There was silence all around. The footsteps not far away stopped. A group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes and gray robes stood there and looked over from afar. The leader was the man who had taken Yu Zhao to the imperial city before. He looked at Bo Chi with astonishment and shock, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
There was no movement behind me, and I didn't know whether I was frightened or scared.
Bo Chi did not look back, but met Yu Zhao's gaze nervously, opened his mouth and stammered: "I, I have never killed anyone..."
She spoke weakly, because she still remembered what Yu Zhao once said to her - those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
As expected, Yu Zhao seemed to be awakened by the words. His narrow and long phoenix eyes instantly turned red. He rushed towards her with a sword in hand and shouted angrily, "Get out!"
Bo Chi's heart was trembling, his whole body was cold, and he stood there numbly, not resisting at all.
Despair arose in her heart. The sharp pain made it difficult for her to breathe. She even gave up on escaping and thought to herself... Ghosts must die one day, and it would not be bad to die at the hands of a loved one.
She let Yu Zhao approach her sadly, thinking that she would be pierced through the heart by a sword, but Yu Zhao brushed past her, and blocked the black shadow's silent claws with his peach wood sword. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "She is my wife, I don't know who dares to hurt her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhao bit his fingertips, and the bright red blood smeared on the peach wood sword. A line of blood immediately lit up on the sword body, forcing the black shadow back.
The black shadow growled, hid in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to strike, but did not escape.
The demon exorcists not far away spoke up at this time, saying in a cold voice: "Miss Yu, don't let the demon ghost confuse your mind. This ghost is a woman. How can two women be married?"
Yu Zhao stood in front of Bo Chi with a sword, took a deep breath and said firmly: "No matter whether she is a human or a ghost, a man or a woman, she is the one I am destined to love for my whole life. If you, my peers, are willing to show some mercy and let us go, Yu Zhao will be very grateful and will definitely repay you one day."
A voice came from the demon hunter: "What if we refuse to let her leave alive?"
Yu Zhao held the sword horizontally in front of her. The blood on the sword and the red in her eyes were all murderous: "Then Yu Zhao can only fight to the death with you guys to protect my lady!"
The air was dead silent again. The demon hunters showed fear on their faces, and it was obvious that they did not want to fight with Yu Zhao.
But now is a special period. The supreme being in the imperial city is afraid of death and has called them here, promising them a large sum of money, with the only requirement being to kill the evil spirits.
If that person knew that they had clearly seen a ghost but let the other person go, I'm afraid life would be difficult for all of them.
The demon hunters quickly made a decision, took out their weapons and talismans, and said in a deep voice: "As a demon hunter, you have not only abandoned the oath you took when you first became a demon hunter, but also have become close friends with the demons. Today we will eliminate this harm for the people and expel you from our lineage of demon hunters!"
They all rushed forward, but Yu Zhao stood in front of Bo Chi without any fear and did not retreat a single step.
Bo Chi's mood went through ups and downs. Before he could even feel happy, he fell into worry.
She raised her hand to help Yu Zhao. Jin Xi and others who were behind her suddenly came forward and pushed her behind them one by one. They said in a trembling voice, "Chi Niang, run away quickly. We are here to protect you!"
"Mother Chi, thank you for giving me dry food and water that day. You saved my life. Now I can repay your kindness. It's worth dying for!"
"Wing Lady..."
The repeated persuasions made tears well up in Bo Chi's eyes and also attracted the attention of the demon hunters. They looked at Bo Chi with different expressions, and some of them were moved.
Not all demon hunters have their entire families wiped out by evil spirits, and not all demon hunters hate demons so much that they travel around to kill ghosts when they have nothing to do. Most of them are born into families that give them the opportunity to become demon hunters.
Therefore, when they found out that Bo Chi was actually protected by so many people, although they respected the emperor's ideas on the surface and beat him mercilessly, they actually reduced their strength a little.
——An evil ghost that is protected and loved by humans must be truly kind, right?
They were moved with compassion, but Bo Chi and the others were unaware. They saw a fierce ghost in the dark looking for an opportunity, and were blocked by the demon hunters from the front. Bo Chi thought for a moment and quickly made up his mind - instead of staying to attract fire and making Yu Zhao feel embarrassed, it would be better to take this opportunity to leave first, let them face the outside world together, and not let others down.
