Chapter Forty-Eight: Following Closely Behind

  Holding Zhang Ting for a whole night, when I woke up it was already noon. She kicked me while she slept, but I still held her tightly. "Tingting, I'll accompany you shopping later." Today, Zhang Ting didn't have classes either. I kissed her and she dodged away... "Ah, bad breath!"

  Do I have bad breath?

  I went to find Shiteng next door, he got up very early, "Shiteng, are you going shopping with us later?"

  "Not going, oh, Uncle Subei, you and Auntie go ahead, I'll go find Ruòqín..." Looks like this guy is really serious about Ruòqín... Let him try his luck then. Feeling a bit empty without Zéhóng around...

  I accompanied Zhang Ting to the street, it's been a long time since I last took her out for a stroll. Looking at her energetic and lively appearance, my left hand still hurts a bit, but it's okay as long as I don't touch anything.

  After strolling around for an entire afternoon, this girl was also tired. When I and she returned to the room it was already about 5 o'clock. "Zi Chuan come give me a foot massage!"

  "Ah, still this virtue, okay, I'll pinch. Zhang Ting sat on the bed and I helped her pinch her feet, she also secretly kissed me once."

  "Ahh!" I cried out and helped hold her down.

  "Get lost, pervert!"

  "How dare you call me a pervert! I'll show you what's perverted!" I pressed Zhang Ting's hands to the side, gazing at her quietly.

  "...child..." Seeing Zhang Ting's shy muttering, I didn't wait for her to say it out loud and kissed her, covering her mouth. I slowly moved my hands down, unbuttoning her coat...I felt my own hands trembling violently, unable to undo it for a long time, what to do? At such an important moment, I wouldn't still have to get up and look at the clothes to undo them, would I?

  Zhang Ting's hand was placed on mine... I saw her close her eyes and unbutton her clothes herself, I threw the clothes aside and slowly kissed her neck... I stopped! I felt that my current feeling is a bit off, why did I kiss Zhang Ting's neck but want to bite down!

  I feel like my whole body is burning hot, and my heart has started to ache again. Has the poison relapsed?! Zilong didn't say it was gone! I'm sitting here in a panic... "Tingting, will we be okay on our wedding night?" Just now, I actually had an urge to bite Zhang Ting!

  "Uh-huh. Zikawa, I love you. I believe that in the future, you will also marry me." Zhang Ting hugged me... I also knew that my world couldn't accommodate anyone else except her.

  "Really, Tingting. If I couldn't marry you, I would become a monk!" Zhang Ting was amused by me..."I don't want you to be a monk! What would I do if you became a monk?" I held Zhang Ting tightly and lay on the bed quietly looking at her..."Zi Chuan...in the future our children must look like me."

  "Huh? Why can't you be like me?"

  "Because being like you is too ugly! Being like me is good-looking!"

  "I'm leaving, and you still think I'm ugly!"

  "Is it dawn?" I woke up to see that it was still dark, usually when I wake up it's already the next day. My chest felt stuffy and I didn't know why I woke up. I wanted to get up and drink some water, but no matter what I couldn't get up! What's going on?! I looked at Zhang Ting beside me, her breathing was a bit tight as if she couldn't catch her breath!

  "Ghost pressing down on the bed? "All of you! Divine power, three realms, ten thousand ghosts appear! Those who are about to fight, all line up in front!" Indeed, there are ghosts causing trouble! I see two ghosts pressing down on me and Zhang Ting's body! The one pressing down on Zhang Ting is a male ghost! "Damn it, get out of here! With the power of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, three births, five elements, shape the golden sword, slay the evil spirits!" If only the fearless ghost would press down on me, but instead it's pressing down on Zhang Ting!

  A golden sword directly pierced the ghost that was pressing on Zhang Ting's body, pinning it to the wall and making it disappear into thin air. The one pressing on my body wanted to run, but I didn't give it a chance! Another golden sword chopped over, and I deliberately chopped beside it, causing it to shrink into the corner of the wall, staring at me. "All ghosts, connect with the three realms, and all spirits will be linked!"

  "Why are you trying to harm us!" The incantation can communicate with ghosts and gods, Master told me that when it's powerful enough, it can even control them!

  "We are just wild ghosts. Just now someone called us to come and press you, otherwise he would take us away..." Looking at the ghost's pitiful appearance, "That person is gone!"

  "It's gone..."

  "Leave now, or I'll make you disappear too!" I let it go, after all, can't blame it, someone called them, the vengeful spirits have acted! But it's impossible to just release two wild ghosts!

  Forget it, tomorrow let Zhang Ting return to the dormitory, I don't want to drag her down. I returned to the bedside and saw that Zhang Ting's complexion had improved a lot, she was sleeping soundly. I kissed her lightly as she lay beside me, but didn't fall asleep myself, fearing another wild ghost would come. It wasn't until dawn that Zhang Ting woke up and saw me staring at her...

  "Zi Jiang, you're up so early... " Looking at Zhang Ting who was still half asleep.

  "Ting Ting, you have class today, I'll send you to school later, I might have another task..." I didn't dare face her.

  "Don't let you go! Your hands are already like this!" Zhang Ting hugged me, I didn't want to go either, but the people from the Yin Soul Sect had already found us.

