It has been five days since Tony went to Afghanistan, and there is still no news from him who was supposed to come back to attend the company meeting.Just when Pepper thought Tony was dreadful in Afghanistan, she received a call from General Rhodes.

"Miss Potts, I want to tell you a piece of news. Tony Stark was attacked in Afghanistan and his whereabouts are unknown. The military has sent people out to search. I hope you can stabilize the Stark Company." Rhodes The general's voice was exhausted.

Pepper was completely stunned. She didn't expect that she would urge Tony to go to Afghanistan on her birthday, but he would be attacked. Her head was in a mess, and she managed to calm down. She calmed down and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I will help Mr. Stark with his official duties and stabilize the company when he is away."

Pepper hung up the phone and took deep breaths. She couldn't stop thinking about the missing Tony Stark.She couldn't help thinking that if she hadn't reminded and urged Tony to participate in the new weapon display in Afghanistan that day, Tony would have forgotten this, and he would not have been attacked in Afghanistan.

She closed her eyes, unable to imagine what kind of torture that proud Stark would suffer in the days when his whereabouts were unknown.

"Chirp Chirp." When she was restless, she heard the crisp birdsong in the room.A bird with gorgeous indigo plumage sits by her desk, watching her quietly with its black beanie eyes.

"You... Where did you fly in?" Pepper stretched out his hand, wanting to return this fragile life to nature, "It's very dangerous to fly into the room."

This bird is not as afraid of people as other birds, it seems to understand the meaning of her words, it flaps its small wings, lands in her palm, and its fluffy head rubs against her fingers affectionately .

Being dependent on such a soft and fragile little life, her restless heart strangely calmed down.She tentatively touched the little creature with her index finger, feeling soft and fluffy from her fingertips.

"Chirp~" It tilted its little head and closed its eyes as if enjoying itself.After Pepper took her finger away, it spread its wings and signaled Pepper to follow him.

The little bird flapped its wings, and it flew around Pepper and flew towards the place where she kept the scroll.

Pepper was worried that the bird would accidentally fly into the gap in the room and get stuck, which would injure it and possibly lead to premature death.She followed the bird all the way to the room where she kept important items, and it disappeared through the closed door before Pepper's eyes.

Pepper was startled, thinking that he was dazzled, how could a bird disappear out of thin air.She took a deep breath and opened the locked door.The picture scroll that had been arranged by her did not know when it unfolded.

The room is full of water vapor, listen quietly, there is also the sound of running water, and even the air is filled with the faint fragrance of lotus.Pepper subconsciously took a step back, and after a brief dizziness, she found herself standing on a quaint wooden bridge.

She looked far into the distance, and all she could see was the scene of the lotus pond full of ponds.The lotus flowers, which are as light as haze, have different postures, some are about to bloom, some are shyly blooming with one or two petals, and some are blooming proudly, occasionally you can see bright yellow stamens from the pale pink petals.The emerald green lotus leaves reflect the beauty of the lotus, and also add a bit of vitality to the magnificent scenery of the pool.

The bird landed lightly on a lotus leaf, and the indigo feathers were a bit gilded under the sunlight.

This is by no means her home, but she has only seen the scenery similar to this one in one place, in the ancient painting given to her by her boss Tony.The only difference now is that the girl who was supposed to be in the lotus pond is gone.

"Dingling." A crisp bell sounded behind Pepper.She looked back, and saw that agile girl was sitting on the ancient bridge, her beautiful jade feet kicked up water splashes, and the sound of the bell just now was tied with a red rope around her ankle.

The bird that broke into Pepper's room before landed lightly on her shoulder.Pepper finally remembered why she felt familiar when she saw the little bird, because the bird had already landed on the girl's shoulder, and she had seen it before.

Seemingly sensing Pepper's gaze, the girl stopped playing in the water, and looked at the lady who strayed into the painting with indigo eyes, "Welcome to my environment."

She carefully observed Pepper's expression, and did not find any emotion related to fear on her face. This strong woman who will dominate the business world in the future has a pure enough soul.

Her eyes were gentle, "Then, what is the purpose of calling me here? What do you need me to do for you, master?" The girl calmly jumped off the wooden bridge, stepped barefoot on the cool wooden board, and politely asked Pei Po saluted.

