"Jian Zi, don't be sad. Grandma also said it's just a high probability."

However, as Yurikawa Hana walked ahead, she was surprised to find that Jian Zi was not sad anymore. Instead, she had a smile on her face and was in a cheerful mood.

Yurikawa Hana became even more worried.

She reached out and touched Si Gu Jian Zi's forehead: "Jian Zi, are you overly sad?"

"What are you saying!"

Si Gu Jian Zi shook off Yurikawa Hana's hand and said helplessly: "How could I be sad?"

"Really?"

Yurikawa Hana looked at her suspiciously, feeling like she was forcing a smile.

Si Gu Jian Zi nodded solemnly: "Really, truer than a pearl."

Hearing this, Yurikawa Hana felt a little relieved.

Her gaze fell on Bai Luo, looking at his profile dyed red by the sunset glow. She seemed to understand something and nodded in sudden realization.

"Indeed, if Bai Luo were my boyfriend, I would also be very happy, just like Mom has other children. I wouldn't mind other girls."

This sudden sentence caused both Si Gu Jian Zi and Bai Luo to stumble back half a step simultaneously.

The two turned their heads and looked at Yurikawa Hana in unison.

Yurikawa Hana blinked her eyes and asked in confusion: "Is there a problem?"

Si Gu Jian Zi couldn't help but roll her eyes, utterly helpless: "What a strange analogy!"

"Hmm..."

Yurikawa Hana tilted her head and answered seriously: "Because Bai Luo is as gentle as Mom."

Hearing this, Si Gu Jian Zi choked, unable to find words to refute for a moment.

It was getting late.

The three of them headed home. However, what Si Gu Jian Zi didn't expect was that Bai Luo actually followed her home.

At first, Si Gu Jian Zi thought he was just going the same way, but the further they walked, the more something felt off.

She turned back and tentatively asked: "Bai Luo, why are you following me? Aren't you going home?"

"Of course, I'm coming to your place to play."

Bai Luo said as if it were obvious, then his eyes dimmed: "Does Jian Zi not welcome me?"

"How could I not welcome you?"

Si Gu Jian Zi quickly denied it, pretending to be calm as she opened the door and invited Bai Luo in, "Hurry and come in."

In the living room, a thin middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Seeing Si Gu Jian Zi return home, he immediately looked up and said: "Jian Zi, welcome home."

Si Gu Jian Zi stiffened for a moment. She glanced at the evil spirit in the corner of the living room, didn't respond, and walked straight to the kitchen.

"Bai Luo, sit in the living room for a while, or you can wait in my room. I'll prepare some tea and snacks."

After saying that, she ducked into the kitchen.

The middle-aged man saw Bai Luo and was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he got up and walked in front of Bai Luo, examining him carefully.

"This is the first time Jian Zi has brought a friend of the opposite sex back."

The middle-aged man said gently: "He's not her boyfriend, is he? This child looks so young."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man showed an awkward smile, not knowing how to continue.

He pushed up his glasses and muttered to himself: "But as long as Jian Zi likes him, Dad will bless you."

The middle-aged man picked up his newspaper again.

Just then, a childish voice sounded in his ear.

"Okay."

The middle-aged man was startled, somewhat taken aback: "You can see me?"

"Yes, and not just me, even Jian Zi can see now."

Hearing Bai Luo's answer, a hint of joy flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he asked excitedly: "Jian Zi can see me too? Really? Then Jian Zi she..."

He stopped mid-sentence, as if suddenly remembering something, and stood in front of Bai Luo with a serious expression.

In the corner of the living room, there was a huge dog-headed evil spirit, staring at Bai Luo behind the middle-aged man with greedy eyes, as if it would pounce and tear him apart the next second.

"Bad dog!"

The middle-aged man scolded.

He stood in front of Bai Luo and glared at the dog-headed evil spirit: "Stay away from this child!"

Just as the man and the dog were facing each other, Bai Luo took the initiative to step forward, extended a finger, and gently pointed at the dog-headed evil spirit—

"Pressure!"

Chapter Fifteen: If you're sad, just cry it all out.

"Pressure!"

Bai Luo's voice lightly fell.

The dog-headed evil spirit seemed to be pressed down by an invisible force, and its body involuntarily fell to the ground.

Its body trembled violently, seemingly greatly frightened, appearing listless.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, looking at Bai Luo in disbelief, his eyes full of shock.

"How, how did you do that?"

Bai Luo smiled slightly: "It's very simple, I'm much stronger than it. As long as I release a little aura, it will be afraid."

The middle-aged man was still immersed in shock. He swallowed hard, trying to digest Bai Luo's words.

"So, are you an evil spirit or an exorcist? What is your purpose in approaching Jian Zi?"

"Me? I'm neither an evil spirit nor an exorcist. I'm just a Slime. You can think of me as a Youkai. As for the purpose of approaching Jian Zi,"

Saying this, Bai Luo turned his head and glanced towards the kitchen: "I approach Jian Zi perhaps for a bit of fun, but the most important point is that Jian Zi is my friend."

