After Boss Lu put the Lion Umbrella back on the umbrella rack, he glanced at the Skull Umbrella beside it and happily trotted back to his room on the second floor.
He more or less understood now that the sealed ghost could wield very little power.
For example, it could conjure a phantom or enter his dreams when his guard was down.
Other than that, it was completely useless.
And somehow, this ghost seemed a little mischievous. Every time it showed up, it always had to try some new trick.
Unfortunately, Lu Yibai was rather thick-nerved, and his way of thinking was quite unlike that of ordinary people.
He never played by the rules.
The energy the ghost had painstakingly accumulated was completely depleted.
Lin Xiaoqi, who lived next door to Lu Yibai, had actually opened her eyes the moment the ghost created its mirror image.
But after thinking it over, she figured that with her boss's brain, no one could possibly bewitch him. She might as well cultivate in peace.
Only Ye Yiyi knew nothing. She had no reaction whatsoever to what was happening around her. In the room she had sealed into "utter darkness," she hugged her pillow and slept soundly.
Even in her dreams, she occasionally let out a soft whimper.
To her, her current life was simply too peaceful and happy. She even smiled in her sleep.
Crow City, train station.
Crow City was merely a county-level city, but thanks to the International Trade City, its economy was thriving. It was one of the wealthiest county-level cities in all of China. There were tens of thousands of resident foreign merchants alone, not to mention the countless migrant workers.
As a result, the old, shabby train station had become rather inadequate, so it had been renovated and expanded from its original foundation.
It was nearly seven in the evening when the high-speed train from Magic City arrived in Crow City.
A man wheeled a suitcase off the train, and sitting atop it was a delicate little loli.
Her rosy little face still had a hint of baby fat, her small lips were red and plump, and her skin was as fair as mutton-fat jade. She was utterly adorable.
Her aura, however, was somewhat strange.
Sitting on the suitcase, she looked like an emperor upon her throne.
And her outfit was far too eye-catching.
She wore a small black leather jacket on top, the sort biker-girl delinquents loved to wear, with a little chain dangling from it.
On the bottom, she wore skinny jeans and a pair of little black leather boots.
Oh, and she also had a pair of tiny sunglasses.
Every now and then, she stretched out her little foot and lightly kicked the suitcase with her boot, as if urging him, Hurry up!
The young man dragging the suitcase turned back and gave her a timid smile.
To outsiders, they looked a little like a father with his spoiled daughter.
But that was naturally not the case.
He was dragging his own superior around!
The top leader of the Modu Branch of the Night Watchmen Organization, a true big shot!
Before getting into the taxi, the little loli waved at the young man. "You can go back now!"
"O-okay." The young man looked immensely relieved.
The female taxi driver, however, was displeased.
"Hey, young man! There are plenty of bad people out there. How can you just leave such an adorable daughter behind and let her go to her destination alone? It's so dangerous! How can you possibly be at ease?"
The young man was dumbfounded. He looked at the taxi driver, then at the little loli.
The little loli frowned slightly, clearly growing impatient.
"Don't worry! I'm very much at ease!" After saying that, the man ran off in a flash, leaving the driver utterly confused.
"Little sister, your father is far too irresponsible. But don't be afraid, Auntie will get you safely to your destination."
The driver looked at the little loli with pity. She was so adorable, but what on earth was she wearing?
"Come on, give Auntie your suitcase. Auntie will carry it for you." As she spoke, the driver helped place the suitcase in the trunk.
"Thank you, Auntie," the little loli said sweetly.
Her body might not grow, but her heart was exhausted.
Living was so hard.
The reason she had a subordinate accompany her was also because she could not grow up.
If she rode the subway or took a plane alone, warmhearted attendants or flight attendants would definitely worry and come over to ask all sorts of questions and fuss over her.
Buying tickets alone as a child was troublesome too. In ordinary society, she could not reveal her identity as a Night Watchman.
So under normal circumstances, she always brought a subordinate along.
Sigh, she was supposed to be a domineering female CEO, yet she could not grow up.
So annoying!
She put on her tiny sunglasses and looked out the window at Crow City.
She had not been to Crow City in a long time. It seemed to have changed quite a bit.
There was demolition and redevelopment everywhere. How could it not have changed?
But the Night Watchmen organization's stronghold definitely would not be within the redevelopment zone.
So Answer Bar surely had not changed.
The female taxi driver took several turns and did not deliberately take a longer route to fleece a little girl. Seeing that the destination was a bar, she even asked a few concerned questions.
"Auntie, my home is right above this bar~" the little loli continued sweetly.
Meanwhile, goosebumps rose on the little arm beneath her leather jacket.
Damn it, acting all sugary and cutesy. I'm disgusting myself.
After the driver took her suitcase out of the trunk and gave her the change, she looked at the girl worriedly a few more times and did not leave right away.
The bar was not open yet, and the door was shut. The little loli took out a key from her pocket, then... stood on tiptoe, then stretched even higher.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not reach the keyhole.
Damn it! she cursed inwardly.
She glanced at the grass beside her, as though searching for something.
"Damn it! Where's my personal stepping brick? Who threw it away?"
She was furious!
In the end, the driver had to help her open the door.
Only after seeing the door open did the driver leave in peace.
The White Fox clan was born powerful, but their inability to grow up brought them countless troubles.
Standing before the open door, she adjusted her leather jacket and put on an imposing expression.
I'm the head of the Modu office, as well as the inspector for Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. I'm a big leader!
A leader must have a leader's dignity!
Then she dragged her suitcase into Answer Bar on her short little legs.
The large black umbrella had been placed on the umbrella rack, but she... still could not reach it.
Fortunately, there were no ordinary people around. With a flick of her little hand, a stream of air struck the handle of the Skull Umbrella.
The mechanism was triggered, and the bar's hidden door opened as well.
Ye Yiyi, who was wiping glasses with a cloth on the first floor, did not even raise her head. "Customer, Answer Bar won't be open for another hour."
When she finally looked up, she saw a delicate little loli standing beside the hidden door, dragging a suitcase even bigger than she was.
"Wow! What a pretty little girl!" Ye Yiyi put down her glass and ran over, wanting to give her a hug.
A powerful aura spread from the little loli's body, frightening Ye Yiyi so badly that she did not dare take another step forward.
This was the suppression of a lower race by a higher race among demons!
The White Fox clan was one of the most elite and noble races among demons.
The little loli looked at the terrified Ye Yiyi and said coldly:
"I'm warning you, don't come any closer. I get dizzy from milk!"
