I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

Jiang Miao lightly closed his eyes, and the auspicious clouds behind him gathered into a huge divine beast in an instant, listening to the words.The soul-locking whip released unprecedented dazzling light, changing shape and turning into a magic pestle.The moment Daoren touched Jiang Miao, he went straight into his body.

Daoren's abdomen began to swell violently, and the black resentment leaked even more.He desperately covered his stomach with his hands, wailing in pain.In a blink of an eye, Daoren's entire body turned into a round black ball, and with a violent explosion, it turned into a wisp of black feathers, slowly floating on the water surface, spinning and sinking to the bottom of the river...

At this point, the dust has settled.At the last moment, Jiang Xiao saw a faint hope rising in Daoren's eyes.He stretched out his hand somewhere behind him, and opened and closed his lips silently uttered two words...

master.

The clouds gradually dispersed, and the bright moonlight appeared again.The bright stars seem to be arranged in a certain order.Jiang Miao relaxed his body and fell backwards, then raised one arm to pillow behind his head.There was a rustling sound beside him, and Xichi also sat down silently beside him.The two raised their heads together, looking up at the galaxy.

Jiang Miao connected the stars with his fingers, then turned his head and asked Qichi casually, "What do you think they look like?"

Qi Chi's eyes were dark: "A dog having fun?"

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows: "It's obviously a lotus, a white lotus."

"Okay." Qi Chi replied warmly.

"But if you look closely, it looks more like pot-packed meat?" Jiang Xiao smacked his lips, "That one is fish-flavored shredded pork, that one, beef brisket stewed with tomatoes..."

Suddenly a pair of hands stretched out in front of him.

"Go home." The low voice said softly.

Jiang Miao nodded with a low smile, and then clenched that hand tightly.

Fingers intertwined, we headed home together.

……

A few years later, in the middle of the night of the Ghost Festival, a gust of wind blew open the wooden door of a tavern in a certain border town.Following the sound of "Squeak--", the mountain spirit tree monsters and monsters in the tavern looked back one after another, and then they all stunned in unison.

I saw a red dress floating in style, on a flawless face that could be called a peerless beauty, a pair of slightly raised peach eyes were looking at the boss with half-down eyes and a lazy expression in front of the bar with a smile.The boss looked up at the person who was coming, and paused as he was wiping the glass in his hand, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Yo." He waved his hand in greeting.

"Jiang sir, long time no see." The beauty in red raised her sleeves to cover her lips and smiled lightly upon hearing this.

"Hey, it's not Jiang sir for a long time." Jiang Xiao mixed a glass of wine and handed it to Ajiao, "It's not like you don't know that a few years ago, I was pierced through the waist by a gang of rats who robbed banks in the underworld. It’s not good. Now I’m just a liaison officer of the underworld.”

"You can pull it down!" A sneer came from behind Ajiao, "You can handle the evil ways of S-level wanted criminals, but what can a few stinky mice do to you? If you want to be lazy, just say so." After finishing speaking, come on The man grabbed the wine glass and drank all the liquid in it, and at the end he didn't forget to complain, "What the hell, I'm panicking!"

Jiang Miao raised his eyebrows, and then waved at the demons and ghosts in the tavern: "It's closed, it's closed, let's go back to our homes. Remember to report back to the underworld on time after the holidays!"

The ghosts and goblins wanted to joke with Jiang Miao again, but when they saw the gloomy dead face beside them, they didn't dare to do it again.

All the demons: "Hello, Sir, goodbye Sir!"

Before leaving, a cheap bastard did not forget to say something quickly to A Jiao: "Sister-in-law is so beautiful!" Then he was kicked back to the ground by You Ji in an instant.

The wine pipe was quiet again, and after Jiang Miao hung the wooden sign with the word "proofing" on the door, he turned off the headlights, leaving only one on the bar.

"I heard that the famous underworld garden was demolished?" Jiang Xiao took out three cans of beer from the refrigerator and threw them to You Ji and A Jiao.

"It's been dismantled, it's been empty for a long time. I heard that a new contact station is going to be built." You Ji pulled the pull ring, leaned on the bar and took a sip, then raised the wine can at Jiang Xiao, "How about you, don't you think about transferring it back? After all, it is a big city, and the salary is much higher than here.”

Jiang Miao lit a cigarette and held it in his hand, shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, it's pretty good here, there are fewer ghosts and less trouble."

Hearing this, You Ji frowned, intending to continue persuading, but A Jiao who was beside him gently pulled down his sleeves, and said angrily, "There are other people's plans, so don't interfere too much."

"Didn't I think about him?!" You Ji said dissatisfiedly, "Is it enough for this prodigal son to have more money and more space?"

"Isn't there still Qichi here?" Ajiao whispered, "He earns a lot more than you."

"Oh, no wonder!" You Ji sneered, "But Jiang Miao, let me tell you, whoever has it is worse than what I have, and if I want it for my wife, I have to reach out."

Jiang Miao rested his chin with his hands, and looked at Ajiao with a smirk upon hearing this, and blinked at him: "Listen, do you need to clean up?"

Ajiao smiled again, looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see him?"

