Although her elder brother's ability to accept things was much stronger than she had imagined, she still thought that performing spells in front of him might scare him.
Walking onto the balcony, Rong Lan put down the bags, then went into the living room to find a lighter and incense for worship.
"Amber already knows that your mom can use magic, so it won't be scared, right?" When she came out onto the balcony again, Rong Lan put down the cat. Since she had to hold the lighter in one hand and the incense in the other, she simply had no hand left to carry the cat.
The little ragdoll cat squatted at its mom's feet and meowed in response.
Hearing the cheerful meow of the little ragdoll cat, Rong Lan's eyes curved into a smile. "Okay, I understand. You're not scared. Then watch carefully, little Amber. Mom will show you some magic later."
"Meow~"
Rong Lan quickly checked the contents in the bags, then stood up and lit the three sticks of incense in her hand with her back to the wind.
After lighting all three sticks of incense, she turned around, faced the two big bags, and bowed three times devoutly with the incense in both hands.
The little ragdoll cat looked up at her, being so well - behaved that it didn't make a sound.
After bowing three times, Rong Lan squatted down holding the incense, blew out the flames, then placed the incense on the snacks and began to perform the spell with both hands forming mudras.
The reason why she didn't light incense when passing the can of Coke to the ghost Bai Rong Lan was that it was just a can of Coke. The King of Hell wouldn't be so petty as to care about a single can of Coke. But now she was smuggling two big bags of snacks from the human world to the ghost world. She had to light incense first to say hello to the King of Hell. Otherwise, the King of Hell would probably be very unhappy if he found out. Anyway, by lighting the incense first, it was like reporting to the King of Hell. Unless the King of Hell was so unhappy that he immediately showed up to stop her, nothing could stop these snacks from reaching the ghost Bai Rong Lan.
Suddenly, two big bags full of snacks appeared beside the ghost Bai Rong Lan, who was sitting in the park enjoying the moonlight.
The ghost Bai Rong Lan, who was in a daze watching the uncles and aunts dancing square dances, was startled and almost dropped the Coke can in her hand.
Thankfully, she managed to steady herself and looked around in confusion.
At first, she thought these were things burned by someone for their deceased relatives. But after looking around, there was only her, a single ghost, within a radius of two miles.
So, were these for her?
She rummaged through the bags blankly. There was everything in them, including all kinds of drinks like Coke, orange juice, and milk, as well as pork jerky, beef jerky, canned cooked oysters, shredded squid, and salmon sashimi. The variety of things amazed her.
Just when she was so tempted by the salmon sashimi that she was about to drool but was afraid to eat it because she wasn't sure if it was hers, she found a receipt in the bag.
"Ah!" Rong Lan, who had already finished the spell, slapped her forehead in frustration. "I seem to have forgotten to take out the receipt for the things I bought. Although the receipt isn't very useful, what if there's a chance for reimbursement in the future?"
"Meow~" The little ragdoll cat rubbed against Rong Lan's calf.
Rong Lan picked up the cat and gently scratched its chin. "Forget it. Anyway, the things should have reached Bai Rong Lan. Come on! Little Amber, I'll take you to prepare a surprise for your daddy."
The ghost Bai Rong Lan carefully read the receipt and saw the membership name 'Lan' at the very end. There couldn't be such an outrageous coincidence in the world. It was unlikely that someone else with a name ending in 'Lan' would burn things for their relatives but have them end up with her. So, these were clearly the things bought by the little fox Rong Lan.
The ghost Bai Rong Lan put the receipt back into the bag and smiled helplessly with her head down.
That little fox. After finally returning to a human body, she actually went to buy so many things for her. It was really...
heart - warming for a ghost.
She picked up the Coke can that she had been holding for a long time and tilted her head back to drink the last mouthful of Coke.
Now that she had other delicious things, she no longer had to be reluctant to finish the last mouthful because of the taste of the Coke.
Rong Lan rummaged through the house with the little ragdoll cat in her arms for ten minutes and finally found a big box that was one - third of her height.
She took out all the clothes in the box and tried to sit in it.
Facts proved that as a fox, her body flexibility was very good. She could perfectly squeeze into the box and even close the lid inside.
"Come here, little Amber." Rong Lan glanced at the time and found that it was getting late. Her idea of dressing up the cardboard box as a gift box had to be abandoned. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to hide in the box and surprise her elder brother before he got home. "I'll assign you a tough task!"
She held the little ragdoll cat's paw and said seriously, "I'll hide in the cardboard box later. You're responsible for attracting your daddy to open the cardboard box and find me. Okay?"
"Meow!" Okay!
"Good! That's settled then!" Rong Lan moved the cardboard box to the living room, stood in it, squatted down, and curled up with her knees in her arms. "Remember to attract your daddy to open the cardboard box as soon as he gets home. I'll hide first." After saying that, she waved to the little ragdoll cat standing not far from the cardboard box, then closed the top of the cardboard box by herself.
After waiting for five minutes in the cardboard box while counting the time, the sound of someone entering the password on the lock came.
Rong Lan was so nervous that she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her fox ears. However, she forgot that she had already retracted her fox ears, and her hand touched nothing when it reached the top of her head.
"Amber, what are you doing, or rather, what is a cat doing, squatting at the door alone?" As soon as Chu Hengyuan pushed open the door, he saw the little guy squatting on the shoe cabinet and wagging its tail.
Strangely enough, the cat and the fox, which were usually inseparable, were not sticking together today?
"Meow!" The little ragdoll cat lightly jumped off the shoe cabinet and stretched out its paw to hook Chu Hengyuan's trouser leg.
Rong Lan, who was in the cardboard box, heard her elder brother's voice and took a deep breath nervously.
"Why are you so clingy today? There's something wrong." Chu Hengyuan gently pushed the little ragdoll cat away with one hand and changed his shoes with the other. "Where's the fox fairy? Did you two cause any trouble at home and break something, so you were sent to act coquettishly with me?"
Chu Amber stomped its feet angrily. "Meow meow meow!" It wasn't acting coquettishly! Stupid daddy was really hopeless!
Seeing the little ragdoll cat looking so fierce, Chu Hengyuan smiled and stroked its back. "Okay, okay. Don't be so fierce. Do you not want to eat dried fish today? Or did you hide the new dried fish I bought again?"
Rong Lan in the box heard every word of the conversation between her elder brother and little Amber clearly. She couldn't help but doubt herself. Had she let little Amber take the blame for her so often these days that in her elder brother's eyes, little Amber had become a naughty and mischievous one?
However, if her elder brother didn't find her soon, she might not be able to hold back and stand up by herself. It was really tiring to squat and curl up in the box.
