Chapter 177 Dexterity
The gentleman was holding a birthday present that was more than 100 years late. When his disciple came to pick him up, the old man showed off his "treasure" to his disciple like a child.
His disciple looked to be in his 40s and was unable to understand the old man's joy. He could only compliment his master to make him happy and express his gratitude to Ning Hanqi for giving him a gift.
"I'm afraid we won't see each other again after this farewell, take care." At this age, the more you see each other, the less times you see each other. According to fate, this is the only chance for him and Ning Hanqi to meet since 100 years ago. After this meeting, it will probably be a farewell forever.
"You should take care of yourself too." Ning Hanqi watched him get into the car and had a premonition in his heart.
"Nuannuan?" Ning Hanqi suddenly felt a cold soul hugging her, with a pair of hands around her waist.
When God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you.
Xia Yingnuan stayed in her studio and unfolded the picture of a cat catching ghosts. The cat was still the same cute cat, but it didn't have the lively feeling as if it was coming alive. Could it be a disposable item?
The miniature ghost under the kitten's paw makes the atmosphere of the whole painting extremely dark. The lively and cute kitten suddenly becomes a messenger of the underworld. Those who don't know would think that she is painting the scenery of hell.
Xia Yingnuan, who was short of money, immediately thought: "This magical painting should be able to sell for some money, right?" But she didn't know where to sell it.
Why not ask after you find the club?
While thinking about this, Xia Yingnuan opened the summer box next to her. She carefully took out her painting supplies in the dark. She was going to do another experiment.
What would she paint this time? Xia Yingnuan glanced at the bookshelf, and upon receiving inspiration, she focused her energy directly on the tip of her brush. Between the dots of color, a wolf with a green-lit eye and a sinister, cold demeanor leaped onto the paper.
Xia Yingnuan finally added a divine light to the wolf's eyes. The moment the painting was completed, she couldn't help but take two steps back.
The wolf in the picture looked like it would pounce out at any time. How could it not be scary? It was indeed quite intimidating. After drawing a wolf, Xia Yingnuan felt a little tired, but after a while, a familiar power filled her body again.
She stuck her head out the door and saw that it was indeed the magical oil lamp.
So there's a remote charging service? What brand is this?! Give her ten or eight more!
After Xia Yingnuan retracted her head, she recalled what she had done when she awakened the first painting, and then tentatively said to the wolf, "You... come out for a moment?"
As soon as Xia Yingnuan finished speaking, the drawing paper suddenly shook violently. Xia Yingnuan hurriedly took several steps back. A dark green light bloomed from the scroll and gradually condensed into shape. Finally, a ferocious wolf appeared in front of her.
"Can you... catch ghosts?" Xia Yingnuan asked cautiously.
The wolf looked at her, scratched its claws, turned around and jumped out of the window.
Xia Yingnuan was about to chase over to take a look, but the "haunted" scene had not been cleaned up yet. She quickly put everything back in place to prevent her senior sister or Aunt Liu from being scared if they were discovered.
After putting everything back in place, Xia Yingnuan suddenly heard heavy breathing behind her. It was the sound of a wild beast. She shuddered and looked back to see that the giant wolf was holding a ghost baby with its umbilical cord still uncut in its mouth. The ghost baby was extremely thin, with a very big head and two empty holes for eyes. It looked like the word "ugly" was described to the extreme.
The wolf threw the ghost baby to the ground. It was so thin and small that it looked extremely pitiful. It opened its mouth and was about to cry, but the wolf pressed its claws on its mouth. No wonder the little thing didn't move when it appeared behind it.
The little thing looked at Xia Yingnuan pitifully, twisting and struggling, probably hoping to get some sympathy from Xia Yingnuan, but those eyes were not cute at all, and were rather scary. Xia Yingnuan really couldn't feel any sympathy for it.
The wolf roared, then took the ghost and turned into a painting again, which fell into Xia Yingnuan's hand.
