A great relationship

The man's stomach exploded, and blood plasma mixed with flesh splattered all over the room. The old procuress fainted from fright before she even crawled to the door. A bloody, tumor-like thing crawled out of the man's stomach. He stretched out his long blood-red tongue and licked his face, which was wrinkled like an orange peel. He saw Si Nanyi rushing in from the roof with his mouth full of fangs, hissing intimidation.

Si Nanyi stood in front of the unconscious old procuress, carefully looking at the freak in front of him. The creature had many hands and feet, and even several heads. It looked a bit like a baby, but with a red tongue as long as a piece of cloth and a mouth full of fangs, it was hard to associate him with a cute baby.

Before Si Nanyi could make any move, the strange baby flew out and attacked him with its bloody mouth open. Si Nanyi shook the bayonet in his hand. Even though he had no magic power at all, he was not afraid of such a situation.

When the strange baby got close to Si Nanyi, it was immediately scratched by the bayonet. The strange baby did not get the upper hand, so it jumped onto the roof, licking the wound while crying strangely.

But Si Nanyi had no intention of letting him go, and threw the bayonet in his hand towards the strange baby.

The strange baby jumped like an eight-legged spider and avoided Si Nanyi's attack.

And he kept provoking Si Nanyi with his bloody mouth.

What Si Nanyi could not tolerate the most was provocation, so he threw the other bayonet in his hand fiercely.

The strange baby jumped and dodged again.

Seeing that Si Nanyi's hands were empty, the strange baby rushed towards Si Nanyi with its bloody mouth open as if it had nothing to fear.

Si Nanyi smiled evilly and said, "Some brains, but not much!"

Si Nanyi opened his palms and grabbed at the air, pulling hard. The two bayonets stuck in the beams were instantly pulled out by an invisible force and finally returned to Si Nanyi's hands. The strange baby had no time to escape. Si Nanyi flipped in the air, holding two knives, and in a few seconds, he cut off several of the strange baby's hands and feet.

The strange baby fell to the ground and turned back to the bloody state it was when it just came out of the belly, and kept making a baby-like crying sound from its mouth, "wa wa wa..."

Without hands and feet, it crawled slowly on the ground like a snail, leaving many bloody streaks on the ground.

Si Nanyi shouted to Shangguan Jian who was leisurely watching the fun on the roof: "Big cat, don't be idle, find a jar or something, put this disgusting thing away and seal it for me."

"What's that smell? It's so strong!"

Si Nanyi pursed his nose and kept a distance from Shangguan Jian.

"What else could it smell like? Urine."

Si Nanyi caught a glimpse of a long-handled earthenware jar in Shangguan Jian's hand, which seemed familiar. He immediately reacted, pinched his nose and fanned the air around him, saying, "Champer, you used the chamber pot to seal the "ghost baby"!"

Shangguan Jian shrugged helplessly and said: "It's nothing we can do. This is the only jar around here."

Si Nanyi said with great disdain: "Keep it away from me, the smell is too strong!"

In the front hall of Yihong Courtyard.

Mudan whispered mysteriously: "Doctor Li died in the backyard of our Yihong Courtyard."

Bai Shaohua was horrified and said, "Oh! That's so scary. I won't dare to go to the backyard anymore."

Yue Ji also echoed: "Don't even think about going to the backyard! Once this matter gets out, no guests will come to our building anymore."

Shangguan Jian mixed in with them, cracking melon seeds and saying: "Sisters, do you know how Doctor Li died?"

Bai Shao also asked curiously, "How did he die?"

Mudan said: "This is so scary, who dares to ask how he died?"

Bai Shao: "But I heard from the officials that he fell to his death!"

Yueji: "No, I heard he was killed in a car accident!"

Mudan threw the melon seed shells away and said, "That's not right, that's not right, you're just going to fall into the jar and drown!"

"He fell to death!"

"Killed by accident!"

"Drown!"

