You're my wife, don't doubt it!

“Shadow’s activities are becoming more and more frequent. Just now, I observed the qi, and the deceased did not seem to die of natural causes, nor did he commit suicide.”

“It’s obvious that someone is using the ‘world of cognition’ to do evil,” Yu Bo said with a worried expression. “It’s not just about turning people into useless people anymore; it’s even about mind control. Secular governments and police have no good way to deal with this kind of supernatural evil.”

"Who do you think is pulling the strings behind the scenes?" Shi Hui asked.

"Freemasons..."

Shi Hui closed his eyes and recited: "All sentient beings have Buddha-nature and can become Buddhas. Only by constantly keeping mind in mind can one become a Buddha."

Yu Bo shrugged.

Shi Hui slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yu Bo: "'The world of cognition' is essentially the mental world of all beings. Only right mindfulness and a pure mind can help beings get rid of delusions and greed, thereby resisting the erosion of the human mind by 'shadow' and 'temple'."

“Ah, whatever,” Yu Bo said, “The ‘organization’ means that you should keep a closer eye on things and get things moving.”

Shi Hui glanced at Xiao Yao, Shen Jie, Yu Luying and others who were talking in the funeral home lobby: "These are the 'potential talents' you recently discovered? They're quite young."

“I guess so,” Yu Bo nodded. “It was all a coincidence, they just came to us. Especially the one in the middle, the tall one, yes, the guy in the gray suit with glasses, you see him? I think he’s extremely talented and has the potential to achieve great things—and there’s another kid, I didn’t bring him today.”

"Are you going to let them know about the existence of the 'organization'?" Master Shihui looked at the young people.

“Let’s observe his character for a while longer,” Yu Bo said cautiously. “The scriptures say, ‘A bad tree does not bear good fruit.’ Talent and character are like fruit and roots; I must ensure—”

“I think he…” Shi Hui seemed to frown, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself, “He has a holy light about him.”

"Oh?" Yu Bo raised an eyebrow.

“I see that the light emanating from him is very strong,” Shi Hui continued, looking at the boy in the gray suit. “But deep within the light, there is a wisp of… faint black mist? Black aura? Hush, he’s coming.”

"Brother Bo—" Yu Bo heard a voice: "Are you coming or not?"

"Let's go, let's go." Yu Bo stomped out his cigarette butt. "Master Shi Hui, we'll get together again sometime."

Shi Hui placed his right thumb and little finger near his ear, waved to Yu Bo, turned around and walked to a deserted corner, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Chapter 168 A Happy Family of Four

2023-04-21

Yu Bo drove his black sedan and dropped Xiao Yao, Shen Jie, and Yu Luying off at the entrance of Xiao Yao's alleyway.

"Xiao Yao, get the slippers for Silly Girl." Shen Jie instructed as soon as she entered the door.

"Hey."

“I’ll come by myself, I’ll come by myself,” Yu Luying said hurriedly.

She gently bent down, opened the shoe cabinet by the door, took out a pair of white flat slippers, and tossed them to the ground with a "thud." Then, holding onto the wall, she lifted her left foot, used her right hand to hold the heel of the black open-toe leather slipper, and took it off. Her movements were slow and elegant, like a delicate dance.

Although encased in opaque black stockings, five slender toes were still faintly visible.

These stockings are made of a soft, smooth material. The black fabric hugs her feet tightly, showcasing the beautiful curves of her feet perfectly.

Unlike Shen Jie's 700-yuan pantyhose, Yu Luying's soles were already a bit pilled, but this made her look more real and cute. The outlined arch of her foot reminded one of the graceful posture of a female dancer in classical dance.

The socks wrapped around her rounded heels, making Xiao Yao want to kiss them. The girl's ankles were slender and beautiful, like exquisite works of art, highlighting her perfect foot shape, and as always, making the boy's heart flutter.

"Look, look again, do you want to stick your eyeballs on?" Shen Jie's jealous voice rang in my ears.

"Sister." Yu Luying had already done the same thing, taking off her other little leather shoe and calling out somewhat shyly.

Xiao Yao quickly and casually shifted his gaze to Shen Jie's delicate feet, which were also encased in black stockings.

He saw Shen Jie and Yu Luying simultaneously put their feet into slippers and then put their leather shoes back on the shoe rack.

Xiao Yao thought he might be seeing a faint... milky scent coming from Yu Luying's calves, but he couldn't tell if it was just his imagination.

“Silly girl,” Shen Jie said as she walked into the bedroom, “that bastard is a pervert, a creep. When you come to tutor him later, you don’t need to wear any socks.”

"Oh, okay." Yu Luying nodded obediently in response.

Xiao Yao: "?"

As soon as she returned to her room, Shen Jie went into the wardrobe to change her clothes, while Yu Luying sat somewhat awkwardly on the hard sofa in the corner.

Xiao Yao found the air conditioner remote on the bed and turned on the old air conditioner with a "beep".

He knew very well that Shen Jie's eagerness to change clothes was not simply due to the heat.

