Chapter 61 His Love 1
◎Do all women like this? ◎
At the beginning of the new year, Bai Chen always comes up with new ideas and has everyone having fun.
Everyone eats, drinks and has fun all day long. But every time Qi Zhaoyang got close to Yan Yue, Bai Chen would suddenly appear. For several days in a row, Qi Zhaoyang didn't get a chance to be alone with Yan Yue for a while.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Qi Zhaoyang received a letter from his master. After reading the letter, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly invited Yan Yue to visit Qingxu Temple.
The shop opened after January 15th, but Yan Yue was too lazy to travel, and she also needed to learn some martial arts, so she simply refused.
That night, Yan Yue was holding Xiaobai and soaking her feet when Qi Zhaoyang came knocking on the door and said something like "Humans, demons and ghosts have different paths", "Demons are often treacherous", "Don't make the wrong decision", etc.
Yan Yue had drunk some wine that night, and was confused by what she heard. She asked in confusion: "Do you also think I am unlucky?"
"Ah?" Qi Zhaoyang was stunned. "Why would you think so?"
Yan Yue was drunk and asked, "What do you mean? I am a person who can attract demons and ghosts!"
"Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with being with them! Nan Qing is smart and capable, Bai Chen is a martial arts expert, rich and interesting, Zhou Lin is nagging but very considerate, and Jiang Lao is friendly and kind. They are all very good, much better than many people! I am happy to be with them!"
Qi Zhaoyang realized that she had misunderstood him, and he fumbled to explain, "I, I'm not asking you to stay away from them, I'm just afraid..."
The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back by Qi Zhaoyang because he didn't want to remind her that Bai Chen had feelings for her.
As it stands, although Yan Yue has no feelings for him, she also has no intention towards Bai Chen. But if Yan Yue realizes this after he reminds her, it might turn out to be a bad thing.
"Yueyue, I'm telling you the truth!"
In order to calm Yan Yue's anger, Qi Zhaoyang had to tell the secret, "In fact, I can see ghosts because of you."
Yan Yue looked up in surprise, and even Xiaobai, who was lying in her arms, pricked up his ears.
Qi Zhaoyang lowered his voice and said, "Do you still remember the time you dealt with the evil ghost who caused trouble in the Feng family? That day, you raised your arm to block the sword in order to stop me from killing Wei Ping, and you were injured. I suspect that in the chaos that day, your blood dripped into my left eye."
Yan Yue asked in surprise: "Is it my blood that hurts you so much? You shouldn't do that! You and Chu Zhi have touched my blood before, and nothing unusual happened. Logically, my blood can only restrain monsters!"
Qi Zhaoyang reminded: "Not only monsters, but also ghosts cannot get close to you. I guess, maybe the eyes are the door to the soul. If your blood enters through the eyes, it can give people the same ability to see ghosts."
Yan Yue was a little excited: "Is it possible? Then I give two drops of blood to Chu Zhi and Nan Qing, won't they..."
"No!" Qi Zhaoyang shouted, "You must not let anyone know about this!"
Yan Yue was confused: "Why?"
Qi Zhaoyang said seriously: "Do you know that being able to see people from the underworld is an ability that many people dream of? If outsiders knew that your blood had such an effect, do you know what would happen to you?"
Yan Yue asked timidly: "What will happen?"
Qi Zhaoyang said: "You will be imprisoned and kept captive, and your blood will be drained every day! Your blood may even be sold at a sky-high price to fight against and deter evil spirits!"
Yan Yue was horrified and nodded like pecking rice: "I won't tell anyone! I won't tell anyone, absolutely not!"
When she thought about being locked up in a dark dungeon and having her blood cut and bled every day, she felt that this was truly a huge secret!
Qi Zhaoyang's expression softened, and he said, "I know you have a simple mind, but Zhou Lin, Bai Chen and the others are not of my kind after all. If they knew that you have such abilities, there is no guarantee that others would not know about it. Especially the monsters!"
