At the same time, Bai Ziliang, who was happily applying for a patent for the "Spirit Detecting Camera" card in his sea of consciousness, couldn't help but sneeze.
"Which big sister is thinking of me?"
He said, and images flashed through his mind.
But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out who was thinking of him. He has never been popular with women.
"I'll send messages to each one later and ask."
Bai Ziliang smirked, lowered his head, and continued his research.
On the other hand, after Ji Nian figured out the general usage and functions of the camera, he felt a bit bored.
So he summoned Ying Tai with a wave of his hand, threw the camera into her arms, and turned to go upstairs.
– He was planning to directly capture the ghosts in those dangerous places, so he didn't need this thing at all.
And the only card spirit beside him who might be interested in this little gadget was Ying Tai.
So he gave the camera to her as a gift.
"?"
After he left, the spiritually limited Ying Tai looked at the strange brown box in her hand and couldn't help but scratch her head in confusion.
After playing with it for a while, she cautiously extended her finger and lightly pressed the square button on top.
But the sudden "click" sound that followed startled her.
Fortunately, with the "Wisdom" attribute, her learning and adaptability far exceeded that of ordinary card spirits.
After looking at the slowly appearing photos in the machine, she quickly understood the usage and functions of this little gadget in her hand.
She even self-taught basic photography skills such as focusing, aperture adjustment, and composition.
However, she soon discovered that every time she took a selfie, although the photos turned out nice, it would drain some Yin Qi and spiritual power from her.
This wasn't very interesting.
"Phew…"
She exhaled some Yin Qi in distress and turned her head to see the lifeless eyes of the coffin next to her, which instantly lit up.
Seeing that there was no one around, she sneaked to the second floor and hid in the corner of the stairs, fiercely taking pictures of the cedar wood coffin.
"Heh ah!"
Suddenly, a furious roar came from the coffin.
As a card spirit, it naturally didn't dare to be angry with Ji Nian.
But now, it could clearly feel that the one disturbing its peaceful sleep was not its own card master.
So it didn't need to hold back at all.
In the next moment, the coffin lid automatically popped open, and it stood up with its arms crossed.
Its cold and sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and its nostrils wrinkled slightly.
After searching for a while, it couldn't find the culprit who woke it up.
Immediately, it vented its anger with two streams of corpse energy from its nostrils, and then lay back in the coffin.
Sensing that the probing gaze had disappeared, Ying Tai quietly walked out of the shadows, glanced downstairs with some guilt, but was suddenly startled by the fierce eyes of the coffin, which made her jump.
It turned out that Zongzi Ge had not closed the coffin lid just now.
After advancing and upgrading, it had enhanced spirituality and also self-taught some "military tactics".
But it wasn't interested in scaring little girls. After growling twice as a warning, it fell back into the coffin.
Obviously, such a little incident couldn't affect its deep sleep.
After experiencing this, Ying Tai didn't dare to fool around anymore. She quietly entered Ji Nian's room and walked lightly.
Looking at his calm sleeping face, after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but pick up the camera and took many, many pictures.
…
"I haven't slept so well in a long time."
A few hours later, Ji Nian sat up from the bed and stretched lazily.
He turned his head and saw Ying Tai with a pale face, looking extremely depleted of Yin Qi and spiritual power.
Seeing this, he knew exactly what had happened: "Although the Spirit Detecting Camera doesn't consume much blue energy, it still consumes a lot over time. It's fine to play with it occasionally, but don't use it excessively."
Listening to Ji Nian's guidance, the little girl immediately lowered her head.
But when she saw that Ji Nian didn't intend to take back the camera, she soon smiled.
Seeing this, Ji Nian couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Unexpectedly, this little girl who was serious and responsible at work… had a mischievous side.
"It's already past six."
Picking up the watch on the bedside table and looking at the time, he tidied his hair and quickly got up.
After changing his clothes and doing some simple exercises, he released a strand of spiritual power to replenish Ying Tai's spiritual power and Yin Qi.
Then he turned and went downstairs, waking up the sleeping Zongzi Ge.
"Zongzi Ge, wake up. We have a mission tonight, and you're the main combatant."
With the feedback from the sea of consciousness, Zongzi Ge quickly understood his card master's meaning.
Knowing that there was a fight to be had, it opened the coffin lid, exerted a little force with its legs, stood up straight, and protected Ji Nian by his side.
If sleeping was its first hobby, then fighting undoubtedly ranked second.
As a monster born from evil spirits, it had been suffering from not being able to torment any prey for several days.
"Let's go!"
After putting away the "Heavy Yin Fragrant Cedar Coffin" Chronicle waved his hand and headed towards Youyou's house.
"Youyou's cooking skills are getting better and better."
After gulping down a bowl of Youyou's special beast soup, he felt warm all over.
"No wonder the giant demon people in the textbooks can easily crush mountains and tear the sky and sea. It turns out that they have been eating well since they were young."
Ji Nian thought to himself, and added, "Thanks to Ying Tai as well. Without your marksmanship, we wouldn't have such delicious food now."
Ying Tai couldn't speak.
But from her small expression, it was clear that she was in a good mood."Yingtai? That's a pretty good name! Quite literary, Chronicle Brother." Ginger Tea gave a thumbs up.
"It's alright." Chronicle, whose skin had grown thicker, no longer cared about these minor details.
After dinner and helping with the dishes, he took Yingtai and the Zongzi Brother, who was snoring on the sofa, and headed straight for the open space outside the villa area.
By the time they arrived, Bai Ziliang was looking at his phone with a pained expression.
Unable to resist his curiosity, Chronicle glanced at the screen. He didn't see the content clearly, but he saw a string of red exclamation marks.
"You guys are here."
Seeing everyone arrive, Bai Ziliang managed to muster a smile.
With a wave of his hand, a purple light flashed, and a grand carriage guarded by a team of paper men appeared out of thin air, stopping in the middle of the road.
【Paper Groom Guarding the Scarlet Bridal Palanquin】
As a top-tier rich second generation in Qing Mountain Province, he certainly had more than one vehicle card.
In addition to the Black Winged Raptor given to him by his second uncle, the rest were all part of the card series produced by his own company: 【Paper Men】.
Like this one.
"Paper men carrying a palanquin…"
Looking at the carriage parked not far away, Chronicle's eyes lit up.
He planned to find time to chat with the other party and see if he could get a lower-end version.
"Everyone should be here now."
At this point, Bai Ziliang suddenly spoke.
His gaze swept over the crowd, confirmed the number, and then signaled everyone to get on the carriage.
Then, with a pull of his mental power, the paper men with strange smiles on their faces immediately levitated and carried the palanquin, which was as large as a bus, and ran quickly towards the Land of Peach.
Sitting in the carriage, Chronicle felt the palanquin was incredibly smooth.
Turning his head to look at the rapidly changing scenery outside the window, he found that the speed was not slow at all.
In less than two hours, a sign sprayed with scarlet paint that read 【Welcome to the Hospitable Land of Peach】 appeared before their eyes.
