Chapter 92 Yin Peach Blossom (22) [Wolf Father is completely like an old father...]
As Xiao Liu said, although Su He was getting impatient waiting when they went out, he did not leave.
On the way back, Xiao Liu took the opportunity to ask Su He for the dictionary. Su He refused, saying, "I'm not your errand boy." Xiao Liu persisted, saying, "You're the most handsome." Su He was annoyed, but Xiao Liu kept pestering her. Finally, Su He gave in and gave in, telling her to shut up. Xiao Liu cheered.
Xiao Liu held the door, spouting a string of praises in a lively manner. Su He slumped her eyes, still looking impatient, but Xie Tan noticed that he didn't interrupt her at all.
Xie Tan raised an eyebrow. Even wolves can play dead sometimes.
"Alright." Su He's expression suddenly changed, and she looked in the direction they had come from.
Xiao Liu also felt the scorching heat, which distorted the air. He peeked out to look, but Su He pushed him by the forehead and led him into the house, locking the door behind him.
"This is none of your business." The boy left quickly, his expression somewhat serious.
Xie Tan and Xiao Liu tried it. He could only stay by her side. If he was far away, he would feel resistance and be drawn towards her, like two magnets within a certain range.
However, he could still move around a bit, so Xie Tan deliberately didn't go inside. He followed Su He for a while and heard him whistle. A small group of tribesmen rushed over from all directions and followed behind him.
When the time came, Xie Tan had also gathered the information and was automatically pulled back to Xiao Liu's side. Xiao Liu stood in the corner so that he could go as far as possible. When he saw him come back, he pulled him back to sit on the bed.
"Is it a mirror?" she asked.
Xie Tan nodded: "The mirror's power surged and burned down the passage between the two stone doors."
Xiao Liu looked puzzled: "That's the esophagus of some monster that the family cut off. It originally grew in a volcano and was resistant to high temperatures, so it was placed there as a passage to swallow intruders. The mirror has shaken many times, but it was fine. How come it was burned this time? Was it all burned away?"
"Yes, one place was burned through, and three floors collapsed. This time the force might be stronger than before. Earthquakes are graded. Wasn't the mirror supposed to be acting strangely today?" Xie Tan only said, "Fortunately, we came back early."
Otherwise, they would have been burned.
Xiao Liu thought about it and figured it had nothing to do with them. She'd walked that road eight hundred times and there was nothing to see there. She was only looking at Xie Tan.
It was Xie Tan's first time here, so she touched it. But that road has swallowed up so many guys who wanted to spy on the Smoke Mirror. She's not a virgin, so what's wrong with touching it? It certainly wasn't because of that.
That's what Xie Tan meant when he said the mirror was causing an unpredictable "earthquake," and this time it was bigger than usual.
She patted her chest and said, "Indeed, it's good to have you."
Xie Tan: "Me?"
"Yes, you came, so I managed to avoid it. You really are my guardian spirit."
Xiao Liu smiled sweetly, and Xie Tan couldn't say a word in rebuttal.
He began to doubt himself. Su He could still put on a brave face, but his resistance to this lively type was... was it a little too low?
After thinking it over, he denied it again. Xi Rui was also very lively, and he just felt annoyed.
It's definitely because Xiao Liu is cute.
...The other one is the same.
Thus, Xie Tan's life as a guardian spirit officially began, but the content was quite simple: he just accompanied Xiao Liu.
Confined indoors with no entertainment, their main activity was storytelling.
Xiao Liu could see his phone and played with it for a while, but unfortunately there was no internet and smartphones didn't have old-fashioned games like Snake, otherwise it could have helped Xiao Liu pass the time.
She accidentally opened a comic app, stared at the phone screen, and remained silent for a long time, so long that Xie Tan's heart started to pound. Could she be reading the comics?
He asked tentatively, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Liu looked up at him and asked hesitantly, "Xiao Qi, do you like boys?"
Xie Tan: "?"
He glanced at his phone, paused, and saw that the comic had been updated.
When he was tied to the Sun Calendar Stone, he mentally called out to the system cat, using the cute creature to distract himself. This should have interrupted the cat's sleep, and since the cat was still asleep, it didn't remind him to update.
The new episode opens with the scenery of Shikiyama and the distant view of the winding Reincarnation Highway. A black Bentley drives on the road, like a tiny insect crawling along the tree rings, living and dying in a day, oblivious to everything.
This page features mostly scenery, with cars passing through various checkpoints, showcasing the Xia family's luxury and wealth; there are hardly any people depicted.
