“Yes, Lass! You’re a girl! Of course you can choose first,” Old Zao said cooperatively.

“Old Lan, you have to learn a little! Look at how gentlemanly Old Zao is,” Leng Ruoxue teased with satisfaction. Then she directly dragged Freak to choose a room.

“That damn girl has been spoiled by you,” Lan Ming said slightly depressed while looking at Leng Qingtian and the others with disappointment. Why can’t I defeat a little girl? I’m such a failure. Boohoo…

“Xue’er is my granddaughter. Who should I spoil if not her?” Leng Qingtian asked in puzzlement. But he was laughing in his heart. Hehe, how can Lan Ming be Xue’er’s match!

“President Lan, calm down. Let’s quickly prepare lunch!” Lin Liang said very kindly. He was already hungry.

“Okay.” Lan Ming nodded resignedly and began preparing lunch with everyone…

An hour later…

“Freak, wasn’t I right? Lunch is ready,” Leng Ruoxue said happily to Freak beside her after smelling the fragrance.

“Yes, we came out at the right time,” Freak said with satisfaction.

“Damn it. You two sure know how to choose the time.” Lan Ming gritted his teeth and glared at the two of them.

“This is called its best to come at the right time!” Leng Ruoxue said with a smug face.

“Xue’er, quickly sit down and eat!” Leng Qingtian urged. He knew very well why Xue’er kept angering Lan Ming. Alas! Xue’er had put in so much effort! Hopefully, Lan Ming would be able to understand.

“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue pulled Freak over to sit down. She had just picked up a piece of grilled meat and was about to eat when she heard a soft voice in her ear.

“I want to eat too!”

“Do you want to scare me to death?” Leng Ruoxue was a little speechless as she looked at the man who suddenly appeared in displeasure. She grumbled in her head, You even told us not to tell others that you’re here. Then why are you swaying around like this?

“They can’t see or hear me,” Empty said proudly, his deep blue eyes full of teasing.

But they can hear me! Leng Ruoxue thought.

“Xue’er, who are you talking to?” Leng Qingtian and the others were looking at Leng Ruoxue in bewilderment.

“Uh! I’m talking to Freak! Do you want to scare me to death?” Leng Ruoxue explained somewhat guiltily and kept winking at Freak.

Freak understood and hurriedly said, “I didn’t do it on purpose.” He glanced at the white shadow standing beside them like a ‘ghost’.

“What’s wrong with you two? Why are you acting weird?” Old Zao felt that something was amiss.

“He scared me just now.” Leng Ruoxue pushed the blame to Freak helplessly.

“Xue’er, I didn’t do it on purpose. Why do you still remember?” Freak said aggrievedly, tears glittering in his black eyes. Boohoo… I’m taking the blame for someone else!

“Don’t do it again.” Leng Ruoxue looked at Freak but didn’t say anything more.

“Lass, actually, you can send me a voice transmission,” Empty reminded kindly.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Leng Ruoxue sent a voice transmission furiously. In her opinion, this Empty was doing it on purpose. He didn’t tell her earlier that she could send a voice transmission before he scared her. Hmph!

Empty shrugged innocently and said aggrievedly, “You didn’t ask.”

“…”

Leng Ruoxue was really helpless. It even became my fault. Alas! Since he could send voice transmissions, why did he suddenly open his mouth to speak? My response was just a conditioned reflex.

“I want to eat too.” Empty looked at the food and drooled. Boohoo… It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten anything.

“Can you eat?” Leng Ruoxue looked at Empty with puzzlement. If he ate something, would he leak it out?

“Of course I can. But I haven’t eaten for a long time. The food from the Mystic Association is becoming more and more difficult to swallow,” Empty said, seemingly dissatisfied. Then he directly stretched out his hand to get the grilled meat.

Leng Ruoxue hurriedly stopped Empty and sent a voice transmission. “You can’t eat now. Wait for us to finish first.”

“Why?” Empty asked in puzzlement.

“Either you show yourself and let everyone see you, or you wait for us to finish eating before eating,” Leng Ruoxue said via voice transmission, giving this mysterious man two choices!

“I don’t want others to see me now,” Empty said awkwardly.

“Then wait for us to finish eating before you eat!” Leng Ruoxue said without negotiation. She didn’t want her grandfather and the others to be scared by this man who appeared out of nowhere.

“Alas! Alright then!” He looked at the food on the table reluctantly and floated away.

After lunch, Leng Ruoxue returned to her room with Freak.

“Xue’er, what did Empty say to you?” Freak asked curiously after they sat on the bed.

“He wants to eat. I gave him two choices,” Leng Ruoxue explained simply. Then she lay directly on the bed and half-closed her eyes to rest.

“Oh! Xue’er, you’ve wronged me today! Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?” Freak smiled evilly, his face full of anticipation.

“Uh! I want to take an afternoon nap. I’ll owe you first!” Leng Ruoxue said with a yawn.

“Xue’er, you already owe me a lot of compensation!” Freak reminded her with a naughty smile.

“Yes, yes. I’ll pay you back slowly in the future.” Leng Ruoxue nodded and promised. There was no need to worry about more debts!

“What compensation? How?” A curious voice suddenly interrupted.

“Are you sure you’re not a ghost?” Leng Ruoxue looked at Empty doubtfully. Why does this guy always appear suddenly!

“No, I’m still alive,” Empty said with certainty after taking a bite of a chicken leg.

“Can you not suddenly appear?” Freak also had a slight headache. He was obviously an energy body, but he made himself look like a ‘ghost’. It was really worrying!
