Chapter 152.1 - Strange Yanwang Town
“What’s taking so long?” A masked attendant came cursing from the side. He glanced at the fallen Bai Lixin and asked in a loud voice, “Has he been knocked out?”
The attendant in the rabbit mask was at a loss for words. He looked at his hands in confusion and then at Bai Lixin on the ground and nodded bravely. “Yes, I used a lot of strength.”
The newcomer with a tiger mask on his face nodded with satisfaction. “Well done, but such good products need to be dressed up properly.”
“Take it to room 3 first, there are some clothes there, you can help it change.”
The mask was taken off, followed by two gasps. The attendant in the tiger mask clicked his tongue twice and said, “It’s a good one, I thought he was bragging, but I didn’t expect such good quality.”
“That old thing has surprisingly good eyes this time.”
“I have a feeling it will fetch a good price this time.”
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring it over.”
The rabbit-masked attendant nodded, picked up the limp Bai Lixin, and walked backstage, where there was a row of rooms. He walked to the room marked “3” and was about to go in when a very ingratiating voice came from the room next door.
“I’m telling you, my father is King Yama! If you dare sell me, he’ll blow up this auction house when he gets here!”
Bai Lixin, who was pretending to be unconscious, pricked up his ears.
Another voice rang out.
“Hahaha, with that round and chubby body of yours, I’d rather believe your father is a pixui from the mountains. Since when is King Yama your father?”*Pixiu is a Chinese mythical hybrid creature with a dragon head and a lion’s body.
“Come on, who doesn’t know that King Yama is emotionless? He hasn’t found a wife for so many years; when did he get a son?”
“You don’t even know how to lie, little brother. The world is a dangerous place, so grow up.”
The milky voice rang out again.
“I also have a papa; I’m telling you, my papa is also very powerful, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
“I’m telling you, you’re finished! How dare you call me the son of a pixiu, you wait for me! I’ll never let you go!”
“Hey, you little rascal, you said your father is King Yama, but now he’s not, could it be that you have two fathers?”
Bai Lixin: “……”
Is the child’s attention on the fact that he is pixui, a brave or a foolish thing?
Who’s this kid? The perspective is so fresh, and he’s so verbal. In the end, it’s the fault of the weird parents who raised him like that.
The rabbit-masked attendant pushed the door open and led Bai Lixin inside.
As soon as the door to the room opened, the sounds from next door immediately disappeared.
Then Bai Lixin was placed on something soft.
The rustling of fabric resounded in the room, and the puzzled voice of the rabbit-masked attendant rang out, “Find clothes, find clothes, what should he wear?”
He walked over to the clothes rack and carefully went through the clothes, oblivious to the fact that there was a figure behind him.
As he searched, an elegant voice whispered from behind, “What do you think of that white one?”
“Huh,” the attendant said, taking a pure white gauzy dress from the hanger, and surprise flashed in his small eyes under the mask. “It’s fairy-like; you’ll look like a moon fairy, those guests will love it, this is the one.”
The voice from behind came again: “I have a good eye, don’t I?”
The attendant nodded, “Mmm, you have a good eye……”
The voice came to an abrupt halt, and the attendant turned his head stiffly and crashed into the youth’s clear, beautiful eyes.
“You…you…you, how are you awake?!”
All he got in response was a hit to the head that was so fast that he couldn’t even see the afterimage.
The attendant’s eyes rolled back, and Bai Lixin quickly stretched out his hand and caught the white gauze dress before the other party fell limply.
As the attendant fell to the ground, Bai Lixin put the dress back on the hanger and took the rabbit mask off the attendant’s face, and put it on his own.
The attendant’s face was also finally revealed once the mask was removed.
It was a male ghost with a pale white complexion. He was shaped like an ordinary human and had human features. After some thought, Bai Lixin stripped the ghost of his clothes and replaced them with the gauze dress he had just chosen, while he also put on the ghost attendant’s clothes and a cloak.
Then Bai Lixin placed one of the masks in the room over the attendant’s face.
He had just placed the attendant on the soft couch when the door burst open.
Two other attendants with rabbit masks stood in the doorway, staring straight at Bai Lixin and asking, “Is everything ready?”
Bai Lixin pondered for two seconds and nodded gently, “Yes, what about the auction?”
One of them replied, “The manager said this is an extremely high-quality human, wait until the finale.”
Bai Lixin: “The manager has already examined the goods; he said we should leave the mask on to give him a sense of mystery, and wait until the auction before taking off and stunning the crowd. The price will go even higher.”
