Chapter 24 Good Destiny

After stopping for a moment in front of the door of a guest room, Wang Ermazi rang the doorbell twice. After a while, the door opened gently, and a slender figure appeared inside.

Sister Lan looked a little messy, obviously she had just woken up, but even in this unkempt state, she was still quite beautiful.

She scratched her fluffy hair a little irritably. Sister Lan glared at Wang Er and said, "You are in a hurry to be reincarnated, right? Do you know what time it is now! It's not even six o'clock!"

Wang Ermazi said righteously, "Going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health. Sister Lan, sleeping until six o'clock is enough."

"I usually don't get up until noon!" Sister Lan yelled unbearably.

"I am Sister Lan who has something serious to discuss with you, hehe."

"It's best like this, otherwise I won't mind giving you a good kick on your way to reincarnation!"

Just as Sister Lan gritted her teeth and said that, Wang Ermazi ducked out of the way and pushed me, who was standing behind him, forward.

Seeing Sister Lan's confused expression, I raised my hand in embarrassment and said, "Hi, morning."

"...Little bumpkin?"

"Can't you just call me by my name?" I sighed helplessly.

Sister Lan frowned and glanced at me up and down, her beautiful eyes full of doubts.

"What are you doing here?"

I looked directly into Sister Lan's eyes and said, "I have changed my mind, Sister Lan. I want to go with you to take on the private job of eliminating demons."

"...Come in and talk."

After a long time, Sister Lan stepped aside and let Wang Ermazi and I into the house.

Then, when I entered the room, I found that this guest room was worthy of being a five-star hotel room. The words "splendid and magnificent" were probably used for places like this.

This space alone must be hundreds of square meters, and it is more than just one room.

"Do you live in this place yourself?"

Sister Lan had only worn thin underwear when she came out before. This time she regained consciousness and realized something was wrong, so she put on a velvet nightgown.

"Nonsense, otherwise I would still live with you." Sister Lan rolled her eyes at me, and then made herself a pot of coffee.

I followed Wang Ermazi and sat on the sofa, looking at the tall Sister Lan drinking coffee with a sullen face, and said silently, "I want to drink it too."

"Pour it yourself." After glancing at me, Sister Lan pushed the coffee pot on the table towards me, and then crossed her legs gracefully. Those legs are really long, at least one meter and two meters.

"Oh, tsk, tsk, brother Jun, try it quickly. This coffee is definitely ground by yourself. It tastes different from instant coffee!"

I also poured it for myself and took a sip, and there was no difference in taste.

"I can't taste it. It seems to be the same as instant coffee." I smacked my lips. I couldn't taste the ground coffee that Wang Ermazi mentioned for a long time.

"Just say you are a country bumpkin and have no knowledge." Wang Ermazi raised his head proudly. If I hadn't known that the pot was brewing coffee, I would have thought that this kid was drinking holy water.

Sister Lan glanced at Wang Ermazi lightly and said, "It's just instant coffee. I don't have the patience to grind the coffee beans."

"Ahem! Ahem..."

Wang Er choked on his pockmark, his face turned red and his neck became thick from choking. I gave him a middle finger with contempt in my heart.

After turning to look at me for a long time, Sister Lan said, "Anyway, it seems you have changed your mind now?"

"Well, can you tell me the details of this matter?"

Sister Lan did not answer me immediately. After a long time, she slowly said , "You yourself know that you can't control the timing of your precognitive dreams, right?"

"...Yes."

Sister Lan didn't say anything, drank the coffee in her hand, and then gently put it back on the table.

"In other words, you may have a precognitive dream again, or you may not be able to have a precognitive dream again."

"right."

Sister Lan gently rubbed her temples, and then said, "So, I refuse to do this task with you."

I was startled for a moment, and then glanced at Wang Ermazi - sure enough, this kid's reaction was several times more violent than mine, and he said excitedly, "Sister Lan! Brother Jun, I finally persuaded you to come here. It's very difficult for me to do this." Ah! To be honest, I can't find a more suitable assistant candidate than Brother Jun in Qingyun Town!"

Sister Lan said leisurely, "Then it's your problem. Besides, even if you can't find anyone, at worst I'll go by myself."

"But you said it would be dangerous if you go alone!" Wang Erpazi scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, as if he was racking his brains to think of ways to persuade Sister Lan.

"It's very dangerous, but I can't lead a rookie to die just because of this."

After saying that, Sister Lan also looked at me.

"Little bumpkin, I don't know what you are thinking, but I have to tell you. Now I have figured it out. If you can't have a normal precognitive dream and find the demon spirit, taking you there will only damage my morality. ."

"Even if I am voluntary?" I looked directly at Sister Lan and gritted my teeth.

"...Voluntarily? Weren't you persuaded by this kid?"

I nodded slightly and said, "This is very important to me. To put it bluntly, I need money now, a lot of money... Even if I die, I won't let you be responsible. Just let me try." OK?"

