Chapter 98 Life Story 3
◎You are so ugly that I can’t sleep! ◎
Yan Yue stood at the door of the half-moon, took a deep breath, changed her expression to an unfathomable, returning home in glory, and stepped over the threshold.
The passionate storytelling voice came to an abrupt halt, and two breaths later it turned into a roar.
“Ahhhhh! Boss! You’re back…”
Yan Yue was pushed back two steps by the figure rushing over, and managed to steady herself. She rubbed Chu Zhi's little head, and asked Nan Qing with a smile, "Are you all right to go together?"
Nan Qing could only see the joy jumping in his eyes. His face was much calmer. He bowed politely and said, "Boss. Everything is fine."
Yan Yue was about to point to the things on the carriage outside the door when a strange face came over. A well-mannered and handsome young man bowed to her with a respectful and humble attitude, "Chen Xing greets the boss."
Yan Yue nodded in agreement and asked Nan Qing: "Have you recruited any new people?"
"Yeah, let's talk about it later." Nan Qing saw the carriage outside and asked, "What are these?"
Yan Yue then pulled her out and said, "Most of them were given by His Majesty the Emperor, as well as rewards from Prince Jing and gifts from Princess Changning."
Chu Zhi's eyes lit up again and again: "Your Majesty? Prince? Princess? Oh my God, Boss, are we rich now?"
Nan Qing was somewhat dissatisfied: "Isn't it my job to make money?"
Three carriages were parked on the not-so-spacious street, attracting the attention of countless passers-by and merchants. The news that the mysterious owner of Banzhang Mingyue was favored by the nobles in the capital and rewarded by the Emperor spread like wildfire in Linjiang City.
The royal guards were majestic and followed behind Nan Qing and Yan Yue, driving the carriage in an orderly manner and respectfully calling her "Tianshi", which once again verified the news.
"Isn't this too conspicuous?"
"Boss, you don't understand. We are taking this opportunity to promote the teahouse!"
Yan Yue was a little embarrassed and had to hold an umbrella to cover her face.
Zhou Lin reminded: "The reward the young lady received this time is very generous. Tell Nan Qing that she doesn't need to bother with the teahouse anymore."
Yan Yue complained quietly: "She regards running a teahouse as her life's work! Don't even mention that I have the title of Heavenly Master. Even if I become a Grand Master, she will still mess around with this teahouse!"
Sure enough, Nan Qing had sharp ears and asked in dissatisfaction, "What are you talking about? Are you not going to run the teahouse anymore? Are you just going to eat and wait for death, and eat up all the money you have?"
"No, no, no!" Yan Yue hurriedly coaxed, "Zhou Lin was beaten so badly this time that his brain was damaged. He keeps talking nonsense. I'm teaching him a lesson!"
Zhou Lin: “???”
Afraid that Nan Qing would not give up, Yan Yue quickly changed the subject: "Um, is everything okay at home? How are Jiang Lao and Dahei? How is Xiaobai?"
"Uh..." Nan Qing was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Since the day Yan Yue left, Xiaobai also disappeared. After she and Chu Zhi analyzed the situation, they guessed that Xiaobai was Bai Chen. The two of them even laughed and said that if Yan Yue knew that "Xiaobai" had become her sharp-tongued master, she would be devastated and her whole world would be turned upside down.
Unexpectedly, just three days ago, "Xiaobai" came back!
Seeing her expression, Yan Yue had a bad feeling and asked quickly, "What happened? Did something happen to Xiaobai? Did it die of illness? Or was it lost?"
“Nothing at all.” Nan Qing’s expression was indescribable. He pinched his index finger and thumb together and said, “It’s just that there have been a few small changes…”
At home, the guards moved the things from the carriage into the yard. Yan Yue squatted on the ground, looking at the little white wolf that was almost as tall as his calf, and asked in disbelief: "You said, this is Xiaobai???"
Nan Qing explained truthfully: "The day you left, Xiaobai also disappeared. But he suddenly came back a few days ago, and he grew so big in an instant."
Yan Yue couldn't believe it. "My little white is so round and soft, how could it grow into this ugly face with a pointed nose and monkey cheeks? Could it be that you lost Little White and found a white wolf to trick me?!"
Nan Qing said helplessly, "This is a white wolf! Gray wolves are easy to find, but where can we find a white wolf? Chu Zhi and I originally thought that Xiaobai had been in our house for so long but had not grown up at all. We wondered if he was some big demon who had transformed himself. Now that Xiaobai has grown up, we are relieved."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It's definitely not Xiaobai!"
Yan Yue's face was full of rejection. How could that white ball, which was only slightly bigger than her shoes, become like this?
Nan Qing said, "It didn't grow before, probably because you hurt it. Now that the wound has healed completely, it has started to grow. Animals, like humans, grow very quickly. It was out in the wild and didn't have enough to eat. If you feed it meat for a few days, its face will soon become round again."
Yan Yue was extremely disappointed, "I still like it when I was a kid."
Nan Qing laughed and said, "That's just the beginning. It's a wolf, it must be at least as big as Dahei, or even taller than Dahei!"
The royal guards were moving things, glancing sideways frequently, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: He is worthy of being a Heavenly Master, even his pet is a white wolf!
Return home safely, everything is settled.
Maybe because he had been away for too long and felt a little strange, Xiaobai refused to jump onto the bed and sleep with him again.
Yan Yue tossed and turned, unable to sleep, but something in her mind gradually became clearer.
In order to ascend to become a god, Bai Chen fought with Mingyue for thousands of years with every move drawing blood and every blow being fatal. Whether it is the mutual respect between two worthy opponents or pure appreciation and admiration, there is always emotion.
This feeling made Mingyue sacrifice herself without hesitation to protect Baichen when he was in danger. Eventually, the Dark Moon God died, Bai Chen lost his love, and never set foot in the underworld again.
