When Chi Shuyan jumped down again, she didn’t go up to the roof as usual this time, but snapped at the others, “Everyone, back away!”
She took out the Yin Ghost Gonfalon and swept away the two ghosts that came out of the luck-borrowing array. Father Zhu and the others were really frightened this time, their faces pale as they took a big step back.
“What are you doing?” a ghostly shadow questioned menacingly.
“I mean no harm; I just want to help you get out of the luck-borrowing array that’s underground,” Chi Shuyan said.
“Hehe, no need!” a female voice filled with hatred said icily.
“I know that you’re eager for revenge, but your brother’s retribution has already begun. You adding another blow now will only affect your luck and reincarnation for nothing.” Chi Shuyan frowned slightly.
“It’s impossible to let him go! The reason we’re like this now is all thanks to him; he’s also enjoyed so many years of riches and honor. I must pull out his black heart with my own hands! As for his whole family, I’ll kill them all and leave none alive!” one of the ghostly shadows said viciously.
Chi Shuyan sighed; she felt like they were in the same boat. She didn’t want to fight either, but there was nothing she could do about the outcome now. She negotiated, “If you get involved in murder, you won’t be able to be reborn. How about I set up a fortune transfer array? You’ll definitely be rich people in your next life. You’ll be able to enjoy the good fortune that you didn’t have in this life in the next life. How about that?”
“Haha, we don’t believe you! You’re simply trying to trick us into being reincarnated! In your dreams!” One ghost shadow rushed up to attack first, followed by the other.
Seeing the two ghosts rush up, Chi Shuyan frowned and her eyes glowed coldly. “Stubborn!” She took out two Fiend Suppression Talismans, clamped between her fingertips. With a flick of her fingers, the two talismans flew accurately toward the two ghosts.
The two ghosts couldn’t avoid touching the Fiend Suppression Talismans. The places where they were touched blazed and gave off wisps of white smoke. The two ghosts wailed and howled at being burned, making the eerie atmosphere even gloomier and wretched.
“It’s not too late for you to change your minds.” Chi Shuyan was indifferent. She stretched out her palm and recalled the Fiend Suppression Talismans. This kind of high-level Fiend Suppression Talisman was extremely domineering and powerful, capable of dispersing evil spirits and ghosts, so Chi Shuyan was prudent with its use.
The two ghosts had suffered enough. Although they were indignant, the Celestial Master in front of them was tough as nails. The little ghost with the doll flew over between the two ghosts, and after they whispered for a while, a lot of the evil tendencies of the two ghosts dissipated.
“Can the array you mentioned just now really protect our fortune in our next life?” a ghostly shadow asked.
Chi Shuyan sighed inwardly when she heard this. Her cultivation hadn’t recovered yet, so it was extremely taxing on her spiritual power to cast this kind of array, but she had no other choice now. “Of course!”
Just as Chi Shuyan was about to set up the array, she caught a glimpse of Qi Zhenbai, who was standing straight on the side, out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes flashed and an alarm went off in her heart. Qi Zhenbai’s great tonic physique was something she had no resistance to in the first place. If she exhausted all her spiritual power and repeated the embarrassing kiss she forced on him last time, then she really wouldn’t be able to explain herself in the future.
Chi Shuyan’s face changed slightly, and she forced herself to calm down as she smiled at Qi Zhenbai. “Young Master Qi, I seem to have forgotten an important array magic weapon in the hotel. Can you help me get it?” Her little heart wouldn’t be able to take what happened last time.
As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Yang Xinde stumbled and almost fell. His eyes widened in fright and he waved his hands in horror. “Iti isn’t necessary for Young Master Qi to do this sort of errand. I’ll go, I’ll go!” He even forgot about his assistant beside him.
Father Zhu also hurriedly echoed the sentiment. He didn’t turn pale with fright like Yang Xinde, but he still wasn’t much better. “That’s right, Master Chi, have Bocheng go!”
Zhu Bocheng wasn’t as horrified as the two, but he said without thinking, “Sister Shuyan, I’ll go.”
“…Wait…” Chi Shuyan wanted to cry without tears. She gritted her teeth and stared intently at the man who stood out from the crowd not far away, for once hoping that this man would be soft toward her.
“What else hasn’t Sister Shuyan explained?” Zhu Bocheng was puzzled. Even Qi Zhenbai on the side seemed to be looking deeply at Chi Shuyan with his sharp black phoenix eyes, making her feel immense pressure.
She took a deep breath and approached the expressionless Qi Zhenbai with a fawning smile. “Young Master Qi, that magic weapon is precious. I would be more at ease if it was you.”
Chi Shuyan’s excuse was lame, but Qi Zhenbai was swayed by Chi Shuyan’s smile. Suspicion flashed through his phoenix eyes. Listening to her delicate voice, he secretly clicked his tongue. She really knew how to act cute! Women were troublesome. However, he was still very satisfied with Chi Shuyan’s trust in him, so he nodded. “That does make some sense.”
Father Zhu and Yang Xinde were flabbergasted. Not only wasn’t Young Master Qi angry, he actually agreed. At once, the two looked at Chi Shuyan in awe. Qi Zhenbai’s gaze swept over them indifferently, and the two of them started. They were slightly terrified in their hearts and promptly feigned ignorance and indifference.
Chi Shuyan let out a sigh of relief when she saw Qi Zhenbai leave after giving a few instructions. She swiftly set up the array, then gave Father Zhu and the others the excuse that she had remembered wrongly about the magic weapon.
Zhu Bocheng was going to send Chi Shuyan back after that, but she didn’t dare go back to the same hotel, and used the excuse that she was too tired and would rest in a hotel nearby. She wasn’t lying; setting up such an array had indeed sapped her of spiritual energy and physical strength. She closed her eyes and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. She turned on the soft and dim bedside lamp and very quickly fell asleep.
Chi Shuyan was very tired. In her daze, she kept feeling a creepy, sharp and cold gaze on her. She opened her eyes and saw a tall figure standing next to the bed, the shadow it cast covering her, and she was slightly alarmed.
But she immediately recognized the person, and wished she hadn’t! Chi Shuyan’s pupils shrank and her face paled slightly. She moved to the side reflexively. “Qi…”
She had just moved an inch, when her arm was yanked forward by a strong force. The tall man placed one knee on the bed. His movements were agile and his large palms, which were as hard as steel, clamped down on Chi Shuyan’s slender shoulders. His voice was as cold as ice dregs as he gnashed out the words one by one: “You lied to me?”
Qi Zhenbai was very cool-headed, but when he saw that Chi Shuyan wanted to escape, he subconsciously lunged after her like a beast chasing its prey.
Chi Shuyan wanted to cry without tears. Even if you want to settle scores, why now? Her head throbbed. She could already feel her tranquil mood being thrown into chaos. Looking at the purple aura in front of her, the extraordinarily tasty tonic pill burst forth with a fiery light, muddling her mind.
“Let go of me first!” While her mouth said that, her hands wrapped around Qi Zhenbai’s neck as if they had a mind of their own and put paid to her words.
Qi Zhenbai looked down at the woman in his arms, who still looked like she was rejecting him, and his expression cleared. He now understood a little of what his cousin and Zhu Bocheng used to say: “If a woman says she doesn’t want something, she wants it. If she says she wants it, she doesn’t want it.” He curled his thin lip and spat out, “Do you like me that much?” After saying that, he suddenly bent down and ruthlessly kissed Chi Shuyan’s lips without letting her explain.
