The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Shi Yang really couldn't hold it in any longer.

He huddled together with Xie Yixiu beside him and laughed heartily.

Shi Rong's face turned red.

"Oh, I was just kidding. Seriously."

As she spoke, the little woman stretched out her palms facing upwards towards Shi Yong.

The latter was stunned.

What do you mean? Money?

Shi Yong silently took out the wallet from his trouser pocket, took out an orange bank card, and handed it to Shi Rong.

"There's still 300 million left on the card. This is all my savings. Please be frugal and spend it wisely.

Your father doesn't have that much money right now, after all, he hasn't made a comeback yet, I'll give it to you when I make some money in the future."

???

Shi Rong was speechless.

What a mess! She put the bank card back into Shi Yong's wallet.

"Who asked you for money? Didn't you say you would give me a magical weapon? Give it to me..."

"what?"

Shi Yong was stunned, then turned to look at Shi Yang who was searching everywhere.

"I gave the magic weapon to Yang'er. Didn't he give it to you?"

Shi Rong: ...

Turning around, the little woman crossed her arms and looked at the money she had finally managed to get out of the narrow pocket of her clothes.

Shi Yang took out a brocade box of extremely exquisite workmanship.

Before Shi Yong could curse, she slammed the table again, scaring the father and son.

"Okay, Shi Yang, now you dare to steal my things, right?"

The man was speechless for a moment and kept waving his hands.

"No, baby, believe me, I really forgot, I wanted to give it to you just now in the room.

But we were in a hurry to distribute clothes to everyone, so I didn’t have time…”

cut!

Shi Rong raised his chin high in pride.

"That's just your excuse. I'm telling you, this isn't over between us unless you stretch out your hand and let me hit you."

Shi Yang wanted to cry but had no tears. His hands, which had just presented the brocade box, stopped where they were.

"Go ahead, hit as many times as you want, just put out the fire..."

Shi Rong took the brocade box away in a bad mood and slapped him in the face on his thickest palm, which was neither painful nor itchy.

He grumbled while beating.

"See if you dare to do it again next time."

Looking back, Shi Rong smiled at Shi Yong again with a flattering look on his face.

"Dad, don't be angry. Don't argue with Shi Yang. I've already beaten him for you. He'll definitely learn his lesson next time."

Only now did they understand Shi Rong's sudden nitpicking intention.

The main reason is that she is not a petty person. She shows her affection to Shi Yong to avoid Shi Yang getting beaten.

After hearing this, Shi Yong's eyelids fluttered.

"Just side with him. Sooner or later, he will be spoiled by you."

Shi Rong burst out laughing.

"Dad, look at what you said, how is this possible? I've almost been spoiled by him."

Shi Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the small and exquisite brocade box in his hand. The color was quite beautiful and the workmanship was also unique.

The fiery red rose is so lifelike in the rubbing that it seems as if it is about to bloom from the box.

Turning the brocade box over, Shi Rong saw a multi-legged reptile similar to a wall hanging carved on the bottom, and she couldn't help but frown.

"Dad, what kind of magical weapon is this? I've never seen it in a book.

If I open this buckle, will a bunch of bugs crawl out?

Shi Yong nodded without commenting.

“Yes, you can understand it that way.

Because this is the famous "Insect Death and Dream Instrument" that was developed by an anonymous Taoist master during the heyday of the Ming Dynasty.

The original purpose was to combine Taoism with South Asian witchcraft to release specially trained poisonous insects to confuse kings and indulge in beauty.

Later it was improved and turned into a powerful weapon for killing people and exorcising ghosts.

Among them, there are five levels of poisonous insects, namely centipedes, toads, young snakes, geckos, and spiders, with centipedes being the first and spiders being the second.

But in fact, my master once said that it is above the five poisons.

There is also the king of insects, the millipede, which feeds on the bones, flesh, blood, and essence of humans, as well as the souls of evil spirits.

In today's terms, it is a wall-crawler that is more than twice as large as an ordinary adult insect.

Once it touches your body, no one can defeat you, human or ghost.

Their biggest characteristic is that they bite their target and never let go until they have completely devoured it.

My master is a rare Taoist genius. He is not only good at Taoist magic, but also good at inventions.

The method of making the insect-killing and dream-removing device was taught to me by him. I learned it from my former employer, an entomologist.

I negotiated with him repeatedly about buying 10,000 adult millipedes at a high price. Those were his treasures that he had taken good care of for many years.

He agreed to give them to me, and after completely taming them, he locked them in this small brocade box.

There are two spells in total, one to release and one to take back."

Shi Yong produced a long, thin piece of paper from somewhere and pushed it in front of Shi Rong upside down.

“After you have read it and memorized it, the note will automatically disappear.

Remember, don't tell anyone easily, including your closest ones, especially Yang'er."

"Why!?"

When Shi Yang heard this, he became unhappy on the spot.

"Dad, what do you mean? Why can't you tell me?

Could it be that I would use the poisonous insect to harm Xi'er?"

Shi Yong curled the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.

"That's not the case. I'm afraid you might get impulsive and use it to harm others."

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingxing, Xia Zhi, and Ji Xinyue immediately lowered their heads and chuckled to themselves.

Tsk!

Shi Yang was speechless.

"Dad, am I that unreliable? Why are you still on guard against your own son?"

Shi Yong took a sip of the tea beside him.

"I'm not really on guard against you, I'm just telling you that spells are useless.

Because I have cast a spell on the brocade box, except for Rong'er.

No one else, including myself, can activate the Insect-Slaying Dream Device. Do you still want to know?"

Got it!

Shi Yang waved his hand in frustration.

"I don't want to..."

Huo Jiuzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why was that annoying? He hadn't remembered it in vain...

Noticing the little thoughts of the man sitting opposite him, Shi Rong smiled secretly.

Why does she always feel that Huo Jiuzhou seems to be much more cheerful recently?

It is no longer as lifeless as it used to be.

After the note turned into mist and dissipated, Shi Rong nodded to Shi Yong.

"Dad, I remember it, but... what I'm most afraid of is millipedes."

Yup!

After Shi Rong mentioned this, Shi Yang finally realized it.

"Yes, Dad, I have been afraid of wall-crawler since I was a child. Every time I encounter one, I will scream and shout.

You know, this thing is good, but it scares me..."

Huo Jiuzhou's narrowed eyes gradually relaxed. This was the reason why he secretly memorized the spell.

He will never forget the day they first met.

Even when she was sick, she would still be frightened and shrink back in fear when she accidentally saw a wriggling and twisting wall hook.

Shi Yong didn't say much, and easily dispelled Shi Rong's concerns with just one sentence.

"Let me ask you, are you afraid of death or insects?"

Shi Rong blurted out the words without even thinking.

"If you ask that, then I'd rather die..."

Aren’t they just a few bugs?

In the face of death, all living things in nature seem too small.

Life is precious, but courage is more precious! If it is for the greater good, both can be abandoned!
