Chapter 143: Doctor, Have You Been Invaded by Ghosts?
“Dr. Bai, it’s time to eat! Let’s go out for a meal. I’ve also prepared gourmet food for your Pet Beasts! All three of you can eat your fill.”
Song Tiantian tentatively called out. She was already quite tired and felt that Dr. Bai wouldn’t come out.
Dr. Bai intentionally avoided her and hadn’t explained anything about the Ghost to her from beginning to end.
Never mind, she could still go find Leng Qing for more information about the Ghost.
Just as Song Tiantian finished calling out, she was about to leave.
But at that moment, the door opened.
Song Tiantian saw Dr. Bai’s face. Dr. Bai’s complexion was extremely pale, almost as weak as when Song Tiantian saw him nailed with nails, visibly frail.
Dr. Bai was wearing cotton pajamas. Song Tiantian used to wear the same kind of cotton pajamas because they were comfortable, but later, when she had money, she switched to silk because she preferred a cool, smooth feeling.
“Where’s the food!”
【Where’s the food!】
【I’m hungry!】
Bai Lian and Black Crow also looked at Song Tiantian in unison. Although Bai Lian didn’t have eyes, at that moment, Song Tiantian felt Bai Lian’s longing.
“Doctor, have you been invaded by a Ghost?”
As soon as Song Tiantian spoke, she realized she had slipped up. Dr. Bai’s eyes instantly changed from innocent for a moment. Although he quickly recovered, the pressure from a Nine-star Beast Tamer, even a mere trace, was enough to make Song Tiantian feel uncomfortable.
“Tiantian, how could Master be invaded by a Ghost? A mere Ghost is no match for Master at all!”
【If Master wasn’t ambushed by a Ghost, he wouldn’t be injured!】
Bai Lian’s voice was full of spirit. If Song Tiantian hadn’t heard its Inner Voice, she would have truly believed it.
“Doctor, please have some juice! I prepared it carefully for you, and I’ve also prepared things for Bai Lian and Black Crow.”
Song Tiantian took out the food she had prepared earlier and stored in her Pet Beast Space, handing it to Dr. Bai.
Dr. Bai took it and drank it down greedily, even snatching some Dried Meat from Black Crow. He drank the juice while chewing the Dried Meat.
Black Crow opened its eyes and glared pitifully at Song Tiantian. Song Tiantian gave it two more pieces of Dried Meat.
Dr. Bai also widened his eyes, attempting to act cute to get more food.
He didn’t look cute at all in that state, but Song Tiantian still gave Dr. Bai two slices of Dried Meat.
“Doctor, you really can’t blame me for being suspicious. Your current state is truly not right! You’re not even drinking Nutrient Solution anymore. You haven’t touched any of the Nutrient Solution you stored here before.
Look at how you’re eating now; you don’t have the slightest bit of the demeanor of a Young Master from a Noble Family in the Capital City. You’re not elegant at all. Look at how you were before; you were so elegant!
You’re completely unrecognizable.”
Song Tiantian didn’t expect Dr. Bai to answer her.
However, Black Crow and Bai Lian were both present. Although these two Pet Beasts didn’t say anything on the surface, they were definitely complaining wildly in their hearts.
【Song Tiantian seems to have a point. Could Master have been driven mad by that Ghost!】
【Isn’t that obvious? Master never ate so much delicious food before, so of course he didn’t like eating. But now, after eating so much delicious food, of course he likes it.
It’s just a pity for me. I was always in the Pet Beast Space and never came out, so I didn’t get to eat a single meal. This broken flower has had such a good life for so long.】
Black Crow didn’t realize its Master’s change at all. It thought Dr. Bai’s current appearance was normal.
“There’s nothing to be suspicious about. If you were hung up there for a month without eating or drinking, I doubt you’d be able to maintain an elegant demeanor either.”
Dr. Bai said indifferently while eating.
However, Dr. Bai’s speed noticeably slowed down, and he naturally adjusted his posture.
The indescribable aura from before returned, and even the Dried Meat seemed more Advanced Level between his fingers.
Song Tiantian sighed inwardly. Dr. Bai was the only one who could wear cotton pajamas and make them look like silk.
At this moment, his clothes also seemed more Advanced Level.
Song Tiantian couldn’t help but straighten her back; sitting like this was truly uncomfortable.
No matter how Powerful Dr. Bai was, he was still an Ordinary Person. Just like no matter how pure and bright someone is, they still poop and have urgent needs.
“Doctor, I’m just curious. Why didn’t the Ghost kill you directly, but instead torture you like this? Do you have some mortal enmity between you?”
Killing someone is as simple as a nod of the head. In Song Tiantian’s opinion, Dr. Bai being hung up there was clearly the Ghost’s way of torturing him.
They must have wanted Dr. Bai to feel the threat of Death bit by bit.
“It wasn’t the Ghost!”
“Not the Ghost?”
Song Tiantian was shocked.
So it wasn’t the Ghost that hung Dr. Bai there.
【The Ghost led Doctor there, but unexpectedly, people’s hearts are unpredictable. The Bai Family had already laid an ambush. If the Bai Family hadn’t joined forces with the Ghost, how could Doctor have fallen into such a dangerous situation!】
【Before, I didn’t understand why Master insisted on opposing the Ghost and refusing to hand over Song Tiantian, offending the Ghost and ending up like this. Now, it seems it was all worth it. If Song Tiantian were gone, this king would never be able to eat such delicious food in this lifetime.】
Dr. Bai remained silent.
However, Bai Lian and Black Crow clearly knew the inside story.
Song Tiantian knew she had spoken out of turn and no longer wished to touch upon Dr. Bai’s vulnerable inner feelings.
“Doctor, I know this is very offensive, and I know you’ll mind. Tomorrow I’ll make you a big meal as compensation, but I must know about the Ghost’s situation because I’m on the Ghost’s list, and I’m terrified.”
Song Tiantian also knew that if she continued to ask, Dr. Bai might get angry.
She didn’t know why the Bai Family wanted to deal with Dr. Bai, nor why the Bai Family wanted to join forces with the Ghost.
But she had to ask; she couldn’t deal with the Ghost at all right now, especially since Dr. Bai had been reduced to this state by the Ghost.
Dr. Bai was likely dealing with the Ghost for her sake, although this might be a narcissistic thought.
“You are the Ghost’s final prey; it won’t harm you. When I was trapped in the Secret Realm, the Ghost was free. It didn’t attack you, which proves you were never the Ghost’s target. Otherwise, even with me guarding you, you would have been hunted by the Ghost.
But you appear at the end of the Ghost’s list, which means you are the Ghost’s prey, but it won’t kill you now.
It’s probably waiting for you to become stronger before killing you.”
Dr. Bai stated his guess.
There were still points about the Ghost’s actions that he couldn’t quite understand.
But Song Tiantian was special; he knew that, and the Ghost also knew.
Therefore, he was certain that the Ghost wouldn’t kill Song Tiantian easily.
However, there should be some means left by the Ghost on Song Tiantian, but he hadn’t found any abnormalities.
