Li Muhao shouted, and his second brother, Li Muchen, wrapped in a blanket, trembled. Then, he spoke shakily from under the blanket:
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is a ghost here?"
"Brother, you took all my blankets!"
Li Muhao looked angry. He regretted not sleeping with his second brother. At least he could hide under the covers if he slept alone. Thinking of this, Li Muhao angrily kicked his second brother under the covers, then picked up his clothes, got out of bed, and was about to put on his shoes.
"Who kicked me? Was it a ghost? Mu Hao, are you still alive?"
It has to be said that Li Muchen is indeed afraid of ghosts, especially after seeing the Grim Reaper. He knows that there are many ghosts in this world, so he always hides under the covers and dares not show his face.
"You bastard, go to sleep by yourself, I'm leaving!"
Upon hearing Li Muhao say that he was kicked by a ghost, and that he was leaving, Li Muchen hesitated for a moment. After pausing for more than ten seconds, and not hearing Li Muhao's voice or the sound of the door opening, Li Muchen immediately spoke:
"Li Muhao, are you still there? Is there anything ghostly in the house?"
Li Muhao had just put on his shoes when he groaned and got up to walk towards the bedroom door. Hearing Li Muhao's footsteps, Li Muchen hurriedly threw off the covers.
Li Muchen, who had been hiding under the covers, was covered in sweat, his hair was completely soaked. Li Wanning, who was watching the scene from the side of the bed, felt a little sorry for him.
"Don't go, there's a blanket here, wrap it around you."
Li Muchen pointed to a summer blanket under the pillow. When Li Muhao saw the summer blanket, he was speechless. He spread his hands and rolled his eyes at his second brother.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? There was a thinner one available, but you insisted on using the thicker one."
Li Muchen spoke, sounding somewhat aggrieved:
"I just thought that a thicker layer of defense would be more effective. Come back, I won't cover my head anymore."
Li Muchen realized he had been a bit too nervous. It seemed the ghost Xiao Yanbao had mentioned hadn't come looking for him and Li Muhao. He just wondered who the ghost would go looking for tonight.
When Li Muhao heard his second brother, Li Muchen, say that he wouldn't cover his head anymore, he looked at him in surprise, and then tentatively asked:
"Aren't you scared anymore?"
"I was just kidding you! What's there to be afraid of about ghosts? When we have time, I'll show you the most powerful ghost. I heard that it's the Grim Reaper who controls all ghosts and monsters. I met him a few days ago."
Li Muchen had indeed met Jiang Li and even spoken to him, but he was so frightened at the time that he almost fainted.
"Go and close the curtains. Maybe I didn't close them properly before."
Upon hearing this, Li Muhao nodded and walked towards the balcony. At this moment, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. After all, Xiao Yanbao said that the female ghost was the one he had seen before and even had some affection for him, so she definitely wouldn't come to eat him.
"Whoosh!"
As the curtains were drawn shut, a soft voice sounded in Li Muchen's ear.
Are you really not afraid?
"I told you, there's nothing to be afraid of, and you don't need to be afraid either. Besides, that ghost might not necessarily come looking for us. There are so many people in the garden; maybe it's gone to challenge Yanbao to a duel."
Li Muhao pulled back the curtains and turned to look at Li Muchen, who was talking to himself. He glanced around with some concern before speaking:
"Brother, what are you saying?"
Only then did Li Muchen realize that the voice he had just heard did not seem to belong to his third brother, Li Muhao, but rather to a girl. A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his body.
"Hurry up and get on!"
Li Muchen called to his third brother to get into bed quickly, while lifting the blanket to cover himself up. However, he didn't cover himself up completely, but instead left half of his head sticking out to look at Li Muhao, who was walking over with a grin.
"What's wrong? Didn't you just say you wouldn't cover your head? I think you're just a coward, Second Brother. Don't worry, I'll send you a wild Ultraman in a few days, then you won't have to be afraid anymore."
In the few hours since Xiao Yanbao agreed to teach him magic, Li Muhao has already given away several Ultraman. He doesn't know if the wild Ultraman in the M78 Nebula are enough for him to give away as gifts.
"There's a...there's a ghost! Quick, cover yourself!"
Upon hearing his second brother say there was a ghost, Li Muhao felt a chill run down his spine. He then turned around and looked around. Just as he turned back to tell Li Muchen that there was no ghost, Li Muchen trembled all over. Before covering his head with the blanket, he said something very loyal.
"Behind you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Muchen covered himself up and began to call out to Xiao Yanbao in his heart.
Hello, little friend!
Li Wanning knew that the two brothers were not very brave, so she didn't intend to scare them. She just stood two or three meters away from the bed and greeted them with a smile.
Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Li Muhao slowly turned his head and waved his hand gently. When he saw that it was indeed Li Wanning from that day, and that Li Wanning was not scary at all, but rather had a gentle sweetness.
"Hello... Hello!"
Li Muhao swallowed nervously, and only felt a little relieved after seeing that Li Wanning did not make any further moves.
"Beautiful lady, you don't eat people, do you?"
In an effort to please Li Wanning, Li Muhao had already thought of many ways to address her before speaking, but the moment his gaze fell on Li Wanning's face, he immediately changed his address to "elder sister".
Li Wanning found it amusing. Ghosts aren't wild beasts, so how could they eat people? As far as she knew, those vengeful ghosts simply absorbed some yang energy from people, and they couldn't absorb too much, otherwise they would risk their souls being scattered.
As for herself, since she had always lived in the library, she had never absorbed human yang energy and had been accumulating energy mainly through the moonlight at night over the years.
However, in order to test Li Muhao's courage, Li Wanning did not answer directly. Instead, she gave him a meaningful look and her lips curled up slightly.
What do you think?
Li Muhao's heart, which had calmed down a little, started pounding wildly again. He retreated while silently chanting Ultraman's transformation mantra.
Seeing that the two children were already quite frightened tonight, Li Wanning chuckled twice, then waved her hand lightly. Suddenly, the blanket wrapped around Li Muchen flew to Li Wanning's side and slowly landed on the ground.
"Ah! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! The third brother is younger than me, he'll definitely taste better, you eat him first!"
Fortunately, Li Wanning had already set up a barrier in Li Muchen's bedroom, otherwise his screams would have attracted the entire Li family.
