Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

The charity cemetery is in the suburbs, and it is very quiet at night. In autumn, even the chirping of cicadas and croaking of frogs gradually disappears, and only one or two night owls can be heard occasionally.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had done physical work all day and had already gone to bed.

Only a female voice as soft as honey could be heard coming from Lin Jiu's door, and Lin Jiu's voice was kept very low for fear of disturbing his two disciples.

One quilt for one person and one cat.

Lin Jiu was lying flat on his back. Jingzhi struggled for a while and finally managed to grab one of Lin Jiu's arms.

At this moment, her cat-like chin rested on Lin Jiu's upper arm, her two white whiskers moved, she smacked her lips twice, and a pink and soft pad of flesh suddenly rested on Lin Jiu's left eyelid.

"You sleep, I'll practice here."

"..."

Is she really practicing or is she really sleeping?

Lin Jiu did not move, but his body became more and more stiff. After enduring for a while, he could no longer bear it.

He lifted the hem of his clothes, wrapped his tail around his waist and rubbed it, trying to pull it out while it was trying to slip onto his chest and cause trouble.

"If you continue like this, you'll be out." He scolded, but it was not convincing at all. His voice was full of helplessness and a little rustling.

"...Well, I've been back for several days, and I haven't even had time to kiss or hold hands. Now you're asking me to turn back into my original form. Don't you like me anymore?"

Lin Jiu lowered his eyes and stared at the cat's eyes that were sparkling and looked particularly pitiful in the darkness, but he couldn't bear to do it.

"No, I've been busy these past two days."

He rubbed her soft and smooth back hair twice, then rubbed her chewy ears. He wanted to kiss her round little head, but after rubbing it... he couldn't stop.

Only when Jingzhi heard a comfortable purring sound from her throat and a hint of satisfaction and a smile appeared in her cat-like eyes did Lin Jiu stop awkwardly.

"Isn't it nice to touch? It's worth letting me into your room!"

Lin Jiu blushed again, and he turned his head to the left and whispered, "Okay, if I don't practice now, it's time to go to bed."

"...Tsk, why don't you sleep? I'm practicing."

"Don't do anything naughty with your tail anymore." He instructed with red ears.

After all, the position was special, her hair was too soft, and it carried a trace of her warm body temperature. Lin Jiu's scalp was numb because of her tangled hair, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.

"...I really don't need your help—"

"Why don't you go out."

"I'm practicing, I'm starting to practice, you should go to sleep!"

If she hadn't teased him, he would have fallen asleep long ago.

Lin Jiu sighed deeply. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to have such an overly proactive fiancée...

……

It was not until the moment her spiritual power began to work that Lin Jiu realized that she was not lying.

He couldn't see any spiritual power, but he could feel as if there was an air lingering around her, penetrating into her body, and even he who was close to her benefited from it.

It was as if every cell in his body was washed and soaked in water of suitable temperature. Lin Jiu's tense body began to relax, and he felt so comfortable that he felt drowsy.

This was the first time in over forty years that he had fallen asleep so quickly.

He had a good night's sleep, and Jingzhi also benefited greatly.

In the past, in the next room, the speed of absorbing spiritual power was not only slow, but also like a network outage, with pauses every now and then.

Practicing in his arms tonight, the signal was immediately full, and the spiritual power flowed unimpeded into her veins.

Although the spiritual power in the air here was thin, she still managed to accumulate a little bit of it, just like suddenly changing to a high-speed charging head, and it was immediately filled to 10%.

She even had some spare spiritual energy to heal her poor tailbone...

……

The crisp chirping of birds outside the window woke up the sleeping Lin Jiu. He opened his eyelids slightly and turned his head to look at the sky outside.

But I saw that the dazzling sunlight had already poured in through the half-open window.

How long has he been sleeping?

When he turned around again, he saw Jingzhi had turned into a human form and put on clothes. She was holding her face, lying beside him, looking at him with a smile.

Seeing him open his eyes, she even lifted her legs up happily.

When the snow-white and well-proportioned calves caught his eye, Lin Jiu quickly looked away.

"Ajiu, it's already nine o'clock. You slept for a long time today."

She reached out her hand playfully and touched his tall nose bridge again, "I told you, let me in, it will be good for you."

Jingzhi rubbed the dust off her fingers and smiled awkwardly.

Lin Jiu was a little confused.

He felt his own condition and found that he felt refreshed and his mind was clear.

In the past, he would only be in this state after morning exercise, but now he is in this state as soon as he wakes up.

