Bribing an immortal

  I stood up, but Yuan Rui grabbed my wrist and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"

  I didn't say anything else, I just struggled to pry open his hand, and solemnly stared at him, saying frankly: "Nothing? If you don't understand, go back and tell Mr. Yuan about it, I think such a clever person should understand my meaning."

  After leaving the snack shop, I held up my umbrella to shelter myself from the scorching sun. However, my mind was preoccupied with Yuan Rui's behavior just now. This little fox seemed to be truly unaware of anything. I had initially thought of extracting some useful information from him, but he appeared to be genuinely surprised and completely clueless.

  "What exactly happened? Did you just encounter danger or something? But why didn't I sense anything?" Ming Yan was still entangled in the original question, blocking my path and asking me.

  The noon sunlight is poisonous, and there are only occasional vehicles passing by on the street. Passersby hurry past, no one paying attention to my abnormality, let alone my muttering to myself.

  I smiled slightly, feeling a bit moved. Regardless of anything, Ming Yan truly cared about me, and although it wasn't ideal, this way of getting along wasn't bad either. I took him across the street, walking on the shaded path, and told him what had happened after he left.

  Ming Yan didn't show any surprise after hearing it, but instead walked silently in front with a furrowed brow, completely unaware of the sun's refraction zone not far ahead.

  I grabbed him in a fit of anger, "Hey, don't go, if you get into trouble again, my fingers will be in trouble too."

  He glanced at the sunlight a few steps away, stopped in his tracks, and gazed at me with profound black eyes, his expression somewhat complex.

  I have a bad feeling about this, "What's the big deal? We're just being followed, nothing's happened. We don't even have any leads, are we going to be silenced just like that?"

  "After all, this time is different, after all you are human, and what you have to face is also human, who knows what will happen next."

  "Isn't that all your fault?" He said this and I felt moved in my heart, but my face turned black as coal, and I couldn't help but retort.

  This sentence is very good, and it immediately topped out of words.

  His eyes flickered with a dark flame, and his face was filled with guilt. I couldn't bear to look at him, and my mouth had already spoken without thinking, not considering his good intentions, and yet I couldn't help but comfort him, "Isn't this just too much for you to handle? Am I still not dead yet? You're pulling me underwater and I'm not even allowed to complain? Besides, didn't you say you would protect my personal safety?"

  This guy's temper is really childish, just like a kid, being scolded and he'll be discouraged with his head hung low. A few words of comfort are like a shot in the arm, and he's full of energy and vitality again.

  He is now very spirited, holding my hand and promising me that he will never let anything happen to me and Uncle.

  I don't doubt his ability, he's a mastermind after all, and his skills shouldn't be underestimated. Moreover, I'm not too worried about those people monitoring me, they should only start to suspect something if I show up at Liu Sheng's place again. As long as we don't disturb Liu Lao's life anymore, I think everyone can live in peace from now on.

  Back home, tidying up the room while thinking about what to do next. Looking at the fruit plate, can't help but smile slyly.

  Let Mingyan watch the house, I went to the market downstairs and bought a box of apples back, then lit an incense on the incense table of Baohua Xian.

  Ming Yan looked at me with an inexplicable gaze, furrowing her brow in curiosity and asked: "Today is neither the first nor the fifteenth, why are you lighting incense and making offerings?"

  I put the box of apples at my feet, on a fruit plate that had been washed in advance, and said with a smile: "You don't understand, Uncle said this is called inviting the gods, although I'm not a goddess, but I've heard it's like this."

  Ming Yan tilted his head and looked at me fiddling with the apples, a fruit plate with three bright red big apples. At first, he was somewhat surprised, then burst out laughing and said: "Are you looking for Chang Yu? These apples were bought for him?"

  Clever, Baojia Xian has already lost his name and reality, but Mingyan said that Changyu is still there. As long as he is there, I can sense your incense and naturally be "lured" out by me. Last time Mingyan had an accident, I was able to call out Changyu, this time it will definitely work too.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a certain snake couldn't resist the temptation and poked its head out of Uncle's closet, looking sleepy every time. However, those fluffy eyes sparkled immediately after seeing the fruit on the fruit plate again.

  He slithered over with a snake-like waist, swallowing his saliva and staring pitifully, but still managed to hold back his cravings. He glanced at Ming Yan with a sideways glance, then looked at me sitting on the edge of the bed, "What do you two want?"

  I didn't explain the reason, but directly handed him an apple, "Would you like to have an apple? I felt that last time's offering was not enough for you, so this time I specially bought a whole box for you to enjoy. Isn't that being a good friend?"

  I'm no longer afraid of him at all, as long as he doesn't show his true self.

  Ming Yan seemed to understand my idea, and smiled slightly as he watched us play the opposing roles, rubbing his nose.

  Chang Yu took the apple from me, swallowed his saliva and put it in his arms, then looked at us and asked: "No matter how much you offer your feelings, it's either deceitful or thieving. Little girl, don't beat around the bush, just speak directly."
