"That's true in theory, but it's just theory."
Feng Zejian stopped asking questions and continued eating in silence.
After finishing his meal, Feng Zejian did not return to the infirmary first, but went to the lobby instead.
Only the newlywed woman was in the hall; as expected, nothing much was happening, and everyone went about their own business.
Kazema lay on the sofa looking at the ceiling, while Shinrafu hung upside down on the ceiling, smiling at Kazema.
Kazema could sense that Shinra-fu wanted to get close to him, but he also felt that she really wanted to eat him.
Feng Zejian felt somewhat lost, realizing that his position within the Ghostly Affairs Club wasn't quite clear anymore.
Am I an outsider? But I'm familiar with many people here, so it doesn't seem like I'm one of them.
Guanye District is like a stepping stone for me, but now, the Snow Woman's attitude is unclear, and I don't know how to conduct myself.
Chapter 251 The Name of the Eight-Foot Master - Eight-Foot Jade
The contract was not cancelled, and the other party did not take back the props.
People might be waiting for you to bring it up yourself, so you should take the initiative to reach out to them.
Kazema arrived at Yuki-onna's room and knocked on the door.
However, after several attempts, there was no response from inside.
Feng Zejian turned around and saw a tall figure he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Master Ba-chi, when did you arrive?"
"I've been here ever since you hesitated in front of the Snow Woman's gate. Is something on your mind?"
Feng Zejian nodded. "A little."
"The Snow Woman isn't here. Come with me."
Kaze followed behind the eight-foot-tall lady to her room.
Because of his size, the furniture and items in the room of an eight-foot-tall adult all look quite large.
"You can tell me anything. I think I'm better at comforting people than Yuki-onna."
Feng Zejian gave a helpless, bitter smile. "It's hard to imagine that Lady Yuki-onna would comfort people. I'm just grateful she didn't look at me with a cold, disdainful gaze."
"I'm a little unsure of Lady Yuki's attitude towards me."
"Didn't the Snow Woman make a contract with you? Doesn't that mean she approves of you?"
"I feel like I've let Lady Yuki-onna down."
Feng Zejian remained silent, unsure of what his emotions were.
The eight-foot-tall man looked at Feng Zejian and slowly asked:
"Do you remember what you said when you first came here?"
Feng Zejian gave an awkward laugh.
"Don't mention it, those were just things they said on purpose to bolster their courage."
The eight-foot-tall man shook his head slightly.
"That's not what I meant; I meant what comes next."
Feng Zejian was deep in thought.
"I want to have the power to protect myself in the foliage viewing area."
"Do you remember what the Snow Woman said?"
"Lady Yuki-onna said she wouldn't dare set foot anywhere herself, so why should I?"
The eight-foot-tall man tilted his head and smiled.
"So, have any of us asked anything of you? Has anyone said you have to do it?"
Feng Zejian was stunned.
"It seems like all of these are my own demands, but I'm also the one who can't do them."
"You are only human. There are some things that you only realize are impossible after you try them."
"As a human being, you have done very well; it's just that you demand too much of yourself."
Upon careful consideration, Feng Zejian realized that it was true. At first, he was only investigating the truth of Guanye District, and he already knew the truth. However, he felt that he still had more to do, so he continued on his own, thinking that he could save the people of Guanye District.
Having obtained power that didn't belong to him, he became somewhat carried away by it and almost forgot that he was a fragile human being.
“I heard that you brought two humans here.”
“Only internal staff are qualified and authorized to recruit members. The fact that the Snow Woman tacitly approved of your behavior means that she recognizes you as a member of the Ghostly Affairs Club.”
"The Snow Woman isn't a very tolerant person, but she's quite tolerant of you. Perhaps her impression of you started to change the moment you first chose to form a contract with her."
Feng Zejian felt much better after hearing what the eight-foot-tall man said.
But I still have some concerns.
"However, I still feel uneasy if I don't say it outright."
"You should realize that when the Snow Woman didn't expel you, the choice was already yours. You could leave if you wanted, or stay if you wanted. It's just that the uncertainty makes you uneasy."
Feng Zejian's pupils contracted slightly.
