Volume 4 Chapter 4: Grudges Settled

  In the dark room, Xiangyue helped him up and was about to say some comforting words when Anwei suddenly grabbed something from Xiangyue's pocket - a miniature recorder.

  The demon is one foot high, the Tao is one zhang high. Suddenly, Xiang Yue realized that An Wei's actions were completely fake, not a single tear was true!

  "Hmph, kid's tricks! I've seen plenty!" An Qi said, taking out a cassette tape and fiddling with it on his finger.

  If you've really seen a lot, why did you think you were holding a handgun at first and became so afraid? A look of disdain appeared on Xiang Yue's small face, but she didn't expose him directly because Xiang Yue was more curious about how this kid saw through the trick.

  "How did you know I had a tape recorder hidden?"

  "Hmph, this is easy. With such thin clothes and a big bulge inside, and a small rope exposed, thinking about how you, little girl, ran to me so late at night, must have come prepared. So, it's not hard to conclude that you want to cheat me! Then go back and tell Yu Duo! Haha... You can give up on that idea, I've got that foolish girl wrapped around my finger!"

  "You... you... fine, you win!" Xinyue's words had lost their momentum, and she quietly dialed He Tong's phone as she walked towards the door.

  Xinyue had previously agreed with this friend that if the phone call went through, he would immediately come to Anwei's house to pick her up. Xinyue thought this plan was foolproof, but... Meanwhile, He Tong, who was at another street corner, had gotten drunk and was being carried back by several burly classmates.

  "Bang!" Yan Wei slammed shut the door that Xiang Yue had just opened, and even locked it from the inside.

  The little beauty was like a startled deer, instinctively jumping to one side and staring at the dark shadow with a quivering voice. "You've won, I surrender!" In the face of crisis, the little beauty couldn't care about anything else, it's better to prioritize self-preservation. With hands clasped together, she said in a low voice: "It's getting late, I'll just head back and not disturb your rest! Hehe, actually, I was just trying to play a joke on you today, so please don't hold it against me! From now on, I won't interfere with anything related to Yu Duo. That silly girl is really lucky to have met you! Alright, alright, I'll just head back first." Xiang Yue said as she retreated, her eyes fixed on the door, searching for an opportunity to escape.

  "Heh heh, don't be in such a hurry, look outside at the moonlight and frost, it's freezing, but in this small room of mine, there's just the two of us, alone together, like dry firewood and flames, don't you think we should do something to warm things up?" Dark Ink smiled lewdly, step by step closing in.

  "Huh? I don't think so, if you're feeling cold, turn on the air conditioner, I'll pay for the electricity! Yeah? Ah? You're back?" The little beauty suddenly opened her eyes wide, covering her mouth in surprise. Taking advantage of the momentary darkness, Xiangyue seized the opportunity, grabbed the wooden chair beside her, gritted her teeth, and with all her might, fueled by the anger that had been building up from being teased, slammed it down fiercely...

  The dark figure fell to the ground with a thud. The beautiful girl let out a breath, not daring to be careless, and rushed to the door, pulling it open...

  Just as the door was opened a crack, just as the little beauty was in high spirits, just as she was about to escape from the tiger's mouth...

  The little beauty only felt that her ankle was clamped by an "iron clip", and her whole body was like being electrocuted, unable to stand firm, and she fell heavily. At the same time, a huge force pulled her back...

  "Want to run? Ha! No way!"

  Yin's study, the silver hoof suddenly tapped the ground, and a white light flashed by. Two small glass bottles with mottled colors appeared, one in cyan green and the other in tender red.

  "What are these two bottles?" Qing Chi curiously picked them up in his hands and asked doubtfully.

  "They are the temporary containers that Bing Tong uses to hold your memories." Yin Qi Chi replied calmly, "The green bottle is yours, the memory of Yin Qi Chi, and the red one is Xia Xinyue's. Now, if you drink it down, all the memories from 17 years ago will return to your mind, and you will become yourself again, completely and utterly Yin Qi Chi."

  "What?! Why do I have to do this?! I didn't mean to!" Qing Chi subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at the two red and green bottles with some fear. "No! I can keep things as they are now, and I don't want to erase all my memories of Xiang Yue just like that!"

  "Stupid kid! Who told you that I was going to erase your memories of you and Xiangyue?! Hmph!" Yin Tiangong snorted in annoyance, "Detestable Bingtong, always making me clean up after you! Yin Qingchi, listen up, the green liquid in that bottle contains your memories from 17 years ago. As for what happened after you met Bingtong, it's not included. In other words, you're still you, and all the experiences you had with Xia Xiangyue will remain intact in your mind. Got it?"

  "But I'm doing well now, why go back?"

  "Because everyone liked the original gentle and elegant, reasonable, and cultured Yoon Cheong-ah, not the self-righteous and arrogant guy! And..."

  "And what?" Qing Chi asked further.

  "It doesn't matter, anyway, whether you drink that bottle of memory water or not is up to you, I've already done my part, the rest will just happen naturally." Yin Ti said, shaking her tail and about to leave, but was pulled back by Qing Chi.

  "Wait! I'll drink it, I'll drink it, isn't that enough?! Actually, sometimes I also feel inexplicably uncomfortable in my heart, maybe drinking it will be good for me, and for everyone." Qingchi said as he picked up the small green bottle, opened the lid, and saw that the tender green liquid sparkled brightly, clear to the bottom, like a small jade pool, very inviting. "It looks like it's good to drink, is it sweet?"

  "That's right, it's sweet!"

  Qingchi brought the bottle to his nose and smelled it, feeling that the fragrance was overflowing, refreshing his heart and spleen. He then tilted his head back and drank the contents of the bottle in one gulp.

  "Hey! Good grief! Just one sip would have been enough, who told you to drink it all?! Ah, now look what's happened, the sample is all gone."

  "Ah, good drink, is there more? Ah, haha... Oh... Why is my head so dizzy... Rabbit, fat rabbit, haha..." Qingchi said nonsense, only feeling the surroundings spinning around him, gradually losing consciousness.

  "Huff, it's done! Our task is complete!" The little pony let out a loud snort and proudly stomped its front hoof on the ground, only to find that the fat rabbit was still fast asleep.

  "Ah, you've done very well!"

  The rabbit was fast asleep, but was grabbed by the ear and lifted up by a large hand. Just as he was about to curse loudly, he found that the person who came was actually Yin Qingchi's father! So he quickly stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.

  "Reporting to you, sir! The Holy Beast Bing Tong did not disappoint the mission and successfully completed the task you assigned. Also," Fat Rabbit looked at Little Pony next to him and added: "Silver Hoof also helped a bit."

  Yin's father was both angry and amused, it seemed that these sealed beasts not only shrunk in size and weakened in ability, but also became more childish in nature. "Alright, no more idle chatter, who did more, who did less, I'll naturally see it with my own eyes, you've all done well, now it's up to Qingchi itself to recover."

  "Th... Lord, will you seal us away again?" Little Colt asked with lingering fear.

  "Don't worry, as long as you don't cause any more trouble or make any more mischief, I guarantee that you will live comfortably in the Yin family. If you have any requests in the future, just let me know."

  "Can... can I have 100 more radishes added every day for dinner? Steamed, okay!"
