Chapter 485 Unexpected Innocence
"I've already set up the stage, so naturally I'm here to watch the show."
As soon as he finished speaking, the steam in the teacup on the table dissipated, revealing Qingqing's figure inside.
Because the teacup was too small, the more Jade tried to see Cheng Feng's face clearly, the closer she got to him.
"How amazing, it's a third-person perspective! Move to the side, I'll move my chair over here."
Whether man or woman, no one can resist the temptation of gossip and watching the excitement.
He excitedly brought over a chair, sat down next to Cheng Feng, and squeezed in to get a better view.
"What is she doing?"
Jade, seeing Qingqing sitting there blankly in the picture, asked with a hint of doubt.
Cheng Feng opened the Ice Soul Divine Feather Fan, fanning himself as he said:
"She is fighting against her instincts."
Because of her love for her husband and her attachment to her family, Qingqing refused to accept the fact that she was dead.
Therefore, some circumstances related to this fact were also distorted into other things by her subconscious.
For example, the female ghost named Yan Yan, and the funeral I encountered when I went to the cemetery to deliver clothes.
During the funeral ceremony, her husband walked at the front, holding a portrait of her in his hands.
But Qingqing doesn't believe she's dead, so her memory becomes blurred, and she deliberately forgets the person holding her portrait.
The person in the photo has also changed to Yan Yan.
"The yellow talisman you gave her can remind her that she is already dead, so her subconscious is rejecting it,"
After learning the truth, Jade quickly understood Qingqing's current state.
I had high expectations for how things would develop.
Time ticked by, and neither of the onlookers seemed bored; they were both intently watching Qingqing.
Every change in her expression sparks discussion.
"Seriously, aren't we going a bit too far? Is it really okay to pry into someone's privacy like this?"
Suddenly, Jade's morality took over, and a sense of guilt arose in her heart.
Cheng Feng closed his fan and clapped it in his palm.
"Indeed, it's a bit unethical to do this. I'll bear the inner torment myself and won't drag you into it."
After saying that, Cheng Feng waved his hand to disperse the reflection in the teacup, then closed his eyes and lay down on the chair.
Jade's eyes were filled with reluctance. She opened her mouth, but said nothing.
After a while, Cheng Feng remained sitting there with his eyes closed, saying nothing, but the fan in his hand kept swaying, making it easy to see that he was watching the excitement.
Emerald held her phone, but her eyes kept glancing at Cheng Feng, her lips pursed as if she was in a bad mood.
"Her husband is home!"
Cheng Feng muttered something to himself.
Emerald's little face fell. Her curiosity turned into a kitten's, scratching at her heart, but she felt a little ashamed to go back on her word, which she had made an immoral suggestion.
Just a few minutes later, Cheng Feng spoke again:
"What will she choose? Will she let her husband throw the talisman away, or will she burn it immediately and use it?"
"Cheng Feng, you mean-spirited person, you deliberately bullied me, I hate you so much."
Jade couldn't hold back any longer. She got up, went to Cheng Feng's side, grabbed his arm, and shook him back and forth.
Cheng Feng reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at Emerald. In that instant, Emerald clearly saw the shadows of Qingqing and a strange man in Cheng Feng's pupils.
"You can't just watch the drama unfold by yourself, I want to see it too!"
Jade withdrew her hand, pouting and huffing.
"No, I cannot put you in an unjust position."
Cheng Feng closed his eyes and rejected Jade's request, while a slight upturn of his lips.
"Actually... my moral standards aren't that high either. We're partners, so we could be accomplices, right?"
After breaking through that barrier, Jade completely dropped her pretense and started pestering everyone to join in the fun.
"You really want to see it?"
Cheng Feng asked with his eyes closed.
"miss you!"
A decisive answer.
Cheng Feng opened his eyes again and looked at Emerald:
"I'll give you three seconds to act cute, and I'll say yes."
"what?"
Jade opened her small mouth in disbelief, and then saw Cheng Feng raise one finger, which quickly turned into two.
Just as Cheng Feng shook his head, Emerald gritted her teeth, curled her hands up and pressed them against her chin, and pouted at Cheng Feng, trying to look cute.

The sound of the phone taking a picture startled Jade, and she quickly put her hand down.
"you……"
Jade pointed at Cheng Feng with a look of utter despair, her heart pounding with anger.
"Not bad, quite cute, you pass."
Cheng Feng picked up his phone, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"I must have committed a terrible sin in my past life to meet you in this one."
Jade felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about how cute she had just acted, especially since Cheng Feng had taken a picture of it.
"Do you still want to watch? The plot won't wait for anyone!"
