Chapter 1924: The Flowers Withered and Disappeared

"Do I seem easy to deceive?" Lu Yuan’s face stretched longer: "This joke isn’t funny at all."

Being questioned, Little Taotie got even angrier.

The young girl’s face turned red, fiercely defending herself: "You’re the big liar, pretending to sleep! I didn’t lie! I’m good friends with Ghost Enforcer Uncle, I gave him chocolate, he helped me bring Sister Meng’s watermelon, we’re really good!"

Seeing her earnest demeanor, she didn’t seem like a liar.

But the matter was too unbelievable.

He had worked with some colleagues who could see ghosts, but had never heard of such a thing.

This little one not only wanted to be favored by both realms, but could also concoct such lies! Nonsense!

"Don’t joke around." Lu Yuan’s face tightened, losing the initial warm and kind demeanor.

He was convinced Little Taotie was lying, and lost affection for the lying child.

Little Taotie noticed the flowers above his head had merged, seemingly wilting, her small eyebrows furrowing.

"If you don’t believe me, I can call him here." Little Taotie took out a bottle of eye drops, a special eye drops that everyone in the Special Department had.

"No need, I have my own."

Lu Yuan took out a bottle carved with intricate patterns from the drawer, similar in size to the Lonely Smoke Pot from ancient times.

The cap was a dropper.

This eye drops were not dripped onto the pupils, but onto the closed eyelids.

Little Taotie doubted: "Does this work too?"

Lu Yuan nodded, not saying much more.

His attitude was very distant.

Little Taotie looked up at the flowers above his head, now completely withered, only desolate remains.

This meant Little Taotie held no affection; although there was no malice, Little Taotie still felt uncomfortable inside.

She gently bit her lip, her small head slightly drooping.

Hua Jinyan noticed her low spirits, reached out to hold her small hand tightly, and gently said to her, "Once the Ghost Enforcer comes, he’ll know he misunderstood you."

Little Taotie nodded, but still felt uncomfortable inside, unable to be happy.

Little Taotie took out the whistle given to her by Ghost Enforcer Uncle.

The whistle was made of silver, engraved with a brush pen.

Little Taotie blew the whistle, but it didn’t make any sound; suddenly, there was the howling of the wind, a sound of rushing air.

It was like a whistle that could summon the wind, silent, yet able to direct the wind to send messages.

Nothing was faster than the speed of wind.

Within five breaths, a handsome-faced uncle appeared.

Actually, the uncle wasn’t always this handsome; thanks to the chocolate given by Little Taotie, he could choose his own appearance, picking the handsomest one from his past incarnations.

It could only be said that this uncle was also a bit focused on looks.

"Zaizai, what do you need?"

Ghost Enforcer Uncle held a small watermelon, which seemed unripe, with a yellow-green skin.

"Ghost Enforcer Uncle, you’re here!" Little Taotie ran up, her big eyes secretly glancing at the composed Bai Lu uncle.

At this moment, while Lu Yuan appeared calm, inside he was already caught in a storm of emotions.

He wasn’t sure what a Ghost Enforcer looked like, never having seen one, nor heard of their appearance from those colleagues who could see ghosts, but some ancient texts once recorded that Ghost Enforcers carried a small black book, similar to the Death List, listing the names of ghosts to be taken.

"Ghost Enforcer Uncle, are you sure Uncle Tie hasn’t been taken?" Little Taotie asked.

Ghost Enforcer Uncle nodded: "His name isn’t here. I’ve asked others, and they don’t have it either."

Little Taotie’s eyes were full of anticipation: "Doesn’t that mean Uncle Tie isn’t dead, that he’s still alive?"
