Chapter 42: Leer
Chapter 42
Lin Zaozao looked awkwardly at Ye Yi's suspicious eyes, smiled embarrassedly at him, then got up and started looking around his room.
Except for a bed, Ye Yi's room had only the new wardrobe and table and chairs she had bought today, plus quite a few bones hanging on the walls.
Lin Zaozao walked to the wall and looked at the animal bones hanging on it. She tilted her head and stared at them carefully, but could not figure out what kind of bones they were.
Lin Zaozao looked back doubtfully at Ye Yi, then at the bones on the wall again.
In an instant, a bold idea came to her mind.
"Ye Yi, with so many bones hanging in your room, could it be that you use them to summon spirits?!"
Hearing Lin Zaozao's words, Ye Yi looked back at her with a puzzled expression.
"Oh! I mean, you hold the bones, face someone, and go 'Heaven ling ling, earth ling ling, Supreme Elder come manifest spirit', to tell fortunes and summon spirits, right?!"
Ye Yi watched as Lin Zaozao held a beast bone and jumped around on the ground. At that moment, a smile spilled from his eyes.
"Aha! Seeing you laugh means I'm right."
Ye Yi nodded seriously. He walked over to Lin Zaozao, took the bone from her hand, then stroked it and a blue flame ignited from the bone.
Under Lin Zaozao’s astonished gaze, Ye Yi waved his hand and the kerosene lamp that had been burning in the room instantly went out.
So in the darkness, Lin Zaozao instantly felt a chill running down her back, striking her cerebral cortex directly.
Oh my god! Don’t tell me Ye Yi really summoned a ghost!
Lin Zaozao hugged herself and looked in Ye Yi's direction.
She wish she hadn't looked.
She saw Ye Yi standing in the dark holding the burning bone, smiling at her ominously.
Just as a scream was about to erupt from Lin Zaozao's throat, the room lit up again.
In the dim lamplight, even Ye Yi's smile became much gentler.
Even so, Lin Zaozao still felt his room had become creepy in an instant. Plus the bones hanging on the walls, she felt as if a ghost had set its sights on her.
Oh my mommy! He scared her to death.
"Ye Yi, I've been walking all day, I have to go back and rest."
Without waiting for Ye Yi to answer, Lin Zaozao weakly touched her back, felt nothing there, then dragged her plump body and ran swiftly out the door.
Only after she was out the door did she finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
Oh my! This Ye Yi guy, how can his profession be so creepy! He almost scared her to death just now.
Thinking of her good little brothers Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan still inside Ye Yi's room, Lin Zaozao didn’t have the courage to go back and save them.
You two take care of yourselves! After all, you two are not simple either, and that spirit summoner Ye Yi is not simple either.
Why don’t you three slowly battle it out tonight!
She was a coward, so she’ll have to decline.
Oh my! Ye Yi almost scared her guts out.
After calming her racing heart, Lin Zaozao shakily walked to her own room, legs jiggling.
Back inside his room, Ye Yi smiled at Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan lying on the bed, then waved his hand over the burning bone. 𝚏𝗿𝗲ew𝐞b𝐧o𝚟𝚎𝗹.com
In an instant, the fire on the bone went out.
With a flick of his palm the oil lamp also went out.
Watching Ye Yi's sneaky tricks, a trace of contempt flashed through the golden-blue eyes of Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan.
Such petty tricks could only fool the inexperienced Lin Zaozao. If it was put in front of others, it would only be laughable.
But it was just as well, scaring away that fat girl Lin Zaozao, which also avoided them accidentally hurting her if they lost control of themselves at night.
After all, the chubby Lin Zaozao had promised to be their sister for life!
Having returned to her room, Lin Zaozao patted her chest then couldn’t help but become more afraid of Ye Yi.
Ye Yi looked so good, how could he be a charlatan? Moreover, he was quite skilled as a spirit summoner.
Otherwise, where did the fire on the bone come from? And just now, she had clearly felt the chill behind her back.
