Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

Luo Xiaoyu looked down and could easily see her toes.

Her face immediately turned red with shame.

How can this compare to Su Yining?

"No, why am I even thinking about these things?"

Luo Xiaoyu shook her head.

However, she always had a strange feeling—she didn't want to find her older brother from back then after so many years, but rather she hoped that Chen Shi was the same person from back then.

Maybe this will give her some courage.

But now it seems that I still didn't have enough courage.

"Mmm..."

Luo Xiaoyu's face grew redder and redder as she thought about it, and she became even more agitated.

Indeed, matters between people are much more difficult than ferrying spirits to kill.

"So annoying..."

She stomped her foot, took out her red-tasseled spear, and threw it at the training stake next to her!

However, when the mind is in turmoil, the actions become chaotic as well.

She unusually missed the target.

"Huh!?"

Luo Xiaoyu was startled and quickly took out the silver chain to try to pull it back.

However, one hand caught the red-tasseled spear steadily.

It's Grandma Gu.

"Grandma Gu?"

Luo Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and ran up with a smile.

"Little Fish, what's wrong?" Grandma Gu asked, puzzled. "You're moving very hastily."

"Well……"

Luo Xiaoyu took the red-tasseled spear back with both hands and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

However, when she looked down, she saw her toes.

Without any obstruction.

This made me even more annoyed.

"Little fish, be a good girl and tell Grandma."

Grandma Gu suddenly realized something and succinctly pointed it out:

"Is it that kid Jiang Liu taught?"

"Well!"

Luo Xiaoyu's shoulders twitched, but she didn't say anything.

"It seems so."

Grandma Gu looked helpless, with a sense of vicissitude that comes from raising a daughter only to have her die.

"Hmm... that kid is indeed powerful, he was actually able to fight against a top-tier evil spirit. He even saved you, so it's understandable that you have feelings for him. But it can't interfere with your regular training, understand?"

"Mm." Luo Xiaoyu nodded.

Grandma Gu's expression was complicated, but in the end she patted her head and coaxed her:

"Alright, alright, Jiang Liu and I get along quite well. I'll ask her later if there's a chance for you two to go on a mission together, like fusing with a low-level evil spirit or something."

She immediately added, "Of course, that's after we get through this period and the situation stabilizes a bit."

Luo Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she whispered:

"Okay... okay."

Luo Xiaoyu was secretly delighted, but she still calmed down.

"Right, I'm the bait. Be a good bait and don't overthink it," she thought to herself.

She suppressed her inner turmoil and tried her best to calm down.

What we need to do now is lure the snake out of its hole.

But Lingyi Temple is so big, and there are so many caves. Where exactly is the snake hiding?

She looked toward the main temple.

Was she the temple keeper? Or one of her maids?

Then, I looked at the side temple, where several third-level ferrymen had just come out after a meeting.

Or are they those at the third level with higher authority and position?

Or perhaps...

Luo Xiaoyu looked up and glanced at Grandma Gu.

That face was still kind, just like when she was adopted.

"No, no, that's absolutely impossible."

Luo Xiaoyu shook her head secretly.

All we can do now is keep waiting.

Hopefully, as Jiang Liu thought, her hamster was attractive enough to those snakes.

Chapter 161 The Old Married Couple Arrives

After contacting Luo Xiaoyu, Chen Shi yawned and got out of bed to wash up.

As soon as I opened the bedroom door, a faint fragrance wafted in.

"Ok?"

Chen Shi sniffed:

Has a fairy godmother entered my house?

A crisp, clear sound rang out:

"There's no fairy godmother, but there is a hot senior sister."

Su Yining poked her head out of the kitchen, still wearing that somewhat unsuitable white T-shirt and shorts. Her fair, long legs were barefoot on the ground, and the curves of her legs were very obvious when she was not wearing a bra.

"Lazybones, wake up! How was your sleep?"

She giggled, her face flushing slightly.

The laughter was as bright as ever, as if even the most negative and hopeless situations could be dispelled by hearing it.

Chen Shi stretched:

"I slept quite well. After all, I had my head on my senior's lap as a pillow and was listening to her lullabies. I couldn't sleep well."

"You're talking about it as if it were a mission."

Su Yining puffed out her cheeks and waved her hand:

"Go brush your teeth and wash your face, breakfast will be ready soon."

She hummed a little tune and went back to the kitchen to continue her work.

Chen Shi passed through the living room and looked into the kitchen.

Su Yining was frying eggs in front of the stove, with several pieces of toasted bread next to her, looking like she was making sandwiches.

Her movements were very skillful; she hummed a song as she poured sesame seeds into the pan, and when she got excited, she even tossed the pan around a bit.

"Do you have to flip the pan when making fried eggs?" Chen Shi laughed.

After catching the fried egg perfectly, Su Yining exclaimed "Oh!" with her eyes sparkling.

So you weren't confident you could catch it! You just wanted to have some fun, didn't you? — Chen Shi thought to himself.

Oh well, he doesn't usually cook anyway since he lives alone, so as long as Su Yining doesn't blow up the kitchen, it's fine.

After washing up and returning to the living room, Su Yining had already brought out breakfast.

It was a sandwich, and I also made a bowl of tomato and egg drop soup.

"Try it quickly. I saw you had a lot of ingredients in your fridge, so I made it."

Su Yining leaned on the table, resting her chin on her hands, with a grin on her face.

"Let me try it. Something's not right..."

Chen Shi noticed something amiss:

"Senior, didn't you only recently regain your sense of taste?"

Su Yining had been without a sense of taste for a long time, which means that she hadn't cooked during the three years she was in ghost form.

"Cough, but I used to cook, okay?" Su Yining put her hands on her hips. "And it was just sandwiches and soup, it won't poison you."

She raised her fist: "Are you going to eat it or not?"

"eat!"

Chen Shi quickly finished the sandwich and drank the soup in one gulp.

Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.

To be precise, it's very delicious.

Although she's not quite as good as Wang Wei, the culinary genius, Su Yining's cooking skills are still quite impressive; it's clear she used to cook often.

"Senior, you're a great cook!"

"Hehe, right?"

Hearing Chen Shi's praise, Su Yining finally started eating her portion.

"So, senior, you really are using me as a guinea pig, aren't you...?"

"What kind of talk is that?"

Su Yining said vaguely:

"You should be secretly happy that I, your senior, will personally cook for you."

After breakfast, Chen Shi naturally washed the dishes, while Su Yining lay down on the sofa and turned on the TV.

"Chen Shi, is your TV working?" she called out.

"Sure, what's the problem?"

Chen Shi had just finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen when he saw Su Yining lying on the back of the sofa like a kitten.

She squinted and said:

"You're usually home alone, you haven't used the TV to project anything shady, have you?"

"Senior, don't you think that's too extravagant?"

Chen Shi was already used to Su Yining's sudden acceleration, and he would usually step on the gas in response.

"But if you want to see it, I can experience it too."

"So bold? Aren't you afraid of scaring the girl away?" Su Yining rested her chin on her hand, showing no intention of running away.

"Senior, are you a normal girl?"

Chen Shi sat down on the sofa naturally.

Normally, the conversation ends when they both step on the gas.
