Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Crisis Begins

  "Yunxue... Yunxue......" Yunxue, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly heard a woman calling out her name, but she was too sleepy to care. She wanted to roll over and continue sleeping, but suddenly found that her body couldn't move. Her hands and feet seemed to be fixed by something, and except for her eyeballs, which could still move freely, no part of her body would listen to her commands. There was a huge boulder-like pressure on her chest... it felt very uncomfortable...

  "Yunxue..." The woman's voice suddenly became sharp, as if she had lost her patience, and pressed her head straight against Yunxue's forehead, her long hair falling onto Yunxue's neck, Yunxue's breathing seemed to have stopped at this moment.

  "Take a look at me, just one glance... I'll definitely make you die.. I'll definitely scare you to death.. Do you believe it?? Open your eyes and take a look~~~" Yunxue's nerves were stretched to the limit, she tightly closed her eyes because she knew clearly that this female ghost was not joking. If she opened her eyes, the consequences would be unthinkable. However, the female ghost's incessant shouting had almost driven her to mental collapse. She didn't know how much longer this terrifying experience would last, and she anxiously waited, having thought about calling out for help but discovering that she couldn't even manage to open her mouth, so she gave up on that idea.

  The female ghost saw Yunxue and refused to open her eyes, so she used her dry twig-like hand to grab Yunxue's wrist. A numb and cool feeling appeared on Yunxue's wrist, and suddenly the ghost's hand began to stroke up and down, causing Yunxue's heart to jump into his throat.

  "What good skin you have, so smooth~~~ Cloud Snow, give it to me... give it to me~~" The female ghost said as she stroked Cloud Snow's arm, but the speed of her up and down movements became faster and faster, until it became like scrubbing a bath. Cloud Snow only felt a numbness and burning pain spreading from his arm.

  "Give it to me... Give it to me... Give it to me... Hahahaha..." The female ghost's final laughter made Yunxue unable to bear this fearful torment any longer.

  "Ahh~~~ Help!~~~~" Suddenly a surge of blood rushed to her head, Yunxue opened her mouth and shouted out loud. Along with the shouting voice, the female ghost retreated back into the necklace like smoke. Everything returned to calmness.

  Yunxue's body could move again, and the oppressive feeling disappeared along with the female ghost's voice. However, she still didn't dare to open her eyes until Yang Mama and Yang Shu came in response to the sound and turned on the light in Yunxue's bedroom.

  "Child... child... what's wrong with you?? What happened?" Yang's mother asked anxiously, holding Yunxue's face. Yang Shu looked at Yunxue's pale face nervously on the side, and his heart was also filled with doubts...

  "Auntie~~~~ Waaahhh~" Yunxue saw the lights in the house were already on and heard Yang Mama's voice, knowing that danger had passed, she suddenly threw herself into Yang Mama's arms and burst into tears... At this moment, a dark shadow flashed outside the window and disappeared.

  "Who???" The tiger head suddenly became alert and jumped out of the window in an instant. But didn't notice anything at all, could it be that the black shadow was just an illusion??? The tiger head scratched its head, jumped back, squatted beside the bed, staring at this tearful beauty in front of him.

  Yun Xue recounted the events from start to finish, but Yang's mother thought it was just a nightmare. Yang Shu walked around the house several times and didn't find any signs of paranormal activity, while Hu Tou was completely baffled, but only he believed that something had indeed happened... because of the black shadow outside the window...

  "Alright, alright, good child, it was just a nightmare.... See, nothing's wrong now, is it?" Yang Mama patted Yunxue's back gently and comforted her repeatedly.

  "Or would you like your aunt to stay and sleep with you?"

  "It's okay... Auntie... Sorry about that... I'm sorry to disturb you so late..."

  "Hehe... never mind, never mind... alright, you rest now ~~ we're leaving" Yang's mom and Yang's uncle left the room and closed the door.

  "Did you see her face clearly?" Tiger Head spoke up.

  "No... nothing... she... she told me to look... at her... and still want... want to scare me to death..."

  "...Hutou didn't understand what Yunxue was saying at all, it seemed like she had been scared out of her wits and wasn't making any sense."