Bo Chi calmed his mind and took the time to remind the system: [Please help me keep an eye on the safety of Yu Zhao and Jin Xi. If anything happens to them, use my points to cover them first. 】
Without waiting for the system to answer, she took two steps back and said to Jin Xi and others: "I——"
Just as he uttered a word, the dark shadow in the darkness attacked again and grabbed Bo Chi with precision.
It timed itself perfectly, as Yu Zhao and the demon hunters were all focused on each other. In addition, the target it caught was beyond everyone's expectations, so no one was able to react in the first place.
Bo Chi was also startled, but then he felt relieved.
She and the black shadow were both ghosts. Unless the other party swallowed her up and digested her slowly, or scratched her until her soul was shattered, she could still recover gradually by absorbing Yin Qi.
Besides, even if the other party really swallowed her up, she would not be afraid - did she think that all the points she had accumulated were just for fun?
Bo Chi was not panicked at all, and even tried to dodge the claw by moving.
What shocked her was that... this ghost had no moral principles! When he caught her, he suddenly closed his hand, and instead of cutting her soul, he grabbed her waist, carried her and ran away!
Bo Chi was stunned, Yu Zhao was stunned, and the demon hunters were stunned as well.
After a while, an angry voice was heard, full of anger: "Put her down!"
[Yu Zhao was chasing you, and she chased you to the street. A street vendor was knocked down by her and cursed at him angrily. 】The thin wings hung on the black shadow's shoulder, struggling hard while listening to the real-time monitoring of the system: [Yu Zhao couldn't catch up, but she didn't give up and kept chasing. 】
The black shadow itself is a ghost. Unlike humans, it does not have to walk on two feet. At this time, it moves forward with thin wings, and then seems to pass through some barrier and come to another gloomy world.
Bo Chi felt a sense of crisis, stopped struggling and began to look around vigilantly.
This place must no longer be the human world. There was a strange blood moon hanging in the sky, and the figures around were looming. The thick yin energy filled the air, making Bo Chi feel free and comfortable like a fish in water.
The black shadow seemed to calm down a bit, put its thin wings on the ground, then ignored her and floated into the group of ghosts.
Bo Chi was stunned for a moment and realized that he couldn't find it. He was puzzled and said: [What's going on? ! It carried me back from afar, and then just left me there? ? 】
The system said calmly: [This is the ghost realm, a place where only ghosts can stay for a long time. Once humans show up, they will not only be torn apart by hundreds of ghosts, but also corroded and damaged by the negative energy. A weak ghost like you is actually the safest here. You can absorb Yin energy without worry and grow into a local overlord before going out. The black shadow brought you here, probably because he later discovered that you are a ghost who feeds on Yin energy. Out of the idea of protecting your own kind, he rescued you from humans and brought you back to your "home". 】
Bo Chi was speechless and his mentality was a little exploded: [This, this I should thank it? 】
The system shrugged: [If you don't use points, you will never be able to find the black shadow among so many ghosts. If you just want to find someone to 'thank', I think there is no need for you to waste points. You might as well seize the time to practice well and try to go out and find Yu Zhao as soon as possible - she has lost you and is now in the suburbs, furious. 】
After hearing this, Bo Chi no longer had the mind to practice. He shook his head and said, "No, no, I can't let her worry too long. I need to use my points to teleport out of this ghost zone!" 】
The system said slowly: [This is not a matter of points, but the rules and mechanisms of this world restrict you. You are a ghost and should not stay in the human world. You should come to the ghost realm when you die. It’s okay that you didn’t come in before, but now that you are back to your "home", it will be difficult to get out. Before your strength reaches the standard, no matter how many times you teleport, you can only wander around in the ghost realm. 】
[Unless you have enough points. Although it knew it was nonsense, the system still added: [If there are tens of thousands of them, then I can easily help you change the rules of this world. From now on, there will be no underworld or ghost realm, and souls and humans will coexist in the world... As for the disadvantages of doing so, you should be able to imagine it. 】
The thin wings wilt, and there is some despair: [In other words, I can't do anything now, and can only concentrate on cultivation? 】
System: [Yes. Of course, you can also place your hope on Yu Zhao. Maybe she will realize where you are and come to save you with a sword in hand. 】
Bo Chi felt hopeless and found an empty spot to sit on, absorbing the negative energy around him, completely giving up hope that Yu Zhao would come.
