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

"Pack up the food and take it home."

Ignoring An Chen beside her, Jiu Ge walked expressionlessly toward the breakfast shop in the opposite direction.

In her mind, spirits are not only scary and frightening, but also harmful to physical and mental health if you come into contact with them too much.

The days ahead are definitely not going to be so easy, it's all An Chen's fault.

When she returned to the apartment, Jiuge's eyes were still as lifeless as ever.

Sitting stiffly on the sofa, she paused for five seconds between each swallow.

"Are you that afraid?" An Chen threw away the empty paper bowl, looking somewhat puzzled.

In his mind, there was really nothing to fear about spirits. If he encountered a spirit that was wicked, had problems, or lacked spiritual virtue, Jiuge could simply grab its head and purify it.

"I'm not afraid."

After a minute's interval, Jiuge emitted a mechanical voice.

How could someone with the highest level of purification ability be afraid of spirits? Her limbs were weak and her center of gravity was unstable, so she must have suffered from heatstroke during the day, she tried to deceive herself.

"Okay, that's good. I know you won't be afraid."

An Chen smiled and nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"Unfortunately, most spirits won't come here while I'm here." He stared at Jiuge meaningfully, his tone somewhat regretful.

"Really?" Jiuge's ashen face suddenly regained color, and a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.

"Really." An Chen said with a serious expression.

The barrier he set up wasn't set up for nothing; it wouldn't hinder Jiuge's perception abilities.

As long as Zhang Zhidong, the ceiling of the spirit world, doesn't personally bring spirits into the apartment, there won't be any problems.

Jiuge has never set up a barrier outside the apartment because she has her own reasons.

She might be safe after setting it up, but Jiuge might not be able to sense the evil spirits that might appear outside.

An Chen admired this about her and liked her personality very much.

Even if they are timid, they are still conscientious and dedicated to their duties, and they never waver in their principles. They work hard and are willing to sacrifice their own feelings for their ideals. These are the unique charms of Jiuge.

An Chen is the same in some of his obsessions.

Upon hearing An Chen's promise, Jiu Ge's expression relaxed.

She flashed an adorable smile and continued eating her breakfast.

“However…” An Chen’s tone was somewhat regretful.

“However?…” Jiuge swallowed, her expression becoming alert.

"If Zhang Zhidong brings the spirit over himself, I can't guarantee anything," An Chen said with a smile, uttering something quite alarming.

Jiuge stopped using her chopsticks, and her eyes quickly became misty.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhidong indeed arrived with Mao Maotou.

"Hahahaha! Not bad! Good afternoon! Long time no see!"

He nodded with a sigh as he watched the two of them sitting together on the sofa watching the news.

They made up so quickly; this young couple has such a good relationship.

Jiuge's eyes flashed with fear for a moment, but after confirming that there was only one little one beside her, her expression returned to indifference, and she ignored them.

“We just met yesterday,” An Chen calmly retorted.

“That means we haven’t seen each other for most of the day,” Zhang Zhidong said in a deep voice.

Jiuge pricked up her ears, secretly rolled her eyes at Zhang Zhidong, and then looked at An Chen with a pitiful expression.

I had a feeling that Zhang Zhidong was planning to make a lot of visits to my home.

An Chen felt Jiu Ge's gaze and tried hard to suppress his laughter.

"Is there something you two have to do?" he asked, pretending not to know anything.

"No! Zhang Susu needs to talk to you!" Mao Maotou said emphatically.

"That's right! Didn't I already correct it for you yesterday?" Zhang Zhidong said in a loud voice, giving Mao Maotou's head a hard slap.

The chubby boy, who had been hit, clutched his head, his eyes filled with tears.

She wanted to cry, but dared not, afraid that Zhang Susu would hit her on the head again.

"What is it?" An Chen asked, holding up the milk candy next to him and placing it on Jiu Ge's fair thigh as a gesture of comfort.

"After careful consideration, we have made a decision. We hope that you can help us in your spare time, in addition to doing tasks and completing your studies." Zhang Zhidong crossed his arms, looking imposing.

