The Ghost Market Encounter (2)

abyss, where it is neither born nor destroyed."I shuddered and said, “I fell down just now too—”"Well, I heard your words. But... when you're thinking in your heart about being free from attachments,...“You two siblings have gotten into it with the Mu family But Xiao Qiao already has a husband, and Fan Ge is a bachelor. Why don't you consider being his fling As far as I know, Fan Ge is still very generous to women, giving money and gifts generously—of course, under the condition that there's no emotional involvement... But you're so wealthy, what can Fan Ge offer you to offset the emotional entanglement”

Song Wei was perceptive; she was a wise person.

My brother keeps spouting his "twisted logic" all day because when it comes to casual encounters, he doesn't feel any emotional baggage. He's free and easy, laughing and cursing, and he dislikes being burdened with anything else.

Miss Lin lacked nothing. She had a father who controlled the fate of the nation and a brother who was cunning and powerful, able to turn his hand to anything. She didn't even know what else she could possibly strive for in life.

Miss Lin pouted and said, "… A *friend with benefits* He'd have to at least glance my way first."

When she said that, her tone was awkward. Could it be that she couldn't accept these two words

And she's really into paranormal stuff, almost obsessed, acting like a typical middle school girl. Life must be pretty boring for her.

"Who are you You seem to be very close with Mu Xia Qiao" Miss Lin looked at Song Wei, somewhat displeased by how intimate she was with me.

"Who am I! I'm Qiao's best friend!" Song Wei shouted angrily.

"Isn't it great to have such a good friend I'm her best friend too."

"I'm her bestie! You know, the kind who would buy her sexy lingerie!"

"Humph, I've seen her chest too. What's so amazing about it..."

I stared at them speechless, weakly reminding, "Song Wei, his brother is your male god's boss..."

Song Wei immediately shut her mouth and then said in a huff, "Xiao Qiao, you don't know what that man is like at all! He's so cold! I spent the whole day waiting for his reply, even falling asleep with my phone in hand, and he only replied with 'um'. I almost died of anger!"

I smiled: "Men like that are usually not bad. You should work hard, and once you tame him, he'll be your exclusive male god."

Miss Lin sat beside us, listening to my conversation with Song Wei. Song Wei kept complaining non-stop.

I feel a little awkward, like I've been neglecting Miss Lin.

But she didn't interrupt, just sat there listening to us chat. An hour later, Song Wei felt a little embarrassed: "You're not bored Not saying a word"

"I don't have much of a story to tell, and if I talk too much, I might say something wrong. My brother told me not to talk too much." She pouted.

She's really living a dull life... She has so much money, but because of the political needs of her family, she doesn't dare to flaunt her wealth and can't even go out to work.

Because she has such a naive and idealistic personality, if she went out to work, she would easily be tricked and targeted, putting her father in danger. That's why Lin Yanhuan doesn't let her experience life outside.

As I was lamenting to myself, my brother suddenly pushed open my bedroom door and said, "Little Qiao, tonight we—"

He saw someone was still in the room, he froze for a moment. He was shirtless, probably just finished taking a cool shower, his hair was still dripping with water, revealing a lean and muscular upper body. He was only wearing a pair of loose shorts, and they were midriff-bearing! You could faintly see that part slightly pushing up the fabric.

This kind of thing, I'm used to it. Even if he runs past me in just his underwear, I wouldn't bat an eye.

Even when asking me to make late-night snacks, he could still reach in and scratch around, looking utterly despondent.

Song Wei immediately covered her face and said, "Oh my gosh, Fan Ge, please don't rape my eyes! You're too charming, I'll forget to resist!!"

"Damn it! How the hell did you know I was here!" My brother immediately ran back to his room upstairs and put on a T-shirt.

When he came back, as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Lin Yanqin with a dazed expression, with a few drops of blood under her nose. Song Wei exclaimed, "Hey! You're not being serious, are you You have a nosebleed!"

We frantically handed her tissues. Ms. Lin's clothes were covered in blood. My God, would her bodyguard rush over and point a gun at us

My brother's face was pale, and his lips twitched. "For crying out loud, please don't bleed in my house! I don't want to be surrounded by black suits and have my shop shut down."

"Who told you not to wear clothes!" Miss Lin angrily said, "Running into a lady's room with only your upper body exposed! And not even knocking on the door!"

"...What's it to you if I'm naked at home You get a nosebleed just from seeing my upper body, how do you even *love* Menstruation You're in your twenties! What are you pretending for" My brother yelled.

This attitude wouldn't just hurt someone like Lin Yanqin, a delicate young lady. It would be devastating even to someone like Song Wei, a mecha war god.

Lin Yanqin's face flushed and paled alternately, she used a tissue to cover her nose, said goodbye to me and hurried downstairs.

"Brother…" I walked up to him helplessly and whispered, "Don't be so fierce She sat here for an hour and couldn't say two sentences. You scared her away as soon as you came… Look at the face of Buddha, even if not the monk. Her brother helped me a lot."

"Alright, alright, I won't scold her next time. Can we just pretend she's invisible Let's clean up... We need to restock tonight." He couldn't be too explicit in front of Song Wei.

It's been a while since I last went to the Ghost Market. Our talismans are running out slower now, but my dad told us we can't just buy more talismans. There are many useful magic tools and artifacts that we should also purchase for emergencies.

The entrance to Xishi was too gloomy and far away. My brother still brought me to the stagnant pond behind the cemetery.

Just as he was about to burn the paper money, a gust of wind suddenly picked up, blowing out the lighter in his hand.

"Huh What does this mean" he ignited with confusion once more.

A gust of wind blew out the lighter.

"What's wrong You think one dollar lighter isn't high-class enough for you I gotta go buy a limited edition ZIPPO to burn paper money" My brother looked around in confusion.

There was some burnt ash from paper money on the ground, clearly someone had been here. But how did the Earth God blow out our fire

My brother thought for a moment, reached behind the big willow tree and touched it. It was already open!

"Heh heh, I guess the Land God has received your husband's orders. He doesn't even dare to ask for tolls from you." My brother smiled and led me into Dongshi.

Our signature look, large sunglasses and white masks, has always been a breath of fresh air on the black market. There are so many people here today!

My brother wrote on my hand, "It should be close to the Dragon Boat Festival and the Ghost Festival."

These two important days' trading volumes are definitely going to be large. We will soon have enough of what we need. As we passed by the shop again, with its signpost of a huge, black log, my brother gave me a look to go in.

I'm so embarrassed, are you serious, bro You really want to bring me here to buy condoms

As soon as we walked into the shop, my brother said to the hunchbacked old woman, "Do you have anything for elderly people"

I let out a breath of relief, so it was for grandpa to buy...

At this age, grandpa's love is just a continuation of warmth. As for the quality... well, you can't expect too much.

To my surprise, the old woman still remembered me. She asked relentlessly, "Girl, you didn't buy it last time. Have you measured how big your husband got this time"

I……been hanging around a derelict amusement park in the western suburbs recently. They claim they want to buy the land for a project, going there to investigate, but actually… she used to smuggle people...
