Seeing his wife's nervous expression, the man chuckled unashamedly.
If only Luo Tianyi knew, she might have left a row of small tooth marks on Ye Xuan's shoulder, or perhaps elsewhere.
But the ghost stories were far from over. The eerie voice continued, "When he finally regained his footing, he found himself standing on a desolate hillside. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked the woman. But the woman revealed her monstrous fangs and gave a sinister smile: 'Now, no one will compete with me...'"
Immersed in the atmosphere, Luo Tianyi felt a chill creep over her. This guy was courting death.
"Hoo~"
By the time Ye Xuan finished his ghost stories, Luo Tianyi was thoroughly shaken.
No one knew how realistic the immersive experience was. Only Luo Tianyi enjoyed this effect. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, she didn't know.
"How about this, buy two, get one free. Your husband will tell you another ghost story."
"Just a few days ago, an old man came to the village. He looked very haggard and dejected, but perhaps because no one knew him, no one paid him much attention. As a result, in the evening, the old man was found hanging himself in the woods!"
"And the spot where he hanged himself was right behind Xiao Jing's house, and you could see the old man clearly just by looking through the bathroom window..."
And so, midnight calls, kitchen hauntings, morgue secrets...
And so on.
One by one, ghost stories were recounted by the unscrupulous man, truly a devilishly wicked act. As for the peerless beauty curled up in his arms, she had countless urges to bite Ye Xuan to death.
Damn it!
How could this scoundrel treat her like this? Did he have no conscience? How could he be like this?
If she could, she would have lost control and choked the man holding her to death!
Moreover, this impulse was stronger than ever!!
"How was it?"
Ye Xuan playfully asked, looking at his nervous wife, "My ghost stories are quite good, aren't they?"
Luo Tianyi, "..."
"Hmph~"
As expected, Luo Tianyi snorted, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction in this manner. Good?
This scoundrel was trying to scare her to death, to harm their three unborn children, all for the sake of monopolizing them. Luo Tianyi thought to herself.
"Heh heh, your husband is in a good mood today."
"I'll tell you a few jokes."
Seeing his 'angry' wife, Ye Xuan didn't pay much mind. Thinking of the "Young Man Encounters" series of jokes, he continued, "There was once a young man who, facing confusion in the mortal world, went to a temple to seek enlightenment from a wise monk. He asked the monk, 'Master, I was already dark, and in the summer, I get even darker from the sun. Everyone laughs at me. What should I do?' The monk remained silent, and slowly opened the door, letting sunlight stream in. 'I understand, Master. Are you telling me to open my heart, not to care about what others think?'"
"The monk listened and quietly looked at the young man. 'No, I just want to see clearly who is talking to me from where?'"
"Pfft~"
Hearing the story's sudden twist, Luo Tianyi, completely unprepared, let out a suppressed laugh. "I just want to see clearly who is talking to me from where?"
Honestly, it wasn't that Luo Tianyi wanted to laugh, she just couldn't hold it in.
Who would have expected the story to develop like this? The young man was already ridiculed for being dark, and the monk, of all people, delivered a divine blow.
However, immediately after, her pretty face lost its smile, and she resumed her angry demeanor, snorting disdainfully, as if to say the story wasn't funny at all.
Ye Xuan was not surprised by this and continued the story, "Back in the mortal world, the young man soon encountered another problem and once again sought advice from the wise monk. 'I can never win the heart of the girl I like. What should I do?'"
"The monk opened his eyes and pointed to a snail struggling to crawl on a nearby tree trunk. The young man had an epiphany, 'Master, are you saying that as long as I persevere like this snail, I will eventually succeed?'"
"Hearing the young man's words, the monk picked up his wooden fish and smashed it, 'Persevere your ass! You need to have a decent house like it first!'"
"You..."
Having learned from the previous experience, Luo Tianyi forced herself not to laugh, her face turning red from holding back. This was her last shred of dignity, which she absolutely would not lose.
Ye Xuan, seeing the restrained girl, his lips curved upwards. Restraint? Was it useful?
Seeing this, Ye Xuan didn't hesitate and struck while the iron was hot with another funny story, "Then, about half a month later, the young man was troubled by life's trifles again and found the wise monk, 'Why is it that no matter what I do, rich people refuse to be my friends?'"
"The monk sat for a long time, then took out a bar of soap from behind him and threw it on the ground. The young man had an epiphany, 'So, Master, you are telling me that life will make us miss many things, that true friendship is not worth mentioning, and what cannot be kept will eventually be lost!'"
"The monk looked at the repeatedly visiting young man and sighed, 'No. It's for you to pick up soap while showering with rich people!'"
Luo Tianyi, "!!!!"
Picking up soap while showering with rich people??
The vivid imagery truly shattered Luo Tianyi's perception of the world. At this moment, it was like the last straw that broke her resistance. With a giggle, she finally broke her composure.
Then, she glared fiercely at the man. This scoundrel was doing it on purpose, absolutely on purpose. Humph, was it that hard to apologize to her? Really.
"No sense of propriety~~"
Luo Tianyi glared fiercely at the man. At this moment, her resentment from the scary ghost stories had dissipated. She truly loved and hated this man. It was a pity that she would likely never escape his grasp in this lifetime.
"What do you mean 'no sense of propriety'? Come, come, your husband will tell you another one."
"Speaking of which, this young man in the mortal world encountered..."
Before Ye Xuan could finish, Luo Tianyi glared at him, "Tsk, who wants to hear your stories? Humph, hurry up and hug me. I want to sleep."
She hugged the man beside her, indulged in some affection for a while, and then Luo Tianyi fell asleep. Ye Xuan, on the other hand, browsed the system mall and was soon attracted by an item.
"100% shares of Dou Sha Live Streaming Platform?"
Seeing that the redemption value was 30 billion, Ye Xuan chuckled. It was worth noting that Dou Sha Live Streaming's market value was in the hundreds of billions. As the largest live streaming platform in China, it was no joke.
For 30 billion to redeem a platform worth hundreds of billions was undoubtedly a massive profit!
After all, Dou Sha in this era occupied more than 80% of the domestic live streaming market, with daily turnover in the hundreds of millions!
Without further thought, Ye Xuan began the redemption, a smile curving his lips, "Such a great product, how could I miss it~~"
