Chapter 266: A Big Surprise
A hint of panic appeared on Jiang Hengzhi’s face. He supported himself with both hands on the ground, trying hard to stand up, but after barely rising a little, he tilted and fell back into the field.
“I… my legs…” Jiang Hengzhi completely panicked. His legs had no sensation at all, just like his lower body had been severed.
Zhong Xueliu noticed Jiang Hengzhi’s movements, stepped forward, took out her mobile phone, typed, and converted it to speech: “Hello, do you need help?”
Jiang Hengzhi seemed to grasp the last straw, his voice hoarse as he hurriedly spoke: “My legs have no sensation! Quick! Quick, send me to the hospital!”
Jiang Chuyun moved a bit and also discovered that except for his head, his limbs couldn’t move at all. He panicked and called out: “I-I can’t move either.”
Hearing this, Zhong Xueliu hurriedly sent a message to Qi Chuhan, asking her to call an ambulance over.
Soon, the ambulance arrived and quickly lifted the three Jiang family members from the field onto the ambulance and took them to the hospital.
Nan Yuanman didn’t take them seriously. She took out a Purification Talisman and purified all the remaining yin energy and ghost energy in Batang Village.
She also killed all the red spiders hidden deep underground, then took out talismans and set up a simple protective shield around the area.
After doing these things, Nan Yuanman finally went to Bai Wenyin’s grave.
Bai Wenyin’s grave was in a plot of land that Old Master Nan had contracted in his early years. The location was very hidden, and plus Old Master Nan had set up a concealment array around it, people without any cultivation really couldn’t find it.
Nan Yuanman confirmed that Bai Wenyin’s grave was undamaged before carefully taking out the incense and offerings she had prepared earlier to make offerings to her.
‘Bai Wenyin’ floated beside Nan Yuanman, lowering her eyes to watch her skillfully light the incense and burn paper, as if she had done these things many, many times. A sudden sting came to her heart, and even more, it was heartache for Nan Yuanman.
She opened her mouth and softly called her: “Yuanman…”
“What’s wrong, Mother?” Nan Yuanman squatted on the ground and turned her head, looking at her cutely.
“I… actually I…”
“Ah!” Nan Yuanman suddenly called out and hurriedly walked to the side: “Why are there so many weeds here? Mother, wait for me, I’ll clean up the weeds here.”
The words ‘Bai Wenyin’ wanted to say were interrupted by her. She could only sigh helplessly and silently step forward to weed together with Nan Yuanman.
At that time, in Shangjing, in a certain manor on the outskirts.
The moment Jiang Zhen was devoured, the slender young man sitting in the dim room suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Master!” The subordinate guarding in the shadows was shocked and immediately asked the swaying young man anxiously: “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” The young man’s eyes darkened. He slowly wiped away the blood overflowing from the corner of his lips, his voice cold: “Go tell Yamamoto that Xiao Zhenzi has fallen.”
The subordinate: “What?! Lady Zhenzi has fallen? H-How is that possible?!”
Lady Zhenzi was an evil ghost that had been sealed in the shrine for a hundred years! Upon emergence, she devoured the living souls of an entire village! She even killed a 908 spy hiding in the church!
How could such a powerful Lady Zhenzi have fallen?!
The slender man closed his eyes: “It was the Ominous Star.”
It was his miscalculation.
He never expected that Nan Yuanman, who was clearly the Ominous Star, would possess merit power on her that could burn all yin entities…
Exactly where did it go wrong?
The slender man’s eyes flickered uncertainly, unable to figure it out no matter what.
The subordinate also found it hard to believe: “B-But didn’t they say the Ominous Star is just a five-year-old child?”
A five-year-old child killed a century-old evil ghost?
The slender man closed his eyes and didn’t respond. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, and the subordinate instinctively held his breath.
“Notify everyone: suspend matters targeting the Ominous Star for now. Wait until I investigate the strangeness on the Ominous Star, then make a move against her.”
There were too many oddities on Nan Yuanman. Old Ghost Li and Xiao Zhenzi had successively fallen to her. He didn’t dare continue sending people against her, fearing that it would draw 908’s attention, which would be more loss than gain.
The slender man slowly stood up: “I’ll return to the church. Before then, no one is to approach the Ominous Star again. For now, first control the rich merchants in other cities.”
The subordinate: “Yes!”
The slender man’s shadow on the ground writhed rapidly, like a black hole, slowly swallowing the man’s body. In an instant, the man in the room disappeared.
–
On the other side, after wrapping up things in Batang Village, Nan Yuanman planned to ride in Zhong Xueliu’s car back to S City.
She had just packed up Old Master Nan and Bai Wenyin and taken them away, and as she walked toward the village entrance, she saw from afar a tall and upright figure striding quickly toward her.
Nan Yuanman was stunned for a moment. When she saw clearly who the figure was, joy appeared on her face, and she quickened her pace, rushing over like a little cannonball: “Father!”
Feng Congqian caught Nan Yuanman and picked her up in one motion, anxiously looking her up and down to check if she had any wounds.
Nan Yuanman rubbed her face against his like a little kitten: “Why did you come?”
“Couldn’t contact you, so I wasn’t at ease.” Feng Congqian’s voice was slightly hoarse. After Nan Yuanman boarded the plane to S City, he had been uneasy, his heart on edge, fearing she would encounter danger.
So he handed the company matters back to Feng Zining again, applied for a private jet flight route, and came directly to S City to wait for Nan Yuanman to finish handling things.
Feng Congqian: “Are you injured?”
“No, Grandpa protected me well.” Nan Yuanman hugged his neck and giggled.
So this is what it feels like to have someone come pick you up—her heart felt warm.
Feng Congqian breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, weighed her up a bit, and felt some heartache: “You’ve gotten thinner.”
Zhong Xueliu passing by: “…”
She looked incredulously at the little chubby one in his arms. Nan Yuanman had been in S City for less than two full days—how could she have gotten thinner?!
“My tummy is a bit hungry. Father, let’s go eat something yummy.” Nan Yuanman touched her empty tummy and whispered mysteriously in his ear: “Father, I prepared a big surprise for you!”
Feng Congqian raised his eyebrow slightly: “Oh?”
He carried Nan Yuanman toward his car: “Father is looking forward to it.”
Qi Chuhan looked strangely at Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen, who hadn’t spoken since leaving Batang Village: “Senior Sister Zhong, Junior Brother Nan, why aren’t you speaking? Did you hurt your throats?”
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen exchanged a glance, both nodding emphatically in unison.
That’s right!
Their throats were ruined. For these three days, no one could make them say even one extra word!
Feng Congqian greeted the 908 people, then took Nan Yuanman back to S City and found a high-end restaurant to book a private room.
Although he was looking forward to the surprise Nan Yuanman had prepared for him, for him, filling his precious daughter’s stomach took priority.
After Nan Yuanman had eaten her fill, he booked a presidential suite in a seven-star hotel in S City so she could get plenty of rest.
Nan Yuanman sprawled on the sofa like a little frog, rested for a bit, then sat up and rummaged in her small shoulder bag.
Under Feng Congqian’s expectant gaze, she took out the small coffin, opened it, and released Bai Wenyin.
“Ta-da!”
“Father, I brought Mother back! Surprise!”