It’s not that she was sure that the other party didn’t dare, but even she couldn’t find the black shadow among a group of ghosts. How could Yu Zhao find her existence under the bites of hundreds of ghosts?
The thin-winged Buddha began to practice.
On the other side, Yu Zhao was just as the system said. He was furious for a long time. Finally, when Jin Xi and others rushed over, he suddenly realized: "If the evil ghost wanted to kill Chi Niang, it didn't need to take her away. It could just swallow her directly. But it didn't do that, which means it has no intention of killing its own kind. Instead, it wants to save Chi Niang from us!"
The demon exorcists who arrived late heard her words, glanced at her and said, "So, they can only go to the ghost realm."
"Ghost Realm?" Jin Xi and others were confused: "Where is that?"
"It is a very dark place, where tens of thousands of ghosts and evil spirits gather." The demon hunter pondered, "If you mortals use it, it is no different from the underworld."
Jin Xi's eyes widened immediately: "The underworld? Then, does that mean Chi Niang can't come back and can only be reincarnated?"
"No." The demon hunter shook his head. "There are no legendary figures in the underworld, let alone the Judge of Hell. There is only the heavy Yin energy that erodes lifespan, and countless evil ghosts. But what you said is right. I'm afraid that the female ghost will never come out after entering. After all, her cultivation is low, and she is far from being able to break through the ghost realm on her own."
Jin Xi and others looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
They turned to look at Yu Zhao, and were about to comfort each other, but they saw that Yu Zhao had stood up at some point, retracted the peach wood sword, and walked away step by step.
Jin Xi was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Master Yu, where are you going?"
Yu Zhao did not answer, and the demon hunter shook his head and said, "She wants to go to the ghost realm to look for someone. In other words, she is courting death! Alas, such a talented demon hunter was bewitched by her prey... Everything in the world cannot escape the word love..."
The demon hunters showed regret and a hint of admiration on their faces, and after expressing their feelings for a while, they turned around and left.
Jin Xi and others stood there in confusion, watching Yu Zhao's thin figure walking away alone.
The ghost realm is different from the human world, but it is also independent of the human world.
It does not have an exact entrance. If humans want to go in, they only need to use secret methods to open a passage in a cold and gloomy place at midnight, and they can naturally enter.
As for whether you can get out, it depends on luck.
Yu Zhao's luck is not very good, but she is strong enough.
The wounds she had sustained during the fight with the evil spirit had mostly healed, and now with only half of her abilities left, she still chose to enter the ghost realm in the mass grave.
She went in quickly and came out quickly.
The grey robe turned into a blood-stained robe hanging on her body in the blink of an eye, and the peach wood sword behind her was never unsheathed - because she was afraid that Bo Chi's mind would be disturbed in the ghost realm, afraid that she would not notice her existence at the first time, afraid that she would kill her wife with one sword.
Yu Zhao has always believed in stopping killing with killing, and he is not very good at the defensive techniques of the demon hunter.
This accident changed her mind. She began to live in the mass grave for a long time. Apart from practicing, she also healed her wounds. When she recovered a little, she once again entered the ghost realm to look for people without knowing the danger.
Spring has come and summer has gone, and two years have passed.
Yu Zhao's cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, and her defensive skills were indestructible, enough to support her to walk among hundreds of ghosts and examine their faces one by one.
But the ghost realm is so vast, and the number of ghosts is increasing all the time. Even if she searches for another ten or eight years, she may not be able to find Bo Chi.
Yu Zhao was in low spirits, but his movements were not slow. After searching for a while without any results, he was about to leave when the magic faded. Suddenly, a dark tide erupted in the south of the ghost realm, and the sweeping yin energy blew the surrounding evil spirits toppled over.
Yu Zhao's eyes lit up, he memorized the approximate direction, and immediately began to regulate his breathing after leaving the ghost realm.