The obese madam came downstairs, waving her fat hands and yelling, "What are you arguing about? Do you have so much free time?"

The hall was empty, and there were only the girls in the building, huddled together in groups of two or three, eating melon seeds. Bai Shao waved her round fan and whispered, "You are not idle... Madam."

Peony gently pulled White Peony to signal her to shut up.

The madam, who was holding up her skirt, shouted angrily: "There are no customers. Stand at the door and pick them up!"

After everyone in the lobby was dispersed, the madam went upstairs again, closed the door, and began muttering something in a mysterious manner.

Si Nanyi and Shangguan Jian, who were also driven out of the gate to recruit customers, stood by the door with their hands behind their backs.

There was a rustling sound.

Shangguan Jian said: "It is very likely that Doctor Li was killed by falling, being hit, or drowning."

Si Nanyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Where did you get such untrue information?"

"I asked the girl in the building."

"I have some news too, do you want to hear it?"

Shangguan Jian looked like he wanted to know more. Si Nanyi said, "He was scared to death!"

Shangguan Jian said in disbelief: "How frightening! Where did you get your evidence from?"

Si Nanyi said: "The ghost who collects souls found out."

Shangguan Jian: "... Then why is there a rumor about external injuries?"

"I don't know what he saw, but he panicked and fell down, bumped into the door, and finally lost his way and fell into the water tank, choking on the water."

Shangguan Jian insisted: "But he still drowned in the end."

"No, he was just frightened to death and choked on water. In short, he was frightened to death. That's the conclusion of the ghost officials."

"So they don't care? The ghost baby has appeared!"

Si Nanyi said: "I didn't hand the ghost baby over to them."

Shangguan Jian was even more confused: "Why?"

"Think about it, the ghost baby was subdued by me right under your nose, and Doctor Li was also frightened to death at that time. This means that there is another one causing trouble in Yihong Courtyard."

"So what? This is the territory of Zhenwu Yuanjun. We are from Shitian Pavilion and are only responsible for monitoring the anomalies in the three realms. It is not our turn to be in charge."

"You're right, but we are still people of Skull Island. Hou Yanchen has always been fond of those shady things. I plan to..."

Before Si Nanyi could finish his words.

Shangguan Jian pushed Si Nanyi directly against the door frame, put his elbow on his chest and said: "Xiao Yi, are you really planning to fall into the devil's way!"

The two's actions immediately attracted the attention of the sisters. They thought they were going to fight, and fearing that they would be in trouble, they all left a large area around them.

Si Nanyi glanced at the people around him, put on a fake smile and shouted at Shangguan Jian, "Let go!"

Shangguan Jian said firmly: "If I don't let you go, you will help that guy who is neither a demon nor a ghost. How can I just sit there and watch?"

Si Nanyi whispered: "How come you haven't grown any brains in three hundred years? I helped him in exchange for a condition that would allow you to leave and return to the Heavenly Palace."

Shangguan Jian retorted: "It's you, the chief, how can you be so naive? Do you think that if you try so hard to please him, he will let us go? Even if he does, I don't need it!"

You don't need it, but I do. One of us becomes his prisoner, and the other is a plaything in his hands, at his mercy. I don't want to live in such a cowardly state for a long time before going to the demon world!

Si Nanyi softened his tone and said, "Shangguan Jian, can't you just listen to me this once? Get out of that guy's sight, I beg you."

Shangguan Jian immediately let go of Si Nanyi, frowning suspiciously and saying, "You are hiding something from me."

Si Nanyi and Shangguan Jian were in a stalemate, but they didn't know when Hou Yanchen would arrive.

The gate of Yihongyuan suddenly became busy. People were walking on the street, but they would look towards the gate of Yihongyuan from time to time.

The focus of attention was on Hou Yanchen, who was dressed in a sable and fox fur coat, and was adorned with gold and jade. With his noble status, he walked towards the tacky, red-and-green brothel on the street - Yihongyuan.

