"Thank you."
After saying that, he continued walking.
Xinluofu narrowed her eyes.
"What a perceptive little fellow."
When Fengzejian arrived at the infirmary, he saw a woman in a kimono beating a naked child.
The Totsuka sisters have woken up.
However, both of them were on IV drips, and a tall and voluptuous woman wearing a mask and white clothes sat to the side, with her distinctive black eyes and white pupils.
"You are the slit-mouthed woman who was crawling strangely on the ceiling yesterday."
The Slit-Mouthed Woman stared coldly at Feng Zejian.
"If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
Feng Zejian looked at the child on the woman's lap in the kimono.
"You're yesterday's brat."
Feng Zejian won with his fist.
"Damn it, let's settle all the old and new scores today."
The woman in the kimono looked up; she was a classic beauty.
With thick eyebrows, big eyes, red lips, and white teeth, she was clearly a lady from a prominent family, the type of a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman).
"Young master, did Yamato cause you any trouble yesterday?"
"Excuse me, sister, who are you...?"
“I am Yamato’s mother. This child always sneaks out at night to cause trouble. I’m just a woman and can’t keep an eye on him. I’m so sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you. Whatever compensation you want is within my means.”
Feng Zejian wasn't the type to be unable to resist beautiful women, and he genuinely hated this kid.
"You say it this way, but I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it if I tell you the truth."
The woman in the kimono paused for a moment.
"Young master, please speak first."
A wicked smile crept across Feng Zejian's face.
"Find this brat a math tutor, let him learn math, I'll buy him workbooks, I'll give him homework every day, and he can't leave until he finishes it."
The two sisters, lying on the bed, frowned. This was truly modern-day torture.
The woman in the kimono didn't seem to mind.
"Okay, we'll do as you say."
Feng Zejian picked up his phone and bought no less than ten sets of practice problems for each stage of elementary, middle, and high school.
"You brat, just you wait. You're doomed. You'll drown in the ocean of mathematics. Serves you right for scaring people all day long."
The little devil bared his teeth.
"You're still showing your teeth, huh? I'll give you a few more math olympiad books. I'll tear up all the answer keys and make it so hard for you."
"By the way, should I find a math teacher, or will you do it yourself?"
The woman in the kimono smiled and said, "I'll take care of it."
As he spoke, a crisp slap landed on the little devil's smooth buttocks.
The once gentle woman became unusually serious.
"You still dare to show a fierce face to people, huh? What did I teach you before?"
"Waaaaah, Mommy, it hurts."
The woman looked at Feng Zejian and smiled again.
"It's funny."
Chapter 250 All White
"It's okay, the child's suffering is yet to come, I'll laugh then."
The woman in the kimono introduced herself:
“My name is Nadeshiko, and this naughty child is called Yamato.”
"My name is Kazesawa, and I am Yamato's enemy."
Kazema leaned down and pinched the cheek of the brat Yamato. "You little brat, just you wait."
"By the way, Miss Nadeshiko, although you've found a math teacher, I will check this boy's learning progress and homework completion every week."
“If you, as a mother, condone and cover for this, I will hold this brat accountable for the mental harm he has caused me.”
Lying in her hospital bed, Totsuka Yuuka couldn't help but ask, "What happened yesterday?"
Feng Zejian still felt lingering fear when he talked about what happened yesterday.
"Because of this brat, I was chased by a crazy woman who was neither human nor ghost for several hours."
The slit-mouthed woman found these words particularly grating.
Although it sounds unpleasant, it is indeed an undeniable fact.
Tomie Kawakami peeked out from outside the door.
Everyone's here.
Tomie Kawakami walked in with her hands behind her back.
Good morning, everyone. Especially Kazesawa.
"To be honest, I'm not in a very good mood."
As he spoke, Feng Zejian walked toward the two sisters' hospital beds.
"How are you guys?"
Totsuka Yuhi looked at Kazesawa without saying a word.
Yuuka Totsuka said, "I'm fine, but my older sister needs to stay in bed for another day."
"It's alright as long as nothing's wrong. Congratulations to you two sisters for obtaining the contract."
Upon hearing this, Totsuka Yuuka's smile vanished.
