Chapter 163

"Yueyue, what are you thinking about?"

Dongfang Qi waved his hand in front of her, and Lin Qingyue just came back to her senses.

"What did you call me?" She said seriously, "I am your master now; how can you be so disrespectful?"

Dongfang Qi said: "A slip of the tongue. It's just that it's private now, and calling you Deputy Envoy Lin or Prince Chaolan would be too formal. Between you and me, we haven't officially apprenticed, so it's not good to call you Master. We are close friends; is it okay to call you by your nickname?"

Lin Qingyue is not a person who cares about rules. Thinking that she also calls Dongfang Qi by his name, sometimes even calling him Xiao Hua. He didn't get angry either.

If she cares too much, it would be inferior.

It's just that the "Yueyue" always reminds her of old friends.

But thinking about it, three thousand years have passed, and the past is hard to chase, so why care too much about a title?

So she waved her hand and said: "Forget it, just a name. You can call it whatever you want."

Most importantly, she doesn't seem to reject it in her heart.

"Then I will call you that in private from now on, Yueyue." Dongfang Qi seemed very happy, and even ate an extra bowl of rice.

Lin Qingyue frowned at him: "Remember to pay for the food. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly!"

The night is deep, who is listening to the leaking break?

Xie Shouzheng stepped on the sound of the third watch and returned to his mansion to rest.

His house was a five-entry mansion given by the Crown Prince, but there were very few servants.

There were only three people in the family: an old cook who cooked, an old nanny who took care of his daily life, and an "old servant" who watched the door.

These three were also the people who took care of him after he was picked up by the Crown Prince back to the Eastern Palace, and they also knew his identity as a wolf demon.

Xie Shouzheng was nostalgic and didn't like to change people he was used to. He ate a few bites of the food left for him in the kitchen and went to sleep.

His sleep had always been very good, almost falling asleep as soon as he lay down, snoring as soon as he fell asleep, and occasionally muttering a few words in his mouth:

"Your Highness, I don't want to leave the Eastern Palace, Xiao Hui just wants to be your beloved pet for a lifetime..."

"Hong Yao, get out of the way, don't grab my case!"

"Your Highness... Hong Yao, you... don't even think about grabbing the Crown Prince from me..."

The night was deep, and a black shadow squeezed in from the crack of the window, slowly gathering in the room.

"Woo woo woo woo... I'm so cold... woo woo woo..."

Xie Shouzheng turned over and scolded impatiently: "Who is crying? It's disturbing my peace!"

Suddenly, his back felt cold, and his eyes, which opened suddenly, emitted a greasy green cold light.

"Who?"

He sat up with a roll, but the group of yin energy that had just been in the room disappeared instantly.

Xie Shouzheng checked the room, scratched his head, a little confused:

"Strange, why did I suddenly feel a ghost enter in my sleep just now? Could it be that a wronged soul came to me to complain?"

Such things had happened before.

But it wouldn't be like this, appearing and disappearing suddenly.

Could it be an illusion? A sequela of seeing too many strange cases during the day?

So, the big-hearted Xie Shouzheng lay down again.

But just as he sank into a dream, playing a ball game with his dear Crown Prince, he suddenly heard the sobbing sound again.

He was distracted, and the ball thrown by the Crown Prince "bang" hit his wolf head.

"Awoo!" Xie Shouzheng woke up with a scream, and looking around, it was pitch black again, and there was nothing.

"Who are you? If you really have a grievance, show yourself quickly, and I can plead for you!"

No one responded, as if everything just now was just an illusion in a dream.

However, when he lay down again, the sobbing sound appeared again...

The next morning, Xie Daren, who had never been late, was late for a rare time.

Dami finished the roll call, looked up and didn't see Xie Shouzheng, and asked strangely: "It's time for work, why hasn't Xie Daren appeared yet?"

Hong Yao was talking to Lin Qingyue, and said: "Was he tired last night, and slept over?"

