What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

Although we don't know what methods Jiuge used back then, the fact that she was able to deal with ordinary spirits shows that she made a lot of effort at that time.

"If I make further progress in the future, can I get a reward?" Jiuge asked shyly in a low voice.

"Yes, of course, let's go inside." An Chen gently pinched Jiu Ge's nose and opened the apartment door.

The next second, the two of them were stunned.

The apartment was spotless, as if it had just been cleaned by a professional cleaning company.

Apart from some newly discovered cat hair, the floor was so shiny it could reflect light, and all the original furnishings were neatly arranged and gleaming.

In the very center of the living room, Milk Candy, wearing a bib, was eating cat food with an incredibly elegant posture.

Those eyes, that expression, seemed to have been blessed.

"It seems that the witch's bottle really worked." An Chen was clearly surprised as well.

"What is a witch's bottle?" Jiuge tilted her head.

"The rewards you received for completing the missions before," An Chen replied.

"I have an idea," he said thoughtfully.

"what?"

"Zhang knew that this attribute existed; it shouldn't be wasted."

Chapter 120 Midnight Horror

Two more days have passed.

Milk candy is indeed much smarter than before.

Whether it's secretly tearing open the cat food bag or going to the water dispenser to get water, it's as agile as a newly transformed kitten spirit.

Aside from not wanting to scoop her own litter box and some other stubborn habits that cats can't change, in other aspects, Naitang has become visibly cuter and more human-like.

In the past two days, An Chen and Jiu Ge did not have the strange dreams that were rumored, and there was no new shocking news from the Knights.

Afterwards, Elder Huang called Jiuge several times, urging An Chen to take a spiritual power test as soon as possible, and saying that he would be welcome to join the association as a full-time employee if he wished.

The two were still looking forward to the outcome of their prayers at the Red Mandarin Duck Temple.

Although Hongyuan Temple is a sacred temple, as long as you draw a fortune stick with a probability of more than a specified number, your wish will almost certainly come true sooner or later, no matter how long you wait.

As for the recurring dreams that might come, Jiuge will not mention them for now, and Anchen is indifferent to them.

Rather, it's better that they came.

If you can achieve that level of spirituality, you might gain unexpected benefits from further exposure.

It didn't matter what the other person's identity was in life; An Chen was too lazy to guess, and even less inclined to think about it.

Now, he carries the heavy responsibility of the Phantom and has also become a couple with Jiu Ge on the Ghost Festival. Overall, he is busier than before.

Once the fact that he was a mysterious person was made public, many other things became clearer, making it much easier to understand what An Chen wanted to do, what he was thinking, and what he needed.

Previously, An Chen had to desperately find excuses and reasons to talk to Jiu Ge, and even had to go downstairs in the middle of the night with "high difficulty." Now, he only needs to explain things clearly and honestly.

For some reason, Jiu Ge didn't ask An Chen about his background or what he had experienced, and An Chen didn't tell her either.

In the past two days, quite tacitly, apart from An Chen's daily tasks of assigning people to his spirit subordinates, the two of them tacitly stayed together like lazy fish, slacking off and doing nothing.

Despite their colleagues' tireless efforts to travel back and forth to the fake capital in order to capture the phantom "Awu," An Chen and Jiu Ge remained unmoved, too lazy to even pretend anymore.

Having just experienced that torturous hallucination, and now forced to bear the psychological pressure brought by Huang Jingjing, all they want to do is rest.

"An Chen, An Chen, look, Nai Tang is peeking at your phone." Jiu Ge, who was drinking an iced beverage and watching the news replay with An Chen shoulder to shoulder, noticed Nai Tang's furtive figure standing half-upright beside her.

When she returned home two days ago and saw Naitang looking like a wealthy lady, she was almost shocked.

Fortunately, after meeting An Chen, nothing normal happened, and Jiu Ge's psychological acceptance level increased dramatically.

Upon hearing Jiuge's words, Naitang's ears twitched back, and she immediately put her phone back where it was and ran away.

"Hmm?" An Chen glanced at the spot where Naitang had been standing.

The phone screen is already on.

In a short time, Naitang actually memorized his lock screen password and can now unlock the phone by using her side paw pads.

