Why does he wear the same color as her on the street?

Monsters probably have no concept of pretending to be a couple. Chu Zhishui was almost driven crazy by his train of thought and said in a good temper: "After all, why do you have to make me your believer?"

"People and monsters must be bound by laws when they get along, otherwise it will break the balance of the world." Xin Yunmao said calmly, "Then give me a reason. If there is no worship relationship, why am I here tonight?"

"Can't it be that you are kind-hearted and help the weak when you see injustice?"

Xin Yunmao said expressionlessly: "In this world, there is only hatred without reason, but no kindness without reason. Everything has a price tag and must be repaid."

"So I threw you a pen, and you put a candy on the table?" Chu Zhishui complained, "Your laws are too fussy. You can be so cautious."

"There are too many people and monsters who are lucky, so Hu Chenrui and his men hold so many barbecues every year."

Chu Zhishui thought of the screams in the observation area, and thought that the arrested monsters must be burned at the stake, and hesitated: "You will be roasted if you make a mistake?"

Xin Yunmao said disdainfully: "Are they worthy of roasting me?"

"..."

Chu Zhishui now roughly understands the monster rules. The difference in the aura and lifespan between humans and monsters is too great. If you get too involved, you will inevitably get into trouble. Some people will ask monsters to realize their wishes, such as getting rich overnight, having a blossoming relationship, and getting promoted in their careers, so they need to sign an agreement or perform a ceremony to exchange something else for what they want.

If it is an equal exchange, the monsters will draw the power of faith from it and improve their own talents and abilities. They will occasionally send their own believers to do things and gain monster energy through various means.

Of course, humans often go to arbitration when signing labor contracts, and agreements between humans and monsters are even more troublesome. It is common for the Observation Bureau to catch monsters.

Chu Zhishui asked humbly: "So, is it okay to ask for my safety or something like that?"

"No, these are just extras, not your selfish desires." Xin Yunmao glanced at her proudly, "They all have different talents, but generally they specialize in one or two things and can't take care of everything. Only I can fulfill your requests. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you."

Chu Zhishui helplessly: "But I don't think your business is too broad. You haven't found any project that excites me after talking for so long."

"Aren't you the one who should reflect on this? I haven't seen anyone as difficult to serve as you in thousands of years."

Chu Zhishui tried to refer to a case and asked, "What wishes have you fulfilled for others before?"

"Don't you remember what I said at all?" Xin Yunmao said, "I clearly said..."

"Oh oh oh, I'm the first!" Seeing that he was unhappy, she suddenly remembered something and comforted him, "I didn't forget. I remember."

Xin Yunmao then stopped talking.

Chu Zhishui faced the petty thousand-year-old monster and felt that it was normal for him to not open for business for so many years. If he had such an attitude, he would have been out of business long ago. She had no intention of getting angry with him, so she just helped him to make peace and negotiated with him, "How about this, I agree to serve you, but I really can't think of the wish you mentioned, so I'll put it aside for now and think of it later."

"If you need me to do something, just tell me directly to avoid breaking the balance. Is that okay?"

To be honest, she had no wish. If she wasn't afraid that the other party would violate the rules, maybe this wouldn't have to happen.

Xin Yunmao paused for a few seconds and said in surprise: "I have never heard of such an offering."

"It's like a recharge card. I'll top up more first and spend it slowly in the future." Chu Zhishui said, "Or we can just count each payment as one. For example, if you come over today, I'll treat you to a meal the next day. We'll give and take each time, and in the end it's still equal." "Take

me out for a meal?" Xin Yunmao recalled the sweet and sour taste, "rice balls?"

"That was an exception. I'll eat good food next time."

Chu Zhishui thought he rejected convenience stores and was planning to find a decent restaurant, but he seemed a little regretful after hearing it. He didn't know what was so memorable about instant rice balls.

The two sides finally reached an agreement on the offering, and continued to work in shifts from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and didn't talk about anything else on the way back.

Once they crossed the long bridge across the river, the community was in sight. The journey was peaceful and tranquil, with only the moonlight accompanying the figures.

In the community, the children who played during the day had already gone home, and the small garden was quiet, with occasional rustling shadows of trees. The buildings were filled with fireworks from thousands of houses, and there was always a lamp waiting for those who returned at night.

"How are you going back?" Chu Zhishui stood at the gate of the community. She took out her mobile phone and opened the software, "Shall I call a taxi for you?"

"I can go directly back to the bureau, just like the one you are wearing." Xin Yunmao raised his chin slightly, indicating the pendant she was wearing. Each teleportation required a specific medium, and he could travel back and forth freely.

Chu Zhishui asked in doubt: "Then every time you finished watering the tea garden, did you not have to take a car, and could actually teleport directly back?"

The man and the demon have been going to the tea garden frequently recently, and she would call him over and then drive back to the bureau.

Xin Yunmao noticed that she was very sensitive. He froze and looked at her again: "What do you mean?"

Chu Zhishui was at a loss: "What do you mean?"

His jawline was tense, and he said in a muffled voice: "You don't think I like riding in the car, do you?"

"No, I thought you were afraid that I would be bored, so you came with me back. I thought you were quite considerate." Chu Zhishui thought about his little experience in riding in the car, and she seemed to understand something. She blinked and said, "So you like riding in the car?" Looking back,

he was restrained the first time he rode in the car. Maybe this was quite new to him, just like when he was a child, he had to eat instant noodles even though there was food at home. It was not nutritious but very happy. She felt that riding in the car was boring, and maybe he found it interesting.

"..."

Xin Yunmao didn't know for a moment whether it was more embarrassing to accompany her back or to like going for a ride. In any case, neither answer would make him look good, so he shut up knowing that he had said something wrong.

Especially when her eyes lit up and she looked at the fish with the same look she usually gave him. To put it nicely, it was pity and full of maternal love, to put it bluntly, it was observing a fool who had never seen the world, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Let's go."

He answered evasively, without even the face to look her in the face, and stepped directly into the dark crack, not daring to stay any longer.

Chu Zhishui saw Xin Yunmao fleeing in a panic. She didn't expect that he had such a contrasting hobby, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