The case last night was handled by Xie Shouzheng and Hong Yao together:

After a man died accidentally, he was afraid that his wife would remarry, so he refused to leave and came back to knock on the door every night at midnight:

"Ah Chun, it's me, open the door quickly, I'm back."

"Ah Chun, why haven't you opened the door yet? Did you hide someone in the room?"

"Open the door, let me see which adulterer dares to grab my wife!"

But he didn't know that after becoming a ghost, his consciousness was confused, and he mistook the neighbor's door for his own.

The neighbor who was knocked on the door: "..."

Finally, the neighbor couldn't bear the harassment and had to find the Xuanjing Division for help.

After Xie Shouzheng and Hong Yao found the man's soul, they persuaded him to reincarnate properly.

The ghost hugged Xie Shouzheng's thigh and cried bitterly: "I saved money for several years, and scraped together, and finally gathered enough bride price to marry a wife. As a result, I died accidentally in less than half a year."

"I'm not reconciled! My money, my wife..."

Xie Shouzheng exerted his specialty of bitter persuasion, and tried hard to persuade for a long time... as a result, the male ghost was persuaded to go berserk.

The male ghost was furious, his eyes red and roaring: "You high-ranking officials, how do you know the suffering of us bottom-level people? You can have three wives and four concubines casually, but it is extremely difficult for us to marry a wife! You let me let go, why don't you let go?"

He roared, and was about to turn into a fierce ghost and attack people.

Xie Shouzheng had no choice but to pull out the Blood Thorn Whip, ready to beat him up first.

After beating him, if he listens to persuasion, he will be transcended; if he doesn't listen, he will let him die again. Anyway, good words are hard to persuade a ghost who should die.

Just then, Hong Yao suddenly said: "If the bride price is returned to you, are you willing to go?"

The berserk male ghost suddenly calmed down and turned to look at Hong Yao: "Can it really be returned to me?"

Hong Yao nodded, smiling like a flower: "Of course."

Xie Shouzheng hurriedly pulled Hong Yao to the side and lowered his voice: "How can you promise randomly? I asked about the bride price, and they refused to return it. Besides, the marriage is done, the room is consummated, and the person is dead. A young widow has no skills. If she doesn't have money to protect herself, she can't live."

Hong Yao said: "I didn't promise randomly. Doesn't he want to return the bride price? Then let his wife burn some underworld money for him. He has no father or mother, and doesn't need to support them. If the money in the human world is really given to him, he can't receive it. It's better to give more practical things."

Xie Shouzheng suddenly realized: "Ooh, this move is wonderful! Both sides are satisfied! As expected of a fox spirit, there are many tricks."

Hong Yao rolled her eyes at him: "Is this how Xie Daren praises people? Then don't praise next time."

After burning several times the bride price in paper money for the male ghost, the male ghost's resentment disappeared completely, and he left with a full bosom of money, satisfied.

Before leaving, he was still muttering: "I don't know if I can marry a wife in the underworld. If I can, with so much money, wouldn't I be able to have three wives and four concubines?"

Hong Yao heard this and showed sarcasm: "Men, they are all just like that."

Xie Shouzheng was unconvinced: "You are wrong, how can you overturn a boat with one pole? For example, I am not the kind of person who is greedy for money!"

Hong Yao glanced at him deeply: "Xie Daren, you are naturally different."

Xie Shouzheng immediately beamed with joy and asked: "Really? So in your heart, I am still a different existence! Hehe..."

It was also at this moment that he found that Hong Yao was actually quite good. Although she took the wrong path, she corrected it in time. After entering the Xuanjing Division, she was diligent and pragmatic, and she was smart. She was indeed a good helper.

He was about to praise her, but heard Hong Yao add: "You are not a human, naturally different from ordinary people."

Xie Shouzheng was stunned: "Are you scolding me?"

Hong Yao smiled: "That sentence, for others, is scolding. But for those of us with such identities... it's just stating facts."

Xie Shouzheng said seriously: "Although we are demons, since we are humans, we are humans! Remember that I am a human, and your superior officer! If you dare to insult your superior next time, I will deduct your bonus!"
