Chapter 70: Your Family Heirloom? (1/2)

It scared Tang Doudou to the point her face turned pale. She pulled the man next to her over and squeezed into the vendor’s booth to hide.

“Hey, weren’t you going to pawn the gemstone? What are you hiding back here for?” The man was speechless as he looked at her expression which was so scared it seemed as if she had just seen a ghost. “Did you see a ghost?”

Unexpectedly, Tang Doudou nodded abruptly several times to this question which had been asked as a joke. “Yeah, I saw a ghost!”

The man lifted his hand to cover his forehead. If it weren’t for that Blue Ice Essence Soul Stone, he would have already chased this guy away.

“Hey, take a look for me. Is that male ghost in red over in that corner gone?” Tang Doudou asked after hiding for quite a while. The man next to Tang Doudou had even started yawning repeatedly so Tang Doudou jabbed his waist.

“What hey!? Ben xiaoye, I, have a name! Lou Qingyun! That’s ben xiaoye’s name!”

“Yes yes yes. Lou Qingyun, Lou Qingyun, whatever!”

“And, brat, didn’t your parents ever teach you that your tone should be more polite when asking someone for a favor?” Lou Qingyun said lightly whilst the corners of his mouth hooked up nefariously.

Tang Doudou’s cheeks puffed up. She rather hated the way this person talked and decided to just not ask him anymore. She sneakily poked her head out from behind the vendor’s booth.

After poking her head halfway out, Tang Doudou’s eyes swept across the street. Joy immediately emerged on her flushed face. Looks like that evil spirit was just making an occasionally appearance and hadn’t been coming for her.

Thinking to here, Tang Doudou loosened a breath in relief. She was just about to stand up when a familiar enticing voice entered her ears, “Is Xueyi playing hide-and-seek? You really have a lot of interests ah.”

Tang Doudou’s soul was scared flying by this voice that suddenly appeared next to her ears. She was startled to the point her entire body broke out in cold sweat. Da fudge, did he think he was a real ghost? To move behind someone’s back noiselessly like this, it was too scary!

“Ahem.” Tang Doudou retreated backwards a little, not daring to turn around and look. “You, you… why are you here?”

Slender fingers extended and with a practiced motion tilted her chin up. Today, Baili Yu was once again wearing a flirtatious crimson garment and his fine black hair spilled down like a waterfall over his shoulders. “What? You’re not happy to see me?”

His light lifting motion in addition to his magnetic charming voice caused a red flush to immediately emerge on Tang Doudou’s face. However, once her head cleared and she recalled that they were on the streets, she hastily said, “There are still matters in the Alliance Head Residence so I’ll leave first! Goodbye!”

After she said that, she rubbed oil on the soles of her feet and moved to slip away.

“But I just came from the Alliance Head Residence and there didn’t seem to be any matters.” As Baili Yu spoke, he released her and gently chuckled. Following that, he pulled her into his arms. “You came out to take a stroll and didn’t even call me to come along. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get angry?”

“Earlier was earlier, now is now. I have to head back. Baili gongzi, do as you please!” As Tang Doudou spoke, she tried to forcefully struggle free. Even though half a month had already passed, Tang Doudou still didn’t have any ways to deal with Baili Yu. She was extremely afraid that she wouldn’t be able to resist her impulse to bite him to freaking death. If it weren’t for the fact that she was worried about her little life, she would have already done so!

Lou Qingyun who was at the side gaped. Earlier, he didn’t see Baili Yu’s figure clearly because he was far away. By the time Tang Doudou asked him to look, that person had already disappeared. Right afterwards, he appeared behind the two. That movement was fast to the point it caused people to open their eyes wide in tongue-tied speechlessness. What caused him to be even more astonished was that the so-called male ghost dressed in red was actually Baili Yu!

When he saw the two exchanged words in such an ambiguous manner, his head buzzed with even more echoes. He never thought that the brat was actually the main character of the news that was going around everywhere: Li Xueyi!

Meow a mii! He said he just came from the Alliance Head Residence. Didn’t that mean he came out right after her!?

Hearing the displeasure in her voice, Baili Yu asked again in a soft voice, “Who made you unhappy? Tell me, I’ll teach them a lesson for you!”

Something’s not right ah. Upon noticing that Baili Yu’s tone of voice was different from that of the past, Tang Doudou looked again at today’s Baili Yu. He seemed much more spirited and didn’t give off the languid feeling he did before. His complexion was also much better. The only thing that didn’t change was his peach flower eyes that carried a trace of a smile, which caused people to be unable to tear their eyes away.

After half a month, this evil spirit seemed to have become quite a bit prettier again!

If she didn’t look, she wouldn’t have known. However, once she started examining him, she couldn’t move her eyes away. Who asked for her to be a standard beauty lover!?

“It’s only been half a month since we’ve seen each other, how did you end up becoming dumb? If you keep staring, your eyeballs are going to fall out!” Baili Yu chuckled again and reached out to stroke Tang Doudou’s head before bending his fingers to knock her forehead. Then, he turned and said to Lou Qingyun, “Lou family’s eldest son? Why are you here on the streets setting up a vendor’s stall?”

Following that, his gaze landed on that antique lamp. She really wants this?

As expected, her interests were different from those of usual girls. Other girls all like things like rouge and jewelry. However, when she strolled on the streets, if she wasn’t looking at food, then she was staring at odd little toys like this.

From the looks of it, she wanted to buy this lamp. He finally could not continue to just watch when she actually took out the Blue Ice Essence Soul Stone. However, just as he was going to head over, she actually hid away. She’s seriously a dumb woman!

Did she really think he was just passing by incidentally?

Or was it that she thought he had bad eyesight and didn’t manage to see her?

She’s really amusingly cute.

Lou Qingyun recovered from his shook and looked, bewildered, at the two in front of him. “You, you two…”

“It’s quite an elaborate antique lamp.” Baili Yu picked up that antique lamp and swayed it in front of Tang Doudou. Following that, he asked Lou Qingyun, “How much?”