He sternly warned: "If the evil spirits know about this, you will never live in peace again in your life!"
Yan Yue's mouth drooped, and she complained to him in a crying voice: "Then why did you tell me? Wouldn't it be better if I didn't know? What if I accidentally talked in my sleep and someone heard it? Wouldn't I be dead then?"
Qi Zhaoyang helplessly comforted her: "Don't worry Yueyue, I'm here."
He took out three talismans from his bosom and mustered up his courage once again: "This time when I return to the sect, I want to report to Master and ask him to take you to Qingxu Temple. Yueyue, are you willing?"
Yan Yue asked hesitantly: "Then, what about the teahouse?"
Qi Zhaoyang said hurriedly: "I can open another teahouse for you in the town at the foot of Qingxu Temple Mountain, and let Xiaozhi and Nanqing help you manage it. If you get bored in the mountains, you can go down the mountain to find them."
Yan Yue finally gained a foothold in Linjiang City, a place with beautiful scenery and lush mountains, and with the support of the Zheng and Feng families.
Miss Xu, who was rescued by Constable Qin, also came to work in the teahouse and learned how to manage business from Nan Qing. If I leave, what will happen to Miss Xu, who has finally walked out of the house? If Zheng Yi and Feng Jian skip classes again without her as an excuse, they will get beaten, right?
Seeing Yan Yue's hesitant look, Qi Zhaoyang placed the talisman paper beside Yan Yue's bed, squatted in front of her, and said affectionately: "Yueyue, as long as you are willing, I will protect you and take care of you for the rest of your life."
Xiaobai stared at Qi Zhaoyang fiercely, baring his teeth and wanting to bite him, but he heard an incomprehensible voice coming from above his head.
"Not really, I haven't had my blood drained yet!"
Yan Yue picked up three talismans and said, "I won't go to Qingxu Temple. I haven't sent Zhou Lin back to his ancestral grave yet. Dahei is old and can't stand this kind of torture. If you have a conscience, just give me some more talismans!"
Qi Zhaoyang couldn't help showing a disappointed look, but before he could say anything, Yan Yue added: "This is a matter of life and death, I will keep my mouth shut! You can't tell anyone else! Especially Chu Zhi, her mouth is like a sieve, you can't trust her!"
Qi Zhaoyang sighed helplessly and left dejectedly.
Yan Yue stroked Xiao Bai and asked in confusion, "Is he too bored in Qingxu Temple and wants to drag everyone over to relieve his boredom?"
Xiaobai rubbed her chin and licked it with his tongue to encourage her: Yes, you think so!
A wet and itchy feeling came over Yan Yue, and she was overjoyed. She instantly forgot about Qi Zhaoyang. "Ahhh, why are you so good today? You stick to me and lick me. Did you do something wrong?"

After Qi Zhaoyang left, Bai Chen's "diligence" level dropped sharply, and he seemed a little lazy.
After learning the secret of her blood, Yan Yue became more obsessed with martial arts. Chu Zhi took care of everything at home and became more and more disgusted with Bai Chen.
As the Lantern Festival is approaching, Chu Zhi wants to buy some lanterns to decorate the yard. The group enjoyed the stroll to their heart's content and did not return home until the lights came on. When they entered the house, they saw Mr. Jiang and Zhou Lin talking to a man in a green shirt in the yard.
Upon seeing Yan Yue, Zhou Lin immediately stood up: "Miss Yue, you guys..."
Chu Zhi passed through the green-shirted man's body without noticing anything. She shuddered for no apparent reason and shouted angrily to the air, "Zhou Lin! Can't you just avoid me?"
Chu Zhi couldn't see ghosts, but she had gained experience after living with them for several months. As long as you feel a sudden chill around you or a cold wind blows against your collar, it means that a ghost is approaching. She acted in a hurry and bumped into Zhou Lin several times, cursing him every time.
Nan Qing looked at the extra shadow and asked Yan Yue: "Maybe it's not Zhou Lin?"
Yan Yue nodded: "A guest is coming."
