Chapter 706 Ghost Lantern (5)
Hua family underworld.
Gui Deng, who came here again on business, focused his attention for the first time on the tall willow tree standing outside the underworld.
"Ok?"
Gui Deng narrowed his eyes slightly and vaguely saw some red near the willow tree.
“Oh gah!”
A familiar cry.
Gui Deng knew whose residence this was.
Without stopping, he went to the underworld to finish his own business before walking towards the very conspicuous willow tree.
The willow branches swayed in the windless air, matching the swaying rhythm of the snapdragons.
Gui Deng squatted beside the snapdragons and recognized at a glance that these were the ten he had given to Yun Ci.
Next to the big snapdragon, there are some small snapdragons that have just grown their heads. These should be grown from fish egg seeds.
"Mr. Ghostlight?"
Yun Ci, wearing a green long skirt, walked out of the house next to the willow tree.
She smiled and said, "I was wondering why there was a magpie landing on the tree today. It turns out that a distinguished guest has come to visit us."
"Long time no see, Miss Yunci."
Gui Deng followed Yun Ci's finger and looked towards the willow branches, and sure enough, he saw two magpie ghosts.
They slept together, not caring about the eyes that were falling on them.
Yun Ci walked up to Gui Deng and asked, "How come Mr. Gui Deng has time to come here today?"
“I’m here to work.”
"Then Mr. Gui Deng should have finished his work now." Yun Ci said with a smile, "Mr. Gui Deng doesn't seem to let his personal affairs affect his work."
"Miss Yunci is very good at identifying ghosts." Gui Deng's eyes fell on the snapdragons, and he raised his hand to gently touch the scales on their bodies. "Miss Yunci also takes good care of the snapdragons."
"It's really a pleasure to receive such praise from Mr. Gui Deng, the judge of the 'Snapdragon Selection Hall of Fame' selection meeting." Yun Ci turned sideways and made way for the path. "Why don't we go in and have a chat? It's rare for Mr. Gui Deng to come here, so let me show my hospitality."
"Then excuse me."
Gui Deng was very polite and, with Yun Ci's permission, went into the house and sat down.
Yunci made tea, and the bright red tea was loved by ghosts and gods.
Gui Deng looked at the Lycoris radiata flowers and leaves swirling in the tea and took a sip: "Good tea."
Yun Ci's smile deepened: "It's great that it suits your taste."
Gui Deng looked at Yun Ci, who had never had any major emotional ups and downs. He had a good impression of such emotionally stable people, and they were easy to deal with - no matter what the relationship was.
Yun Ci smiled and looked back: "Is there something on my face?"
"No, Miss Yunci has always been a very beautiful woman."
"Then... Mr. Ghost Light likes beautiful women?"
"There is no ghost who doesn't like beautiful women." Ghost Lantern put down the teacup and answered very seriously.
——It seems that she was too reserved.
"Then Mr. Gui Deng, would you consider having a relationship with me?" Yun Ci added, "If you have a little affection for me."
"in love……"
"Mr. Gui Deng has never been in a relationship because of his busy work, right? Do you want to give it a try?"
"Miss Yunci, are you trying to seduce me?"
"Oh, is it obvious?"
"No, it's okay." Gui Deng raised his hand and pinched his chin, "This is the first time I've received such a formal confession. For a moment, I really didn't know how to respond."
He thought about it very seriously.
"Does Miss Yunci like snapdragons?"
"I like it."
"Where's the furry one?"
"like."
Gui Deng raised his hand and gestured to pinch the pad of the meat: "Pinch the furry pad of the meat?"
Yunci gave a thumbs up: "It feels really good."
Gui Deng's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up in response: "You have good vision! Let's talk!"
"Eh?"
His decisiveness actually stunned Yun Ci.
Yun Ci's smile faded slightly, and she said seriously, "Being in love is also a very important thing. Mr. Gui Deng should not make a hasty decision."
"No, I'm serious. Every bit of Miss Yunci fits me perfectly."
Gui Deng stood up and walked to Yun Ci, stretching out his right hand.
Yun Ci hesitated and put her hand on it.
"Let's go on a date in the real world next time."
"zoo?"
"May I?"
"Of course." Yun Ci smiled and held Gui Deng's hand tightly, "I'm always available."
*
——We started dating in a hurry.
But Yun Ci didn't have any real feeling of being in love.
On the day when their relationship was confirmed, Gui Deng and Yun Ci prepared dinner together and they ate together. After the meal, Gui Deng said goodbye to Yun Ci with a strangely satisfied smile.
Three days have passed since then.
Yun Ci sat on a swing made of willow branches, swinging widely.
"I don't know if Gui Deng is busy today. I think it won't disturb him if I go to look for him..."
Xiao Ai popped up: [Shall I go and show you? ]
"Forget it, I'll just go for a walk by myself. It's not far anyway."
However, before Yun Ci could pack up and get ready to leave, Bai Ze, with several lipstick marks on his body, ran over in a hurry.
Because of the shock, his clothes were messy and not properly put on.
Yun Ci raised her eyebrows: "What are you playing at?"
"What are you kidding!" Bai Ze rushed in front of Yun Ci, "Let me tell you, there is a ridiculous rumor in hell, saying that you and that guy Gui Deng are in love! Don't you think it's ridiculous? Hahaha..."
Bai Ze's dry laughter gradually disappeared under Yun Ci's smiling gaze.
"No way……"
Yun Ci held up three fingers: "We confirmed our relationship three days ago."
"Oh No——" Bai Ze fell to his knees with his head in his hands, "My best friend is actually with that guy!"
Yun Ci squatted down with amusement, holding her chin and looking at him: "Are you so upset?"
"What did you say!!!"
"I think you, Bai Ze, look a lot like Gui Deng."
Bai Ze covered his ears and didn't want to listen: "Who would look like that guy?"
That's what Yun Ci said. If it were someone else, he would definitely kick the person who said that!
Ah, except women, of course.
Bai Ze saw Yun Ci's neatly dressed clothes while shaking: "Are you going out?"
"Yes." Yun Ci pursed her lips and smiled, "Go to hell."
Bai Ze didn't want to listen anymore.
He couldn't say anything if he didn't let Yun Ci go.
He didn't want to say that Yunci was not allowed to have a relationship.
In the end, he could only go to the entrance to hell with Yun Ci reluctantly.
Coincidentally, the ghost who was checking today was the same one who checked Yun Ci when she first came to hell.
Bai Ze is also a well-known figure here.
The ticket inspector saw Yun Ci and Bai Ze walking together, looked at them curiously for a few more times, and then let them pass.
The routes to hell and heaven share a common road. Bai Ze sent Yun Ci to the entrance of hell and then returned to heaven without looking back.
In his own words, he was afraid that after seeing Gui Deng, he would not be able to control himself and punch him.
Bai Ze covered his mouth and nose while crying, acting like a weak person.
“If I fight that guy this time, you will definitely help him, right, God Liu?”
Yun Ci's smile froze.
"If you use that tone again, I promise to beat you up right now."
"You've changed so quickly! It makes me so sad! It makes me so upset! Ah, I need the comfort of a beautiful woman's embrace—"
