Chu Danfeng was so shocked that he almost burst out with anger.
But he didn't dare to alert the enemy, so he whispered to Hua Tingxuan: "Constrain your breath and follow."
The two men concealed their bodies and followed her all the way, watching Aunt Huang return to her bedroom by passing through the wall. After Aunt Huang returned to her room, they observed her for a long time and did not hear any other movement. She seemed to have fallen asleep again.
Chu Danfeng felt uneasy: "So... we are staying at a ghost's house?"
This is so scary! This part is not written in the original book at all. Thinking of finding a ghost landlord who knows nothing about her, Chu Danfeng felt a chill on his back.
A pair of warm and dry hands suddenly held his, "Little Brother, don't be afraid."
"Who's afraid? I'm just checking the situation." Chu Danfeng retorted subconsciously, but he didn't pull his hand away. He timidly let Hua Tingxuan hold it.
At this moment, if he was not so frightened, and had paid a little attention to Hua Tingxuan, he would have found that the boy had a smile on his face and did not have the slightest respect for the "scary ghost landlord".
"Little Senior Brother, it seems that there is nothing else. Shall we go back to the room?"
Chu Danfeng opened his mouth, opened it again, gritted his teeth, and said with all his might: "Tingxuan, I think we should sleep in separate rooms."
Where there are ghosts, there are ghosts! Aren’t all the people in Luofeng Secret Realm ghosts
At worst, he could set up a barrier and paste ghost-repelling talismans all over it. As a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, how could he be afraid of ghosts
Chu Danfeng felt that Hua Tingxuan's hand holding his was stiff for a moment, but in the thick darkness, he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Somehow, at this moment, Chu Danfeng felt a familiar fear in his heart, as if the young man in front of him was the same crazy and stubborn "ungrateful person" from his previous life.
The silence was stretched to infinity. Chu Danfeng trembled uncontrollably before he heard Hua Tingxuan speak again. His voice returned to his usual aggrieved tone, and he said coquettishly, "Junior Brother, do you hate Xuan'er so much?"
Chu Danfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was overthinking. He calmed down his emotions and said earnestly: "Of course I don't hate you. I just think that you have grown up and you can't rely on Senior Brother for the rest of your life. Besides... I was wrong about that thing, and it will never happen again. Senior Brother promised you that he would compensate you."
Hua Tingxuan: "Brother keeps talking about compensation, but he won't even sleep with me."
Chu Danfeng was firm: "Only this one thing is not allowed!"
Hua Tingxuan: "Then what about your 'cauldron body'?"
Chu Danfeng: "Didn't you buy a lot of medicine in the Monster Market? It's specially used to suppress the aura of the Dinglu body."
Hua Tingxuan lied with his eyes open: "It's been too long, I can't find it."
Over the years, Chu Danfeng had been taken care of by Hua Tingxuan, and had been lazy for a long time. He was used to being a hands-off boss, and many small and miscellaneous items were handled and kept by his junior fellow apprentice.
Chu Danfeng knew that he was talking nonsense, but he was at a loss for what to do. Just as he was about to scold him like a 'senior brother', he heard a scream.
It should be the wing room a few steps away.
Hua Tingxuan: "It's Li Yunyi!"
The two of them didn't hesitate at all, just exchanged a glance, and then rushed into Li Yunyi's room without hesitation. As soon as they opened the door, they smelled a strong stench.
In the thatched hut, besides Li Yunyi, there was another familiar face, the "beggar" seen during the day. The "beggar" who was buried in his head heard the noise and turned his dirty, pale face. He opened his mouth, and the gaps between his teeth and the corners of his mouth were all covered with scarlet blood.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Chu Danfeng still felt weak in the knees when he saw this face. Fortunately, he managed to hold on to the door frame so as not to embarrass himself in front of his junior brother.
Hua Tingxuan was afraid that this man would run away, so he added extra restrictions on the rope, making it impossible for him to fly out of the room even if he had wings. Now the rope has become a "life rope".
Li Yunyi was tied up tightly with the rope like a piece of fat meat that couldn't move, which made it convenient for the starving ghost to have the "buffet".
"Why did you come just now? Ah wuwuwu! Help me!" Li Yunyi cried with tears and snot, but he still had enough breath.
Chu Danfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief - he couldn't die, he had to keep him to exchange for Fang Qingya.
"I'm so hungry, please have pity on me and give me something to eat." The starving ghost muttered and bit Li Yunyi again.
Chu Danfeng immediately took out his natal bamboo-bone peach blossom fan, but before he could make a move, a flash of sword light appeared, and the starving ghost's body twisted. The whimpering sound disappeared in an instant. The sword was so clean and decisive that the ghost was reduced to ashes.