In the past two years, she had thought about finding a stronger evil ghost and enslaving it to find people for her. However, the ghost domain was too large and the evil ghosts would not emit their aura at home, so she never got any results. She could only let her aura spread out, attracting batches of little ghosts, and slowly investigating them one by one.
Now that she had accidentally discovered the trace of a powerful evil ghost, she adjusted her breathing and immediately entered the ghost realm again. She concealed her breath at the first opportunity and headed south to search.
After two years of enduring and finally escaping from the ghost realm, Bo Chi took a deep breath of the human air and said excitedly: [System, help me see where Yu Zhao is now! 】
System: [In the ghost realm. 】
Bo Chi said happily: [Okay, then I will go find the ghost realm now? ? How could she be in the ghostland? Is she dead? ! 】
System: [She guessed where you are and has been traveling through the ghost realm for the past two years, hoping to find your trace. 】
Bo Chi was stunned, his eyes slightly reddened: [She is so stupid, there are so many ghosts in the ghost realm, how long will it take her to find me...]
No one needs to tell this to Yu Zhao, he must know it better than anyone else.
But she still came without hesitation.
Bo Chi felt a little sad, and even couldn't feel the slightest secret joy because of the heartache. Knowing that the other party was still in the ghost realm, she resolutely turned around and returned to the cage that had imprisoned her for two years.
The blood moon hung in the sky, and two people in different positions approached each other at the same time.
Yu Zhao traveled southwards, encountering ghosts along the way and reflexively looking at their faces.
After realizing it was not a familiar face, she continued on her way as usual.
After galloping for dozens of miles, Yu Zhao's heart gradually sank.
When the dark tide blew towards her, she had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. She just thought that she had a rare good fortune and that the ghost was not far away from her.
After running for a while, she realized that she had been thinking in the wrong direction.
It’s not that the ghost is close to her, but that the ghost is too strong!
Even from such a long distance, it was able to stir up a dark tide and affect her. The power of that evil ghost was truly unfathomable.
Yu Zhao slowed down his pace, hesitating whether to get closer.
Before she could come up with a conclusion, she suddenly caught a glimpse of scarlet from the corner of her eye. It was a fierce ghost, covered in bloody human skin. It seemed to be attracted by the dark tide and came out to check.
Seeing the familiar and kind face on the evil ghost's skin, Yu Zhao's body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes instantly became bloodshot, and he drew his sword for the first time in two years, and rushed to the evil ghost in an instant.
The evil ghost was a little slow, as if he had not expected a human to appear in his home. After his clothes were pierced by a sword, he shouted angrily, "It's you again!"
It recognized Yu Zhao and said with a twisted expression: "I have been searching for you for the past few years. I thought you were hiding, but I didn't expect you to be in the ghost realm. I haven't settled the account with you two years ago. Today I will peel off your skin, turn your flesh into corpse oil, and then tear your soul into pieces!"
When enemies meet, their eyes turn red. Yu Zhao curled his lips and said, "You want to settle accounts with me for two years ago, and I want to settle accounts with you for more than ten years ago! How did you kill my Yu family that day? I want you to pay me back a thousand times today!"
She fought with the evil spirit, and thought that after two years of training, she should be able to kill the opponent easily. However, the evil spirit did not relax its strength and fought her to a draw again.
Two years ago, both of them suffered heavy losses. Now there are signs of this again. Yu Zhao and Li Gui are getting impatient and cannot tolerate the other side escaping from them again.
At the critical moment, a gentle tide of darkness came over like a wave, and as it passed over the two of them, it made them feel a pressure as heavy as a mountain.
Yu Zhao's heart trembled, and she guessed that it was the powerful evil ghost coming. She suppressed her irritation, gradually calmed down, and decided to find a chance to escape before the evil ghost and the human-skin ghost cooperated.
The human-skin ghost had the opposite mood from Yu Zhao. He realized that a new strong man from the ghost realm was approaching, so he laughed and said loudly: "Senior, please stay! A blood-eating creature has sneaked in here. I beg you to help me capture her alive. After I catch her, the flesh and blood will be yours, and the soul will be mine. What do you think, senior?"
The tide was thick and dark, creating ripples like water.
