▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Qin Ruan walked over to Liu Ze, whose face had turned pale with fright. The child shrank in his mother's arms, tears welling up in his eyes, looking pitiful.
"Your name is Liu Ze, right?"
Liu Ze seemed very afraid of Qin Ruan, and when he saw her approaching, his mouth trembled as if he was about to cry.
Mrs. Liu pinched her son's arm.
Liu Ze looked up at his mother, her tightly pursed lips showing a worried expression, and it pained him.
He quickly nodded at Qin Ruan, "Yes."
His voice was hoarse, with a hint of sobbing.
Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, a gentle and kind smile appearing on her face as she reached out her hand to Liu Ze.
"Wow... Mom, she has a ghost! The ghost wants to catch me!!!"
"Waaahhh!!!"
As soon as Qin Ruan's hand reached out, Liu Ze began screaming.
Fortunately, the soundproofing in this residential area was good. If it were an ordinary apartment building, it would have already attracted the displeasure of the neighbors.
Mrs. Liu hugged her son tenderly, suppressing her own fear, and gently reassured him in a low voice, "Be good, Xiao Ze. The little master is not a ghost, she is a celestial master."
"Mom, I'm scared, I'm really scared. I won't dare anymore, I know I was wrong!!!"
Liu Ze clung tightly to Mrs. Liu's neck, trembling uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a dripping sound echoed in the living room.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a puddle forming under Liu Ze's feet.
The small water stain gradually turned into a small pool as the water slid down his pants.
A faint, fishy smell permeated the air.
Mrs. Liu's hand holding her son became stiff, and Liu Boyang also looked at his son in disbelief and shock.
The couple's faces showed a mix of grief and heartache as they looked at their son.
Liu Ze was completely terrified.
He had developed a persecution complex towards people. If it worsened, this child might even develop schizophrenia.
Qin Ruan took a step back, pursing her red lips, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a profound light.
Liu Ze was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and children at this age have weaker and more sensitive psychological resilience.
They couldn't withstand setbacks, and even faced with minor setbacks, they would exhibit extreme behaviors.
Not to mention encountering such a great shadow, if not remedied in time, this could ruin his whole life.
Liu Boyang secretly observed Qin Ruan's expression and, seeing her gloomy face, he stepped forward two steps to stand in front of his wife and son.
He anxiously said to Qin Ruan, "Master Qin, I'm sorry. This child is frightened and speaking nonsense. Please don't mind him."
"Why would I hold a grudge against a child?"
Qin Ruan raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Boyang, her exquisite face showing no sign of fading.
She sighed softly and said to Liu Boyang, "Your son's memory tonight needs to be erased. He has significant psychological issues right now."
This was the best solution she could think of.
Qin Ruan had also overlooked this child's fragile psyche, allowing him to witness all of this.
Not everyone, like her or the people around her—Hou Chuan, Hou Zhi, Lin Hao, and others—could handle these things and accept them.
A smile of delight appeared on Liu Boyang's face
. "Is that possible?"
"If the child can forget tonight's memory, he would naturally agree."
"Sure."
Qin Ruan walked towards Liu Ze again and spoke in a low voice to Liu Boyang and Madam Liu, "In the future, please remember to advise this child. It's fine if he doesn't believe in ghost gods, but he must not be disrespectful."
Madam Liu nodded vigorously, "We will constantly remind him!"
Qin Ruan nodded and extended her hand towards the back of Liu Ze's head.
Her slender fingertips touched his head.
"Um—"
Liu Ze let out a painful sound.
Under the gaze of everyone except Hou Chuan and Song Banxian, Qin Ruan extracted a golden light from Liu Ze's body.
It was the memory Liu Ze experienced tonight, condensed into a small ball the size of a thumb, floating in Qin Ruan's palm.
Lin Hao, Liu Boyang, and Madam Liu saw the golden ball, and under their gaze, Qin Ruan slowly closed her hand.
In an instant, she crushed Liu Ze's memory of tonight.
Qin Ruan opened her palm, and there was nothing inside.
