Chapter 99 - The Goddess of Hair Growth

Carefully holding the strawberries, the two of them rode home in the minivan.

He and Bai Yuehu had been cleaning the yard when Bai Yuehu's mobile phone rang, and after picking it up and reading it, he turned pale, threw the broom in his hand and went out. He didn't dare to ask Bai Yuehu what had happened, so he thought he would tell Lu Qingjiu when he came back, but instead he saw that Bai Yuehu and Lu Qingjiu had come back together.

"Why are you two together?" Yin Xun was a little confused.

"Oh, I called Bai Yuehu over on some business." Lu Qingjiu said, "and then came back with him."

Yin Xun didn't think much of it, Lu Qingjiu sorted out the things he had brought back, took out the strawberries and asked Yin Xun to wash them, then asked him to pick some eyeballs in the backyard. The eyeballs were quite juicy and would be very tasty for candy canes.

Yin Xun happily went to wash the fruit, while Lu Qingjiu put on his apron and went to the kitchen to get the icing sugar and start boiling the sugar coating.

The sugar coating must be boiled on a low heat, not too fast, or it will easily melt into a soft sugar water.

Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu stood by and waited with rapt attention. Lu Qingjiu saw the icing solidify and said it was ready to eat.

The two of them reached out almost simultaneously, one taking a skewer of strawberries. The icing sugar diluted the sourness of the strawberries perfectly, making the whole fruit much sweeter and richer in taste, soft and with a touch of crunchy sugar.

"It's delicious." Yin Xun's eyes lit up like little stars, "I've never eaten anything this good."

Lu Qingjiu looked kindly at the two of them and picked a bunch himself. He didn't eat the strawberries, but took the grapes, because he had eaten quite a lot of strawberries before, so he didn't particularly like them now.

Eating a candy cane, Lu Qingjiu asked in passing about the day's events, saying that it turns out that non-humans and humans do work together, so wouldn't that solve most of the problems with household registration and ID cards.

Bai Yuehu clicked and chewed on his iced candy cane and mmmed.

"Then why did Shao Hao say you didn't have an identity card or a household registration?" Lu Qingjiu was a little curious.

Bai Yuehu said, "Because I am outside the establishment."

Lu Qingjiu: "Crikey, this is still the establishment"

Bai Yuehu said, "Well."

He also explained what the establishment meant, which was that non-humans who wanted to obtain these things had to enter the human world and work in the human world for at least a few years after receiving a household registration, otherwise their household registration and identity cards would be revoked. Bai Yuehu was unable to leave Shuifu Village, so naturally he could not fulfil this requirement and had no choice but to become a black household. But Zhu Rong was still conscientious and although he did not give Bai Yuehu a household registration and identity card, he did give him a driving licence and a small van that he could drive.

Lu Qingjiu didn't expect the minivan to be delivered to his home by Zhu Rong, and said that he could invite Zhu Rong over for dinner sometime to thank him.

Bai Yuehu, however, grunted, expressing his disdain for it.

The fruits of the human world are quite tasty when made into ice candy gourds, and that eyeball fruit is also delicious when made into ice candy gourds, especially with all the flavours inside, the only beauty is that some of the fruits Lu Qingjiu doesn't like very much, but the only way to know is to bite into them.

Apart from buying fruit, Lu Qingjiu also bought many other ingredients in the supermarket, such as steak and seafood, as well as some things Bai Yuehu must not have eaten before.

After putting the candy canes outside, giving one to Xiao Hua Xiao Hei and a few to the foxes, Lu Qingjiu went to work on lunch. Yin Xun was sent outside to clean up the yard and Bai Yuehu stood by Lu Qingjiu to help.

Lu Qingjiu lowered his head to stir-fry, remembered something and said, "By the way, I forgot to ask you, is my grandfather still to be found?"

"Hmm." Bai Yuehu responded.

Lu Qingjiu says: "Why did Phoenix find my grandfather?"

Bai Yuehu said, "In fact, the Phoenix clan were both gods and of equal power with the Dragons at that time, but later, because of something, they extinguished their clan and there are no more descendants of them in the Otherworld."

Lu Qingjiu listened carefully.

