Chapter 5: Big Brother the Demon King

"Hmm, I need to go to the place where Daddy encountered the dirty thing today to find out clearly," Niannian replied in a childish voice after thinking for a while.

There are many reasons why people may encounter ghosts.

The first is for revenge. Those who were persecuted and killed in their previous lives turn into evil ghosts after death. Their grudges linger, and they seek revenge on their enemies.

The second is going to extremely yin places. Such places are home to many ghosts, some of which have malicious intentions and will actively harm people.

The third is to find a substitute. Some ghosts are unable to reincarnate for various reasons. They must kill someone to take their place before they can be reborn.

The fourth is simply encountering a very evil ghost.

The fifth is a problem with the feng shui layout.

She couldn't tell just from Daddy's facial appearance what exactly caused him to encounter the ghost. So she had to go to the scene of the incident to confirm.

The reason she could be sure that Daddy had encountered a ghost was that she sensed the yin and evil aura on him.

"I see..." Yu Shanhe thought for a moment and continued, "Can Daddy use the safety talismans for the next few days? I've been a bit busy with work recently. I need to sort out some things before I can take my baby to the company."

The messy accounts of the company were coming to an end. It would only take two or three more days to handle them properly.

Yu Shanhe thought that since the safety talismans were so useful, he could use them as a temporary measure. After he finished dealing with everything, he would take his precious daughter to the company.

Otherwise, he would be too busy to take care of his daughter. It would be bad if something unexpected happened.

Moreover, he didn't want his daughter to face such terrifying things as today.

He would work for a few more days to make sure the company was safe, and then take his daughter to check the situation. If there was any danger, he wouldn't take her.

As a father, he wanted to protect his daughter. He didn't want his beloved baby to face the same danger as him.

Out of a father's instinct to protect his child, Yu Shanhe completely ignored Niannian's abilities.

The safety talismans she drew could cause so much damage to ghosts. How could she be afraid of such things?

It could only be said that he was too concerned and became confused. In order to protect his daughter, he subconsciously regarded her as a vulnerable group.

"Okay then. I think Daddy won't encounter any major problems recently. Just using the safety talismans for now should be fine," Niannian tilted her little head and calculated carefully.

Daddy wouldn't face any life - and - death disasters in the next seven days, so she could rest assured.

After calculating that her father wouldn't be in great danger, Niannian reached out and grabbed her small hip bag, hugging it in her arms. She rummaged through it and finally took out a stack of yellow papers.

These were all safety talismans. She had drawn them while practicing a few days ago. There were plenty of them in her little bag.

Although every talisman she drew was effective, she still practiced every day without a break. Over time, she had saved up a lot of talisman papers.

She had never had a chance to use them before, but now they finally came in handy!

Looking at the large handful of talisman papers his daughter took out, Yu Shanhe fell silent.

He seriously suspected that his daughter was in the talisman - wholesale business. Otherwise, how could she take out so many casually?

Didn't the masters he knew say that drawing talismans was extremely mentally and physically exhausting, so real talismans were very rare?

"Baby, how do you have so many talismans?" Yu Shanhe couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

"Hehe, I drew these while practicing. Master said my talismans were too ugly and asked me to practice more to make them look better. But even now, my talismans are still ugly... But don't worry, Daddy. Although these talismans are ugly, they're very useful!" Niannian said with a shy smile.

Her calligraphy was the ugliest in the Taoist temple. Even the senior brother who was often scolded by the master for being idle had calligraphy a thousand times better than hers.

Even though she had been drawing talismans every day without a break, her calligraphy still hadn't improved.

In the master's words...

Yes! It was an eyesore!

"Er, okay then. Daddy will take these talismans first. It's getting late. Baby, go to sleep quickly. Daddy will take you to the company in a few days," Yu Shanhe looked at the words on the talisman papers. To be fair, he couldn't bring himself to praise them.

Every stroke was as crooked as an eel.

But this was his own daughter, his beloved daughter!

Of course, he couldn't bring himself to discourage her, so it was better to change the topic.

It was already very late. The little baby really should go to sleep.

"Okay. Thank you for your concern, Daddy. Good night, Daddy!"

Niannian was really sleepy. Her biological clock was always very punctual. Staying up so late to talk to Daddy today was a rare thing.

Watching her father leave the room, the little girl flopped onto the bed and fell asleep instantly with her eyes closed.

In her dream, she returned to the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple hidden in the mountains looked a bit shabby on the outside. It leaked rain in summer and let in the wind in autumn, but the atmosphere was always lively and warm.

There was the master and the eldest senior brother practicing kung fu early in the morning.

The second senior brother got up early to make breakfast for everyone.

The third senior brother would throw tantrums and try every means to be lazy.

The fourth senior brother would secretly watch him and then report him.

And she would hug the little animals that came from the back mountain and play happily in the yard.

She would wait for the senior brothers to call her for meals and wait for the master to gently stroke her head after his morning exercise.

Everything was so peaceful, beautiful, and happy.

Suddenly, a familiar yet strange face appeared in the dream.

That face was smiling wickedly, with a wild laugh that sounded like the howl of a demon.

He said, "Hand over Yu Niannian. I must take her away today! I'm going to take her back, torture and bully her! I'll make sure she'll never see her senior brothers or the master again!"

This face belonged to none other than her second elder brother, Yu Sheng.

Then, the evil demon Yu Sheng snatched her away. No matter how hard the master and senior brothers chased, they couldn't catch up.

Then Yu Sheng took her to his lair. There was also a little monster in the lair, who looked just like Zhao Tang.

Zhao Tang rushed towards her wildly, breaking all the magic tools and gifts the senior brothers and the master had given her. She also glared at her fiercely.

Yu Sheng and Zhao Tang stood together, smiling wickedly. No matter how much she cried and shouted, no one paid attention to her.

The dream suddenly ended here.

Niannian suddenly opened her eyes. Looking at the beautiful princess room, she was in a daze for a long time.

It took her a while to realize that it was just a dream.

She quickly patted her little chest to calm her pounding heart.

It was so scary! So scary!

Second elder brother almost scared Niannian to death!

"Yu Niannian, get up and come down for breakfast as soon as you wake up. Don't starve yourself and make me get scolded!"

Oh no!

A voice suddenly came from outside the door. Niannian instantly recognized it as the voice of the demon king in her dream.

She was so scared that she covered her mouth to stop herself from making a sound. She fought back the urge to cry out loud.

Woo~ It's so scary~

It's another day when she misses the Taoist temple!