"Zhang Zhidao is really amazing; he wasn't scared by the milk candy at all." Jiuge put the drink on the coffee table, covered her mouth, and smiled.

“Perhaps he doesn’t find it strange that the savior has a spirit cat in his house,” An Chen thought for a moment and analyzed.

"You actually have the audacity to call yourself a savior..." Jiuge muttered under her breath.

"He's an honest man." An Chen felt no remorse for his lie.

“However, I always thought that most Western witches’ magic was not this powerful.” As she spoke, Jiuge suddenly hugged An Chen’s arm.

“Yes, I thought so at first too.” An Chen nodded, his gaze shifting to Jiu Ge, who was clinging to his arm.

Before this, he really hadn't thought that Jiu Ge had such a clingy side.

It was very hot, and Jiuge was dressed very lightly.

The pajamas she was wearing today were already short and had many holes in them. When she hugged her like this, An Chen could feel the touch of Jiu Ge's delicate skin even more directly than in the previous illusion.

Experiencing a different kind of palpitation, An Chen felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat's claws.

"wrong!"

Just as An Chen was savoring this strange and wonderful feeling, Jiu Ge released his arm and sat up.

"What's wrong?" An Chen asked in surprise.

Everything was fine just now, how did it suddenly turn like this?

“Milk Candy is a female cat, right?” Jiu Ge reached out and tugged at An Chen’s sleeve.

The sleeve is coming undone.

"Yes...yes." An Chen nodded.

"Will she try to take you away from me in the future?" Jiu Ge's head got closer and closer to An Chen's.

Even she hadn't peeked at An Chen's lock screen password, yet Naitang had already peeked at it and memorized it.

“It…it’s sterilized.” An Chen glanced helplessly at his sleeve.

"You mean you can steal something if you don't get sterilized?" Jiuge stopped what she was doing, her face darkening.

She seemed to have grasped other key points.

"No... your thought process is wrong. What I mean is, even if it becomes a human, it will never go into heat."

An Chen quickly explained.

How did this little girl manage to understand his words in such a way?

"Oh, okay, then I forgive you." Jiuge clapped her hands, her expression becoming refreshed again.

An Chen fell silent.

In the distance, Naitang peered in with a deep gaze at Jiuge.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

An Chen and Jiu Ge lay half-reclined on the sofa, using the laptop's screen mirroring function to watch a movie on the TV.

Under the pretext that it was still daytime and a good time to test one's courage, An Chen played a movie called "Midnight Horror".

Jiuge initially wanted to refuse, but when An Chen suggested that she could watch it while lying in his arms, she gave in.

The curtains are closed.

As soon as the movie started, Jiu Ge had already snuggled into An Chen's arms.

An Chen wrapped his arms around Jiu Ge, staring intently at the television screen.

On TV, several foreigners carrying flashlights walked into an abandoned house.

The eerie lights flickered on and off, and the terrifying background music played intermittently.

A child crying, a puppy suddenly collapsing to the ground, a girl hallucinating...

The content on the screen became increasingly sinister.

An Chen kept staring intently at the screen, without even blinking.

Jiuge half-covered her eyes, half-looking at the screen.

When she sensed that the main characters were about to encounter something particularly terrifying, she would close her eyes.

"Are you done? Is it over?"

"Alright, alright, you can open your eyes now."

Halfway through the movie, An Chen and Jiu Ge were repeating the same dialogue over and over again.

"Waaaaaah..." The woman in the drama cried loudly because she was frightened.

"It's so cold..." the protagonist next to him exclaimed.

“Alas…” Jiuge suddenly felt the coldness around her.

"An Chen?" She looked back in alarm.

“…” An Chen remained motionless.

The next second, the TV turned off by itself.

A chilly breeze began to blow through the living room.

Chapter 121 Something Strange Has Arrived

The TV and laptop screens suddenly went black, and the cell phone signal disappeared. As if night had fallen, the entire apartment dimmed.

The faint light flickered on and off, like a scene from a horror movie playing out in real life.

An oppressive feeling, seemingly from nowhere, began to creep in.

An Chen held Jiu Ge protectively in his arms, calmly observing the sudden change before him.