It turns out that although the otherworldly phoenixes were exterminated, there are still some phoenix bloodlines left in the human world, but such phoenixes usually have much diluted bloodlines, plus the human world's spiritual energy is thin, almost all of them are not as powerful as at that time. The most powerful power of the phoenix is the ability to see the eyes of a hundred birds and to understand a hundred

The Spirit of the Birds. To put it simply, they can make contact with all the birds. With so many birds, they naturally form a huge surveillance net, which is perfect for finding people. Originally Zhu Rong wanted Shao Hao to help him, but the phoenix at Shao Hao's house was even more unreliable than Xiao Mei, who had gone straight to nirvana after becoming addicted to gambling.

Lu Qingjiu was a little worried when he heard that Zhu Rong had cut off one of his grandfather's hands the last time he found him, and that if he was found again this time, he would surely suffer other injuries.

Bai Yuehu saw Lu Qingjiu's worry and reached out to gently press Lu Qingjiu's shoulder, saying, "But you don't have to worry too much, in fact Zhu Rong is not only looking for your grandfather when he comes to Phoenix this time."

"So who else?" Lu Qingjiu asked.

"A candle dragon has escaped from the other world." Bai Yuehu said, "This is Zhu Rong's main target."

Lu Qingjiu said, "I see."

Bai Yuehu nodded, "Of course, it's just that this is not announced to the outside world for fear of causing panic, so you don't have to worry too much."

Lu Qingjiu sighed and felt better, but he was still thinking about his grandfather and he wanted to meet him again and have a good chat.

After the arrival of summer, the nights came extraordinarily slowly. It was after eight o'clock before the sun completely disappeared from the horizon, the air was heavy and sticky, there were swallows gliding low in the sky and a huge storm, it seemed, was about to come.

Dark clouds unknowingly covered the moon and stars in the sky, and a gusty wind howled along the roadside, blowing up gravel and leaves.

Wu Xiaohang worked overtime today and by the time he got off work it was almost ten o'clock at night. The crackling rain was pouring down hard and the umbrella he was holding was as fragile as a toy, useless at all. It was hard to get a taxi at this time of the day, so he had no choice but to walk home with his rickety umbrella.

Fortunately, his home is not far from the office, just a few isolated alleys away.

Wu Xiaohang slowly walked on, but when he reached a corner, he heard strange voices, as if someone was talking.

Wu Xiaohang leans over carefully and finally hears the voices coming from over there.

"Hand over the money quickly." Someone was threatening in a vicious voice.

"Oooooooh, I don't have any money." The one being threatened seemed to be a soft teenager with a hint of crying in his voice.

"No money" The torch in the hand of the robber shone towards the object of the robbery, and after getting a good look at him, he instantly shifted his target, "You're a good looking kid, no money, it's okay to have no money, take off your clothes for me"

"Undress," the teenager froze, "undress for what?"

"Take it off when I tell you to," the man said as he raised his dagger.

When Wu Xiaohang saw this, he thought it was a bad idea and hastily took out his mobile phone and called the police. Although the light was dim, Wu Xiaohang could see the boy's soft, white skin and his pretty, sobbing face by the light of the torch.

The mugger was getting excited and was about to reach out and grab the teenager when Wu Xiaohang decided he couldn't wait any longer and shouted at the mugger to stop and turned on his phone's torch: "What are you doing?"

The robber was startled by the sudden appearance of the man, but after realising that Wu Xiaohang was only one person, he quickly calmed down and said, "Mind your own fucking business." He said and gestured at the dagger in his hand.

Wu Xiaohang said, "I have already called the police, so hurry up and get out or you won't be able to get away when the police come later."

The robber's expression turned fierce as he cursed and grabbed the dagger and rushed towards Wu Xiaohang, who immediately dodged out of the way. The alley was very narrow and dark, and when the robber rushed over, he tripped over something and fell to the ground. When Wu Xiaohang saw this, he rushed towards the mugger, grabbed his hand and shouted "run", and the two of them rushed off like a gust of wind.

Wu Xiaohang did not notice, however, that just after he left the alleyway, a blinding flame flared up behind him, which, with great speed, went from the robber's feet directly to his head, and in the space of a breath, the man was reduced to a puddle of black dust, washed down the drain by the sodden rain.

Wu Xiaohang ran for a while and saw that no one was coming after him before he stopped panting. Only after he stopped did he notice that both he and the teenager were soaked through and quickly asked the teenager if he was alright.

The teenager shook his head and said he was fine, but his face was frighteningly white.

He looked at the boy's naked body and said, "Little friend, why don't you go to my house and find some clothes to put on first?" He was worried that the boy would be scared and added, "I'm not a bad person."

The young man looked at Wu Xiaohang's face and hesitantly agreed.