The wolf in the painting is still as majestic as before, but it has lost its newly acquired spiritual energy, and there is a pitiful ghost doll under its claws.
Xia Yingnuan stared at the painting in a daze for two seconds, then ran around the studio like a monkey, "Oh oh oh."
"God really loves me!" Xia Yingnuan grabbed the little coal ball hiding in the corner and kissed it until it meowed. It was not until the little cat resisted and kicked her face with a Foshan Shadowless Kick that it escaped from her clutches.
The sky was turning a little pale, and before we knew it, a chaotic night full of surprises had passed.
Xia Yingnuan had a new question: could she use the painting, or could others? Or perhaps she could ask the unfortunate heroine to test it for her? She encountered ghosts all the time anyway, so a casual stroll outside at night would be enough to complete the experiment.
Kou Zishu's situation was arranged clearly by her.
"Squeak..." In the quiet morning, the sound of a door opening was heard from the master bedroom not far away.
Xia Yingnuan's crazy movements came to an abrupt halt, and even the smile on her face froze.
"Plop." The coal ball was gently placed on the ground, and then it tilted its head and watched the poop shoveler No. 1 holding two pieces of paper, opening the window and running away. Of course, she did not forget to close the window.
"Meow?" The door of the studio opened, Ning Hanqi turned on the light, and then Meiqiu was picked up by its owner No. 2.
"Meiqiu, are you here to cause trouble?" Ning Hanqi patted the kitten's paws.
"Meow!" The wronged kitten cried out angrily twice, jumped out of Ning Hanqi's arms and ran away.
When Ning Hanqi was about to leave the studio, he suddenly noticed something strange on the ground.
She walked to the middle of the studio, squatted down, and touched a drop of black paint on the ground with her hand. It was not completely dry yet...
She silently opened the unlocked box. The paint inside showed signs of use. She had sorted out every one of Nuannuan's belongings by hand, and she knew exactly what was missing.
Someone used them...
——————
Xia Yingnuan, who didn't know she had been exposed, found herself running very far when she came to her senses. Since the eternal lamp provided her with strength, she ran faster and faster, and she had destroyed an entire district in the blink of an eye.
The thought of his senior seeing his embarrassing love letter overwhelmed the shame and fear he felt when he learned about his magical powers.
Of course... Xia Yingnuan thought dejectedly. This kind of escape wouldn't solve any problems. She would have to face things sooner or later. But give her a little more time until she was prepared for the worst...
"Bang!" Xia Yingnuan accidentally bumped into something while she was distracted, and her head was buzzing.
"It hurts!" Xia Yingnuan squatted on the ground, holding her head. How could a wall hurt her? After carefully observing her surroundings, she suddenly realized that she had arrived at the address on the business card left by the red-clothed female ghost.
"Who is it? Aren't you sleeping so early in the morning?" A very impatient voice came from the wall in front of Xia Yingnuan, and the seemingly solid "wall" suddenly blurred like a water mirror.
A woman with a fox tail and messy hair walked out from the "wall". She glanced at the ghost squatting on the ground with his head covered, and said with a strange look, "Knocking on the door with your head, your habit is very strange, isn't it?"
Xia Yingnuan was brought in with her swollen head covered. After passing through the "wall", she finally saw the hidden club.
No wonder she didn't find it last time, it turned out to be hidden. Xia Yingnuan's eyes were fixed on the fox tail of the woman who led her in. It was furry and soft, just like rua!
The fox demon felt a chill on her tail. She looked back vigilantly and saw the newborn ghost staring at her tail with his saliva almost dripping out!
Her face darkened and her tail disappeared.
Xia Yingnuan showed a regretful expression.
"Guests are welcome. Would you like something to drink? Or did you just barge in unintentionally? Aren't you afraid of getting sunburned by wandering around outside in broad daylight?" The fox demon yawned and asked lazily.
