Jiang Nuo answered immediately, "Two ghosts gathering firewood make a bigger flame."
Yang Xiaoxiao, who had asked the question: "..."
"Was that a cold joke?"
Feeling refreshed after beating up the ghost, Jiang Nuo had barely approached when Si Yan took his hand. He swung their arms and narrowed his eyes at the battle across from them.
"I'm helping them become Husband-and-Wife Fiends."
"The old man is so powerful that no amount of teamwork will help those two beat him. But Husband-and-Wife Fiends can."
Although they didn't understand what Husband-and-Wife Fiends meant, it certainly sounded impressive.
Si Yan burrowed closer into Jiang Nuo's arms and whispered, "That person kept grabbing me. So filthy."
Jiang Nuo glanced at him in surprise and whispered back, "Do you think they can't hear you at this volume?"
Lin Yu: "..."
Right then, he really wished he couldn't.
Si Yan didn't care whether he could hear him.
He took Jiang Nuo's hand and used it to pat the back of his waist.
Only then was he satisfied.
Amusement colored Jiang Nuo's voice as he took the opportunity to poke his waist. "With your germophobia, how do you manage when you're acting?"
Nestled in his arms, Si Yan said earnestly, "Even Hengdian at its dirtiest isn't as filthy as this place."
That was true.
The actors present nodded in wholehearted agreement.
I'm dying hahahahaha! Feather fans must be furious. Even Si Yan thinks your fave is dirty~
Why is Si Yan so fussy? What's wrong with tugging on his clothes when you're scared? They're colleagues, at least!
Did none of you see how scared Lin Yu was just now? What is Si Yan doing? I'm speechless!!
The bullet comments were in an uproar. Only the shameless shippers enjoyed their peace and quiet.
Yes! Delicious sweetness! Let me have another bite!
What is love? Extreme double standards! (lies flat
(chew chew chew) Tell me, why is this sweetness (chew chew chew) so delicious? (pats belly) How did they come up with this!
Chu Xiu suddenly cried out, "They're done fighting!"
They looked over at her cry. Master Li was already riddled with holes, foul-smelling blood streaming down his body. One eyeball had even been knocked out and dangled precariously against his face.
Resentment poured from the ghost couple, their eyes glowing green and their faces stiff. They had fully transformed into Husband-and-Wife Fiends.
Finally, all of Master Li's yin energy was sucked out, and he crumbled into nothing.
The Husband-and-Wife Fiends suddenly turned their heads, fixing their glowing green eyes on everyone. Sinister yin energy surrounded them, their long hair stirring without wind as they floated over.
Chu Xiu sucked in a breath, frantically slapping Yang Xiaoxiao's arm as she screamed, "They suddenly got so powerful! They aren't going to come after us, are they?!"
"Do ghosts repay kindness with ingratitude too?!"
Before the ghosts could scare Yang Xiaoxiao to death, Chu Xiu was about to squeeze her to death instead. Grimacing, she pulled her hand free.
She decisively pulled Chu Xiu behind Jiang Nuo and Si Yan.
"Stick with Brother Jiang! Don't be scared!"
In the blink of an eye, the Husband-and-Wife Fiends were right before them.
Yet the two ghosts had actually retained their reason, holding their arms straight out and pointing toward the well.
Jiang Nuo followed the direction of their arms and listened at the foul-smelling mouth of the well for two seconds before sucking in a breath.
"The way this Ghost Domain's exit is set up is a little too... inhumane."
Making them jump down a well for no good reason!
The Husband-and-Wife Fiends remained expressionless, still pointing.
"All right, everyone, jump in."
Jiang Nuo first took Si Yan's hand and stepped back.
Yang Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Nuo, then at the well. Unwilling to give up, she repeated, "If we want to leave, our only option is to jump down the well... right?"
Jiang Nuo smiled brightly. "Yes."
Looking at the filthy mouth of the well, Si Yan nearly stopped breathing.
"Nuonuo..."