The words of the eight-foot-tall man enlightened Feng Zejian.
If you want to stay, why don't you say so? How will she know you want to stay if you don't say so?
"Thank you, Lord Eight-Foot."
"I wish I could help you."
As he spoke, the eight-foot-tall man took out a key.
"Here's the key to Yuki-onna's room. Go and wait for her there; she should be back soon."
"No rush, no rush. If you're not busy, I can chat with you."
The eight-foot-tall man smiled. "You have a very keen sense of emotions."
"It's not that, it's just that I feel it's a bit much for me to turn around and throw myself into someone else's arms after you've gone to such great lengths to help me, Eight-Foot Master."
"Is the Eight-Foot Master also part of the urban legend faction?"
The eight-foot-tall man pondered for a while and then gave his answer.
"That's it."
The eight-foot-tall man's gaze was calmer than calm, as if he were restraining himself, or as if he were hiding something.
In Feng Zejian's opinion, the Eight-Foot Man was not as terrifying as the urban legends portrayed him to be.
Looking at her, Fengzejian always thinks of Yaoji Temple.
If the Eight-Foot Elder is a conceptual entity, then what about the Eight Hundred Temples?
The two still have many similarities; perhaps it was the urban legend that made the Eight-Foot Master famous.
Perhaps they are just a special group that is treated differently.
That's how the world is; if you don't fit in, you'll be ostracized.
Being too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, too beautiful, too ugly, or even too mediocre will lead to being ostracized.
Or perhaps these are just excuses; they simply want to exclude you.
It's just human morbid curiosity.
"Lord Hachisho is a very gentle and kind person. I like Lord Hachisho very much."
"It is an honor to be liked by you."
"Sir, what is your real name?"
The eight-foot-tall man shook his head in confusion.
“I don’t have that kind of thing, and everyone calls me Eight Feet.”
"Isn't it a bit too vague to just say eight feet? A name is just a label; it's not hard to come up with one for yourself."
The eight-foot-tall man looked towards Feng Zejian.
"Since you've put it that way, why don't you give me a name?"
Feng Zejian was in a bit of a dilemma.
"That's possible, but what if Master Bachi doesn't like it?"
"You won't dislike it."
The smile of the eight-foot-tall adult gave Feng Zejian confidence.
"Then let's take 'Yasakani' as our surname, 'Yasakani no Magatama'..."
Feng Zejian immediately thought of this, but it was definitely not suitable as a name, as it would be suspected of trying to ride on the coattails of a trending topic.
"How about removing the magatama and calling it Yasakani no Ya?
The eight-foot-tall man nodded.
"Okay, this is the name. I'll use this name from now on."
Yaksha quickly accepted her new name.
Yasakani looked towards the door.
"The Snow Woman is back, you can go now."
"Then I'll take my leave first, Lady Joan."
Eight-foot-long jade pendant wore a smile.
"Ah."
Eight-foot-long jade watched Feng Zejian leave.
"They changed it really quickly, Yasakani no Kagami... it's quite a nice name."
As soon as Fengze stepped out of Yasakani's room, he saw Yuki-onna's back as she entered the room.
Feng Zejian quickly ran forward and blocked the door crack with his hand before closing it.
A wave of pain swept through the air; the door had squeezed his hand.
Fortunately, the Snow Woman's movements weren't too forceful, otherwise Kazesawa might have ended up like the Hundred-Eyed Giant.
Chapter 252 An Unexpected Contract
The Snow Woman opened the door and looked at Feng Zejian strangely.
"Is something wrong?"
Feng Zejian covered his hand and nodded.
"Lady Yuki-onna, I do have something to discuss with you. May I come in and speak with you?"
The snow woman turned and walked into the house.
"Remember to close the door when you come in."
Feng Zejian closed the door with his other good hand.
After walking a distance, the Snow Woman turned around and looked sharply at Feng Zejian.
"What's your business."
Looking at the snow woman's cold appearance, Feng Zejian suddenly lost his confidence.
"Um... um, could you please not kick me out?"
The Snow Woman frowned slightly.
"Did I say that?"
