Chapter 1957 Passed on to Junior Brother
Lu Zhaoling returned quickly.
Aoki breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her return.
His gaze fell on Lu Zhaoling carrying the child, and he exclaimed in surprise.
It seems like things have changed a bit.
"Are they still inside?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"exist."
Aoki immediately pushed the door open for her.
Lu Zhaoling saw Qian Dingxing leaning back in his chair, eyes closed, seemingly resting. But Sheng Xiaohan was standing next to him, staring at him intently, as if she wanted to see him forever.
Upon hearing the noise, Qian Dingxing immediately opened his eyes.
Sheng Xiaohan blushed instantly and retreated to her original position.
"Brother Xing, I thought you were asleep."
She genuinely believed that Qian Dingxing was tired and asleep, which is why she stood so close and kept looking at him.
He kept his eyes closed and didn't say anything, as if he were really asleep.
It now appears he was faking sleep.
If she had known he was faking being asleep, she wouldn't have dared to do that. She was somewhat embarrassed.
Could it be that Brother Xing was pretending to be asleep just to avoid talking to her?
"No, I'm just a little tired," Qian Dingxing replied, then looked at the child ghost.
"You're full so quickly? You're really something."
Because at a glance, he could see the child ghost's round belly.
Sheng Xiaohan quickly changed the subject, bringing up the topic of the child ghost.
"Master Lu is truly amazing. But what did he go to eat? Could he really be full in such a short time?"
Lu Zhaoling said, "It's so delicious."
She didn't say that she took the child ghost to the Ghost Abyss in the Netherworld. Anyway, she only mentioned the evil mist, and they didn't know where she got it from.
"Ghost Abyss Mist?"
Qian Dingxing immediately understood, and his eyes lit up. "This is indeed a good idea! If we could have this, wouldn't his food problem be solved?"
He was truly relieved.
If Lu Zhaoling hadn't helped solve this problem, he would have been really worried about how to feed the little brat.
He might end up having to give it to the ghost messengers. But the ghost messengers he can give it to are probably Qi A and his group; he doesn't have any connections with the Black and White Envoys.
It's hard to say whether Qi'a can accept such a little devil.
"There shouldn't be any problems for now," Lu Zhaoling said.
At this moment, the child ghost's gaze swept over them, and he said in a childish voice, "What are you worried about? I can live a long time after I eat a full meal. I'm not some glutton."
Lu Zhaoling asked curiously, "How long can you stay full after one meal?"
The little ghost tilted its head, thinking carefully, "I've forgotten that too, but I can remember it for a long time. But the place you just took me to feels very familiar, and it looks very comfortable."
Comfortable?
Lu Zhaoling was at a loss for words. Could the Netherworld be considered comfortable?
"So now, can you remember your name, where you came from, and how you died?"
"I can't remember."
The child ghost shook his head. "But I'll figure it out sooner or later."
"how long?"
"I don't know either."
Lu Zhaoling sighed and looked at Qian Dingxing. "So what should we do now?"
"Could you... take him with you?" Qian Dingxing said helplessly. "I don't think I can. And sometimes I feel like he's a bit..."
How to put it? He didn't know how to describe it for a moment, "He's just not easy to get along with."
What do you mean by "easy to get along with" a little kid?
Lu Zhaoling wanted to complain.
"If you can't take him, what's the point of picking him up?"
Qian Dingxing said, "If we see him, are we just going to watch him run wild in the mountains of Yunbei if we don't pick him up? What if he gets too hungry and eats all the children from those families in Yunbei?"
Lu Zhaoling thought about it and agreed.
We can't let all those young people become fools.
However, looking at the child ghost, she felt that he shouldn't be such an evil spirit.
"I'll have someone take him with them."
Lu Zhaoling had already made up her mind; she was going to hand the child ghost over to her eldest junior brother.
The eldest junior brother is the most suitable to take him along. If the kid gets hungry, the eldest junior brother can feed him Ghost Abyss Mist directly.
His "eating" is actually similar to swallowing air. As long as he doesn't actually swallow the soul of a living person, it doesn't make any difference.
"That's really nice."
Qian Dingxing felt relieved and looked at the child ghost, "You should be willing to follow her, right?"
Without a second thought, the child nodded. "Of course."
Sheng Xiaohan wanted to laugh.
Sometimes she felt that this little devil was a bit too old-fashioned.
The child ghost grabbed the black umbrella back, curled up on the chair, covered himself with the umbrella, closed his eyes, and fell asleep, seemingly quite at ease in this place.
Looking at the black umbrella, Lu Zhaoling felt that it must also be a magical artifact.
"Is this umbrella his too?"
“It’s his,” Qian Dingxing said. “He’ll hide himself inside the black umbrella.”
"What did you mean when you said you didn't want to see other men? It made me think there was a beautiful female ghost under that umbrella. He's just a little kid, a boy, what's he afraid of seeing other men?"
When Lu Zhaoling asked this question, Sheng Xiaohan nodded vigorously, as she also wanted to ask about it.
It really made her misunderstand too.
“I don’t know either,” Qian Dingxing chuckled. “He said it himself, anyway, he’s a man and he doesn’t want to come out.”
"Could it be that you were once victimized or deceived?" Lu Zhaoling could only put the matter aside for now and ask about it later.
"It's getting late. Why don't you stay here tonight, and I'll ask you some more questions tomorrow."
"can."
Qian Dingxing didn't stand on ceremony either.
"I'll have Aoki arrange rooms for you."
Lu Zhaoling beckoned and led Sheng Xiaohan out.
She led Sheng Xiaohan to the other courtyard.
Qingyin and Qingbao came over, and it was a good opportunity to ask them to prepare a guest room for Sheng Xiaohan as well.
“You’re just staring at Qian Dingxing like that? Don’t you want to look at other men? There are so many talented young men in the capital. Take your time and find someone else,” Lu Zhaoling said to Sheng Xiaohan.
In the past, Sheng Xiaohan would have shaken her head without hesitation and said that she liked Qian Dingxing.
But now she's confused.
"Master Lu, how old is Brother Xing?"
"I don't know either. To be honest, I didn't even notice it," Lu Zhaoling said.
"If even you can't tell, then he's no ordinary person. He's not a ghost either, right?"
"It doesn't look like a ghost."
"So what exactly is he?"
puff.
Lu Zhaoling suppressed a laugh.
"Have you ever heard of a person who has encountered certain events, or faced a life-or-death situation, that changed their fate in an instant, but then couldn't get back on track, so their lifespan seems to have been forgotten by God, transcending the mortal world?"
