"Why are you looking for that ghost?" Song Dao's face became black. Could it be that it was that ghost that made the porcelain doll? Moreover, their relationship with each other was quite good? That couldn't be, Doll was his. How could he not clarify that with the ghost? When he looked closer, he saw that it was a female ghost that looked hideous and demonic. He couldn't let Doll see her from now on. She would hurt his eyes. He'll let her off the hook this time, however if she dared to appear before him again, he won't hesitate to send her off to reincarnate.
"She scared me to death." Within the porcelain doll, Shao Qian was hopping around anxiously. This chance of his would slip away soon. The female lead was definitely heavily injured at the moment, and if he gave her the opportunity to slip away once again, he would definitely be exterminated in the future by the female lead.
The moment Song Dao heard that, he flew into a rage. He still thought that he had to find the person that had harmed Doll and take revenge on them, yet he didn't expect that this ghost would send herself to his front step. Clutching the porcelain doll, he hurriedly gave chase in the direction the female ghost had fled in. It was just that, since he had already spared that ghost, who could find her now?
Therefore, it was dark when Song Dao returned home whilst hugging the porcelain doll dejectedly. He was determined to make that thing's soul fly away and scatter the next time he saw her.
Shao Qian hadn't believed for a single moment that they would be able to kill the female lead. However, when he saw Song Dao's dejected appearance, he felt particularly happy. He never expected that the personality of this world's male lead would be of such kind. He also wondered whether he would also secretly interact with the female lead in such manner in the original plot? When he thought of Song Dao treating the female lead in the same way as him, and even being intimate with her, his heart unknowingly felt unwell.
"Don't be mad. Next time I see that female ghost, I will definitely catch her." Bringing Shao Qian back into his home, Song Dao placed the porcelain doll onto his table. "Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something?
"Not hungry." Shao Qian replied in a low, muffled tone, "Release me. It's too small here, I'm uncomfortable."
Song Dao hesitated for a while, before he took out a small, bamboo model of a house and after chanting, he used a talisman to burn it. Just like that, the bamboo model of a house was burnt until nothing was left. After a while, it started to gradually emerge once again and finally, solidified to form a structure that looked exactly like it did before it had been burned.
"I'll take you out, so you need to be good." Song Dao bit his index finger and chanted a spell before he poked the porcelain doll's forehead. After that, a bright ball of light was taken out from inside the doll and placed into the bamboo house. Looking at the small person standing within the bamboo house, he laughed foolishly. "Do you like it?"
Standing within the bamboo house, Shao Qian was only able to see Song Dao's face. "You're giving me this house?"
"Mm. Do you like it?" Song Dao's tone carried anxiousness as he waited for the reply. "If you don't like it, I'll find another one for you."
"No need. I like it a lot." When looking at this kind of Song Dao, Shao Qian unknowingly felt as if he greatly resembled Zhang Zi Xuan. However, upon thinking about Zhang Zi Xuan, his mood became somewhat gloomy. After all, they had been together from morning to night daily for ten years, and if he said that he didn't have even a bit of feelings towards that person, it would be a lie.
"If you like it then that's good." Song Dao instantly revealed a smile. Looking at the porcelain doll on the table, he thought for a moment before taking out a delicate ornate box from underneath the table, and after chanting to open the box, he carefully placed the porcelain doll in. After closing the box, he also didn't forget to paste a paper talisman onto it.
"…" Witnessing the entire scene of the porcelain doll being sealed, Shao Qian was at a loss. Right now, should he oppose the male lead's action of sealing the porcelain doll? However, after thinking for a moment, he decided to forget about it. So long as the male lead didn't threaten him with it, he'll give that porcelain doll to him.
It was in such manner that Shao Qian, along with Song Dao, spent a few days peacefully. Of course, other than Song Dao cooking a table full of unknown food daily, as well as wanting to bring Shao Qian along when he went out every night, he was fine…
However, these kind of days did not last long. The two men's seemingly calm lifestyle was disrupted by a piece of information. Perhaps it was due to the porcelain doll being sealed that Song Dao wasn't afraid of Shao Qian slipping away. Therefore, he was fine with Shao Qian watching the television within the living room to relieve his boredom. It was just that whenever Shao Qian came out, he would always cover the Zhong Kui [1] picture in the house first and foremost.
