Hearing Wan Ruo say this, Bai Chen frowned slightly. Was she worried about him?
Wan Ruo then added, "You're not here to take me away, are you?"
Immediately, an image of himself turning into a vengeful ghost flashed through Bai Chen's mind. He frowned slightly and said menacingly, "If I die, you'll be the first one I take with me!"
She must have been scared out of her wits. Then Bai Chen helplessly comforted her, "Alright, alright. If I were dead, could you still be holding me like this? Silly girl!"
The next morning, Wan Ruo slowly opened her eyes. In a daze, she wondered if she had clung to Bai Chen last night. No, it must have been a dream!
She looked down at the blood - stained coat wrapped around her and stared in horror with wide - open eyes. It was real! Everything that had happened last night wasn't a dream! She had almost died!
Just thinking about the terrifying scene from yesterday made Wan Ruo shiver and get goosebumps.
It was him who had saved her. Wan Ruo recalled the moment when Bai Chen had rescued her. He was like a beam of light pulling her out of the dark world. He was so cool!
Wan Ruo was still lost in the memory, blushing and with her heart pounding.
Just then, out of nowhere, Wan Zi suddenly appeared and almost scared the life out of her.
Wan Ruo instinctively punched Wan Zi and angrily shouted, "You dead ghost! Where have you been these days? You scared the hell out of me by coming back all of a sudden!"
"I came back because I was worried about you! Why did you hit me so hard!" Wan Zi replied groggily.
It turned out that after Wan Ruo fell asleep last night, Bai Chen noticed that she still missed Wan Zi. He didn't expect their friendship, formed in just a few days, to be so deep. Considering Wan Ruo's ghost - attracting constitution and the fact that having someone to help by her side would make him feel more at ease, he made a deal with Wan Zi and released it.
During the turmoil last night, Wan Zi, sealed in the bottle, seemed to sense the powerful spiritual energy and thick, turbid aura. Although it was anxious and pacing around, it was helpless as it couldn't break through Bai Chen's seal.
As soon as Bai Chen returned, Wan Zi anxiously asked about Wan Ruo's situation. Bai Chen was also surprised. He didn't expect this guy to have much stronger spiritual power than it appeared.
After all, a being that could break into Shan An Fang alone couldn't be underestimated.
"I can release you, but you must protect Wan Ruo's safety at all times. Otherwise, it'll be a piece of cake for me to catch you again. You know that! If I find out you do anything to harm her, I'll make you disappear from this world. Do you understand?" Bai Chen threatened.
Facing Bai Chen's threat, Wan Zi was instantly terrified.
"I'll do my best to protect her. I swear!" Wan Zi said fearfully.
Seeing Wan Zi trembling, Bai Chen explained the current situation, "You know she has a pure soul, which is a delicacy for evil spirits. Now with the millennium inner pill, her powerful spiritual energy makes her even more coveted by those dirty things. Her magic is weak, and she can't hide her spiritual energy. So she'll probably be haunted for a while."
"However, not just any little ghost can touch the millennium inner pill. Only high - level ghost spirits can avoid harming themselves!" Wan Zi said.
Bai Chen glanced at Wan Zi and said sharply, "You're right! That's why she needs your help!"
Just thinking about Bai Chen's appearance at that time made Wan Zi feel terrified.
Just then, that terrifying voice sounded again, "Are you feeling better?" It was him, Bai Chen. Wan Zi felt a chill down its back as soon as it heard his voice and quickly hid.
When Wan Ruo saw Bai Chen, she said gratefully, "Oh, it's you! Thank you for yesterday. I just happen to have something to discuss with you!"
She quickly served a cup of tea to Bai Chen and flattered him, "You're so good at magic. Are you a Taoist priest or did you study under a Buddhist monk? You're so amazing! Can you teach me?"
Bai Chen had just taken a sip of the tea when he almost spat it out upon hearing Wan Ruo's words. Taoist priest? Buddhist monk?
He slowly placed the teacup on the table, lifted Wan Ruo's chin with his finger, leaned in close to her, stared into her eyes, and said seductively, "Do I seem so detached from worldly desires in your eyes?"
Wan Ruo looked at the exquisite face in front of her and heard the teasing voice. She blinked her eyes in confusion.
Bai Chen looked at her innocent eyes and tempting lips, which were like a juicy peach, crystal - clear. He couldn't help but press his lips against hers.
At that moment, Wan Ruo stared at him in disbelief, held her breath, and almost lost herself in the kiss.
Suddenly regaining her senses, Wan Ruo pushed Bai Chen away, covered her lips, and couldn't believe what had just happened.
She trembled all over and said to Bai Chen, "What are you doing? That was my first kiss!"
Bai Chen looked at Wan Ruo with a look of lingering desire, showed a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth, and said gently, "I'm answering your question. Have you ever seen a Taoist priest or a Buddhist monk getting close to women?"
"By the way, it was your first kiss? No wonder your kissing skills are so bad. They need improvement. But we can practice more in the future!" Bai Chen said with a mischievous smile, then got up and walked towards the door. Turning around, he added, "Friendly reminder. Never kiss anyone other than me, or the consequences will be serious!"
Bai Chen walked out of the door, leaving Wan Ruo propping herself up on the ground with both hands, clenching her fists tightly, and cursing Bai Chen in her mouth. That bastard!
The air still echoed with his voice, "As for learning magic, I'll think about it. It depends on your performance!"
Before Wan Ruo could get angry, Bai Chen had already disappeared. "Bai Chen, you bastard! I'll tear you apart! Argh..." Wan Ruo was so angry that she gasped for breath on the spot.
Her first kiss had been taken away by him out of the blue, and he had even made sarcastic remarks. It was so unfair! Wan Ruo simply relaxed and lay back.
After leaving Wan Ruo, Bai Chen also let out a nervous sigh of relief. Thinking about the scene just now, he blushed a little and coughed lightly to calm down.
However, he found that when he kissed Wan Ruo, the inner pill in her body could actually drive away the turbid aura on him.
Bai Chen suddenly found it very interesting and showed a charming smile.
At night!
Wan Ruo remembered that tomorrow was the seventh day after her grandma's death. She planned to go to the kitchen to prepare some offerings for her grandma. Carrying a lantern, she went to the kitchen.
The kitchen was empty at this time. Wan Ruo prepared the ingredients and started to make her grandma's favorite pastries by herself.
After several hours of careful preparation, Wan Ruo had made several flavors of pastries. It was already late at night.
Just as Wan Ruo was about to pack the pastries, a fox's figure suddenly flashed outside the door.
