Chapter 224: Pink (Part 2)
Chapter 224: Pink (Part 2)
“It was just that miserable…”
After Siyuan told the Ghost Mother about his awkward situation, the Ghost Mother laughed so hard she was rocking back and forth. She raised her sexy phoenix eyes and swept a glance around, then pursed her lips and nodded. “Now you understand the hardship of taking care of children.”
“Don’t even mention it. I almost cried. These guys… they really worried me sick.”
Worrying sick was normal. Among the people he brought this time, the most normal one was probably Mengling, but Mengling wasn’t all that normal either, let alone the other two darlings. Forget about them being helpful; they were experts at causing trouble. Sitting on a street corner in a foreign land with no relatives or friends, if the Ghost Mother hadn’t brought Siyuan’s bank card, Siyuan would probably have had to cast a spell in front of everyone to go back and get money. But the key issue was that the Little Pope couldn’t fly or teleport, and there was no magic formation here. So if they left him alone here, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.
“Alright.” The Ghost Mother reached out and touched Siyuan’s face. “This older sister will reluctantly suffer a bit. I’ll accompany you here to take care of the children this time.”
“Really? Don’t you have to work?”
“No choice. Who let there be one big child who is so worrying?” The Ghost Mother rolled her eyes, but it was unexpectedly charming. “I’ll be your bodyguard.”
That was wonderful. Although the Ghost Mother was also an ancient person, she had been here for a long time and was naturally more receptive to new things. So she had long been more avant-garde and open-minded than Siyuan. She had even recently self-studied for the postgraduate entrance exam in an archaeology university major, obtaining a Master of Science degree… much higher than Siyuan’s education level.
After eating, the Ghost Mother finally took over the little yellow hat from Siyuan and became the main person in charge of the summer camp. Strangely enough, these guys were actually obedient and submissive to her. Even the Little Pope, who barely listened to anyone, was obedient to her, just like a naughty kitten seeing a fierce mother cat.
“What’s the reason for this…” Siyuan followed behind, looking up and down at the Ghost Mother who was pulling the Little Pope’s ear and lecturing him. “It’s unscientific.”
After Siyuan ruled out all possible reasons, his gaze fixed on Luofu’s chest, which was at least a D-cup. After carefully looking around, he suddenly had an epiphany. “So that’s how it is…”
“Where shall we go now… Oh…”
The Ghost Mother suddenly turned her head but ended up bumping squarely into Siyuan, who was pondering philosophical questions. Her forehead knocked against his chin, and it hurt so much that her eyes immediately reddened.
“Are you okay?” Siyuan immediately reached out and rubbed her forehead, discovering it was already swollen. “It’s swollen. Does it hurt?”
“It hurts…”
After she finished speaking, suddenly both of them froze on the spot. They stared at each other for a long time.
“Hurts?” Siyuan suddenly pressed his hands on her head and pulled her close to his face. “And it swells? That means…”
“Luofu… you…” Siyuan lifted her face and stared into her eyes. “A physical body. You have a physical body!”
The Ghost Mother herself was originally a spirit entity. She had always appeared in a solidified form using Spiritual Power, meaning she didn’t have a physical body. Although she looked and felt like a real person, she couldn’t possibly have tears or feel pain, let alone this vital reaction caused by congestion.
Now that she had these, it meant… she had already transformed from a spiritual essence into a physical body. It could be said that, starting from some unknown time, she had become a complete human being.
“That’s fantastic!” Siyuan gave her a very tight hug. “How did you do it?”
“I don’t know… I don’t know… I don’t know anything…” The Ghost Mother was also clueless. But this was her long-cherished dream. Once human long ago, she had finally regained the proper body temperature she should have, leaving her at a loss for where to even begin.
Nearby, watching them hug and cling to each other, Mengling made a funny face and pulled the Little Mountain Deity, who was intently watching Siyuan’s performance, aside. “Children aren’t allowed to watch!”
“What are they doing?”
“They are transmitting power.” Mengling tilted her head and looked at Siyuan. “They are transmitting power.”
“Little roe deer, little roe deer, what are you looking at?” The Little Mountain Deity found power transmission boring, so she turned and saw the Little Pope standing motionless at the street corner. “What are you looking at over there?”
The Little Pope glanced back at her, then raised his hand and pointed towards the street corner. “There’s a person over there.”
Mengling looked over and saw that the street corner was full of people…
“There’s no one there.”
“No, there’s someone who has been watching us, continuously.” The Little Pope had a serious expression and didn’t seem to be joking. “They’ve been watching since earlier.”
By this time, the Ghost Mother and Siyuan had also finished their affectionate moment. The Ghost Mother still had tear marks on her face, but her face was already filled with a happy smile. “Let’s go, let’s rest for a while first.”
After she finished speaking, she even looked back at Siyuan. “Little bro, will there be a physical examination later?”
“No… no.” Siyuan coughed twice repeatedly. “Don’t mess around. There are so many children here.”
“Really lacking in romantic feeling.” The Ghost Mother pouted. “Where shall we go?”
“I don’t know. Let’s wait for Ning Qingying. She should be here soon.”
