Chapter 77: Shuyan, Can’t Bear to Let Me Go?
Although they had hardly crossed paths in her past life and the other party died early, the reputation and shadow left behind by Ninth Master Qi was terrifying. After the man’s death in her past life, she heard more about how he sought revenge for the slightest grievance and how ruthless and decisive he was. Rumor had it that a talented and unknown Celestial Master, who was extraordinarily capable, attempted to use evil methods to harm him, but in the end, he was chopped into mincemeat and fed to this man’s Tibetan mastiff. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan couldn’t choke out a single word. She wanted to cry but had no tears to shed, and obediently drank the black chicken soup.
Qi Zhenbai was very satisfied with the woman’s obedience.
Zhu Bocheng was the first to react. He had been frightened too many times before, and was now more numb. Father Zhu and Yang Xinde, on the other hand, were incredulous at the sight.
Father Zhu stared at his son questioningly, while Yang Xinde became even more scared of provoking this Celestial Master Chi in front of him. When he spoke, his tone was full of flatter, and he knelt with a dejected face. “Master Chi, I was blind before and shouldn’t have questioned your abilities. I really have no other choice now.”
Chi Shuyan’s lips twitched and she quickly waved her hand. “Don’t, don’t kneel. Kneeling is useless. I won’t help you.”
“If he wants to kneel, let him kneel!” The man next to Chi Shuyan suddenly gave Yang Xinde a light, contemptuous glance, and Yang Xinde shuddered in fright.
Chi Shuyan choked and then subconsciously glared at Qi Zhenbai. He didn’t get angry, and instead smiled. His cold, hard face also softened a bit, and while his tone was still firm, it contained some subconscious cajoling. “Fine, I’ll listen to you. I won’t interfere!”
Chi Shuyan automatically ignored the man’s tone which gave her goosebumps, and her head hurt even more. She restrained her emotions and sighed. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you.”
Chi Shuyan lowered her eyes, the shadows from her long, thick eyelashes masking the emotions in her eyes. “It wasn’t easy for those ghosts. They were harmed by her own brother when they were human, and their skeletons are sealed in the luck-borrowing array.”
When Yang Xinde heard Chi Shuyan’s words, he simply wanted to vomit blood. It wasn’t easy for those ghosts, but it was easy for him? He has been so mentally and physically exhausted by this matter in the last few days. If this continued, it would be normal for him to lose ten years of his life.
And why should revenge against that unscrupulous and heartless An Qiyou, who schemed against his sister’s family, implicate him? He was really more wronged than Dou’e[1]. Was it easy to do business?
“Master Chi, it’s not easy for me either! And even if you don’t give me face, you have to give those owners face.” Yang Xinde’s mind worked swiftly. “If we continue to overlook these evil spirits, sooner or later, they’ll harm people. If it wasn’t for your help this time, there would definitely have been a tragedy.”
Father Zhu looked at Yang Xinde’s shameless appearance and how he said such sanctimonious words, and the corner of his mouth twitched. If Ninth Master Qi wasn’t here, Yang Xinde probably would have stepped forward and begged by hugging Master Chi’s thigh.
When Chi Shuyan heard Yang Xinde’s words, she looked up at him and frowned slightly. Although she knew that Yang Xinde was simply using those owners as an excuse, she had to admit that he was right. If they really let this luck-borrowing array go down like this, the consequences would be unthinkable.
It was a pity that she currently didn’t have enough spiritual energy to set up a spirit gathering array, and could only develop elementary-level talismans, not to mention that she sometimes needed to borrow the power of the Millenium Spirit Gathering Tortoise to gather surrounding spiritual energy. The elementary-level talismans would be of better quality then and more effective, but that was it; the spiritual energy still wasn’t enough for her to draw high-level talismans.
Before Yang Xinde left, Chi Shuyan promised to find a solution and sold him a few more Peace Talismans at a high price. Yang Xinde left happily, followed by Father Zhu and Zhu Bocheng. Qi Zhenbai sent Chi Shuyan to a five-star hotel. When they arrived at the door, he was about to turn around and leave, when he paused. He abruptly turned his head and caught Chi Shuyan staring at his back eagerly and fervently. In fact, she was staring at the purple aura around him. As soon as Chi Shuyan met Qi Zhenbai’s gaze, she quickly averted her eyes as if she had been stung.
Qi Zhenbai’s phoenix eyes, as deep and cold as pools, narrowed slightly and his thin lips curved up. He glanced thoughtfully at Chi Shuyan. “Can’t bear to let me go?”
Chi Shuyan’s gaze swept over the man radiating purple in front of her and thought,?I can’t bear to part with your purple aura. She restrained herself, however, and ultimately shook her head and said nothing.
Qi Zhenbai frowned, somewhat displeased with Chi Shuyan’s answer, but his sharp eyes naturally captured the longing in her eyes easily. His face under his tall, thick eyebrows was expressionlessly as he said with a hint of warning, “I’ll give you one last chance to tell the truth.”
Chi Shuyan: “…”?In fact, you just want to come in.?In the end, under Qi Zhenbai’s sharp, intense and unsatisfied gaze, Chi Shuyan nodded. In any case, with a man and a woman alone in the same room, it was Qi Zhenbai who should be worried; it didn’t matter to her.
After Chi Shuyan let Qi Zhenbai in, she no longer bothered with him. She took out her talisman papers and cinnabar pen and sat at the table, while Qi Zhenbai also sat down next to her.
After scrapping a few of the talismans, Chi Shuyan sighed in annoyance. She had used her own blood to draw the talismans the last few times. Did she have to travel all the way back to Fuzhou to carry back the Millenium Spirit Gathering Tortoise?
As Chi Shuyan tapped the cinnabar pen against her chin, she caught a glimpse of a lump of purple aura out of the corner of her eye. With a sudden flash of inspiration, she suddenly raised her round, clear eyes and stared straight at Qi Zhenbai.
Right, how could she forget this man with the purple and gold aura and unspeakable fate?
Chi Shuyan recalled that the few times when she had come into contact with Qi Zhenbai, she seemed to be inexplicably attracted to him. Even the discomfort she felt after her body absorbed too much yin energy disappeared when she touched Qi Zhenbai.
When she had forced a kiss on him, she distinctly felt the fluctuations of abundant spiritual aura. Could it be that the purple aura on Qi Zhenbai could be converted into spiritual aura? The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more restless she became and wanted to verify it. But how could she borrow the purple aura?
“Can I borrow one hand?” Chi Shuyan probed, unsure if her speculation was correct.
“To do what?”
“Draw talismans.”
Qi Zhenbai’s unfathomable phoenix eyes flickered with a dim light, and the corner of his mouth curled into a half-smile as he glanced at Chi Shuyan. Tsk, what a lame excuse!
But when his sharp eyes swept over Chi Shuyan’s face, Qi Zhenbai’s lips curved and he nodded with a seemingly noble and proud air.
Chi Shuyan was about to pull over Qi Zhenbai’s hand with her left one, but didn’t expect the man sitting beside her to suddenly stand up.
Under Chi Shuyan’s astonished gaze, Qi Zhenbai leaned over and wrapped his arms around her lightly from behind in half an embrace. A large bony palm covered the back of Chi Shuyan’s right hand.
Chi Shuyan: …
