The night was dark and the wind high, the leaves rustling.
"All right..."
At Lin Ke's door, the Plum Blossom Tree Spirit stepped inside upon hearing his assent.
"Tell me, Plum Blossom Tree Spirit, what do you want with me?" Dark circles under his eyes, Lin Ke looked at the Plum Blossom Tree Spirit before him.
"My name is Ning Caichen, not Plum Blossom Tree Spirit!" The childlike Plum Blossom Tree Spirit named Ning Caichen grew angry.
He's just a little kid, isn't he... Lin Ke was in a foul mood, so he said, "If you only came to tell me your name, you can leave."
At the same time, Lin Ke wondered whether he ought to install some sort of access control here, or set up a formation or restriction, to save himself from being visited by one person after another all day.
In short, being passed around.
Just then, the Plum Blossom Tree Spirit seemed to remember why he had come. "I don't have anywhere to live. Can I live here with you?"
"Live here with me?" Lin Ke raised an eyebrow. "No. Please leave."
And he'd had the nerve to get angry just now?
Was that any way to ask someone for a favor?
Lin Ke wasn't about to indulge this Plum Blossom Tree Spirit. He pointed at the door. "Remember to close it."
"But... Wang Lin told me to come find you!" Stung by Lin Ke's harsh attitude, the Plum Blossom Tree Spirit looked aggrieved. "Why do you talk like that, human? Nobody else talks to me like that!"
Hearing the Plum Blossom Tree Spirit's words only made Lin Ke more suspicious.
"Have you really traveled the world?" Lin Ke remained skeptical. "Really and truly? Answer me, and I might consider letting you stay."
No manners,
