Li Muchen, whose dignity had been completely trampled on, immediately slumped his head, looking utterly dejected.
He should have listened to his third brother's advice and rushed home before eight o'clock.
That way, he might not have been entangled by that filthy thing, and he wouldn't be in this situation now.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
"Second brother, it's getting late, we should go home."
Xiao Xinyan did not use the "wetting her pants" incident to mock Li Muchen and retaliate for his various attacks on her during this period.
Although the little girl is only three and a half years old, she has a grand vision in her heart, her eyes reveal the vastness of the world, and she is very generous.
He's at least much better than that second-in-command.
Because she rushed to save Li Muchen the moment she sensed he was in danger, she forgot to inform the rest of the Li family.
Even the Grim Reaper was summoned by the little girl halfway through the journey, and it was with the Grim Reaper's help that she was able to teleport to Li Muchen's side.
At that moment, Xiao Yanbao truly witnessed the power of Death.
So it turns out Uncle Death wasn't exaggerating!
"go home?"
Li Muchen frowned, his eyes flashing as he asked, "Continue walking home at night?"
Although he didn't want to admit it at all, he was really scared.
On the fifteenth of the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell open.
Previously, Li Muchen did not believe in ghosts at all, but now he believes them completely.
He was genuinely afraid of being entangled by some evil spirit on the way back, so he unconsciously clenched each finger, pursed his lips, and hesitated.
Xiao Xinyan noticed something and quickly and obediently said, "If Second Brother doesn't want to walk at night, we can call home and ask our parents to come and pick us up."
As she spoke, Xiao Xinyan raised her wrist, revealing her smartwatch, and prepared to call the Li family manor.
Li Muchen quickly spoke up to stop her.
"...Let's just forget about it..."
He didn't want to alarm the entire Li family manor. If they knew he had almost been scared half to death by a ghost today, he would definitely be ridiculed, especially by his brothers.
Li Muchen could already imagine what kind of faces they would have.
She didn't want her family to come pick her up, but she was afraid to walk home at night.
This second older brother is a bit difficult to deal with~
Left with no other choice, Xiao Xinyan turned her little head to look at the Grim Reaper standing to the side, who was covered in black, and asked in her childish voice:
"Uncle, can you take us home?"
Upon hearing this, Death was visibly taken aback, and asked incredulously, "Me?! Take you home?!"
"Mmm..."
The little boy nodded vigorously, his eyes crinkling slightly, and began to shower Death with compliments:
"Yanyan knows, Uncle is the best!"
The Grim Reaper chuckled on the spot, "Little brat, you really think of me as your babysitter? I'm a dignified..."
He couldn't help but want to reveal his name again, but fearing that his second brother would be frightened if he heard it, Xiao Xinyan interrupted the Grim Reaper once more.
"Uncle, if you take us home, Yan Yan will treat you to my mom's honey cakes! They're super delicious!"
The little voice was sweet and soft, seemingly full of temptation.
Honey cupcakes...
That sounds really good.
The Grim Reaper murmured, recalling a time when he accompanied the previous King of the Underworld on a tour and ate a honey cake specially offered by a believer.
That sweet and soft taste is still unforgettable for Lord Death.
His Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably, as if he had swallowed, successfully succumbing to temptation.
"This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time!"
The Grim Reaper gave a haughty snort, then turned and strode forward.
"Second brother, with this uncle taking us home, we'll definitely get home safely!"
Xiao Xinyan turned her little head and said something to Li Muchen. Her face was filled with a pure and innocent smile, and the two dimples at the corners of her lips seemed to be filled with honey, sweet and delightful.
Li Muchen's eyes flickered uncontrollably again, and he quickly looked away, changing the subject:
"Who exactly is he?"
He looked up at the Grim Reaper walking not far ahead of them.
Even at night, the air is still humid and stuffy in the sweltering summer heat.
The dark figure in front of them was covered by an extremely large black cloak.
Strange and unusual outfits.
If he weren't truly skilled, Li Muchen would have suspected he was just cosplaying.
Moreover, his attire looked very familiar, like the Grim Reaper from various movies and TV shows, except he lacked a giant scythe for reaping souls.
The reason why the Grim Reaper wasn't carrying his signature weapon was because Xiao Xinyan's summoning was too sudden; he arrived before he could even grab his scythe.
Xiao Xinyan was thankful that Uncle Death didn't bring his big scythe, otherwise he would have scared her second brother half to death!
The little boy glanced at Li Muchen, then his gaze fell on the Grim Reaper walking not far ahead, and he deliberately said loudly:
"Second brother only needs to know that Uncle is an incredibly capable uncle, and he's super reliable!"
Upon hearing this, Death's ears twitched involuntarily, and he seemed quite pleased.
He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said with pride and self-satisfaction:
"That's right! I'm super reliable!"
Xiao Xinyan smiled, her eyes crinkling like crescent moons, and nodded in perfect agreement.
