Jellyfish
Chapter 39
Hua Ji was reading very seriously. As he read, he asked Yan Hudie, "Do you think what the book says is useful?"
Yan Hudie said bluntly, "It's useless."
Hua Ji's hand trembled and he almost threw the book away, "Really?
I followed the book's instructions and didn't contact him for a week. It says that after a couple quarrel, both parties need to calm down and carefully examine their own hearts before making a decision. If you find that you still like the other party, then you need to understand why you're angry and have a good talk with him … "
He looked at Yan Hudie seriously, "I've already booked a restaurant and prepared to have a talk with him. You …"
Yan Hudie almost laughed out loud, "Oh, Fox, when you were talking to those monsters, your IQ didn't just go up. It was over a hundred. Why did your IQ drop when you talked about Senior Shui?"
He sighed with emotion, "If your IQ was only at this level back then, what would it be?
You wouldn't have won the war then. I would have won. "
Hua Ji was speechless, "That's different. We're all local monsters and grew up in similar environments. It's easy to imitate our mentality. To put it bluntly, you and I are learning the rules of humans, but Shui Mu is different …"
Hua Ji thought of the first time he met Shui Mu. On the vast surface of the sea, there were waves several stories high. That was the real Shui Mu. It was as mysterious as the sea.
Shui Mu's worldview was different from that of the local monsters. Hua Ji tried to use the thinking of a normal monster to speculate about Shui Mu. It wouldn't work at all.
Yan Hudie shook his head, "Then is it useful for you to speculate with the thinking of a human?"
Hua Ji was speechless.
Yan Hudie glanced at Hua Ji and said, "That's enough. Stop making wild guesses. Instead of reading useless books, why don't you think about your job?"
Seeing that Hua Ji's IQ was about to go into the negatives, Yan Hudie had no choice but to change the topic. "The Lingyin Temple has finally relented. With the addition of the Willow Tree Monster, they can arrange for at least twenty people to join them. Moreover, since the Lingyin Temple has spoken, the nearby temples won't reject them. Those monks and whatnot can come and hang out here."
When it came to serious matters, Hua Ji's IQ instantly plummeted. He said, "That's right. Oh right, don't forget to remind me to report to the Shenbo Club. There has to be a reason for those monks to gather in Hangzhou. Why don't we ask them to hold a few Dharma Assemblies or something?
Is there a Buddha's birthday recently?
It doesn't matter if it's a Buddha, Sakyamuni, or Medicine Buddha. We just need a reason to hold a debate and a few Buddhism exchanges. This way, it won't attract any attention. It can also generate income for the baldies … Ha, I should have asked them for planning fees. "
Yan Hudie stifled a laugh after hearing this. He said vaguely, "Yes, if the Ghost King of Mount Mang sends some of his subordinates around the city, their business volume will definitely increase."
Speaking of this, Hua Ji suddenly laughed, "Hey, if that's the case, the baldies should actually pay the Ghost King and the others a share of the profits. How about the believers who don't have ghosts?"
Yan Hudie couldn't help but laugh, "If that's the case, does that Taoist sect have to pay us every time they go down the mountain to kill demons?"
Hua Ji said seriously, "That's for sure!"
Yan Hudie saw that Hua Ji had returned to normal. He said coldly, "When do you plan to directly kill your tenants?"
Hua Ji said angrily, "Didn't you say not to mention this?"
"If we kill that tenant, we'll have bodyguards." Yan Hudie dragged out his tone, "Not to mention the Huangpu River outside Chongming, just the West Lake near Lingyin Temple, as long as those baldies play tricks, we can directly let the seniors pour the water into the West Lake."
Hua Ji was silent. After a while, he said, "Hey, now that you mention it, I just realized that there are so many places with water in our country."
"Yes, he'll be there wherever there's water …" Yan Hudie's face was full of envy, "That's great."
Hua Ji sneered, "You'll be there wherever there are flowers. Why are you envious of him?"
Shui Mu shrugged. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Hey, speaking of flowers, do you see a Ba Wang Flower in front of us?"
