Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Going to Sleep

"I guess they won’t be able to sleep tonight. To avoid arousing any suspicions, you should sleep with me tonight. This bed is big enough for both of us." Xia Xi restored the bronze mirror to its original state and spoke to Xia Yue.

"But I might be a bit restless in my sleep." Xia Yue agreed readily. Honestly, she was scared to sleep alone after seeing an actual ghost.

"That’s okay. I’m not much of a still sleeper myself." Xia Xi shook her head.

They both laughed, cleaned up their things, turned off the lights and went to bed.

Mo Yao could only revert to its original form and snuggle on the sofa with the System Spiritual Cat.

However, the two cats continued to watch TV dramas on Xia Yue’s phone. Mo Yao watched with curiosity initially, but soon lost interest, unable to understand why they found it so captivating.

Mo Yao then closed its eyes and began to cultivate. Although the abilities it could gain were limited, they were better than none.

"It’s so odd. We’re supposed to be at each other’s throats, but now we’re peacefully sharing a bed." Xia Yue lay next to Xia Xi, staring at the ceiling.

"It is indeed strange." Xia Xi nodded in agreement. She seemed to prefer this girl she had body-swapped with over her older sister Xia Qing.

"But it feels pretty good." Xia Yue chuckled.

"I agree." Xia Xi nodded. Her senior sister was more than a decade older and more like a mother than a playmate, unlike the kids her age.

The two of them chatted idly.

Half an hour later, a knock sounded on the door.

"Someone’s knocking on the door," Xia Yue jumped in fright.

"They’re probably here to ask me to exorcise the ghost. Ignore them. They’re the ones who didn’t believe, so let them. There’s no ghost to begin with, it has already fled back.

If they fail to catch it afterwards, they’ll taunt me for not being capable." Xia Xi instantly guessed who was at the door. After all, they had locked the door beforehand to prevent anyone from barging in.

"But this knocking will disturb our sleep too." Xia Yue complained.

"Mo Yao." Xia Xi called out towards the sofa.

The next moment, Xia Yue no longer heard the knocking.

"They left?" Xia Yue asked in surprise.

"I had Mo Yao set up a soundproof barrier. Now we can have a peaceful sleep." Xia Xi smiled.

"Awesome." Xia Yue exclaimed, thrilled. This was perfect for light sleepers like her.

"Sleep now," Xia Xi told her.

"Mmm-hmm," Xia Yue nodded, closing her eyes.

Soon, both of them fell asleep.

The bodyguards at the front door knocked and called out for a few minutes, receiving no response. Feeling awkward, they went back to the lobby.

At this point, besides Xia Linsong, Song Qin, and Xia Qing, there were five bodyguards in the lobby. Xia Linzheng and his wife were also woken up by Xia Linsong.

Xia Linzheng and Li Min looked at their pale-faced brothers, sister, and niece with displeasure.

Anyone would be upset if woken up in the middle of the night, but seeing their pale faces, they understood they were not making this up.

The bodyguard responsible for knocking came back. Before he could say a word, Xia Linsong asked first,

"Why did you come back alone? Where’s Xia Xi? Why didn’t she come?"

"Lord Xia, it seems that Miss Xi fell asleep. I knocked for a long time, but there was no response from inside," the bodyguard answered helplessly.
