God's Gift

On the other side, Yu Youyou sat in front of the carriage, patted the horse's butt, and asked, "Debt ghost, how did you turn into a horse?"

Lu Keming glanced at the horse calmly, without any surprise in his eyes. Instead, he was surprised that Youyou could tell at a glance that the horse was transformed by a ghost.

The horse pulling the carriage turned its head and actually began to speak: "Miss, my benefactor has no need for money or property, and has no worries about hunger. I can only transform into a horse and carry the burden for you for ten years. Only then can I repay your kindness and enter the reincarnation with peace of mind."

"Oh, I see." Yu Youyou nodded in understanding and sat back.

After listening to the conversation between Yu Youyou and the debt ghost, Lu Keming turned his gaze to Yu Youyou. Seeing that she had no intention of dodging, he asked, "Do you know that I am a demon?"

"I know." Yu Youyou nodded naturally.

Lu Keming's eyes were filled with a hint of wariness, and he asked in a cold voice, "How did you know that?"

"Before you killed that person, didn't he say that?" Yu Youyou thought for a moment, then imitated the panicked look of the man and said, "You are a demon... a demon..."

"You saw it all." Lu Keming originally thought that Yu Youyou had just arrived at the bridge at that time, but it turned out that she was there when he killed the man.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's pretended fear, his brows twisted into a knot, and asked, "Why didn't you dodge at that time?"

"Why should I hide?" Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming strangely.

The debt ghost in front heard the conversation between the two and turned back to say to Youyou: "Young lady is kind-hearted. She is not afraid because I am a ghost, nor is she afraid because this young man is a demon. She is a very true and pure person."

"But not everyone is afraid of ghosts and monsters. As the saying goes, humans and monsters are different. Ordinary people will not interact with us."

"I see." Yu Youyou thought for a while, then smiled again, moved closer to Lu Keming, and said happily:

"That's great for me!"

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou with some doubt in his eyes.

Yu Youyou shook her head twice and said seriously:

"Listen to what the debt ghost said. If others knew you were a demon, they wouldn't like you. But I knew you were a demon from the beginning, and I still wanted to play with you. Isn't that great?"

After hearing these strange words, Lu Keming subconsciously looked at Yu Youyou.

But as soon as he looked over, he saw Yu Youyou's clear and smiling eyes. His gaze moved down to the corners of her raised mouth. After being stunned for a second, his ears gradually turned red.

He slowly leaned back to avoid Yu Youyou who suddenly approached, turned his head to cover up and coughed a few times, nodded and whispered: "Yeah."

After getting his answer, Yu Youyou happily turned her head and looked ahead joyfully.

Lu Keming was still in the scene just now, his heart beating faster than ever before. He reached out and pressed his chest, then rubbed his knuckles anxiously, his eyes a little vague.

All previous doubts and confusions disappeared at this moment.

-

Lu Keming went to the general's mansion with Yu Youyou. After the servants brought all the items back to the mansion, he drove the debt ghost back to Huachunfang.

When they arrived at Huachunfang, Qingyi was waiting outside Lu Keming's room. When she saw him coming back, she ran up to him angrily and asked:

"Luo Chen, what do you mean? Why do you want to embarrass me in front of Miss Yu?"

Lu Keming stopped and looked at Qingyi expressionlessly. He sneered and asked, "Did I lose face for you?"

"Why didn't you tell me Miss Yu's family background? Why did you make me kneel there?!" Qingyi was covered in dog smell after being bitten by the pack of wild dogs. On the way back, she was laughed at by other actors for her miserable appearance.

"Is it because I didn't tell you?" Lu Keming's voice turned completely cold as he heard Qingyi's questioning, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"You are so eager to show off and climb the ladder, what chance do I have to tell you?"

When Qingyi heard this, her face turned red and she angrily scolded, "Don't act so noble. Do you think you are any different from me? We are both lowly actors. You don't want to sing for money and become a zither player. Do you really think you are different from me?!"

"I was born and raised in a brothel, and have been looked down upon by others my entire life. Why can't I climb up the social ladder?"

"They look down on me, but I just want to climb up step by step until I'm above them, so that they won't dare to look down on me anymore!"

Qingyi became emotional, her voice became much louder, she sneered and asked, "I saw you holding Miss Yu's hand with my own eyes, don't you want to get close to her? Do you still think you are worthy of her?"

Lu Keming was a head taller than Qingyi. When he heard his accusation, his face became even colder and all the emotions in his eyes disappeared, which made people feel even more frightened.

"What does it have to do with you whether I am worthy or not?"

The hand behind him grew sharp nails, and he said word by word:

"You can climb high branches if you want, but don't dream of someone who doesn't belong to you."

"What have you got to do with me?" Qingyi didn't feel Lu Keming's murderous intent at all and continued to provoke him.

When Lu Keming raised his hand, a voice came from the end of the corridor.

"Luo Chen."

When Lu Keming heard this, his expression froze. He put down his arms and looked at the madam standing in the corridor.

"Mom!" When Qingyi saw that person, she immediately ran over and shouted while crying.

"Okay." The madam patted Qingyi's head and said to him, "You go back and rest first. I will talk to Luo Chen alone."

"Mom, you have to stand up for me." Qingyi snuggled in the madam's arms, her voice a little coquettish.

"Okay." The madam agreed to Qingyi without hesitation.

After getting the guarantee from the madam, Qingyi felt victorious. She glanced at Lu Keming and left in a proud manner.

After Qingyi left, the madam did not punish Lu Keming as she had promised Qingyi. Instead, she glanced at him and turned to walk towards the inner room.

Lu Keming paused for a few seconds, lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding his emotions, and followed.

When they reached the inner room, the madam lit the incense. When the white smoke rose from the incense burner, she slowly made a pot of tea.

Lu Keming sat opposite her, head lowered, and said nothing.

"I remember it was a sunny day like this when I found you." The madam poured a bowl of tea for Lu Keming and said slowly:

"At that time, you hadn't transformed yet, you were still a fox, and your hind legs were broken by a trap. I couldn't bear to see you like that, so I took you home."

“It’s been decades now.”

Lu Keming listened silently as the madam brought up the past event again without saying a word.

Seeing that Lu Keming didn't respond, the madam didn't say anything more, but just changed the subject calmly, "I just saw you trying to attack Qingyi."

Lu Keming raised his eyes to look at the madam, nodded without any guilt, and replied, "Yes."

The madam was not angry when she heard his answer, but said calmly:

"He is not important, but he is the person in the world who looks most like my son. When my son is resurrected, you can do whatever you want with him. But I cannot resurrect my son yet, so you just have to be patient."

After that, she took out a jar with a yellow talisman from under the table, handed it to Lu Keming, and said:

"There is a loophole in the Never-Night Ghost Domain. Many ghosts have escaped from the ghost domain recently. I took the opportunity to capture this soul-binding ghost. You can use him to help you retrieve souls."

"Now I only need 27 souls to complete my formation, and then my son will be resurrected."

Lu Keming looked at the jar with the yellow talisman, and he did not have any positive emotions. He just nodded calmly. The madam took a sip of tea, looked at Lu Keming's expression, and before Lu Keming got up and left, she said:

"Luo Chen, I see you are in a good mood today. It seems that the girl makes you very happy. I heard that she even gave you a name, Lu Keming, right?"

Lu Keming paused and looked down at the madam. The madam did not look up at Lu Keming, but changed the subject and asked:

"Do you know how humans tame a dog?"
