Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Bai Tianming pinched it with one hand...
Bai Tianming pinched the sunflower with one hand, as if pinching a huge water baby, and gradually increased the strength in his hand.
The sunflower was squeezed so hard that it made a crackling sound and trembled all over. It became smaller and smaller. Finally, it was only the size of half a fist, and it curled up into a ball. Every petal on its body was wrinkled, and every eye was narrowed. The vines hugged each other and wrapped itself up. It looked very pitiful.
Bai Tianming loosened his hand, spread out the sunflower in his hand and looked at it, then waved to Nanpu. Nanpu brought over a flowerpot and Bai Tianming threw the sunflower in his hand into it.
The sunflower rolled twice in the flowerpot and barely stopped. It was still curled up in a ball, like a dead insect, motionless, and didn't even dare to raise its eyes to look outside.
Bai Tianming reached out and fiddled with the sunflower like a puppy, but the sunflower remained motionless. Bai Tianming withdrew his hand nonchalantly and said to the sunflower, "Just stay here and behave yourself for now."
The sunflower tentatively expanded, and when it found that it was not stopped, it immediately became excited. Feeling a ray of sunlight leaking in from not far away, it suddenly became bigger with a bang, like a popcorn that suddenly exploded, and filled the entire space in the flowerpot in an instant.
That was an empty flowerpot, without any soil at all.
In just a blink of an eye, the sunflowers filled the flowerpot, and in the next second, the sunflowers were about to burst the flowerpot.
Bai Tianming had no intention of replacing it. He folded his arms across his chest, looked at it calmly, and said calmly, "If you break this thing, I will turn you into the same as it."
Sunflower protested very loudly, making a whimpering sound, trying to win a little sympathy in exchange for better treatment. At the same time, her body swelled even more.
The flowerpot was already unable to bear the weight. It made crackling sounds and began to crack gradually, with spider-web-like marks appearing on its surface.
Bai Tianming looked at the sunflowers with an expressionless face, as if he were reciting a eulogy to an emotionless stranger's corpse in a coffin at a funeral. He said coldly, "If the flowerpot breaks, you'll be responsible for cleaning it up."
Sunflower let out a long whimper, trying to act pitiful and get away with the punishment, but when she noticed that Bai Tianming's expression didn't change at all, she knew this method wouldn't work.
Sunflower tried hard to curl itself up, huddled in the small flowerpot, and meowed twice, looking like a poor kitten guarding its food bowl but with no food to eat.
Bai Tianming was unmoved. He looked at the sunflower, pointed to the corner of the wall, and said to Nan Pu, "Leave the flowerpot there. If it wants to bask in the sun, it can do so. If you want to move it, it's also convenient."
Nan Pu nodded and put the flowerpot in the corner.
Apos looked around and saw that no one was talking. He asked curiously, "Are we going to move away after this? Where are we going? Are we going to be sent to the Cloud Heaven to find the angels in heaven?"
"We'll see when the time comes." Bai Tianming looked at the sunflower that slowly poked its head out of the flowerpot and replied casually, "As long as it doesn't go crazy for a while, I won't be in a hurry."
Apos nodded.
Boaz had already run back from the mountain. He put the kettle and cup back on the table and walked around the crowd with an innocent expression on his face, which was red from exercise.
Bai Tianming glanced at him and asked, "Are you going to stay here today?" Of course there was a place for him to stay here, but it seemed like he would cause trouble if he stayed here.
As they were talking, the demons and priests who had been blown far away before had already appeared together at the gate of the courtyard, crowding together and peeking inside, not knowing whether they should come in or leave.
"I can afford the rent and would love to live here," Boaz asked with a smile. "I remember living in the utility room before, and no one had any objections. I can still move in there now. What do you think?"
Bai Tianming felt awkward about his address and raised his eyebrows: "I never thought you were so polite before."
Boaz laughed and said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. No one ever stays the same. Besides, I love to try new things."
"So you really want to live in the storage room?" Bai Tianming frowned and asked him for confirmation.
"If there's another place for me to stay, I'd be happy too," Boaz replied, spreading his hands. His face paled for a moment, and he looked a little hurt, as if he'd been elbowed invisibly, but he'd endured it, so he acted as if nothing had happened, not even a flicker of expression.
If he was truly being attacked, his ability to maintain expression would be commendable. If he wasn't, then we'd have to figure out what he was doing.