Listening to Bai Luo's words and looking at the smile on that childish face, the middle-aged man froze in place. After a while, he smiled: "Then I'll leave Jian Zi to you. If Jian Zi dares to bully you, you can always find Touko and ask her to teach Jian Zi a lesson for you."

"Okay."

Bai Luo nodded, extended his Ender Hand, grabbed the dog-headed evil spirit by the neck, and lifted it in front of him.

The dog-headed evil spirit struggled a few times, but it couldn't escape Bai Luo's grip and gradually gave up resisting.

The sound of the struggle seemed to attract Si Gu Jian Zi's attention, and she rushed out of the kitchen.

She happened to see Bai Luo holding the dog-headed evil spirit by the neck with a black-purple translucent giant hand.

Seeing this, Si Gu Jian Zi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason she hadn't asked Bai Luo to help get rid of the evil spirit before was because the evil spirit at home was too fierce. Although she knew Bai Luo was strong, she was still worried he might get hurt because of it.

Now it seems the strength levels are completely different, it's a one-sided situation.

Si Gu Jian Zi ran up to Bai Luo and asked anxiously: "Are you okay?"

Bai Luo shook his head, glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, and then looked at Si Gu Jian Zi: "I'm going to look around your room and see if you have any little secrets! Don't follow me! You stay in the living room and chat with your dad."

Si Gu Jian Zi was bewildered, but Bai Luo didn't give her a chance to react. He quickly ran to the stairs and went up to the second floor.

"Jian Zi, you can see, right?"

The middle-aged man suddenly spoke, his tone gentle but firm.

If it were any other time, facing an evil spirit saying "you can see" in such a firm tone, Si Gu Jian Zi would have run away like crazy. But today, she didn't. She only felt her eyes sting.

She looked at the middle-aged man, pursed her lips, and whispered: "I can see."

...

Arriving at Si Gu Jian Zi's room, Bai Luo looked around the room.

The room layout was clean and tidy.

"Now this is a girl's room. What were those Purple Old Woman and others?"

Bai Luo sighed.

This was the standard decoration for a girl's room in his impression.

Although he had been to women's rooms before, those guys' rooms could only be considered half a girl's room.

For example, those led by Yakumo Yukari, their rooms were mostly quiet and elegant.

It's also easy to understand, they are too old. If their rooms were decorated like little girls, they would probably be laughed to death.

As for others, like Kaguya, her room couldn't even be called a room.

Snacks and cola were piled all over the floor, clothes were everywhere, and there was almost nowhere to step.

If you were unlucky, you might even find Princess fragments.

In short.

It was one word—messy.

If Yagokoro Eirin or Reisen didn't forcefully clean it up every so often, her room would have long become a garbage dump.

While Bai Luo was complaining, he didn't notice that a faint 'well' character was subtly appearing in the surrounding void.

Bai Luo sat in front of the computer desk. First, he browsed through the downloaded software, then checked the browser history and bookmarks, and finally went through the folders one by one, hoping to find some hidden little surprises. However, half an hour passed, and he didn't even see a single suspicious picture, let alone games.

Closing the computer, Bai Luo's gaze fell on the area under the bed.

Anyone who likes watching old anime knows that usually, under the bed is the best place to hide things.

Bai Luo narrowed his eyes. He came to the side of the bed, squatted down, and fumbled around a few times. Sure enough, he pulled out a cardboard box.

However, before he could even open the box, Jian Zi's panicked voice suddenly came from the living room.

"Dad, what's wrong? Stay there and don't move, I'll go find Bai Luo to help you!"

After saying that, footsteps ran up the stairs from downstairs. The room door was opened, and Si Gu Jian Zi said in a flustered manner: "Bai Luo, Dad, I don't know why, he's become transparent, like he's about to disappear."

"Transparent?"

Bai Luo thought for a moment. Souls usually remain in the human world because of lingering attachments.

Jian Zi's father, besides being reluctant to leave his family, felt more guilt towards Jian Zi. And the conversation just now might have lessened a lot of his lingering attachments.

After thinking it over, Bai Luo still told Jian Zi that her father was about to leave.

After hearing this, Si Gu Jian Zi's entire body stiffened. Her eyes were red, but she stubbornly held back her tears.

"Is there really no way?"

Bai Luo shook his head: "No, but I think he will be better off after his lingering attachments completely disappear than staying here."

Si Gu Jian Zi bit her lip and remained silent. Finally, she nodded. Just as she was about to leave, Bai Luo grabbed her and handed her a pudding.

Si Gu Jian Zi was startled for a moment, then lowered her head to look at the pudding.

"Although you can't change the outcome, you can at least choose to fulfill your father's last lingering attachment."

...

The night deepened, the moon hid behind the clouds, the sky was pitch black, with only a few scattered stars twinkling.

Bai Luo stood silently by the window for a long time, until the room door was pushed open again.

Si Gu Jian Zi's face was pale, her eyes were red, and her expression was tired. It seemed she had used up all her strength to get here.

"Did you give her the pudding?"

Bai Luo turned his head and looked at her.

"Yes."

Si Gu Jian Zi replied softly.
