Monster’s offline party

Xiao Leng, in her composed manner, used her backpack to crush the self-punishing ghost to death.

She didn't even mess up her uniform, carrying her backpack, she appeared as a charming high school girl.

Ye Shu and the others exchanged glances, and it was the green-haired one who reacted first, floating in mid-air and laughing heartily, "Xiao Leng, you're amazing. I knew you couldn't lose."

Xiao Leng maintained her indifferent expression, seemingly unaffected by the events.

"I'm hungry," she stated again. Ye Shu snapped back to reality and quickly went to the kitchen, holding the urn of ashes, "Alright, I'll prepare blood rice for you."

Having obtained a treasure, even if there might be consequences in the future, it was currently a significant find. With Xiao Leng around, safety was guaranteed.

Ye Shu was overjoyed, quickly preparing the blood rice and presenting it to Xiao Leng, who took it and walked to the empty balcony. She preferred solitude.

The room was in a mess, with overturned sofas and tables, and many things were damaged by the self-punishing ghost's earlier actions.

Ye Shu looked at the chaotic scene with a headache. It was the second time he had faced such a situation, the first being attacked by wild dogs. Fortunately, both times ended well, thanks to Xiao Leng this time and Aiqier before.

Thinking of Aiqier, Ye Shu's heart sank. Where was his daughter?

He hurriedly checked the bedroom, but she was nowhere to be found. Panic-stricken, he searched the entire house but couldn't locate Aiqier.

Liu Youyou, who was cleaning up the mess, noticed his anxious expression and inquired, "What happened? Why the rush?"

Aiqier was a vampire, and she didn't sleep at night. She was usually well-behaved, but tonight she was missing.

Ye Shu couldn't help but think of the self-punishing ghost. Could it be that...

"Is there anyone else missing from your house?" the green-haired one asked, and the bald one mumbled, "If it's a child without strong yang energy, the self-punishing ghost might have taken her."

Aiqier was a child and a vampire, likely lacking yang energy.

Ye Shu's face turned pale. Just as he worriedly wondered outside the door, he heard a dog barking. Everyone looked, and a large black Tibetan Mastiff entered, carrying a little girl, who turned out to be Aiqier.

Relieved, Ye Shu rushed over and picked up Aiqier, questioning, "Where did you go? You scared me."

Aiqier blinked innocently, "Big brother, you all weren't home, and I was bored, so I went to play with the dog."

The Tibetan Mastiff added, "Big brother, don't worry. Vampires can't sleep at night, and it's understandable for her to come play with us."

Ye Shu hugged Aiqier tightly, relieved but still cautioning her, "In the future, let me know before going out, so I won't worry."

After seeing off the Tibetan Mastiff, Ye Shu prepared a bowl of blood rice for the green-haired and bald ones, who left contentedly.

As for Xiao Leng, she stayed. Having finished her blood rice, she disappeared without a trace on the balcony, indicating her preference for solitude.

Ye Shu, after sharing the incident with Aiqier, began cleaning up the aftermath with Liu Youyou.

After the work was done, Ye Shu and Liu Youyou were exhausted and went to take a bath and rest, while Aiqier stayed on the balcony, enjoying the moonlight and occasionally looking around, seemingly searching for Xiao Leng.

The next day, with a bright sun, Ye Shu woke up refreshed. A new life was beginning.

The reason for calling it a new life was that he was now completely at ease. By practicing the art of ghost cultivation for Aiqier, allowing Xiao Leng to absorb Yin energy, he ensured his safety. Every day, it was just a matter of offering a bit of blood.

He got up energetically, went to the balcony, picked up the urn of ashes, filled it with blood rice, and placed it back on the balcony.

In a short while, the blood rice in the urn floated out, indicating that Xiao Leng was consuming it.

Ye Shu greeted her with a gentle smile, "Good noon, Xiao Leng."

However, Xiao Leng showed no response, not even revealing her presence. It seemed she still resisted his company, being around only for the blood rice.

Ye Shu didn't mind. Planning to make lunch, he was interrupted by Liu Youyou, who came running out.

She was also awake, in high spirits, and with a delighted expression, she exclaimed, "Did you have a spring dream?"

Ye Shu chuckled, "What's there to be happy about, it's just a gathering of monsters from the group."

"You don't understand. There are over a hundred monsters in the group, all influential middle-class monsters in our city. The group owner and administrators are our seniors. Not everyone is invited to this offline meeting. I estimate that only about ten people can attend, and I'm one of them."

Liu Youyou spoke proudly, feeling acknowledged. Ye Shu pondered for a moment, "Perhaps Tree Master is giving you face. Well, showcase your talents, and make a good impression on our seniors."

Liu Youyou also thought that it might be thanks to Old Tree Demon that she got this opportunity. With joy, she held Ye Shu's arm and coquettishly said, "Brother Ye Shu, come with me."

Ye Shu raised an eyebrow, "Miss, this is a gathering of monsters. Do you think it's suitable for me to go?"

Liu Youyou actually felt it was inappropriate, but she was too timid. She said, "Tree Master values you a lot. He must want to see you again and check on your ghost cultivation skills. Let me ask him if you can come along."

After inquiring, Liu Youyou ran out excitedly ten minutes later, calling, "Haha, Tree Master indeed wants to see you. You're coming with me."

Helplessly, Ye Shu agreed. Since it was Tree Master's request, he would go and see, also taking the opportunity to discuss Xiao Leng's situation with him.
