"Cough cough cough... Here it comes! Comrades~! Bring on the bitter melon water!" Clearly, Director Yang was so engrossed in reading the gossip that he only realized he should be drinking bitter melon water after Ji Nanshu reminded him.
Bai Nanchen and Bai Nanyu's faces darkened instantly when they saw the six cups of bitter melon water.
Bai Nanyu looked at the bitter melon water, his eyes welling up with tears again, and said, "Second Brother, it's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on going to the cellar to find something... Second Brother, you don't need to drink the bitter melon water. I'll drink it myself!"
Bai Nanchen glared fiercely at Ji Nanshu, then gently pushed Bai Nanyu away, saying, "How could your second brother let you drink bitter melon juice alone!"
"I'm not like some people who have no regard for family!"
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Bai Nanchen downed six cups in a flash, his face scrunched up like a gourd.
Bai Nanyu handed Bai Nanchen a bottle of cola with concern. "Second brother, have some cola. It'll make your mouth feel less bitter!"
After the two finished their performance of brotherly affection, it was almost midnight. The other guests were quite frightened by the situation in the cellar, and they all went back to their rooms in groups.
Director Yang subtly stopped the live broadcast for the day and immediately asked Ji Nanshu and Shu Cheng, "Um... Nanshu, Celestial Master Shu... will this be alright? I saw that woman in the photo blink just now!!"
Ji Nanshu glanced at Director Yang and said, "Didn't Mr. Shu give you Safety Talisman? Just wear them close to your body."
Shu Cheng nodded, glanced in the direction of the cellar, and asked, " Mr. Ji, over there, the cellar..."
"It's nothing, just a little scary." Ji Nanshu waved his hand to indicate that it was alright, "No one will die."
Hearing that no one would die, Director Yang felt relieved and left with his staff.
After Director Yang left, Shu Cheng couldn't help but ask, " Mr. Ji, are you really not going to do anything about it? Those two from the Bai Family might..."
Before Shu Cheng could finish speaking, Ji Nanshu interrupted him, "What does the Bai Family have to do with me? If you want to help, go ahead, but don't drag me into it. Come on, let's go back to sleep."
That last sentence was said to Chu Mo.
After Ji Nanshu and the other person left, Ji Xingyu said, "Captain, since Nanshu said no one will die, you don't need to worry about it!"
Shu Cheng paused in his steps as he returned to his room, his eyes turning cold. He turned around, his face stern. " Ji Xingyu! We have a responsibility to protect the people!"
" Ji Nanshu says he's just going to abandon his responsibilities? Is that an imperial edict? Don't forget your own duties!"
Ji Xingyu is a rebellious person. He's easily persuaded but won't listen to reason. If you try to reason with him, he'll listen, but if you try to force him, he'll be even more stubborn!
He didn't argue, but coldly replied, " Captain Shu, go if you want. I'm just an ordinary guest on the show today."
Even if he were just a guest today, or even if he came with a mission to rescue the Bai Family brothers, he could still find a chance to take care of them afterwards!
Moreover, the Bai Family brothers are not in any immediate danger.
Then Ji Xingyu turned around and went upstairs back to his room.
Shu Cheng felt discouraged for a moment and sat down on the living room sofa, looking somewhat dejected.
He knew the Bai Family brothers wouldn't be in any immediate danger, and he wasn't as noble as he claimed; he was just... just a little jealous.
He was the one who met Ji Xingyu first... so why can't I see him?
clatter--
Da da--
In the quiet night, the sound of a woman walking in high heels suddenly broke the silence.
Bai Nanchen tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. One moment he was cursing Ji Nanshu, the next he was complaining to Director Yang about why he chose such a dilapidated Western-style building to record the program.
The decor was scary and the environment was terrible, and even the bed was so uncomfortable!
Look! In the dead of night, there are still people so inconsiderate, walking around in high heels!
Holy crap! Why is the sound getting closer?!
Damn it, are you out of your mind?!
Bai Nanyu grew increasingly angry. He jumped out of bed, flung open the door, and yelled, "Who the hell wears high heels at night? Are they...?"
The angry outburst stopped abruptly the moment Bai Nanchen's gaze shifted downwards.
His eyes widened in terror, and he involuntarily released his grip on the doorknob, collapsing to the ground. He quickly backed away in that position, screaming, "Aaaaaaahhhhhh—a ghost!!!"
When Bai Nanchen opened the door, Bai Nanyu was also awake. The two brothers saw what was at the door together—
A pair of vintage red high heels.
There is no one.
Only a pair of high heels stood abruptly at the door.
Bai Nanyu didn't even have time to scream before his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Bai Nanchen was left alone, screaming incessantly.
Da da--
The high heels mischievously took two more steps toward Bai Nanchen.
"Aaaaaaah--Help!! Is anyone there!!!"
The guests naturally heard the loud scream.
Shu Cheng was the first place to arrive.
He held a talisman between his right index and middle fingers, lightly flicked it to ignite it, and tossed it toward the high heel.
Sizzle--
In just a few seconds, the high heels were completely burned to ashes.
When the other guests arrived, they saw Shu Cheng standing outside the door with a serious expression, Bai Nanchen cowering against the wall, looking somewhat disoriented, and Bai Nanyu lying unconscious beside the bed.
Jian Yuanjia peeked into the room and asked Shu Cheng with a gloating expression, " Celestial Master Shu, have they seen a ghost?"
"Yes, when I arrived I saw a pair of red high heels placed at the door."
The guests gasped. Yu Lu, the more timid one, couldn't help but ask, "Is... is this ghost trying to kill us? Because we trespassed on her territory?"
Ji Nanshu glanced at the Bai Family brothers on the ground, and said a few more words in a rather good mood, "Don't worry, she won't kill you. She's just... bored and looking for some fun..."
"Alright, that's all. Go back to sleep!"
Li Lan smiled wryly, " Xiao Nanshu, how... how can we sleep like this?"
Jiang Yue also said, "Yes, that's terrifying."
Ji Nanshu blinked. "If you guys aren't sleeping, I'll go back to sleep. A-Mo, let's go~"
The words had barely left his mouth when Bai Nanchen, still shaken, seemed to snap out of it. He scrambled to Ji Nanshu's side, grabbed Ji Nanshu's wrist, and stammered, "Ji... Ji Nanshu... Ping An Fu! I'll give you the money! Sell it to me!"
Ji Nanshu turned around, grabbed Bai Nanchen's wrist, squeezed it tightly, and shoved him away forcefully. "Sure! Now, 300,000 per piece!"
"Three hundred thousand per piece?! You're taking advantage of our misfortune?!" Bai Nanchen's voice suddenly rose, filled with rage.
Ji Nanshu replied with a smile, "That's right~ This time it's 300,000, next time it'll be 400,000... If you don't want it, then forget it!"
Nevertheless, Bai Nanchen still grumbled and paid 600,000 yuan for the peace blessing.
Compared to this, the other guests suddenly felt that a 100,000 yuan Ping An Fu (a type of amulet) wasn't expensive at all!
Me: Son! Give me 100,000!
Ji Nanshu: You eat farts!