  "Alright, Tingting, just one more time... I'll never go again after this." I said to persuade her, as I sent Zhang Ting to the classroom. "Zi Chuan... don't get hurt," she said with a bit of sadness, and I forced out a smile, "I won't, Tingting."

  I left and went to find Shitian first, but he wasn't in the hotel. He didn't come back last night? I sat in the room, and he doesn't have a phone either. It seems like we need to get one for him. Zehong is still at Maoshan.

  I sat for a long time, watching TV and finally heard some noise from beside me, it should be Shengteng coming back. I ran out. "Zi Chuan big brother..." Shengteng smiled at me, I saw that he didn't look too good. "What's wrong? You don't look so well."

  Shi Tian was still yawning! "Zi Chuan big brother, I'm telling you, last night I accompanied Ruo Qin to take a midnight stroll and just got back, I'm dead tired."......"You and Ruo Qin are together?" This guy is already accompanying Ruo Qin on a midnight stroll? Can't tell at all.

  "Not yet, I don't know how to bring it up, but I feel happy when we're together." He looked like that and didn't mention what happened last night, letting him sleep for a while instead.

  Shi Teng woke up when it was almost 5 o'clock, and he came to my room to watch TV with me. "Shi Teng... the people from Yin Hun Pai seem to have arrived." I opened my mouth, and Shi Teng, who still had sleepy eyes, immediately became alert. "Have they? Where are they?"

  "I don't know either. Last night I was haunted by ghosts, and those two ghosts told me they were sent by someone else." Now I'm still confused about who the undead yin soul sent.

  "I'm here, I'll chop them! My senior brother kept telling me to protect you before he left." Am I that weak, still needing to be reminded and warned repeatedly? But it's still touching, wonder how Zehong is doing now.

  "Alright, Shitian, your brother Zichuan is not that weak either."

  "Uh-huh, that's right, like last time Yang Tie and Zi Chuan big brother alone..." I saw Shi Teng wanting to speak but stopping himself, as if hiding something from me.

  "What's with him?"

  "No, one person saved my senior brother." Is it just because of this?

  "Let's be careful tonight, I think they'll come again." I'm not sure about the methods of the Yin Soul Sect, but I feel that since they didn't succeed last night, they should come again tonight. But why did they release two wild ghosts last night?

  I and Shì Téng were just sitting in the room quietly waiting... Suddenly, a gust of wind came from somewhere, causing the window to creak loudly. I walked over to the window to close it, but as soon as my hand reached out, I felt something! Whose hand was this?! My hand withdrew, and when I looked again, there was nothing, but what I had just touched was definitely a person's hand!

  "Shi Teng... be careful. It seems not right." I reminded Shi Teng, because I wasn't too tired to see flowers, I stared at the window, nothing appeared, I lived on the 6th floor, and this hotel had 9 floors, I stretched my head out and looked down, there was nothing, but my head was dripped with water from above, I subconsciously looked up.

  It's better not to look, but what I saw was a person floating above my head, looking down at me! What kind of person is this?! Suddenly seeing this scene scared me, and I quickly pulled my head back, closed the window, and retreated to the bed. The curtains hadn't been drawn yet, just as I was about to draw them, countless ghosts floated by outside the window... what's going on?!

  Are you going out with a group of ghosts tonight?

  I think I smell something, it smells a bit sweet... what is it?

  "Zihe Dage, retreat a bit, they're just some wild ghosts, it's nothing. I'll take care of them with one knife each." Shengteng took out his life-taking knife and held it in his hand. I wasn't afraid, but I was startled. Although I had seen many ghosts and even zombies before, being suddenly scared still made me fearful.

  That group of ghosts floated in through the window, all sorts of them, some with their tongues hanging out, others with their bellies ripped open, each one charging towards us. "A bunch of lonely and wild ghosts, you dare to offend me." Shì Téng wielded his knife and went over, striking down with a single slash, but it was strange! Those were just some wild ghosts, by rights Shì Téng should have been able to take them out one by one, yet the ghostly spirits that had been chopped down all came charging over as if nothing had happened.

  "In the midst of it, metal, wood, water, fire and earth, three births and five elements, shape the golden sword, slay the evil! All the soldiers are lined up in front! How strange! Not even my Golden Sword Technique was used! I saw that group of ghosts rushing towards us to strangle our necks, but there wasn't a hint of pain."

  "Zihe Dage! I understand, quickly bite the tip of your tongue!" Why do you need to bite the tip of your tongue? The blood from the tip of the tongue is the purest Yang energy in the human body and has a restraining effect on evil spirits. Moreover, the pain from biting the tip of the tongue can make a person instantly sober. Although I don't know why I have to do this, I still listened to Shitian's words.

  A piercing pain almost brought tears to my eyes, I opened them to see what ghost was there? There were no ghosts at all? Instead, the smell I had detected earlier grew stronger and stronger. Shengteng told me to cover my nose and slowly walked in the direction of the smell, which was coming from under the door.

  Shi Teng suddenly opened the door! There was no one outside the door, but there was an incense burner! The smell came from the incense burner!

  "Zihe Dage is a man of great virtue."
