C58 (1/2)
After promising to pour a cup of water to me, I reached out to take out the pipe and lit it. ”I don't know what's going on these past few days. Something always happens that caught me off guard.”
Saying that, he took a chair and sat in front of me. He said softly, ”Big Brother Liu, I feel that you have changed. You aren't as cheerful as you were when I met you.”
”Is that so? People change. ” I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke ring. ”I'm going out tonight. Help me take care of Guan Rou.”
He promised softly, ”I didn't expect you to be so concerned about Sister Guan Rou.”
I smiled but didn't say anything. I tapped the pipe against the corner of the table twice. ”You'll understand when you have a boyfriend.”
I got up and walked out of the paper packing shop. Tang Yufeng was right, I was afraid that only Mu Hua could deal with the ghost in the Jade Bone Brush. But how am I supposed to explain this to her?
In the blink of an eye, one day had passed and the sky gradually darkened. We closed the shop and waited for Guan Rou to join us. We found a restaurant and sat down to eat.
”You two go back first, I have some things to take care of.”
Guan Rou asked me softly, ”What happened? Are you going to handle Zhao Ying's matter?”
I nodded. ”That's right. I can wait, but I'm afraid that Chu Lingyun won't be able to.”
Chu Lingyun's situation was quite serious. Tang Yufeng had said that it would take at most five days. If Chu Lingyun's soul was not retrieved within those five days, then there would be danger.
”How about I go with you? It's not appropriate to always stay at home. I used to be busy when I had a job, but now I'm suddenly not used to being idle.”
”I want to go too …” It's so boring to have me at home all the time. ” As soon as I heard that, I decided to take the two of them along. I drove to the bar with Guan Rou and her promise, but as soon as I entered the bar, I heard a deafening noise.
”Didn't you say that you're going to look for a soul? Why did you come here?”
”I came looking for a friend to help me with.” The three of us found a spot to sit down and casually ordered two bottles of drinks. This was the time when those who loved the nightlife would go crazy.
”This place is filled with smoke. Let's go.” I glanced at the dance floor and saw a familiar figure.
I whispered, ”If you two feel bored, you can head back first. I'll go greet my friend.”
I got up and walked onto the dance floor, moving behind Muhua. I didn't call her, I just wanted to see what she wanted to do. Mu Hua was currently hugging a handsome guy. That handsome guy's hands weren't obedient as he moved around Mu Hua's back.
Mu Hua whispered into the handsome guy's ear. Afterwards, the two walked out of the dance floor and out of the bar. I waved my hand at Guan Rou and promised to get them to come over.
”You two go back first, I'll be back in a while.” I stopped a car and helped the two of them into the car. ”Don't worry about me, I'll be back in a while.”
I was relieved to see them ride back. I turned around and followed Mu Hua and the handsome guy. Mu Hua brought the man to a dark alley.
”Come on... ”Hurry up and kiss me …”
”Why did you come here? It's not convenient to be in such a dark place.” The two of them walked to the corner of the wall and started to speak in an ambiguous manner, causing goosebumps to appear on my skin.
”Ah …” Suddenly, the man let out a low growl. The veins on his face bulged and he looked to be in extreme pain.
”Save... ”Help!” Mu Hua stretched out his hand and pushed, tossing the man away. He then stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, an expression of enjoyment on his face.
”So powerful …” I walked over and looked at the corpse in the corner. ”How does this man smell?” Mu Hua looked at me and said, ”Why did you come with me?” I softly said, ”I went to the dance floor to find you. I didn't expect that you would actually seduce a man.” ”What happened? Did you come today to take care of me?” Mu Hua looked at me warily, his body emitting a sinister aura. ”I can see that your cultivation experience isn't enough to deal with me. You can't even take a single blow from me.” I smiled and said, ”Didn't you say that we were friends? Originally, I should have executed you for killing humans. But today, I want to cooperate with you.”
”Cooperate with me? Your wishful thinking is really good. ” Mu Hua sneered, then said to me, ”If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush with me.”
”Shall we talk somewhere else?” When I looked at that man's corpse, I felt a little disgusted. That man's corpse had already been sucked dry of its blood and essence by Mu Hua. It seemed to have aged several decades in an instant, turning into a scrawny old man.