Hua Ji was stunned. He looked in front of him and saw that the gray road surface of the highway seemed to have turned red. The railings and flower beds on both sides seemed to have turned into small rivers.
Hua Ji's mouth twitched, "Isn't this Xiang Jiuniang's secret technique, the Three Roads River?"
Yan Hudie's expression changed drastically, "What?
Xiang Jiuniang?! "
At this moment, Hua Ji's phone suddenly rang.
Hua Ji didn't want to pick it up. His eyes flashed and he saw that it was Boss Wu calling. He immediately picked it up and heard Boss Wu slowly say to him, "You're famous."
Hua Ji's mouth twitched, "I knew I was famous when people called me Super Trunks Man. Boss, get to the point. I'm very busy now."
Boss Wu was stunned. Hua Ji's voice on the other side of the phone was unclear. He didn't know if it was because of the signal or something else, so he simply said directly, "I mean, you're famous again because of the character Feng Hui Xue. You were too lazy to form a fan club a few years ago. You can't do that anymore. I've already found someone who's an old fan of yours. You can meet her later."
After a pause, Boss Wu still hid the fact that Shui Mu had also become the secretary of his fan club.
Hua Ji looked at the red road in front of him and then looked at the person in front of him. He simply said, "No problem."
Bam, he hung up the phone.
Yan Hudie said calmly, "She's here for you, right?"
Hua Ji was equally calm, "Don't even think about running away. If you dare to leave, don't blame me for exposing you."
Yan Hudie turned pale with fright, "Hua Ji!
I thought you were my good friend. Who would have thought that you would betray me at such a crucial moment? "
Hua Ji sneered, "It's better to die than to die. There are some sayings in Taoism that are still very true."
Just as the two of them were stubbornly refusing to admit their mistakes, a woman silently appeared in front of them.
The woman was extremely beautiful. She wore a light green long cheongsam with a diagonal collar embroidered with orchids and pearl buttons. Her long, silky hair was tied into a slanted cloud bun. She held a white paper umbrella with sky-blue clouds painted on it and walked over slowly.
Hua Ji praised, "Ninth Sister, you're getting more and more beautiful."
Yan Hudie said, "Aren't you going to go out and pick her up?"
"Then you'll immediately drive away, right?" Hua Ji grinned, "I'm not an idiot."
"Tsk, why is your IQ online now?"
As the two of them argued, the woman walked closer and closer. Soon, she was beside Hua Ji's car. Without saying a word, she ignored Hua Ji and directly opened the back door of the car. She neatly closed the umbrella and got in the car.
She leaned the paper umbrella against the car seat and then opened the car window. She took out a lady's cigarette from her exquisite handbag and gently brushed the cigarette butt with her fingertips. Wisps of smoke slowly filled the narrow space in the car. The woman gently blew out a round smoke ring. The smoke ring condensed and did not dissipate. It directly rushed to the front seat and hit the rearview mirror.
She said coldly, "Drive."
Hua Ji and Yan Hudie's mouths twitched at the same time. At this moment, the scenery of Santu Creek outside the window had disappeared. Their car was parked in the driveway in a completely different position from before.
Yan Hudie curled his lips at Hua Ji and gave him a look that said, "Good luck." Then, he put the car in gear and started driving.
Hua Ji said dryly, "Hey, Ninth Sister, long time no see."
The woman, Xiang Jiuniang, snorted coldly. Her eyebrows were delicate. Even though her long and narrow eyes were slightly similar to Hua Ji's, they were more charming and enchanting than Hua Ji's. There was also a black mole under the corner of her eye. When her eyes flashed slightly, it was as if there was a drop of water falling from the corner of her eyes and landing on that mole. She stole one's soul and could not move her eyes away.
She was the woman who wandered among the feudal lords in the most chaotic years before the founding of the country. She stirred up the world with laughter and humour. In the end, she escaped unscathed. Xiang Lai Xiang Jiuniang.
Even though her strength was not high, she had terrifying connections and all kinds of secrets in her hands. If she wanted, she could even know the color of the underwear worn by the Taoist sect leader today.
No one was willing to offend her.
Including Hua Ji.
He looked at Xiang Jiuniang's cold face and felt a headache coming on.
