Chapter 13: Mom's preference for daughters over sons

  The bright moon is high in the sky, its clean light shining down, making the cool night have a somewhat hazy beauty.

  Antique shop courtyard, Jiang Hua was waiting somewhat nervously.

  Since taking over the antique shop, Jiang Hua had never stayed overnight here. She instinctively felt that this was a gift accepted by her son and did not belong to her.

  However, when he heard that his son had raised a ghost, oh no, it should be said that he had taken in a ghost baby, Jiang Hua was unable to remain calm.

  For ordinary people, ghosts are a terrifying existence, as the old saying goes, respect the gods and keep them at a distance.

  However, this ghost baby was a bit special, she decided to stay and observe carefully.

  In a moment, Jiang Le came out of the inner room and saw his mother's tense expression. He couldn't help but smile and say: "Mom, don't be nervous, Yin-yin is lovely, not scary at all."

  Jiang Hua's face turned red and he said irritably, "Weren't you nervous when you saw a ghost for the first time?"

  Jiang Le was speechless, thinking back to his first time, he almost peed his pants, and became incoherent, far worse than how his mom would react, but I've seen an old ghost, and had no mental preparation at all.

  Sorry to keep laughing at your mom, Jiang Le took out the blood-colored ring and placed it on the stone table, covering it with a spell, smiling and calling out: "Yin Yin, come out for some fresh air?"

  The blood-colored ring suddenly emitted a red glow, and Jiang Hua stared at it with wide eyes, extremely surprised.

  The next moment, a small white and chubby little guy suddenly appeared on the stone table, lying there, laughing happily.

  "Wow!" Jiang Hua was startled.

  Yin Yin suddenly felt that there were others around, and she wasn't afraid. Curious, she turned her head to size up Jiang Hua, who looked extremely cute.

  "What a lovely little thing!" Jiang Hua exclaimed again, but this time it was with joy, and two red hearts popped out of her eyes.

  Jiang Le looked a bit sour and said uncomfortably: "Every time Mom sees me, she's not that happy either. You really like girls that much?"

  Jiang Hua curled his lip and said bluntly: "That's it, I even suspected that someone had switched my daughter with you."

  Jiang Le's tears flowed freely as she thought about how her mom had always doted on her little sister, and now she felt like she was asking for trouble by mentioning Yin Yin.

  However, seeing Jiang Hua already happily wanting to go forward and hug Yin Yin, Jiang Le hurriedly pulled her back.

  "What's wrong? I want to hug my dear Yinyin." Jiang Hua glared at Jiang Le discontentedly.

  Jiang Le's face turned black with anger. How could you become so obedient to her so quickly? What have you done with your son?

  "Mom, if you just pick up Yin-yin like that, you'll hurt her." Jiang Le said irritably.

  Jiang Hua was stunned.

  "Your jade bangle, it's a magical tool carefully prepared by your son, it can protect you from evil spirits and nourish your body. Most ghosts and monsters can't get close to you. If you hold Yinyin like that, the magical light of the jade will definitely harm her yin body. It could even cause her soul to scatter."

  Jiang Hua was startled: "This jade bangle is so formidable?"

  "That's it, this is a protective artifact specially prepared for you by your son." After finishing, Jiang Le looked at Jiang Hua with grievance, see, his son thought of you like this, how could you forget about him just because you saw Yin Yin?

  "It's like that, then I won't bring the jade bangle." Jiang Hua said casually, not understanding the importance of the magical instrument.

  Jiang Le was completely speechless. Is it supposed to be like this? This is the intention of his son!

  However, Jiang Hua had already taken off the jade bangle and casually tossed it to Jiang Le, quickly moving forward to hug Yin Yin.

  But then another problem arose, Jiang Hua's hands actually passed through Yin Yin's body as if they were transparent and illusory.

  "What? How could this be?" Jiang Hua stared at his son in shock.

  "Mom, can't you just calm down and let me finish speaking? Then you can hug your dear Yinyin?"

  Jiang Hua only then realized that he was indeed a bit anxious and awkwardly smiled: "Then what do you say? How can I not hold Yinyin?"

  Jiang Ledao said, "Humans and ghosts are on different paths, this is no joke. You can't hold onto Yin Yin normally, she's an intangible entity after all. To be able to touch her normally, there are only two ways: either she cultivates successfully and her yin body becomes substantial, or you cultivate your magical powers and your flesh and blood become spiritualized. Otherwise, if you want to get close to her, you can only drink the Yin Ling Symbol Water, which will allow a strand of yin energy to exist within your body, making it possible for you to touch her at will."

  "What's so troublesome?" Jiang Hua sighed.

  "This is a contact between yin and yang, which is forbidden. It's not the usual contact between ordinary people. If it weren't for the trouble, wouldn't it be chaotic?"

  Jiang Hua nodded suddenly and said: "That's also true. You should have prepared that Yin Ling symbol water, hurry up and give it to me to drink."

  "Jiang Le sighed: 'This medicine is really hard to swallow, are you sure you want to drink it?'"

  Jiang Hua took a look at Mengmeng's adorable Yin-yin, gritted his teeth and nodded: "I must hug this poor little guy."

  Jiang Le stopped talking.

  My mom has this mindset, with a look of determination that she won't give up until her goal is achieved. As her son, what can I do? Just satisfy her demands.

  Knocked over a bowl of water, Jiang Le drew out a talisman and muttered a few incantations. With a surge of magical power, the talisman emitted a strand of green mist that merged into the bowl.

  The light faded away, and what was originally a bowl of clear water suddenly turned into a bowl of greenish water.

  "Mother, the yin energy of the Yin Spirit Symbol can only exist in your body for three hours. After three hours, the yin energy will automatically disperse and you won't be able to continue contacting the yin body," Jiang Le said seriously after casting his spell.

  "I know." Jiang Hua nodded, picked up the bowl and finished it in one gulp. After drinking, she frowned slightly, but soon ignored the bitterness in her mouth and happily reached out to touch Yin Yin. This time, she really felt the physical body, and suddenly hugged Yin Yin tightly, kissing her face several times.

  "You're such an adorable little cutie, Grandma loves you to death."

  Yin Yin is also not unfamiliar, Jiang Hua's obvious affection makes her not resistant to him at all. She happily twists and turns, it seems that the absorption of moonlight in the past few days has made her a bit stronger.

  Looking at this warm scene in front of him, the displeasure in Jiang Le's eyes dissipated, replaced by a hint of a smile.

  Mom can accept Yin Yin much better than Jiang Le thought.

  This means that in the future, if I take in any other ghosts or monsters, Mom will be mentally prepared.

  And seeing her mother's happy smile, Jiang Le felt that everything she had done was worth it.

  How many years has it been since I've seen Mom laugh so heartily?

  "Crack! Crack!"

  A faint sound, a telescope flashing continuously.

  This is a five-story rooftop that is diagonally opposite the antique courtyard, and although it is more than 200 meters away from the courtyard, the specially made camera, which looks like a telescope, can clearly see everything in the courtyard, and even take pictures of the courtyard.

  The one who was taking pictures was a young girl, it was that female police officer Zhou Xian, her face was filled with a mix of horror and excitement.

  Yin Yin's sudden appearance also startled her.

  Such a bizarre thing, she had never seen before.

  But then excitement floated up in her heart again.

  That baby girl who suddenly appeared, was she the owner of that strange cry? In other words, Jiang Le had deceived her last time.

  "I knew this guy wasn't a good person. Wait till I develop the photos, see how you'll still dare to be stubborn." Zhou Yan muttered to herself with satisfaction.
