A Yue ghost has lived for thousands of years and has been studying and practicing hard underground. He rarely gets involved in worldly affairs, so his personality is very simple.
What she hated most was that someone took advantage of this to make fun of her and trample on her sincerity.
The two people opposite just hit her sore spot.
Seeing a gust of cold wind blowing up from the ground, the cups and plates on the table began to shake. If it continued, the whole venue would be in trouble in the afternoon. Ye Lan sighed softly.
"I told you to leave, but you refused to leave."
Now, it's too late.
She put down what she was holding and snapped her fingers in the void.
Pop.
In an instant, an illusion spread out along the sofa, forming an independent little world, blocking the sight and attention of the outside world.
Afterwards, she picked up her fork again and ate her dessert slowly and leisurely while enjoying the farce of the red-dressed female ghost clinging to the two socialites and running around the place.
Five minutes later, the illusion disappeared.
The two celebrities first looked at everything around them in a trance, then climbed onto the sofa screaming, "There's a ghost!"
The two of them didn't care about wearing their skirts and hung on the armrests of the sofa, crying loudly and even wet their pants on the spot. The scene was very funny for a while.
Later, their parents rushed over and took them to the hospital. As to whether they should go to the psychology department or the psychiatric department, there is probably still some room for discussion.
"Hmph, if the tiger doesn't show its power, it will treat me like Hello Kitty!" Ah Yue snorted, sat down and continued to eat. After exercising, she also felt 'hungry'.
Seeing that she was so hungry that she wanted to gnaw on the plate, Ye Lan tossed her a medicine bottle from his pocket and said, "One pill a day."
Before the bottle cap was opened, A Yue smelled the strong yin energy in it, which was the favorite thing of ghosts.
She couldn't help swallowing her saliva, but she didn't reach out to take it. She shook her head and said, "I won't eat it. It will make my Yin energy worse. If I get close to Chen Zhexi, I'll hurt him."
Humans and ghosts have different paths, and their being together violates the rules of both the Yin and Yang worlds.
Now, A Yue is consciously restraining herself from absorbing Yin energy. On the one hand, she is working hard to improve her skills in order to become a ghost immortal as soon as possible and completely control her ghost energy, so that she can be completely at ease with Chen Zhexi.
So she has been hungry lately.
Ye Lan is her contract master, how could he not sense this.
Hearing this, he did not take the things back, but pushed them a little further and said calmly: "These are just made from Yinling grass, there are no side effects."
"Yin Ling Grass?" Ah Yue's eyes widened instantly, and she gasped. She quickly picked up the bottle, opened the cap, and took a whiff. The rich smell made her squint. "It's said that Yin Ling Grass grows in extremely dark places, deep under the abyss, and is guarded by countless poisonous insects and birds. It's worth a fortune. How did you find it?"
"Money makes the world go round." Ye Lan made a wise remark.
In fact, when she figured out the marriage bond between A Yue and Chen Zhexi, she bought Yin Ling grass on X and refined it into pills.
The relationship between the Shikigami and its master is one of mutual assistance and mutual achievement. If she accepts A Yue, she will treat her well. Similarly, if she can stop eating living creatures and cultivate into an immortal in the future, it will be of great benefit to Ye Lan.
"Oh, you are so nice, Ye Lan. I don't want a big house anymore. Yin Ling grass is enough for me!" Ah Yue no longer hesitated. After happily eating the pill, the instant feeling of fullness made her so happy that she half leaned on the sofa and sighed.
Ye Lan shook his head, feeling that this Ghost King who had practiced for thousands of years was actually still like a child.
But on second thought, it was this kind of character that made Chen Zhexi worried.
Remembering the ghost cultivation book that the young man had taken from her in the afternoon, avoiding everyone else, she could only sigh: Nothing in the world is difficult for those who set their minds to it.
Perhaps it was because the farce here just now was too conspicuous, so Ye Lan and A Yue received more attention now.
In the time it took to make one dessert, three or four groups of people came to inquire about them, and some even handed over their business cards.
"We said we were from Jiangcheng, so why are you giving us business cards? Are you going to use them as firewood when you get home?" Ah Yue picked up a fancy card that was actually useless and threw it into the collective recycling bin.
Ye Lan recalled the meaningful looks from those people, then looked around and his expression suddenly turned cold. "They are not doing this for us, but for Xiao Yunting."
"Ah?" Ah Yue opened her mouth, "Has your identity been exposed?"
"No." Ye Lan shook her head and denied that these people approached her deliberately because they found out she was Xiao's adopted daughter. She added in a cold and indifferent tone, "They are betting on who will be the future mistress of the Xiao family."
This banquet seemed to be a birthday celebration, but in fact more than half of the attendees were single women of marriageable age. The purpose was self-evident.
Ye Lan felt a sudden blockage in his chest for no reason, and even lost the desire to eat.
At this time, Gu Shiqin, who had just made things difficult for them at the front desk on the first floor, came over again.
"It seems you've collected quite a few business cards." Holding a glass of champagne, she glanced condescendingly at the trash can, then shifted her gaze to Ye Lan's face with a reserved smile. "Fortunately, you have self-awareness and know that someone like Xiao Yunting is not someone you can reach. The future mistress of the Xiao family will rely on more than just a face."
These words were full of disparagement for Ye Lan, who came from an unremarkable background and was not very old.
Originally, Ye Lan always took these things lightly, and they would not affect her at all. But now she felt that every word was harsh, making her a little restless and irritable.
So she spat out a word coldly from between her teeth.
"roll."
Gu Shiqin hadn't expected her to be so direct. After a second of hesitation, her brows furrowed. "What qualifications do you have to talk to me like that? Apologize, or I'll make you pay for it today."
The noble ladies in the imperial capital all flattered her and greeted her with smiles, but now she was being confronted by a girl from a small place.
How could she, the daughter of the wealthy Gu family, swallow this insult?!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of retreating, Ye Lan slowly put down the fork in his hand.
clatter.
The silver fork made a slight sound as it hit the porcelain.
Ah Yue, who was standing by, shuddered, hugged her small arms tightly, and looked up at Gu Shiqin and said, "This guy has an even worse temper than me. You're going to be in big trouble."
After saying this, he took the initiative to distance himself from the girl to avoid being implicated.
Gu Shiqin didn't understand what was going on and thought she was just trying to fool people. She raised her chin and continued provocatively, "Oh, I want to see what you can do. I'll have the security come in and carry you out right now. I'll make you the laughing stock of the entire capital. From now on, there will be no banquets except for me."
As she said this, she immediately raised her head and was about to call for help.
Just at this moment, a voice mixed with a hint of teasing sounded from behind.
"Oh, I saw Miss Gu showing off her prowess here right away. Let me come and listen to what's going on."
Gu Shiqin turned around and saw the person coming. Her brows furrowed even more tightly, and she said in a bad tone, "Zhang Xiaoxiao, we are not interfering with each other. What are you doing here now?"
"Nothing." Zhang Xiaoxiao, also wearing a high-end evening gown and looking like a swan, strode to the sofa area and automatically stood beside Ye Lan. She pointed at her and said with a smile: "This is my sister. I came to see her."
