[Little Scene]
Dong Li woke with a start in the middle of the night.
Gu Junyi comforted him. “Don’t be scared.”
Dong Li said, “With you here, I’m not scared.”
Gu Junyi: Secretly delighted!
Dong Li added, “I’m afraid I’ll oversleep. I could sleep for decades, and you’d be dead by the time I woke up.”

Now middle-aged, Gu Junyi began worrying about the future. “Humans don’t live as long as demons. What if I die before you?”
Dong Li said, “Plant me on your grave?” The more he thought about it, the more suitable it seemed. After all, Dong Li was a chrysanthemum demon.

At last, it was time to meet the family!
Gu Junyi reassured him. “My grandfather is a nice man. He’ll like you.”
Dong Li said confidently, “Cultured people all love chrysanthemums. I’ll do my best to make a good impression.”
At their first meeting, Dong Li looked at Old Master Gu. “Are you the old servant who takes care of me?”
Old Master Gu: ???
[My chrysanthemum has developed bumps. How do I treat them?]
[You can use ingredients you already have at home to prevent and treat them, such as soapy water, salt water, or white vinegar diluted with water…]
Gu Junyi obediently followed the advice. After that, things at home started getting strange. It seemed like someone had broken in, but the security footage showed nothing unusual.
Gu Junyi had a nightmare: A monster crawled into his house just to slap him? It was only a dream, nothing to worry about.
That is, until Gu Junyi spotted a handprint on his face and found several long green hairs scattered beneath the sofa.
The monster’s hair?
Perfect!
If modern medicine couldn’t cure Grandpa’s illness, then what about something unscientific?
Dong Li was a chrysanthemum, and different humans had taken good care of him. But lately, his body had been drying out, aching, and going limp. At last, he couldn’t help breaking free from his dreams.
This was going to cost him his life!
His current servant was so careless that he’d let Dong Li get infested with bugs. No matter, though. These puny bugs were nothing. Dong Li could get rid of them in three to five days.
But what was this servant doing?
First he used salt water to make Dong Li thirsty, then he used white vinegar to make his limbs go limp. Dong Li had only slapped him once, yet the man was trying to take his life with insecticide.
