"Mm," Jiuge responded.
Her body had already stiffened from nervousness.
Although Jiuge had previously vowed to solve her parents' problems, deep down she wasn't very confident.
In response, she even made the worst-case scenario plan—to elope with An Chen and travel throughout China while exorcising spirits.
"Here's what happened. After I went in, I first met Gong Jun and Huang Jingjing." An Chen decided to start from the beginning and explain in detail.
"...Don't mention that woman!" Jiu Ge began to suspect that An Chen was doing it on purpose.
Intentionally making yourself jealous!
"Yes, and then they took me to the spiritual energy testing room."
There was a traffic light ahead, and seeing that Jiu Ge was still rushing forward with stiff steps, An Chen quickly stopped.
"Inside the spiritual power testing room is Yu Bei, whose face and body are covered in scribbles." He held onto Jiu Ge's taut waist and carefully walked forward towards the zebra crossing.
The weather has cooled down considerably, and there are groups of pedestrians on the street.
The cars were one after another.
If An Chen wasn't mistaken, there were still many vehicles stuck in traffic at the intersection in the distance.
The drivers kept honking their horns, making the environment quite noisy.
"Are you kidding me? The spiritual power testing room is full of witches or wizards, while Yu Bei is a doctor." Jiu Ge said incredulously.
"Perhaps to help a witch, they used some method to draw some runes, so that he could use the witch's abilities for a short period of time," An Chen explained patiently.
“Helping others… Hmm, okay, go on.” Jiuge believed her.
She sighed and slowly looked straight ahead.
“I accidentally exposed myself while testing my spiritual power…” An Chen said with a guilty tone.
"What?" Jiuge stomped her foot, her eyes widening in disbelief.
"I accidentally revealed a little bit, it's not a big deal." An Chen suppressed a smile and took Jiu Ge's arm as they turned a corner.
"..." Jiuge remained silent.
“Before leaving, I used their supplementary divination service and asked some questions, one of which was when I could marry you,” An Chen explained seriously.
Jiuge's heartbeat quickened quietly.
She hadn't used that service when she took her spiritual power test before, which saved her a lot of steps.
Even so, Jiuge knew just how powerful a witch who could conduct spiritual power tests must be.
If a divination were actually performed, the result would be almost certainly accurate.
"In short, I finally got the result that I'm sure I can marry you." After explaining the process, An Chen smiled slightly at Jiu Ge.
"You mean you originally thought you might not be able to marry me?" Jiu Ge, who was overjoyed, suddenly turned serious again.
For some reason, she couldn't help but delve into the meaning of An Chen's words.
"I'll get angry if you keep thinking like that."
An Chen panicked for a moment.
He straightened his face and cleverly took the initiative.
Chapter 252 His heart was shattered into pieces (Seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)
When An Chen and Jiu Ge returned to the community, all lovey-dovey, Zhang Zhidao, dressed in casual clothes, was staring blankly at the Spirit Realm Mental Health Clinic with a look of horror on his face.
"What's wrong?" An Chen asked kindly as he led Jiu Ge over.
"It's hot over there because your brother is there, not because it's haunted," Jiu Ge kindly reminded Zhang Zhidao, her cheeks flushed.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.
What isn't a ghost?
Isn't that a ghost?
It's just a ghost.
"I...I know." Zhang nodded blankly, his eyes still fixed on the Spirit Realm Mental Health Clinic.
Not only that, he didn't even notice who was talking to him.
"What's wrong with you? Are you possessed?" An Chen frowned slightly.
"Is there something wrong with the knight? Or is the box I gave you broken?" He felt a little confused.
Even if something went wrong, An Chen shouldn't have been completely oblivious to it.
"No." Zhang Zhidao took a deep breath and came to his senses.
"Ah, it's Ms. Jiuge and Mr. Anchen." He was so nervous that he accidentally used the honorifics.
“…” An Chen and Jiu Ge remained silent.
"What did you just ask me?" Zhang Zhidao's chest heaved violently.
He forced a smile at An Chen and Jiu Ge while glancing repeatedly toward the Spirit Realm Mental Clinic.
Because of the cooler weather and the strange reputation it has built up over this period, the Spirit World Spiritual Clinic is now surrounded by a large number of spirits.