Owner?call?Pepper was a little dizzy from these two words, and before she could sort out her thoughts, the girl spoke again.

"Huh? I seem to have misunderstood it." She frowned in distress, stretched out her right hand and gently moved in the void, as if pulling an invisible silk thread, "Although you have the breath of a master on your body, you are not What about the master. The master seems to be far away from me, and the line between us has become very dim."

After listening to Clover's words, Pepper immediately thought of that frivolous and proud boss who seemed to be suave but never gave normal gifts.This painting was given to her by Tony Stark, so could it be Tony Stark who made her the master?

"Who are you?" Pepper asked, she needed to figure out her identity, a person who lived in an ancient painting, no matter how she thought she was not a normal human being.

"I am Huaniaojuan, a demon born from a painting." Clover's eyebrows were gentle, "The artist who drew this painting is also the master who created me. He devoted his whole life to painting me. He is with me every day , I hope I can respond. But when I was contaminated with spiritual energy and turned into a ghost, he had already passed away in depression."

"Human life is really short and fragile." Clover lowered his brows, his eyes filled with longing for the old master.

"Ghost?" Pepper sensitively captured Clover's description of himself.The word was unfamiliar and jerky to her.From the girl's words, it feels like ghosts exist in urban legends.

"Well, ghosts. We ghosts are divided into many types. Some are born from entrusted things, like me, and some are awakened from flowers, plants, trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects." Clover patiently explained to her, also for herself Pave the way for the future.

"By the way, since you can come here and you have the aura of the master on your body, can you take me to find him?" She said slightly apologetically, "I can't stay in this world for too long."

"Do you know what he looks like?"

Clover tilted her head and lightly tapped her temples with her fingertips. After thinking for a moment, "I only saw a pair of caramel-colored eyes and a cute mustache. The master only unfolded the scroll once." She complained softly.

Caramel eyes and a cute mustache?With such a combination of characteristics, there is a high probability that she is now her immediate boss who is in danger.

Suddenly she had an idea that might be called bold. "If your current master is in danger, will you save him?" After speaking, Pepper felt that she might be crazy, and even pinned her hopes on the demon ghost she just met who didn't know the past or know what is right or wrong.

But she had nothing to do. General Rhodes searched for Tony for many days, but still found nothing. Every extra day, every minute and every second, the chances of Tony's survival became even slimmer.

"Of course, this is the meaning of my being called here. I protect him and help him. Until I leave this world, I will be by his side. This is my promise to you." Clover readily agreed, "Although I found myself in this world as soon as I woke up, and inexplicably formed karma with human beings, this really shocked me."

"Are you not in this world?" Pepper wanted to take this opportunity to get to know this girl who called herself Flower and Bird Scroll.

"Looking at your unfamiliarity with ghosts, there should be very few ghosts walking in this world. Most of us live in the Horai fairyland created by Kaguya Ji and Seimei-sama, and the other part are shikigami contracted with Onmyoji , because there is too little spiritual power in this world, it is not suitable for us to survive." Clover explained.

"What is karma with others?" She thought of the distressed appearance of Muzi after she had karma with herself.In order to ensure Tony's personal safety, Pepper had to ask clearly to ensure the safety of this seemingly harmless girl in front of him.

"You can think of this as a contract. We are summoned to fulfill the master's wish. This is the karma. After that, if we hurt the master, we will be engraved with a curse. This will cause harm to the ghosts. , Most of the ghosts will avoid it, but it is inevitable that some ghosts will ignore it." Clover said gently.

"Although, I don't seem to be summoned." She whispered.

Suddenly, Clover paused, "If you know the master, I hope you can tell me where he is now."

"Just now, his condition seemed to be getting worse. His lifeline was weak, and he probably suffered some serious injury. Although humans are very afraid of demons and ghosts, I hope you can trust me now." She looked at him sincerely. looking at Pepper.

Pepper was shaken, when she still didn't understand the power of this demon who called herself Huaniaojuan.She didn't know if she could pin her hopes on the flower and bird roll, even though it might be a stupid decision, "I believe in you," Pepper said.

Clover's eyes lit up, as if countless stars had fallen into her eyes, "It's really gentle, then, can you tell me the identity of the master and something about him?"

"He is my immediate boss, the largest arms dealer in this country, a libertine who hangs around in flowers, and an admirable technological genius—Tony Stark."
