Chapter 26 For a Long Time

When Qu Yao fled to the room next door, her clothes were still disheveled.

It was not until the moment the door closed that Bai Yihe, who was lying on the bed, revealed an impudent smile. He used his fingers to gently stroke his lips, his gaze fixed on the empty space on the ceiling.

An Er waited outside for a long time before he dared to come in. When he saw Bai Yihe’s smug expression, he could not help but complain, “Yo, what good thing did you get that you’re so happy? Could it be that you picked up a goddess for nothing?”

Bai Yihe stopped smiling. “What’s the matter?”

An Er pouted unhappily. “Having a goddess is so different. You’ve learned to change your expression.” He did not continue to complain, but instead told him in detail about Qu Yao’s recent movements.

“The Faceless Ghost has been trying to lure that water ghost out of the Black Lake for the past two days. With his ability to change his expression every now and then, it won’t be long before Qu Fang can’t take it anymore.”

“Got it.”

An Er paused for a moment and finally couldn’t help but ask, “You’re the light of heaven and earth. What can’t you see if you want to? Why do you need me to keep an eye on you every day?”

Bai Yihe, “I have other things to do.”

“What Things?”

Bai Yihe’s eyes flashed with a hint of gloominess. “I’m meeting an old friend.”

He tidied up his clothes and reminded An Er, “Remember to prepare a set of keys for Qu Yao in the courtyard.”

An Er looked at him slyly. “Don’t tell me you’re really in love with her?”

Bai Yihe threatened, “Are you bored? Do you need me to pluck your feathers?” An Er quickly slipped away. The invisible crane’s wings were slightly aching. Before he left, he did not forget to scold, “If I’m right, I’ll pluck your hair. Bai Yihe, you can’t afford to play!!”

Anyway, this courtyard was going to be abandoned sooner or later. What was the point of doing so many things?! This kind of person with a human face and the heart of a beast wanted to pull the banner and persuade the goddess to escape quickly!

An Er vented joy in his heart and obediently went out to carry out the mission as usual.

The water ghost was indeed unable to hold it in any longer. Normally, it would go ashore every three to five days to catch people, but ever since it was hit by Qu Yao, it had been hiding under the water for more than ten days.

The Faceless Ghost disguised itself as a fisherman and rowed a small broken boat on the Black Lake every day.

In order to make water ghost believe that he was human, he played extra scenes on the boat every day and cast his net seriously, he kept saying things like ‘Why is the harvest so bad this year?’ and ‘My wife will definitely curse again if she knows that I didn’t catch any fish.’.

The water ghost was getting a headache.

Qu Yao heard the secret message from Crow. Faceless Ghost said that water ghost was coming out soon. Recently, there had been a lot of energy surging underwater. He was probably testing faceless ghost, so he hadn’t made a move yet.

She rushed out of the yard excitedly and bumped into Bai Yihe who had just entered the door.

Bai Yihe staggered and hugged her. “What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Nothing. I just want to go out for a walk.”

He held Qu Yao’s hand. “Don’t go out. I want to show you something good.”

“What is it?”

He pulled Qu Yao into the room and took out a box from his pocket mysteriously. He had given Qu Yao a lot of things, and the accessories on the dressing table were almost too big to fit.

“Don’t tell me it’s the earrings and headdress again?”

She felt that Bai Yihe was really sincere and unoriginal. Looking at his expectant face, Qu Yao did not want to spoil his mood, so she opened the box without any anticipation.

“Two red ropes?”

“Mm, you’re too obedient. You don’t ask for anything from me. I don’t know what you like. It’s as if you can accept anything I give you, but it’s also as if you don’t care about anything I give you.” Bai Yihe looked disappointed. “I don’t know why you suddenly agreed to marry me, but since we’ve become husband and wife, I hope to do my best to take care of you.

“Ever since we got married, I’ve bought everything I can for you. After thinking about it, I’ve never given you a love item, so…”

He took out the red rope from the box and touched Qu Yao’s hand. Qu Yao took the initiative to hand it to him.

“So what?” Qu Yao’s mouth curled into a smile.

“So I went to the marriage temple to ask for this pair of red ropes to bless us to be together for a long time.”
