After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 61 Unwritten Rules

The two looked at each other and sighed: "This is the price of growing up. I feel unsafe everywhere now, as if something might jump out at any moment."

"Am I the same..."

The two unfortunate souls knocked on Bailu's door. When Bailu learned that the two wanted to come over to take a shower because of their fear of zombies, she was speechless: "So scared? You won this battle, what are you afraid of?"

Bai Wei shook her head pitifully: "I don't know either, but I'm just scared, scared of being alone, scared of not having a light!"

Egret: "..."

孽 孽!
Bai Lu sighed, "What do you need a light for in broad daylight? Besides, the light bulb in the bathroom is bigger than your head, how could there not be a light! And, if you're not taking a shower alone, how many people do you want?"

"I'm fine with showering by myself, just talk to me from the bathroom doorway!"

Bai Wei blinked.

The egret closed its eyes: "Why are you still taking a bath? I'll just use a dust-removing spell on you!"

So many things!

Pretentious
╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

Bai Wei shook her head: "I'm still not used to taking a dry shower without water. I feel like I don't get clean. Why don't you come in with me?"

Egret: "..."

"No, thank you, I've already washed."

LOL, Bai Lu refused Bai Wei's invitation to bathe together.

She never expected that the aftereffects of their fight against zombies would be like this.

Bai Lu looked at Bai Chen, who was also standing obediently to the side, clutching his pajamas, and asked, "Are you scared too?"

Bai Chen nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"

"Tsk—what a waste of being 1.8 meters tall!"

Bailu said, "Since you're all scared, let's help each other out. When your second sister is taking a shower, you stand at the bathroom door and talk to her. After she's finished, it's your turn to go in. She'll stay with you at the bathroom door!"

Bai Chen didn't care, but Bai Wei felt strange. Even though this person was her own brother, why was he making her watch over her while she took a bath?
I still feel awkward!

But since her sister had already said that, she had no choice but to obediently go inside after handing her phone to Bai Chen.

Upon entering the bathroom, she immediately looked around, even glancing at the toilet bowl, and even flushed it—

When she was little, she watched a movie, also a zombie movie, where one of the zombies actually stuck a hand out of the toilet!

What if you're in the bathroom?
After checking the bathroom inside and out, Bai Wei finally closed the bathroom door with peace of mind.

The egret took a deep breath, wanting to say a lot, but it felt like a fishbone was stuck in its throat, so it finally lay down on the deck chair and pretended to be dead.

"Bai Chen, speak!"

Bai Lu put the clothes away, turned on the shower, and then had Bai Chen start talking to her.

Speaking, used here as a noun.

"Say what?"

Bai Chen raised his voice, afraid that Bai Wei wouldn't hear the sound of water coming from the side.

"Say whatever you want, just speak like a normal person!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wei closed her eyes and shouted. She immediately started washing her hair. That damned zombie splashed corpse water all over her head and body, and she fell several times in the process, covered in dust. If her sister hadn't cast a dust-removing spell on her, she probably would have been asked to leave as soon as she entered the hotel.

Tsk, the profession of Xuan Master is not only high-risk, but also dirty! It's completely different from what's portrayed on TV!
It's so dirty!!
After Bai Wei finished speaking, she felt unsafe with her eyes closed, so she quickly opened them. She washed her hair with her eyes open like this, and even the shampoo foam in her eyes couldn't force her to close them. After thinking for a while, she turned her back to the wall, where she felt safe.

And so, in the room with three people, there were two siblings, separated by a toilet door, talking back and forth, saying nothing but nonsense.

Egrets lie down and watch videos, emphasizing a warm and comforting companionship.

The scene looked quite harmonious. If Bai Wei hadn't called out "Sister—" every two seconds, Bai Lu's video would have been scrolling much faster.

In a good mood today, Bai Lu tidied herself up, turned on the air conditioner, covered herself with a quilt, and leisurely scrolled through short videos. Little did she know that Bai Wei and Bai Chen would arrive shortly afterward.

It would be one thing if they came at us, but they were so terrified that they became suspicious and paranoid, seeing enemies everywhere.

She couldn't bear to watch anymore and kept scrolling through the videos, but Bai Wei wouldn't have it. She suddenly called out "Sister" twice, as if calling back a lost soul. If there was no response, she would keep calling out, as if afraid that Bai Lu would run away.

……

After Bai Wei finished washing up, Bai Chen finished washing up, and there was never a moment of peace in Bai Lu's room; the talking never stopped for a second.

I thought the two of them would obediently go back after taking a shower, but who knew they had no such intention at all.

