Cyber Ghosts

“Hey, it’s just Falling Treasure Coin. Is that serious?” Hao Ning pretended to take it easy and shook his neck with a sound of “cackle” coming from it.

When Liu Shuai heard Zhou Yuan’s analysis, he also understood how Zhou Yuan thought about it. He retorted Hao Ning, “You look down on yourself. If Mr. Fei’s Soul Coin Engine allows ordinary people to use the weapon, the Falling Treasure Coin will be the terminator of all weapons. No matter what weapon the other party use, it will be invalid when confronted with Falling Treasure Coin. In this way, from Mr. Fei’s view, whether it’s for the sake of enhancing the strength…”

“Or for the sake of self-protection. He will not let you fall into other people’s hands,” Zhou Yuan nodded and looked at Hao Ning thoughtfully. “So, it’s best if you are willing to cooperate with them. If you are not willing to cooperate with them…”

“They will destroy me?” Hao Ning stared and swallowed his saliva. In his heart, he had admitted that Zhou Yuan’s words were reasonable. “That’s not possible, right?”

“The precious stone lands its innocent possessor in jail.” Zhou Yuan sighed. “I hope that we are judging his mind by your own vile one. But we have to be careful. As for the second point…”

“There is a second point?” Hao Ning couldn’t help asking. He didn’t realize that the two men had considered so much for him.

“The second point is what I was worried about at the beginning,” Liu Shuai nodded. “The last time you used Falling Treasure Coin, you had such a big accident and went unconscious. What if something happened again this time?”

“That’s the case,” Hao Ning recalled that because Falling Treasure Coin had Divine Power of the North, Hao Ning attracted so much magic power from it for no reason that he had an accident. When he thought of it, he was moved for a while. Both of them had not mentioned Falling Treasure Coin in order to protect him.

This Liu Shuai, with so much concern for his friends in his heart, did not say even a word and pretended to be silly. Hao Ning couldn’t help laughing and laughing. Suddenly, he thought of something and his face became solidified.

Apparently, Zhou Yuan did not find these details. And probably today, he was addicted to using power. He said “farewell” and disappeared in a flash. Only Hao Ning and Liu Shuai, two people without power, stared at each other.

Seeing that Zhou Yuan left, Hao Ning did not hide it. He looked at Liu Shuai with a smile and said, “I said how did you change your temper today?”

“Change my temper?” Liu Shuai did not react. Looking at the direction that Zhou Yuan left, he missed the time when he had power. “What temper did I change?”

“Before someone seemed to swear that the things whose souls were stolen had nothing to do with him,” looking at that Liu Shuai refused to admit it, Hao Ning deliberately reminded him, “did he say that he would not care about these f**king things? And argue until he is blue in his face? How come today, when Nezha said the same thing, this person was awe-inspiring? The lesson he taught Nezha was nothing less than that Zhang Quan taught him…”

“Well, it’s different,” Liu Shuai blushed, thinking that his expression could not be caught by Hao Ning in the dim light. He straightened his neck and said, “I didn’t expect that the people close to me would be involved because of this. Think about that now Long Fei is like this, and Zhe may be in danger too. If we don’t act, won’t it be a big problem?”

“People close to you? Are you talking about relatives? For example, Zhang Quan?” Hao Ning did not listen to Liu Shuai’s bullshit and said the key point, “It is because during the day Long Fei told you that Zhang Quan did not abandon you that you were worried about his safety and wanted to investigate the matter, right?”

“You…” Liu Shuai’s eyes flashed and he admitted, “Whether he is a relative or not, he did those things for me…”

“He can do those things for you because of both his personality and the karma.” Hao Ning sighed and thought that he seemed to have the right guess. Considering Liu Shuai’s abnormality today, combined with Liu Shuai’s reluctance to express his inner thoughts just now, Hao Ning guessed, “You probably understand that he doesn’t admit you because of his own difficulties. But as a friend, I want to remind you that we are now limited in ability, so do not push yourself.”

Liu Shuai looked at Hao Ning’s eyes and wanted to say something. He hesitated for a moment and just nodded.

“Of course, when necessary, I will certainly help you,” Hao Ning patted Liu Shuai on the shoulder, “but we have to know how much power we have.”

“Come on. I see.” Liu Shuai wiped his face and said with a smile, “You are humming about, just like a woman. I’m leaving!”

