The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

The sky was turning pale as Xiao Yu slowly woke up. When his blurry vision caught sight of the bright red beside the bed, he immediately came to himself.

"It's dawn... Are you injured? How are you now?" After slightly adapting to the ambient light, Xiao Yu propped up half of his body and asked the red-clothed ghost who was sitting on the bed.

"Don't worry, the old Taoist is dead, but he is not injured," You Mu replied while fiddling with his sleeves.

Xiao Yu felt relieved, relaxed, exhaled, nodded, and said, "That's good."

"The evil has been eliminated. You can decide for yourself about your stepmother's affairs." You Mu put his fingertips in front of his nose and sniffed. He didn't know whether it was because the old Taoist's blood was too smelly, or it was just his psychological effect. He had clearly bathed twice before coming back, but he could still smell a faint strange smell.

"I know that this is my fault, but I am sorry to trouble you. I don't know how to repay you for saving my life... Are you willing to tell me?"

Due to illness, Xiao Yu was unable to attend school and listen to lectures like his peers.

However, Xiao's father loved him and would invite teachers to the house to lecture on scriptures and history for him. The latest books and essays were never lacking in Qingxi Courtyard.

Therefore, Xiao Yu had also read many strange stories, and he saw in the books that ghosts and monsters were often the best at absorbing human energy... or, like the White Snake, they married people in order to repay their gratitude...

Although Xiao Yu was ill, his hearing was very good. Last night, before the other party swept him away with a wave of his sleeve, he clearly heard the other party calling him... Could it be, as the story said, that this was a fate from the previous life?

If that's the case, then he is...

"I've already said it last night, and there's nothing else to say. Now that this matter is mostly settled, I can rest for a while."

Xiao Yu knew to be wary of his stepmother. Without the evildoers, Madam Xiao had nothing to worry about, and he didn't have to keep an eye on Xiao Yu all the time like before.

As he spoke, You Mu stood up and planned to take another bath. He always felt that he was not clean enough. Even though he was a soul, he still felt that a proper bath was the best way to cleanse himself.

However, it was obvious that Xiao Yu misunderstood You Mu's intentions. After hearing what he said, it seemed as if the matter was over and he was about to leave.

He was anxious and reached out to grab the other person's sleeve, asking urgently to stop him: "You want to leave?"

"Bath in the back mountain" There is a naturally formed hot spring in the back mountain. It is comfortable to soak in it no matter whether you are a human or a ghost.

You Mu shook his arm and raised the corners of his eyes slightly, signaling the other party to let go.

Xiao Yu did not move. Seeing that the other party seemed to be hiding, he quickly grabbed the other party's wrist to stop him.

"Wait a moment……"

He has something he wants to clarify.

A light red spread across his ears. After pursing his lips, he asked, "Why did you call me like that last night?"

You Mu raised his eyebrows, looking at Xiao Yu's shy look, and couldn't help but feel like teasing her.

"What kind of thing?"

"That's right...last night, you clearly called me...husband"

“…Ah, maybe I heard it wrongly.” You Mu tidied up the loose hair falling on his shoulders with one hand and turned his head away to deny it.

"I didn't hear it wrongly. You clearly..." Although Xiao Yu had never been married, he was not a three-year-old child after all. How could he have heard such a thing wrongly?

"...Are you teasing me?" Xiao Yu frowned and became depressed.

That's clearly what I called him, how could I not recognize him?

He was unwilling to accept this, but he also witnessed the tricks of ghosts in playing with people's hearts. Was it really a bunch of nonsense?

You Mu's smile deepened as he curled his lips. Suddenly, he supported himself on the edge of the bed with his hands, leaned closer, and asked in return, "What did I tease you about, husband?"

"..." The distance between them suddenly shortened, and the space inside the curtain seemed extremely narrow. After hearing the other party's teasing, the young master of the Xiao family, who had never experienced the taste of love, felt that his blood was boiling hot, and his heart was beating non-stop. The heat flowed through his body and surged downwards...

"Wasn't it me who put me in the room and married you last night, Xiao Lang?"

The red-clothed ghost spoke softly, imitating the soft Wu dialect, and spoke in a flirtatious manner.

"I, I will take responsibility." Xiao Yu swallowed his saliva, feeling as if he was hit by a pleasant surprise. The excitement in his heart was about to soar into the sky uncontrollably.

"Really?" You Mu responded in a low voice, moving closer and tilting his head as if to kiss her.

Xiao Yu's whole body was tense, and he didn't move a single step. His eyes were fixed on the other person's movements, and he looked at the face that was getting closer with trepidation yet expectation.

Just as Xiao Yu was watching and about to put his lips on hers, he heard the other party chuckle and gradually disappeared. Only then did he hear the subtle teasing behind the figure.

"I can understand being excited when I wake up in the morning, but it hurt my hand..."

Xiao Yu's neck suddenly turned red, his eyes dropped, and he hurriedly covered himself with the quilt to hide his tracks.
