Chapter 235: Eat My Dog Barking Talisman!
As soon as Old Ghost Li’s door opened, Liu Hui grabbed his sleeve and knelt before him with a thud, crying out in panic: “Master Li, my son, he, he’s in trouble! Please go save him!”
Old Ghost Li frowned tightly, a trace of impatience appearing on his face hidden under the wide hat, and he spoke in a deep voice: “Didn’t I tell him to stay home and rest properly during this time? How did he get into trouble?”
“I…” Liu Hui stammered, not daring to look up at Old Ghost Li, keeping her head down firmly as she said: “I couldn’t stop him either. I thought as long as he just played with ordinary women, nothing would happen. Who knew…”
“Master, he must have run into another master. Please, you have to save him! As long as you can save my son, I’ll give you anything you want!”
Old Ghost Li could tell at a glance that Liu Hui wasn’t telling the truth. He coldly drew his sleeve from her hand: “When I gave you the medicine before, we already agreed payment in full. I can’t save Young Master. Please leave.”
“Master Li!” Liu Hui turned pale with fright and reached out in panic to grab the departing Old Ghost Li.
But at that moment, a sharp sword qi came from the side, and a short figure accompanied by a crisp child’s voice charged at Old Ghost Li: “Die! Big bad guy!”
Liu Hui: “!!”
Zheng Zetao, who also wanted to plead: “!!”
Both faces were stunned. Where did this child come from?!
Old Ghost Li was even more shocked and pale. He dodged back sharply, avoiding Nan Yuanman’s attack: “How did you find me?!”
Feng Jingcheng walked in from the staircase corner and spoke first before Liu Hui and Zheng Zetao could: “Thanks to Aunt Liu and Uncle Zheng. Without them, we wouldn’t have found you, you evil path who does all kinds of bad things!”
Liu Hui: “No! I didn’t…”
Old Ghost Li glared at Liu Hui and Zheng Zetao with shock and anger: “You’re working with the Feng family to set me up?!”
Cold sweat poured down Zheng Zetao’s forehead, and he kept retreating: “Master Li, listen to us explain. We didn’t…”
Feng Jingcheng grabbed Zheng Zetao’s shoulder: “Uncle Zheng, don’t be afraid. With Yuanman here, she’ll defeat the evil path and protect us!”
Zheng Zetao: “…” Get lost! Who asked you to protect us!!
“You got away last time, but this time, you won’t escape!” Nan Yuanman raised her chin and snorted lightly, directly throwing out Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong landed and grew big, perfectly blocking the room door. Zhuang Zhuang and Zhou Jingchuan ran out from the coffin.
Zhuang Zhuang: “Yuanman! I’m here to help you!”
Zhou Jingchuan rolled up his sleeves like a pro: “Leave fighting to adults. Kids, step aside!”
After the initial panic, Old Ghost Li calmed down. He sneered: “So young, but such a big mouth. Even if you hadn’t come for me, I was going to find you. This saves me the trouble.”
“Little brat, I was going to let you live a couple more days. Since you’re here to die, I’ll grant your wish!”
With that, Old Ghost Li’s body flew up instantly and landed on a cushion behind a low long table.
On the low long table in front of him were an incense burner, tribute rice, and a very brightly colored doll.
That doll faced directly toward Nan Yuanman, its bright red mouth curved in an exaggerated arc, as if smiling at her.
Old Ghost Li shouted lowly, chanted incantations with his hands, inserted them into the tribute rice, grabbed a handful and scattered it on the doll, muttering something under his breath.
Nan Yuanman could see he was opening the altar to perform a ritual. How could she give him the chance to finish?
She unhesitatingly gripped the copper coin sword and charged at Old Ghost Li together with Zhuang Zhuang and the whooping Zhou Jingchuan!
At that time, outside the room door blocked by the coffin.
Liu Hui and Zheng Zetao anxiously pounded the coffin board: “Master Li! Master Li! Are you okay?!”
They couldn’t hear any sounds from inside the room, perhaps because of this strange coffin, as if the room was isolated in a sealed space.
The moment Feng Jingcheng saw the room door blocked, his heart tensed for an instant, but he instantly relaxed upon seeing what was blocking it.
He crossed his arms and spoke mockingly: “Stop shouting. He’s too busy to help you now.”
“Feng Jingcheng!” As soon as he spoke, the distraught Liu Hui had someone to vent on. She turned around sharply and screamed as she lunged at him: “Why did you do this! What did my Zi’ang ever do to wrong your Feng family! Why cut off his lifeline like this!”
“I’m telling you, if my Zi’ang dies, you won’t live either!!”
Feng Jingcheng didn’t dodge. He grabbed Liu Hui’s hand and looked down at her coldly: “Zheng Zi’ang died long ago.”
“What’s alive now is just a monster wearing his skin.”
“Nonsense! He’s not dead!” Liu Hui’s pupils shrank, and she screamed in rebuttal: “My son is not dead!”
Feng Jingcheng snorted with a laugh, staring tightly into her eyes: “Is he really not dead?”
Liu Hui was like a goose grabbed by the neck, suddenly unable to make a sound. She looked at Feng Jingcheng in panic and fear.
Feng Jingcheng sneered coldly and flung her hand away, turning to Zheng Zetao who had been silent since he appeared: “Uncle Zheng, do you think the one alive now is still your son from before?”
Zheng Zetao didn’t speak. His brain raced, resenting Zheng Zi’ang for provoking the Feng family while guessing how much the Feng family knew.
He knew very well that what they were doing couldn’t see the light of day. If Feng Jingcheng reported it to the authorities, the Zheng family would face a full inspection from above.
Then, the Zheng family’s shady business… would no longer be hidden.
Zheng Zetao gritted his teeth, supported Liu Hui, looked at Feng Jingcheng with a face full of sadness and sorrow: “I know the dead can’t come back to life, but… no matter what, he’s my son.”
“Young Master Feng, could you… for the sake of my heartfelt love for my son, pretend you saw nothing today? Know nothing?”
Before Feng Jingcheng could refuse, he threw out a highly tempting condition: “If… if you keep this secret for us, I’ll tell you the secret of how Zi’ang came back to life.”
“I remember your father and mother also died in an accident, right? Don’t you… want them to live again?”
Feng Jingcheng’s brow twitched slightly, his eyes deepening as he looked at Zheng Zetao.
–
Heated talk outside, fierce fight inside.
Old Ghost Li had never seen a sorcerer with so many talismans on them!
That small shoulder bag was like a bottomless pit, throwing out one stack after another! All the evil ghosts he raised were blasted clean by stack after stack of heavenly lightning talismans!
The yin energy that had finally gathered in the room was also blasted away!
Old Ghost Li was on the verge of collapse, gritting his teeth and cursing her: “Damn, are you a wholesale store?! Where did you get so many talismans!”
“A lot?” Nan Yuanman pulled out another stack of assorted talismans and scattered them toward him like a celestial maiden scattering flowers: “If it’s a lot, then perfect! Take my dog barking talisman!”