"reject."

Before An Chen could answer, Jiu Ge tucked her hair behind her ear, took a deep breath, and spoke first.

As she spoke, she gave Zhang Zhidong a cold look.

Zhang Zhidong suddenly felt a chill run through his body...

"Hahahaha! Not bad! But I hope Ms. Jiuge will also listen to what I have to say!" Zhang Zhidong laughed shamelessly, seemingly with no intention of changing his mind.

"I won't listen!" Jiuge lowered her head and stroked the cat's head, then glanced sideways at Zhang Zhidong.

"Ms. Jiuge! What was your original intention in joining the association and insisting on purifying evil spirits despite your cowardly nature?" Zhang Zhidong asked with a serious expression.

Chapter 41 Their fingers were hooked together

Upon hearing Zhang Zhidong's question, Jiuge glared fiercely at An Chen.

"Did you tell him that I was in the association and that I could purify spirits?"

She reached out and pinched An Chen's thigh hard.

They even called her a coward, which made Jiuge feel insulted.

An Chen hissed.

He glanced at his thigh and noticed that the spot where he had been pinched had turned purple.

"For the sake of world stability." Jiuge squinted at Zhang Zhidong, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

Zhang Zhidong said in a resounding voice, "I'm doing this for the sake of world stability."

Judging from Jiuge's refusal, she must already know what he is doing.

"..."

Jiuge opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute it.

An Chen found it amusing and secretly glanced at Jiu Ge.

Jiuge's reaction is always quite amusing whenever something like this happens.

“Everything we do is a silent contribution to humanity! Only when the world becomes better will there be fewer pitiful spirits left in the world! Only when the spirits get better and better and are reincarnated more and more, will the world become better and better!” Zhang Zhidong began to try crazy nesting dolls.

"Only by helping spirits reincarnate smoothly, letting go of their obsessions, and preventing them from becoming evil spirits or ultimately being scattered and destroyed will there be fewer and fewer spirits!"

"It's so delicious!" The little boy even clapped his hands as he listened.

Although he didn't understand much, he always felt that it was very impressive.

"lb!"

Mao Maotou got punched again by Zhang Zhidong.

That makes sense.

Jiuge fell into deep thought.

That seems to make sense.

“Indeed.” An Chen nodded in agreement.

"Since Lady Jiuge can overcome her own psychological barriers for the sake of world stability, then surely you can also grit your teeth and overcome your own barriers for the sake of the stability of the spirit world and humanity!"

Zhang Zhidong still remembers Jiu Ge's dedication to studying in the sweltering classroom, to the point that she ignored him.

Even now, thinking back on it, he still feels very moved.

"..."

Jiuge fell silent.

She was convinced, but her fear of spirits still made it somewhat difficult for her to accept.

"If we share the same goal, then Ms. Jiuge will eventually have to find a way to overcome her own psychological barriers, otherwise the heavy responsibilities we bear in the future will inevitably be hindered."

As Zhang Zhidong spoke, he floated higher and higher until he reached the ceiling, emitting even more intense heat and golden light from his entire body.

One Lingding has twenty toilet heaters.

"..."

An Chen had a strong urge to beat Zhang Zhidong up.

Despite wearing so little clothing, he was still sweating from the heat.

"I understand."

Jiuge stood up with her arms crossed, seemingly unaffected by the excessively high temperature.

She tossed her hair and then nodded emphatically.

“I can accept your statement.”

"Excellent! Then I'll have to ask Ms. Jiuge for help in the future. The Spirit Realm needs you." Zhang Zhidong said in a resounding voice, a satisfied expression on his face.

"Fine." Jiuge snorted coldly, her expression full of confidence.

"Alright! Then the little one and I will take our leave!"

After saying that, Zhang Zhidong fell off the ceiling, grabbed Mao Maotou, and floated away.

……

About ten minutes later, Jiu Ge, having calmed down, seemed to realize something, and her expression became somewhat resigned.