Speak of the devil. Before the words “Ning Qingying” even settled, a van screeched to a halt on the road next to Siyuan. Then two big, strong black men in suits got out from inside, followed by the big star wearing a T-shirt and sunglasses, who leisurely stepped down from the vehicle.
After picking up Siyuan, once inside the car, Ning Qingying started complaining about her work. She also scolded Siyuan for leaving without saying goodbye and standing her up. After she finished complaining, she noticed there was an extra little red-haired boy beside Siyuan…
“Oh my! How adorable!” Ning Qingying hugged the Little Pope in her arms and looked slyly at Siyuan and the Ghost Mother. “Your child is already this big?”
Siyuan was already accustomed to Ning Qingying’s occasional intellectual lapses… so he didn’t even bother explaining. He just leaned back in his seat. “Where are you taking us?”
“The manor! Of course to stay at the manor!” Ning Qingying suddenly exclaimed excitedly. “I bought a big manor the day before yesterday!”
“You? Bought a manor?” Siyuan was stunned. “Do you have that much money?”
“It wasn’t expensive. For some reason, that Japanese guy was selling this manor for only 20 million yen. I saw the ad and went to see it. It’s very nice, so I bought it. But that Japanese guy was really polite. He actually thanked me tearfully for selling it to me so cheaply.”
Hearing this, Siyuan and the Ghost Mother exchanged glances. This kind of situation was not uncommon in the Special Cases Division. It was the kind of situation where a haunted house is sold at an extremely low price. How could Ning Qingying be so foolish, even if she was clumsy?
“Is it a haunted house?”
“No, no. How could there be such a beautiful haunted house?” Ning Qingying was as excited as if she had gotten married herself. “You’ll know when we get there.”
Right at that moment, the Little Pope suddenly tugged on Siyuan’s sleeve and pointed outside the car window. “Someone is watching us.”
Siyuan lifted the curtain and saw that there were no people on either side outside. It was just farm after farm and crops. Moreover, he didn’t sense even a trace of Yaoqi fluctuation. “No, there isn’t. You’re probably tired. Sleep for a while in the car first.”
Seeing that Siyuan didn’t believe him, the Little Pope seemed to get a little anxious. He looked around restlessly. “There really, really is someone.”
“Little friend, don’t scare people.” Ning Qingying pinched the Little Pope’s cheek and asked Siyuan with a laugh, “Is he really your son?”
“Just be foolish once is enough.” Siyuan smiled helplessly. “The races aren’t even the same, okay.”
“Oh, right… did you dye his hair? Children shouldn’t dye their hair.”
“Your Majesty, won’t you explain?”
The Little Pope was momentarily stunned, then obediently nodded. With a solemn and dignified expression, he said to Ning Qingying, “I am not this man’s offspring. I am the sole descendant of the Sacred Pope Edem Kaiser Stravihoff, ruling over vast territories. Under the whole heaven, every spot is the sovereign’s soil.”
“Oh? You even learned to use ‘Under the whole heaven, every spot is the sovereign’s soil’.” The Ghost Mother, in a very good mood, reached out and pinched his cheek. “So, do you want to be Xiaoyu’s Knight or do you want to be the Emperor?”
He turned his head to look at the Little Mountain Deity, who was sound asleep, and immediately fell into an inner conflict, struggling painfully between his subjects and the girl. After thinking for a long time, he blushed and lowered his head. “I… I… I don’t want to be Emperor anymore.”
“What little ambition…” Siyuan shook his head with a smile and teased. “Then what about your subjects?”
“I have an elder sister.”
“Didn’t you give your sister to me?”
“But… but…” The Little Pope’s face instantly turned bright red as he looked pitifully at Siyuan. “You can be the Prince Consort! If my sister becomes the Queen, you can be the Prince Consort. And if you and my sister have a child, he would be the legitimate heir of the Sacred Empire.”
“Oh… you even want to have a child with his sister?” The Ghost Mother glanced at Siyuan and said jealously, “Not bad, huh. Got yourself a son, and also dealt with that son’s sister, right? Not a loss.”
“Wait… I mean,” Siyuan rubbed his head, “I don’t even know who his sister is…”
“Is this jealousy, or jealousy, or jealousy?” Ning Qingying’s eyes darted back and forth between the Ghost Mother and Siyuan. “Your relationship isn’t ordinary. I need to tell Qianruo.”
“Go ahead, go ahead.” Suddenly, a Demonic Mark appeared on the Ghost Mother’s face, making her look quite terrifying as she moved close to Ning Qingying’s face. “But you will bear the consequences.”
Ning Qingying shrank her neck. “Okay, okay… I won’t tell then. By the way, Siyuan, Joan is here too. She mentioned you just a moment ago. We’ve arrived, get off the car!”
Opening the car door, Siyuan looked up at the manor and suddenly realized that this place really didn’t match the image of a haunted house. It was entirely pink in structure, like a little princess castle from a fairy tale. It felt adorable…
“This is the place?” Siyuan looked around. “Not bad.”
“Right! I said it was good.” Ning Qingying grinned. “Come on, I’ll take you around for a look.”
