Chapter 20 He thought he saw someone standing at the foot of his bed...

The final result was exactly what she expected.

Sikong Yan and that Director Xu were not familiar with each other; they just happened to enter the Ghost Market together, and then they had no further contact.

Since she couldn't get any information, Baili Shuang left.

Sikong Yan watched Baili Shuang's retreating figure. What he didn't say was that the young lady had told him about the ritual to summon the gods, nor did he tell her that she had lent him money to buy ginseng.

Intuition told Sikong Yan that it was best for him and his parents to know these things.

Just ...

"That young lady is actually the Director!"

Sikong Yan immediately told his father about it.

Unexpectedly, his father, Sikong Hao, didn't show much surprise. "Dad, you already knew?"

Sikong Hao smiled and said, "It's not that I know, but rather that I have some guesses."

"Dad, you didn't even tell me."

"Whether I tell you or not is the same. Just prepare well for the upcoming ritual to invite the gods. Who knows, Director Xu might take a liking to you." After all, sometimes fools are lucky.

Sikong Yan: ...Will the young lady be interested in me?
Sikong Yan didn't dare to think about it too much, but he would prepare well for this invocation ceremony.

Recently, both the metaphysical families in the human world and the underworld have been discussing Xu Qingling and the Heavenly Punishment of the Ghost Market that day.

Even the national authorities are paying close attention to Director Xu's actions, eagerly awaiting her arrival.

To this day, all they know is her name and what she looks like, provided by someone who saw Xu Qingling at the Ghost Market that day. They know nothing else.

The existence of the underworld has long been known to the national authorities, who have even occasionally cooperated with it.

Both sides are equal and harmonious, helping each other and getting along amicably.

Those metaphysical families act as intermediaries between the government and the underworld.

Once Director Xu favors a particular family, the state and the underworld will allocate some scarce resources to that family.

This is why those metaphysical families attach so much importance to this ritual of invoking the gods.

Xu Qingling was unaware of any of these matters at the moment.

That day, after leaving the ghost market, Xu Qingling returned to the general store.

Later, Sasha also returned. She had rushed back after overhearing the ghosts discussing things on the road to the underworld.

Upon confirming that her sister had almost been attacked in the ghost market, Sasha stomped her feet in anger, "That person was so awful! She was clearly being unreasonable, how could she sneak up on my sister like that?"

"She deserves to be punished by heavenly lightning, hmph."

However, Sasha also felt guilty, "Sister, I shouldn't have left. I should have stayed by your side to protect you at all times."

"It's alright, I have a seal to protect me." Sasha herself is a red spider lily, and a newly formed little fairy. She needs to return to the Yellow Springs Road from time to time to take root there and absorb nourishment.

"But sister, your dress is so pretty. Does it really keep your temperature under control?" Sasha, like a little butterfly, circled around Xu Qingling, curiously examining her blue and white dress.

"Yes, it seems to be called something like Blue Feather Phoenix Dress..." Xu Qingling really liked this dress.

Since wearing it, she has never felt cold again.

The entire body is in a very comfortable temperature, unaffected by changes in external temperature.

Blue Feather Phoenix Dress?

Sasha frowned and muttered to herself.

This name seems somewhat familiar.

Did she hear about it when she was in the underworld?

However, Sasha thought for a long time but still couldn't remember.

"I'm going to rest now. I need to go see Su Qian tomorrow." It was already evening when we left the ghost market. "Oh, by the way, this is some noodle soup I brought you..."

"Ah, it smells so good! Thank you, sister!" Sasa's cheerful voice filled the small building. ...

After parting ways with Xu Qingling, Su Qian went home with her daughter.

This so-called home was bought with her compensation money, but unfortunately, she and her daughter are destined to be outsiders in this home.

Su Qian knew Zhao Yuan was a scumbag as early as when she asked for leave. She had already been heartbroken. Now, she only wanted to get back everything that belonged to her daughter.

That evening, Zhao Yuan and his family of three did not return.

It's good that she's not coming back; Su Qian just happened to have cooked dinner for her daughter.

Unfortunately, she could cook, but she couldn't eat.

Even so, when Zhao Lanlan ate the first meal her biological mother had prepared for her, she couldn't help but shed tears after taking the first bite.

The taste was unfamiliar, yet she liked it very much. She thought, she finally knew what her mother's taste was like.

In the evening, Su Qian also helped her daughter with her homework. Su Qian was a top student, but her daughter's grades were even better than hers at the time, so she didn't need to help her.

Watching her daughter diligently working on her test at her desk, Su Qian sat beside her, and inexplicably felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

Su Qian wished time could stand still at this moment.

But she knew it was impossible; she only had five days.

Su Qian heard that it wasn't until after 10 p.m., when her daughter had fallen asleep, that Zhao Yuan and Lin Yin returned with their daughter, Zhao Tang.

Su Qian could still hear them chatting and laughing in the living room.

The family of three was happy and carefree, but her little Sakura was left behind, all alone.

but……

I recall the joy of the family of four I first saw in the video.

Su Qian thought that her daughter didn't need that kind of fake joy.

The noise outside seemed to be getting louder and louder. It was Zhao Tang discussing the plot of some movie. Seeing her daughter frown slightly, as if she was about to be woken up, Su Qian reached out and covered her daughter's ears.

Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter relax and fall into a deep sleep again.

With just a turn of her head, Su Qian looked outside, as if trying to see Zhao Yuan's family of three in the living room through the door. Her gaze was deep and intense...

In the living room, for some reason, Zhao Yuan and his family of three all shivered.

"It should be very hot in this weather, so why do I feel cold? Could it be that I have caught a cold?" Zhao Yuan murmured.

"Honey, why don't you go take a hot shower?"

"it is good."

Because they got back late, the three of them went to bed after washing up.

At night, the room was dark, with only the dim moonlight filtering through the half-open window.

Zhao Yuan was very sleepy. After lying down with Lin Yin, he soon drifted off to sleep.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt as if someone was breathing on his ears.

The air was extremely cold, like the cold air coming from a refrigerator.

Even with his eyes closed, he could sense that someone was staring intently at him.

But who could it be in the middle of the night?
Zhao Yuan opened his eyes in a daze.

The instant he opened his eyes, he thought he saw someone standing at the foot of his bed...
