Chapter 221
The older man nodded in satisfaction. “Exactly. That’s more like it.”
The pressure around Fu Yiming sank even lower, and his expression darkened.
“Yun Youyou, what are you trying to do?”
Yun Youyou didn’t answer. Instead, she made a complicated series of hand gestures as though casting a spell.
“First move: My fate is mine, not heaven’s!”
Everyone’s gaze gathered on Yun Youyou.
Calmly, she picked up a potted Cactus nearby.
She plucked out one spine. “Fight.”
Then another. “Don’t fight.”
“Fight.”
“Don’t fight.”
……
Just as everyone’s patience was about to run out, the tiny Cactus finally had only two spines left.
Yun Youyou plucked out the second-to-last spine. “Don’t fight.”
Then the final spine. “Still don’t fight.”
Jiang Mixue said, “…Then what was the point of plucking all the spines off that Cactus?”
Yun Youyou set down the pitiful Cactus.
“Of course there was a point. This is what it means for my fate to be mine, not heaven’s!”
Under Fu Yiming’s speechless gaze, Yun Youyou cleared her throat.
“You’re lucky today, so you’ve escaped disaster. The next time you meet me, you won’t be so fortunate.”
Jiang Mixue: ……
This was the first time she had seen a ghost so skilled at showing off.
Yun Youyou seized the opportunity and tried to slip away.
Fu Yiming blocked her path.
“But I don’t particularly want to be that fortunate.”
Yun Youyou’s escaping footsteps stopped, and her wickedly charming eyes narrowed.
“Man, you have successfully captured my attention.”
The corner of Fu Yiming’s mouth twitched. “Use all the moves you have.”
Yun Youyou smiled dangerously.
“You had better not regret it.”
Fu Yiming gave her a meaningful look. “Don’t worry. I won’t.”
Yun Youyou spoke confidently.
“Second move: the Oil Attack.”
Fu Yiming asked, “A guerrilla attack?”
Yun Youyou said, “No. Oil as in an oil field.”
Not a single living being present knew what an Oil Attack was.
Yun Youyou suddenly stepped forward and tried to hook a finger beneath Fu Yiming’s chin.
He was a little too tall.
She rose on tiptoe, but it was still tiring.
“Come here.”
Yun Youyou crooked a finger at Jiang Mixue.
Jiang Mixue walked over in confusion.
Yun Youyou instructed Jiang Mixue to lift her up.
Fortunately, Jiang Mixue was quite strong and easily raised Yun Youyou upright.
Now she was high enough.
Yun Youyou looked down at Fu Yiming and smoothly hooked a finger beneath his chin.
Fu Yiming frowned, but he didn’t dodge.
Yun Youyou curved her lips into a smile.
“Man, your body is far more honest than your mouth.”
Fu Yiming: ……
He tilted his head back, escaping Yun Youyou’s hand.
“What are you doing?”
Yun Youyou withdrew her hand and slickly ran it through her hair.
“If you keep this up, I can’t guarantee what might happen.”
Fu Yiming said, “…Act normal.”
Yun Youyou said, “Hah. No man has ever dared reject me before. You’re the first.”
She even sniffed the air and revealed an intoxicated expression.
“Man, you smell sinfully sweet.”
Fu Yiming felt terrible all over.
She really was a pervert.
Fu Yiming turned to leave.
Yun Youyou planted one hand against the wall behind him, trapping him in the corner.
This was the first time in Fu Yiming’s life that someone had pinned him against a wall.
Yun Youyou’s eerie voice drifted over.
“You can never escape from the palm of my hand.”
When Fu Yiming tried to leave from the other side, Yun Youyou quickly switched arms and smiled at him indulgently.
“You maddening little minx. I won’t let you leave.”
Fu Yiming: ……
His ears felt filthy.
It was as though some pervert were frantically pouring grease into them.
So this was the Oil Attack. It really was formidable.
Jiang Mixue was starting to lose her grip.
Yun Youyou was still immersed in her lines.
“You started this fire, so you have to–”
At that moment, Jiang Mixue finally couldn’t hold on any longer.
The two ghosts lost their balance and toppled forward together.
Yun Youyou landed on top of Fu Yiming with a horrified expression.
Fu Yiming suffered an unprovoked disaster and was crushed at the bottom.
So ghosts had weight too.
The fall left Yun Youyou dazed, but fortunately, Fu Yiming had served as a human cushion beneath her.
Even then, she didn’t forget her line.
Yun Youyou climbed off Fu Yiming and smiled dangerously.
“You started this fire, so you put it out.”
Fu Yiming: ……
She was still hung up on that now?
Yun Youyou wandered over to the older man’s side.
“I’ve dealt the Player a devastating blow. I’ll leave the rest to you.”
The older man protested, “What kind of devastating blow was that? What did you devastate?”
Yun Youyou said, “His fragile heart.”
The older man looked at Yun Youyou speechlessly.
Yun Youyou asked, “You don’t believe me?”
She shouted across the distance to Fu Yiming, “Has your fragile heart suffered any trauma?”
Fu Yiming neither nodded nor shook his head.
Yun Youyou threatened, “Want me to say a few more lines?”
Fu Yiming finally gave a tiny nod.
Yun Youyou spread her hands at the older man.
“See? I told you.”
The older man said bitterly, “That was coercion!”
Yun Youyou said, “No. It was patient guidance.”
The older man still didn’t want to let Yun Youyou leave so easily.
He wasn’t completely confident he could defeat Fu Yiming.
Yun Youyou shook her head helplessly.
“I indulge you so much. What more do you want?”
The older man said, “…No. We’re on the same side. We act together.”
Yun Youyou sighed indulgently.
“I really can’t do anything with you.”
The older man felt uncomfortable all over.
No matter what, even if he couldn’t win today, he had to force himself to fight.
He roared, and every muscle in his body instantly swelled several dozen times over.
His white shirt burst apart.
Jiang Mixue nodded firmly. “He’s a muscular hunk too.”
Yun Youyou said, “Such firm meat.”
Jiang Mixue: ……
Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were buying meat at a market.
Fu Yiming still looked completely unruffled.
Yun Youyou said, “An expert. He has to be an expert.”
The older man swung a fist at Fu Yiming.
Fu Yiming neither dodged nor retreated. He simply raised a hand and caught the fist.
The two began wrestling for strength.
The older man bared his teeth, blue veins bulging across his forehead.
Only at the beginning did Fu Yiming’s feet slide back slightly. After that, he stood firmly in place.
Yun Youyou shook her head.
“The older man is no good. Once you get old, you just can’t compete with the young.”
The older man was already nearing exhaustion.
When he heard Yun Youyou mocking him from the sidelines, he shouted irritably, “What are you standing there for? Hurry over and help me!”
“All right. No problem.”
Yun Youyou immediately scampered over.
She diligently wiped the sweat from the older man’s head with a towel, then used a fan to cool him.
The few hairs remaining on the older man’s head fluttered in the breeze.
