I write novels in Liyue

She originally planned to go to Hu Tao, since the funeral industry has no taboos.

But then I thought it wouldn't be right to bother Hu Tao so late...

Of course, the main reason is that I didn't think much before I ran home, and now it's so late outside, there are hardly any people on the streets.

She was afraid to go out...

What if we run into that little boy when we go out?

What if... the little boy is standing outside the door, grinning sinisterly at her as soon as she opens the door?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when a knock sounded at the door.

As the knock sounded, Fang Qiu's heart skipped a beat.

……

……

P.S.: I've been revising this for a long time, probably cutting more than a chapter of plot. I couldn't stay up any longer after writing 6,000 words yesterday, so I'll take a nap first.

I recommend a Python book; it's a friend's book.

Don't shoot, I'm just a content creator who posts content about Honkai Impact 3rd!

Chapter 205 So soft, so fragrant

In an instant, cold sweat covered his entire body, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She remembered the ghost story Hu Tao had told her when she and Hu Tao went to see Yun Jin perform.

A ghost knocks on the door.

How to do?

For a moment, Fang Qiu was at a loss.

Did you escape through the window?

But given the height outside the window, and her physical condition, once she jumps, she won't be afraid of ghosts outside the door anymore. Maybe they can even go knocking on other people's doors in the middle of the night and become colleagues...

Or should we just go for it?

What if Teyvat's Ghost eats physical attacks?

Just as Fang Qiu was so nervous that her brain was overloaded, Hu Tao's voice came from outside the door.

"Fang Qiu, are you asleep?"

Uh?

Is that Walnut's voice?

Fang Qiu was overjoyed, but just as she was about to open the door, her hand suddenly froze.

She hesitated for a moment, leaned against the door, and asked Hu Tao several questions. Only after Hu Tao answered them all correctly did she open the door.

"Fang Qiu, are you alright..."

Seeing Fang Qiu's face, which looked like she was about to cry but also relieved, Hu Tao was about to ask her a question.

However, before she could finish speaking, she saw Fang Qiu's legs buckle and she was about to fall to the ground.

Hu Tao quickly dropped the protective mat and hugged Fang Qiu from the front.

Instantly, a delicate and elegant fragrance wafted into my nostrils.

Fragrant jade fills my arms.

So soft and fragrant.

The touch of their skin was incredibly delicate and smooth, and there was also Fang Qiu's chest pressed against his body...

However, the strange feeling in my heart quickly dissipated.

Because she could feel Fang Qiu's body trembling slightly, and she could hear soft sobbing in her ear.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Hu Tao gently patted Fang Qiu on the back and said.

With her reassurance, Fang Qiu gradually calmed down.

After calming down, Fang Qiu's face immediately turned red, and her fair face seemed to be covered with an alluring orange-red glow from the setting sun.

This is so embarrassing...

He actually cried in front of Hu Tao...

"Come in and have a seat."

Fang Qiu gently stepped out of Hu Tao's embrace, then wiped away her tears and said.

"Ah."

Hu Tao nodded, picked up the toy horse that was thrown aside, and followed Fang Qiu into the house.

After Hu Tao entered the house, Fang Qiu realized that San Mi had also come along.

As soon as it entered the house, it happily ran towards Tingyu.

"When I set off, the little one jumped onto my shoulder and chased after me, so I just brought her along."

"Hu Tao said."

"By the way, what brings you here? And why did you bring your bodyguard with you?"

With Hu Tao around, Fang Qiu's tension and fear eased considerably. She served Hu Tao some snacks and tea and asked her questions.

When Fang Qiu asked, Hu Tao told him about the conversation she had overheard between Xing Qiu and Chong Yun.

"Thank you, Walnut."

After listening, Fang Qiu was moved, but he was also puzzled. So he told Hu Tao everything he had seen by the river.

"You mean, the little boy was leading the little girl into the river, and after you spotted him, he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Hu Tao stroked her chin, frowned slightly, and asked.

“That’s right, I definitely didn’t see it wrong. You just said that when Xingqiu and Chongyun asked the little girl, she did mention a little boy.”

Fang Qiu said with a confident expression.

After she finished speaking, she paused, then exhaled and said, "Hu Tao, tell me honestly, do ghosts really exist in this world?"

Seeing Fang Qiu's determined look, Hu Tao sighed and said, "Yes, there are, but generally speaking, ghosts don't have the ability to harm ordinary people. That little boy by the river was actually quite a vicious fellow..."

"Then why did you tell me last time there were no ghosts...?"

Fang Qiu asked.

"The work of the Hall of Rebirth is not only to hold funeral ceremonies, but also to maintain the boundary between life and death. This boundary between life and death is somewhat similar to the ghost realm in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series you wrote. This includes correcting ordinary people's understanding of death and ghosts. Simply put, it is to keep people who cannot see the boundary as far away from it as possible."

Hu Tao said helplessly, "So for ordinary people, the best state is to not know about ghosts and monsters, or to believe that they don't exist at all. After all, even if you know, it will only increase your fear."

Fang Qiu was somewhat helpless in the face of Hu Tao's answer.

After all, what she said made a lot of sense...

For normal people, knowing these things would only increase their fear.

It seems I need to find some time to learn how to catch ghosts.

However, I never expected that the Hall of Rebirth would bear such a great mission, and that Hu Tao could even catch ghosts?

"I need to go to that riverbank you mentioned in a couple of days to see the little boy pass away."

Walnut took a bite of the pastry and said.

"Two days later? Aren't you going right away?"

Fang Qiu asked.

"Chongyun's pure Yang body scared that brat away a long time ago. He probably won't dare to come out again for several days."

Hu Tao shrugged and said, "There was a wealthy socialite before who was said to be able to chat with the Seven Stars of Liyue for quite a while."

Uh……

It doesn't seem too difficult to strike up a conversation with the Liyue Seven Stars...

She spent the whole day at the confectionery shop with Liyue Qixing and Qixing's chief secretary.

However, Fang Qiu did not interrupt Hu Tao.

“Every night, strange noises would be heard in the house of that wealthy lady. She couldn’t stand the disturbance, so she hired many exorcists, but none of them worked. Even I was alarmed. However, when Zhongli and I arrived, Chongyun had already solved the problem. He did nothing but sit in the yard in a chair all night and the evil spirits were gone. It was a waste of time for Zhongli and me.”

Hu Tao waved her hand and said with a smile, "That guy is pure yang energy, yin and yang in harmony, a natural pure yang body. Ordinary demons and ghosts are scared away by him from afar. If they are too slow, they will be in big trouble. Just being around him, the yang energy is something that ordinary demons and ghosts cannot withstand. So, that guy has never seen a ghost. A Taoist priest who can't see ghosts and has never seen ghosts, haha, how funny."

As if infected by Hu Tao's smile, Fang Qiu couldn't help but laugh twice as well.

However, at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.

It's a wonderful thing that you can't see ghosts.

However, then again.

When the time comes, once I buy a new house, I'll invite Chongyun to sit in the yard for a day every now and then.

In this way, you won't be afraid of demons and ghosts.

I just don't know how much Chongyun charges.

However, he is still my fan, and I even look like his aunt, so he should give me a discount, right?

P.S.: There will be more updates later.

Chapter 206 Sleep with me tonight

Tingyu lay lazily on the quilt, while Sanmi bounced around her.
