What Are You Asking That For?

Yu Fengchen looked away; he simply couldn't bear to look.

Yu Xing realized that he couldn't evoke Yu Fengchen's love, so he decisively gave up.

He had long anticipated that the hungry ghost would seek him out. After all, no one but him could evoke the feeling of being fed in a hungry ghost. "Eating" was the hungry ghost's lifelong pursuit, and now that this pursuit had been fulfilled, how could the hungry ghost be satisfied with just one experience?

Keeping this hungry ghost around will help his later plans.

Seeing the hungry ghost's face covered in tears, Yu Xing felt a pang of pity and lovingly patted the ghost's head. "The child is so pitiful."

Yu Fengchen watched this scene expressionlessly.

Then he noticed that Yu Xing was leading the hungry ghost in a certain direction with practiced ease. With the hungry ghost present, the other wandering ghosts kept their distance.

"Where are we going?" he asked in a low voice as he quickly followed.

"Let's go to the kitchen." Yu Xing planned to feed the hungry ghost some food first, and then take a stroll around Ruben Reed's house.

Tonight, he doesn't plan to open every building door and let the ghosts continue their destruction. Too much of anything is bad. If he continues to be so arrogant, the Tree Witch might be willing to risk being devoured by the ghosts tonight just to come out and see what's going on.

Although he wasn't afraid of the Tree Witch, there were still some doubts about Tree Witch, including Tree Witch stance, which he wanted to investigate thoroughly before making any statements.

Then, Yu Fengchen witnessed a scene he would never forget.

His cheap dining companion, like a robber, opened the kitchen door, muttering about why there was less food today. He then found a basket of unidentified liquid, personally cut the hungry ghost in half, and poured the liquid into its stomach.

Yu Fengchen carrying a lantern, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Xing was sewing the hungry ghost back together when she heard him sigh. Curious, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Seeing this hungry ghost just made me a little glad that one of my teammates is much better looking than it."

"Oh?" Yu Xing's eyes lit up. "You have ghost teammates in your team too?"

"There is one, you can call him Zero." However, Yu Fengchen didn't elaborate on Zero, but instead said, "Hungry Ghost is an innate trait of one of my teammates. She's human, but because of this trait, she can eat anything. I was quite startled when we first met."

"Sounds like an interesting person!" Yu Xing interest.

Yu Fengchen said with a headache, "Once she's chewed up your books, or mounted you trying to taste your flesh, you probably won't find it interesting anymore..."

Yu Xing: "..."

"That sounds really exciting!"

Yu Fengchen: "... Don't think about any erotic scenes in your mind, it'll be terrifying when the time comes."

Yu Xing: "Tsk."

The cursed, sewn-up hungry ghost overheard the entire conversation, feeling both touched by his full stomach and saddened by being called ugly.

It cried again. For some reason, this big-headed hungry ghost had particularly developed tear ducts, and tears streamed down its face like they were free, making it look like a bullied child. Who would have thought that it was actually a vicious and wicked ghost?

"Look, you're so good to him, and he still cries." Yu Fengchen didn't want to admit that it was his sarcasm that caused this big-headed ghost to turn into a crying ghost. In fact, he just said it casually and forgot about it as soon as he turned his head.

Yu Xing pondered for a moment, then said with certainty, "These are tears of happiness."

Yu Fengchen: "Hehe."

"Speaking of which, why does Xiao Jiang, who came down with you, have the aura of an evil spirit on him?" After rambling on for a while, Yu Xing suddenly changed the subject.

"That's his ability." Yu Fengchen didn't think there was anything to hide, and besides, the night was far too long. He was bored, so he started chatting idly. "All the players in our Experience Master system are roughly divided into two types: one type can use various items specifically designed to attack and escape ghosts, and the other type borrows the power of ghosts, using the type of ghost as their ability."

"Ning Feng's ability system is based on vengeful spirits. I don't know if you've seen it yet, but his exclusive sacrificial white coat turns blood red when he uses his vengeful spirit abilities."

"I haven't seen it yet, but I hope I'll have the chance to see it someday." Yu Xing stroked her chin. "Where's Xiao Jiang?"

"His power is that of a demon, you know that plush rabbit, right?"

Yu Xing recalled the Xiao Jiang she saw at the art museum, "Yeah, that rabbit doll that bared its teeth at me like it wanted to take a bite out of me."

"That was his special offering, connected to his life. You could also understand it as the rabbit being his true form, while the person holding the rabbit was merely a puppet."

Because this human body is more like a puppet, controlled by the same consciousness as the rabbit, Jiang Jieleng's emotions and expressions are usually so stiff.

Yu Fengchen's effortless revelation of such a terrifying truth made Yu Xing feel uneasy.

He raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously, "You're just telling me this?"

"He doesn't mind you knowing about this," Yu Fengchen. "And he's only telling you this as a piece of information: Qu Xuanqing in your team is in a very similar situation to him."

Yu Xing's gaze sharpened.

"Don't worry about it. Qu Xuanqing helped us with her abilities before, so we know this secret." Yu Fengchen seemed to barely realize Qu Xuanqing's importance to Yu Xing and added an explanation.

"I see," Yu Xing muttered, lost in thought.

After a moment, he came to his senses. "Never mind, there's no need to think about that for now. Let's continue talking about Xiao Jiang. I didn't see his rabbit this time, but I sensed the aura of an evil spirit on him. Could it be that he has a way to fuse a rabbit's body with a human's?"

"Yes, the Ghost Tree is too big. With his physical condition, he would die halfway through if no measures were taken. He fused with the rabbit to strengthen his physique, but his type of evil spirit is not actually very strong physically." Yu Fengchen had also come up with a complete plan after calculating many times with Jiang Jieleng.

In the darkness, Yu Xing's eyes seemed to glow. "In his condition, will the demon's consciousness affect his usual way of thinking?"

"It definitely had an impact at first. His rabbit would go out of control and be dangerous once it lost his comfort. But later, as his control improved, nothing else happened." Yu Fengchen pushed up his glasses. He didn't even need to think about it carefully to see that Yu Xing was overly concerned about this issue. "Why are you asking this?"

"Since he can fuse with it, doesn't that also mean..." Yu Xing curled the corner of her lips, "Xiao Jiang knows how to separate a ghost's consciousness from its body, doesn't he?"
