Chapter 18: The Nightmare

  The wall clock pointed to one o'clock, Chen Hui lay in bed still wide awake, his two eyes scanned the darkness like a scanner, as if searching for something in the darkness. The yellow talisman on the wall was only visible as a vague shadow in the dark, yet his teeth were still involuntarily chattering with a "kekeke" sound.

  The second hand moved incessantly, its sound connecting into a string of hypnotic symbols, urging him to hurry up and fall asleep.

  Until the minute hand reached fifteen minutes, Chen Hui, who had been extremely awake, suddenly felt drowsy. This strange and sudden drowsiness was so familiar. Chen Hui immediately became vigilant, no mistake, from some time, that strange feeling had been clinging to him like a parasite on bone.

  Chen Hui struggled not to fall asleep, but when the clock pointed to half past one, he still couldn't hold on and fell fast asleep with his head tilted to one side.

  He didn't know how long it had been, but he suddenly felt his consciousness slowly clearing up. Unfortunately, his body couldn't move, and that was the feeling. He felt someone leaning over him, two cold thin lips pressed against his forehead, then moved from his forehead to between his eyebrows. He felt a hint of moisture between the lips, which slid down his cheek to his ear, bringing goosebumps all over his body. The icy fingertips covered his cheeks, and he found himself involuntarily starting to tremble.

  He first heard the other's voice in the stillness of the dark night, and as he swallowed, a cool air drilled into his ear hole. The voice said lightly: "You actually found a Tian Shi to collect me? You say, shouldn't I punish you?"

  。

  。

  "Dear passengers, hello, we still have half an hour before arriving at H City Yuchuan Airport. The local time of arrival is 10 o'clock in the evening, and now it's 9:30 in the evening. The local temperature is 26 degrees. We are about to land soon, so please fasten your seatbelts and sit in your own seats..." The sweet voice of the flight attendant came from the broadcast, and Shī Yuè stretched out her arms to stretch her muscles.

  He heard the girl sitting on Lang Xiang's left hand pointing at Shi Yi An and asking Lang Xiang in a low voice, "What is your relationship with him?"

  "My master." Lang Xian replied unconsciously while flipping through a fashion magazine.

  Looking at the other's surprised and astonished eyes, with a hint of understanding, Shi Yifei was covered in black lines. Please don't do this, it makes us seem like we're into some weird games or something.

  But Shi Yi'an couldn't say what his relationship with Lang Xun was, so he stewed for half a day and finally covered his face with a book, pretending to be an ostrich.

  Liang Yi's ability to accept anything in this era is exceptionally strong, not at all like someone who has been hiding in a stone for thousands of years. He never showed any surprise at the advanced modern technology, of course it's also possible that his surprise was all covered up by his poker face.

  It's possible that nowadays girls are always fantasizing about some melodramatic plot like "The Tyrant CEO Falls in Love with Me", so they pay extra attention to Lang Yu, who looks like a refined and elegant coffin face. Those women were already fluttering around him several times before the plane even took off, probably hoping that Lang Yu would stand up and say to them: "Woman, if you want to get my attention, then you've succeeded."

  But they didn't think that since he's a domineering CEO, how could he possibly sit with them in the 10pm discounted economy class!

  The master's family was naturally not short of money, and at the time of booking tickets, the ghost servant who was responsible for booking tickets asked Lang Yan very politely: "May I ask if you want to book a business class or first class ticket?"

  Lang Yan also asked seriously: "Which one flies faster?"

  So in the end, Shi Yi'an got his hands on two discounted economy class tickets. However, Shi Yi'an didn't think it was a big deal, as he had also booked an economy ticket for himself when he traveled. The flight was only two hours long, and they would arrive soon. Anyway, the Shi family really did have some connections - in just a few days, they managed to get Lang Xun this "black person" an ID card, and smoothly sent him onto the plane.

  But anyway, the girl had been staring at the magazine in her hand since she found out about Lang Xian and Shi Yi'an's relationship, but her mind was no longer on the book. Shi Yi'an knew that countless tofu-like scenes had already formed in her mind and couldn't be stopped.

  Shi Yian suddenly thought that in the past few days, Lang Yue would become a hollow shell after this time, sitting in the courtyard to bask in the moonlight. He shouldn't have changed suddenly today, right? Shi Yian took advantage of the gap under the book to glance at Lang Yue several times and found that he didn't show any signs of growing ears or a tail, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

  The plane landed on time at Yuchuan Airport, and Shi Yi immediately opened his phone as soon as he got off the plane. A large number of text messages flooded in, most of which were useless notification messages and spam messages, except for one message from Shi Yi's group that read "Hurry back".

  Shi Yi An thought it was something big, while dragging her luggage to find things, she also called out to the 1.8-meter-tall "big child" not to get lost, and also had to return a call to Shi Yi Qun.