Sister Lan stopped talking and lowered her eyes, looking thoughtful.

"I think you know better than me about monsters. If you can't find the monsters, even if you have extraordinary abilities, don't try to get an advantage in front of them. If I go with you, there will be more. Find out the possibility of demon spirits.”

Sister Lan looked directly at me, her eyes looking sharp. She is very different from yesterday.

"Little bumpkin, do you think slaying demons is a joke? Possibility? Why don't you consider the consequences if you fail?"

"The worst case scenario is death. I am responsible for myself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Lan also had a cold expression on her face and angrily said, "Don't say such irresponsible words to me! Just forget it if you think your life is cheap, I haven't lived enough! And you have considered entrusting this matter person!"

I was stunned by Sister Lan's words and immediately became speechless.

"The reason why I went to find you was because I thought you had the ability to definitely find the demon spirit. But now you don't know any shit. You just had a precognitive dream and found the location of the demon spirit through luck. You Are you kidding with human life?"

I lowered my head silently and clenched my fists. I felt very aggrieved, but I also knew that Sister Lan didn't say anything wrong. What she said was right, absolutely correct.

But it is precisely because of this that I feel even more aggrieved.

Could it be that I can't find any way to restore Xiaoxiao's heart?

"I don't know why you are so urgent for money, but... tell me how much money you need."

I, who was immersed in sadness, couldn't help but raise my head and look at her when I heard Sister Lan say this.

Sister Lan seemed a little embarrassed by me, frowned and looked away, and said with a slight blush, "If it's money I can afford, I'll lend you the money first."

"...Huh? But, but..."

Sister Lan waved her hand and said, "There's nothing good about it. I'm different from you. I have plenty of money."

Seeing Sister Lan's proud look, I couldn't help but look at her speechlessly.

"Meeting a little weirdo like you is a marriage in a sense... So, just tell me how much you need."

"...Three hundred thousand."

I gritted my teeth and told me the amount of money needed to pay the down payment for the house.

The tormenting time passed by slowly. After a while, Sister Lan said, "Okay, I'll lend you the money, and you can use it for emergencies."

"...Just because of so-called fate, you are willing to lend me so much money?"

I looked at Sister Lan in disbelief, and found that I couldn't understand this woman for a while.

"You can't say for sure, little bumpkin, don't underestimate this so-called fate... Haha, anyway, I won't tell you if it's more, just look at it and you'll be fine with this money."

"Looking at it?"

"That's right." Sister Lan nodded, then looked at me and said, "If you become a demon slayer in the future, then sooner or later we will meet, and then you can pay me back the money. And you , if you choose to be an ordinary person in the end...just consider it the compensation I give you."

I felt a little speechless, and after a while I said, "You don't owe me anything, do you? Why do you need to compensate me..."

"Because I once owed a favor to an underground burial master." Sister Lan said it matter-of-factly.

"Is it because of this? It has nothing to do with me, right?"

A hint of sadness flashed in Sister Lan's eyes, and she whispered, "That's not the case... That underground burial master has left this world... and his final wish is that I hope that I can return this favor to others." Just like him, the Burial Master has a tragic fate."

After saying that, Sister Lan stood up and walked to my side, patted my shoulder gently and said, "Little bumpkin, please keep your bank card. I will transfer the money to your account tomorrow." The karma between you and me ends here... Regarding the matter of slaying demons, just pretend that I haven't said anything about it."

"..." I opened my mouth, but my throat was so clogged that I didn't know what to say.

"Okay, you guys go back, I still want to go back to sleep... Damn it, you woke me up after five o'clock in the morning, I really went against you..."

Seeing Sister Lan cursing and walking towards the soft big bed, Wang Ermazi also urged me to put my bank card on the coffee table, and then hurriedly pulled me out of the guest room.

Before leaving, I watched Sister Lan lie back on the soft big bed through the crack in the door, but for some reason, Sister Lan's figure looked particularly tired and haggard when I saw it from this angle.

I suddenly thought that maybe she, like me, could not sleep all night. We are worrying about different things, but we may be suffering from the same insomnia.

On the way back, in the car, Wang Ermazi kept praising Sister Lan for her magnanimity, and also said that with this money, the matter with Xiaoxiao could be solved.

However, just like at the beginning, Wang Ermazi still looked unnatural when he talked about my marriage with Xiaoxiao.

Rather than saying that you are sincerely happy for me, it seems more like you are catering to my emotions.

But now, I don't feel happy at all. On the contrary, I feel very uncomfortable.

I am not a saint, nor have I received any higher education since I was a child.

However, I still understand the principle of not taking other people’s things for free.

"Mazi, it's dangerous for Sister Lan to take on the private job of exterminating demons by herself, right?"

"ah?"

Wang Ermazi, who had been chatting with me about this and that, heard my question and was stunned for a moment before replying, "Yes, Sister Lan said from the very beginning that it would be almost impossible for her to do it alone. "
