Chapter 60 Sister, I’ve Been There
The atmosphere became tense for a moment.
"Excuse me..."
A frail woman holding a green oil-paper umbrella leaned against the doorway pitifully. Her long black hair and thin skirt were a little wet, and she shivered fragilely in the cold wind, which only made her look more pitiful.
"I'm so cold, can I come in out of the rain?"
"OK."
Bai Xiaoxiao responded subconsciously, but then she thought something was wrong and looked up at Qi Rong, but Qi Rong just smiled and had no objection to her decision.
The thin woman slowly walked into the inn.
The heavy rain outside the door kept falling, with occasional thunderclaps, making her figure appear and disappear.
She put the cigarette paper umbrella on the table.
"I don't know your name, young lady. Why are you alone in such a heavy rain?" Que Tianwen asked.
"My daughter's name is Chuchu."
Chu Chu lowered her head and replied in a timid and fearful voice, "I have been selling flowers for a living since I was a child, but the heavy rain has knocked down my flowers. I have no place to stay, so I have no choice but to ask for help from these two gentlemen and ladies."
"I see."
Que Tianwen nodded in understanding and advised, "Miss Chuchu, don't be afraid. We are all cultivators, not evildoers. We won't hurt you."
A look of surprise flashed across Chuchu's face, and then she nodded in a confused manner.
The rain is getting heavier.
Bai Xiaoxiao called the waiter over to boil a bowl of ginger soup and pushed it in front of Chuchu: "Miss Chuchu, drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold."
"Thank you, young lady."
Chuchu took the ginger soup handed to her by Bai Xiaoxiao, carefully raised it to her lips, and blew away the hot steam in small sips.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked her up and down, then walked around the long table to the corner and sat opposite Qi Rong who was watching the rain. "Third Brother, do you feel something is wrong?"
"where?"
Qi Rong did not answer but asked instead.
Hua Yanci leaned under Bai Xiaoxiao's palm, enjoying the little junior sister's caressing service while listening to her analysis.
"I felt something was amiss from the moment she walked in," Bai Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully. "Look, this is an inn, a place where...everyone can come. But she actually asked if she could come in before she even entered."
Qi Rong poured a cup of hot tea and placed it next to Bai Xiaoxiao: "Perhaps, this girl is polite."
"But it's raining outside." Bai Xiaoxiao continued, "When you're in a hurry to get out of the rain, how can you have time to pay attention to others? Even if she's really polite or scared, she can just come in or leave. It's fine."
"But she insisted on asking first, and the first sentence she asked was 'I'm so cold'. Did she really need to tell us she was cold? It was as if she was afraid we wouldn't let her in."
Qi Rong chuckled softly, "There are laws in the world of the living, which constrain humans; there are rules in the underworld, which constrain ghosts. Humans cannot break the laws, and ghosts cannot violate the rules of the underworld. Only when you ask the master and agree with him can you enter. This is one of the rules of the underworld."
"That……!"
Bai Xiaoxiao was about to say something when she suddenly heard a porcelain bowl break and a woman scream.
She stood up suddenly.
The bowl of ginger soup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Chuchu's fingertips were burned red and swollen. Crystal tears were hidden in her red eyes, about to fall but stopped, making her look even more pure and beautiful like a lotus flower emerging from the water.
"Miss Chuchu, are you okay?"
Que Tianwen, who was closer, quickly grabbed her hand and checked the injury. He frowned and took out a white medicine box from his pocket: "Burns are no small matter. Miss Chuchu, please be careful."
"Well, thank you, sir."
Chuchu took the medicine bottle, but was quite embarrassed: "Master, my fingers are a little injured, it's difficult to apply the medicine, can you... help me?"
"It should be."
Que Tianwen sat down next to Chuchu, unscrewed the medicine box, dipped a little of the white mud paste inside, and slowly and evenly applied it to the red skin.
The two people were so close that their breaths seemed to be intertwined.
Que Tianwen raised his eyes and met the woman's wet eyes. His Adam's apple rolled involuntarily, and then he immediately turned his head away.
"Sorry girl, I..."
"It's alright, sir."
Chuchu also withdrew her hand shyly.
They are peaceful over there.
And there is another kind of 'quiet' on the other side.
[Oh my god! What the hell is this painful, youth-inspired, melodramatic, ancient fantasy drama that airs at 8 PM? This is so embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for others again.]
[It's just applying some medicine, why are you dragging your feet like that? You two are just applying medicine, big brother and big sister, not having an affair!]
Bai Xiaoxiao thought about it again and felt something was wrong.
[According to Que Tianwen's brainwashing promise to Bai Xiaoxiao, this old guy is actually having an affair in front of me!]
You can't think too much about this. The more you think about it, the higher your blood pressure will be.
"No... didn't you see it?"
Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly turned and asked Qi Rong.
Qi Rong paused, unsure of what Junior Sister meant. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Although some cultivations are at a very high level, they require gradual integration and adaptation. Moreover, if one simply improves without guidance, it would be difficult to detect abnormalities in one's true form."
Bai Xiaoxiao understood, but then frowned: "No, I have to remind you."
Just as she was about to take a step, her hands were held down on the left and right.
On the left is Qirong and on the right is Fox Claw.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them in some confusion.
"Xiaoxiao, I advise you not to go."
Qi Rong raised his eyes and looked at her, his dark eyes revealing a hint of repressed depth: "If what you think is what you truly think, then don't interfere now, and you will get what you want."
At that moment,
Bai Xiaoxiao felt that Qi Rong's eyes penetrated her soul directly.
"but……"
"He is in the Jindan stage."
Qi Rong reminded Bai Xiaoxiao one last time.
If she insisted on having her own way, he would not stop her, but then she would no longer be his little sister...
The strength of his men unconsciously increased.
"Golden Core Stage?"
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't notice the strange look in Qi Rong and Hua Yanci's eyes, she was only surprised by the word 'Golden Core Stage'.
[No way... are ghosts this powerful? ]
Qi Rong:?
Hua Yanci:?
"Xiaoxiao."
Qi Rong looked at her with a complicated expression: "Who were you planning to look for just now?"
"Chu Chu." Bai Xiaoxiao felt the strength on the back of her hand loosen, and answered even more puzzled.
Qi Rong: "What do you want to see her for?"
Bai Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Didn't you see Chuchu fell into it? I just wanted her to avoid two years of detours."
[After all, I'm an experienced person.]