There was a large group of men, women, and children, including some who looked like babies.
They surrounded Zhang Zhidong, Mao Maotou, and the little parrot so densely that Zhang Zhidong didn't even notice his younger brother Zhang Zhidao, who had been standing at the community entrance for quite some time.
It's truly the biggest regret that the brother-obsessed couple is so close.
Jiuge blushed and stared blankly at the baby, her face first filled with regret.
Then, as if she had thought of something, the blush on her cheeks deepened.
Jiuge suddenly realized why there were more living people on the way back, but not many spirits.
It turns out that most of the Quanju members came to pay their respects to Zhang Zhidong.
"I'm asking if something happened to you." An Chen observed Zhang Zhidao calmly.
He saw some blurry shadows in Zhang Zhidao's pupils.
“No, it’s just…” Zhang Zhidao scratched his head, his expression very unnatural.
“You have the ability to see ghosts.” An Chen roughly understood the current situation.
"Huh?" Jiuge turned around and winked at Zhang Zhidao.
"No, it's just a method that allows you to see for a short time." Zhang Zhidao sighed, trying to overcome the urge to visit the spiritual realm's mental health clinic.
He pestered Iron Man for a long time before Iron Man reluctantly used strange materials to create a potion that could soften the aura and briefly activate the third eye.
Considering that Zhang Zhidao was a police officer, the other party also reminded Zhang Zhidao to relax and forget that he was a police officer.
Zhang Zhi put eye drops in his eyes, thinking he would be satisfied if he could see his brother a few more times. However, he did not expect that the strange spirits he saw after going downstairs were so...so terrifying.
And what he found even more unacceptable was...
Someone like my brother actually has a wife in the spirit world and a black son with only a few hairs on his head.
Zhang Zhidao had assumed that his brother was also a chivalrous hero in the spirit world.
But right now it seems more like they're just playing tricks to swindle money.
In an instant, his heart shattered into pieces.
The idol filter has also shattered.
“It’s not good for ordinary people to see this kind of thing.” An Chen patted Zhang Zhidao on the shoulder.
Zhang knew but didn't say anything.
Even though deafening shouts of "Not bad!" continued to echo from afar, his expression gradually shifted from fear to dejection.
"I also suggest you use that potion less often." Jiu Ge looked thoughtfully at Zhang Zhidao's expression, a strange understanding forming in her mind.
"Savior!" Zhang Zhidao suddenly shouted.
Passersby strolling and relaxing in the shade frequently glanced at the scene.
Fortunately, Zhang was not wearing a police uniform, otherwise it would have been a much bigger problem.
“…” An Chen squeezed Jiu Ge’s hand, then turned and left on the spot.
"Huh? Aren't we going to just leave him alone?" Jiuge tilted her head, looking puzzled.
The blush on her face finally faded.
It's not a psychological issue if an ordinary person suddenly sees a spirit.
Even with a strong enough mindset, it's practically impossible to avoid having one's luck or fortune affected.
The idea that encountering a ghost will bring bad luck for a while also stems from this belief.
Given Zhang's level of brother complex, if he spent all his free time looking at his brother...
Putting aside bad luck, with so many densely packed spirits, there's bound to be one that Zhang knows isn't so kind and has strong magic resistance.
Over time, problems will definitely arise.
"Savior! May I ask you a question?"
Jiuge doesn't need to worry too much; Zhang Zhidao has already given up on Zhang Zhidong and followed him.
"Go ahead," An Chen said without turning around.
“He said you can speak.” Jiuge turned around.
Afraid that Zhang might not have heard her, she couldn't help but repeat the sentence for him.
"It's just... I saw my brother started a scam, and I'm wondering if a person's nature might change after they die." Zhang Zhidao ran up to An Chen and started walking backwards.
"He wasn't cheating me out of money; he was working for me, and those spirit coins were his wages," An Chen explained earnestly.
"..." Jiuge was speechless, she felt that something was not quite right.
"You mean, he became your savior's subordinate, and started using this immoral method to earn your tuition fees?" Afraid of bumping into someone, Zhang Zhidao kept looking back as he walked backward.