Oh shit!
The original book clearly states how difficult this thing is to deal with, but it was solved in one go!
As expected of the male lead, this fighting ability! How can it be described by the word "awesome"? !
Although Li Yunyi did not suffer fatal injuries, he was bitten hard by the starving ghost and several pieces of his flesh were torn off. It was a horrible sight.
Chu Danfeng sighed, "These starving ghosts are the resentment of people who starved to death. Whenever there is a disaster or famine, such monsters are likely to appear. Because they suffer from hunger, they will even eat maggots and feces. When they see a living person, they will go up to beg for food. In fact, they don't ask for much. Just give them a bite to eat and they will send them off. If you insist on not giving them anything, they may play a prank. But if you are like Li Yunyi, who not only refuses to give alms but also beats you up, they will retaliate."
"They, they are too vengeful!" Li Yunyi cried out loudly, but even though he was reduced to such a miserable state, he still retained the habit of being a young master and ordered, "Why don't you treat my wounds quickly?"
Chu Danfeng's eyelids jumped, and he was about to teach him to put himself in the right position, when he heard Li Yunyi continue to make arrangements: "Also, you can't leave me alone anymore. This secret realm is so dangerous, at least someone needs to look after me. I think, let Miss Chu stay to protect me."
Hua Tingxuan: “?!”
"..." Chu Danfeng was a little shaken. This was a good idea. He could legitimately separate from Hua Tingxuan, but...
"Junior Brother, it stinks here," Hua Tingxuan interrupted with his eyebrows lowered. "He smells like a starving ghost. He's dirty and smelly, and covered in blood. How can you stand it? Leave the rough work of healing to me. Junior Brother, go to the door and get some fresh air first."
The smell in the room was indeed bad. Chu Danfeng almost couldn't breathe after staying there for a while. In the end, he followed Hua Tingxuan's advice and hid out for the time being.
While closing the door, Hua Tingxuan set up a soundproof barrier. His facial expression was expressionless and he looked at Li Yunyi grimly.
"!!" Li Yunyi, "... you you what do you want to do!"
"I'll heal your wounds." Hua Tingxuan, "Also, I'll teach you what to say and what not to say."
"… "
After about a cup of tea, Hua Tingxuan came out refreshed, "Junior Brother, he only has some superficial injuries, nothing serious. Although the starving ghost has already died, I still reinforced the barrier and pasted a ghost-repelling talisman. It should be safe now."
I have to say that Hua Tingxuan handled this matter very properly and thoroughly.
But then he had no reason to stay.
"Junior brother, it's getting late and Xuan'er is sleepy." The young man pulled at the corner of his clothes and acted coquettishly.
"..." Chu Danfeng also felt that if he continued to argue, it would be daybreak, and it would be inappropriate to continue arguing with his sixth junior brother. However, he was still unwilling to accept the fact that he had not completed the 'room allocation plan'.
The inky night sky was faded away by the evening breeze at some point. The dark clouds were like ink scattered into water, dispersing lightly to reveal a crescent moon.
Under the moonlight, Hua Tingxuan's eyebrows were deep and handsome, and his dark phoenix eyes looked at him stubbornly and expectantly, and said pitifully: "Little Senior Brother."
Chu Danfeng: “… …” It’s a foul to act like a spoiled child!
The last bit of Chu Danfeng's sanity began to shake, and he followed Hua Tingxuan to the backyard in a daze.
There were two rooms in the backyard, one on the east and one on the west, with a simple cowshed in the middle. Hua Tingxuan took him to the west room first, pretending to hesitate: "I'm a little confused too, is this the room?"
But soon, the sound of girls talking came from inside:
"Is what you told me before true? You wanted to trick my two senior brothers into bed?"
Chu Danfeng: “!!!”
Although he has no interest in the girls' night chats, the opening is so exciting!
Then came Yulou's voice: "What? I thought you didn't want to talk to me anymore. You are a well-known and upright family. Don't you disdain to associate with us evil people? You even think I'm disgusting during the day."
Lin Shuer: "Don't change the subject. I'm just asking you, is it true or false? Who do you admire?"
Yulou: "Oh, who do I admire? Such childish words, only a young girl like you who is ignorant of the world would..."
Somehow, she paused, and Hua Tingxuan outside the door felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment, Yu Lou changed her tone: "Of course I admire...Brother Chu!"
Chu Danfeng: “!!!”
Hua Ting Xuan; "… "
Yulou sobbed, "Sister Shu'er, I was teasing you during the day because I was angry that you looked down on our Hehuan Sect. But the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect are also human beings, with seven emotions and six desires. Even if there are some pasts, they also yearn to be with their one and only lover until old age. I really like Brother Chu..."