Hearing Ajiao's question about Qichi, Jiang Miao couldn't help frowning and said, "Don't mention it, the boss has always been mysterious lately, and I don't know what he's been working on behind his back. He went out again before it was dark today. I haven't seen the shadow yet." He flicked the cigarette ash while talking, raised his eyebrows at You Ji and the two, "By the way, why do you have time to come to my place today? Isn't the Ghost Festival a busy time?"

"What's wrong? I'm not allowed to take a vacation if you're lazy?" You Ji drank the wine in the can, crushed it and threw it into the trash can by the wall.

Ajiao then said: "In fact, the two of us have long planned to go on a trip. You Ji has been thinking about you all the time, so we decided to come here."

"I didn't! It's my wife who misses you." You Ji rolled his eyes.

Taking advantage of You Ji's time to go to the bathroom, Ajiao leaned sideways in front of Jiang Xiao and asked him in a low voice, "Jiang sir, how are you all these days?"

Jiang Miao nodded: "Also... OK?"

Seeing that Jiang Miao didn't like it, Ah Jiao made her words more obvious: "What I mean is, when will we have your wedding wine?"

"Cough cough cough—!" Jiang Xiao almost spit out the wine in his mouth, and the cigarette butt in his hand trembled, and most of the ash fell off.

"This... 嗐! They are all stupid things, I don't care about them, ahem, I don't care." Jiang Xiao unnaturally shifted his eyes to other places while talking, but there was a ball on his face. Unnatural flush.

That night, Jiang Miao arranged You Ji and A Jiao to live in the guest room on the second floor of the tavern, and returned to the lobby by himself.He turned his head and glanced at the clock behind the bar, then dimmed the lights a bit, turned on the TV, drank and waited boredly for Xichi to come back.

A singer talent show was playing on the TV, and the song Jiang Xiao in it had been heard before, so it seemed that it was a rerun.He yawned, and his half-drooped eyes were faintly tired.

Recently, Xichi always comes back very late, and every time he asks him where he has been, he always answers vaguely.Jiang Miao didn't believe that he would go out to make trouble, after all, in this remote place, even if the other party wanted to, there would be no chance.He was just worried that Brother Xiaohua had encountered some trouble, but he didn't tell himself.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the messy thoughts in Jiang Xiao's mind went around a few times, and they gradually stuck together and became heavier and heavier.Just when he was about to fall asleep, the door of the tavern was gently pushed open again, and a humid air that only belonged to the middle of the night poured in, and Jiang Miao woke up instantly.

"Are you back?" Jiang Miao, who had just woken up, spoke in a nasal voice. He sniffed and shook his numb hands, poured a glass of dried water and pushed it in front of Qichi, "You Ji and Ajiao are here. Yes, the guest room upstairs. You..." Jiang Xiao suddenly paused in the middle of speaking, then leaned close to Qichi's shirt and sniffed, squinting slightly and said, "It smells so good, bodhi flower?"

"I'll take you somewhere." Qi Chi said something in a low voice, then took Jiang Miao's coat by the door and put it on for him.

Jiang Miao looked at Qi Chi silently for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and followed him out of the tavern.The two walked along the winding path towards the depths of the valley, with insects singing and running water gurgling along the way.

As the destination got closer and closer, the sky showed signs of turning white.The water-blue morning star flickered faintly, and the quiet fragrance in the air became more and more obvious.

"This is..." Jiang Miao suddenly stopped, looking at the scene in front of him with dazed eyes.

Following his gaze, he saw a huge bodhi tree standing under the starlight.The trees are full of flowers blooming, slowly falling with the slightly damp breeze.Below the tree is a small fenced yard, and the mossy stone road extends all the way to the front of the hut in the middle.

Jiang Miao pushed Chai Fei away in a daze, and walked to the front of the house.Through the window, he saw candles flickering in the middle, red curtains were hung on the carved wooden bed with exquisite patterns, and an altar of aged flower carvings and two exquisite wine glasses were placed in front of the table.

Jiang Miao felt that his cheeks were burning hot at this moment, he smiled awkwardly, lowered his head to touch the cigarette in his pocket, but failed to light it several times because of nervousness.He cursed in a low voice, but didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the people around him.

The hand was held up again by the man, and the fingers suddenly felt cold. Jiang Xiao subconsciously looked at his ring finger, and saw a Bodhi flower-shaped ring was on his finger.And the hands holding him also wore the same ring.

"You are...I..." Jiang Miao was at a loss for words, desperately trying to control his beating heart and organize his words.In my heart, I kept yelling at myself for being worthless.

The other party knelt down on one knee, warm lips pressed against the ring on Jiang Xiao's ring finger, and kissed.

"Jiang Xiao, marry me."

Following the man's deep voice, Jiang Miao could only feel a hot current rushing from the depths of his heart to the top of his head with lightning, and then exploded into countless fireworks, making his ears buzz and his scalp Numb.

"I..." Jiang Miao swallowed, still dazed with probably the silliest expression in his life.

"Marry me." Another pious request.

Jiang Miao took a deep breath and stabilized his trembling voice.

Another bodhi flower fell, and after a long time, an inaudible answer came from the depths of the valley.

"Um……"

The hibiscus tent is warm, and it's a spring night.

Good morning, my love.