It was almost 11 o’clock when he got home. Hao Ning took a bath and looked at the weapons on the dining table.

“Look at yourselves,” Hao Ning was talking both to himself and to the weapons with disdain. “Every one of you looks bright and powerful. How can you not make money? Speaking of those immortals, they can make so many weapons to save people and to kill people. How can there be no weapon to make money?”

Speaking of this, Hao Ning laughed. Wasn’t that nonsense? They were all immortals. What did they want money for? He had never heard that Taiyi Immortal had nothing to do but go to his vault and see how much silver there was. What a shame!

“I used to think that money was very important, but I didn’t expect it to be so important,” Hao Ning muttered, and couldn’t help shouting, “Oh my God, who can raise a lot of money for me?”

“It is just money. Ask me!” Suddenly a voice came out of the living room.

“Who!” In the night, a voice suddenly came out of his house. Hao Ning’s body hair was trying to do handstands. As soon as he thought about it, he activated the Soul Cutter. At once, two small swords were flying over his head. After today’s hard struggle, Hao Ning’s familiarity with the Soul Cutter was much better than before. At once, the two small swords changed between Yin and Yang for seven or eight times in the air, protecting Hao Ning.

“Mom!” The voice seemed to feel the two small swords, and after a loud cry, there was no sound.

“Eh? Eh?” Hao Ning was stunned and looked up at the two small swords. He was frightened. During this period, it changed between yin and yang too quickly. The two small swords even started to glow blue. It seemed like ghost fire at midnight, wandering around him. Thinking about it, he probably looked like a ghost from a distance. He hurried to say “oh, I’m a human. Don’t be afraid. You say you have money, don’t you?”

Hao Ning didn’t shout out for no reason. Who could make a noise in the evening must be a thief, a robber, or probably a monk? The monk, who could also say that, should have a great amount of money. Hao Ning thought that such a person should need weapons and other things. He could sell these weapons on the table at will and get some money.

“Big brother? Do you mean that you have money?”

“Big brother? Don’t go away. Where are you? What about the money?”

“Big Brother‒Big Brother, Big Brother, how are you?” Hao Ning almost sang out, “Big Brother, Big Brother‒Big Brother, where is the money you said?”

Who knows, after that, the voice never came back? Hao Ning shouted a few times and regretted a lot, slapping his face hard and scolding himself for “bad mouth” and frightening the business in hand. In such self-complaining, he lay on the sofa and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he didn’t know what he had experienced last night was real or a dream. When he got to the company, he saw Xiao Hong was with Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai. These three people were standing at a table, eating breakfast and discussing something in a low voice. Especially Xiao Hong, because he was too tall, he had to bend down and pout his buttock slightly to talk to Liu Shuai.

It was nothing in itself. But with red lips and white teeth, full of masculine, Xiao Hong, the Innate Fire Spirit, was enough to entice the whole company’s women to go crazy. So, all female colleagues passing by couldn’t help looking at Xiao Hong’s “buttocks up” there. And the most interesting part was that as long as each female colleague walked near Xiao Hong, they deliberately slowed down to look more and wiped saliva after seeing so. Lele secretly told Hao Ning that Sister Li in the Finance Department had been coming back and forth 18 times with the excuses of drinking water and going to the toilet.

“Eighteen times?” Hao Ning couldn’t help laughing. He sighed in his heart that Xiao Hong was a real handsome disaster. On the contrary, he said, “Eighteen times are not so many. Life lies in sports. Sister Li always stays in the finance room all day and running back and forth is good for her.”

“Good for what?” Lele laughed as she typed and peered at the buttocks. “You know? Xiao Hong stood there just for five minutes. Sister Li’s was running back and forth for eighteen times in these five minutes. If this goes on, the girls in our company won’t be able to survive until the afternoon.”

“Five minutes? Eighteen times!” Hao Ning was laughing to death, but he didn’t quite understand why Lele said so, “Why can’t, in this case, the girls in our company survive?”

“In order to see the buttocks, they would break their legs in running back and forth,” Lele pouted her mouth, amused herself, and hurriedly urged, “Oh, you don’t have to care so much. Just advise Xiao Hong to hide his sensitive parts.”

After that, he could not help but push Hao Ning forward.

What sensitive parts were there? Hao Ning was laughing in his heart that Xiao Hong was wearing pants. These people with dirty minds inside regarded other people’s normal parts as sensitive parts.

