Beauty and the Bodyguard

However, this information was only for preparation-he wouldn't be leaving XI MA until he recovered to a certain level of strength.

He stayed at the food stall for two hours, and it was almost ten when he got back to the area. This place was cold and quiet during the day, and it was even quieter at night. There weren't many rooms in the area with their lights on, and even the more timid people wouldn't dare walk at night. Who knew if it was really haunted?

In a crowded place like the downtown area, ghosts were just a joke. But in this dark and quiet environment, once such a thought came to mind, no matter how bold a person was, they would be scared.

But Lin Yi didn't really care. He didn't believe in ghosts, and even if they did, they were just spirits to him. He had one himself, and he'd be scared if he ran into one.

He followed the dark stairs up to the fifth floor and subconsciously looked at the opposite door. If he could have a chance encounter with that cold girl, he might be able to get some information out of her as neighbors, but she must be in closed door Meditation Healing right now. It was unlikely for him to get anything out of her for a while.

Of course, this was only if they met by chance. Lin Yi wouldn't knock on the door on his own initiative. He could use the neighbor's name to hit on her, but with the cold girl's style, she might kill him if she was unhappy. That would be the opposite of what he wanted.

Lin Yi took out his keys and was about to open his door when the opposite door opened. The tall lady stood quietly in the room, coldly sizing Lin Yi up.

Lin Yi jumped-what was wrong with this cold girl, doing something like this in the middle of the night? he was the only one who was brave enough to do this-any other person who was thinking about the haunted house would've gotten a heart attack from the shock. Was this girl staring at him all the time?

The two of them looked at each other and did not speak. After a while, the tall woman asked,""I heard that your house is haunted?"

"Ha?" Lin Yi blinked and shook his head,"it's probably just a rumor. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Did it affect you?"

"No, I didn 't," The tall woman didn't say anything more and closed the door.

Lin Yi was left standing at the door, confused. He shook his head and chuckled before entering his room.

Lengniu's sudden move surprised Lin Yi, but he wasn't afraid that she'd see through him. Once his Yuan spirit solidified, not only would normal people not be able to see it, even normal practitioners wouldn't be able to see it. Unless it was someone with a special technique like sun Baimei, he didn't have to worry about his identity being exposed under normal circumstances.

Two familiar faces showed up at the entrance-one was an old man selling vegetables, and the other was a guy with a crew cut. It was the two scammers he'd met earlier that day.

"What the hell? I clearly put the money in my pocket. How did it disappear?" Little Flathead cursed.

"Did you offend some expert again and have them search us for all our money without us knowing? I told you that we can't show off in our line of work. You brat, once you have some money, you go to nightclubs and washrooms. There are so many people in those kinds of places. It's troublesome no matter who you offend. Now, I'm also in trouble with you!" The old man rebuked.

"Master, I've told you thousands of times that I only went to those nightclubs to grope. I didn't do anything else, so how could I have offended anyone? Could it be that you didn't keep your eyes open and lied to someone you shouldn't have?" The man with the crew cut complained.

"Bullshit! I've been in this line of work for decades, how could I be wrong? It must be you who caused this trouble. You don't even know that you've offended someone. You don't have any hair on your mouth, so you can't do things properly. You should be more careful!" The old man continued to criticize.

"Okay, okay, okay, it's all my fault. If I find out which bastard did such an immoral thing, I'll definitely lie to him!" The man with the crew cut teased.

"Just based on this sentence of yours, you'll still suffer losses in the future. You have no memory at all!" The old man gave the man with the crew cut a slap and said after a pause,""Fortunately, I still have this job tonight. I won't be empty."

"F * ck, this doesn't cost much. It's boring." The buzzcut guy complained. The scam he had done during the day would get him 10000 Yuan, but this kind of work only cost him 300 or 200 yuan. He didn't even want to make this little money.

"You're just thinking of good things! Do you think it's so easy to catch one in a month? if you don't earn this little money at other times, you're going to be left with nothing. " The old man scolded.

"Yes, yes, yes. Food must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be walked step by step. This should be fine, right? "He's obviously doing something like scamming, but he still looks so uncouth. Those who don't know would think that he's a peasant laborer ..."The crew cut guy shrank his neck helplessly.

"How can I lie if I'm not old-fashioned? Do you really think it's as high-tech as the movies you've watched? only an idiot would believe that!" The old man gave him a kick and urged,""Hurry up, don't delay the work. After you finish this work, you still have to Scout the place tomorrow."

As they spoke, they walked into a house one after another and went straight up to the fifth floor, stopping in front of Lin Yi's room.

The two of them looked at each other, and the old man immediately began to stick black paper on his face. With his black clothes and the dim light around him, he suddenly became a ball of darkness. Standing in the shadows in the corner, if one didn't pay attention, one really wouldn't notice him. And if one did, it would be even worse. Meeting such a thing in the middle of the night would give one a heart attack!

The man with the crew cut was wearing a shoddy wig and a loose white robe. At the same time, he applied white foundation on his face and smeared a few lines of tomato juice on it. At first glance, it looked like blood. When he made a face, he was even scarier than an old man.

When everything was ready, the old man took out the key and opened the door quietly. The two of them sneaked in. Seeing that there was no one in the living room, they looked at each other and sneaked into the bedroom. Neither of them made any sound of footsteps, and the way they walked was extremely horrifying. At first glance, it looked like they were floating, and it really looked like a haunted place.

However, before they could start to scare people, they were scared out of their wits as soon as they entered the room. The crew cut guy almost fell to the ground, and the old man behind him was squeezed directly into the living room. Fortunately, the coffee table he hit was quite heavy, or else it would have made a lot of noise. (To be continued.)
