My Tenant is a Female Ghost
The Seven-Colored Jade Stone had been borrowed by Zhang Lao, and the applause that erupted in the venue felt like it was striking Leng Xuanhe's face, filled with drama. At this moment, people had long since thrown Leng Xuanhe's so-called crown to the far corners of the world.
With a sullen expression, Leng Xuanhe left the venue early. On stage, accompanied by music, Yang Liu led Bai Zhuo in a social dance, and the atmosphere of the banquet became lively again. Everyone seemed to tacitly acknowledge that Bai Zhuo was the son-in-law of the Yang family, and they all congratulated him, leaving Bai Zhuo feeling quite embarrassed on stage.
Once the birthday celebrant cut the first piece of cake, the banquet finally got into full swing. As one of the main characters of the evening, Bai Zhuo couldn't avoid some socializing. Huang Jiangliu and Hu Fei were well aware of Bai Zhuo's background and approached him with teasing remarks. Huang Jiangliu especially joked, "While it's a traditional culture in Chinese feudal history for men to have multiple wives, Mr. Bai should still take care of his health!"
Bai Zhuo was speechless; fortunately, everyone was familiar with each other, and a few jokes were harmless. After Huang Jiangliu and Hu Fei left, Bai Zhuo met several old acquaintances in succession. One was Cao Xuan, Cao Yu's brother; another was Ning Chen, Ning Lan's brother; and there was also Zhu Cong, whom he had met by chance.
Upon seeing Cao Xuan, Bai Zhuo couldn't help but think of the aloof Cao Yu, feeling uncomfortable all over. Ning Chen had replaced his partner Peng Lulu with Nie Qian, indicating that he had successfully won over Nie Qian. In Bai Zhuo's eyes, they made a good couple. Zhu Cong asked Bai Zhuo several questions about the Seven-Colored Jade Stone before hastily leaving. Everything seemed orderly; however, when he thought of Ge Shui Lian, he still felt a pang of discomfort.
Could this be the peach blossom calamity that fortune teller mentioned this morning?
At the banquet, many leading business figures chatted among themselves and took the opportunity to finalize various business matters as the evening came to a close with beautiful music. Only Miao Long, Bai Zhuo, and Yang Liu's family remained. Yang's Father and Yang's Mother were discussing some matters with their relatives and seemed to have settled several business deals.
Yang Liu pulled Bai Zhuo outside. "Come with me to the restroom," she said.
As they walked, Bai Zhuo asked, "You should explain what all that fuss was about tonight. By the way, you looked quite beautiful in that wedding dress."
"What do you mean I looked quite beautiful?" Yang Liu stopped and struck a graceful pose. "I am naturally beautiful; I look good in anything!"
"Look at you being so full of yourself!" Bai Zhuo retorted. "You think you're that great? You're at best a village flower!"
"Pfft... village flower..." Yang Liu laughed at Bai Zhuo's teasing and tried to suppress her giggles. "I am a campus beauty! Do you understand what that means?"
"Alright, alright, you're beautiful," Bai Zhuo conceded. "But seriously, what was all that commotion about tonight?"
Yang Liu frowned slightly. "Do you know? Ever since my parents returned home, there have been countless matchmakers coming for me—at least eighty if not a hundred! My yard is almost trampled flat."
"So you're using me as a shield again?" Bai Zhuo said indignantly.
"Ah, what do you mean by 'again'? What do you mean by 'shield'? That's so harsh!" Yang Liu pouted playfully. "Among all the boys I know, you're the only one who truly understands me and treats me as a real friend. If you don't help me, who will? Besides... if it comes to it, I wouldn't mind letting you take advantage a little."
Bai Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he feigned anger as he retorted, "What do you mean by taking advantage? Am I that kind of person?"
Yang Liu's expression turned shy as she whispered, "Do you know? Your 'Great Music of Yin and Yang' has already made some progress!"
"So soon?" Bai Zhuo found it hard to believe and then asked curiously, "What does that have to do with tonight's events?"
Yang Liu's cheeks flushed slightly. "Of course, it's about establishing a relationship. This Great Music requires both men and women to practice together, right? Are you going to make me find a stranger to do that?"
Most men are creatures who think with their lower bodies, and having tasted the pleasures of love, Bai Zhuo was no exception. His breathing quickened, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed hard, stammering, "Shouldn't you find your boyfriend or husband for something like this?"
Yang Liu pouted her lips. "Aren't you my boyfriend?"
"That's... that's fake! Isn't that just pretend...?"
Yang Liu pressed closer. "So are you going to take advantage of this or not? If not, I'm really going to find someone else."
"I will! It would be foolish not to take advantage!" A flicker of red flashed in Bai Zhuo's eyes as he lowered his voice and shouted. Yang Liu was momentarily stunned before revealing a shy smile. "I know this might put you in a tough spot. I'll explain things to Ouyang Dean and Ge Shui Lian... You don't have to take responsibility..."
Just like that? Bai Zhuo felt a twinge of unease but quickly relaxed—after all, Yang Liu was being so straightforward about it. He had no girlfriend and no engagement; why should he hesitate?
"But do you have any specific leads on that book?" Bai Zhuo asked.
Yang Liu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking enchanting. "Well, my father used a lot of resources to get this information. I heard that there's a family in Jiangnan Ningcheng who inquired about this book in Tibet."
"Is that it?" Bai Zhuo said disappointedly. "That's hardly any news at all."
"I'm not done yet," Yang Liu continued. "My dad also found out that someone from our country has been buying up a large number of ancient texts in Paris. We suspect that this Great Music might be among them."
"Is it really that coincidental?" Bai Zhuo asked eagerly. "Do we have any leads on who bought them?"
After hearing this, Yang Liu's cheeks went from slightly red to bright crimson as she exclaimed, "Are you really that eager?"
Bai Zhuo also felt his face heat up and retorted, "I'm just thinking of your well-being! With your Nine Profound Yin Body, the sooner we treat it, the better!"
"Hmph, who would believe you? I need to go to the bathroom!"
Bai Zhuo joked, "With that big wedding dress of yours, is it convenient? Do you want me to help you carry it?"
To his surprise, Yang Liu replied, "Of course I need you to help me carry it! Otherwise, why would I call you?"
"Ah?" Bai Zhuo stood there in a daze until Yang Liu called for him, snapping him back to reality.
This was Bai Zhuo's first time entering a women's restroom. Fortunately, there were no other girls inside; otherwise, it would have been incredibly awkward. Yang Liu lifted her skirt and said, "Just stand outside and hold it for me."
However, once Yang Liu entered the restroom, she realized her plan might have been a bit too optimistic. The pleated wedding dress was layered upon layered; although it was thick, it was still short! But with her urgent need to relieve herself, she had no choice but to let Bai Zhuo stand inside the restroom facing her.
Well, she thought to herself, let's consider this a practice run.
The sound of water trickling came from beneath Yang Liu's skirt. Despite the thick wedding dress covering her lower half, it did not hinder Bai Zhuo's hearing or his imagination about what was happening below. The youthful Bai Zhuo found himself embarrassingly aroused in front of the girl.