The two looked at each other, “Since it is the manager’s order, so be it. There is still an hour before the finale, you keep an eye on the person here.”
Bai Lixin nodded respectfully and said, “Okay.”
The two men left, and Bai Lixin stood by the door until the footsteps outside faded before opening the door and going to the adjacent room 4.
After knocking on the door, Bai Lixin pushed it open from the outside.
The door was not locked, and he immediately saw the two men, one large and one small, in the room. The larger one was in the same attire as Bai Lixin at the moment, with attendant clothes, a black cloak, and a rabbit mask. On the floor in front of him was a chubby child sitting cross-legged with both arms tied back, his round eyes glaring at the rabbit-masked man in front of him.
When the door opened, both looked over at the same time, and Bai Lixin also finally got a good look at the child’s face.
He bit back a gasp and calmly walked into the room.
Heh, he was wondering whose child was so verbal, but wasn’t this his karmic fruit?
This little guy is so talkative now. In the [Night Walk of a Hundred Ghosts] copy, he was just learning to speak, so he didn’t recognize the voice earlier.
But although his voice had changed a lot, his face hadn’t changed much.
Wait, if the King Yama he was calling his father was Dijia, then wouldn’t that make him the “Papa”?
Damn it, so I was the weird parent?
“What is it?” The man sitting on the sofa looked at Bai Lixin, his tone a little impatient.
Bai Lixin spoke calmly, “I’m here to change shifts.”
“Change shifts?” The man froze for a moment and said, “There’s a shift change this?”
Bai Lixin: “Huh? Isn’t your room supposed to have the shift change? The manager is not feeling well, so he asked me to just come directly and tell you.”
The man hurriedly stood up and said, “Change, change, my throat is not too comfortable. I didn’t expect the manager to be so nice, I was wrong to blame him before.”
“Brother, thank you for your hard work, this brat is annoying.”
Bai Lixin: “I was in a bit of a hurry to get here, so I don’t know the situation with this kid, the manager told me to just ask you. You can’t leave until we’ve finished the handover; otherwise, I won’t be responsible for any problems.”
The man retorted, “I’ve taken such good care of him, why should I be responsible for what happens after? I might end up doing something and then have to take responsibility if I don’t hand over.”
“Anyway, a customer sent this ghost to the auction house; don’t ask who sent it; I also don’t know, it’s all confidential.”
“Although it is a ghost, it is better than an infant spirit born by heaven and earth, it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.”
The man paused, gave the little dumpling an envious look, and swallowed hard: “It’s very tonic.”
The little dumpling stubbornly shook his shoulders: “……”
QVQ! Papa help! Someone wants to eat me!
“Keep an eye on him; this infant spirit is a rare find, it’s sure to fetch a good price tonight.”
“It’s among the last items, so take note.”
“That’s all the information; I’m sort of handing this infant spirit over to you, if there’s a problem, you’ll be responsible.”
Bai Lixin nodded and spoke impatiently, “I got it, I got it, you’re so annoying, hurry up and go.”
Bai Lixin closed the door as soon as the man left, and immediately put the latch on.
Under the fierce and aggressive eyes of the little dumpling, Bai Lixin slowly came to the sofa.
He hadn’t even sat down yet, when the little dumpling suddenly shouted, “Hey, you bastard!”
The eyebrows hidden under the mask twitched, and Bai Lixin simply sank his body lazily into the sofa and let the dumpling begin his performance.
The little dumpling’s pink face was red with anger, he glared at Bai Lixin, sternly saying, “How about we make a deal?”
“I’ll give you fifty thousand incense tiles if you let me go. My father is King Yama, and my papa is even more powerful, even my father is afraid of him. With them backing you up, the people at the auction house won’t do anything to you.”
“But if you don’t let me go, and I escape somehow, I, Master Tuanzi, will definitely come back and kill you! I’ll raze your place to the ground, and you’ll be out of a job by then!”
The little dumpling gritted his teeth and said, “I, I’ll find you and cut you to pieces!”
“How’s that? Are you scared? Better act now and let me go!”
“……” Bai Lixin’s finger tapped the mask on his face casually, “Why is your papa powerful?”
The dumpling stretched his neck out and howled, “My papa is very powerful! Not only can he tear evil spirits apart with his bare hands, but even my father is afraid of him.”
Bai Lixin was intrigued: “Why is your father afraid of him?”
‘Even I didn’t know that Dijia was afraid of me, I’m curious.’
The little dumpling rolled his eyes and said, “My papa always rides Father!”
Bai Lixin almost slid off the sofa.