  "Don't worry, I'm here... you can sleep peacefully... I'll keep watch for you..." After hearing Tiger Head's reassurance, Cloud Snow nodded and lay down flat on her back. Tiger Head, however, remained perched on the bed, intently scanning the surroundings of the room, fearful that something else might happen. This night, everyone was restless and uneasy, although the female ghost did not reappear, Cloud Snow couldn't sleep no matter what, she began to fear sleep, fear the darkness. The lamp remained lit, Cloud Snow lay motionless... Tiger Head stayed vigilant all night... Gradually, dawn broke...

  "Oh? You said you saw a woman in black robes with no vitality... and she knew about your affairs?"

  "Uh... Master, that's why I came to ask, because things are suspicious, who else might know our secrets besides us?" Yang Hao was currently discussing the events of the previous night with his master.

  "What is this woman's purpose in finding you?"

  "This is unclear, but when she was about to leave, she said that the friends around me would be in danger, and also said that they are not our enemies."

  "Oh? This is strange indeed... Let me call the bureau to ask, see if there's been a leak." Just as Uncle Yang was about to dial the number, a voice that sounded familiar to Yang Hao rang out.

  "No need to look for me, I'm here~~~ Yiyang, it's been a long time since we last met~~~~" Yang Hao and Yiyang Shu looked in the direction of the voice, and a woman wearing a black robe, incredibly beautiful, was standing there.

  The woman named Kayla Velura is actually a descendant of the British bloodline. She has the royal bloodline of the Blood Clan and a direct blood relationship with Dracula. Thousands of years ago, the Blood Clan launched a massive invasion of China, but was defeated by the combined efforts of the Taoist and Buddhist masters of the time, resulting in heavy losses on both sides. In the end, under the premise of greatly depleted strength on both sides, an oath was signed between the Blood Clan's respected Dracula and the Taoist immortal Li Er Lao Zi, also known as the Supreme Old Lord, vowing that neither side would invade each other again and coexist peacefully. Although it has been thousands of years since then, Dracula still adheres to this oath. His power has spread to every corner of the world, even reaching Korea and Japan, but he has never invaded China again. After Li Er Lao Zi ascended to immortality, his Taoist successors also dared not break this oath, not interfering with the Blood Clan's power outside of China. Over time, the oath did not lose its effectiveness but instead made progress. On the surface, the Blood Clan and the Taoists appear unrelated, like water and fire, but in reality, they are interdependent and mutually utilitarian. The thousand-year struggle between the Blood Clan and the werewolves, as well as the life-and-death battles between the Taoists and evil spirits, have all relied on each other's power to survive. From this perspective, it can be said that their relationship has made a leap forward.

  "Master, it's her~~~" Yang Hao said, giving Uncle Yi a very affirmative look.

  "Princess Caiyi, it's you... What brings you to the Central Plains this time?" Yiyang Shu greeted her as if he had run into an old acquaintance.

  "Can't you come see me for no reason at all?" Kelly revealed a ambiguous gaze and slowly walked over.

  "Cough... cough... I've been feeling a bit unwell lately. If it's just a private visit, I think I'll have to pass." Yiyang Shu tried his best to avoid Kerry's gaze.

  "Master, she is obviously a yellow-skinned person with black hair and eyes, why does she have a foreign name?" Yang Hao whispered into Uncle Yang's ear.

  "She has the blood of Dracula and Taoist families flowing through her veins. Her mother is a genuine Chinese, so what's strange about having black eyes and black hair?"

  "Oh... she's a Eurasian beauty, Master, and it seems like she has a crush on you..."

  "Go... don't talk nonsense..." Yi Yang Shu hastily stopped Yang Hao's inquiry.

  "Yiyang, you're not feeling well, it's because of the two worm babies left in your body by Tōjō Kiri's underlings, right?" As he spoke, Caiyi had already walked to Yiyang Shu's front, looking at him with a deep expression.

  "It's nothing... I can handle it..."

  "Can you afford it? If you can afford it, why keep it in your body? Are you planning to raise it?"

  "……" Yi Yang Shu didn't say anything, because he really had no way of getting those two damned worms out.

  "I'm telling you the truth, those two worms aren't called Jilingzi, their real name is 'Hunhunshi', which was extracted from the corpses of Dongtiao Yingji and Yu Ren after they died. If you can't get it out, then Dongtiao Yingji and Yu Ren will use your profound cultivation to resurrect again, and in the end, you'll become a cocoon, being consumed to death"

  "Master..." Yang Hao heard what Kairui said and broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that what Kairui said was true, someone close to him was indeed in danger... But, was the only one in danger really just his master?