It's just... he felt like there was a foul smell in the air.

Not quite sure, he stole a glance at Jingzhi, and seeing that she was still staring at him, he simply lifted the quilt to cover his head and raised his hand to sniff his arm.

Uh...it's really him.

And the smell in the quilt is stronger.

Didn't she smell it?

Why can you still smile so happily?

Doesn’t she dislike it?

Lin Jiu was full of questions and felt very embarrassed. For a moment, he didn't dare to lift the quilt to meet her eyes.

At this moment, the quilt was gently patted. "Ajiu, this is normal. The cyclone driven by the spiritual power I absorb will bring some of the spiritual power into your body, just like cleansing the meridians and marrow, but the speed is slower. I told you that it is beneficial to let me in."

"Don't worry, you just excreted some impurities, so it smells a bit. It will be fine after a while."

Seeing that he still didn't move, Jingzhi patted him again, "Come out, the hot water has been put behind the screen for you, and your clothes are also ready. Take a bath, otherwise the water will be too cold."

"...Well, thank you." Lin Jiu replied sullenly, and quickly pointed to the door, "You go out first."

"...Okay, then hurry up."

It was not until he heard the sound of the door opening and closing that Lin Jiu took his flushed face out of the quilt.

It's really... so embarrassing.

He had never smelled so bad in his life.

Walking behind the screen, Lin Jiu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the large bathtub that was moved from the bathroom and the half-bucket of water that was steaming.

He was sleeping so soundly that he didn't even notice Jingzhi moving this thing.

No, we must be more vigilant.

"Ajiu, the soap next to the bathtub is for you. It's new." Her voice suddenly came from outside the door. Inexplicably, he could hear a hint of expectation in her voice.

What was she expecting?

Lin Jiu responded with "OK", then took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub. He picked up the soap and subconsciously put it close to his nose to sniff it.

The scented soap seems a bit feminine.

However, after smelling his own stench, he still chose to use it.

……

After taking a shower and getting dressed, Lin Jiu stared blankly at himself in the mirror.

He tilted his head and looked at his slightly damp hair.

By the way, isn't the hair on his temples a little darker?

"Knock knock knock!"

"Ajiu? You're not ready yet. I've already served you breakfast. If you don't come out soon, you'll have to wait for lunch!"

Never mind, things are moving in a good direction, aren't they?

Lin Jiu stopped worrying and straightened his clothes before walking over to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Jingzhi rushed forward like a bull and hugged Lin Jiu tightly with both his body and his hands.

"Ajiu, you smell so good, now you smell like me!"

Lin Jiu doesn't really care what he smells like, as long as he doesn't smell bad.

But seeing her eyebrows raised with joy, his heart softened.

Forget it, scented soap is not unacceptable.

……

This warm atmosphere only lasted until midnight today.

Lin Jiu fell asleep comfortably again, having enjoyed a peaceful day. Even when he was practicing, the corners of the furry little cat's mouth were turned up.

"Oh!"

Lin Jiu was more cautious tonight. When he heard the sound, he opened his eyes quickly, which scared Jingzhi who had interrupted her practice.

"……you're awake?"

Lin Jiu immediately turned over and got out of bed, "There's a sound, I'll go out and take a look."

"I am coming too!"

Lin Jiu turned around and was at a loss for words, "Are you...healed?"

He really couldn't say the word "butt".

Jingzhi nodded quickly, "Almost. In fact, after Qiu Sheng removed the needle, I felt a little better. Now I can walk normally without any problem."

"...Okay, put on your clothes and come out."

"Row!"

……

Lin Jiu lit the oil lamp on the table, then held the lamp and walked out of the room with light steps.

As soon as I closed the door, I heard a sudden crackling sound coming from the morgue.

Lin Jiu almost ran all the way to the morgue, but found the door open and no one inside.

If it wasn't Qiu Sheng and Wencai fooling around, then who else could it be?

His heart gradually lifted, and he stepped into the dark morgue with a dim oil lamp. He first walked to the altar and took his peach wood sword, and then stepped into the area where the coffin was placed to look for clues.

"Click."

Lin Jiu moved his feet and saw that it was a long piece of wood.

He lowered the oil lamp and took a closer look, only then did he discover some wood fragments on the ground.

This wood, in the form of sparse strips, looks somewhat familiar.

It's... a railing?!

As soon as he raised his head and looked towards the attic on the second floor, he heard a roar coming from behind.