He tilted his head to rest it on Jiang Nuo's shoulder, refusing to look again. "I don't want to jump."
"It's dirty."
Perhaps feeling that wasn't convincing enough, he added, "I'll be dizzy for ages."
"And..."
"Stop."
Jiang Nuo's head was swimming from listening to him. He covered Si Yan's mouth. "You'll jump last."
Si Yan: "..."
He didn't feel comforted at all.
Unwilling to face it, he seemed to turn completely gray.
The Husband-and-Wife Fiends were still urging them on. The courtyard began to shake and totter, as though they would remain there forever if they didn't jump.
Yang Xiaoxiao plucked up her courage and grabbed her cameraman, jumping in first.
Only after seeing them disappear as soon as they jumped did everyone believe it. Chu Xiu and her cameraman jumped in one after the other.
Tian Dong was also dragged in by his cameraman, who had noticed something was wrong with him.
Lin Yu was last. He gave Si Yan a dejected look, bit his lip, then sighed and jumped.
This person is so weird.
Si Yan thought silently. In the blink of an eye, only the two of them and their cameramen remained.
Jiang Nuo blinked and gestured for the two cameramen to jump first. "You know, only two people can jump at a time."
Why do I feel like Jiang Nuo has something else in mind??
Me too!!! If God Nuo really can keep Si Jiaojiao from jumping down the well, I'll be a devoted shameless shipper!
The last two jumped in. Si Yan glanced down again, goosebumps rising all over him.
Making him jump in there?
He would rather let these Husband-and-Wife Fiends kill him!
"Nuonuo, no jumping."
Si Yan's eyes were listless. Like a sickly, pampered young master, his wheedling made one's heart soften.
"All right, all right. No jumping, then."
This time, Jiang Nuo agreed readily.
Holding Si Yan, he turned to face the approaching Husband-and-Wife Fiends. "Get lost."
The Husband-and-Wife Fiends wanted to rage.
But they didn't dare.
So they both took a step back.
Everything in the courtyard had already begun collapsing in chaos.
The moonlight was dim, and fierce winds howled.
Just as when they had entered, slender fingers curled, and the air began to ripple.
He tore open the Ghost Domain's barrier with his bare hands.
Si Yan's gaze flickered. He burrowed closer into Jiang Nuo's arms and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
Nuonuo is amazing.
As the barrier shattered completely, the Husband-and-Wife Fiends had their wish fulfilled and vanished entirely from the world.
Under the resentful gazes of the disheveled, foul-smelling guests and cameramen, the two walked in through the doorway, spotless.
It was still the room they had entered earlier.
[Detected: task taker completed the evil ghost elimination task and fulfilled the resentful ghosts' wish. Points +100] [Detected: task taker triggered a key figure in this world. Points +200]
Jiang Nuo looked at the other guests in surprise.
A key figure? How key?
Could it be the protagonist?
Interesting.
"Jiang Nuo, if you had a way to avoid jumping down the well, why... didn't you tell us?"
Lin Yu looked at the filth covering him, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear.
Even in this state, he still looked gentle, as though he had no temper.
Without the slightest embarrassment, Jiang Nuo explained casually, "Not strong enough. Can't take that many people."
Jiang Nuo's retort left Lin Yu speechless. He could only silently shut his mouth and turn his back to the camera to straighten his clothes.
??? Jiang Nuo, what is wrong with you? Not strong enough? You can take Si Yan but not anyone else??
Our Lin Yu loves cleanliness too! Why torment him like this! Jiang Nuo hater for life!
Heh, Feather fans, get lost! You should be grateful God Nuo got him out safely!
I don't care! Jiang Nuo has totally won me over! Does he have a fan group? What are his fans called? Hurry up and hand it over!
Shameless Jiang Nuo face fan here! His fans used to be called Sticky Rice Balls! Welcome aboard!!
What are you arguing about?! We've gathered here today to celebrate our great God Nuo successfully bringing all the guests out!
No, wait!! Look at Tian Dong! He's about to fall apart! (literally)
