Three people entered the house, and Yan Junze still habitually closed the living room door.
Seeing him changing shoes, Xiang Er and Ku Zai followed suit.
Yan Daguo set aside the broom and brought each of them a pair of thick slippers.
The couple sized up the man and woman Yan Junze had brought back. The woman, needless to say, was incredibly attractive and had a perfectly proportioned figure, which made Li Man's eyes light up with admiration.
And the guy, well, no need to say, was skinny as a rake, looking no different from a starving ghost.
The contrast between the two was so great that the old couple couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
Yan Junze put down his luggage and parcels, and said, "Dad, Mom, didn't I tell you over the phone? They aren't my classmates, they're friends. This is Xiang Er, a very skilled exorcism master, and this is Ku Zai..."
Yan Daguo's eyes lit up. Generally, those who looked unimpressive, even a bit sleazy, were often the hidden talents. He blurted out, "He's an exorcism master too?"
"No, he's the Spirit Summoning King." Yan Junze chuckled.
While he ant it as a joke now that they were ho and all family, Ku Zai viewed Yan Junze's pettiness in a whole new light, feeling like he was walking on thin ice.
After sitting down, Yan Junze moved Xiang Er and Ku Zai's belongings to the bedroom. Ku Zai hurriedly stepped forward to do it himself, not wanting to trouble Yan Junze, but his movents were too abrupt, and he imdiately started huffing and puffing, his face turning bright red.
Yan Daguo and Li Man exchanged a worried glance and eyed Ku Zai's skinny fra, silently wondering if the young man had so illness, but it wasn't appropriate to say anything outright.
Thanks to Huahua's dedicated ntoring over the past few months, Xiang Er had made rapid progress in cooking and soon volunteered to help Li Man in the kitchen after sitting down for a while.
Li Man was delighted, and as she watched Xiang Er, her eyes took on the look of soone appraising a daughter-in-law.
After finishing cleaning, Yan Daguo sat down and chatted with Ku Zai for a bit. He heard that Ku Zai's father ran an old hotpot restaurant in Tianng City, but then glanced at Ku Zai's physique and guessed that the hotpot business couldn't be doing well.
Yan Junze went to his own bedroom to tidy up so old things. His mother had already changed the bedding on the bed to new ones, but it seed that there wouldn't be enough bedding now.
Soon Yan Daguo followed him into the bedroom, speaking with concern, "Son, your friend probably needs to visit the hospital. I talked to him a bit, and if he speaks a little faster, he starts gasping for breath. I feel like he could pass out any mont. Just talking for that little while made the whole process anxiety-inducing. It's too thrilling, and your old man can't handle it at this age."
Yan Junze laughed heartily, "It's okay, he's just frail, nothing seriously wrong, and he's currently recovering."
"Then why doesn't he recover at ho? Why co all the way from Tianng City to our place?" Yan Daguo asked, his face full of question marks.
"He can't be far from Xiang Er." Yan Junze answered briefly and then proceeded to take the trash he had sorted out to dispose of outside.
Yan Daguo beca even more puzzled and followed him outside, "You an, are they a couple?"
"No," Yan Junze shook his head, "Dad, don't overthink it."
Yan Daguo scratched his head, "Then what's up with this girl Xiang Er?"
Yan Junze paused for a mont, rembering the Lantern Woman, and explained, "Let's just say, I need her."
After speaking, he walked back into the house and sat down on the living room sofa, staying together with Ku Zai.
Yan Daguo stood in the corridor outside, muttering to himself, "This relationship is complicated indeed."
Yan Junze sat down and not long after, Ku Zai noticed he was continually staring. Recollecting Yan Junze's "pettiness," he started feeling uncomfortable, as if hundreds of ants were crawling all over him.
"What on earth is going on?" Yan Junze murmured to himself.
Ku Zai thought he was talking to him and asked, "Brother Yan, what are you talking about?"
Yan Junze shook his head without saying anything.
At that mont, in his mind, three ssages of task completion had appeared, and all were pointing to the sa task.
[Special Attraction, Anxiety-Inducing (High), Completed, Reward: 500 Different Dinsion Energy Points]
[Special Attraction, Trembling with Fear (Low), Completed, Reward: 700 Different Dinsion Energy Points]
[Special Attraction, Trembling with Fear (High), Completed, Reward: 1000 Different Dinsion Energy Points]
These three ssages had started popping up since Yan Junze entered the house, not all at once, but at intervals of a few minutes.
After so thought, regarding the sa task involving Ku Zai, there could be two possibilities for the different completion ssages.
One was that the strangenesses from the few houses where Ku Zai delivered als had been resolved because the tasks were completed, leading to multiple completion prompts and repetitive energy reward calculations for the sa task.
The other possibility had to do with the strangenesses that clung to Ku Zai. Once these strangenesses could no longer approach him, they might give up on him.
For each one that gave up, a task completion ssage would pop up; if that were the case, there were originally eight strangenesses with Ku Zai, aning if all eight gave up, there would be eight task completion ssages.
With three already popped up, there might still be more to co.
Of course, both scenarios might be possible, which ans the upcoming ssages could exceed the remaining five.