"Nonsense, I've already made such a big sacrifice, if I don't watch it, wouldn't I be letting you take advantage of me for nothing?"
Emerald pulled over a chair and sat down next to Cheng Feng.
This time, Cheng Feng didn't cause any more trouble. Under Emerald's watchful gaze, he picked up his teacup and splashed it onto the wall in front of him.
Clear water flows onto the wall, and amazingly, the water seems to wriggle on the wall as if it were alive.
Before long, a square water curtain with a diameter of more than one meter was formed.
Soon Emerald saw the familiar Qingqing, and her husband.
"This must be the 'Circle Light Technique,' I heard it's been lost for many years."
Since the appearance of the "Ten Rules of Taoism," the art of circling the light, along with possession, summoning generals, spirit possession, and spirit writing, has been listed as taboo. Afterwards, the art of circling the light was relegated to the status of unorthodox and heretical practices.
This magic technique was lost to the common people after many years of transmission, during which time it was often lost due to wars and natural disasters.
I had only ever seen jade in books, but I never expected to witness this magic with my own eyes today in Cheng Feng's place.
"Miss Jade is knowledgeable and well-informed, but unfortunately, it's all just theoretical knowledge."
Cheng Feng's taunts did not cause any emotional fluctuation in Jade. She had experienced even more devastating attacks before, so what was this little bit of a blow?
Not wanting to talk to Cheng Feng, Emerald turned her head to focus on eating melons.
At this moment in the scene, Qingqing, with tears in her eyes, takes the talisman from her husband's hand.
He then lit it without hesitation.
A gentle breeze ruffled her green hair, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.
"So I was already dead. Now I'm... a ghost."
At this moment, Qingqing's husband pulled her into his arms, his eyes reddening and his voice choked with emotion.
"I don't care, you are my wife. Whether you are human or ghost, I will stay with you."
Qingqing's tears fell uncontrollably, her eyes filled with guilt and reluctance.
She felt guilty for clinging to her husband's warmth in her ghost form and was reluctant to leave this loving family.
She raised her hand to stroke her husband's cheek, her voice trembling as she said:
"You must have paid a heavy price for us to be together, and I can't selfishly drag you down."
"No, you are not a burden. Without you, what is the point of my life? If you cannot live, I cannot die."
The man held his wife tightly in his arms, his love for her transforming into an endless obsession.
At this moment, Emerald's eyes, which were watching all this through the magic of the round light, couldn't help but redden. How could a young girl like her resist such pure emotions?
"It's so touching. Why did this car accident have to happen, separating this loving couple forever?"
"That's why some people compare reality to hell. Birth, old age, sickness, death, being with those you hate, being separated from those you love, not getting what you want—life is about finding joy in suffering."
Cheng Feng was also filled with emotion. Fortunately, he had long since stopped being human, otherwise he would have been unable to escape the suffering of this world sooner or later.
In the scene, the man takes out rhinoceros horn incense, lights it, and places it on the coffee table.
“We still have rhinoceros horn incense. Ancient books record that burning rhinoceros horn can break the boundary between life and death. We still have a lot of time.”
"Rhinoceros horn fragrance..."
Qingqing then remembered Cheng Feng, quickly wiped away her tears, got up, and retrieved the things Cheng Feng had given her.
"Honey, look at this, isn't this the rhinoceros horn incense you mentioned?"
Su Yue held Qingqing's hand, then nodded and said:
"Yes, wife, where did you get this rhinoceros horn incense?"
Qingqing recounted how she took shelter from the rain at the convenience store and bumped into Cheng Feng, and she didn't forget Cheng Feng's instructions at the end.
Have her husband transfer the money.
Su Yue put his arm around his wife's shoulder and sighed, saying:
"Rhinoceros horn incense is now extremely rare and expensive; even with money, it's hard to buy. The fact that they were willing to sell it to us is already a great favor. We'll go and pay them a visit to express our gratitude another day."
Inside the circular light technique, the couple's emotions calmed down, and outside, the jadeite also gradually calmed its turbulent emotions.
She noticed what Su Yue said, and then looked at Cheng Feng with her bright red eyes.
How much can that rhinoceros horn incense sell for?
"Even if you break a bone, my piece would still cost ten thousand yuan per gram."
She looked at the jadeite with envy, and although she hadn't handled the rhinoceros horn, a quick glance told her it definitely weighed over 300 grams.
No wonder Cheng Feng lives in a villa and drives luxury cars; he can just casually pick up such valuable treasures.
"Cheng Feng, congratulations on your fortune!"
A gentle smile appeared on Emerald's face, and her big eyes blinked at Cheng Feng.
"I wouldn't say I've gotten rich, it's just that I've had a little more pocket money."
