The dean clapped his hands with satisfaction: "That's more like it, Comrade Ke. Look, even Old Zhao, as a teacher, apologized to you. Otherwise, would this matter have been forgotten?"
Ke Meiyu raised her head and tilted it slightly. Seeing that the dean's forehead was also dark, she sighed and said, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Dean, you should try to avoid walking at night in the future."
The inexplicable words sent a chill down the dean's spine. "Who told you this, child?"
“No,” Ke Meiyu stood up, picking up her bag. “I won’t change classes. If something happens to me, it will definitely be Ms. Zhao’s fault, and the dean, as her superior, will also be held accountable.”
"I won't provoke others, but I'm never afraid of trouble either. You'd better think twice; am I really someone you can mess with?"
After saying that, she sneered and left, tossing her bag aside.
"Tch, she's just a little kid, only in college, and she doesn't even know who she is? Her parents work at our school, doesn't she have the slightest bit of concern?" Master Zhao was furious.
The dean said coldly, "Enough! How many times have I told you to keep your temper in check? It's only the beginning of the semester, and look at all the trouble you've caused! Do you have to let everyone know what kind of vicious heart lies beneath that facade?"
Master Zhao crossed her arms and sneered, "You talk as if you're such a good person. We're both equally bad. Don't think I didn't see you just now; your eyes were practically glued to her..."
“Zhao Yujia,” the dean said, looking at her with a sinister gaze.
Master Zhao quickly shut her mouth, "Alright, alright, I'll be more careful in the future, okay?"
Ke Meiyu came out of the teaching building, took a deep breath. It was just the time for her afternoon nap, and she sensed the fluctuations in the spatial spirit beast room.
She found a secluded corner and immersed half of her consciousness into the space.
“Yu Bao’er…” My cousin-in-law walked forward with a light laugh, holding up a brightly colored piece of fabric: “Look, this is the fabric I hid in the mountains back then. It’s a rare treasure that I preserved using special methods.”
"Look at this fabric. At first glance, it looks very simple, but it has beautiful subtle patterns, feels good to the touch, and is crisp and stylish. It is especially suitable for this era."
Ke Meiyu was also drawn into the discussion about the fabric of the clothes by her cousin-in-law's emotions.
The two of them scribbled and drew on the table, finally confirming the final costume design.
“Little cousin-in-law,” Ke Meiyu asked curiously, resting her chin on her hand, “You’ve traveled in the mortal realm for so long and seen so much; you must have encountered quite a few ghosts and monsters, right?”
Tao Yuxiang nodded: "That's right, especially before the gates of the Six Realms were closed, ghosts and monsters would often sneak into the human world to play around. Back then, very few people would wander the streets at night, otherwise you would never know whether you were encountering a human or a ghost."
Ke Meiyu couldn't help but recount what had happened to her in the past two days.
Tao Yuxiang frowned and thought for a while before saying, "That formation absorbs the yin energy between heaven and earth, so it will naturally attract many lonely ghosts who cultivate with yin energy, and even imprison them in the formation, making them a kind of prey of the formation."
“Yu Bao’er, you couldn’t see the ghost’s form. First, it’s because the ghost didn’t want to show itself. Second, it’s possible that the formation absorbed too much energy, causing it to lose its form and become something like, well, how should I put it, a kind of ominous aura that affects those who harbor resentment!”
"That dean and Master Zhao have been targeted by vengeful spirits tainted by karma. You can't interfere casually; there's no escaping the cycle of cause and effect in this world," Tao Yuxiang earnestly instructed.
“I won’t get involved,” Ke Meiyu shook her head repeatedly. “Good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished; they certainly deserve to be punished.”
"By the way," Tao Yuxiang asked softly, her face flushed, "Yu Bao'er, do you... do you have any way to help me get pregnant with your cousin's child?"
“I’ve only cultivated for five hundred years. Before I developed nine tails, I’m still considered a fox demon, and I can’t have children with humans.” She said with a slight sense of frustration, “In the countryside, offspring are of paramount importance. Although your cousin said he’s not in a hurry and doesn’t care, and even said that he would accept it if we didn’t have children in this life.”
"But I don't want him to have any regrets in his life because he married me. Also, I want to have a pair of lovely children with him."
Ke Meiyu was stunned. She was a talisman doctor and had hardly ever treated people properly. Why were all the cases she treated people for infertility?
“You and my cousin are from different species, what can I do? Unless he turns into a fox, or you turn into a human!” she said speechlessly.
To everyone's surprise, Tao Yuxiang started thinking about it seriously.
"Sister-in-law, don't do anything rash," Ke Meiyu quickly advised. "I think this is a good idea. Having a child isn't necessary. You can totally adopt one. There's no need for you two to make unnecessary sacrifices just for the sake of a child."
“Adopted children are different from biological children,” Tao Yuxiang shook her head. “I want to experience what it’s like for other ordinary women to be pregnant, and to witness the arrival of a new life with the man I love.”
"I really want to be human. Although human life is short, it is rich and colorful."
Ke Meiyu narrowed her eyes, pulled her younger cousin-in-law up and down, and copied her physical information onto the simulator.
"Let me go back and think about it, but don't get your hopes up too high," she said seriously to her younger cousin-in-law.
"Before that, you're not allowed to have any wicked thoughts." Ke Meiyu couldn't help but admonish her, "Look at you, you've finally grown to five hundred years old and have some means of protecting yourself."
"But once you become a mortal, how will my cousin protect you with that appearance?"
"If you encounter a dangerous situation, will you regret your decision today?"