So how did she come to this conclusion?
Xiao Liu, seemingly afraid of offending him but also incredibly curious, asked in a low voice, "Then why are you watching two boys kissing...?"
Xie Tan: "?"
He was certain he had never kissed Lu Jinzhao... wait, why was he the first person to think of?
...That's not important. What's important is that Xiao Liu didn't see the comic content.
Xie Tan recalled that he had experimented with it himself and asked the system cat. When other people looked at the comic app on his phone, the system would randomly display various content to cover up the content of the app.
But who told the system to let... let two boys kiss? He wouldn't watch that kind of stuff at all!
He had confronted the system cat before, but this was the first time he had called out Number 7 in a fit of anger and embarrassment.
Whether the system cat was genuinely asleep or sensed its host's anger, it pretended to be dead again.
"I pressed it by accident." Xie Tan quickly pulled his phone back, mentally rubbing the system cat, but said gently, "It's time to sleep."
Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment, then obediently returned to bed, pulled the covers up, closed her eyes, and remained quiet for a while, as if she were asleep.
Xie Tan had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the girl whisper, "It's okay to like boys."
Xie Tan: "..."
So you weren't actually asleep, you were just mentally preparing yourself, right?
"As long as you're happy." Xiao Liu took his hand, pressed her small face against his, and said in a low voice because she was sleepy, "As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
Xie Tan's expression softened, and he patted her hair: "Want to hear another story?"
Xiao Liu's voice rose slightly at the end: "Yes."
So Xie Tan pulled up an offline document. Thanks to the elevator section, he downloaded the story of Alice in Wonderland and read it softly to the girl.
She would occasionally ask questions based on the storyline, and they would talk in hushed tones. Gradually, she fell silent.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Xie Tan stopped chanting, tucked her in, and moved to the other side of the bed, a spot that Xiao Liu had thoughtfully reserved for him.
He started flipping through the comics.
Since the petal rain at the end of the previous chapter, we've finally gotten to the main topic of Yin Taohua.
Although the people they hired were all exorcists, and Master Yun Song was more enthusiastic than anyone else when he knelt and worshipped the Sun Calendar Stone, he was still very respectable in his daily life. Especially in the luxurious Summer Garden, these people seemed to have automatically entered the arena of fame and fortune, and every laugh of theirs contained restraint and composure.
Unfortunately, what awaits them is Xie Tan, who sees nothing in the world, and Lu Jinzhao, who is like a primary school student on a field trip.
No wonder the male ghost is haunting the young lady; let me marry into this wealthy family!
Living in such a place, having to go up and down the mountain every day, is so tough! Let me do it; I love enduring hardship without any effort.
[A gathering of talents, a meeting of radishes]
[This young master Song is so annoying, is he some kind of ancient evergreen tree that has come to life? The aroma of tea is overflowing.]
[Speaking of Jinjin repeatedly, who are you? Don't get close to the young lady!]
[Two outstanding boys suddenly appeared, making me feel inferior and causing me to see them as my rivals.]
[Young Miss: Ugh, can you please stop breaking up my couple?]
[This could be considered a treacherous peach blossom encounter, the treachery of a villain.]
[Tsk, you get all worked up over the slightest bit of praise, it's endless. Didn't you see that Ah Tan is too lazy to even talk to you? Can you stop being so confident? Some guys...]
While the forum was thoroughly annoyed by Song Zhengxiang, in the comic, the boy gazing out the window at the lush greenery casually turned his head and slightly raised his chin: "Too much nonsense."
His indifferent expression and simple movements exuded an innate sense of disdain.
[Ahhh, a mouth double has appeared, Queen!]
Don't get your fill of yelling at him, yell at me instead, you can even hit me.
[I've already knelt down, it smells so good]
[Don't overthink it, everyone upstairs. Didn't you notice why Atan suddenly responded to the dog's barking? It's because Young Master Tea Fragrance mocked Lu Lu.]
[Ah Tan loves her so much, that's why she protects her like this]
[The young couple is so cute! A-Tan: Don't talk to idiots. Lu-Lu: Nods obediently.]
[Another distinguished guest? Who is it?]
[The Su family... Oh no, is Wolf Daddy coming to kill us? Ah Tan, run! Ahhhhhh!]
[These snobs, I can't take it anymore. Who can slap them, especially that young master and that Taoist priest?]
[If a Taoist priest behaves like this, he should step down and let Rui Rui be the priest. Remember to give him the Taoist certificate too.]
