Chapter 97 The Evil Image's Conspiracy
The more Judge Cui thought about it, the more his brows furrowed, and his already ferocious face looked even more ferocious.
He returned the phone to Qing Yanrou and said in a deep voice:
"Qing girl, I'm going back to the underworld right now to check and see if it's a problem with their fate or the Book of Life and Death."
Of course she knew the interests involved, so she nodded to him.
Before leaving, Judge Cui glanced at Chu Tingbai who was standing quietly beside Qing Yanrou. Seeing him lowering his brows and looking at him as if he was following her lead, he couldn't help but shudder.
It is really strange that the Lord of the Upper Realm who once caused chaos in their human world and underworld in a black robe would become so obedient one day.
As soon as Judge Cui left, the ghostly aura in the conference room disappeared completely, as if the scene just now filled with ghostly aura was just everyone's imagination.
It took them a long time to come back to their senses, but now they were all hesitant and didn't know how to start.
"Ahem, um, Fellow Daoist Qing, did the Judge say anything?"
Taoist Yuanyi felt his face getting hot, just like what his grandson often said, that he was slapped in the face.
"According to the Book of Life and Death, those ten people had already reached the end of their life span. Now there's a discrepancy between their fates and the Book of Life and Death, so the judge went back to verify it."
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it was like a bolt from the blue to everyone's ears.
The Book of Life and Death and the fate are in conflict?
Is it a problem with the fate of those people, or is it a problem with the Book of Life and Death?
If it was the latter, then the power of this evil statue was much greater than they knew.
At this time, everyone remembered what Chu Tingbai had just said. The evil spirit wanted to resurrect itself, and now those who had not yet completed their life span had gone to the underworld. So where did the decades of their life that disappeared from the Book of Life and Death go?
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was impossible. After all, the Book of Life and Death was in the hands of the judge, so how could it be tampered with so easily!
"Let's stop here for today. Let's go to the scene together tomorrow morning."
Taoist Priest Yuan Yi spoke in a deep voice, saying that it was almost midnight and everyone had traveled all day to get here, so they were all exhausted.
And only by getting a good rest can you better deal with what comes next.
"Um, Brother Chu, I didn't know you would come with me. This hotel has no vacancies. Do you want to stay with me for one night or—"
"No need, I'll just go with Qingqing."
Before Bai Yi could finish, Chu Tingbai interrupted him in a deep voice, took the room card from him, and left with Qing Yanrou.
Looking at the two people's backs as they walked away, Bai Yi felt more and more depressed and uncomfortable.
At this time, he roughly knew the source of his mentality.
She is so nice, how could he not be moved?
But her attitude towards Chu Tingbai was different from theirs from the beginning, and he should have thought of it earlier.
He smiled bitterly, then turned and went back to his room.
This is a relatively remote and backward place. Even though it is the best hotel in the county, the rooms are relatively small.
Looking at the standard hotel bed in front of her, and hearing the sound of him running the water in the bathroom, Qing Yanrou felt a tightness in her throat for some reason.
I feel inexplicably nervous.
"I didn't sleep well on the plane just now. Go take a bath first."
When Chu Tingbai came out with the hot water, he saw her staring at the bed in a daze, so he walked over to her, took her hand and walked towards the bathroom.
After taking her to the bathroom, he closed the door for her like a gentleman and returned to the bed.
First, he kept checking whether the air conditioner was turned too low, and then he checked whether there were any cameras in the room.
After he had done everything he could, he sat on the sofa beside him.
But when he looked up, he accidentally saw her graceful figure coming out of the bathtub reflected on the frosted glass of the bathroom.
He turned his head suddenly and stopped staring there. His entire earlobe was covered with a suspicious red, and even his neck began to turn crimson.
The two hands were now tightly clasped together, with veins popping out on the backs of their hands.
"I'm fine, go ahead."
Qing Yanrou said to him while wiping her hair.
Chu Tingbai stood up quickly, pressed her to sit on the sofa, then took the hair dryer beside him, plugged it in and started to blow her hair.
The warm and dry wind made her drowsy. Just when she was about to fall asleep, the buzzing sound of the hair dryer finally stopped.
"Ahem, you take a rest first."
As he said this, he turned and went into the bathroom. When Qing Yanrou came to her senses, the sound of water was already heard in the bathroom.
Even though she had caught up on some sleep on the plane, she still felt sleepy, so she ignored him and crawled into the quilt to sleep peacefully.
When Chu Tingbai came out, someone on the bed was already sleeping soundly.
He took a cold shower in the bathroom for more than twenty minutes before he finally calmed down his restlessness.
I was still feeling cold, so I turned off the lights for fear of disturbing her, leaving only a dim light on at the bedside.
I wanted to sit on the sofa, but I didn't want to be too far away from her, so I ended up sitting on the other end of the bed.
Seeing her sleeping soundly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He rubbed his hands together for a while until they were slightly warm, then reached into the bed, found her hand, held it tightly in his palm, and fell asleep.
When Qing Yanrou woke up, it was still dark and the bedside lamp was still on. When she opened her eyes, she found Chu Tingbai sleeping on the quilt, wrapped in a bathrobe.
Fortunately, the air conditioner in the room was turned on high, but I was still worried that he would catch a cold, so I pulled the quilt over him.
When she moved, she realized that her hand was held in his palm. The temperature was higher inside the quilt, and her palm was full of sweat.
He held her hand too tightly, so she had to use her other hand to pull the quilt. As a result, Chu Tingbai woke up as soon as she moved.
"Why don't you cover yourself with the quilt?"
When she just woke up, her voice was a little soft and hoarse, which especially caught his ear early in the morning.
He turned over and got into the bed as she pulled the quilt, and with his other hand he held her in his arms, burying his head in her neck and whispering:
"Sleep a little longer."
He freed his hand to turn off the bedside lamp, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
But at this moment Qing Yanrou had slept too much and was particularly energetic.
In the darkness, she opened her eyes and saw that the collar of his bathrobe was a little open because of her big movements. Seeing his Adam's apple and obvious collarbone so close to her, she couldn't help swallowing.
Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation, and slowly stretched out his free hand to touch the sexy Adam's apple.
As soon as her hand touched his Adam's apple, Chu Tingbai's breathing paused and suddenly became rapid.
"My dear..."
His Adam's apple rolled as he spoke, and her hand rubbed up and down there following the movement of his Adam's apple.
"You're not good..."
The rest of the words fell between their touching lips and disappeared.
The only sounds in the room were the two people's slightly rapid breathing and the barely audible swallowing sounds.
