Chapter 707 Ghost Lantern (6)
Yun Ci was used to Bai Ze being like this, so she just shouted at his back:
"Let's drink together next time."
Bai Ze did not respond, but Yun Ci knew he could hear her.
Yun Ci chuckled, turned around and walked into the passage leading to hell.
The two sisters guarding the gate here are Ox-headed and Horse-headed.
"Isn't this Lord Liushen? You haven't been here for a long time."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Is Lord Willow God coming to see the snapdragon again this time?"
"Yes."
"Then we have to go to Master Kizuna."
The Bull Head mysteriously put his hand to his lips and said in a low voice: "You haven't been here for a long time, so you may not know. Let me tell you, Master Gui Deng is in love!"
The horse head also came over, nodding repeatedly with a little excitement: "I heard that it was an alien ghost named Yun, and it seems that the two of them met because of the snapdragon!"
“Eh——Is that so?”
"Yes, yes! That ghost god, like Lord Liu Shen, often goes to admire snapdragons, and that's how he fell in love with Lord Hozumi!"
"How did you know?"
"Someone interviewed Master Hozuki a few days ago and mentioned the topic of his significant other. Master Hozuki actually said that he has a lover. This really made many female ghosts sad..."
Yun Ci listened to the gossip of Ox-Head and Horse-Head and came to the end of the passage.
"Ah, we're here. Then, Lord Willow, we won't bother you any more."
The two sisters waved at the smiling Yun Ci, turned around and walked back into the passage to continue their gatekeeping work.
"He actually announced the news of his being taken so straightforwardly..." Yun Ci laughed out loud, "What a self-aware man."
After crossing the bridge and passing by the Grandma Duoyi who was still guarding the river, Yun Ci headed towards the palace of King Yama.
"Looking for Master Kizuna? He's not here. It seems like he said he had an interview..."
Yun Ci, who didn't find anyone, sat back in her old seat - on the stairs in front of the snapdragon bush.
The snapdragons swayed, and from time to time they made neat "Oh Ga-Oh Ga-" sounds.
This sound is addictive.
"Oh, it is here after all."
A familiar voice sounded.
Gui Deng's figure appeared beside Yun Ci and also sat down on the stairs.
"Ms. Yunci really likes snapdragons."
"The first one must be Mr. Gui Deng." Yun Ci smiled and tilted her head to look at him, "So don't be jealous."
That won’t happen.
"Since we are already a couple, Miss Yunci, would you consider changing the way we address each other?"
"What a surprise! I didn't expect that Mr. Gui Deng would be the first to raise this question." Yun Ci raised her finger, "In that case, Mr. Gui Deng - Gui Deng will just call me Xiao Ci."
"Xiao Ci, Xiao Ci." Gui Deng repeated it twice, and suddenly wondered, "Why did that guy call you Liu Shen?"
"Ah, you mean Bai Ze." Yun Ci laughed, "That's just like your nickname 'ghost god', Gui Deng. Usually, few people would call you 'ghost god'..."
So does she.
Most people in the underworld call her "Lady Yunci".
Bai Ze wanted to make himself a little special. After finding out that no one called Yun Ci "Goddess of Willow", he started to call her "Goddess of Willow".
"——He probably didn't expect that. No one in the underworld called me that, but here, he led everyone to call me 'Lord Liushen'." Yun Ci smiled, "I guess everyone thought my name was Liushen."
For example, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Headed sisters.
Gui Deng made a "tsk" sound.
"That guy who is always in heat..."
Yun Ci tilted her head and looked at him: "Are you jealous? Although there are many ghosts who call me Xiao Ci, there is a name that is exclusively for you, Gui Deng."
Gui Deng looked at Yun Ci and suddenly smiled - although with his expression, the smile was not very obvious, but rather a bit scary.
"You are really anxious, Xiaoci."
"Really?" Yun Ci spread out her hands, motioned Gui Deng to put his hands up, and then interlocked their fingers with his. "Is it the most appropriate to call her 'girlfriend' now?"
Gui Deng, who was counterattacked, tightened his fingers slightly and rubbed the back of Yun Ci's hand with his fingertips with some force.
"girlfriend?"
"Any questions?"
"No, you are right. I will call you girlfriend from now on."
Yun Ci: “…”
This doesn't mean that I call her like this every time, right?
"Then should I also change to calling you boyfriend?"
"I think it's nice to just call me by my first name."
"I think 'Xiaoci' will be closer."
"Really? Isn't it more important for girlfriends to show each other's identities?"
Yun Ci smiled kindly: "Mr. Gui Deng, did you do this on purpose?"
Ok.
Sir, they have all been added back.
Gui Deng knew when to shut up.
"Would you like to look somewhere else?"
"Like what? Your office?"
"Today's work schedule is over, but if you want to go--"
"Going to the office to have a romance? I've never had this kind of experience before." Yun Ci said deliberately, "This is a bit too exciting. Why don't we go to your room and take a rest first."
"Let's go then."
Gui Deng took Yun Ci's hand, pulled her up, and led her directly into the building.
Occasionally, they would meet some prison guards working here, and they would look at Gui Deng and Yun Ci's hands clasped together in shock.
Although I already knew that Hozuki-sama was in love, but seeing them like this clearly...
"It's really shocking to the ghost."
"What shock?"
"My lord!" The jailer greeted him hastily, and then explained, "Master Gui Deng's lover just came."
"What?!" King Yama asked curiously, "Which direction? Over there? That's Hozuki's dormitory, right?"
King Yama covered his mouth exaggeratedly.
I wanted to go over and take a look, but I was afraid that Hozuki's s attribute would explode. I hesitated for a long time, but before I could make a decision, I was pulled away by other work.
Well, now I have no chance to watch it even if I want to.
"Please come in."
"Excuse me—this is your room."
Yun Ci looked at the small dormitory area. There was a single bed in the middle of the room.
There are several bookshelves along the edge of the wall, but it still seems a bit short of space, and there are also some books piled in the corners of the floor.
There are some peculiarly shaped ornaments on the cabinets and tables, among which the most common ones are those based on snapdragons.
Gui Deng took out a cushion and sat down, his eyes following Yun Ci's movements.
"By the way, I brought you a gift." Yun Ci took out a wooden box and placed it in front of Gui Deng. "I heard that you like to collect some magical things, so--"
Hozuki opened the wooden box and looked at the bronze fox mask lying quietly inside. His eyes were covered with purple for a moment, but it quickly dissipated.
"A mask that can cause ghosts to hallucinate..."
"I took this from the face of a blue-eyed fox corpse. Isn't it pretty?"
"Thank you, I like it very much." Gui Deng invited, "Would you like to visit my collection room? Pick out some things you like from it——"
