CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 89: THE GHOST CHILD RETURNS

"Damn it, luckily I didn’t learn the Body-Freezing Curse, and had no time to read the ’Five Curse Techniques,’ otherwise I wouldn’t have had the Light of Fortune to improve my medical skills."

"Nerve damage, difficult to recover, Blood Qi seems insufficient, but Daoist True Qi can strengthen the meridians, it should be repairable, I’ll ask Qingyan then."

"Two worlds, this time Qingyan can’t help with acupuncture, I’ll have to rely on myself."

"Damn it, there’s another problem, how do I convince Lin Wan to let me perform acupuncture!"

"Sweet talk, even if Lin Wan doesn’t oppose it, how do I convince her mom?"

"Ah—so annoying, what should I do, who can give me some advice?"

Lu Zheng complained while searching a chain real estate agency, quickly found a place, paid the rent, hired domestic help, and bought a bunch of daily necessities, ready to move in.

The house was located in a mid-range community downtown, convenient transportation, elegant environment.

After Lu Zheng settled everything, it was completely dark.

"It’s dark now!"

Walking out of the community, Lu Zheng muttered to himself, "The moon is dark, the wind is high, ghosts are roaming!"

"Lin Wan’s injury is urgent, but she still needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days."

"But Liu Yifan’s situation is more pressing, if I let him live well, I’ll be the most useless wretch in all the worlds."

"Take it slow, Lin Wan’s recovery still needs some time, we’ll take it slow."

"Starting tomorrow, if you die happily, it would mean I’m incompetent!"

He had tried before, as long as he could hold it, living things could cross as well.

In that case...

He went home, crossed over, took the brass bell from the drawer, and crossed back.

"Ding-a-ling—"

Lu Zheng shook the bell, and a gust of chilling wind swept through the house.

A ghost child, looking five or six years old, suddenly appeared in the middle of the room.

Their pupils were entirely white, face expressionless.

"Ding-a-ling—"

The ghost child abruptly disappeared again.

...

The next day, Lu Zheng went to the hospital first, handing the room key to Lin’s Mother, then spent half the day with Lin Wan.

During this time, Lin Wan did not refuse Lu Zheng’s kindness, nor did she mention returning home, clearly having made a decision.

After lunch, Lu Zheng took his leave and quickly arrived at Longxia Group.

Longxia Group was located at the East Beach of Hai City, a place filled with high-end business buildings, and this group occupied the fiftieth to fifty-third floors of a business building.

"Damn, they’re loaded!"

Lu Zheng didn’t go in, but found an outdoor café nearby.

Ordered a cup of coffee, casually flipping through the ’Mastering Acupuncture,’ while occasionally glancing at the building across.

Lu Zheng studied diligently, his distinguished demeanor attracted a group of women, and by afternoon, three women were trying to strike up a conversation with him.

However, he politely sent them away.

At four in the afternoon, Lu Zheng’s gaze sharpened because Liu Yifan appeared.

Holding a Starbucks cup, he embraced a woman who walked up to him.

Changed partners, not the same one as before.

Casually tossed the paper cup into the roadside trash bin, Liu Yifan got into a Porsche parked by the road with the woman, started it up, and left.

Lu Zheng closed the book, stood tall.

Lu Zheng took out a folded Qi-Seeking Talisman from his pocket, held it in his palm, and leisurely crossed the street while forming the Seal Technique with his hand.

When he arrived at the garbage can at the entrance of Longxia Group’s business building, he just completed the spell to capture the aura attached to the Starbucks paper cup.

Without stopping, Lu Zheng walked past the entrance, past the next street corner, then hailed a cab and left.

...

Liu Yifan was previously unhappy, now very cheerful, although he was being watched by the police due to that female officer, he didn’t care at all.

No reason, no evidence!

"You made me unhappy for a while, I’ll make you unhappy for a lifetime, very fair, right? Who told us our status gap is so big?"

"Too bad, can’t deal with that culprit for a while, but it’s fine, managed to cripple a beautiful woman for life, can’t ask for too much more, ahahaha."

"Would love to go comfort her in person, wonder if seeing me would make her so excited she’d stand right up?"

Liu Yifan again took the woman to the Italian Restaurant KASAMUVA, savoring black truffle and A5 steak, glancing meaningfully at the spot where Lin Wan was that day.

He didn’t notice the tall figure standing in the shadows across the street from the restaurant.

...

At seven in the evening, Liu Yifan left the restaurant with the woman and went to a bar.

Partying till late, finally arriving at Waldorf Hotel by eleven.

Booked a room, drunkenly embraced the woman upstairs, couldn’t resist starting to get frisky in the elevator.

Out of the elevator, swiped the card to open the door, closed it.

Liu Yifan, panting heavily, was about to strip the woman’s clothes.

"I need to shower~"

The woman teasingly grabbed him, then giggling, escaped his grasp.

The woman walked and stripped, by the time she reached the bathroom door, she was completely naked.

Turned back, winked at Liu Yifan, beckoning with her finger, "Don’t secretly peek at me~"

"Little flirt, quite seductive!"

Liu Yifan chuckled, also started undressing.

Halfway through, he felt a cold wind blow past, shivered unconsciously.

"Damn, air conditioning is so strong!"

Liu Yifan cursed, didn’t mind, continued stripping, ready to enter the bathroom.

However...

As he took a step and looked up, he suddenly saw a person standing between him and the bathroom!

A child around five or six, wearing a blood-red vest, gold-red beanie, floating half a foot off the ground.

Liu Yifan instantly froze, his heart skipped a beat.

Pale face, cyan lips, completely white eyeless pupils, emotionless, just calmly facing him.

"Ah!!!!"

A scream echoed through the room.

"Bang!"

The bathroom door swung open, the woman rushed out in panic, "Yifan?"

By this time Liu Yifan had fallen back to the ground.

Hearing the woman’s call, he looked up, found the child gone.

"Hmm, disappeared?"

Liu Yifan breathed heavily.

"Yifan, what’s wrong?" The woman didn’t care about her nudity, rushed to his side, helped him up.

"I damn...I damn...seemed to have hallucinated just now..."

"Hallucination? Superhero?"

"Superhero my ass, damn, something’s still wrong, this room is not clean." Liu Yifan shook his head, "Let’s get a different room!"

Just as he finished speaking, as he was being helped up, Liu Yifan raised his head again and saw the silhouette at the bathroom door again.

"Ah!!!!"