Cheng Feng waved his hand casually.
Faced with such extravagant and unrestrained words, Emerald was filled with envy; she also longed to be so carefree one day.
"I will achieve financial freedom sooner or later, and then I will buy a sea-view villa."
"Talking is useless; the key is to manage our Weibo and Baidu Tieba well."
Jade wrinkled her nose and said indignantly:
"You have the nerve to say that? You're such a hands-off manager, you even make me run your own Weibo account."
As the two were talking, the situation within the circular light spell changed.
The couple's love was so intense that the atmosphere became increasingly intimate, and they had already started performing artificial respiration.
Jade glanced at it, then her face turned bright red, and she quickly exclaimed:
"Turn it off right now, you're not allowed to watch anymore!"
Cheng Feng coughed lightly and casually dispelled the circular light spell, causing the water on the wall to splash onto the ground.
If I keep watching, I'll really become a despicable person; I still have that much of a low moral character.
"No wonder the Round Light Technique was banned; it really can easily affect one's Dao heart."
Cheng Feng spoke up to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Jade remained silent, only covering her face with her hands. Unfortunately, she saw in the last scene that a hand lifted the hem of her skirt.
"I really don't understand where all those novels you've been reading have gone."
Cheng Feng thought that Emerald, who was always on her phone reading BL novels, was a seasoned BL fan, but she turned out to be surprisingly innocent.
If the scene hadn't been so shocking, she would definitely have spoken out in her defense.
The things she read were all pure love stories without any explicit content; the most explicit thing she had ever seen in her life was kissing and hugging.
Even a single glance between the male lead and the male supporting character could excite her for a long time.
That night, Emerald transformed into an ostrich, burying her head in the sand and swallowing her inner shyness alone.
Even the next morning, when Cheng Feng drove her home, a slight embarrassment lingered.
Cheng Feng also noticed the girl's innocence, so he didn't bring up the matter again.
After dropping off the jade at the entrance of her apartment building, and watching her quickly walk into the building, I turned the car around and drove away.
Back home, Emerald threw her shoes aside and collapsed onto the sofa, sobbing for a long time.
During this time, he kept muttering things like, "This is too exciting!" and "How embarrassing!"
If Cheng Feng weren't around, he would definitely have said something like, "Look at you, so pathetic! You can't even handle the beginning!"
If everyone could see the whole thing, wouldn't there be a massive flood?
On the other side, Cheng Feng stopped when he passed by the morning market, strolled around inside, and finally came out carrying large and small bags of fruit.
He placed it in the passenger seat, got in the car, and started the engine.
While waiting for the car in front to move, I casually took two oranges out of my pocket.
As you slowly peel it open, the refreshing scent of oranges fills the car.
After the car was moved, Cheng Feng finished eating and then drove away from the morning market with the flow of traffic.
When he arrived home, Cheng Feng parked the car in the garage and then opened the door to walk into the living room.
As I was changing my shoes, a girl named Xiaoya, dressed in pajamas and wearing a cute cartoon hair clip, came up to me.
"Honey, you're back. You must be tired after working all night. Sit down and rest."
Cheng Feng let Xiao Ya take off her coat while she was in her pajamas, then reached out and pinched her cheek.
"You always manage to come up with something new."
After sitting down on the sofa, Xiaoya, still in her pajamas, placed a cup of tea in front of Cheng Feng.
At this moment, Xiaoya, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen.
She was carrying two breakfasts, and when she saw Cheng Feng, she called him "husband" sweetly.
As the second Xiaoya placed breakfast on the table, a crisp snap of fingers came from upstairs.
The two little girls vanished instantly, along with their clothes.
"You're back. Have breakfast first, then get some rest."
Cheng Feng looked up at the building. The two people he had just seen were clones, while the real Xiaoya had clearly just woken up and even yawned after speaking.
A few minutes later, the two sat facing each other at the dining table, eating. The window beside them overlooked the ebb and flow of the sea.
Their excellent location allowed them to enjoy their meal while watching the stunning sunrise over the horizon.
"Xiaoya, what are your plans for today?"
Xiaoya across from her shook her head, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said:
"I don't have any plans, but I intend to take your money and go out to splurge. If something comes up, I can postpone my shopping trip for a day."
"That's perfect. When you go out shopping, please pick up some things for me too."
There are some minor spells in unorthodox esoteric arts that target the soul, but they require external objects as a medium to cast.
Xiaoya, being a celestial maiden, had lived on Earth for decades; she must know where to buy these things.
"Sure, what should I bring you?"
"No rush, I'll write you a list after we finish eating, so you won't forget."
Xiaoya had a bad feeling after hearing this; it seemed like this favor might not be easy to do.