The ghost who came to "visit" was named Zhang Jicun. He was thin, but had regular features, a gentle smile, and seemed easy to get along with. According to Zhou Lin and Mr. Jiang, it was he who came to them on his own to ask Yan Yue for help.
Mr. Jiang spoke well of Zhang Jicun: "Young Master Zhang is a deeply devoted and infatuated man. Girl, please help him!"
Yan Yue became more excited as there was melon to eat.
Until the moon rose above the treetops, the courtyard was still filled with Yan Yue's retelling and Chu Zhi's sighs.
"Haha, this is even more outrageous!"
Yan Yue recounted the story with excitement: "The girl liked the play of a famous Peking Opera actor. One day, the actor was performing in a theater. There was a wooden sign outside the theater with the actor's portrait and signature, as well as the songs for that day's performance. Zhang Jicun took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, picked up the wooden sign and ran away, leaving everyone in the theater stunned! When they reacted, a group of people chased him, causing chaos!"
"Hahahaha, this is incredible..." Chu Zhi burst into laughter and asked, "Then what? Were you caught?"
Yan Yue smiled and said, "No, he ran away, and then gave the wooden sign to his beloved girl! I can't believe that he looks so honest, but he would do such an outrageous thing!"
Nan Qing interrupted: "It's so unlucky for the theater to have suffered such an unexpected disaster!"
Chu Zhi said dissatisfiedly: "Sister Nanqing, why are you focusing on the opera house? Master Zhang's body is still warm, but he is still thinking about the thrush he wants to give to that girl. How touching!"
Nan Qing shrugged, not understanding. "What's there to be moved about? There's no gratitude involved. It's stupid to sacrifice your life to please an irrelevant person, isn't it?"
The smile on Zhang Jicun's face froze, and Yan Yue hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Besides gratitude, there is also the word love, you don't understand! It's getting late, Zhou Lin, take Master Zhang to the back seat to rest! Tomorrow I will go to the place he said, find the thrush, and send it to his Miss Shi."
Zhang Jicun thanked Yan Yue and followed Zhou Lin to the empty back room.
Chu Zhi looked at Zhang Jicun's back and said with emotion: "He is so devoted! He goes to the river in the middle of the night to fish for the fish that his beloved girl likes to eat, goes to the temple at dawn to grab the first incense stick for her, buys buns for her in the coldest days of winter and puts them in his arms for fear that the buns will get cold, and releases a hundred river lanterns for her on the Qiqiao Festival... If someone is willing to do these for me, I will marry him on the spot!"
"Then you better think it through!" Yan Yue teased, "After you get married, you can no longer look at other handsome young men!"
Nan Qing joked, "It doesn't matter. Our Xiaozhi has a big heart, and can accommodate as many men as she wants!"
The three girls dispersed with laughter. Bai Chen looked at Yan Yue who was sleeping soundly and thought to himself: So women like this?
Before Bai Chen could think of where to pick some flowers, Yan Yue unconsciously raised her hand and pulled him into her arms, muttering, "Xiaobai, don't run around..."
She wouldn't suddenly become "cold" recently, so Bai Chen could finally sleep peacefully. However, he still didn't understand why she suddenly became cold, which made him feel uneasy.
Towards the early morning, Egret Leopard came to call him.
"Now the clan is divided into three factions. That cunning fox has won over a group of young men and is eager to take the throne. Leopard Tail and White Socks are fighting against them, insisting that they will guard the throne and wait for you to return, and will never let those who are plotting to harm you succeed."
Bai Chen asked: "The last wave is the mandrill and the old baboon?"
Bai Lubao replied: "Yes. A group of old men led by the old baboon and the mandrill want to kill the demon tribe. Now they are the ones who are balancing the two forces. Your Majesty, the one who hurt you must be that slutty fox. Let's kill him back!"
Bai Chen said: "Wait a minute, I have something else to do..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps. Bai Chen moved as fast as lightning, raised his hand and pressed it on the top of the egret leopard's head!