As the two sides got closer, the water turned into thick fog, which then curled up into smoke and revealed the figure of the girl.
Her face was beautiful and delicate, and black mist lingered between her slender and delicate fingers, making her skin look even whiter than jade. Facing the human-skin ghost's request for help and flattery, she gently raised her red lips, but her eyes were on Yu Zhao, and she called out in a soft voice: "A Zhao..."
Yu Zhao's body was shocked. He no longer cared about fighting with the human-skin ghost and suddenly looked up at Bo Chi.
After their eyes met, Bo Chi smiled, and with a wave of his finger, the black fog seemed to come alive and imprisoned the human-skin ghost who was about to attack to the side.
Bo Chi himself walked down from the black mist, his steps were quick and hasty, and then he threw himself into Yu Zhao's arms like a young swallow, and said in a joyful and nostalgic voice: "A Zhao!"
Yu Zhao instinctively hugged her tightly in his arms, his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and he said in a difficult and dazed voice: "Chi Niang."
She seemed to have no sense of reality. She hugged Bo Chi's arms so tightly that it hurt, and repeated Bo Chi's name over and over again, as if she was afraid that she was still in a dream.
Bo Yi's eyes were slightly hot, he hugged her neck back, buried his face in her neck, and said sullenly: "It's me, I'm back, A Zhao, let's never separate again, okay? I lied to you about what happened two years ago, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Speaking of the past, Yu Zhao came back to his senses. He was silent for a while before he said softly, "I don't blame you. You were always by my side at that time. You watched me kill your kind. You must have been terrified. It was me who failed to realize the truth first, causing you to be so frightened... It won't happen again in the future."
Bo Chi was stunned: "What do you mean? Are you going to change your career and stop being a demon hunter?"
Yu Zhao shook his head and said seriously: "Next time I kill a ghost, I will definitely not let you see it. As long as you don't see it, you won't be afraid of me."
Bo Chi: “…”
Boy, it's okay to deceive yourself.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then said helplessly, "Since I like you, how could I be afraid of you killing ghosts? I just hope you can be a little more rational and not kill all ghosts because of the pain in the past. If there are ghosts like me who don't feed on flesh and blood and only rely on Yin energy to survive, then what if you let them go? Maybe they also have relatives, parents, friends and lovers who they care about, and they also want to go back and see them one day?"
Yu Zhao gently stroked Bo Chi's face: "I understand. If I encounter a ghost that doesn't kill, I will show mercy."
Bo Chi smiled, hugged her for a while, then thought of something and turned his head to look at the human-skin ghost, saying fiercely: "As for this bloody and cruel fellow, I support you in killing it! How do you want to kill it now? I'll hand you the knife!"
The confused human-skin ghost's face turned green when he heard this: "Senior! Sir! Don't be bewitched by this cunning blood-eating creature! She is a human being and a demon hunter. I don't know how many of our kind have been killed. How can you help her deal with our own people?"
"Who is your family?" Bo Chi pouted, hugged Yu Zhao tightly and said proudly: "She is my family, my wife!"
The human-skin ghost had a pale face, and looked at Yu Zhao as if he was looking at a beauty that was ruining the country, and Bo Chi was the tyrant who was blinded by beauty.
Yu Zhao and the human-skin ghost had a deep blood feud, and now she had the chance to avenge herself. She patted Bo Chi's back and said in a cold and chilling voice, "I'm going to kill it myself. Stay away and don't look."
Bo Chi had just reunited with her and was extremely well-behaved. He nodded and walked aside, looking at the moon with his back to Yu Zhao.
The shrill screams behind her did not affect her good mood. She was already counting on her fingers, counting when she could go back to see her old friends.
Not long after, Yu Zhao threw off his outer robe, walked over neatly, bent down, picked up the thin wings on the ground, and led her out of the ghost realm.
On the way, without Yu Zhao asking, Bo Chi told him about his experience in the ghost realm like pouring beans.
Knowing that she was not in danger, but had been practicing diligently so that she could come out to find him as soon as possible, Yu Zhao could not help but lower his head and kiss her forehead, sighing softly: "It's because I'm not strong enough that you have suffered this disaster."