Chu Danfeng felt that he couldn't listen any longer and felt so guilty that he didn't even dare to look Hua Tingxuan in the eye.
It was precisely because of this that he did not see Hua Tingxuan's murderous look.
This time, the two brothers hit it off immediately and turned around and left this dangerous place together.
Inside the room, Lin Shu'er was anxious: "Why are you so cunning!"
"What? He's gone?" Yulou lay down leisurely with her clothes on, her breath sweet as orchid.
Lin Shu'er: "How do you know...?"
Yulou said, "Tsk, let me guess. You secretly set up a barrier, right? That's why I can't sense if there's anyone outside. From your expression, I know I'm right... I didn't expect your cultivation to be so profound. I can't sense the barrier at all. What a trick. I almost got fooled."
"It's just that," Yulou turned sideways, supported his head with one hand and smiled, "you are not good at lying. I saw through you at the first sight. You are not like me. I am an expert in lying."
She blinked: "Especially lying to men."
Lin Shu'er was extremely upset. It turned out that she had exposed her trap and ruined all of Sixth Senior Brother's plans!
Yulou: "I guess the person outside the door should be Miss Chu? You have an average relationship with Brother Tingxuan, so you wouldn't do anything for him."
Lin Shuer thought to herself: You guessed wrong this time.
Yulou said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you would end up losing more than you gained. Not only did you not make him hate me, but this time, Big Brother Chu will fall head over heels in love with me."
Chu Danfeng felt extremely guilty.
Originally, she wanted to help Xuan Er get married, but Yu Lou actually fell in love with her! Is Yu Lou... blind? Why would she fall in love with the domineering male protagonist when she didn't love him
By the way, the male protagonist has been raised by himself to be a docile little sheep in this life, not domineering at all...
But no matter what, Chu Danfeng felt extremely guilty because he not only "defiled" him, but also stole his future wife.
Hua Tingxuan was also extremely worried - Danfeng had heard everything the woman had said just now, and he wouldn't really...
The two stood at the door of the east wing, looking at each other in silence. Hua Tingxuan was annoyed at his own overdoing and was daydreaming in the cold wind when he felt his body warm up.
It was Chu Danfeng who took the initiative to hug her!
Hua Tingxuan almost suspected that he was dreaming, and then he felt Chu Danfeng patting his back and sighing softly: "I am sorry for you, don't worry, I will stay away from Yulou from now on and will not say a word to her."
Hua Tingxuan: “???!”
Although he didn't know why the junior brother was like this, there was no reason not to seize such a pleasant surprise. Hua Tingxuan hugged him back and rubbed him affectionately.
Chu Danfeng misunderstood: "Okay, okay, I won't feel wronged... Never mind, Senior Brother promises you that I will still sleep with you tonight."
It's strange to say, the climate in the village is suitable, the crops are like those in the south, but the hut has a northern-style earthen kang, which is very large and can easily accommodate four or five adult men.
Although they were sleeping together, Chu Danfeng was wrapped in a quilt and sleeping far away at the other end, leaving at least two people between them.
Hua Tingxuan did not move over to make trouble, but lay down properly. Suddenly, he said quietly, "There seems to be some movement. Is it Aunt Huang floating out?"
"!!"
Chu Danfeng really did react. He tightened his quilt and asked, "Have you put up the ghost-exorcising talismans?"
"It's done, but I don't know how effective ordinary talismans are against the ghosts here. After all, the secret realm is a small world with its own set of rules." Hua Tingxuan said, yawned, and then fell silent.
Chu Danfeng was left tossing and turning. Yes, you can’t fly a sword here, and there must be no restrictions on talismans...
What if Aunt Huang wanders in? Just thinking about it gave Chu Danfeng goose bumps all over his body.
Just at this moment, the wind chimes in the room suddenly started to move automatically.
"!!" Chu Danfeng was immediately furious and covered his head with the quilt in fear. After a moment, he carefully poked his head out from under the quilt, only to see Hua Tingxuan breathing evenly and sleeping soundly, not affected at all.
"… "
"… "
Chu Danfeng hesitated for a long time, and finally wrapped himself in the quilt and moved over like a silkworm cocoon - he was asleep anyway, so it was not shameful to crawl over quietly!
Chu Danfeng slid himself and his quilt close to the other living person in the room, and only then did he feel a little more at ease.
In the darkness, the "sleeping" Hua Tingxuan curled his lips, and a sly smile of success flashed across his face for a moment. Then the young man pretended to turn over, stretched out his long arms, and hugged his little senior brother tightly in his arms.
