Chapter 058 The three days of waiting 3
…
Jisoo feel a bit weird when the warm man before her suddenly turned cold. She did not know what made him suddenly change his attitude, but she did not want to linger with that.
She just casually takes her backpack off and then tried to look at her side which seems to have a trace of blood.
She could not help but smile as she remembers how she got such a wound. To fool the one controlling those vengeful ghosts, she has to get hit.
After getting hit she hid in the smog and hunted the ghosts one by one.
She did not want to deal with this anymore as she looks at him and then waved her hand.
"I'm fine, it's just a flesh wound." She said then takes her backpack and walked towards the door.
Then suddenly, he grabbed her arm.
Jisoo could not help but bit her lower lips as she truly like what she is feeling right now. It was a tingling feeling on her skin which made her want to melt in his arms.
Upon thinking to this point, she suddenly woke up.
"This damn emotion…" she cursed under her breath.
"Huh? What did you say?" Arthur suddenly asked.
"Ugh… Nothing… Nothing… I'm fine, you can rest now." she said as she was about to take another step.
Arthur coldly gazes at her but could not help but also worry. So he put a slight force on her arm to tug her back. But who would have known that this would make Jisoo lose her footing and fall back into his arms?
As he hugged her, his big palms subconsciously grabbed two soft mounds making him almost lose his mind.
Jisoo was frozen stiff when she feels that two big palms are grabbing her two big white rabbits. Then suddenly the two hands moved subconsciously and slightly squeeze her mounds as if feeling their elasticity.
She almost moaned as she feels a slight pleasurable sensation.
The two froze in that position for a few seconds, before Arthur quickly released his hands.
"Sorry… Sorry… I… I did not…" Arthur feels guilty not for grabbing her breast but for squeezing them.
He could not help it, as it was like a subconscious act.
Jisoo did not say anything and grabbed her collar. She turns around and walked out of the room.
When she returns to her room, she quickly hid her head on the pillow and then shouts.
She remembers Anne telling her that if she is feeling happy, sad, or excited, and could not express them loudly, she could just borrow her head on a pillow and shout.
After shouting for a couple of times, she calmed down for a bit.
Then lies on the bed with her long hair spread all over.
Her ruddy cheeks made her look like a blushing flower, beautiful to the extreme.
If Arthur could see her now, one would not know if he could still control himself or not.
At this time, Arthur is lying on his bed while looking at the ceiling.
He looks at his right hand and then a slight smile appears on his handsome face.
That sensation was truly…, absolutely…, very satisfying.
A slight smile appears on his face as he seems to have made a resolute decision in his mind.
"If she is casting a spell on me, then so be it. If she wanted my all, then I can only give them to her…" he muttered.
"But why am I truly attracted to her? Is it just her superficial beauty?"
"No… I think there's more to it. I think it's her quirks and her abilities. Even her slightly cold demeanor sometimes…"
"Should I make the first move?"
Arthur began to think deeply and imagine how he would face Jisoo the next day.
…
That morning, Arthur has black bags under his eyes as the two have breakfast.
She could not help but notice them but did not say anything.
Arthur's secretary arrived that morning and handed him some of the work he have from the office. Soon, Jisoo finished breakfast and decide to visit the woodland surrounding the ancestral home of the Tangs.
She is going to locate those people that have suffered and received the backlash of getting their controlled ghost destroyed.
As usual, Arthur followed behind her.
They then saw a couple of clothes on the ground with ashes in them.
"The backlash is far too strong… These people are stupid to get an equal contract with those ghosts…" she said while she extended her finger to check the ash on the ground.
As soon as her finger touches the ash, she closed her eyes and then read the past of the owner of the ash. She did not want to kill these people, but it was their fault that they have died that way. After reading their past, she shook her head as these people are just pawns.
She might not be able to read minds, but looking into someone's past is as simple as a rune array in her mind.