Bo Chi shook his head, not caring about being abducted in front of Yu Zhao. Instead, he blinked and stared at Yu Zhao seriously: "You, you really don't mind that I'm a ghost?"
Yu Zhao paused, frowned for a moment, and then spoke: "When I first found out, you were in danger. I didn't have time to think about these things, and I subconsciously protected you according to my heart. After you were kidnapped, I thought about it for two years. From the initial mixed feelings and complicated heart, to later having nothing to ask for but to be alive, I clearly realized that everything else is not important. As long as I can hold you in my arms again, those painful obsessions and memories can be put down as the cold winter passes."
"With you by my side." She slowly relaxed her brows and smiled softly at Bo Chi: "It's eternal spring."
With tears in his eyes, Bo Chi suddenly hugged Yu Zhao's neck and said with a sob, "A Zhao, you are so kind... I will always love you!"
Yu Zhao stroked her back gently and smiled softly: "Me too, I will always love you."
**
Two years later, Kyoto is still the same, with bustling traffic and prosperity everywhere.
Yu Zhao and Bo Chi strolled to the front of the courtyard, intending to see if they could still live there. However, just as they reached the door, the door was opened and a woman in green came out holding a basin of water and looked straight into Bo Chi's eyes.
The next moment, her hand suddenly loosened, and the basin fell to the ground. She rushed over with red eyes, hugged Bo Chi and started crying: "Chi Niang, is it really Chi Niang? I'm so glad that you're okay, I knew you would be fine!"
Bo Chi stumbled when she flapped her wings. Seeing the basin was about to fall, she waved her fingers and black mist suddenly emerged. After catching the basin, she put her hands on the woman's shoulders and smiled, "Why are you crying when you know I'm fine? I finally got back, you should smile."
Liu Qing'er wiped away her tears and smiled brightly, then she saw Yu Zhao with a gloomy face beside her, and she was happy again.
Several people were talking at the door. Someone in the yard seemed to hear some noise and heard a strange and crisp voice: "Qing'er, who are you talking to?"
Bo Chi looked up and asked Liu Qing'er in surprise and confusion: "Who is the person who is talking? Your friend?"
Liu Qing'er burst into laughter, dragged her into the courtyard, and said loudly: "Everyone come over here, let's see who is back?"
The people in the yard raised their eyes, the people in the house came out, and a group of people looked over here. Then another gust of wind blew up, and the girls threw themselves on Bo Chi, pushing Yu Zhao aside, leaving him with no place to stand.
It was at this time that Bo Chi discovered the strange voice: "...it's you? Jin Xi, I haven't seen you for a few years. How come you have such a strange voice?"
Jin Xi was still crying, and her nose was crooked with anger when she heard this: "I originally had this clear voice! The demon hunters said that you deliberately changed my voice into a rough man's voice. How do you want to repay this debt?"
Bo Chi pretended to be deaf and dumb: "What are you talking about? I only let your voice become a little rough to help you get into the academy. Can you not appreciate the kindness of others?"
Jin Xi was furious and reached out to scratch the itchy spot on her waist.
Bo Chi could no longer hold back his expression, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes as he begged for mercy and dodged.
After reminiscing about the past, Bo Chi and Yu Zhao sat together and listened to them talk about what had happened in the past few years.
"I have graduated from the academy." Jin Xi said in a relaxed tone: "My parents know that I have always been at the top of the academy, and finally they have agreed not to force me to get married. My next step is to serve as an official in the court. The current emperor is not sober, and the situation in the world is maintained by loyal ministers, but they are all a bunch of old-fashioned people, afraid of this and that. I know I will definitely not be able to argue with them, so I decided to join them and change the world from the inside!"
Two years later, Jin Xi has matured a bit and his ambitions have become more ambitious.
Perhaps influenced by Bo Chi, she has a filter for ghosts and monsters, and wants the innocent wild ghosts to live in peace with humans. Her plan is simple. First, she will try her best to make the inheritance of demon hunters widespread, and secondly, she will produce a large number of soul-hunting compasses, trying to give everyone one, so as to distinguish which are evil ghosts and which are good ghosts.
The subsequent measures were too far away, so Jin Xi did not think about it anymore. For her, to implement these two things, she would probably have to fight wits and courage with the old antiques in the court for the rest of her life.