When Mudan saw the person coming, she pulled the silk handkerchief in her hand, but she didn't dare to get close to Hou Yanchen. She just stood by the door and smiled coquettishly, saying with a lack of confidence: "Oh, this gentleman is so handsome, come... come... sit in our Yihong Courtyard!"

Bai Shao and Yue Ji were also attracted by the sight. They hid behind Mudan, staring blankly at Hou Yanchen who was fanning him, not daring to say a word.

Hou Yanchen walked straight past them and entered the hall of Yihongyuan in two steps, which made the girls very happy.

Before he finished, he suddenly stopped, put away his folding fan, turned around and pointed at Si Nanyi by the door frame and said:

"I want that man!"

Si Nanyi looked back and met his purple eyes. At that moment, being chosen in public by him with his folding fan, Si Nanyi looked as if he had eaten a dead fly, and his face twitched in which direction he didn't know!

Mudan, who came up to lead the way, looked in the direction Hou Yanchen pointed and explained:

"Sir, that... is just a servant in our Yihong Courtyard... and he is a man."

Hou Yanchen glanced at the empty halls of Yihong Courtyard and said unhappily,

"Why? I saw her flirting with other men, almost kissing each other, but she became chaste when she came to me. No wonder you have no business here, you only sell your art and not your body! I might as well go to a music hall."

Hou Yanchen raised his foot and was about to leave.

Immediately, the madam's voice came from upstairs, asking her to stay.

"Sir, please stay."

The old procuress twisted her fat body and wished she could fly down from the building.

The madam smiled and said, "Oh, sir, what are you talking about?"

The madam's eyes slid across Hou Yanchen's gorgeous clothes and jade ornaments, and she said with a greedy look on her face:

"Here, you are the boss, you have the final say, come in and sit down. Come on, come on."

This was exactly what Hou Yanchen wanted. He followed the madam upstairs and said with a folding fan: "Give me a room on the upper floor. I like quietness and don't like being disturbed. This is a reward. Take it and divide it all!"

The madam took the heavy purse that Hou Yanchen casually threw out, and the smile on her face reached her ears. "Sir, don't worry, it will be absolutely quiet! Please sit inside, I'll have someone prepare wine and food."

Hou Yanchen turned his back to the madam and said, "No need for wine or food, just serve the main course!"

The madam immediately understood Hou Yanchen's intention and said flatteringly, "I understand. I'll be there right away. I'll be there right away."

After a while, the chosen Si Nanyi was kicked into Hou Yanchen's upper room.

Looking at Si Nanyi standing there stupidly, Hou Yanchen sat down behind a beaded curtain, his finger stroking the rim of the cup and said sarcastically:

"What? Even though I sold you to a brothel, how come you still can't learn how to seduce someone?"

Si Nanyi dusted himself off, pushed aside the bead curtain, leaned against the curtain pillar, played with the beads on the curtain and said, "Who said I can't do it? It's just that you sold me, and I am a member of Yihong Courtyard. Sir, you are not my benefactor! I won't receive you."

"I have plenty of money. If possible, I can buy the whole street! How about that?"

In front of him, Hou Yanchen threw out another heavy bag of money and dropped it on the table.

Si Nanyi didn't even glance at him, and deliberately flirted with him in front of him:

"I sell my art but not my body."

Hou Yanchen sneered: "Selling art but not body..."

"What skills do you have to offer? Show me a Western belly dance."

"will not!"

Si Nanyi answered firmly.

Hou Yanchen, who was deliberately making things difficult for him, changed the subject:

"Then keep it simple, sell yourself!"

"You want me that much."

"Yes, it has to be you!"

Hou Yanchen's purple eyes were fixed on Si Nanyi.

Si Nanyi was sure that this guy was not joking, and hurriedly said: "I will sell myself to you, can you let Shangguan Jian go?"

Hou Yanchen immediately showed displeasure, but he quickly suppressed it. Hou Yanchen patted his thigh.

"It depends on your performance. Sit up by yourself."
