"You're definitely not an ordinary little kid."
The armored demon noticed Lin Wanyue's sudden alertness and spoke with a hint of amusement in its voice.
This little kid, who looks no more than four or five years old, is so wary.
Seeing that he didn't actually want her to help him fulfill his last wish, yet he kept circling around her house and wouldn't leave, Lin Wanyue's little face unconsciously puffed up.
"Grandpa, if you don't have anything else to do, why don't you go back up the mountain first? My temple is small, and other people will be coming later. It wouldn't be good if they saw us." Lin Wanyue tactfully gave him the hint to leave.
However, the armored demon seemed not to hear him and continued to walk around the Lin family's courtyard before slowly saying, "I don't know why, but I feel that there is a familiar aura in your house."
Alarm bells rang in Lin Wanyue's mind.
This is her house, a newly built house!
Could this guy be saying this in an attempt to steal my house?
The last person who seemed familiar was Jia Baoyu, and then he wanted to snatch Lin Daiyu and take her home as his wife.
Lin Wanyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and several powerful talismans had quietly appeared in her sleeves.
"Grandpa, are you sure you're not mistaken? This house is newly built by my family. You've been gone for who knows how many years. This house definitely has nothing to do with you."
"Besides, aren't all the houses in the world pretty much the same?" Lin Wanyue earnestly advised, "And if you really like it, why don't you build another one just like it on the mountain? Anyway, there's plenty of space on the mountain, so no one will be competing with you for it."
“It’s different, it’s different… What I’m looking for is…” The armored demon shook his head, but didn’t finish his sentence.
He walked around the Lin family's courtyard several times, step by step, and even tried to push the door open, but Lin Wanyue stopped him at the door of his grandmother's room.
"Grandpa, I can see you're quite capable. Forcibly breaking into a private residence is unacceptable. This is my house!" Lin Wanyue emphasized once again.
Little Pink Butterfly and Laifu watched in fear, terrified that Lin Wanyue would really anger this big ghost.
They don't know if they'll have the guts to go up and help.
After all, the aura emanating from this armored demon was far too powerful, like Mount Tai pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.
But after spending so many days together, the two of them had long since come to regard Lin Wanyue as their own family.
They couldn't possibly stand by and watch Lin Wanyue be bullied by other ghosts.
It's so difficult, really so difficult!
The little pink butterfly silently took out its axe, then quickly put it away.
Finally, he took out his newly practiced club and stuffed it into Laifu's hand.
Lai Fu: "..."
"Ah..." Laifu looked around awkwardly, "I...I'm going to swat mosquitoes, there are just too many mosquitoes lately!"
The armored demon was stopped at the door by Lin Wanyue, but he didn't force his way in. Instead, he opened the door to another room.
Lin Wanyue stood in the yard and watched him walk around her house several times, but he still didn't stop.
Could it be that he really only has his eye on my house?
To deal with such a powerful ghost, especially one that had previously driven away ghost messengers, Lin Wanyue estimated that ordinary talismans would be of little use.
Considering that this house only cost a few dozen taels of silver to build, if I were to get hurt, it would mean losing the money I made!
After some thought, Lin Wanyue felt that she was more valuable.
Letting the armored demon roam around the house, Lin Wanyue took Little Pink Butterfly and Laifu back to her room and ate some of her favorite snacks.
Oh well, as long as he doesn't have any bad intentions, she'll turn a blind eye.
Not long after, the courtyard gate was opened.
"Wanwan, I'm here!" Zhou's wife called out from outside when she saw the light on in Lin Wanyue's room. "I'll sleep in your main room for now. Remember to call me if anything happens."
"Hey!" Lin Wanyue opened the window and said to her, "Thank you, Auntie. I'm fine here. Why don't you go back and rest?"
Lin Wanyue glanced at the armored demon that wasn't too far from her.
He stopped and looked in Lin Wanyue's direction.
"Oh!" Zhou's wife quickly said with a smile, "No need, no need! I sleep quite comfortably here at your house. It's not as cramped as at home. I don't know why, but there isn't a single mosquito here. I sleep very soundly."
"Alright then, thank you for your help, Auntie!" Lin Wanyue said with a smile as she closed the window.
Little Pink Butterfly and Laifu asked worriedly from the side, "Wanbao, is that ghost really alright? I feel creeped out just looking at him."
Lin Wanyue shrugged her shoulders: "I don't know either. Why don't you guys stay at the villa first? I'll sleep here tonight."
Lin Wanyue didn't know if the armored demon outside would cause any trouble.
"No need for that, Wanwan, you should go to sleep first, we'll protect you!" Little Pink Butterfly immediately said.
"By the way," Laifu asked, "Wanwan, I see you have quite a few powerful talismans. Why don't you just kill him?"
Lin Wanyue sighed and said, "Although we are not very familiar with him and do not know what kind of ghost he is, he did save me after all, and I cannot repay kindness with enmity."
"Besides, in a couple of days at most, once the formation in our village is repaired, he won't want to stay here anymore!"
"So powerful? It can even drive away such a powerful demon?" Little Pink Butterfly asked in surprise.