  The phone rang for seven or eight times before someone picked it up, and on the other end of the receiver was a noisy sound, still able to hear the off-key singing running to grandma's house.

  "Second brother, second brother." Shi Yigun clucked like a mother hen for half a day, hehehe laughed twice and continued, "Why did you call me, are you missing me?"

  Shi Yi An was on the phone with a black line, clearly you sent me a text message asking me to call back quickly, how did it turn into asking what's wrong? Shi Yi An didn't want to bother with the drunkard and was about to hang up when a wolf-like howl came from the other end of the phone: "Second Brother, I love you~"

  Shi Yi angrily hung up the phone and turned around to look for her other checked luggage.

  The phone in his hand rang again, and when he saw the name of Shi Yi's group on it, Shi Yi, who was busy with his four feet facing upwards, answered it impatiently.

  "Hmm, Second Brother, I remember now. I think I had something to ask you." The voice from Shi Yiqun's side was much softer, probably because he had come out of the private room.

  "Speak quickly, I'm busy here." Shi Yian replied impatiently.

  "I previously helped an advertising company in H city with feng shui, and these days, their director had some family issues and wanted to find a master to take a look. I took a glance, but it's just a small business of 18,000 yuan, not worth me running another trip. Then I thought you're back, so I decided to give it to you for practice." Shī Yuè Qún said here, suddenly muttering, "Damn, pee on my shoes."

  Serves you right.

  "Alright, alright. Let's talk about this tomorrow when you're sober. I'm busy, gotta hang up."

  "Okay, I'll send you the address now, love you."

  Shi Yi'an hung up the phone and handed it to Lang Yan, asking him to hold it for a moment. He personally carried the box with incense and paper money onto the cart. The phone rang once, Shi Yi'an guessed it was probably a text message from Shi Yi's group chat, so he asked Lang Yan to take a look.

  "Chen Hui. Longcheng Lishui Community, Building 3, Unit 1, Room 1401, mu mu da." Lang Yan's tone was stiff, reading out every word without missing a single one, then asked with a hint of puzzlement, "Mu mu da, what does it mean?"

  Shi Yi'an was taken aback by Lang Xian's question for a moment, then thought for a second before saying: "This sentence is used to act cute."

  "Selling cuteness?"

  "Don't think about it, it's something you don't have."

  When Shi Yian and Lang Xun arrived home at midnight, his parents warmly welcomed and entertained Lang Xun, even preparing a guest room for him. Although Lang Xun was a big bad wolf at night, he had always appeared in human form when spending time with Shi Yian during the day, so Shi Yian still couldn't help but want to interact with him like friends, despite knowing he was supposed to be his guardian.

  Although Lang Xie was arrogant, he still understood basic human relationships and didn't show excessive discourtesy. After thanking him, he returned to his room to cultivate.

  Shi Yi An tidied up and washed his face, then went to bed. Lying in bed, he thought back and forth, but still decided to go and deal with the small case that Shi Yi's group looked down on. After all, at his age, he couldn't keep taking money from home anymore.

  The next morning, Shi Yian and Lang Xun found the Dragon City Lishui community. The community looked like it was designed for wealthy people, with a grand entrance that resembled a waterfall cave. The security guard stood at attention early in the morning and saluted them as they approached, almost shouting "Good morning, sir!"

  Shi Yi An felt a bit unaccustomed to this, feeling that everything was out of place. Lang Yan, who had once stood in the same position as the security guard, found it very enjoyable and nodded slightly in response.

  The two found the third building, unit one. The doorbell rang several times but no one answered. Just as Shi Yian was about to leave, a weak male voice suddenly came from the intercom: "Who is it?"

  "Hello, I'm Shi Yian. I was introduced by Shi Yiqun. I heard you have some troubles that need to be solved."

  It was introduced by Shi Yiqun's group on the other side, and without saying a word, he opened the door lock.

  The man of 1401, as soon as the door opened, walked out enthusiastically and shook Lang Xian's hand directly, saying: "Master, hello, I'm Chen Hui, you've finally arrived, if you didn't come, I don't know what to do."

  Liang suddenly pulled out his hand and pointed with his thumb at a student standing beside him, dressed in a uniform, saying: "This is the great master."

  Shi Yi'an and Chen Hui exchanged an awkward glance before bursting out laughing.

  "Master, please don't be polite, come in and sit down." The man led Shi Yian and Lang Xun into the house and closed the door. He said to Shi Yian, "Master, I'll get straight to the point, my family has indeed encountered some trouble recently."

  Chen Hui said with a serious tone, and Shi Yi'an didn't dare to be slow, looking at him seriously, waiting for the next sentence. Chen Hui unconsciously looked around and whispered: "I seem to have been haunted by a female ghost recently."