Just as Song Dao was pondering on how about he should kill this live fish in his hand, he heard the person watching the television in the living room call for him. Therefore, he threw the fish back into the water before gladly running over hastily. "What's wrong?"
"Look at the news." Shao Qian nodded towards the television with his chin. "Just now, the news spoke about two people who died in a similarly strange way. The rim of their eyes were black, their faces had terrified expressions and their bladders had burst. It was as if they had been scared to death by something."
After saying that, he took the phone that he had placed at one side and gave it to Song Dao to see. "I just took a photo, look at it."
Song Dao took the phone. Once he saw it, his eyes and face immediately became icy. "They were scared to death first. And afterwards, their Yang qi was absorbed."
"If it were only absorbing their Yang qi, they still wouldn't have died in this kind of manner, right?" After going through Song Dao's dissemination for these past few days, Shao Qian also understood. The ghosts of this world wouldn't be so arrogant as to completely absorb someone's Yang qi in a single go. Relying on the practice of absorbing Yang qi could help them regain the strength they had in their prime, but they would only absorb a small amount before leaving.
This kind of situation where someone's energy had been completely absorbed in a single go, resulting in death, had not been seen for many years. If it wasn't that the ghost didn't understand the rules, then it was because it couldn't control itself due to outside influences. For example…
Shao Qian and Song Dao shared a glance. For example, the female lead that had been injured at that time.
"Want to lend a hand?" Song Dao was a Taoist exorcist. He shouldn't allow this kind of ghosts that harmed people's life get away, right?
"If it really is that injured female ghost, then it concerns me." The Taoism School paid close attention to preordained fate. If the cause of that person's death was really that injured female ghost, then it would partially be his fault. Therefore, he could only go and bring the consequence of his actions to an end.
"Okay. I'll come with you." Shao Qian turned his head to look at Song Dao who was standing at the side. "If it really is her, then it concerns me as well."
"Of course." He wasn't at ease with Doll staying at home alone, just a single ghost with no one else. So wouldn't it set his mind at ease by having him at his side?
Therefore, the two of them set off to where the incident took place, and at the exact same time, yet another person was killed. The female lead with a dazzling face narrowed her eyes drunkenly. It was precisely the kind of feeling when wrapped up within Yang qi that caused her to feel the most drunk. And after absorbing the Yang qi and feeling her ability rise by not little, she became seriously dazed. If she had cultivated like this earlier on, wouldn't it be fine? Why should she single-mindedly absorb the moon essence like she did before?
The female lead kicked away the two unmoving people beneath her feet. As long as she absorbed a few more people's Yang qi, she would definitely be able to gain back her full strength. And at that moment, she would definitely absorb and devour the person who harmed her, making him be unable to reincarnate or become a wandering ghost. Furthermore, that little ghost who had also injured her, she wouldn't let him off either.
Song Dao brought Shao Qian directly to the morgue, and after knocking twice, he pushed the door open and entered. However, upon seeing that there were people inside, he frowned. "What did you come here for?"
"What? You're allowed to come, but we're not? Senior apprentice." Before Shao Qian and Song Dao had entered, the morgue already had three people present within it. Upon seeing Shao Qian, the one who called Song Dao as senior apprentice had a gleam flash by within his eyes. "Senior apprentice, this ghost of yours is too cute. How about letting this junior apprentice trade for it?"
The person that said these words looked to be refined and someone who paid close attention to his appearance. However, Shao Qian would see his eyes flash depravedly from time to time. This kind of evil lustre really made him feel sick. It was as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, which seriously made him unwell. Shao Qian watched as the male lead's face instantly turned cold. This person was really a beast in human clothing, he deduces it clearly this time.
Shao Qian had simply wanted to secretly teach that person a lesson. However, Song Dao who was standing by his side, found it unbearable as he saw the way that scum was looking at his Doll. He didn't even look at what kind of lowly thing he is, yet he still dared to stare at his treasured person?
"What kind of thing are you? You dare to address me as senior apprentice?" Song Dao's face revealed disdain as he berated, "I've said this early on, but if you ever let me hear you call me senior apprentice again, I will definitely pull out your tongue and cripple your Gang qi."