[The wolf dad looks at him with a "So annoying, are you all flies?" Hahahaha]
[Eyes locked, eye locked! Run, little A-Tan! Will Wolf Daddy unleash his ultimate attack right here?]
"...Is this the murderous intent you've been talking about?"
[The wolf father's icy expression melted away; what a dramatic change of heart!]
[Clan leader + forum: Kill, kill, kill; run, run, run]
Wolf Dad: Why didn't you tie your hair up today?
I'm dying of laughter!
[“My juniors” - tsk tsk tsk]
[After saying "half a student," Wolf Dad looked incredibly pleased. A whole night of flattery from a group of people couldn't compare to just one sentence from the young lady's brother.]
Has anyone figured out who is Twelve's surveillance camera? I've been guessing for ages since the last episode ended.
I still can't figure it out.
As Xie Tan had predicted, the male ghost's entanglement with Xia Wujin was presented in Xia Wujin's narration.
Everyone offered suggestions, and even Su He said something, but Xie Tan didn't say anything.
Ah Tan probably noticed the surveillance camera was there, but he shouldn't say anything.
[I already mentioned that movie, it was a really long time ago, a call-back.]
[What happened to the movie? Did the kid not die?]
[Perhaps they are genuinely interested but can't see it, hence the regret. Although it's a trivial matter, it wouldn't be surprising if it were Ah Tan.]
No, Wolf Dad later reminded the young lady's brother that Ah Tan had already told him the key point: that movie just has a problem!
Wolf Dad and Ah Tan clearly know more than others.
[Hahaha, Wolf Dad's expressive face is all on Ah Tan. He's trying to tease the kid, asking Lu Lu if he caught anyone. But when Lu Lu turns to stare at Ah Tan, Wolf Dad's expression changes.]
[The wolf dad, who initially liked Lu Lu, suddenly changed his expression: So, you're trying to steal my little cabbage?]
[The wolf dad is totally like an old father.]
The three little ones are so cute! I bet the young lady and Lulu met through playing games.
[Ah Tan, aren't you going to play? How did you manage to resist?]
[Our gaming team is like this: all we see is the desire to win. Ah Tan is like this: all he wants is to rest.]
[Ahhh, a centipede! Where did this monster come from?! Hey!]
[So that's what Lu Lu and Wolf Dad were watching, right? The one the young master put on.]
Who gave you permission, you monster, to use Lu Lu's face and voice?
[What a funny story! The game "Close Your Eyes When It Gets Dark" is playing, it's like Sadako is playing! Look how scared Lulu is!]
[The centipede with a human face is horrible! And there are a bunch of eggs too. It's giving me trypophobia!]
[Ah Tan called Lu Lu by her full name like that, but the underlying worry is even more intriguing.]
However, doesn't anyone else think Lu Lu looks a bit strange? It has a slightly tea-like flavor. Is it just my imagination?
[Agreed, is LuLu smiling?]
[I especially noticed the centipede-face design. Was it because the environment was too dark and they didn't wear highlighter in its eyes? It was so creepy.]
Even the young lady was scared.
Xie Tan looked at the spot pointed out on the forum. In the comic, just as he was rubbing Lu Jinzhao's head and comforting him, "Don't be afraid," Lu Jinzhao turned his head slightly and looked at the centipede with a human face.
Lu Jinzhao was completely immersed in darkness. His sharp edges seemed to have been melted into the eerie black and white by the bone-dissolving water, shedding a layer of human skin and extending the claws of gods and demons.
His eyes were completely black, devoid of any emotion.
It's far more terrifying than the centipede with the human face laughing at you.
Xie Tan fell silent, looking left and right, seemingly sharing his thoughts with the forum.
[Although... he looks incredibly handsome...]
[So handsome it makes your legs go weak...the kind of weakness that makes you want to kneel down. What kind of possessiveness is this? Just kiss Ah Tan in this state, okay?]
Seeing Xie Tan's ears turn red instantly on the floor below, and then putting his phone down, he realized that wasn't what he was thinking... He wasn't thinking about the handsome guy on the floor above either!
The girl next to him turned over, and Xie Tan froze. He took a deep breath to make sure she wasn't woken by his sudden movement. He calmed down a bit, picked up his phone again, and looked at it expressionlessly.
Where's the tea smell? Where's the ghost smell? Where's the cool factor? Hmm, isn't this just like any other day?
The guy was just scared; he didn't laugh, so the aggressiveness of his facial features was amplified.
That's it.
