249: Chapter 247: I’m Just a Rabbit 249: Chapter 247: I’m Just a Rabbit She was worried about not having a way to safely break through the Inner City to approach Ghost Groom and suddenly such a perfect opportunity appeared. With Fang Geyu’s personality, how could he just sit idly by? “So, this Ghost Marriage Seal did not fall on you, but you used this red thread to transfer it onto yourself?” Baili An said, frowning. Lin Yuan also sensed something amiss and said worriedly, “Why act so recklessly? That is the Fierce Ghost Groom!” Fang Geyu lifted an eyebrow noncommittally, not bothering to explain further. She leaned lazily back in her chair and said with her legs crossed, “Whether you think I’m a naive calf unafraid of tigers or biting off more than I can chew, since this Ghost Groom is the topic of this exam, I, for one, will not shy away.” Suddenly, she looked at Baili An, “Just like how you must obtain the Immortal Tears.” Knowing that further discussion was pointless, he said, “Do you have any more of this red thread?” Fang Geyu had an ‘as expected’ expression. She took out a new red thread, whose other end was connected to an unknown place, and said, “Hand it over.” Whether it’s mortals marrying or ghostly nuptials, it involves two. It never happens that only one party is involved in the marriage. With a ghost bride, naturally, there is also a Ghost Groom. The Ghost Marriage Seal always appears simultaneously on a man and a woman. “Tonight, while the Ghost Marriage Seal appeared on Tao Ziyang, the eldest son of the Yun Family five streets away, Yun Shulang, also had a Ghost Seal planted on him at the same time. When Yun Shulang saw the mark on his body, he was so frightened that he nearly passed away.” His family was force-feeding him ginseng and pinching his philtrum desperately trying to pull him back from the ghost gate. The scholar cried, made a fuss, and even attempted to hang himself. In his desperation, he even took out a kitchen knife wanting to chop off his own arm.” Fang Geyu curled her lips in disdain, “His plight was indeed pitiful. I’ve never seen any man cry like a little lady. His fussing makes him a liability if he were to enter the Inner City.” She wound the red thread around Baili An’s wrist, paused slightly, then her tone became awkward, “I only think you are more useful than him, which is why I allowed you to enter the city with me. At least you won’t cry and fuss, and I didn’t investigate which family’s boy received the Ghost Seal. I just happened along this path—do you understand?” Across five streets, yet still ‘happened along’… Once she finished winding the thread, a scorching sensation enveloped Baili An’s wrist. A sinister, chilling Spiritual Flow burned through the other end of the thread, and soon, three blood-red Ghost Marriage Seals appeared on the skin of his wrist. Fang Geyu explained, “This is the Ghost-Decoy Thread. It can deceive the eyes of Ghost Groom. In three days, Ghost Groom’s army of ghost soldiers will come to fetch you. You need to go to the Yun Family ahead of time and prepare, and be sure not to reveal any flaws.” She pulled down the sleeve of Baili An, hiding the red thread, and with a deft touch of her fingertip, she tapped on the red thread lightly, causing it to vanish from sight. It was so mysterious that you couldn’t even feel its presence when touched. Indeed, it was no wonder she was considered a wealthy heiress in Shifang City, with many treasures at her disposal. Baili An rubbed his wrist where the scalding afterglow of the Ghost Seal lingered, nodded, and said, “Understood, I will enter with you.” After finishing all this, Fang Geyu tidied her sleeves and glanced at her bed, saying, “The mud monkey took my bed, so I will sleep in your room tonight.” Lin Yuan was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Fang Geyu. Baili An was also taken aback, then dutifully nodded, “Okay.” Perhaps Lin Yuan’s sharp gaze lingered too long, leading Fang Geyu to finally catch the hint. She stood up from the chair subconsciously, her lips twitched, and she flicked Lin Yuan’s forehead, her cheeks slightly hot, “What are you thinking? The corpse demon doesn’t need to sleep. He can stay here and watch over the mud monkey. I will rest in her room with you.” Lin Yuan held his head with both hands, showing a somewhat aggrieved expression, “I didn’t say anything…” Fang Geyu crossed her arms and laughed coldly, “Your little looks already told me everything. You were thinking of something naughty.” Baili An smiled helplessly, noting the weariness in Fang Geyu’s eyes tonight. Considering the planning and arrangements of the past few days and the chess pieces she had in place within Wangdao Immortal Alliance, it had consumed a lot of her energy. In three days, a fierce battle would await them again. “Alright, it’s getting late tonight; Miss Fang Geyu and Sister Lin Yuan should rest early.” That night, in the border city, a mountain wind carrying snow swept through. Amidst the snowstorm wafted the ancient scent from behind Ancient Mountain. The candle flame flickered in the wind, and the room felt slightly chilly. Baili An stood to close the window firmly, the little rabbit perched on his head flopped over, apparently succumbing to sleepiness, and rolled off his head. Quickly, he caught the rabbit, watching its soft body lazily tumble about in his palm, appearing ready to fall asleep. Baili An found his rabbit to be very strange. Sister Wen said that Afu Tu had a massive appetite, consuming humans, ghosts, dragons, and more terrifying than some ancient beasts. However, since he had kept this rabbit, it seemed not at all bloody, and if it hadn’t nibbled symbolically on a carrot in front of him, he would have doubted whether it needed to eat at all. He grabbed a carrot and brought it close to the rabbit’s mouth. The rabbit in his palm flipped over, sluggishly grabbing onto the carrot with its paws, hugging it like a large column, its pair of dimly red eyes staring at him. Looking at such a pair of eyes, Baili An suddenly remembered a saying. All things possess spirits. And this rabbit of his, Afu Tu, seemed extraordinarily perceptive, like it understood human speech. At this thought, Baili An felt somewhat uneasy; he suddenly remembered an incident at Lihe Sect and belatedly asked, “Little rabbit, are you a male or female rabbit?” Perhaps due to his experience raising a lively and naive little deer, Baili An hadn’t considered gender distinctions in small animals. But this rabbit was really too different from ordinary small animals; sometimes its gaze seemed almost human, unnervingly so. Thinking back to when Miss Jiujiu and he— It seemed like even this rabbit saw it all. The suddenly raised question startled Afu Tu, causing its ears to stand straight up, a look of shock on its face, and the drowsiness in its eyes instantly vanished. It thought to itself—it was just a rabbit! How should it answer this fatal question? Could it possibly lift its hind legs, part the little rabbit fur, and show him? The rabbit’s gaze grew resentful; it hugged the giant carrot tightly, baring two large, white incisors. “Crunch, crunch, crunch…” It gnawed angrily on the carrot, kicking its legs to indicate its refusal to answer the question.
