Chapter 29: May Wealth Spring Forth at First Sight; Peace Under Heaven

"Pei Yanlin, you are being absolutely disgraceful. Do your fans know you're like this?" Pei Hexuan covered his face, unable to bear looking at him.

He didn't even want to admit this guy was his son when they went out.

"This isn't disgraceful at all. It's just that little sister is too powerful, and I'm just too scared. If I don't cling to her, I feel like someone is plotting against me. Little sister, I’m putting my life in your hands now," Pei Yanlin retorted without a shred of shame, clutching Bai Qianzhou’s leg even tighter.

After everything he had been through, Bai Qianzhou had become his greatest pillar of support. From now on, he decided, he would give all the money he earned to his sister and simply hide behind her. The outside world was far too terrifying; staying by her side was the only thing that gave him a sense of security.

The Pei couple, unwilling to look at their spineless son any longer, told Bai Qianzhou to get some rest and retreated to their room. Having been deeply shaken, they needed time to recover—it was destined to be a sleepless night.

"Little sister, you will protect me, right?" Pei Yanlin held her leg tightly, looking up like a frightened kitten, yearning for her comfort.

Bai Qianzhou took a bite of an apple, the crunch echoing sharply in the quiet air. She pulled out the talisman she had used to capture the female ghost and teased, "How about you have another chat with her?"

"Heh, that’s really not necessary." Pei Yanlin released her instantly, his expression freezing as if he had seen a ghost, his heart filled with terror. He had a feeling that if he didn't let go, he would actually end up seeing one! He was terrified!

Really terrified!

"What is it now?" Bai Qianzhou leaned back.

"Come with me to the shoot tomorrow, okay? Without you there, I just can't feel at ease." Pei Yanlin sat on the floor, looking at Bai Qianzhou with teary eyes.

"No," Bai Qianzhou turned away mercilessly.

"Why?" Pei Yanlin persisted, his eyes flickering with desperation.

"Too lazy." Her answer was crisp, clean, and completely heartless.

"It doesn't matter! You can just sit there. As long as I can see you, I'll be calm. I’ll cover all your snacks and drinks tomorrow, how about that? Besides, you're my bodyguard; you promised to protect me." Pei Yanlin sat on the floor, looking up at her with anticipation.

Bai Qianzhou thought about it. It seemed she had said something like that before. Since she had taken so much of his money, she couldn't just ignore him, right? Yes, that was it—it certainly wasn't for the snacks he was promising. After a few mental gymnastics, she successfully hypnotized herself.

"Fine. Call me when you leave tomorrow morning."

"I knew you were the best, little sister! What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it in advance!" Pei Yanlin scrambled up, his face beaming with excitement.

"Spicy strips, potato chips, beef jerky, sunflower seeds, cola, strawberry milk..." Bai Qianzhou rattled off a list of everything she wanted to eat. Pei Yanlin’s eyes glazed over. It was a bit much; he hadn't memorized it all. But that was fine—he would just have someone buy everything.

Because Pei Yanlin was too nervous to sleep alone, Bai Qianzhou had no choice but to stay with him. After all, she had taken his money, hadn't she?

However, there was one more thing to do before that...

Pei Yanlin hid behind the sofa, watching as a pitch-black vortex suddenly appeared in the room. Two figures, one black and one white, emerged, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

The one in white wore a tall hat with four characters inscribed: "Wealth at First Sight." The one in black wore a tall hat inscribed with: "Peace Under Heaven."

They were the Impermanence duo! He was seeing the Black and White Impermanence! A flash of fear crossed Pei Yanlin's heart, only to be immediately swallowed by an even deeper sense of shock.
