"Young Hero, my name is Zhan Mei!" The girl exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with excitement.
Xie Bian looked at her, feeling utterly perplexed.
"What do you mean?" Xie Bian continued to ask with a blank expression.
"I'm a vegetable seller," the girl blurted out without thinking.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, she seemed to realize something was off and quickly corrected herself, "No, no, I'm not a vegetable seller."
"Then what are you?" Xie Bian's patience was wearing thin, his tone filled with irritation.
He thought to himself that this girl seemed a bit slow-witted, much like Fan Wu Jiu.
"I... I am a great maiden of the Ruian Dynasty," she stammered, a hint of panic flashing across her face.
Upon hearing this, Xie Bian felt like silently weeping; communicating with her was proving to be quite the challenge.
So he decided to change his approach.
"This is not a place for you. Go back where you came from," he said as he reached out to pull the girl towards the door.
Hearing this, terror instantly spread across her face. She clung desperately to the door, shouting loudly, "Help! Help! The Young Hero has turned into a demon from the evil cult!"
Outside Xie Bian's house, King Qin Guang, Judge Cui, and Fan Wu Jiu suddenly appeared.
"Is there a new development in the story?" King Qin Guang whispered to Judge Cui.
Just as Judge Cui was about to respond, he was met with a sharp glare from Xie Bian, causing him to crouch down immediately and start drawing circles on the ground, too frightened to speak further.
Seeing the newcomers, the girl quickly called out for help, "Three young heroes, save me! There's a new development in the story. If you save me, I'll tell you." She winked, trying to pique their interest.
The three men turned their attention to Xie Bian in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Xie Bian looked at the four of them and felt as if they came from entirely different worlds, filled with helplessness and despair.
In any case, the girl ended up staying behind, remaining in Xie Bian's courtyard.
For the next month, scenes like this became common in Difu: the girl frolicked like a cheerful little sprite, playing with the big and small ghosts, while Xie Bian quietly ate his meals on the side, lost in thought about life.
In truth, Xie Bian was grappling with a serious issue—one so grave that he could hardly eat the rations distributed by Difu.
As he wrestled with his thoughts, he munched on spicy ribs. He mused that the ribs were quite well made, flavorful and aromatic. The braised beef tendons from yesterday were also chewy, and the lamb chops from the day before—delicious!
Xie Bian stared expressionlessly at his meal, yet his chopsticks moved swiftly as he devoured his food, as if only delicious dishes could temporarily soothe his restless heart.
The girl ran breathlessly to Xie Bian's side, her face flushed from exertion. With a carefree smile, she said, "Bian Bian, King Qin Guang said I should move in with him. What do you think I should do..."
"No way." Before the girl could finish her sentence, Xie Bian interrupted her loudly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
He thought to himself, is there really someone who digs at others' foundations like this? Is this what it means to be a leader? Is this how one steals a brother's woman? If she leaves, what will I eat in the future? I definitely won't be able to eat well or sleep soundly!
Xie Bian scorned King Qin Guang in his heart and increased the speed at which he was eating.
Wait, what does it mean by a brother's woman? Huh? Suddenly, Xie Bian seemed to have an epiphany.
There’s a saying, isn’t there? To win a woman's heart, you must win her stomach. That sounds about right. Yes, it must be that way.
As he pondered this, Xie Bian unconsciously nodded.
"But King Qin Guang said..." The girl tried to argue again.
Suddenly, Xie Bian threw down his chopsticks, stood up, and slowly leaned toward the girl.
Startled by his sudden movement, the girl widened her eyes and looked at him nervously.
Xie Bian gently kissed her forehead, a fleeting touch like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water.
"Alright, you belong to me now." After saying this, Xie Bian seemed to realize that his action was a bit abrupt; he lowered his head shyly, his ears turning slightly red.
