Seeing Xili stand up, Zhiyao lost his composure after being unsure whether she was serious or not.
"Hey, hey, hey, how about just forget it and talk about it next time?"
"Why be so humble? I've already promised to help you." Wuming insisted.
It's just a smile that sounds a bit malicious.
"Mainly because I think you're not suitable."
"why?"
"Because..." Zhiyao paused, the corner of his mouth raised humorously, "cutting hair is a delicate job, not suitable for a rough guy like you."
After he finished speaking, surprise appeared on Wuming's face. Then, Wuming slightly widened his eyes, put on a wicked smile, and slowly moved his face closer to Zhiyao.
"What did you say?"
Zhiyao immediately took a step back and hid behind Xili, playing dumb: "Hey, did I say something?"
"Don't remember? It's okay, I'll help you restore your memory."
She means the physical form.
With a proud smile, Wuming began to move his fist joints and slowly approached. Seeing this, Zhiyao quickly shifted her gaze to the door, mentally planning to hide behind the low table first and then wait for an opportunity to escape outside.
As he was about to leave, he felt a pulling force on his arm. He looked closely and found that it was Xili who was holding his hand.
These two people actually joined forces.
While he was surprised, Wuming had already come to his side and grabbed the back of his collar. Later, he was given the service of massaging his temples and knocking on the head continuously.
As for the other people in the room, Kirie Shiragiku and the others were of course watching the fun with great interest.
"Let's see if you dare to be disrespectful again in the future." Wuming, satisfied with what she had gotten, let go of Zhiyao's hand. After that, she asked Zhiyao for a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and started a new topic, "Where is that female monster? Where did you hide her?"
Wuming said as he walked towards the closet, opened the door, and stuck his head in to take a look.
"Female monster?" Xili looked at Zhiyao in confusion.
"Shuiyun." Zhiyao smiled at her and replied to Wuming, "Shuiyun is not here. I left her somewhere else."
Over the next few minutes, Zhiyao told the two about Tamamo. After he finished speaking, Wuming sighed meaningfully.
"You, eh, you haven't lived in this world for very long, but you've encountered so many bizarre things one after another. You've even encountered monsters living in such secluded places. I really can't help but admire you."
"Who makes me the unique male lead?" Zhiyao answered shamelessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with unanimous suppression from Wuming and Xili.
Wuming: "Vincent."
Xili: "Thick-skinned."
Zhiyao was about to retort when she heard Wuming ask:
"Now that the matter of the female demon has been resolved, let's talk about another matter. Where are the spirit stones you brought back?"
"In the bag, what?"
"I want to confiscate it."
Hearing this, Zhiyao was stunned, and then shocked.
"Why!"
"Even in times of war, spirit stones are not contraband that can be circulated casually in the world, let alone now that we are in peacetime."
"Even so, I..."
"What are you talking about? You've already gotten yourself into trouble. You turned humans into monsters, so it's only fair that I confiscate the property."
In an instant, Zhiyao was speechless and unwilling. He looked at Xili for help.
Chapter 152: [I don’t like Hinasaki Fukaha]
However, Xili silently turned her eyes away, avoiding his pleading gaze.
It’s not that she is targeting Zhiyao intentionally. Usually, Xili will help to plead for her.
Although Zhiyao had made her unhappy not long ago, and although she knew nothing about the spirit stone except that it was an amber-colored stone, she didn't know any other information.
The real reason why he chose not to help was that he learned from Wuming that spirit stones were contraband.
Wuming has lived for hundreds of years, possessing a wealth of life experience almost unmatched by anyone in the world. He's also a police officer. In Xili's opinion, even the most outrageous words from such a person have a grain of truth to them. Furthermore, one of Zhiyao's guardian spirits, Yaobaji, was given by Wuming to protect her from the negative effects of being possessed by an evil spirit, which would shorten her lifespan. This suggests that she cares deeply for Zhiyao and is a truly wonderful person.
If that's the case, then her intention in proposing to confiscate the spirit stones couldn't be that bad.
In addition, she learned from her that Zhiyao had turned humans into monsters, which was a very big thing in Xili's view.
In short, Xili decided to listen to Wuming on this matter.
On the other hand, knowing that Xili could not be relied upon, Zhiyao quickly sought help from other people.
"Babai, please help me say a few words."
"Uh."
Perhaps she had expected this, Yaoboji was not very surprised, and walked leisurely to Zhiyao's side.
But after hesitating for a moment, what he said was...
"Sikong, do as Miss Wuming says. She will definitely not harm you."
"Yes, I think so too." Xili agreed.
Hearing this, Zhiyao looked at the two of them with resentment, and a helpless look appeared on his face.
"Hurry up and take it out." Wuming urged, "You saw it too, everyone else supports handing it over."
"It's not like everyone..." Suddenly, Zhiyao had an idea. "Why not be more democratic and decide by voting?"
His eyebrows immediately furrowed, and Wuming's gaze became stern. "Do you think I'm joking with you?"
This was the first time Zhiyao saw Wuming like this after knowing him for such a long time, and she suddenly felt a huge pressure coming at her.
But the more it is at a time like this, the more he cannot afford to lose in momentum, otherwise there will be no room for negotiation. So, Zhiyao mustered up the courage to look Wuming in the eye, quickly weaving words in his mind.
After a few seconds.
