Chapter 224 The Price of Unhygienic Practices
Seeing the mocking smile in the other person's eyes, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry. She jumped onto the bed in a flash, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and closed her eyes.
She brought it up herself, yet he still pretended to be reserved.
You scoundrel, I'll replace you one day!
Ye Jingke took off his bathrobe, pounced on Cheng Ai, embraced her fragrant body, and gently kissed her.
However, he stopped just as he was getting to the last step.
Cheng Ai opened her almond-shaped eyes groggily and nuzzled against his chest, not understanding why.
Ye Jingke cupped her face in his hands and gently kissed her lips, "We have to rush back to Lantern Village tomorrow morning. Sex is tiring. How about we do it on the weekend?"
Cheng Ai raised her limp arm and blinked, "Pinky promise."
Ye Jingke smiled and hooked her little finger around hers. "You worked hard cooking. Be good and rest. I'm going to take a shower first."
When he came out of the bathroom, Cheng Ai was fast asleep. He smiled, turned off the light, and sat on the sofa to continue working.
Although the company terminated its contract with Xunliao Beauty Salon, its profits are still steadily increasing.
It is estimated that it will not be long before Shengding International will be able to return to its peak.
In the quiet of the night, a cool breeze was blowing through Lantern Village.
Liao Yunyan glanced at the sleeping Liao Yunqing, put on her coat, and tiptoed out of the room.
She looked around cautiously, took the box from an old man who was already waiting at the village entrance, and whispered, afraid of waking the photographer in the tent, "Is this thing useful? The illegitimate daughter of the Cheng family also knows mystical arts. If we're discovered, I'm finished!"
The old man was full of confidence: "The potion I researched is so potent that even immortals can't do anything about it, let alone a mere mortal like her."
"That's good!" Liao Yunyan hugged the box tightly and turned to leave, but was stopped. "Lantern Village has been quite unsettled in recent years. You must be careful."
She frowned and held out her hand unhappily, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Hurry up and give me a few more life-saving talismans."
Seeing that the other party neither moved nor made a statement, Liao Yunyan immediately took out her phone and frantically operated it, "The money has been transferred, can you give it to me now?"
The old man chuckled softly and quickly pulled out ten talismans. "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Miss Liao."
Liao Yunyan snorted coldly, waved her hand, and strode back the way she came.
The old man glanced at the white lanterns hanging on both sides of the village entrance and quietly left.
At the same moment, Xie Qing's photographer, Fang Huan, crawled out of the tent, walked dazedly to the wall, and urinated.
He definitely wouldn't have gotten up at night if he hadn't drunk too much water at dinner and couldn't hold it in.
After a burst of running water, Fang Huan shook himself off, yawned repeatedly, and pulled up his pants.
The next second, a bone-chilling wind swept in, and he shivered, hugging his arms, his sleepiness instantly vanishing.
"Big brother, why are you peeing everywhere? It's so dirty!"
"Little Rou, you're such a fool. There's plenty of time to play during the day, but you had to choose the middle of the night."
"Xiaoyu is the stupid one. We're doomed if we're out in the light; we can only party at night!"
Fang Huan stared intently at the two little girls who had suddenly appeared in front of her, her face filled with terror.
He had just looked around and there was no one there, so where did the two of them come from?
After arguing, Xiaorou and Xiaoyu looked up at Fang Huan in unison and said, "You're unhygienic!"
Fang Huan's body trembled, his eyes widened, and he wanted to run away, but his feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't move them an inch no matter how hard he tried.
Seeing the two little girls glaring at him angrily, he swallowed hard, slowly reached his right hand into his pocket, and confessed tremblingly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have drunk the water, shouldn't have urinated, shouldn't have dirtied the ground. I deserve to die. I promise I will never do it again!"
Xiaoyu, whose hair was tied in a topknot, asked the person next to her, "Should we forgive him?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Rou with short hair shook her head. "No one can break the rules of Lantern Village, or the village chief will get angry!"
The two girls exchanged a glance, their necks suddenly stretching until their eyes were level with Fang Huan's head, and said in unison again, "You really deserve to die!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they opened their blood-red mouths and forcefully swallowed and bit down.
Fang Huan gritted his teeth and recklessly pulled out a defensive talisman and threw it out.
My inner voice screamed, "Teacher Cheng, help me!"
In an instant, a blue protective shield enveloped him, knocking out the teeth of the two little girls, who then mysteriously vanished.
Fang Huan was taken aback and tentatively lifted her foot.
Realizing his movements were no longer restricted, he ran towards the tent, screaming, "Brothers... there's a ghost... there's a ghost..."
The other five photographers peeked out, looking puzzled.
Fang Huan crawled into Pei Yongyang's tent, where he was responsible for filming Qin Meilian.
He recounted what had just happened, and Jiang Liangwen, the photographer from Nanchuan, initially didn't believe him and insisted on going out to check.
Not long after, it came running back like a screaming chicken, seemingly oblivious to its own danger.
The six photographers dared not cause any more trouble, so they all retreated back into the tent, closed their eyes, and forced themselves to sleep.
Those who had talismans clutched them tightly, while those who didn't held onto the sleeves of those who did, comforting each other as they waited for dawn.
At 10 a.m., the sun was shining brightly, and wispy clouds like willow catkins hung in the sky, a sight that was unbelievably beautiful.
Ye Jingke and Cheng Ai rushed back to Lantern Village from the Imperial Manor to meet up with the other four guests.
The photographers appeared one by one, looking listless, pale-faced, and trembling.
Cheng Ai raised an eyebrow with interest. "What? The defensive talisman failed?"
The photographers, once they started talking, chattered on and on, turning the quiet courtyard into a bustling hubbub.
Zhong Zheyi and Xie Qing also had a rough night. They both heard crying, and although the defensive talisman was still there, they didn't sleep well either.
After everyone finished venting their grievances, they stared expectantly at Cheng Ai, who coughed twice and led them to the village entrance.
She glanced sideways, gesturing for Wang Huan and Jiang Liangwen to look at the portraits on the white lanterns. "Were these the two little girls you met?"
The two looked up, and within a second, their eyes widened without them even realizing it, and they said at the same time:
"The one with the short hair is Xiaorou!"
"The one with the braids is Xiaoyu!"
Wang Huan glanced at Jiang Liangwen and continued, "Their necks can extend and retract freely, and their mouths can open as wide as their heads. If I hadn't used a defensive talisman, I would have lost my head!"
Cheng Ai drew a lot of talismans this morning and generously took them out to distribute to everyone, except for Liao Yunyan.
"Don't leave your room or tent at night. If you need to urinate, put it in a bottle. If you need to defecate, put it in a plastic bag. If there are special circumstances, use a talisman."
She thought for a moment and added, "You can use your phone to watch dramas, browse videos, and watch live streams, but you can't contact the outside world, nor can you damage a single blade of grass, tree, or piece of soil in Lantern Village. The variety show will proceed as planned, and you must not back down at the last minute, lest you break a rule of Lantern Village and lose your life."
The photographers readily agreed and hurried to the shed where the equipment was stored. They picked up their cameras, adjusted the focus, and began working.
Liao Yunyan sneered, a sinister and mocking glint in her eyes, "They listen to whatever others say, what a bunch of spineless lackeys."
