Cackle, Cackle, Cackle, Junior Sister! Don't Blame Your Senior Brother!
"But isn't Cai Ling a virgin? How could she have breast milk?"
Zi Yiyi asked, still puzzled.
"Sister Yiyi, you still don't understand what I mean." You Su shook her head. "Cai Ling does not have breast milk, and the Ghost Mite may not be able to consume human breast milk. However, the Ghost Mite, due to its instinct to obtain nutrients from the big Ghost Mite, naturally parasitized Cai Ling. In this sense, evil spirits are actually no different from ordinary creatures."
After a long silence, Zi Yiyi sighed with a melancholy expression:
"This is a startling conclusion."
You Su nodded in agreement. When he learned about evil spirits from his Mistress, he realized that the common understanding of evil spirits on this continent was that they were spirits formed from a collection of filth, which were different from real living beings and therefore enemies of all living beings.
However, You Su's discovery is very likely to overturn this view that has been passed down for thousands of years. They only knew that evil spirits could reproduce, but they did not know that they could also nurture offspring and even have organs for nurturing.
In terms of nurturing alone, they have surpassed most living beings. This shows that evil spirits have evolved to a level they could hardly imagine.
"These aren't the key points. The key point is that we know cultivating Ghost Mite is not a simple matter. Even after that Ghost Mite drained Qiao Xiuying, who was at the middle stage of the Channel Opening Realm, it still couldn't fully cultivate these two Ghost Mite. So the situation hasn't become so serious that it's beyond repair," You Su continued.
Zi Yiyi suddenly realized something, and she became incredibly curious about the boy, so she couldn't help but ask:
"To be frank, you're clearly blind, yet the level of detail you display in observing things is completely unlike what a blind person should have."
You Su smiled calmly upon hearing this, "It is precisely because we cannot see them normally that we cannot help but take a second look when we are faced with evil spirits that we can see them."
Zi Yiyi was taken aback for a moment, but when she looked at You Su, there was no longer any contempt in her eyes; in fact, there was even a hint of approval in them.
You Su's ability to draw the above conclusions was not something that could be achieved simply by taking a few more glances; he must have put in a great deal of thought behind the scenes.
This young man seemed to possess a unique quality; he attempted to deconstruct the behavior of evil spirits using the most practical and reasonable explanations. If other members of the Evil Warding Department were to handle this matter, they might very well mistakenly believe that the position of the most beautiful courtesan in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion had been cursed.
If someone like that could become a divine being... that wouldn't be so bad?
What are your plans next?
You Su stretched out the Evil Warding Token and shone it above the two Ghost Mite. In an instant, the two immature evil spirits were sucked into it and disappeared.
"The best course of action now is to find Qiao Xiuying's body. Despite being mentally prepared, I still couldn't get anything useful out of Cai Ling. She was just City Lord Xiang brought back from a distant city, used as a substitute for the courtesan to attract the attention of the city's residents."
"Didn't get anything out of you? Then why did you linger inside for so long?" Zi Yiyi asked innocently. "Subduing these two evil spirits should have been a piece of cake for you."
Upon hearing this, You Su could only lower his head quietly, his face embarrassed, and said:
"In order not to frighten Miss Cailing, I had to put in a little more effort."
Zi Yiyi thought about it and agreed; it was best to avoid dealing with evil spirits among mortals as much as possible.
Upon Ji Lingruo slammed her hand on the table in anger, causing the teacups and teapots to momentarily freeze in mid-air.
Zi Yiyi was startled, but seeing the girl's pale face, she instantly understood why.
Having spent nearly two days together, she had already noticed the deep affection between the two senior and junior disciples.
Although it was for warding off evil, the location was really awkward... It's understandable that the girl would be jealous and angry.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Get some rest; we still have to continue the investigation tomorrow." Zi Yiyi was already considering leaving; she didn't want to get involved in this mess.
Although You Su wanted to persuade her to stay, she had no reason to, and could only watch as her savior, who was keeping the situation from collapsing, returned to her room.
The scene fell silent for a moment, You Su was also a little embarrassed, almost subconsciously rubbing her thumb twice.
Ji Lingruo and angrily said:
"So unforgettable?"
"I'm just wiping my hands, junior sister, they're dirty..." You Su chuckled awkwardly as she wiped her hands on her black robe.
"Ha!" Ji Lingruo pinched her delicate nose. "Go tell the boss to boil some water and wash yourself quickly! You're covered in that tacky stench! It's disgusting, like a rabbit."
You Su was somewhat surprised that her junior sister didn't pursue the matter further. It seemed that this possessive girl was actually quite reasonable.
After all, all of this was for the purpose of exorcising evil; he had absolutely no intention of enjoying it.
"I'll go right now!"
You Su dashed downstairs in a flash.
The stars and moon hung high in the sky, and the entire Moxie City was shrouded in darkness, with only the night watchman on the long street keeping a lantern lit.
You Su and Ji Lingruo slept at the same end of the bed, covered by the same quilt, but separated by a very obvious ravine.
But this was still the closest they had been since they reunited.
Originally You Su said he would stay up all night and give the bed to Ji Lingruo. But Ji Lingruo stubbornly insisted that he was the main person in charge and needed to rest, and that she would take over the night watch.
You Su naturally refused; Ji Lingruo sleep, he wouldn't sleep either, which eventually led to this situation of sharing the same bed but sleeping separately.
In the darkness, Ji Lingruo quietly opened her bright, beautiful eyes. She cautiously turned her head to look at You Su, who had been motionless for a long time, but was immediately startled.
"You... why aren't you asleep yet?!"
It turned out that You Su hadn't closed his eyes; instead, he had been lying on his side, gazing intently at her profile. Even though he was blind, it couldn't hide the doting look in his eyes.
"Junior sister isn't asleep either, is she?"
Ji Lingruo felt a little embarrassed by the intense gaze, "Don't look... close your eyes!"
"What are you afraid of, junior sister? I can't see anyway." You Su reached out and placed her palm under the side of her head, so that she could see more comfortably.
But to the girl, this action was a blatant provocation.
She wasn't one to be easily timid, so she simply followed suit, turning her body to meet his gaze without showing any weakness.
"Then let's see. Anyway, you can't see me, but I can see you. You'll be the one who suffers."
"Sigh, this is the first time I've heard that men are at a disadvantage when men and women sleep in the same bed," You Su teased.
Ji Lingruo speechless, her face flushed red as the night took over.
I was planning to sit in that chair all night to annoy him... but the blind man got away with it anyway...
Ji Lingruo! You're so useless!
The girl was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, and gently kicked You Su's shin with her foot under the blanket.
You Su reacted extremely quickly, instantly clamping the girl's delicate ankles between her two legs, preventing the girl from breaking free.
"Hehehe, junior sister, you crossed the line first, so you can't blame your senior brother!"
You Su smiled like a sinister villain in a storybook who had succeeded in his scheme.
But he couldn't see that the girl in the darkness was also smiling at him.
I was busy at the hospital all day taking care of my child, so I really couldn't finish writing. Please forgive the brevity. I have another day off tomorrow, and I'll definitely make up for today's post! Also, the second bonus chapter is in the works, so please stay tuned!
