The familiar Room 401 remains.
Just this time, when Zhou Ying walked in.
The clothing on Bai Lu's body is no longer the blue and white gown that has been washed countless times.
Instead, it was the robe that Zhou Ying had seen only twice, a traditional mandarin robe, and he wore a nine-jeweled crown on his head.
"Little Zhou Ying, you've come? Sit down!"
With the change of appearance, Bai Lu's aura naturally became more imposing. After giving Zhou Ying a quick glance, he naturally pointed to the small wooden bench by the bed.
"Hmm... How should I address you now?"
Zhou Ying froze for a moment. This was the first time she was speaking to Bai Lu in his formal attire.
Especially the age of this person, it may be measured in thousands or tens of thousands of years.
"It's all right, I still go by the name of Bai Lu among mortals, little Zhou Ying, you can call me whatever you like."
"Right, why did you come to find me tonight?"
Bai Lu smiled faintly, his tone was rare gentleness.
This caused Zhou Ying to involuntarily shiver.
To know that in the past, this guy was just a pure mental illness, even if he recovered over these two nights, he was still in a high and mighty attitude.
As if now, the sudden gentleness only made Zhou Ying feel that there must be a trick involved.
After experiencing so many years in the world of cattle and horses, Zhou Yian still has this much experience and insight.
Acting overly friendly without a motive, one is either a thief or an evil person!
However, thinking about the call from her grandmother and the limited time left, Zhou Yian quickly explained.
"There are some things at home that need to be taken care of, so I want to borrow some things from you. I don't know if it's convenient for you."
Zhou Ying's eyes darted back and forth between Bai Lu.
Ever since she had entered, there had been a continuous flow of heat coming from her arm.
Low whispers kept echoing in her ears.
It seems that in the eyes of the Jing Tian Tu Lu, the white Lu now is a walking treasure house!
"Borrowing things?"
Bai Lu's golden eyes blinked, looking up and down at Zhou Yian for a moment, making Zhou Yian's scalp tingle.
After all, strictly speaking, the exchange of interests between the two had already ended.
Now, borrowing things from Bai Lu abruptly feels somewhat embarrassing.
It's just like when the two of them just met for two days, suddenly asking him for a loan.
"So that's it!"
Suddenly, Bai Lu revealed a look of sudden realization, and his mouth even curled up into a playful smirk.
"Ah?"
Seeing the sudden laughter from Bai Lu, Zhou Ying's heart began to tremble even more. Is this guy going to try and use this as leverage against me?
"If my guess is correct, little Zhou Ying, your abilities should require the use of someone else's items, right?"
"Like the negligee of that low-level cat spirit, and those two pieces of heavenly punishment paper!"
Bai Lu's eyes shone with brilliance.
Ever since he woke up, he has been contemplating Zhou Ying's situation.
After so many days of interacting, Bai Lu can vouch for Zhou Yian's identity as a mortal with his title as a prince.
But Zhou Ying turns into a demon and summons heavenly punishment.
This really made Bai Lu ponder deeply for a long time.
However, now that Zhou Yian has made a request, Bai Lu has finally seen through the clues.
"There are indeed some awakened individuals among mortals who possess supernatural powers, and it seems you are one of them."
"But I don't know if your ability to 'borrow things' is permanent or a one-time thing?"
Bai Lu looked at Zhou Yian again, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.
This was not just idle curiosity, but more importantly, it was related to Bai Lu's future plans.
"I don't know, but that's not important. Just take a look and see if you have anything that you can lend me."
Zhou Yian doesn't care at all that Bai Lu has seen through her abilities.
If it weren't for the voice in her head constantly limiting her speech, she would have revealed herself yesterday.
After all, compared to this messy ability, her own life is clearly more important.
If she could break free from the remaining nine days of life, she would be overjoyed!
"Hmm... Wait a moment, let me think it over carefully."
Bai Lu waved his hand, resting his chin in his hand, giving a look of serious contemplation.
"Not big shots, I'm in a hurry!"
1 minute later, Zhou Ying turned off the incoming call reminder of the network car. She couldn't help but urge him.
Slap!
Just as Zhou Yian finished speaking, Bai Lu had already thrown his waist sword over to her.
"Try using this thing first."
Without any further words, Bai Lu pointed directly at the sword that had landed on the hospital bed.
"This is the Heavenly Sword given to me by my father, not something that can be used by the blood of the Underworld..."
Before Bai Lu could finish speaking, he watched in disbelief as Zhou Ying picked up the sword.
"Not what?"
While picking up the sword, Zhou Yian raised his head in confusion.
Why is this person talking only half of what they're saying?
[Special Immortal Technique: Communion with the Beyond, unlocked successfully. Successfully copied the abilities of the Underworld Soul Collector, reward of 90 days of life.]
Is that the white and easy 90 days of life?
Hearing the voice in her head, Zhou Ying's face lit up immediately.
This scene suddenly made Bai Lu feel an inexplicable sense of blockage in his heart.
The celestial sword of the Underworld, just like that, taken by a mortal?
Does the Underworld not care about face?
Doesn't the sixth son of the underworld's king not care about face?
"H cough cough, nothing important!"
Facing Zhou Ying's puzzled gaze, Bai Lu could only pretend to cough twice and quickly changed the subject, "Tell me what abilities you have gained."
"What 'communion with the beyond'? What is that for? Is it for talking to ghosts?"
Zhou Yian acted like a child who just got a new toy, excitedly gesturing with the sword in her hand.
"Don't be ridiculous!"
With a swift motion, Bai Lu raised his hand, and the sword instantly slipped out of Zhou Yian's grasp, flying back to its place at Bai Lu's waist.
This scene is like a parent forcibly taking away a child's toy.
"Communion with the Beyond, as the name implies, is the ability to communicate with the underworld and heaven."
"With the power of communion with the Beyond, you can open up spaces at any time and send restless spirits and ghosts into the underworld."
With Zhou Ying's piercing gaze fixed on him, Bai Lu's face turned red, something rare for him.
But there was nothing he could do. After all, the sword was Bai Lu's only means of self-preservation at the moment.
He really didn't want to lend it to Zhou Yian.
"Hem, then... Your grandmother should also be a mortal, right? This means that the events happening at your grandmother's place should have nothing to do with ghosts or other supernatural beings."
"So, my abilities should be of no use to you. Why don't you go look for that low-level cat spirit? Fighting, after all, is more about animal instinct."
Bai Lu really couldn't bear the gaze of Zhou Yian's eyes, so he dryly chuckled and turned his back, leaving Zhou Yian with a seemingly majestic, but actually weak figure.
But this was indeed the truth.
So far, Zhou Yian has gained two abilities from Bai Lu.
None of them have anything to do with fighting.