Then what?
Bai Chen met her by chance and saw some of Mingyue's shadow in her, a mortal. So he brought her with him, took good care of her, and even wanted to take her as his disciple, allowing her to run rampant and do whatever she wanted in the demon world under the banner of the Demon King.
Is he trying to make up for his debt to Lord Mingyue through her?
No wonder he doesn’t like me wearing black clothes. It turns out he’s not afraid of the dark moon, but is afraid of being reminded of someone when seeing the clothes!
No wonder he didn't let me mess with people from the underworld, because that's the place protected by Lord Underworld Moon, and he wouldn't allow a substitute to disturb the peace of the underworld!
No wonder he insisted on not letting me keep the golden statue of Hades. Was he afraid that I would be heartbroken when I saw the statue?
Oh, Bai Chen, oh Bai Chen, Mingyue is your weak spot!
After figuring this out, Yan Yue couldn't sleep anymore. She felt like the breath couldn't go up or down her chest, and she felt so blocked that she wanted to get angry.
When he saw the uglier little white, he immediately thought that Bai Chen was the white wolf demon. He became even more furious and angrily pushed the little white wolf out of the room!
"Get out! You're so ugly that I can't sleep!"
real. Little White Wolf: “……???”
Big Black approached slowly, and Little White immediately ran up to it, rubbing against it with a wronged look on his face.
Old Jiang asked Zhou Lin in confusion: "What's wrong with the girl? Why do I feel like she doesn't seem very happy to come back this time?"
Zhou Lin recalled everything that had happened in the short time in the capital, and said with some worry: "On this trip, apart from receiving a lot of gold and silver rewards, there is really nothing worth being happy about."
Xiaobai has grown a lot and is no longer suitable to be held in my arms.
The good news is that it no longer runs away. It used to be indifferent to Dahei, but now it likes to stick to Dahei.
Yan Yue slept until noon. Feeling empty inside, she didn't even want to eat. She took her black umbrella and went to the teahouse.
The teahouse was packed with business, and the moment Yan Yue appeared, compliments and greetings were heard.
Yan Yue was a little uncomfortable with such enthusiasm. Fortunately, the well-mannered young man from yesterday took two steps forward in time, protected her and sent her upstairs.
Nan Qing came over after finishing her work, handed over the notebook that Chu Zhi and Jiang Lao had collected from everyone and ghosts for her, and said, "How is it?"
Yan Yue didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Nan Qing gestured with his chin: "Chen Xing!"
Yan Yue followed her gaze and saw the gentle young man. Then he remembered that he had introduced himself before, nodded and said, "He looks good, quick and friendly. But he is a demon, so it will be inconvenient, right?"
Chen Xing took the money from the customer with both hands, but paused.
Nan Qing asked in surprise: "How do you know he is a demon?"
Yan Yue thought about it and realized that Chen Xing didn't wear clothes randomly, but she knew it inexplicably. She could only shrug and say, "I don't know, just, feeling."
"Amazing! You've really learned a lot during this trip to the capital!" After Nan Qing praised, he talked about Chen Xing's origin.
Chen Xing is a monkey. He wandered outside the teahouse for three days before he mustered up the courage to ask Nan Qing if he was hiring.
He was more accomplished than Nan Qing, but he took the initiative to confess that he was a monkey demon. He had no place to stay when he first arrived in Linjiang City and wanted to find a job to make a living.
Nan Qing originally didn't want to attract a monster. There was already a ghost in the store. If he attracted more monsters, wouldn't the days ahead be in chaos? But Chuzhi was moved by his sincerity and suggested that he try the job for a few days. If it didn't work out, she would let him look for another job and let him leave once he found a decent job.
Chu Zhi repeatedly assured that she either liked his gentle and polite appearance or she simply felt sorry for him. Nan Qing couldn't stand Chu Zhi's constant nagging, so he kept the person.
Facts have proved that Chen Xing is indeed capable.
He had no place to live, so he slept on the floor in the teahouse and took the initiative to take care of the chores of cleaning up the shop after closing. Every day when the two of them arrived at the shop, Chen Xing had already opened the door and cleaned the place inside and out.
Chu Zhi needed to sit for a long time when telling stories, so he added a soft cushion to Chu Zhi's seat.
Nan Qing is a snake, and his waist would ache after standing for a long time, so he added a cushion to Nan Qing's chair to support his waist.
He rushed to do all the dirty and tiring work in the store, and was careful and thoughtful in his work, so much so that Nan Qing once thought that he was here to steal the position of shopkeeper!
Fortunately, he is illiterate.
Nan Qing asked Yan Yue, "He said that he had worked for a wealthy family for ten years. He was provided with food and lodging, but his wages were delayed. Later, when he asked for his wages, the wealthy family ignored him and even reported him to the authorities, saying that his appearance had not changed in ten years, and that he had no sores on his hands and feet no matter how much rough work he did, so he must be a demon."
Yan Yue replied naturally, "He didn't bring anything with him. He fled all the way here, suffering from hunger and cold. Seeing that you are a demon, he wanted to ask you to take him in for a while because you are also a demon."
Nan Qing asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
"That's what it says in the storybook!"
Yan Yue joked, "According to the story, the female shopkeeper was moved by the diligence and simplicity of the male fairy, and they fell in love with each other during their days together. Then the female shopkeeper encountered difficulties, and the male fairy stepped forward and risked his life to save her. After the disaster, the two expressed their feelings and finally became a couple!"
"Ah..." Nan Qing's mouth almost stretched to the back of his head, and his tone was full of disgust: "Impossible, monkeys are the most annoying! I will never let anyone affect the speed at which I make money!"
"I'm going to fire him!"