They wanted to sleep with the egrets, claiming it was to rekindle the sibling bond they shared as children.

"Just to be safe, get down on your knees and check under the bed—"

Bai Wei had just dried her hair with her spiritual power, then stood two meters away from the bed and said to Bai Chen, who cursed, "If you're scared, go by yourself! I... I'm scared too!"

But his body betrayed him as he slowly approached the bed, turned on his phone's flashlight and shone it under the bed, because the bed under the hotel was quite low, so he had to lie very low.

Before watching, Bai Chen was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't have, but after watching, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's safe, let's go up."

Bai Wei sat down on the edge of the bed and had just taken off her slippers when Bai Chen stretched out his hand like Er Kang and shouted, "Wait a minute! Your shoes!! Don't point the toes of your shoes at the bed! Have you forgotten?! This is an unwritten rule for inviting a ghost to possess you!"

"what!"

Bai Wei was startled. Without even trying to tell if they were real or fake, she quickly turned the toes of the slippers around. When that didn't work, she tried another pair, but that didn't work either. So she simply stacked the slippers together and threw them in the entryway of the room!
Bai Chen also walked barefoot, carrying his shoes, to the entrance, and then tiptoed back on the carpet.

Bai Wei panicked: "Why are you standing on your tiptoes! In Uncle Ying's movies, people only stand on their tiptoes when they're possessed by ghosts! You can't be—Sister!!"

Egret: "..."

These two sworn enemies, have they really taken their fake relationship into real life?!
She believed they were a little scared at first, but now this exaggerated storyline must have been staged!
"No, no, no! I wasn't possessed by a ghost!"

Bai Chen waved his hands repeatedly and quickly stepped back onto the ground, saying, "I was just afraid of getting my feet dirty."

Then, sitting on the edge of the bed, they patted off non-existent dust from the soles of their feet before crawling into bed. The two of them sat on either side of Bai Lu.

A two-meter-wide quilt is still too much for three people to share; the two people next to them could easily slip one leg out.

So Bai Wei draped her legs over Bai Lu's legs.

The egret watched coldly from the sidelines for a long time!

Seeing that they had quieted down, he pulled his arm away, rubbed his face vigorously, and said in a low voice, "Following me to cultivate has really been a waste of your time—"

"Where did they learn this rubbish?!"

"You are cultivators, brothers and sisters!"

"You guys have opened your third eye! Can't you tell if there's a ghost in this space?!"

(◎_◎;) OMG!
Bai Chen touched his eyes: "We've opened our Heavenly Eyes? When did we open them?"

"It will automatically open once the Qi is successfully drawn into the body!"

"I haven't seen a single ghost in all this time!"

“The area around Sanqing Mountain is too clean, which is a waste of your time…” Bai Chen: “Then you can’t blame me and my second sister! My goodness! After living for more than 20 years, seeing a real zombie is quite an shock. We need to take some time to recover! Let me be scared for a couple of days first.”

"I estimate it will take three days."

Bai Wei held up three fingers.

Egret: "..."

Fine, let them be!

The egret told itself.

After all, it's their first time experiencing something like this, and they all need time to process it. Whether it's real or acting, let them act it out!
Her only small request was that they could be more normal.

"Bai Chen, do you think it's shameful for someone your age to still be sleeping with an older sister?"

Bai Lu pushed Bai Chen's head away from her shoulder with one finger: "Can we sleep on the floor instead?"

"That's definitely not possible!"

Bai Chen refused without hesitation, saying, "What kind of relationship do we have? What's wrong with sleeping in the same bed? When we were kids, in our old house, there was only room for two beds, one for my parents and one for the three of us. There was only about half a meter of space between us to get in and out of bed. We slept together just fine back then, didn't we?"

Egret: "...You were only five or six years old at the time, and your little Gigi hadn't even developed yet."

"You're being way too blunt!" Bai Chen rolled his eyes. "Anyway, I'm not leaving!"

He lay down, rolled over, and rolled the blanket all the way away.

Egret: Okay, you win.

So the hotel was happy to offer an extra bed, which was next to the king bed, exclusively for Bai Chen. However, it was of no use. The two of them were still watching videos next to her. Three phones, three different videos, and the background music was incredibly loud!
Bai Lu immediately lost interest; she wanted to sleep. Bai Wei insisted, "Don't turn off the lights!"

She can now understand what kind of life Bailu lived when she was timid as a mouse; she was always afraid of the slightest disturbance.