With that, Hao Ning still stepped forward. But it was embarrassing to tell Xiao Hong not to put his buttocks on, whether as a friend or as a colleague. It was a strange formal reminder to everyone.

Looking back, Lele was still urging him. Hao Ning scratched his head and thought for a while before he came up with an idea. He deliberately greeted them in a mean way and said, “Hey, you guys are eating without me!” With a joke, Xiao Hong hit Xiao Hong on the buttock with a “bang”, which was loud enough to be heard and seen by Sister Li, who passed by for the nineteenth time.

Who was Xiao Hong? Except for Avalokitesvara, who else did beat him? Hao Ning’s beat was heavy and loud. Xiao Hong could not help crying out “ah”. This voice was loud first and then went small. At last, Xiao Hong realized that he could not shout in the company. He put his voice back into his trachea fiercely. Xiao Hong sounded like he was holding back the pain, but from Sister Li’s view, it was a delicate voice!

“Plop!” With a loud sound, Sister Li fell on the ground directly because of excitement. Liu Shuai and these guys turned around and saw Sister Li blushing as if she had been about to shed nosebleeds. She smiled at some people with embarrassment and ran to the toilet with her nose covered.

“What’s wrong with her?” Zhou Yuan didn’t have time to react and asked.

“It’s all right. She ate too much Thousand-Year Ginseng.” Hao Ning happily looked back at Sister Li. “Her nose may be going to bleed for a whole day.”

“I… I’m going to the bathroom.” Xiao Hong blushed for some reason. He watched Hao Ning without speaking and ran to the bathroom.

“What’s wrong with him?” Hao Ning saw that Xiao Hong acting so weird, “If he is not feeling well, why did he talk to you for so long?”

“I think you should care about your troubles first.” Liu Shuai choked with laughter.

“What’s wrong with me?” Hao Ning wondered if Liu Shuai also knew about the strange things happened in his living room last night. Should not it be? He planned to come and discuss it with you today, but it wasn’t said yet. How could they possibly know?

“It’s said that…” Liu Shuai was preparing to say. Who knew that he looked around again, seeing nobody paying attention to them, and whispered, “I just heard from others. If I’m wrong, you won’t blame me.”

“Oh, I see,” Hao Ning looked at Liu Shuai somehow angrily, and this young man learned to keep people guessing. “Speak quickly. Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Do you know that Xiao Hong’s parents, Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan?” Liu Shuai whispered with gossip on his face. “How did they get together?”

“No, but I do know how they separated,” Hao Ning said with a smile. “It is said that there was the other girl named Jade Faced Fox…”

“Don’t talk about these useless things,” Liu Shuai continued when he saw that Hao Ning was still not serious. “I’ll tell you. If something bad happens afterward, don’t say that I didn’t remind you.”

“What bad things?” Only then did Hao Ning gradually become serious.

“It is said that both the Jade Faced Fox and the Princess Iron Fan both did the same thing to the Bull Demon King before they got the heart of him.” Liu Shuai’s face was mysterious, and Zhou Yuan was stunned as a listener. “That’s why the Bull Demon King loved the two ladies so much.”

“What’s the matter?” Though with a serious expression on his face, Hao Ning was amused by Liu Shuai’s solemn expression of gossip in the heart.

“They all patted the buttocks of the Bull!” After Liu Shuai finished speaking, he looked at Hao Ning with a strange expression and laughed.

Zhou Yuan understood and looked at Hao Ning with a grinning face.

“Ha ha ha ha, that’s the story! Interesting!” Hao Ning also couldn’t help laughing, and he laughed for a while before he found out that Zhou Yuan was laughing with sympathy for him, which made him feel bad. He carefully recalled Liu Shuai’s words and then thought of Xiao Hong’s strange and shy blush after he had just patted Xiao Hong’s buttock. He trembled, “No, is this hereditary?”

“It’s not heredity,” Liu Shuai said with a smile. “It may be the custom of the family. Maybe this custom is like a betrothal gift in their family. In other words, after all this time, have you heard of anyone who beat the butt of Hong Hai’er? Even when Zhang Chi Hang took over Hong Hai’er, he only whipped his body. Who beat his butt? So, there is such a rumor saying that never pat the Bull’s butt. A pat is for a lifetime! Ha-ha-ha.”