Wu Xiaohang then led the teenager to his home, first letting him take a bath and then finding him a clean outfit. With clean clothes on, the teenager was like a pearl with the dust removed, his pretty face and clean temperament were unmistakably attractive.

Wu Xiaohang asked the boy a few questions and he answered them all, but when it came to his name and family, the boy chose to avoid them. Wu Xiaohang had no choice but to take him to the police station and let the police do their job, but when he heard he was going to the police station, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Okay, I won't call the police first, did you have a fight with your family?" Wu Xiaohang could only compromise for the time being, "You are young, your family will worry about you if you meet such a bad person again outside."

The teenager does not speak.

Wu Xiaohang said, "Alas, I won't call the police, but you must tell me your name."

"Ruhuo." The teenager said, "My name is Wu Ruhuo ."

Wu Xiaohang didn't expect him to have the same surname as himself, but his heart was a little happy, he thought about it and said, "How about this, you stay at my house for a few days, when you have figured it out we will go home, okay?"

The young man looked at Wu Xiaohang and nodded slowly.

Wu Xiaohang only thought that Wu Ruhuo was a runaway from home, who looked like he was from a good family and must have had a problem with his parents and figured it out after a few days. So he didn't take it too seriously and just thought he was doing a good deed by keeping him at home for a few days so that he wouldn't run into any bad people again.

Wu Xiaohang, however, did not know that he had welcomed a king of hell home.

Lu Qingjiu's body is too cold and he can't use the air conditioning, so he has moved to the backyard. There are thick vines over the backyard, which block out the harsh sunlight, and a well to absorb the heat, so it's quite cool.

Bai Yuehu also accompanied Lu Qingjiu in the backyard, where their watermelon was ripe, big and round, with red juice spilling out after cutting it open and the raspy flesh visible inside. After cutting the watermelon, the whole yard was filled with the refreshing aroma of watermelon, Lu Qingjiu could not eat it cold, so he saved a piece for himself and put the rest in the fridge to chill.

Yin Xun is a bit hot, sitting by the well and shaking the fan, Lu Qingjiu went to make hawthorn juice, which is the hawthorn sauce he made before, put water in it and then added ice cubes, sweet and sour, cool and refreshing, and frozen milk popsicles can also be eaten, Lu Qingjiu also thought about making some ice cream, but these holy products have nothing to do with him, he can not even touch a little ice this summer. He can't even touch a bit of ice this summer.

"It's delicious." Yin Xun sipped the iced water and ate the watermelon, feeling good. Bai Yuehu never spat out the seeds when he ate the watermelon, and if Lu Qingjiu hadn't kept an eye on him, he probably would have eaten the rind.

In the evening, after the sun had set, there was finally a cool breeze in the air. Lu Qingjiu had finished his dinner and intended to go to the backyard to sit for a while, but as soon as he reached the backyard, he saw the lady ghost in the well climbing out of it again, sitting by the well with a serious face and thinking about life.

Lu Qingjiu carried the stool to sit next to her and said, "What are you thinking about?"

The lady ghost said, "My name is Fu Ziying, right?"

Lu Qingjiu didn't expect her to remember and didn't deny it, "Yes."

After she became a god, it was as if she had lost a lot of memories, but since she hadn't actively asked about it and didn't seem to care much about what happened before she was born, Lu Qingjiu hadn't taken the initiative to mention it to her. Of course, if she wanted to know, he wouldn't hide it, after all, she was the first productive member of his family, and almost all of the family's economic income depended on the hairspray.

"I'm thinking about a problem." The lady ghost had a soft glow emanating from all over her body, almost like a striking firefly in the darkness, a glow that was not blinding, but rather tinged with holiness, "Why do you think I am so obsessed with my hair."

Lu Qingjiu thought for a moment, "I don't know about that."

The female ghost said, "I'll have to think about it."

Lu Qingjiu :""

The next morning, when Lu Qingjiu went to the backyard to pick green onions to make an omelette, she was stopped by the ghost lady who said she had finally remembered everything about her life, about her scum of a boyfriend, and many other past events. Lu Qingjiu intuited that it was a long story, so he politely asked if he could go back and cook a meal first, then bring some melon seeds over before listening to the story.

The lady ghost thought about it and asked Lu Qingjiu to bring her some melon seeds too, she hadn't had any for a long time

Lu Qingjiu agreed.

