"What are you freaking out about, huh? I just wanna kiss her, so what?" I gently rubbed the little zombie demon's cheek, smiling playfully as I flicked my tongue teasingly, "Did you get the milk?"
"Bought it, drink it sparingly, I earned the money for that with my own part-time job." Yu Rongling pulled out a box from a carton of sweet milk and handed it to me, digging and fumbling around.
Indeed, snakes are the closest thing to dragons in this world, who knows how many treasures are hidden in the mansion but are stingy as hell.
I snatched the sweet milk, shoved in a straw, "I'll transfer the money to you later, double the amount."
"Thanks, sis-in-law." Yu Rongling said happily.
The little zombie demon's eyes turned red at the sight of the milk in my hands.
I was about to give it to her, but thinking better of it, I took it back,
"Tell me, how did you get in here?"
"I climbed in following... that mean woman who cursed at my mom." The little zombie demon was quite angry when she mentioned Han Dai.
She looked a bit fierce, but I found her cute and charming.
I took a casual sip of the milk, "Tsk~ this milk is really good."
"Auntie, I'm hungry." The little zombie demon was starving, and so, she learned to...
Act cute.
Yu Rongling started yelling like he'd discovered a new continent, "Mother clucker, what did I just hear? What did I see? The world's scariest monster who eats people without blinking an eye, the damn zombie demon, is actually acting cute!! Sister-in-law, what kind of twisted being are you to actually tame a zombie demon? It seems like taming my brother probably didn't even take one percent of your force."
"You're so loud." My head was hurting from his noise.
Yu Rongling stopped his hysterics and quieted down a bit.
But he started bouncing around the room.
I told the little zombie demon, "You have to tell the truth, answer me why you can enter this restaurant, and then you can have the milk."
This restaurant is protected by a talisman personally cast by Yu Longting, designed specifically to restrain demons and monsters.
There are few people in the world who could break such a spell, definitely not something this little zombie demon could do...
"Maybe it's because of this." The little zombie demon handed me a small bell.
I weighed it in my hand for a moment before giving it back to her, "So with this thing, whether there are door gods or shrine guardians, you can come and go as you please?"
That was why the little one could always follow Han Dai around.
"Yes." The little zombie demon nodded.
"Drink up, but slowly, don't choke." I handed the milk back to the little zombie demon along with the bell.
"I'm a monster, I won't choke." The little zombie demon took the milk eagerly, took a big gulp, then suddenly paused as if realizing something.
Then she looked at me, said thank you, and continued to gulp down the milk.
I smiled warmly, yeah, I was being silly.
Actually worried a little zombie demon might choke on milk.
Yu Rongling asked, "Why is this woman still lying on the ground?"
"If you want to help, you can lift her up." I opened another box of milk.
While the little zombie demon was focused on drinking her milk, I pinched her cheek.
The little zombie demon glared at me, her cheeks puffed up.
Then, she lowered her head and continued drinking milk.
If she hadn't died, with a mother as good as Bai Yinman, her life would surely be incredibly warm and happy now.
Sometimes life is just that cruel, all the beauty is just hypothetical, leaving behind nothing but the harsh reality.
Yu Rongling said sheepishly, "Still, I'd rather not, this woman has too much negative energy on her. If it rubs off on me, my luck will take a hit, and I'm not looking to jinx myself."
"Where is this place? My head feels so dizzy. Who are you? A fan secret? Or paparazzi?"
Suddenly, Han Dai woke up, and seeing the unfamiliar Yu Rongling, she went pale with fear.
Yu Rongling touched his own stunningly beautiful face, his sharp snake-like eyes fixed on Han Dai, "Do you have a problem with your eyes? Or has your taste escaped the solar system? Have you ever seen a fan secret as handsome as me? Could paparazzi look as good as this young master?"
