Chapter 559: You Have Quite the Appetite
Though Bai Xue wore a mask, her police uniform perfectly outlined her fiery figure. That shapely, curvaceous physique was undeniably that of a woman; no man was built like that.
"Yang Haoran, your villa truly is a den of hidden talents. Not only do you keep ghosts, but you even keep demons. You really know how to play. " Xu Meijing glanced at Bai Xue, then turned her gaze to Yang Haoran beside her and spoke.
Although Xu Meijing concealed it well, Yang Haoran still detected a hint of displeasure in her tone.
Yang Haoran wore an awkward expression. He wanted to explain, but before he could open his mouth, Bai Xue spoke up before him.
"Hehe, Brother Underworld Official, who is this elder sister? I don't recognize her at all. How is it that I've never seen you bring her back before?"
Bai Xue's enchanting voice flowed from her lips. As her words fell, she slowly removed the mask from her face, revealing her flawless features.
At this moment, Bai Xue's face was adorned with a captivating smile, every frown and smile imbued with an alluring magic. Xu Meijing, seeing this, couldn't help but momentarily freeze.
Xu Meijing was inherently a great beauty, and she had always believed herself to be so. She was extremely satisfied with both her figure and appearance. However, upon seeing Bai Xue now, she found that her own looks had actually been outshone.
"Please don't call me elder sister. You've lived long enough to become a demon; who knows how old you actually are now," Xu Meijing said with a frown, her face cool and aloof.
Xu Meijing's words were clearly barbed. Bai Xue, however, didn't get angry. With a charming smile, she replied, "Hehe, then I'll call you little sister instead."
These words made Xu Meijing's frown deepen.
"Are we close? " Xu Meijing asked coldly.
These words were no longer merely barbed; there was a clear scent of gunpowder in the air.
Bai Xue naturally picked up on the hostility in Xu Meijing's words, but she didn't care in the slightest. The seductive charm on her face didn't diminish; instead, it grew richer. She was just about to speak when Yang Haoran, looking embarrassed, stopped her.
"Let me introduce you. This is Emissary Xu Meijing, the Emissary of Death from Ancheng's Underworld Office."
After Yang Haoran finished introducing Xu Meijing to Bai Xue, he turned his gaze to Xu Meijing beside him, intending to introduce Bai Xue to her.
"This is. . ."
As Yang Haoran began to speak, he was coldly interrupted by Xu Meijing.
"I have no interest in knowing who she is."
With those words, Xu Meijing shoved her hands into her pockets, looked haughty, and walked away.
Seeing this, Yang Haoran helplessly glanced at Bai Xue, then quickly went after Xu Meijing.
Watching the two of them leave, Bai Xue's face was wreathed in a seductive smile, a look of triumph upon her, as if she had won a battle.
"Her name is Bai Xue. She's a snake demon I rescued back then. Since she had nowhere to go, she stayed here. Over the past few years, she's helped me a lot."
Yang Haoran kept pace with Xu Meijing, explaining as he walked. He seemed a little nervous, as if afraid Xu Meijing might misunderstand.
Xu Meijing heard him, glanced at Yang Haoran beside her, and as she continued walking, she said indifferently, "I didn't realize you wouldn't even let a demon off the hook. You have quite the appetite."
Yang Haoran gave a wry smile and quickly continued to explain, "My appetite isn't as good as you think. Besides, as you said, she's a demon and I'm a human. There's absolutely no way anything could spark between us."
Xu Meijing shook her head. "Don't be so absolute. Many things in this world are unpredictable."
Hearing Xu Meijing's words, Yang Haoran felt a surge of urgency and quickly blurted out, "Can't you tell how I feel about you?"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Yang Haoran instantly realized he had blurted something out. But words once spoken were like spilled water; they could not be taken back. This left him incredibly embarrassed, his face instantly flushing crimson.
Xu Meijing hadn't expected Yang Haoran to say such a thing either. Caught off guard, a blush also crept onto her face.
"You truly are shameless," Xu Meijing said, her face red, a frown on her brow.
Although Xu Meijing was frowning as she said this, compared to before, her tone held less coldness.
Yang Haoran noticed the change in Xu Meijing's tone, and while he exhaled a sigh of relief, he also felt a little secretly pleased.
In his desperation, he had said something he usually wouldn't dare. Although Xu Meijing hadn't directly expressed her feelings, she hadn't rejected him or shown disgust. This indicated that there was still a possibility between him and Xu Meijing, so of course he would feel a surge of secret delight.
"Alright, this is far enough. We'll see each other again at the end of the year."
Outside the barrier, Xu Meijing directly tore open space, tossed out a remark, and stepped into the spatial rift.
"Okay! See you at the end of the year!"
As Yang Haoran bid her farewell, the spatial rift quickly healed, and Xu Meijing vanished.
After standing in place for a moment, Yang Haoran turned to head back to the villa. Just as he turned, he spotted Bai Xue, her face filled with a seductive smile.
"Hehe, Brother Underworld Official, is that your girlfriend? " Bai Xue asked with a chuckle.
"I wish, but she'd have to be willing," Yang Haoran said with a wry smile.
"Hehe, so it was unrequited love all along. Your taste isn't bad though. That woman has a good face and a nice figure, but compared to me, she falls a bit short," Bai Xue said, laughing.
Hearing Bai Xue's words, Yang Haoran recalled the scene when the two women met and couldn't help but complain, "You have the nerve to say that! You almost ruined everything just now."
Saying this, Yang Haoran stepped into the barrier and walked towards the villa, while Bai Xue chuckled and quickly followed him.
"If it could be ruined so easily, that just means she doesn't truly have you in her heart. If she really did, how could it be so easily messed up? Don't you agree? " Bai Xue asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, you're right," Yang Haoran said perfunctorily.
Although Bai Xue's appearance had put him in a somewhat passive position just now, it was precisely because of this that he had blurted out words he usually wouldn't dare to speak, and also gained an understanding of Xu Meijing's attitude.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know when he would have spoken those words, nor would he have been able to ascertain Xu Meijing's reaction.
Therefore, Yang Haoran, despite appearing to wear a wry smile, was actually in a rather good mood.
Bai Xue seemed to notice Yang Haoran's good mood. With a seductive smile, she continued, "As a friend, I feel it's necessary to remind you: that woman looks very dominant. If you really get together with her, I'm afraid she might beat you to death."
"It's not as serious as you make it sound. Besides, I know what I'm doing," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Seeing that Yang Haoran wasn't taking her words seriously at all, Bai Xue's seductive smile didn't fade. She said, "Hehe, suit yourself. If you get hurt one day. . ."
Bai Xue hadn't finished speaking when Yang Haoran's phone rang at that moment.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll take this call first."
Saying this, Yang Haoran pulled out his phone and walked to the side. Upon seeing the caller ID, the smile on Yang Haoran's face deepened a few shades.
"Seeing you smile so happily, what? Did she call you to report her safety? " Bai Xue asked with a laugh.
"No, it's something else," Yang Haoran replied, then answered the call.
"Master, the mission is complete. " Tang Shi's respectful voice came from the other end of the line.
The person calling Yang Haoran at this moment was indeed Tang Shi.
"I understand. I'll be right there," Yang Haoran replied, then hung up the phone.
"I have something to go out for," Yang Haoran said to Bai Xue, then turned and walked out of the villa.
Watching Yang Haoran's retreating figure, Bai Xue's face showed a hint of disappointment, but then her smile returned. She called out to Yang Haoran's back, "Be careful."
"I know, nothing will happen."
Yang Haoran didn't turn back, but replied to Bai Xue, then tore through space and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was at the same place where he had brought Tang Shi last time.