Now there was a real charlatan at home. As a fake charlatan, could she still call herself a spirit summoner in front of him?
After calming down, Lin Zaozao picked up the package Murong Hai had left on her bed and opened it. Apart from the white underwear, the outerwear was pitch black.
She pinched the flesh on her belly and sighed helplessly.
[System, today I transferred the pain and sickness from five people. Not counting the Marrow-Washing Liquid I gave Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan to drink, I still have three drops left. Now give me all of that plus the level two Beauty Liquid you added. Let me drink them.]
[Host, the level one Marrow-Washing Liquid cannot be taken with the level two Beauty Liquid. Of the two, you can only choose one. Also, I solemnly tell you now that any rewards you don't use by the end of today will automatically become invalid.]
[Fu-]
[Host, swearing at the System leads to unprecedented damage to the System's spirit. Therefore, all your rewards today are confiscated.]
After the System finished, Lin Zaozao's mind became peaceful again. Lin Zaozao blankly sat on the edge of the bed, trying to call the dog System back.
But the dog System actually pretended to be dead.
"Damn your ancestors, dog System! Were you a robber in your previous life? Just because I swore a little, you confiscated all my rewards. If you didn't want to give them to me, just say so directly! Yet you went ahead and made up a reason. Damn you, you're just a single-celled organism. Oh no, you can't even count as a single cell, those Marrow-Washing Liquid and Beauty Liquids are useless to you!"
Lin Zaozao slapped the bed, twisting her features in anger. During the day, she had almost gotten her eyeballs gouged out by that snake of a young master for that one drop of level two Beauty Liquid.
Yet now the dog System had confiscated her rewards!
Thinking of this, Lin Zaozao almost cursed out loud. If the System could take physical form, Lin Zaozao would have bitten it to death already.
Just as Lin Zaozao was fuming, Ruo Qiu's voice came from outside the door.
"Lin Zaozao, can I stay with you tonight?"
Hearing Ruo Qiu's words, the anger on Lin Zaozao's face instantly disappeared without a trace.
What was with Ruo Qiu, asking to stay with her?
Could it be...because of the bed she just bought?
But Ruo Qiu wouldn't do this just for a new bed, would he?
Just as Lin Zaozao was eyeing the bed, filled with suspicion towards Ruo Qiu, he spoke again.
"Lin Zaozao, can I come in?"
"Oh! Come on in, there's not even a door here anyway, just a tattered straw curtain. Come right in."
As soon as Lin Zaozao finished speaking, Ruo Qiu pushed the door open and entered. Lin Zaozao carefully looked over Ruo Qiu as he walked in and sat on the edge of the bed, hoping to find some clue.
Could Ruo Qiu have been possessed by a ghost? Otherwise, why would he throw himself at her in the middle of the night? Most importantly, wasn't Ruo Qiu deaf? How did he know she agreed to let him in just now?
Just as Lin Zaozao stared suspiciously at Ruo Qiu, he had already taken off his shoes and lay down on the inside of the bed.
Seeing Ruo Qiu lying on her bed, Lin Zaozao’s mind was in chaos.
Usually she was always saying she wanted to consummate marriage with her five handsome husbands, but she knew clearly in her heart that they would never fancy her. She only said those things to disgust them.
But now her beautiful little fourth husband was lying on her bed and batting his eyelashes at her flirtatiously.
So should she get in the bed or not get in the bed?
Seeing Lin Zaozao's hesitation, a smile flashed through Ruo Qiu's eyes. Ye Yi was really overthinking things. As for the fat girl Lin Zaozao, she only dared to talk big in front of them.
Now that the critical moment had arrived, look, she retreated, didn’t she?
Just as Ruo Qiu was complacently patting himself on the back, he saw Lin Zaozao kick off her shoes and plunge right onto the bed towards him.
When Lin Zaozao's heavy body pressed against Ruo Qiu, Ruo Qiu, whose face still wore a smile that had not yet faded, was frightened by her sudden action, her eyes wide open.
This dead woman Lin Zaozao, she was serious about this.
