ingrui smiled and stirred her coffee with a spoon: "Young Master Hou, my price is indeed in the millions, but your matter can't be resolved for just one million."Hou Shaowen furrowed his brows and gri...I was talking to Mu Wanchen when my sister unexpectedly came to find me. I hadn't locked the door, so when she burst in, we both froze.

How can I explain a man appearing in my room at night

My sister looked at me with a bit of bewilderment, and awkwardly asked, "Xiao Luo, this... is who"

"Ah... he's a friend of mine! He knows a lot about witchcraft and sorcery, I have some questions to ask him!" I said quickly.

My sister looked at me with a mixture of disbelief and caution. Seeing a man like this, with his face covered, anyone would be wary and take a second look.

“Oh… your friend…” She clearly doubted it, pulling me aside and whispering, “You mean that masked man is him Why is he wearing a mask”

"... I guess, strange people don't like to show their faces easily, either. I don't know, haha, haha..." My heart was pounding in my chest, what a terrible performance.

That awkward laugh didn't ease the tension, my sister's eyes grew even more puzzled.

She didn't quite believe my words, but Mu Wanchen sat calmly and composedly, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever. This made her think that I had truly invited the guest.

Out of options, she got down to business: “Dad won’t answer his phone. I called ten times and no one answered, didn’t even return my messages. What should I do Should we ask my senior brother to check on him”

"Just wait until your senior brother gets back and discuss it with him. There's no use in you worrying yourself." I said softly.

Mu Wanchen sat here, and it wasn't convenient for us to talk about family matters. I awkwardly smiled at Mu Wanchen and said, "This is my sister, do we look alike"

My unspoken thought was: Did you get it wrong back then!

Mu Wanchen nodded slightly to my sister, his attitude was icy cold. He replied indifferently, "Not much like it."

This is the first time I've heard of twins who don't look alike. If it weren't for my sister being so thin, even my siblings would mistake us for each other.

He successfully ended the awkward atmosphere, because my sister felt his coldness and had to just touch her nose and say in a low voice: "… Xiao Lu, then you guys chat, I'll go back first."

Turning around, she whispered to me, "Don't keep a male stranger in your room at night! If the senior brother finds out, how will you explain it"

Ahem... I straightened my expression, trying my best to appear composed and justified.

"I was just sitting here talking! Is it a crime to talk in the yard" I explained.

"...Alright, you do what you think is best. Well, Xiaolu is an adult now too!" She suddenly giggled and poked my forehead playfully.

Humph, you're not always talking to Jun-shidi in the room!

After my sister left, I whispered to Mu Wanchen, "Will you get us mixed up A few years ago, my sister wasn't this thin. She was almost the same size as me, and the brothers all had trouble telling us apart!"

Mu Wanchen frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I don't know if she has any marks on her body"

"What does the mark look like Where is it I'd love to take a look next time if you have the chance." I swallowed nervously.

He said lightly, "On her left shoulder, a red mark. I stung her with my Lingzhen."

"What is Lingzheng"

"Scorpio Spirit."

“...”

Is this guy's way of finding a wife too strange

"Who exactly did you ask back then I asked my senior sisters, and they all said they'd never seen you."

"How could I know, with so many people in your family, I haven't even looked at the faces of other women!" His voice was also a little regretful.

Well, well, since I've already been planted with the female silkworm gu, there's no point in dredging up old grievances.

"Mu Xiaqiao said—"

"...That's your stepmother," I corrected.

He reluctantly frowned: "I've always called her Mu Xiaqiao. Unless Master orders me to, I wouldn't call her 'little mistress' to coax her."

I find it a little amusing, the way this guy reluctantly calls her "little mistress." It seems like Mu Xia Qiao also enjoys this, purposely making him call her that.

She said that before she was capable of defending herself in the Emu Gu, to let her spend more time guarding you, lest something happen. She would handle my daily affairs at Wu Wangshan City on my behalf. Mu Wanchen frowned deeply.

He is very responsible and handing over the task of protecting the people to someone else must be a difficult decision for him.

"Then… how are you going to guard me... I'll arrange a guest room for you Just like Brother Liang." I asked seriously.

"Don't worry about these things, Mu Yunfan will arrange everything for me... The Yin Gu is the ultimate yin, it inevitably attracts some things with strong yin energy. You need to be mentally prepared." He said in a low voice.

I nodded. What other kind of mental preparation was there I'd already invited a ghost doll over just now.

"But what about this sorcerer The child is still in the hospital..."

"As long as you don't get involved, I don't care. That kid is already a zombie, there's no saving him. Just declare brain death and dispose of him as soon as possible." He said quickly.

"Oh, oh... what do I need to do"

He stood up and glanced at me, shaking his head. "Besides eating well and sleeping well, there's nothing special you need to do," he said. "Just don't cause any trouble."

Damn it...

“I’m going to treat the poison in that child now, don’t run around.” He warned, raising his hand to open a magical portal.

"Hey, there are cameras in the hospital, be careful—"

"Don't worry about it."

Watching him disappear before my eyes, I couldn't help but flip him off in my head.

Just leave without saying goodbye Not even a hello! Your emotional intelligence is so low!

As soon as I turned the screen, I felt a wave of cold air filling the room. I immediately took down the small peach wood sword hanging on the screen and turned to face the darkest corner of the room.

The female ghost didn't appear, but this eerie temperature still made me alert.

I discovered a pattern: the female ghost appears almost every time when Mu Wanchen is with me, or right after he leaves.

Once, while climbing the stairs of Wu Wang City, I felt something icy cold clinging to my calf. It wasn't a female ghost, but a snake spirit.

Now, let's carefully recall and analyze. Could it be that the female ghost's curse before her death was...

A woman wearing this bracelet and being alone with Mu Wanchen

When she was around, she wouldn't dare come out. She would only jump out when I turned my back or just as I was leaving to scare me.

I stroked my chin, it's interesting... This shaman seems to be quite infatuated with Mu Wanchen. Even in death, she wants to keep the jealousy going.

To be honest, scaring me once or twice is fine, but if you keep coming out to scare me, it's not really that interesting anymore. A person's psychological resilience is also trained through experience. Once you get used to it, you build up immunity.

Next time I'll go visit a powerful wizard and get some stuff to ward off evil spirits for the house. And then, then I'll wipe you out!ed."Where does she live then" A young woman wouldn't possibly sleep in a bridge hole, would she With her airs and graces, how could she possibly stand dirt and squalor"She seems to know a friend who t...
