"What do you know? This is called freedom of dress!"
Wen Xi said confidently, "Haven't you seen celebrities and fashion bloggers wearing out-of-season clothes? It's just that your taste is not good."
Xiao Shaoyan doubted himself, "I've seen out-of-season outfits, but I've never seen one as out-of-season as you. Aren't you hot wearing a down jacket in the middle of summer?"
“It’s not hot!”
Wen Xi put down her chopsticks, put her hands on the table, and leaned closer to him and asked, "Don't I look good in this outfit?"
Xiao Shaoyan was startled and instinctively wanted to shrink back, but he felt embarrassed, so he forced himself not to move. He stared stiffly at Wen Xi's beautiful face so close to him, and a blush appeared on his face.
He said awkwardly, "It's... pretty good-looking, right?"
"That's it, young man. Don't worry too much about what others think."
Wen Xi snorted lightly, then calmed down and sat back down.
Xiao Shaoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his clear eyes flickering and he picked up a glass of water and drank it uncomfortably.
Boom boom boom!
Someone knocked on the glass. When Wen Xi looked up, he saw Wen Chenxi standing outside the window, staring at Xiao Shaoyan with unfriendly eyes.
"Brother, I'm coming right away."
Wen Xi left after eating, and Xiao Shaoyan followed closely behind.
"Wen Xi, wait for me!"
As he walked, Xiao Shaoyan cried out in pain and squatted down, covering his knees.
"Do you think your legs have fully recovered? Why are you walking so fast? I told you, stop running around with me all the time. You should go back to your room and get some rest."
Wen Xi frowned and turned back. Seeing beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, he squatted down to check on him. He saw the poisonous insect in his knee moving around constantly, sucking his flesh and blood for food. No wonder it hurt so much.
Wen Xi pursed her lips and said, "Since coming to Yunzhou City, your insect has become restless. It must have sensed something."
Xiao Shaoyan's lips turned pale and he took a deep breath. "I'm fine. I can still walk."
"Are you crazy? Do you still want your legs?"
Wen Xi was speechless. "I won't run away. I won't treat your leg anymore. Go back to your room and have a good rest. When your third uncle comes back, I'll go to your Xiao family's project."
"Can…"
"Did my sister not explain it clearly enough?"
A tall figure stood over, and Wen Chenxi looked down at him with a cold look in his eyes.
"The young master of the Xiao family should go back and recuperate his legs. Xiaoxi, let's go."
"I'll be leaving now. See you later."
Wen Xi waved at him and left with Wen Chenxi.
Without noticing, after they left, a figure quietly approached Xiao Shaoyan.
When they arrived at the Special Management Bureau, everyone's eyes lit up when they saw Wen Xi and they greeted her enthusiastically.
"Sister Wen Xi is here? Come and play with us when you have time. I have a lot of snacks here."
"Sister Wen Xi, I heard that you have a ghost warrior by your side. Can you let us meet him if you have the chance?"
"Sister Wen Xi..."
They kept calling Wen Xi "sister", but Wen Chenxi just glanced at them and they shut up and pretended to work.
"Sister Wen Xi, you're here?"
Ke Youlong ran over excitedly, ignoring Wen Chenxi's cold eyes and said, "Captain Ling has woken up and is waiting for you in the room. Oh, by the way, Director Feng is here too."
"OK."
"Sister Wen Xi, everyone knows about your nightmare yesterday. They're all curious about how you control ghosts. We have very few people in our Special Management Bureau who can contract with evil spirits to do things for us, and we don't even have any ghost warriors on staff. If we could form a team of ghost warriors, then we'd..."
"Stop daydreaming here."
Wen Chenxi poured a bucket of cold water on him, "It was this guy Ke Youlong who spread the news that you had ghost soldiers. Now even the higher-ups know about it."
Ke Youlong scratched his head awkwardly, "Isn't it that I was too excited to get out of the nightmare safely? You know, it's the first time that two ghosts and a ghost warrior left the nightmare without any casualties and solved the ghost domain."
"Here we are, let's go in."
Wen Chenxi opened the door and turned back to Ke Youlong and said, "Okay, don't you want to form a ghost team? You can go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep. I'll dream about it."
After saying that, he closed the door. Ke Youlong touched his nose and felt that he had offended Deputy Director Wen somehow.
In the room, Ling Feng was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and Feng Fang was sitting on a chair beside him, peeling an apple for him.
Wen Xi asked, "Captain Ling, are you feeling better?"
Ling Feng opened his eyes and saw Wen Xi, and smiled. "I'm much better now. I'll be able to go on missions again soon. After I came out of the nightmare, I didn't have time to talk to you properly. I still owe you a thank you."
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake."
Wen Xi meant what she said. This time she defeated the nightmare, killed the ghosts of her parents-in-law, and sent the cloak ghost and tens of thousands of dead souls and evil spirits to the underworld. She made a lot of merit from this wave. She hadn't seen the merit box so full for a long time.
Click, click!
Feng Fang peeled the apple and started to eat it.
He looked at Wen Xi with a smile and said, "Wen Xi, I heard that there is a ghost warrior by your side?"
Wen Xi said, "Well, there is one."
"Then do you know that if you're doing business with a ghost, you need to register with the Special Management Bureau?"
“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”
Wen Xi looked at Feng Fang and said bluntly, "Mr. Feng, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."
Feng Fang smiled awkwardly. "You're Chenxi's sister. I naturally trust you. Registration is just a formality. However, the higher-ups have learned about this matter, and they've sent a special commissioner to investigate. He also wants to meet you in person."
Ling Feng quickly said, "Wen Xi, don't worry, it should just be a formality."
Wen Chenxi frowned, "How come I don't know about this?"
Feng Fang said, "If I had told you in advance, with your personality, you would definitely refuse. Protecting your sister comes first."
Wen Chenxi, "..."
"It's okay, we can just meet once. It's not a big deal. But...if he makes any excessive demands, don't blame me for being rude."
Wen Xi smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
She was willing to meet the special envoy entirely to give face to Wen Chenxi.
Soon, the door was opened and a tall, gentle-looking man walked in. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and his sharp eyes immediately locked onto Wen Xi.
"Are you Wen Xi?"
"Well, I'm Wen Xi, Special Envoy Qin."
Wen Xi looked at his face and smiled meaningfully.
Special Envoy Qin suddenly felt a chill on his back and frowned, saying, "It seems Director Feng has already introduced me to you. Then you should know that I rushed to Yunzhou City overnight this time just for that ghost soldier under your command!"