"But it doesn't matter." She said optimistically: "Wait until those old-timers die, and I'll see whether they will continue to oppose or support it!"
The others chuckled, and Bo Chi asked curiously, "Wait, are you still disguised as a man? Then how did you hide your restored voice from others?"
Hearing this, Jin Xi looked at her dimly and said, "Thanks to you, I have become more skilled at it and have mastered the technique of changing into a rough man's voice in a second. Listen, sister, isn't my voice now heroic?"
Bo Chi suppressed his laughter and nodded seriously: "Brother, you win."
Jin Xi chuckled and turned to look at Fu Shuang. Fu Shuang showed a shy look and said gently, "I'm not as good as Sister Jin Xi. In the past two years, Sister Qing'er and I have been learning embroidery. Now we have made a little name for ourselves and opened a shop in Beijing. We can be considered to have enough food and clothing."
Bo Chi did not look down on her, but praised her: "Being able to make a career is enough to show your excellence. Earning money with your own hands, nothing is cheap."
Fu Shuang stared at Bo Chi steadily, then lowered her eyes and chuckled: "Mother Chi really hasn't changed at all." She is still so gentle...
After getting to know Fu Shuang and Liu Qing'er, the next one is the little girl Hua Ci.
Huaci has grown a little compared to two years ago, but is still a minor. As soon as Bo Chi came back, he grabbed Bo Chi's sleeve tightly and stared at him without blinking.
Jin Xi looked at her like this, and then saw how much Bo Chi liked her, and he suddenly had an idea and said, "Hua Ci has always been close to you. After you were captured, she cried and made a fuss to find you. We locked her up for more than half a month, and she only became obedient after she got seriously ill. She usually does her homework quietly, and sits on the bench at the door every night waiting for you. It's also because you came back early today, otherwise it would not be Qing Er who saw you first, but this little girl."
"I see that you two care about each other, and you and Lord Yu don't have any descendants, so why don't you accept Huaci." Jin Xi suggested: "Let her be your daughter."
After she finished speaking, before Bo Chi could respond, a light suddenly lit up in Hua Ci's eyes. He stared at Bo Chi without blinking, and even his breathing became lighter.
Bo Chi was stunned for two seconds, then turned to look at Yu Zhao: "You...what do you think?"
Yu Zhao frowned, his eyes passed over Hua Ci, then fell on Bo Chi's face, and said in a light tone: "I'll listen to you."
Bo Chi couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and rubbed Hua Ci's head, and said cheerfully: "Okay, from now on, you will be the little girl of A Zhao and me!"
Huaci was stunned for a while, seemingly not reacting. After a while, she silently rushed into Bo Chi's arms, grabbed Bo Chi's clothes, omitted the word "Chi", and shouted as she wished: "Mom..."
Jin Xi complained inwardly, "I said this little girl was scheming. She refused to call me sister and insisted on following us and calling me Chi Niang. I think she may have had this idea for a long time and just used the name as a last resort to cover up her shame."
The others covered their lips and laughed.
In the following years, Bo Chi and Yu Zhao stayed in Beijing.
They did not reveal their identities, and taught Huaci like an ordinary couple, chatting and laughing with friends.
As time flies, Yu Zhao, who fought among evil spirits when he was young, died before everyone else.
Several old ladies surrounded her, and one of them asked suspiciously, "Is she trying to commit suicide on purpose?"
The teeth next to him fell out, and he asked vaguely, "What do you mean?"
Jin Xi pursed her lips and said, "A few days ago, she and Bo Chi went out. Bo Chi wanted to return to her youthful and pretty appearance, but a passerby saw them being intimate and asked her - is this girl your granddaughter? Hahahahaha!"
The old ladies burst into laughter, and Yu Zhao, who was still breathing his last, was so angry that he died.
Jin Xi said happily: "Dead, dead, oh, I'm leaving first, otherwise she will turn into a ghost and will definitely come after me."
Bo Chi held Yu Zhao's gradually cooling hand and said with a smile, "Don't run away. You are old now, just be quiet. Ah Zhao's soul has gone to the ghost realm, I have to go pick her up and help her stabilize her soul.
