Chapter 205: Daily Life
“No, this should be… the third failure.”
The first failure was when she was still in her mother’s stomach, the second was at the Jiang family… the third was inside Youlan Hospital…
“Give me an explanation, Old Ghost Li.”
Clean new sneakers stepped on the back of Old Ghost Li’s hand as he lay trembling on the ground. Old Ghost Li seemed to suffer great pain, his face becoming exceptionally ferocious from the agony.
He was sweating profusely, his body trembling as he cried out his innocence: “Young Master, it’s really not that I’m trash, Young Master! It’s that Nan Yuanman, she’s not an ordinary kid! She’s even more sinister than me!”
“Not only does she have a powerful zombie by her side, but also some kind of spirit thing I don’t know what it is, an evil ghost, and a magic tool with a spirit!”
Old Ghost Li grew more aggrieved as he spoke: “To deal with her, the fierce ghost I painstakingly raised was all killed! This time, I even wasted a substitute puppet to escape!”
Not only that, he was also injured and had used up a piece of Tai Sui meat! This operation had caused him heavy losses!
He gnashed his teeth in hatred: “Young Master, it must be someone from Sanqing Temple who intervened! Otherwise, a kid like her wouldn’t have so many things!”
The person he called Young Master didn’t speak, seemingly scrutinizing him and pondering if his words were true or false.
Cold sweat covered Old Ghost Li’s forehead. He lay on the ground, pressing his forehead tightly to the floor, his voice tense: “Young Master, this time I didn’t accomplish nothing. I-I sent a nail to her side. When the time is right, the nail will help us deal with her.”
“Please give me one more chance, Young Master. This time, I definitely won’t fail!”
The room fell into complete silence, the atmosphere becoming oppressively heavy, as if a large mountain was firmly pressing on Old Ghost Li’s back.
His breathing grew heavier, and in his ears was only the rapid thumping of his heartbeat.
“Fine.” After a long while, that clear voice rang out like heavenly music: “This is your last chance.”
“I’ll leave Xiao Zhenzi with you. If you still fail with her help…”
“It won’t happen, it won’t!” Old Ghost Li shook his head frantically: “With Young Master’s help, this time it will definitely succeed!”
“I hope so. When dealing with that kid, don’t forget your main duty…”
That clear voice let out a light hum, the new sneakers moved away from his hand, and the footsteps gradually faded.
When Old Ghost Li raised his head, the person’s figure was gone from sight, leaving only a clay doll on the ground with a princess cut hairstyle, wearing Japanese clothes, cheeks coated with bright red blush, and a cute smile at the corner of its mouth.
He let out a heavy breath, sitting on the ground like a puddle of mud to relax his taut nerves.
The clay doll’s black beady eyes stared at him, the curve of its mouth lifting a bit more, as if mocking him.
Old Ghost Li was furious but didn’t dare speak, and had to carefully pick up the clay doll from the ground and place it into the red shrine.
On the other side.
Jiang Huiqin looked at Liu Hui, recalling the news she heard last night, a strange smile appearing on her face as she asked in a hoarse voice: “You’re also here to find Master Li?”
Liu Hui subtly glanced at the woman before her who looked nearly twenty years older, completely devoid of her former dignified and elegant noble lady demeanor, and subconsciously asked her: “How do you know?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she instantly realized, grabbing Jiang Huiqin’s arm excitedly: “You’re also here to ask Master Li for medicine, right?”
Right! Jiang Huiqin’s son also died! She must be here to ask for medicine too!
“How did it go? Did you get the medicine? What’s the price for the medicine?”
Jiang Huiqin gave a meaningful look: “The medicine… of course I got it. As for the price… Master Li will tell you.”
Hearing this, Liu Hui excitedly looked at Zheng Zetao. Zheng Zetao felt a bit more reassured in his heart, thanked Jiang Huiqin, and turned to leave.
Jiang Huiqin stood in place watching their departing figures. Suddenly something moved in her pocket, as if someone was dissatisfied and kicked her. Her body swayed, she quickly came back to her senses, and carefully took out a male rag doll from her pocket.
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, son. Mom will go home right away. Did you like that woman just now? She’s younger than Mom, and the Zheng family is more welcoming than the Sun family. How about you go into her stomach…”
Jiang Huiqin turned around and muttered to the rag doll while stumbling along with her head down.
A sharp male voice that ordinary people couldn’t hear rang out: “I don’t want to! The Zheng family can’t compare to the Feng family at all! I want Feng Jingcheng’s body!”
“But the Feng family… I can’t even contact them…” Jiang Huiqin looked troubled: “Do you want to change to another? How about the Xiao family? Xiao Qidong is not bad, very healthy…”
–
After Nan Yuanman played with Feng Jingcheng for a while, Feng Zining took the two big kid and little kid back to Feng Family Manor.
Feng Jingcheng stood at the manor gate, looking up at the familiar surroundings, feeling a bit emotional in his heart.
Meng Qingwan, who had received the news, was already waiting at the doorway early. Nan Yuanman happily ran toward her: “Aunt Qingwan~”
“Oh, little Yuanman! I’ve missed you so much!” Meng Qingwan picked up Nan Yuanman and kissed her soft little face hard.
Feng Zining nodded politely to her: “Aunt Meng.”
Feng Jingcheng awkwardly touched his nose tip and also greeted her.
“Zining and Jingcheng are back too. Come on in! Your little uncle is waiting for you!” Meng Qingwan called them in with a smiling face, as if there was no barrier between her and them.
Feng Zining lightly hummed and followed her into the manor. Nan Yuanman happily whispered in Meng Qingwan’s ear.
Meng Qingwan provided plenty of emotional value, exclaiming in surprise from time to time: “Wow! Our little Yuanman is so amazing! They were really so stupid. Without Yuanman, they would have all been eaten by the mirror!”
Nan Yuanman’s little face flushed red from the praise, her little mouth couldn’t help but grin silly, proudly puffing out her little chest: “Of course! I’m going to be the world’s best coffin maker!”
This proud little appearance made Meng Qingwan adore her so much that she grabbed her cheeks and kissed them repeatedly.
They laughed and played all the way back home, where they were met by Feng Congqian who had just finished a video conference.
Nan Yuanman grinned and called out to him: “Uncle Feng!”
Feng Congqian responded and walked slowly toward her, his gaze falling on Feng Zining: “Back?”
Feng Zining looked a bit embarrassed, his voice lowering: “Little uncle…”
Feng Jingcheng touched his nose tip and spoke first: “Cough cough, yeah! What, not welcome?”
Feng Zining couldn’t help but step on his foot. Feng Congqian looked at Feng Jingcheng grimacing in pain and lightly chuckled: “Of course welcome.”
“The butler cleans your rooms daily. Go rest up.”
With old man there, Nan Yuanman threw the two brothers Feng Zining and Feng Jingcheng to the back of her mind and excitedly ran to him, opening her arms.
Feng Congqian skillfully picked her up. Nan Yuanman pressed her little head against his and opened the conversation with Feng Xingchi on her watch, where he had sent her a shop link for buying Tai Sui meat.
“Uncle Feng, help me check out this shop…”
Before she finished speaking, the watch vibrated again, and Jiang Lixuan’s name appeared on the screen.