Why would his expression suddenly change for no apparent reason? There's no danger here. Unless he's doing something deliberately, and then deliberately covering it up in secret, outwardly unknown, but secretly eager to stir up trouble and turn the world upside down, just like before. It's really worrying.
Bai Tianming hesitated for a moment between rejecting him and accepting him, and then chose the latter.
After all, if I refuse him, he might want to come again and might come up with some tricks, which would cause trouble again, and that would be quite troublesome.
If I let him live here, at most I'll be suddenly woken up by him at night and have to get up to clean up the mess. As long as it's within this territory, no matter how big the mess is, it won't be too much trouble.
Bai Tianming pointed to the building outside the yard and said to him, "Then you can live next door."
He glanced over there, frowned, and couldn't help saying, "Isn't that full of demons? What's the point of me living there? It's not appropriate, is it?"
"Then what do you want to do?" Bai Tianming asked.
He rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Why don't you let me live next to the yard?"
"Doesn't that place count?" Bai Tianming asked very seriously.
"That counts, but it's a bit far," Boaz said seriously, his hands behind his back like a teacher. "I hope a room can be built against the wall of this courtyard, and I'll live there."
Bai Tianming frowned: "You have a lot to do."
This is not impossible, but if a room is built against the wall of the yard, it will affect the shape of the yard, and it may not look good.
Moreover, the two rooms inside and outside the wall are separated by only one wall. If there is any loud noise, they will definitely hear each other. If a fire breaks out, neither side can escape, which is really not suitable.
Bai Tianming pointed to the side and said, "Let's live there."
It was not outside the wall, but inside the wall, a room against the wall, but not a storage room.
Boaz took one look and said excitedly, "Then I'll live there!"
As he spoke, he ran over, opened the door, and went into the room. It seemed that he didn't plan to come out for a while.
Apos stood aside expressionlessly, his arms folded across his chest, looking like a pure bystander. His eyes were calm and numb, even a little impatient. He commented coldly, "It seems he knows how annoying he is. He won't show up again before dark."
Bai Tianming blinked and looked at Abel. Suddenly, he felt the shadow behind him flash. He slowly frowned and looked carefully.
His shadow was still behind him, without any changes or strange movements, as if everything Bai Tianming had just seen was a solitary illusion.
Bai Tianming raised his eyebrows, a little confused. He didn't think it was an illusion. After all, this was his territory. When he didn't want to fall into an illusion, he would never fall into an illusion in his own territory.
That meant that, whether before or now, he was not wrong. There really was something about Abel, a secret unknown to others, and he was not going to tell him for the time being.
He thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea to pry into other people's secrets. Since Abel hadn't mentioned it before, it was probably because he didn't know how to put it, or he wasn't ready yet. It would be better not to ask. Sooner or later, he would know it one day.
He fixed his gaze on Abel's face and asked seriously, "Do you remember what you promised me before?"
Abel thought for a moment and said, "You mean the thing that requires me to go back and look through the records?" The oath of the Black Goat Mother?
"Yes." Bai Tianming nodded: "Do you regret it?"
"No." Abel said calmly and without hesitation, shaking his head.
"Then when will you go back?" Bai Tianming nodded and asked again.
Abel glanced at the priests standing in a neat row outside the courtyard gate and replied, "Now."
He thought for a moment and said, "I probably won't be back tonight."
If he comes back, it probably means something unexpected happened. Don't take it to heart.
Bai Tianming seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded, sounding as if he was about to learn some secret. "Okay."
"Come with me." Abel said to the priests outside the yard.
The priests all stood at attention with a snap, looking serious and solemn, nodding repeatedly. Abel walked out, casually threw a space formation on the ground, stepped into it, and saw a flash of light, and his figure disappeared into the formation.
The other priests followed closely behind him and walked in one after another. The last one to enter was Apos. Soon, they all disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.
Now, only the demons were left standing there.
Sadah blinked at the demon, then looked at Bai Tianming, wondering if he was angry about the previous fight. He tentatively asked, "Are they still living next door?"
"Go." Bai Tianming nodded: "You are so tired during the day, you should have a good rest at night." After he said this, he suddenly felt a little dazed, feeling that he had said this before.
Sada waved to the demons, who nodded repeatedly, turned around and left, and quickly entered the building next door.
"Don't you find it strange?"