I don't know what she went through in the cultivation world, but she's become so arrogant now, unafraid of ghosts or zombies!
Bai Wei felt sorry for Bai Lu, but found that she had already fallen asleep.

—That mentality is as steady as an old dog!

Bai Wei was incredibly envious. Every time she closed her eyes, all she could see was the disgusting face of the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled, arrogant young man) zombie and the fear of being chased by it. My god, she probably wouldn't be able to get over this trauma for three days.

Bai Chen, lying on the small bed, glanced at Bai Lu and felt extremely at ease, then closed his eyes.

……

That was a truly wonderful and restful sleep.

These two were sleeping so soundly, probably dreaming of fighting zombies again, punching and kicking. As they slept, the egret sleeping in the middle was abruptly woken up, then stared straight at the ceiling, silently using its spiritual energy to protect itself.

孽 孽!
She regretted bringing them out to see the world!

I don't know how much time passed before I finally fell asleep again, and when I woke up I was still in a crowded environment.

Bai Wei's head rested on her arm. Bai Chen, who was lying on the small bed, had somehow moved over and was sleeping sideways. His not-so-thick arm was resting heavily on her forehead.

Just as Bai Lu shook off Bai Chen's arm, her phone rang. It was Master Qingxu calling.

Bai Chen and Bai Wei were woken up by the noise. Seeing that Bai Lu was still there, they rolled over—

I originally wanted to continue sleeping.

But Bai Wei rolled over and got off the bed.

She sat on the ground with her hair disheveled, her eyes blank.

The egret reached out its hand but couldn't grab her.

"What's wrong?" Bai Chen was awakened by Bai Wei's commotion. He propped himself up and looked towards the source of the noise. It turned out that her second sister had rolled off the bed.

That's okay.

He lay down again.

As soon as Bai Lu answered the phone, he heard Master Qingxu say, "Young friend Bai Lu, do you have time to come over to Boss Wang's construction site? The tomb has been excavated, and there are some things I'd like to ask you about!"

What is she going to do?

Why don't they handle this themselves?
After thinking about it, Bailu agreed: "Okay, I'll go over after I finish dinner."

I slept from daytime until evening, and before I knew it, it was getting dark again.

She had nothing else to do, so she figured it would be good to see how the authorities handled these paranormal events and broaden her horizons.

After Bai Lu finished speaking, she looked at Bai Chen and Bai Wei: "I'm going to Boss Wang's construction site in a bit, are you guys coming?"

"Go."

Bai Chen and Bai Wei exchanged a glance and said in unison.

Although they were indeed frightened yesterday, his sister was right. They are cultivators, and they can act coy for a bit, but if they are truly afraid, they have to find a way to overcome it.

The most effective way to overcome fear is to face it directly.

Get up wherever you fall.

After washing up, the three went downstairs to the restaurant. The five-star hotel that Mr. Wang had booked included a buffet dinner. The three ate a little something and when they arrived on the first floor, the hotel receptionist told them that Mr. Wang had arranged a car for them. The driver was an acquaintance, one of the eight burly men who would be staying the latest.

"Great...Master!"

The driver opened the car door for the egrets and kept glancing at them through the rearview mirror while driving.

The egret pretended not to see it.

Bai Chen and Bai Wei nestled together—

Damn it, it's getting dark!
She/He is still a little scared!
When we arrived at the brightly lit construction site, it had already been sealed off. To avoid causing panic, fences were used to block the view from the outside. Inside, the control was very strict, with many people moving around. Even those who drove there were asked to get out of their cars for inspection.

This is not a place that ordinary people can come to.

The only ordinary people allowed in were Boss Wang and the bodyguard he had insisted on.

"Master, you've arrived!"

Upon seeing Bai Lu, Wang Jian hurried over and led the three of them in, saying, "Master Qingxu and Mr. Lu are in the conference room. Please come in!"

God bless this matter to be resolved perfectly, so that his large piece of land won't go to waste!

The so-called conference room was just a large, luxurious tent.

At first, Bai Lu thought it was some kind of magical artifact, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was modern technology, built overnight. Inside, many people were having a lively discussion, and Bai Lu's appearance brought a moment of silence to the scene.

"Young friend Bailu has arrived!" Master Qingxu stood up and introduced to the dozen or so people present: "This is our newest member from Xicheng, Jiangxi Province: Bailu, Baiwei, and Baichen! This is Mr. Lu, the head of the Xuanmen sect in the capital."

Then he said to the egret, "Please sit down—your seats are next to the pine breeze."

"Hello, everyone."

The egret gave a soft greeting.
