Chapter 1184: Chapter 353: [Used It Myself First?]
Chapter 353 [Did you use it yourself first?]
The female ghost’s gaze also came over.
At the instant their eyes finally met, Chen Yan suddenly felt a deep sense of unease emerging in his heart—as if his heartbeat had started to fluctuate irregularly, akin to the sensation a heart disease patient feels during palpitations.
It was like he had just finished running three thousand meters, and his heart seemed no longer his own.
He even briefly experienced a sense of blackout.
This all happened in an instant.
In less than one or two seconds, all the abnormalities seemed to disappear, returning to calm.
Yet under the gaze of the female ghost, which was almost devoid of emotion, Chen Yan instinctively averted his gaze, avoiding eye contact.
Chen Yan shifted his view a few inches, looking at the wall to the left of the ghost.
What a terrifying gaze!
This type of gaze isn’t the typical pressure of a formidable master—in fact, even though he knew the other was a Venerable Saint of the Domain Realm, at this moment, it was in this world!
Under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao of this world, the Venerable Saint of the Domain Realm could not exert any imposing aura or anything like that here.
The stronger the power, the greater the suppression.
Looking at the example of the old lady, this esteemed saint is probably suppressed to the level of an ordinary person in this world.
Yet, that gaze is still terrifying!
Like that cold gaze, touching his own line of sight, Chen Yan felt a shiver deep in his soul!
His soul felt as if it were like a flimsy plastic bag cast into the eye of a storm, ready to be torn into shreds by the whirlwind at any moment!
As Chen Yan calmed himself and turned his gaze back, he was stunned.
The ghost, gone.
(Is this a refusal to communicate?)
Chen Yan sighed inwardly.
In the time that followed, Chen Yan waited for a while and then proceeded to do other things by himself.
He fed Big White a meal, went to the kitchen to slice a few oranges, opened the fridge, found a yogurt that was going to expire in a week, and poured it over the oranges, making himself a yogurt fruit platter.
As he was busy in the kitchen, Chen Yan’s peripheral vision caught the return of the female ghost.
She appeared behind him at some point, standing quietly at the corner of the dining room outside the kitchen, her gaze still as calm and deep as an abyss, quietly watching his every move.
Chen Yan calmly sat down at the dining table with the yogurt fruit platter, eating piece by piece with a fork and after a couple of bites, pointed at the plate before him: "Want a piece? Oh right, in your current state, you’re considered a Spirit Body, right? Can you eat?"
The female ghost’s face showed no sign of movement, as if Chen Yan’s words were a soft breeze brushing past her ears, just watching him quietly.
Chen Yan was helpless, so he continued eating the fruit platter himself, finally picking up the plate, licking off the bits of yogurt stuck to the plate bottom, and after putting the plate down, he looked at her, speaking seriously: "Let’s come to an agreement, when I go back to my room later to rest, can you not stare at me when I bathe and sleep? It’s really unsettling."
The female ghost remained unresponsive.
Chen Yan thought for a moment, he went over to the television and turned it on, accessed Tencent’s platform, and put on an immortal fantasy drama that was quite popular two years ago, starting from the first episode.
"If you’re bored, you can watch TV."
The female ghost stayed unresponsive.
Chen Yan headed upstairs, and after climbing the stairs, he turned back to glance.
Thankfully, the female ghost didn’t follow.
He hoped she would be attracted by the television.

Returning to his room, Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and went into the bathroom.
He didn’t intend to shower, simply washed up and brushed his teeth.
After wiping his face, he looked up and suddenly his complexion changed: "Hey! You’ll scare someone to death!"
The female ghost was standing quietly behind him, less than half a meter away from his back.
Suddenly, she slowly raised her hand, one finger pointing, and gently drew a few strokes.
At the same time, a few words slowly appeared in the fogged mirror on the washstand in front of Chen Yan, obscured by the steam from washing: "Not entertaining."
Hmm?
Chen Yan was momentarily puzzled.
Another word quickly appeared.
"Change."
Chen Yan thought briefly, understanding the ghost’s intention.
"The TV’s boring? Okay, I’ll change it for you."
Chen Yan quickly dashed downstairs, the television was still on, showing halfway through the first episode of the fantasy drama.
This drama gained popularity a couple of years ago, and its leads became major stars. However, Chen Yan had only heard of it and hadn’t watched it himself.
Standing before the television, before changing the program, he instinctively watched for two minutes and understood.
Can this be entertaining?
What nonsense of an immortal fantasy drama, a bunch of Immortals up to no good, only thinking about romance.
The female Immortal spent all day ogling a handsome male Immortal, supposedly a war god, while the war god showed a hint of affection toward the young female lead Immortal, sending fellow Celestial Court female Immortals into a jealous frenzy, tormenting, and bullying the female lead.
The vast Celestial Court does nothing serious, just constantly embroiling the Heavenly Emperor in petty disputes over love and jealousy.
Is this cultivation or is it cultivating a romance-driven mind?
