A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

She found it strange that since her brother had returned to Beijing, why didn't he come home?

Seeing her brother's figure gradually disappear into the shadows, she disregarded Cailian who was following behind her and chased after him frantically. She didn't know how many alleys she turned, until she stopped in an open space. There was no one around, only an empty house with its door open in front of her.

Strange! Is my brother in here?

Xin Moyan hesitated, unsure whether to go in. However, she had followed her brother, and this was the only house in front of her. Her brother should be inside, right?

She thought for a moment, then stepped inside. The entire house was eerily quiet, without a single lantern hanging, and a cool breeze blew past her ears, making it seem even more sinister and eerie in the moonlight…

Looking at the surroundings, she unconsciously swallowed. Such a luxurious mansion was completely deserted. Could it be haunted?

The more Xin Moyan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She didn't dare to go any further and hurriedly turned to leave.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, she watched helplessly as the heavy door slammed shut on its own!

There really are ghosts!!!

Without thinking too much, she rushed forward to open the door and run out, but then she heard a soft footstep beside her. Her whole body went numb, and even the strands of hair seemed to stand on end.

Suddenly, a hand pressed down on her shoulder. The palm was as cold as ice, and the coldness spread through her clothes to her shoulder and then to her whole body. She was stiff and didn't dare to look back. Only a ghost's body temperature is so low!

"Hehe~ Little girl!"

Wow~ What an ethereal voice, and it's a male ghost, he... why is he laughing!

Seeing that she remained stiff and dared not turn around, he pressed his hand on Xin Moyan's shoulder slightly harder, turning her whole body in front of him.

Xin Moyan was forced to turn around and face him. Looking back, she saw the person's face clearly by the moonlight, and her legs went weak. He was dressed in white, had white hair, and a tall and slender figure. Who else could it be but Bai Wuchang? And a handsome Bai Wuchang at that!

"Thank... Brother Xie, please let me go, I haven't lived enough yet!" Xin Moyan pleaded with the man in front of her, trembling, no longer daring to meet his eyes from the underworld, only staring at the white chest in front of her as she spoke.

He was momentarily stunned. "How do you know my surname is Xie? Didn't you have amnesia?"

So... he really is Xie Bi'an! Xin Moyan's vision went black, but she forced herself not to kneel down.

"Brother Xie, please don't take me with you. I've never been twenty years old in my two lifetimes combined. Please let me live a few more years!"

Xin Moyan clasped her hands together, pouting with a wronged look on her face. Was she too late to be filial to her parents in her past life, and now she was too late to be filial to her brother?

Xie Cangming lifted her chin with interest, making Xin Moyan look directly at him.

"Little girl, you only knew I was going to silence you?"

Although I don't know why Bai Wuchang is different from the legends, not only does he not have a long tongue, but he is also quite handsome, his pale face and the chill emanating from his body are obviously Xie Bi'an himself!

"Brother Xie, Grandpa Xie, I beg you, I haven't seen my brother yet, please let me live for two more years, okay?"

Xin Moyan admitted that she had no backbone at all, and she still had to bow her head when she needed to, after all, the person in front of her was not a person, but a ghost!

Upon hearing the word "grandpa," Xie Cangming's eye twitched. He was just a white-haired man who was reasonably good-looking, so how did he become a grandfather?

"I won't kill you."

"Oh? Really? Thank you then. I...I'll take my leave now, so as not to bother you any longer."

After saying that, Xin Moyan immediately turned around and tried to forcefully open the door to go out, but the door was blocked by one of his fingers. It was as heavy as a thousand pounds and he couldn't open it no matter what he did. It seems that he really is a ghost.

Xin Moyan turned around mechanically and asked nervously, "Ghost... no, Brother Xie, didn't you say you would let me go?"

"You keep calling me 'Big Brother,' aren't you afraid Xin Moling will get jealous?"

Before she could react to why the 'White Impermanence' in front of her would address her brother by his name, she immediately changed her tune, saying, "Yes! It was my rudeness, thank you... thank you, Great Immortal?"

"..."

He's ignoring me. Is it wrong to call him that? Don't ghosts like to be called "Great Immortal"? Or does he want me to call him something more human?

"Then Uncle Xie?"

"..."

"Uncle Xie?"

"Master Xie?"

"Enough, am I that old?"

The more Xie Cangming listened, the more his temples throbbed uncontrollably.

"No! You are not old, you are very young, you will never decline for a thousand years, you will never grow old for ten thousand years!"

Xin Moyan was almost in tears. Why was he so difficult? He clearly said he wouldn't kill me, but he wouldn't let me leave either, and he still wasn't satisfied with these ways of addressing me.

"Haha~"

His smile was so sinister and eerie, oh my god!

"Little girl, if you never decline for a thousand years and never age for ten thousand years, wouldn't you become a monster?"

“You and a monster… aren’t you almost the same?” she muttered softly, but he still heard her.

Xie Cangming then realized that she had thought he was a ghost because of the eerie atmosphere of the house. She reached out her finger and poked Xin Moyan's head, explaining earnestly, "I am a human, not a ghost."

"what?"

Xin Moyan raised her head blankly. Wasn't he Xie Bi'an, the White Impermanence?

Seeing her incredulous look, Xie Cangming said helplessly, "I really am human."

After saying that, he instantly grabbed Xin Moyan's wrist and pulled it to his collar, making her press her fingers against the artery in his neck so she could feel his heartbeat.

The icy touch on her fingertips made her instinctively want to pull her hand away, but Xie Cangming held her down to prevent her from moving.

Hmm? It really does seem to be a person. Although the body temperature is very low, it's not completely cold. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Sir, since you are a person, why did you scare me?"

"Uncle?"

She then looked up at Xie Cangming, only to be caught in his gaze. His pupils were not the usual black, but a light brown mixed with a hint of blue, with stars seemingly swirling in them. He had a handsome face, a high nose and thin lips, and porcelain-white hair that was half-draped over his shoulders, giving him a slightly eerie look. Yet, he exuded a sense of killing without leaving a trace.

Xin Moyan withdrew her gaze from him and asked, "Then... young master, can you let me go?"

"Okay, first answer me, why are you here?"

"I came to find my brother, but I accidentally wandered into your residence. I'm sorry."

Xie Cangming's lips curled up slightly as he chuckled, "You have indeed changed, and you're quite interesting."

"Do you know me?"

"Then do you know me?"

Xin Moyan shook her head.

Xie Cangming became curious. Xin Moyan couldn't possibly recognize him now. "If you don't know me, how do you know my surname is Xie?"

"I thought you were a ghost. Isn't the White Impermanence called Xie Bi'an?"

"Wha...what?"