After breakfast, Lu Qingjiu did what he had to do before coming into the backyard, bringing with him a pocketful of melon seeds. Yin Xun came along behind Lu Qingjiu, and the two of them brought a small stool and sat down in front of the lady ghost to listen to the story.

The lady ghost grabbed a handful of melon seeds and began to slowly get high, telling the story of her life in a deep tone. It turns out that the ghost lady came to Shuifu Village to have a break with her boyfriend. They had some relationship problems and wanted to fix them, but a heated argument broke out when they arrived at Shuifu Village.

Yin Xun spat out the melon shell and said, "What are you arguing about?" The most that a couple can do is break up, but these two have lost their lives.

The lady ghost said, "You know, nowadays, people are under a lot of pressure, their work and rest are irregular, and when the pressure is big plus the work and rest time is bad, it is easy to that what."

Yin Xun, bewildered: "So what"

The lady ghost pointed to the top of her head.

Yin Xun now understood and with a clap of his hands said, "Oh, bald um." No sooner had he said the words than a clump of hair was stuffed into his mouth and under his horrified gaze the lady ghost said quietly, "Please don't say that word to me."

Yin Xun nodded his head as if it were a garlic pile, before this hair was withdrawn from his mouth.

The lady ghost continued, "He just resented me well, it was supposed to be my birthday, and I ended up hating him when he brought out his birthday present."

Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun almost didn't choke on the melon seeds in their mouths when they heard Miss Ghost Girl say exactly what her birthday present was. I really don't know how Miss Ghost Girl's boyfriend found a girlfriend, he actually pulled out a wig and a set of hair growth supplies from his bag at such a romantic moment.

She then made an irreversible move by reaching out and pulling a handful of hair out of her boyfriend's head, saying that sooner or later he would go bald, or the Mediterranean kind.

At this point, they were completely broken off, and in a fit of rage, the boyfriend mercilessly killed the ghost girl and dumped her body in a deserted well.

Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun, neither of whom had ever suffered from hair loss, were dumbfounded, and it was only after a long time that Yin Xun managed to say, "That's it!"

The lady ghost was furious: "What do you mean just this, do you know how important hair is to me"

Yin Xun was shouted at and wilfully apologised, saying he hadn't meant it that way.

"Heh, now I finally understand my mission to become a god." The light from the lady ghost shone even brighter as she folded her hands in a general gesture of prayer, "I will free the world from the troubles of hair loss."

Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun listened on the sidelines, stoned on melons.

Miss Ghost said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for providing me with this path, may I make a small request?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "You tell me, you tell me." She was the main labourer in the family.

The lady ghost said, "I want to increase the production of hair growth."

Lu Qingjiu: "Well, that's fine, but if you produce too much, it's easy to attract other people's attention." His hairspray is already very popular on the internet, but because the production is so small, not many big companies or organisations have noticed it, after all, it's not touching anyone else's cake, but if you want to increase production, you risk attracting other people's attention.

The lady ghost said, "Also, then don't increase too much, just add another hundred bottles." She now needed even thicker faith power to maintain the Godhead.

Lu Qingjiu agreed to the ghost lady's request and asked if she had any comments or suggestions on the price.

The ghost lady shook her head and said that it was up to Lu Qingjiu, as long as she didn't offer a price that no one could afford.

Lu Qingjiu nodded and said, "Let's keep the price as it is.

"And can you bring me something to eat every day," said the lady ghost, "I find I seem to be able to eat now."

Lu Qingjiu said, "No problem, do you live in a well now?"

"Yeah." The lady ghost said, "When a few more years pass, I might just condense into a solid body."

Lu Qingjiu thought to himself that it would take years, so it was a long way to go, but take your time, there is still a long way to go.

After chatting, Lu Qingjiu was about to go and make lunch. He stood up to say goodbye to the ghost lady and was about to leave when she said, "Mr. Lu, I really appreciate you, but I don't know how to express my gratitude, I can only give you the only thing I have." Lu Qingjiu felt bad when he heard that, and was about to refuse, but those hands had already gently pressed his shoulders, and Yin Xun, who was standing next to him, still high on melon seeds, was not spared either, and was pressed with a dumbfounded face.

Lu Qingjiu :""

Yin Xun :""

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, both seeing in each other's eyes, a tinge of horror.

The first thing Bai Yuehu did when he came back from the field was to go to the kitchen to look for Lu Qingjiu, but as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was startled to see a black figure standing in the kitchen.

The shadow, at first glance, looks like a primitive man, and it is not until the man turns his head that Bai Yuehu realises that it is a man with long black hair.
