The little dumpling, who was half asleep, heard a scream coming from downstairs. He jumped out of bed, grabbed his small handbag from the bedside table, and rushed outside.
"Third brother! Don't be afraid! I'm here!"
Startled, Feng Langqing instinctively ran upstairs. He heard a thud and saw a little dumpling jump down from upstairs, landing with a thud in front of him.
Gao Yibei was shocked that someone other than Nan Yuanman could see him, and he was so frightened that he looked embarrassed on his mangled and bloodied face: "I'm... I'm sorry."
He hurriedly stood up from the sofa: "I didn't mean to scare you, I..."
As soon as Gao Yibei spoke, Nan Yuanman recognized him immediately, her eyes widening instantly: "My God! Uncle, how did you get yourself into this state? You've used up so much of your ghost power that you can't even maintain a normal human form anymore."
Although the uncle yesterday also expended a lot of his ghostly power, he was still able to maintain his appearance from when he was alive.
Only one night had passed, and his ghostly power was almost completely depleted. If he used up any more, she wouldn't have to send him to the underworld; he would simply vanish into nothingness.
"I... used a little trick to allow Sheng Sheng to live a normal life, which consumed a huge amount of ghostly power..."
Gao Yibei pursed his lips, and bits of flesh on his face fell off with his movements, disappearing quickly after hitting the ground.
This inhuman scene made Feng Langqing's sanity drop drastically. He couldn't help but turn his head to the side to avoid looking at him, and even pulled Nan Yuanman's head to the side as well.
Nan Yuanman felt it was impolite not to look at people directly, so he turned his head back and looked at Gao Yibei, who looked like he could be about to be annihilated at any moment. He took out a Yin-gathering talisman and said, "You should use this talisman to recover first. Once your condition is more stable, I will send you to the underworld."
Gao Yibei bowed slightly to Nan Yuanmei gratefully, saying, "Thank you."
Without saying anything more, he transformed into a streak of dark light and entered the Yin-gathering talisman in Nan Yuanman's hand.
Once the gruesome ghost disappeared, Feng Langqing let out a soft breath, turned his head, and gently rubbed the little bundle of fur's head in front of him, absorbing the warmth from her body, and asked her, "That ghost just now...did you know it?"
"Yes, we met last night when I was performing rituals!" Nan Yuanman carefully put away the Yin-gathering talisman, her body swaying from side to side with Feng Langqing's force.
Feng Langqing understood immediately. No wonder he dared to show up so early in the morning and sit so casually on the living room sofa.
"Let's go! Since you're already up, go exercise with your third brother and then have breakfast!" Feng Langqing had originally planned to get up, have breakfast, and then go back to sleep.
Startled by Gao Yibei's words, he couldn't fall asleep, so he simply picked up the little dumpling who was standing next to his calf and yawning, and took him out for exercise.
He absolutely refused to admit that he was so scared that he was temporarily afraid to be alone.
Nan Yuanman, who had intended to refuse, swallowed back her words when she saw Feng Langqing's deathly pale face.
Nan Yuanman leaned on his broad shoulder and sighed like a little adult. She really was the best little sister in the world.
After a whole night of fussing, when Nan Yuanman and Feng Langqing returned from outside covered in sweat, Feng Congqian and Feng Yuli had also woken up. The family was sitting neatly around the dining table, waiting for breakfast.
Feng Congqian was reading the newspaper when he heard the noise at the door. He looked up and saw Nan Yuanman, who was radiating warmth, walking in from outside. He got up, took her hand, led her to sit on the sofa, handed her a glass of warm water, and wiped the sweat off her face with a damp towel, asking, "Why did you get up so early today?"
"Sanguo saw the ghost uncle from last night! He was so scared that he called my name, and I ran down to protect him when I heard his voice." Nan Yuanman said, his little face distorted from being wiped, his words slurred.
"Did Feng Langqing call your name? I didn't hear it," Feng Jingcheng asked, puzzled.
The soundproofing materials used in the manor are all top-of-the-line, so even if you play music all night in the living room, Feng Jingcheng in his room won't hear a thing.
However, Nan Yuanman's body had been strengthened by both merit and the power of the dragon vein, making her hearing extremely acute. Feng Langqing's scream sounded just like it was coming from her room.
Nan Yuanman tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Hmm...maybe it's because I'm young and have better hearing?"
Feng Jingcheng: "?"
Feng Jingcheng laughed in exasperation: "So you're implying that I'm old and have poor hearing?"
Nan Yuanman looked completely innocent: "Sixth brother, you've wronged me, but if that's what you think, there's nothing I can do about it."
These scumbag remarks happened to fall on Feng Yuli, who had just taken a sip of warm water. He paused slightly and said with a hint of helplessness, "Yuanman, watch less of those messy short dramas in the future."
Nanmanyuan: "Aww~"
Feng Congqian wiped the wet little dumpling clean, and then asked Nan Yuanman to change into a clean set of clothes before sitting down at the table to start eating breakfast.
After exercising all morning, the little dumpling was already hungry. She ate a steamed bun and a sip of soy milk with great relish, her cheeks bulging. Feng Jingcheng couldn't resist poking her.
Nan Yuanman had just taken a sip of soy milk when he poked her, and she couldn't hold it in and spat it out.
Feng Congqian, who was sitting opposite Nanmanyuan and was caught in the crossfire, was speechless.
He slowly and deliberately picked up a wet tissue, wiping the soy milk off his face with a deliberate and elegant motion, casting a death stare at Feng Langqing.
Nan Yuanman glared angrily at Feng Langqing: "Third Brother!!"
Feng Langqing gave an embarrassed smile and quickly grabbed some tissues to wipe her mouth and the messy table: "Sorry, sorry, Third Brother couldn't help himself..."
Feng Yuli stuffed a custard bun into the little dumpling's mouth, which looked resentful, and said in a gentle voice, "Dad, I think the third son has been idle at home for too long. I guess he doesn't want to stay in the entertainment industry anymore. It's time to let him get involved in company affairs, so he won't always be causing trouble."
Feng Langqing's eyes widened, and he was about to speak when Feng Congqian interrupted him: "Okay."
Feng Langqing: "?"
He quickly said, "No! That won't do! I'm not cut out for serious work! Tomorrow! I'll start tomorrow!"
He doesn't like staying in one place for long periods of time. If you make him sit in the office all day long and deal with those obscure documents, you might as well just kill him!
Feng Xingchi chuckled dismissively and asked Nan Yuanman, "Yuanman, where do you want to go for summer vacation? How about going to the US with your second brother?"
Nan Yuanman's kindergarten starts summer vacation on July 30th. Other children will go on trips after summer vacation, and his younger sister will also be going.
“M country won’t do. M country is chaotic and dangerous now, not suitable for children.” Feng Yanxiu, who hadn’t said much all morning, suddenly spoke up. His gaze fell on Nan Yuanman. He hesitated for two seconds before saying, “You can come to H city with me.”
He added, "H City has the largest amusement park in the country, which kids love to go to."
Feng Yuli, whose workplace was extremely dangerous: "..."
Workaholic Feng Zining: "..."
Feng Jingcheng hesitated, wanting to speak but ultimately remained silent. The fun places he knew were all for adults…
Feng Langqing retorted, "Then Yuanman can come and film with me! The places I film in are much more fun!"
Feng Xingchi's brows twitched slightly as he looked at the little dumpling who was diligently eating: "So, Yuanman, where do you want to go?"