"Is this the so-and-so love club?" Xia Yingnuan asked a little embarrassedly, looking at the fox demon who looked so exhausted that he could fall asleep at any moment.
"That's right, the boss's naming skills are just like that, so you'll have to make do with it." The fox demon glared at her and said, "So what do you want?"
The fox demon was very irritable after being woken up after just ten minutes of sleep.
"Um, I was recommended here by a red-clothed... ghost sister. She said there was information we could trade."
"Red Clothes? Sister Liu?" The fox demon thought for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes wide and said, "You're not the fat...rich woman Sister Liu was talking about, are you?"
"Rich woman!? Where is the rich woman!" Suddenly, a "little girl" behind the bar jumped up with the momentum of a dying person sitting up in shock.
"Rich woman?" A head popped out from the ceiling, searching with green eyes.
"Is the rich woman here?" A starving ghost, looking like he was about to die, with only a thin layer of skin clinging to his face, crawled out from the wall and grabbed Xia Yingnuan's ankle. "Rich woman! I'm hungry! Food!"
"...Ahhhhhh!!!" Xia Yingnuan looked down at the thing that was almost indistinguishable from a skeleton, and screamed and crawled to escape. However, the fox demon reacted quickly and pressed the starving ghost back into the wall with one claw.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! That thing is not aggressive. I'll let her pack it up before coming out!" Xia Yingnuan, who wanted to escape, was forced to sit on a chair by the fox demon. A group of "people" brought tea and water in the name of comforting Xia Yingnuan's frightened heart, but in fact they blocked all of Xia Yingnuan's escape routes, fearing that the rich woman would run away and never come back!
"I, I, I..." Xia Yingnuan couldn't even speak clearly. The eye contact just now almost made her heart stop.
After a while, a petite and pretty girl in a cheongsam came out. She looked about 20 years old. She glanced at Xia Yingnuan timidly and apologized in a low voice.
Xia Yingnuan looked at her, then at the other fawning non-humans, and said in a trembling voice, "She, she is the one just now..."
"Yes, don't mind me. That unfortunate child starved to death before she died, so she looked so shabby just now. You came too early today, and she didn't even have time to put on makeup."
"Ha..." Xia Yingnuan wiped the sweat from her forehead, "It was really, really scary..."
"Yes, yes, we'll definitely pay attention next time! What would you like to order? I'll treat you to it to calm you down."
"Coke, thanks!" But she is a ghost now, can she still drink Coke?
Xia Yingnuan said it casually, but she didn't expect that someone would actually serve her a drink specially prepared for ghosts!
"Wow!" Xia Yingnuan took a bite in surprise. The taste was exactly the same as when she was alive!
Is this the treatment of rich women? But if they knew that they didn’t have a penny in their pockets, would they kick themselves out directly?
Xia Yingnuan looked at the group of non-humans with green eyes, staring at her like hungry wolves, feeling extremely guilty. She had to find a way to hide the fact that her pockets were empty...
Ha...the relationship between these two is really getting better and better. The sticky feeling between them is several times stronger than the last time they met. In other words, the sour smell of love is getting stronger and stronger! Ms. Lu tried to turn her attention elsewhere.
Maybe she came at the wrong time, so she remembered it this time and will come again after she finishes lunch next time!
"You're here, come and sit down." Ning Hanqi continued to smile as if nothing had happened. "I'm feeling much better now. Thank you for your concern. You're here for your students' business, right? Is her 12th round of dungeons about to begin?"
"Ahem... yes, here are the bound items." Lu Siqi placed the item ring in front of her. "I've prepared three items for her, one for the prophet and one for Miss Sea Hare. If she's unlucky and doesn't get any, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for help."
It was indeed this matter. Ning Hanqi understood it in his heart and calculated that it was about time.
"Just contact me when the time comes." She accepted the ring. If the child was really unlucky and couldn't come across the two safe copies, she hoped that she could come across the three copies she had designated. At least the peripheries of those three places were less dangerous.