"Everything has been resolved. Liu Ze's body will be relatively weak for the next few months. Let him do more good deeds in the future and take good care of his health. In two or three months, he will be a lively and energetic young boy again."
"Thank you, Master Qin!"
Liu Boyang knelt down and paid his respects to Qin Ruan.
As his knees touched the ground, Qin Ruan quickly stepped aside, "There's no need for that!"
She said coldly, "Tonight, it was mutually beneficial. The things Liu Ze encountered are related to your negligence in his education. Adolescents in their teens are curious about everything, and sometimes they have more courage than adults. They do things without considering the consequences. You should pay more attention to your child's education in the future."
"Yes, yes, we will definitely remember!"
Madam Liu hugged her son, who was asleep with closed eyes, and kept thanking Qin Ruan, "Thank you, little master, thank you..."
Qin Ruan waved her hand in front of this couple, and she also retrieved the heavenly eye she had given them before.
She spoke to Song Banxian who was standing by, "Master Song, we should leave now."
"Alright!"
Before leaving, Song Banxian helped Liu Boyang, who was kneeling on the ground, to stand up, "Today, you have been fortunate. Your ancestors must have been blessed."
Liu Boyang understood he was referring to the encounter with Qin Ruan, "Master Song, thank you, thank you..."
Song Banxian didn't want to take credit, "Don't thank me. I just came to witness the abilities of Daoist Qin. Tonight's matter has nothing to do with me."
Qin Ruan had already walked out of the Liu family's gate with Hou Chuan and Lin Hao.
Seeing this, Song Banxian released his grip on Liu Boyang's hand and caught up.
However, as he took a step, he couldn't move forward; his sleeve was pulled from behind.
When he turned around, he saw Liu Boyang taking out a card from his pocket, "Master Song, there's 300,000 inside. Could you please give it to Master Qin on my behalf? My family of three is immensely grateful to her for tonight's matter. This is a small token of our appreciation. Please ask her to kindly accept it."
Song Banxian reached out and took it, "I'll ask her if she accepts."
He quickly left the Liu family's place to catch up with Qin Ruan
and the other two.
Downstairs.
Night falls, and people have already fallen asleep.
In the tranquil silence of the night, a gentle breeze rustles Qin Ruan's hair.
Hou Chuan stops the car at the spot where Qin Ruan and Lin Hao are waiting.
Silently, Lin Hao steps forward and opens the back door of the car.
Just as Qin Ruan gets in the car, Song Banxian happens to come downstairs.
"Miss Qin! Wait!"
Qin Ruan sits in the car, leaning her head out of the window, smiling at the slightly breathless Song Banxian.
"I was waiting for you. Take your time, we can't escape."
Song Banxian walks up to the front of the car but doesn't get in. Instead, he presents a card given to him by Liu Boyang to Qin Ruan.
"This is from Liu Boyang. Inside, there's 300,000 yuan. He says thank you for helping to save their son tonight."
Qin Ruan lowers her gaze and looks at the card in Song Banxian's hand, which reflects a faint glow under the dim yellow streetlight.
She responds indifferently, "Give it back to him. I don't need it."
"That won't do. We never leave empty-handed when we take action. This is a substantial amount of money."
Song Banxian tucks the card into Qin Ruan's embrace, then walks to the front passenger door and gets in.
Sitting in the back seat, Qin Ruan picks up the card that was tossed into her embrace and landed on her lap.
"Alright."
It's not that she finds the money insignificant, but tonight's dealings with the Liu family were meant to be mutually beneficial.
She had never heard of the concept of a Tian Shi taking action without gaining anything in return.
It seems she should remember this for the future.
Qin Ruan stares at the card in her hand, contemplating how to use the money.
After some thought, she decides to put it into the commission card specially set up to deal with those demonic events she resolved earlier.
...
Tongsha Bridge.
A luxurious and elegant car is parked at the booth where Song Banxian and Qin Ruan set up their stall.
The passenger door of the luxury car is pushed open from the inside.
Song Banxian swiftly gets out of the car and walks to the back seat.
The window rolls down slowly, revealing Qin Ruan's face with a faint trace of weariness.
