Those villagers were more terrifying than evil people. They were ignorant and fearless, and most importantly, they didn't realize that they were aiding and abetting evil. They only did what they thought was right.
If such a fragrant and soft little cake were to actually sneak inside, who knows how many people would be watching it, and how much danger it would encounter.
Bai Yi spoke gently yet firmly: "I stand with Yuanman. Whatever she wants to do, I will support her unconditionally."
With a lazy little blade of grass on its head, Zhuangzhuang floated to Nan Yuanman's side: "With me here, I won't let anyone bully Master."
The little grass waved to signal.
Little Red swayed left and right, and finally flew between the two, staying neutral and not standing on either side.
Nan Yuanman was a little disheartened when she heard Zhou Jingchuan support Old Master Nan, but when she saw that everyone else was on her side, she immediately perked up: "Look, look, Zhuangzhuang and the others are all supporting me!"
Grandpa Nan glanced at Zhuangzhuang and Baiyi expressionlessly.
Zhuangzhuang immediately looked up at the sky.
Bai Yi smiled politely, but resolutely did not move her feet.
Nan Yuanman turned around with a "hey!" and grabbed Old Master Nan's hand with all four limbs, using her charm to plead, "Oh, Grandpa, please let me go! I promise I'll protect myself!"
"Besides, I still have you guys! If there's any danger, you can come out and protect me!"
Grandpa Nan couldn't resist his most beloved granddaughter's coquettishness, and immediately softened his attitude: "Just this once."
"Understood!" Nan Yuanman nodded vigorously with a grin.
With Old Master Nan's permission, Nan Yuanman immediately wanted to go find Old Li, but he grabbed him by the collar of fate.
Nan Yuanman: "..."
She turned back with a resentful look, her voice trailing off: "Master—Master!"
"Ahem, not today. You have class tomorrow, and it's already very late. Go to sleep first." Old Master Nan coughed lightly, trying his best to appear serious.
Nan Yuanman pressed his watch and checked the time: 1:00!
Nan Yuanman was shocked: "Oh no! We have to get back right away!"
She remembered that every night after her father finished work, he would come to check on her to see if she had kicked off the covers!
She had to hurry back; if her father found out she wasn't there, then...
Nan Yuanman shuddered, instinctively covering his bottom, and hurriedly used the Ghost Path to return to his small bedroom.
Hmm, she always feels like she's forgotten something?
But who cares? Nothing is more important than keeping my little bottom from getting spanked!
In the alley, Kang Lihui, who had fainted from fright, lay alone. A stray dog passing by suddenly felt the urge to defecate. It approached Kang Lihui, stuck out its rear end, and pooped on his head...
-
Nanmanyuan the dog sneaked out of the ghost realm, looking around the room with a rather shifty eye. When it saw that the lights were still off and the room was exactly as it had been since she left, it breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Yuanman patted her pounding heart and muttered softly, "Thank goodness..."
Before she could finish speaking, the lights were suddenly switched on.
Nanmanyuan: "!!!"
Her body stiffened, her neck rigid, and she slowly turned her head toward the doorway.
Behind the door stood a tall, handsome man dressed in pajamas. He slowly took his hand off the light switch and gave Nan Yuanman a smile.
Nan Yuanman panicked instantly and rushed towards him, crying, "Dad! Let me explain! No! I mean, I can't explain myself!"
"Okay, you explain."
Feng Congqian steadily caught the little cannonball that rushed towards him, and carefully checked her body. Hmm, apart from being a little dirty, she was fine, with no missing limbs.
Nan Yuanman opened her small mouth and choked.
She...she...she doesn't even know where to begin explaining this!
She closed her eyes and readily admitted her mistake: "Dad, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have sneaked out in the middle of the night. I won't do it again!"
Feng Congqian almost laughed at her; this little girl was quick to admit her mistakes.
"Okay, I've received your apology. It's time to take a shower and go to bed. You're all dirty, like a little lump of coal."
Feng Congqian carried her towards the bathroom. Nan Yuanman paused for a moment, her tuft of hair on her head twitching: "Dad, aren't you going to scold me?"
"Why are you being scolded?" Feng Congqian raised an eyebrow. "Do I look like the kind of dictatorial and domineering patriarch?"
Ever since he learned that Nan Yuanman was going to inherit Old Master Nan's coffin shop, Feng Congqian understood that Nan Yuanman was destined to be different from other children.
He has only just begun learning Taoist arts from Xuan Qingzi and has not yet mastered them. He cannot help Nan Yuanman, but he will not hold her back either.
All he could do was silently support her from behind, let her soar and explore freely, and try his best to keep up with her pace so that she wouldn't be so lonely in the future.
Nan Yuanman stared at him blankly for a while, then happily jumped into his arms and nuzzled his neck: "Daddy, you're the best!"
Feng Congqian chuckled: "Now you're talking about Dad. Why were you clinging to your Aunt Qingwan the other day, not even glancing at me?"
Nanmanyuan grinned foolishly, not daring to answer the question that would plunge him into a living hell.
Feng Congqian handed the dirty little dumpling to the nanny to wash her clean, changed her into comfortable pajamas, tucked her into bed, and coaxed her to sleep.
I slept without any dreams.
Nan Yuanman went to school full of energy. Lou Yuqi handed Nan Yuanman some cookies that his mother had baked herself: "Big brother, my mom is back from her business trip! These are cookies she baked herself. They smell so good. Try some."
Nan Yuanman obliged and ate one, her eyes lighting up immediately: "Wow! So delicious!"
It's crispy, fragrant, and sweet, still a little warm, and full of milky flavor.
Lou Yuqi proudly puffed out his little chest: "Isn't it delicious! I'll bring you more tomorrow."
"Oh, by the way, my mom found out I made new friends when she came back this time, and she asked me to bring you a gift!"
As Lou Yuqi spoke, he rummaged through his small backpack, took out a rag doll, and handed it to Nan Yuanman: "Hey, boss, this is for you!"
When Nan Yuanman looked down and saw the rag doll, the little boy almost jumped up from his chair: "This rag doll..."
How come she looks exactly like the porcelain doll she dug out of the ground yesterday!
The only difference is that it has color!
At the same time, in conference room 908.
The team captains are holding their monthly summary meetings.
"This month, the Tian Shu team destroyed a cult stronghold in H City, killing three cult members and rescuing twenty victims..."
"The Kaiyang team destroyed a cult den in City A this month..."
"The Greedy Wolf Team this month..."
The three elderly men sitting at the head of the table listened attentively to their report. One of them, a short, stout man who looked like Maitreya Buddha, chuckled and said, "Not bad, not bad. You've destroyed so many evil sect dens this month. I'm afraid other evil sects won't dare to commit crimes again for a while."
A thin old man dressed in a black Tang suit, slowly turning a sandalwood bead in his hand, looked at Zhong Xueliu and said, "Xueliu, I heard that a genius of the Xuanmen has emerged in the capital recently."
"What's her name? Could we bring her into our 908 team and have her work for us?"