“Damn!” Hao Ning realized that Xiao Hong’s blushing face just now was not painful but bashful. Why did you act shily? Lele asked me to do it!

“Do you think we should sympathize with you or congratulate you?” Zhou Yuan just looked at Hao Ning with a sneer on his face. He was not gloating over Hao Ning’s misfortune, but happy about that Xiao Hong would not compete with him for women’s resources in the company at last.

“I… I, I,” Hao Ning blushed anxiously. “I’m innocent. Lele just asked me to put Xiao Hong’s ass…”

“So Lele is your matchmaker?” Liu Shuai bent down in laughter. “Should we call you Mrs. Hong or call Xiao Hong Mrs. Hao? We have to sort out the relationship between you two. Ha ha ha ha…”

“Get out of here!” Hao Ning choked Liu Shuai’s neck. “I’m a straight man. I only like women!”

“It’s all trivial things. Immortals are not divided into male and female.” Zhou Yuan was so happy to see Hao Ning’s nervous face and quoted the classic saying, “Is Avalokitesvara changing between men or women to save people? It’s not difficult for his disciples to change gender to save you. If you want, let Xiao Hong become a woman.”

“…Stop it!” Hao Ning pointed his little finger at Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan knew that it was the start of the “six-pulse excalibur”. He was so frightened that he quickly held back his expression and turned his serious face to Liu Shuai. He said, “Hey, Liu Shuai, don’t joke. What you said is just a rumor. Hao Ning is a straight man of iron and steel and won’t be tempted by the beauty of Xiao Hong.”

“Well, that’s better!” Hao Ning satisfactorily looked at that Zhou Yuan said words against his own will because of his “lewd authority”, but he always felt that Zhou Yuan’s words were strange.

“That is to say you admit that Xiao Hong is a beauty,” Liu Shuai wondered why he became so fierce when he made fun of Hao Ning. “But you are not tempted by his beauty for the time being?”

“Get out of here!” Hao Ning was angry, and then his eyes turned. He pointed two fingers to Liu Shuai’s waist. Then he smiled charmingly at Liu Shuai and pinched his throat and said, “You’re the one I like, handsome brother. Look at yourself. You are so bad. You can’t even wear your pants when you see me.”

With a sound “blah”, Liu Shuai’s belt buckle fell to the ground, and pants went loose and were about to fall to the ground.

Liu Shuai was quick-handed and hurried to hold up his pants. The smile on his face disappeared. He looked at Hao Ning embarrassingly. “Brother, I was just joking. How could you take off my pants with wuxiang-zhi?”

“It’s the six-pulse Excalibur. Because you were acting too mean!” Hao Ning revenged himself and added, “even meaner than me!”

Zhou Yuan grinned bitterly and said, “You really know yourself well…”

Liu Shuai was holding his pants and wanted to argue with him. And behind him came Xiao Hong’s voice, “Your belt buckled went off,” and said Xiao Hong picked up the belt buckle, with his hands gently exerting. The edge of the broken button seemed to be bonded with the original position in heat. Liu Shuai took the belt buckle and was burned slightly. He put it on the belt quickly and got it ready again.

“Brother Hao Ning,” Xiao Hong took a breath and looked at the table unnaturally. He didn’t look at Hao Ning, but said seriously, “I think I’m still young. I don’t want to think too much about personal issues for now. Let’s go on discussing how to get enough money to save Long Fei.”

“Well, I totally agree!” Hao Ning nodded, and after answering, the more he thought about it, the weirder it was. So, he turned to Xiao Hong and said, “Hey, I said, if you don’t consider your personal issues, what will it matter to me? Why did you explain it to me? You, you, you don’t really feel something special in me…”

“Oh, Brother Hao Ning, you don’t need to say it,” Xiao Hong resolutely looked at Hao Ning, with both hands grasping Hao Ning’s shoulder, and said gently, “I promise you, after the matter of Long Fei is resolved, I will give you a satisfactory answer!”

“What the f**king answer!” Hao Ning was totally mad. What was going on?

With this, Hao Ning suddenly felt that Xiao Hong was grabbing his shoulder was weird. He was about to break away. Xiao Hong looked at Xiao Hong earnestly and said gently, “Trust me!”

“Plop!” Sister Li just washed her face and came to “drink water” again. She saw this scene and fell to the ground for the twentieth time and never got up again.
