Chapter 28: Explain! Promise me, don’t be a simp
Chen Pingchuan looked at Guo Yihang’s timid expression and asked irritably, "Seriously, what are you afraid of?"
Guo Yihang glanced around cautiously, then returned to Chen Pingchuan’s side and explained mysteriously, "Bro, I’m telling you, you should seriously find another place to live."
"Cut the crap and get to the point."
"Uh... do you remember that story you told me about the Yin-Yang Road?"
"That was ages ago. Why are you bringing it up now? You were the one who begged me to tell you." Chen Pingchuan retorted. "You’re the one who said you wanted to hear a special little story with plenty of conflict, thrills, and scenes where the main characters were screaming with passion. That’s the only reason I told it to you."
Hearing this, Guo Yihang was instantly speechless. He knew Chen Pingchuan was fully aware of what he *really* meant. But since Pingchuan insisted on spouting such straight-faced nonsense, what could he possibly do?
While internally mocking Chen Pingchuan’s childishness, his mouth didn’t stay idle. "Bro, I’m really not joking with you. Look at the weather—it’s hot enough to roast someone alive out there, but your room always has this inexplicable chill. So, I suspect... your room... is haunted."
Chen Pingchuan raised his arm and lightly punched Guo Yihang, cursing, "Stop with the superstitious nonsense. If anyone’s a ghost, it’s you—a big-headed one at that."
Hissing in mock pain, Guo Yihang rubbed his shoulder with a resentful look. "Bro, if I did something to upset you, just say so. No need for cheap shots. If you’re still not satisfied with last night, I’ve got a bit of cash left. You could go for another ’foot massage’ to relax, you know?"
"Also, bro, I’m serious, you really might have..."
Chen Pingchuan interrupted Guo Yihang’s superstitious rambling. "Shut up. Listen to me, I have something important to say."
I know exactly what’s going on, Chen Pingchuan thought. If I’m not mistaken, this has to be because of Black Demon No. 1. Living creatures have a natural instinct. When they encounter a potential threat, their bodies send a warning to the brain, which in turn produces feelings of fear and dread. Clearly, the fatty was just intimidated by Black Demon No. 1’s aura.