Actually, Xiao Yao had always thought Shen Jie looked quite good in that long dress and tights, but when she dressed like that and stood next to Yu Luying, who was also wearing a long dress and tights...

Well, without comparison there is no harm, this is practically persecution.

Xiao Yao looked at Yu Luying sitting on the sofa. This outfit made her look even slimmer and taller, further highlighting the advantages of her body proportions.

The boy had always thought that a girl's height was insignificant, but only today did he realize that it really does make a difference in the visual effect when dressing.

Xiao Yao suddenly understood why Shen Jie liked to wear shorts and short skirts.

"Could you please stop staring at me like that?" Yu Luying lowered her eyes, somewhat embarrassed.

Xiao Yao quickly shifted his gaze to a small black dot on the floor beside him: "Ahem..."

Then, forcing himself to speak, he said shamelessly, "But didn't you say you wanted to be my girlfriend?"

“…Then you see.” A few seconds later, Xiao Yao heard an even softer reply.

"I……"

As soon as Xiao Yao uttered "I," the wardrobe door opened, and two short-haired girls emerged one after the other.

The slightly shorter girl wore a large red T-shirt that reached her thighs, making it look like pajamas. She was petite, wore an XXII-shaped hair clip, and her smooth nape was visible beneath her medium-length hair. Her legs were slender, long, and delicate, and she wore no socks, only slippers.

The tall girl wore a green summer nightgown, revealing her fair skin. Her short hair was neatly combed, slightly curled, and her eyes exuded a playful charm. She had a graceful figure, and although she wasn't wearing socks, her calves appeared particularly muscular from long-term exercise.

The girl in the green dress didn't seem fully awake, her face showing signs of sleepiness, but her beauty still made it impossible to look away.

Yu Luying stood up instinctively.

"Silly girl, sit down." Shen Jie walked to the sofa, picked up Yu Luying and sat down together, introducing her as, "This is Shen Tianyun, my daughter."

Yu Luying said cautiously, "We should have already met."

“Last night when you were tutoring Xiao Yao, I made a promise to the child,” Shen Jie said, crossing her smooth thighs and resting her right elbow on Yu Luying’s left shoulder. “I told her that you would take good care of Xiao Yao and tutor him while I’m not home—she will get along well with you.”

“Uh…” Yu Luying said.

"Tianyun, why aren't you greeting anyone!" The girl in red cast a disgruntled glance at the girl in green.

“People,” Shen Tianyun said.

Shen Jie bent her leg back and kicked him.

"Uh... Hello, Aunt Yu," Shen Tianyun stammered.

Three black lines appeared on Yu Luying's forehead: "No, that makes me sound old."

“Our child has never been talkative since he was little. Come on, shake hands,” Shen Jie commanded.

"Tianyun, please take good care of me." Yu Luying stood up again and awkwardly extended her right hand to Shen Tianyun.

"No, that would mess up the generations," Shen Tianyun said with a smile, taking Yu Luying's hand. Xiao Yao's hand immediately felt a warmth. "You agree, right, Brother Xiao Yao?"

"I'll hit you." Xiao Yao waved his fist.

Yu Luying smiled and said, "Tianyun, he hit you before too."

"I did fight!" Shen Tianyun revealed a vengeful expression.

"Really?" Yu Luying glanced at Xiao Yao, unable to suppress a smile.

“Really,” Xiao Yao said, deliberately putting on a stern face, “hitting her is very stress-relieving, and the child likes it very much.”

Shen Tianyun walked up to Xiao Yao, raised her bare foot and kicked him, but he nimbly dodged.

“Oh dear, he has a tendency toward domestic violence,” Yu Luying said, pointing at Xiao Yao.

Yu Luying originally said she would cook lunch, but Xiao Yao felt that it was inhuman to ask a "guest" to cook for his family of three, so he insisted on cooking himself.

"Can you?" Yu Luying blinked her big eyes.

Xiao Yao glanced at the black headband on her head: "I've been... secretly doing research lately."

Actually, he only took a break to research one dish, which was shredded pork with green peppers, a dish that Shen Jie loved to eat.

The boy opened the refrigerator, took out a few green peppers, the kind with thin skin, cut off the ends and the veins inside, and cut them into strips.

Then he started cutting the pork.

“That’s not how you hold a kitchen knife,” Yu Luying said after watching for a while. “You can’t get any leverage like that. You need to use three fingers, like this…”

"so?"

"no……"

"What kind of thing is it?"

Yu Luying walked to Xiao Yao's side, stretched out her slender right hand, grasped the back of Xiao Yao's hand, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and then straightened the position of his fingers one by one.

"You need to hold the meat with your left hand when you're cutting it, otherwise it will keep moving."

"I'm afraid I'll cut my hand."

"No, you can do it like this: hook your fingers together and use your knuckles to hold the blade in place..."

Yu Luying's hands were those of a young girl who often did housework; they were slightly rough to the touch, and there were calluses on the tips of her left fingers. But overall, they were still very beautiful, with long, slender fingers and neat, clean nails. Xiao Yao thought that hands like hers should be used to play the harp, rather than to soak in soapy water to wash dishes and scrub clothes day after day.
