Chapter 127

Tan Chunying Part 2

Ah Jin cleared his throat. "I also have a guess..."

Mu Fei interrupted him, "You're not allowed to speak, strictly no sexual content."

Ah Jin was angry: When did we ever have sexual content, we only skirted the edge. He turned around with his arms crossed, feeling aggrieved.

Tan Xiao thought, that was close. If Ah Jin had spoken, he might have guessed it!

"Mom, don't ask for so many details... I'll tell you once it's stable." Tan Xiao pretended to be embarrassed.

"Hey, how stable does it need to be, are you afraid of breaking up?" Tan Chunying teased a bit, but felt he had a point. Many couples broke up after graduating high school. It seemed Tan Xiao had already considered this.

Tan Xiao: "Mm hmm."

Kong Xuan: "!!"

......

Back at home, Tan Xiao was exhausted and ready to go upstairs to his room. Today had been tiring.

"Hey, where is Kong Xuan staying, do you want to clean up a room for him? Or add a bed for you?"

"No need, he likes living in the mask." Tan Xiao answered cautiously.

Tan Chunying said enviously, "How convenient."

Kong Xuan: "..."

Upstairs, Tan Xiao spread his arms and fell backwards with his eyes closed, only to feel his hand being grabbed. Naturally, he couldn't lie down. Opening his eyes, he saw Kong Xuan looking displeased.

Kong Xuan had endured the whole way. He grabbed Tan Xiao's hand and said aggressively, "Why do you want to break up?!"

Tan Xiao: "..."

Who wants to break up!

Tan Xiao said in disbelief, "That was just an excuse, Great God, can't you tell?"

"Then you can't use that kind of excuse either," Kong Xuan was exasperated. Under Tan Xiao's watchful eyes, he hemmed and hawed for a while before mumbling, "It's unlucky."

Tan Xiao: "..."

I'm a real shaman and even I find your words ridiculously superstitious. Tan Xiao sat up straight, finding it funny. "With your blessing, how could it be unlucky?"

Kong Xuan said with a straight face, "Language is the most primitive spell. Words spoken aloud have the possibility of resonating with the Heavenly Dao. There are even beings like the Stove God who specifically record words and deeds... Although he doesn't dare eavesdrop on us casually." But the principle is the principle.

Tan Xiao had a sudden realization. In Kong Xuan's worldview, language held much greater power than in the human world. No wonder he was so concerned about it.

"I used the wrong excuse." Tan Xiao took the opportunity to hug Kong Xuan's waist as he stood in front of him, burying his head and nuzzling. "Don't be angry."

Being coaxed by Tan Xiao, Kong Xuan turned his face for a moment before quickly squatting down to press close to Tan Xiao. "When was I ever angry!" He paused, then said calmly and steadily, "When was I ever angry?"

"Hahaha." Before Tan Xiao could see Kong Xuan's face turning red, he was nuzzled so much that he fell backwards.

Kong Xuan snuggled tightly against Tan Xiao and said softly, "Anyway, I can't stand hearing those words."

"Got it." Tan Xiao kissed the corner of his lips.

......

Tan Chunying's stitches could be removed in a few days, and she still needed to get rabies shots regularly.

Regarding this point, Tan Chunying had a question: "Since the other party was a demon, do I still need to get rabies shots?"

"Of course you need to get the shots. Huodou is different, it's a demon formed later in life. How do you know it's not carrying the rabies virus?" Tan Xiao urged her to get vaccinated on time. Not only that, he redrew the talisman, and Bureau 404 directly dispatched masters to take turns protecting Tan Chunying.

After all, Tan Chunying was an amnesiac. "Huh? What kind of reasoning is that? It's already a demon, can't it expel the virus?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't expel it." Tan Xiao thought for a moment, "Now that it has become a demon, the rabies virus definitely can't kill it. It exists in its body and can only harm the people it bites, which is equivalent to enchantment."

Tan Chunying: "..."

Tan Chunying couldn't refute it and obediently got her shots on time.

"If my injury still affects my performance, should I ask the program team to switch to a backup program?" Tan Chunying looked at her wrist, "Alas, I didn't expect it to affect your studies in the end, with both the dog bite and..."

Tan Chunying felt a bit emotional. Originally, Tan Xiao no longer participated in the daily tasks of Bureau 404, but in the past two days, he was still taking time to analyze divination, and she couldn't even help.

"It's not you who influenced it. I had already decided long ago, and now it seems that was the right choice." Tan Xiao said with certainty. When Kong Xuan approached him initially, he was reluctant to sign the contract at first. It was because he felt that the uncertain factors brought about could affect every person in the whole society that he changed his mind.

Looking back now, if he had insisted on refusing at that time, wouldn't he be helpless now?

Tan Chunying patted Tan Xiao's head, "Alright, now..."

Tan Xiao: "Huh?"

Tan Chunying took out her phone: "Divine for mom and see which fund I should buy?"

"Mom! This is more dangerous than the battle with Huodou!!" Tan Xiao said with a headache, "If this worked, wouldn't you have divined it yourself back then?" There were two bloody examples in front of them, Fang Zhu and Big Beard Zhong, especially Fang Zhu, who lost all his money and was targeted by a pig-butchering scam.

"That's true. If it worked, I probably wouldn't have worked so hard in tourism back then." Only then did Tan Chunying put away her idea and continued recording her memories in her notebook to see if she could find any useful information.

These past few days, she was doing one more thing - cooperating with Bureau 404 to sort out her memories, trying to find key nodes, and even rummaging through boxes to see if she had written any diaries, but unfortunately, there were none.

Tan Chunying even asked old customers and old friends she had dealings with if she had shown signs of being slow-witted, forgetful, tired, easily frightened and other symptoms of losing her soul in the past few years, anyway, just to see if there was anything obviously wrong.

Her own memory was relatively vague, but others all said they didn't feel she had anything before, and it was only after the concussion that she looked a little off, but that was normal for an injured person.

"Did you think of anything? Mom, I wanted to ask that day, what about my dad? Is he also a true shaman?" Tan Xiao asked. He knew that his parents were childhood sweethearts, and his dad should have learned some things along the way, but why was there no existence of his dad in Kui Eleven's narration?

"I don't remember." Tan Chunying rested her cheek on her hand.

Not remembering is actually a kind of information, Tan Xiao thought to himself.

"Sigh, what were you thinking in the past, me." Tan Chunying couldn't help but touch her wrist. Today, the dance troupe asked if she could go back to continue rehearsing. No matter what happens later, this is an important node in the development of the shaman culture.

Tan Xiao's phone rang, breaking his train of thought. He looked down and saw that Mu Fei had sent over a document.

Mu Fei: [This is the report Fang Zhu wrote, take a look.]

Tan Xiao clicked to view it. The first thing that caught his eye were a few lines: Dragon bone, calming the liver and subduing yang, lightening the body and clearing the mind, calming the heart and tranquilizing the spirit. When used with oyster shell, goji berries, ginseng, earthworm, jujube dates and other ingredients, it invigorates blood, removes stasis, and nourishes the heart and kidneys, helping to alleviate hypertension and senile dementia in the elderly...

Tan Chunying was still saying beside him, "Hey, in the end, will I be able to perform smoothly?"