"To be honest, I don't think this is good news."
"Why?" Feng Zejian asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's all white."
Feng Zejian was stunned for a moment.
"What do you mean? Where is it white? Your hair doesn't look the same as before."
"My hair is dyed, of course you can tell. Look at my eyebrows."
Feng Zejian looked closely and saw that it had indeed turned whiter.
"It's alright, it looks pretty good."
For once, Yuuka Totsuka's expression showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Then it's all turned white."
“There… oh~” Feng Zejian was puzzled for a second, then suddenly realized.
"Just dye it back, it's no big deal."
"Anywhere else is fine, but how do you dye it there?"
Feng Zejian fell silent.
"It seems so. Those places are different from other places. If something goes wrong, it's not good."
Feng Zejian lay on the hospital bed where he had slept the day before.
After lying down for a while, the alarm clock next to them rang, and the Slit-Mouthed Woman got up to change the nutrient solution for the two of them.
Honestly, it's hard to connect this woman with the terrifying monster from yesterday.
The Slit-Mouthed Woman also sensed Feng Zejian's gaze and looked at him, her gaze calm and revealing no emotion.
"By the way, what do they serve for lunch here? They don't eat people, do they?"
Tomie Kawakami chimed in, "How could that be? We have a cafeteria here too, and the food is just like outside. I can take you there, Dr. Uno, you can come along too."
“Okay.” The Slit-Mouthed Woman nodded.
Kazema found it strange that even though Nadeshiko was right there, Kawakami Tomie didn't even glance at her, and the same was true for Nadeshiko.
The two seemed to live in two different worlds, with no interaction whatsoever.
Kazema looked at Totsuka Yuuka.
"I'll go have lunch with them first. Do you need me to bring you anything?"
"I've had an IV drip, I'm not hungry, you can go now."
"learn."
Kazema, dressed in his clothes, followed behind Kawakami Tomie and the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
"Are you not familiar with Nadeshiko, or is there some other reason? Something feels off."
Tomie Kawakami looked at Kazesawa. "Even you sensed it?"
"Is there a feud?"
Tomie Kawakami shook her head and explained:
"No, there are factions in the Ghostly Tales Club. Dr. Mao and I belong to the urban legend faction. Compared to those spirits, we are relatively young. The culture of seniority exists everywhere."
“In this circle, young people are all arrogant, and the seniors are unwilling to bow their heads and keep their airs. We don’t have much contact with anyone.”
"For those outside the circle, it's another attitude."
“That Nadeshiko was one of the more senior people here. She could sincerely apologize to you and even punish her own child, but she didn’t mention a word about her child opening Dr. Uno’s door without permission, nor did she apologize to Dr. Uno.”
Feng Zejian glanced at the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and to be honest, he felt a little sorry for her.
There are many cafeterias here, offering a wide variety of dishes such as milk tea, sushi, and ramen.
However, it's a membership card system.
"To thank you for yesterday, I'll treat you to today's meal, and I'll also cover Dr. Mao's portion."
The slit-mouthed woman did not refuse and took the tray to get a boxed meal.
Kazema opted for a tonkotsu ramen.
Tomie Kawakami chose a vegetable salad.
Tomie Kawakami and the Slit-Mouthed Woman sat together, while Kazesawa sat opposite them.
There weren't many people in the cafeteria at this time.
And almost all of them are humanoid.
At most, their facial features are a bit strange, like having ears or horns on their heads, or a tail on their buttocks.
"By the way, could you elaborate on the factions and circles you mentioned before?"
"Dr. Mao and I are conceptual entities born from urban legends of recent decades. Going back further, there are folk legends from the countryside. Some of them are real, while others are conceptual entities like us."
"Then there are ghosts that are formed from the lingering resentment of people and animals after they die."
"Simply put, there are urban factions, rural factions, undead factions, and monster factions."
"At the very top is the monster faction. They have great strength and a long history, and they are in a leading position among the four factions. The undead faction and the rural faction are neck and neck, while the urban faction is a new faction with fewer members and no particularly strong members, so it is at the bottom."
Feng Zejian nodded thoughtfully.
"In terms of conceptual entities, does the more people know about your urban legends, the stronger you become?"
