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

Because few people have been going out in this part of Xiaobei District in the past few days, the taxi ride took much longer than expected.

By the time I got home, it was already midnight.

After taking a quick shower, Jiuge went straight back to her room.

After scooping the litter box and adding some cat food for Naitang, Anchen opened the room window, chose a landing spot, and jumped down.

Because he hadn't had much rest for several days, An Chen wasn't in a good mental state.

After some consideration, he decided that he would only stay outside for half the night this time.

"Big brother, what are you doing out so late?" Mao Maotou suddenly appeared out of nowhere and made a scary face at An Chen.

Thanks to An Chen's suggestion, Mao Maotou suddenly had a change of heart.

As soon as his mother got home, he floated out and began to unleash his wild, unruly nature.

An Chen aimed at the little boy's head and tapped him lightly before asking, "Did your mother go back?"

Mao Mao scratched his barren head. "When we got back, I even saw my own body being pulled out of the water. It was so damn scary."

"Kids shouldn't use foul language..." An Chen punched the little boy on the head.

He didn't bother with the hairy hair anymore and walked out of the residential area.

The once bustling intersection was now deserted. After observing the surrounding security cameras, An Chen found a blind spot and went inside.

"Big brother, is the pretty sister really not your wife?" The little boy floated in the air and made a gesture of picking his toes.

Glancing at him, An Chen said, "Do you know that it's illegal for college students to get married? They'll be arrested, imprisoned, and punished for life, never to find a wife again."

Upon hearing An Chen's words, Mao Maotou's expression turned somewhat frightened.

After thinking it over carefully, he asked hesitantly, "Can I find a husband after I get out of prison?"

An Chen was speechless.

Seeing that Mao Maotou kept following him, he couldn't use his mediumship to summon the spirit.

Rubbing his temples, An Chen asked, "Are you going to stay with me the whole time?"

Mao Mao Tou changed his posture, cupping his dark face in his hands. "If that pretty older sister isn't your wife, I want to play with her often before Mom has her second child."

"..."

An Chen looked at his hands, which had been picking at his toes, with a somewhat disgusted expression.

Judging from Mao Mao Tou's extraordinary talent for pranks, Jiu Ge will probably be scared to tears on the spot sooner or later.

"I'm really good at playing pranks, and I'm sure I can make pretty ladies laugh all the time. Mom says that women are most beautiful when they laugh!" Mao Mao confidently patted his chest and declared.

Although he was a man, he could perfectly imitate any Sadako, whether she was covered in blood, emerging from a manhole, crawling out of the TV, jumping out of the toilet, or suddenly making a face out of nowhere.

A woman as beautiful as Sister Jiuge would easily make me laugh out loud.

Feeling sorry for Jiu Ge, An Chen rubbed his temples and said, "You can ask her to play, but there's a condition."

"What are the conditions?" Mao Mao's eyes lit up, and he looked at An Chen with anticipation.

"Keep my secret of sneaking out a secret and swear you won't follow me at night anymore."

"Oh……"

After the little hair floated away, An Chen released some of his aura.

He closed his eyes and called out to himself.

After waiting for a moment with his arms crossed, a spirit with the appearance of a young man with slicked-back hair appeared in front of An Chen.

"What's up, boss?"

The young man was somewhat surprised.

After An Chen rescued them, they repeatedly asked An Chen to take them in as his underlings, but apart from spreading the news, An Chen never actually ordered them around or called on them.

"Besides you few, are there any other spirits who know my true identity?"

"No, when we spread the message to the various spirits, we only refer to you as 'our boss'."

"Things are getting tense lately, be careful."

"Yes, boss."

“I might be working shorter hours these next few days. Also, remember to let that troublesome guy know he should be coming to the pseudo-capital in the next couple of days.”

"clear."

After speaking, An Chen waved his hand, indicating that Qin Ye could leave.

After Qin Ye disappeared, he pondered for a moment and began to walk back.

Several days have passed since the annihilation of the clones, and Phantom has yet to make any move.

As long as he can lure out the characters from the Phantom's side, An Chen is probably capable of anything within his power.

Suddenly, An Chen thought of Mao Mao Tou.

He turned around and went to where Mao Maotou's house was.

He slipped past the security cameras and into the house, where he offered a simple incense stick to Mao Maotou.

It was already 2 a.m. when I got back to the neighborhood.

The window was open. He found a foothold, jumped, and easily leaped inside.

An Chen didn't get up until nine o'clock the next morning because he had no classes.

After washing up, he returned to the living room and opened a can of cat food for Naitang.

I looked around but didn't see Jiuge. She must have gone to school.

After quickly tidying up his things, An Chen went to the kitchen and made himself something to eat.

When we returned to the room, Mao Mao suddenly jumped out from under the table, his eyes bloodshot and dark red.

After giving Mao Mao a few hard taps on the head, An Chen kindly told him that Jiu Ge wouldn't be back until after noon at the earliest.

Chapter 16 Everyone Makes Mistakes

At twelve o'clock, Jiu Ge, dressed in simple casual clothes and with her long ponytail tied, returned.

An Chen was momentarily stunned when he saw Jiu Ge's new look.

Good-looking people probably look good even in a burlap sack.

When Jiu Ge entered, An Chen noticed that she was carrying a package in her hand.

"This is the payment sent by the association." As if knowing what An Chen wanted to ask, Jiu Ge gave him a cold look and answered first.

"That's pretty fast," An Chen remarked.

The task was assigned last night, and the payment arrived at noon today.

Even a certain company might not have this speed; the person in charge of distributing salaries in the finance department must have secretly used Phantom Teleport.

"I don't need it either, it's yours. If you don't want it, just throw it away." Jiuge tossed the package aside, picked up the milk candy, and started sucking on it.

Glancing at the package, An Chen brought out the noodles he had prepared in the kitchen.

"Didn't you say you were going to give the compensation to your colleague who's not very good at it?" An Chen asked while eating his noodles.

"Didn't she say she didn't want it?" Jiu Ge looked at An Chen as if he were an idiot.

"You don't get along with them?"

"It's not that bad, is it?" Jiuge put down her chopsticks, tilted her head, and thought for a moment.

They probably just don't talk much and aren't very good at handling situations.

"..."

An Chen remained silent.

"Su Zhi is considered one of the more capable members of the association." Jiu Ge thought about the scene of the other party throwing leaves yesterday, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that Su Zhi's spiritual power is starting to dissipate?

"Everyone makes mistakes," An Chen said calmly.

Su Zhi is indeed strong, but unfortunately she ran into him.

That's true.

Upon hearing this, Jiuge nodded, accepting An Chen's explanation.

After lunch, An Chen quickly tidied up and prepared to go to school.

Before leaving, he stopped and looked at Jiuge, who was still playing with the cat.

Feeling An Chen's gaze, Jiu Ge looked up.

Thinking about the contents of her dream, she suddenly lowered her head again.

"Are you not very good at dealing with people, so you treat strangers that way?" An Chen asked.

"What kind of attitude?" Jiu Ge squinted at An Chen, her eyes showing some displeasure.

"It's nothing, I'm leaving."
