"Yes, yes, exactly."
Yingxing nodded repeatedly and said: "How about this, Old Jing? Next time you see that female ghost, take a photo as evidence and show us how beautiful the pretty female ghost in pajamas at night really is, okay?"
Jing Yuan immediately stood up angrily: "You think I haven't taken photos to preserve evidence? I'll go back to my room right now and bring the evidence for you to see!"
Dan Feng also stood up: "Yes yes, show us. As long as it's confirmed real, the two of us won't sleep at night anymore. We'll be your door gods and keep watch for you. With me, the Xianzhou Dragon Lord, guarding, if that female ghost dares to come, she'll definitely suffer a crushing defeat!"
Yingxing: "Right! Crushing defeat!"
Jing Yuan pointed at the two smiling guys: "Fine, you two just wait!"
With that, he quickly walked toward the stairs and went up to the second floor.
—"Pfft hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
As soon as he went upstairs, thunderous laughter erupted downstairs. Every "ha" was exceptionally clear, laughing continuously for dozens of seconds without stopping.
From the sound of it, even if the owners of the laughter had laughed until they were out of breath or suffocating, they had no intention of stopping at all.
Jing Yuan was furious: These two bastards really were laughing at him!
What was so funny?! Everything he said was true!
So Jing Yuan turned back halfway, stood at the corner of the stairs, and quietly watched Dan Feng and the others.
"..."
The entire house instantly fell silent. Dan Feng and Yingxing looked at Jing Yuan with calm and innocent faces: "Hm? Did you bring the photos back? So fast?"
Jing Yuan was silent for two seconds, then turned and went upstairs again.
—"Pfft hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
As soon as Jing Yuan left, Dan Feng and Yingxing instantly laughed so hard they couldn't straighten their backs. Yingxing clapped and stomped his feet, trying to relieve the pain from laughing too wildly.
Jing Yuan turned back again.
Dan Feng and Yingxing instantly returned to normal. The former even gave the latter a puzzled look, then asked with concern: "Is there something else?"
Jing Yuan really wanted to beat these two to death.
...
The Memory Bubble content ended here.
The three: ...
"Tsk, how should I put this?" Stelle rubbed her chin with a troubled expression: "Saying Old Jing deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors… seems a little unreasonable?"
March 7th: "What's unreasonable? What does the second personality's actions have to do with the first personality?"
Stelle: "But… but Old Jing probably didn't do anything much, right? If what he said is true?"
March 7th immediately rejected it: "How could anyone not sleep at night and suddenly stand by your bedside? Stelle, don't believe these ghost stories. Forget it, forget it."
On the side, Jing Yuan dodged Jingliu's attacks while saying: "Master! That matter really wasn't my fault! It was clearly Dan Feng and Yingxing, those two scumbags, teaming up to spread rumors about me! The Memory Bubble is proof! I really didn't slander you back then!"
The red light in Jingliu's eyes grew stronger: "Even if the main responsibility that time wasn't yours, what about before that?"
Clang—
Jing Yuan turned and knelt again, catching the blade bare-handed: "Master, what matter are you talking about this time?"
"You don't even know what I'm referring to? Disciple, it seems your master really needs to teach you properly what 'humility' is!"
Clang clang clang—!
At Stelle's signal, March 7th used her power again and extracted another Memory Bubble.
The following is the content within the memory:
Stellar Calendar XXXX, Jing Yuan's youth (20 years old).
Another early morning. Young Jing Yuan sat alone on the sofa.
"Yo, Jing Yuan, you're up so early today?"
Yingxing walked out of the bathroom and greeted Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan raised his head, revealing his bruised and swollen yet still handsome face: "Morning."
Yingxing raised an eyebrow: "Jing Yuan, how many times has it been this month? Why do I always see you covered in injuries? A sly old fox like you taking such a big loss?"
Jing Yuan: "This line sounds familiar… Ah, it's nothing. I fell by myself yesterday. It has absolutely nothing to do with Jingliu."
Yingxing nodded: "Oh."
—"Stop 'oh'ing. The starskiff will be downstairs in twenty minutes. Have you packed everything?"
Dan Feng came down from the second floor, wearing casual clothes and carrying a suitcase. "Don't forget this and that later and have to borrow mine."
"Scumbag, shut your mouth." Yingxing asked: "Where's Baiheng? Why hasn't she come down yet?"
Dan Feng shrugged: "How would I know? You think I'm you, peeping darkly every day."
Yingxing pulled a hammer out of his pants: "Want to fight?"
"Not afraid of you. But if you're willing to waste time here with me and miss the chance to interact with Baiheng, I can oblige."
Yingxing was silent for two seconds, then decisively dropped the hammer and went upstairs.
Seeing Yingxing go upstairs, Dan Feng said to Jing Yuan: "Old Jing, go urge Jingliu. See if she got lost in her room again."
Jing Yuan was silent for two seconds. He felt Dan Feng made a lot of sense, so he went upstairs too.
Arriving at Jingliu's room, Jing Yuan was surprised to find the door ajar. He hesitated for a moment, then knocked and asked: "Master, are you inside?"
"..."
No response.
Jing Yuan sighed, pushed open the door and walked in. Jingliu's room was very neat and quiet, with only the faint sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
"Still showering…"
Jing Yuan sat down on a chair, originally planning to wait patiently, but suddenly seemed to think of something and turned his head sharply!
"If I have to wait for her to finish showering, then I can only wait."
Jing Yuan walked straight toward the bathroom, muttering: "But if I'm waiting, it's best to wait at the door."
"During this period, peeping through the keyhole would be wrong, right?"
Thinking of this, Jing Yuan (the 20-year-old young comrade) quietly approached the bathroom door—
—"Jing Yuan, are you two in there? Why so slow?"
Dan Feng walked in impatiently from outside and saw the scene at first glance.
Jing Yuan: ...
Dan Feng: ...
The air became somewhat quiet for a moment.
Click—
Just as the atmosphere turned strange, the bathroom door handle was suddenly turned from the inside, and the door opened—
Jing Yuan reacted quickly and pulled the door shut: "Dan Feng, get out! I will never allow you to peep at my master showering!"
"…Jing Yuan? Why are you in my room?" Jingliu's dazed voice came from inside the bathroom.
Dan Feng sneered and imitated Jing Yuan's voice: "Nice— Master, take your time showering. I'm leaving, okay."
