Those years, those jokes, those scum

"Who said monsters can't be afraid of ghosts?"

"But you've even seen a fierce ghost like Madam Ruan, so what are you afraid of?"

"What's so scary about Madam Ruan?"

"That's true." Leng Nuan nodded. After all, he looked quite decent when he appeared, and there was no sinister and cold aura from him.

"So what did you see just now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shuangjiang suddenly threw himself on Leng Nuan's body and hugged her tightly. Qin Shuangjiang was already very frightened and panicked. Now his eyes were filled with tears. He snorted in grievance, but didn't say anything.

Because of inertia, Leng Nuan hugged back and accidentally touched a soft and furry object. She looked down and saw that it was really scared. Look, the fox was so scared that its tail popped out.

"Um... Junior Master, do you want to put Miss Qin down first before asking..." This posture is rude. Liang Fei, who was standing a few miles away from them, whispered a suggestion.

After being reminded of this, Leng Nuan finally realized that something was indeed wrong.

She lowered her voice and asked soothingly, "Qin Shuangjiang, are you feeling better?"

"No." A muffled voice came from behind her shoulder.

"Ah~"

A sigh sounded in her ears, and Qin Shuangjiang could hear the helplessness in it. Based on her understanding of Leng Nuan these days, this person was probably going to throw her away. Well, this was indeed something she could do.

Qin Shuangjiang thought about getting down first, but the warm and refreshing embrace in her arms made her reluctant to leave, and the steady and regular heartbeat also made her feel at ease. As expected, she still liked this human.

But it was almost time. Just as Qin Shuangjiang was about to come down, a hand was placed on her back, patting it gently as if coaxing a child.

Is she trying to coax him?! Qin Shuangjiang widened his eyes and quickly stood up from her body, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Don't move suddenly, or you might fall." Leng Nuan adjusted her posture, carefully supporting her hips with her left arm, and her fluffy white tail swept across the back of her hand again. Leng Nuan mentioned, "Also, retract your tail."

At this moment, Qin Shuangjiang didn't need Leng Nuan to throw her, she jumped down by herself. A blush appeared on her delicate face.

The fox was lost at grandma's house!

Leng Nuan looked at him carefully and said as if to confirm: "It seems that nothing is wrong, so you can tell me now..."

"No!" Qin Shuangjiang's face immediately turned pale and he refused flatly.

"Ok."

"What have you discovered?" Since this question cannot be answered first, let's ask something else first.

"Ah, oh, Junior Master did find out." Liang Fei replied quickly.

"Then let's go back first."

"Leng Nuan, wait for me." Seeing Leng Nuan turning around to leave, Qin Shuangjiang took two steps at a time to come to her side and hugged her arms tightly.

On the way back, the three of them were silent.

Liang Fei looked at the two people standing close to each other in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the scene he had just seen.

Who said that the junior master is cold and unsympathetic! Isn't this very coaxing? Look at the tone, look at the action! Ah, that means they also have the opportunity to be treated like this! Ahem, Liang Fei, what are you thinking about? The junior master is decades younger than you, how can you be so embarrassed!

Qin Shuangjiang raised his head slightly and looked at the graceful jawline of the person next to him, his mind working rapidly.

This person's attitude towards her is getting better and better. So can she take the next step? When she thought of this, Qin Shuangjiang's eyes flashed with excitement, and a hint of shyness that she herself did not notice.

The dim Jingfan Temple made it impossible to tell what time it was. Only the waning moon hanging in the sky told them the time.

A group of people gathered together and told each other what they had encountered. Everyone had roughly the same information. Only Tang Saxiao was pulled back by the ring hanging around his neck while chasing.

"Sister, this is the place." He followed the ring's instructions and came to the backyard of the nunnery, where he found a well that was tightly sealed. He had tried various methods but still couldn't open it.

"There is a forbidden spell on it." Leng Nuan stepped forward and saw the problem at a glance. She felt that the seal on the well had a familiar feeling for some reason. Where had she seen it before?

Qin Shuangjiang followed inconspicuously and took a look, with a strange expression on her face. She was sure that the well was not like this the last time she came.

Anyway, since they were already here, they couldn't open the lid of the well despite casting spells. Finally, after discussion, they decided to stay here for the night.

Now the question is, should we stay together in one room, or should we not put all our eggs in one basket? After all, according to the general ghost story routine, the best way is for all the people to stay together.

After Leng Nuan put forward her suggestion, everyone followed her lead, so they had no objection to this decision.

Qin Shuangjiang's eyes turned quickly and he said, "Perhaps the shadowy figure saw that there were too many of you and didn't dare to come?"

"I suggest everyone spread out, maybe we can attract the enemy here."

After thinking about it, they found it made sense. Their purpose was to investigate the truth about the evil spirit. If nothing came, where would they find clues?

"I agree with Miss Qin's opinion." Tang Saxiao responded first. His intuition told him that this matter was not over yet.

Leng Nuan glanced at the two of them separately and didn't say much, but still changed the decision and assigned personnel.

Jingfan Temple looked shabby, but fortunately there were still many rooms. After choosing a room, the few people cleaned it up and went back to their rooms.

Leng Nuan said that she could understand that in this situation, Qin Shuangjiang following her was the best choice. She also knew that she needed someone to accompany her right now after being frightened. Well, this was also easy to understand. But...

One hand passed through her waist, and the soft body unique to a woman pressed against her back, and a strange warm breath was breathed on her ears.

"Leng Nuan~I'm not afraid~" The gentle voice is like a silk thread wrapped in honey, entwined and making people want to indulge in it.

Leng Nuan said nothing, she stood up, walked to her seat, poured herself a glass of water, and then said coldly while holding the glass: "Since you don't want to sleep, why don't we talk about what you saw."

"..." Thank you, she lost interest. When it comes to breaking the atmosphere, Leng Nuan is second, no one dares to claim first place!

You people who are not afraid of ghosts don’t understand our fear at all!

Qin Shuangjiang said unhappily: "Humph, then we can stick together now, right?"

She spun around, and instantly a wisp of white smoke floated in the room. Then the figure disappeared, and a pure white snow fox appeared in front of Leng Nuan.

Although Qin Shuangjiang, who was sitting on the bed in fox form, had to look up at the person in front of her because of her height and line of sight, she was full of confidence. No one could resist such a cute and beautiful fox!

"Oh, okay, that's fine." Leng Nuan nodded and lay back on the bed.

Look, she said it. She is so cute that she can't even resist this cold wood. Qin Shuangjiang proudly tiptoed and walked into Leng Nuan's arms, found a comfortable position, curled up and closed his eyes.

The weak candlelight on the table added a bit of warmth to this shabby room. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Shuangjiang, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the door vigilantly.

The tightly closed door seemed to exist in another time and space. It was opening at an eerily slow speed, and a dark shadow walked in silently.