"Miss Qin, I'll take over the booth today. Let me know when you plan to come back, and I'll make space for you."
Qin Ruan sits inside the car, lazily leaning against the seat.
Drowsiness overwhelms her as she covers her mouth and yawns, her eyes welling up with tears.
Narrowing her eyes, Qin Ruan expresses her gratitude to Song Banxian standing outside the car. "Thank you for your trouble."
Song Banxian takes two steps back. "Not at all. Take your time on the way."
"Alright, you should go back soon too."
"My son will come to pick me up shortly. Don't worry."
Qin Ruan waves her hand at him. "Then we'll be on our way. We'll contact you if there's anything."
Song Banxian watches as the car carrying Qin Ruan gradually distances itself and then returns to his own stall.
The booth he and Qin Ruan operated remains unchanged, with no signs of damage.
The owners of the surrounding stalls greet Song Banxian politely when they see him return.
Song Banxian responds with a smile on his face.
He has been running a stall at Tongsha Bridge for many years, and the surrounding merchants hold him in high respect. Even when he's away, they help look after his stall.
Song Banxian tidies up the items on his stall while chatting with the surrounding merchants, creating a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.
...
Hou Family.
Qin Ruan returned to the Hou Family in the early morning.
She entered the building with heavy steps, and the living room was dimly lit by a dark night lamp.
No one was in the hall; at this time, Third Master was already asleep.
Qin Ruan took off her coat and casually threw it on the sofa, then turned to Huo Chuan and Lin Hao, who were following behind her, and said, "You both should rest too."
Huo Chuan asked, "Madam, would you like to have a late-night snack?"
"No, I'm tired. I'll go upstairs to rest."
"Alright."
Qin Ruan walked upstairs, while Huo Chuan and Lin Hao headed to the lounge on the first floor.
Upstairs, in the bedroom.
Qin Ruan gently pushed open the door, and the floor lamp inside illuminated the room with a warm, non-glaring yellow light.
Hou Yunjiao lay relaxed on the bed, his handsome and restrained face facing Qin Ruan.
For a moment, Qin Ruan was slightly stunned by his handsome, elegant, and almost bewitching appearance. Even after spending these few months together, she still had no resistance to this face.
Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, walked into the room, and quietly closed the door behind her.
She approached the bed, took off her clothes, picked up the prepared pajamas next to her, and got under the covers.
She was too exhausted, too tired to even bother taking a shower.
Just as Qin Ruan closed her eyes, preparing to enter the realm of dreams, she was enveloped in a warm embrace exuding a scent of sandalwood.
"Little girl, you're back."
Huo Yunjiao's low, husky, and sexy voice sounded in Qin Ruan's ear.
Thinking she had awakened him, Qin Ruan slightly opened her mouth, preparing to speak, but she heard the man's even breathing.
Her body sank into the warm embrace. After waiting for a while and not sensing any other movements from Hou Yunjiao, she realized that he was still asleep.
Qin Ruan let out a sigh of relief, and her body gradually relaxed.
Being completely embraced by him like this was an intimate act that made Qin Ruan somewhat uncomfortable.
She wanted to break free from Hou Yunjiao's embrace, but his arm around her waist held her tightly.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Ruan was too lazy to struggle any further, so she leaned against Hou Yunjiao's embrace and slowly closed her eyes.
The two of them cuddled in bed, like lovers deeply in love, inseparable from each other.
The next day.
When Qin Ruan woke up, she was alone in bed.
She turned over and lazily lay on the bed, her gaze glancing outside the window.
It was raining outside, with countless water droplets on the floor-to-ceiling glass.
The sky was gloomy, and the rain was not heavy. It was the perfect weather for sleeping.
Qin Ruan, who had just woken up, furrowed her brows, feeling an empty heart.
She felt a bit restless, as if something was about to happen.
This feeling started last night and had been bothering her ever since.
"Knock, knock—"
The door was knocked.
Qin Ruan lay on the bed without moving, her eyes gazing faintly outside the window, fixed on the droplets on the floor-to-ceiling window.
"You're awake, why are you still lying in bed?"
A deep and pleasant voice, mixed with a hint of laughter, sounded.