"Spirit Stone... I'll keep it for a use."
"what is the usage?"
"It's a long-cherished wish." Zhiyao pointed at the table.
Because she had not paid much attention to it before, it was not until this moment that Wuming noticed that the pages of the book were yellowed and looked different from ordinary books. She leaned over to take a look at the contents, and then looked at Zhiyao with surprise.
"Where did you get this?" she asked with great concern.
"Given by Yumomo," Zhiyao replied. "To be exact, I exchanged half a backpack of spirit stones for it. Although there's no direct method to fulfill your wish, at least there are many items that I think are useful. And making those items requires charging the materials with spirit stones."
Hearing this, Wuming stopped talking and stared at Zhiyao quietly. Over time, his eyes began to soften.
"You really didn't plan to exchange it for money?"
A playful expression and tone.
Zhiyao was speechless after hearing this. She rolled her eyes and replied unhappily, "I don't have such plans for now. I can consider it after my long-cherished wish is fulfilled."
"So I should be the one to keep it?" Wuming couldn't help laughing.
"Why?" Zhiyao replied with a look of disdain. "I went through so much trouble to get it, and I almost died at the hands of Ru Nu. Why do you pick it up ready-made?"
"Because I'm your boss." Wuming argued confidently.
After saying this, they both laughed at the same time, and then Wuming patted Zhiyao's shoulder vigorously.
"I'll give you one chance. Just as you said, let's decide by voting."
“Why do we still need to vote?”
"You said it yourself. So, you don't want to? That's fine. I'll keep the spirit stones."
"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't say I wouldn't vote. I just had to agree that no matter what the result is, I'll accept the outcome."
"Haha, of course."
Thirty seconds later, the votes came out, with the score being two to two.
Zhiyao's votes came from Wuhui and Baiju. They are his wives, so of course they will support him unconditionally.
On Wuming's side, the tickets were the same as before, coming from Yuri and Yaobohime.
The situation was temporarily unclear. Zhiyao noticed that there were still people who had not participated. He quickly shifted his gaze over there and gave them a signal with his eyes. However, the response he got was that Jiuwei yawned in front of him and lay on the ground with an uninterested look.
In addition, the thin ice butterflies also stopped moving.
Zhiyao: "Looks like the only way to decide the winner is by rock-paper-scissors between the two of us."
Wuming: "I don't care."
With two wins in three games, Zhiyao finally won the game with the favor of the goddess of luck.
"Hehe, thank you for letting me." Having saved the spirit stone, Zhiyao smiled refreshed.
"I know. I'll keep it with you." Wu Ming, willing to accept defeat, thought for a moment and then asked, "How are you going to keep it?"
"Go buy a safe tomorrow and keep it locked."
"Then you must keep it properly." Wu Ming said, raising his hand and punching Zhi Yao lightly in the chest. "If I find out that the things are circulating on the market one day, or if you get into trouble again, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
"No, no." With his back straight and a serious expression, Zhiyao made a firm promise.
At this point, the second thing came to an end. Rubbing his eyes sleepily, Wuming took out a card and handed it to Zhiyao.
Zhiyao took it and looked at it, and was instantly surprised and happy.
"Xili, look what this is." He handed over the card.
Xili took it and looked at it. Her expression was as bright as the moon appearing after the clouds had cleared. After repeatedly confirming with Wuming that it was a real and valid document, she quickly expressed her thanks and gratitude in the most sincere tone.
"It's a small matter. Remember to come to me if you need help in the future." Wuming smiled comfortably.
"What about me?" Zhiyao asked hurriedly.
Giving him a look of disdain, Wuming responded with disdain: "Figure it out yourself."
Turning around and waving his hand casually, Wuming started to walk outside. Zhiyao and Xili followed him decisively to see him off, and walked him all the way to the side of the road. They only returned after watching the motorcycle disappear in the distance.
inside the room.
"You can live independently now." Lying flat on the tatami and looking at the ceiling, Zhiyao occasionally glanced at Xili.
Across from the low table, Xili maintained her proper sitting posture, her gaze fixed on the name column and photo. "Well, I can start working tomorrow. From now on, I have to pay for my accommodation and food monthly. I can't just live here for free forever."
Zhiyao smiled and reminded him, "Remember to thank me."
"Thank you for what?" Xili looked over expressionlessly. "Wuming got the documents, not you."
Zhiyao could hardly believe her ears. She sat up suddenly, her eyes wide with surprise. "I helped make the connection, and you're already destroying the bridge right after you got it?"
Xili turned her face away calmly, but the corners of her mouth would occasionally turn upwards.
"That's right, you're not completely without any credit."
From the wording and the detail of the curved corner of his mouth, Zhiyao immediately realized that he was deliberately making trouble for her, so she changed her tone to complaining.
"But you didn't help me or stand by my side, even though we're neighbors."
"Spirit stones are contraband," Xili argued confidently. "Also, Wuming seems more reliable than you. I think it's safer to leave it with her."
Zhiyao simply chose to ignore the latter sentence.
As for the previous sentence...
"Can I take it that you care about me, huh?"
Xili still turned her face away and said nothing.
So Zhiyao walked around the coffee table and came to her side.
When Xili noticed Zhiyao coming and just turned her face towards him, her head was gently pressed down.
"Thank you for your concern, Xili-san."