As she opened her eyes, she looks at the ancestral home and once again shook her head.
She then looks at Arthur and walks in front of him.
Arthur was taken aback but did not move. His heart began to pound loudly.
As she extends her hand to his collar, her small face drew closer to him.
He could not help but feel expectant at this time and even slightly closed his eyes.
Her breathing immediately made his mind goes blank as he could not help but get drawn to her.
Jisoo found the trace of a recording device on his collar which looks like a small button.
But before she could remove it, she suddenly noticed Arthur's face getting closer to her. Upon seeing this, her heart skipped a beat.
She could not help but looks at his handsome face and those pinkish lips of his.
But suddenly, her eyes went sharp when she quickly shove him to the side and extend her two fingers.
Swoosh!!!
Caught between her two fingers is a long needle targeted at the back of Arthur.
Then her eyes landed on the figure that quickly turns around.
Without hesitation, she flicks the needle back.
"I'll return this to you!" she said with a sneer.
The long needle flew past some falling leaves skewering them and removing the poison on its surface. After hitting five leaves, Jisoo knew that the poison should not be that lethal anymore.
That shadow figure was hit on its shoulder and fell tumbling to the ground.
"Let's go…" she grabbed Arthur's hand and drags him with her.
Arthur who has recovered from his stupor already noticed that something is wrong and quickly followed her.
The two then saw a man wearing a suit and a bonnet lying on the ground while writhing in pain.
Jisoo sneered and then squatted down.
"Who are you, and who are you working for?" she asked as she suddenly pinches the nape of the man.
The man froze but his face still squirms in pain.
She takes out a silver needle from her wrist and then inserted it into the man's head.
The man suddenly froze.
"Who are you working for?" she asked once again.
The man's eyes turned dull, and then his mouth opened.
"We are hired assassins from the Tri-headed Dragon… We are to capture Arthur Tang… and kill the woman with him…" he said in a robotic manner.
Jisoo frowned but then sneered.
This man is part of another group and is different from those ghost herders.
Those ghost herders are cultivators that are living with the servants in the ancestral home. She still has 2 days left before going back, so she has decided that today she would clean them up so that she could cultivate her Reiki in peace until tomorrow.
As soon as this thought enters her mind, she quickly knocks the man unconscious and then inserted a few needles into his body. This would turn the man into a vegetable.
She then carried his large body like he was nothing and then dashed back to the ancestral home.
Arthur wanted to take the man from her, but she is very resolute. She did not want to delay things so she decides to quickly finish things off.
Before entering the manor, she put the man outside the back wall and the two enter the manor. While walking, she could immediately recognize the faces she had seen from that vision she touched in the ashes.
When she saw a bald old man walking toward her, she nods her head.
The old man looks like a normal person, but she could now notice the black Reiki slightly emitting from his body. Her cultivation is very low, so she is unable to detect that unless she changes her eye color. But that would also expose her ability to her enemies.
When the old man passed by her, she extended her hand and a needle pricked his neck.
The old man thought that a mosquito bit him, so he slapped his neck… then shook his head when he found that it was nothing.
Not long later, he feels a bit drowsy as he walks toward a room. At this time, Jisoo has also made her move and entered the same room.
Inside the room, there are three more people and she threw several needles at them making them faint before they could even react.
After capturing those people, she began to capture the rest of those that are involved in ghost herding.
Arthur just followed and did as she commands. He felt anger in his heart as these people are the people he trusted in this place.
It turned out that they are actually herding the ghost of their ancestors and the heroes of old.
And so the day ended as Jisoo began to absorb the dark Reiki on those people's bodies releasing the multiple ghosts they have captured.
She then rendered them unconscious with her needles.
After that, she cultivated in peace while Arthur would watch her on the side. Though he still has his doubts, for now, he just wants to enjoy the company.
"Intense and thrilling as what people say, I guess they are not telling a lie… This is what they call… dating?" he thought.
