Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

"Stop! Doctor! Please stop..." Ye An, tears streaming down his face, frantically applied the repellent potion all over his body and face.

Hearing such a horrifying description, even if there weren't any mosquitoes, he felt itchy all over.

In the dim light of the torch, Ye An's tear-streaked face made Qin Lily chuckle despite herself. "Look at you, so spineless. And you're supposed to be a man."

Ye An, like a frightened child, said nothing and clung to Qin Lily's sleeve, following closely behind her.

The cave seemed endless. The wind grew stronger, and the air became increasingly thick with deathly energy. Qin Lily frowned. So far, she hadn't encountered any ghosts or strange creatures.

Could it be that these beings were avoiding her because of her powers?

Suddenly, a white light glowed from her chest.

Qin Lily was startled, and Ye An trembled, his voice shaking. "W-what's that..."

Qin Lily, annoyed, said, "Can you be a bit braver? It's the Transmitting Sound Stone."

She took out the Transmitting Sound Stone, which was indeed the source of the light.

She had hoped to find the other stone here, but now that the stone was glowing, it meant it was in someone else's hands.

She felt a bit disappointed.

However, the glowing Transmitting Sound Stone emitted no sound.

Puzzled, she stared at the stone and infused it with her power, saying, "Hello, hello? Is anyone there?"

The stone glowed silently.

-

On the other side of the Transmitting Sound Stone.

Jun Mo's thin lips pressed together beneath his silver mask as he pondered the location of the other Transmitting Sound Stone.

He had found this stone in an underwater cave. He had assumed the other stone was still at the bottom of the pool, but it was now in someone else's possession.

His sword-like brows furrowed.

Receiving no response, Qin Lily muttered under her breath, "Damn, could it really be a ghost? Would a ghost use a cell phone... oops, I mean, a Transmitting Sound Stone?"

Jun Mo: "..."

Qin Lily questioned, "Okay then, are you a male ghost or a female ghost? A big ghost or a little ghost? Why aren't you talking? Are you a coward?"

After a long pause, just as Qin Lily was about to give up and continue deeper into the cave, a cold voice from the other side of the Transmitting Sound Stone spoke a single word.

"Human."

A single word transmitted through the Transmitting Sound Stone made Qin Lily's scalp tingle.

It was because the voice was incredibly pleasant, low, and sexy!

As someone who was very sensitive to voices, Qin Lily felt that this voice was enough to make her ears feel pregnant!

Moreover, from this single word, although spoken in a cold tone, Qin Lily could tell that the speaker was likely a young man!

A young man!

Qin Lily's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "Hey, you dead ghost~ finally willing to speak? I've been waiting so long!"

Jun Mo: "..."

Expressionless, he withdrew his power and tossed the Transmitting Sound Stone into his storage pouch.

What nonsense!

After a moment, he expressionlessly took out the Transmitting Sound Stone again, infused it with power, and spoke in a deep voice, "Do you want to sell it?"

"What? Sell?!" An exaggerated voice came from the other side. "Big brother, I sell my skills, not my body!"

Jun Mo: "..."

The young man on the other side stopped speaking again. Qin Lily, liking his voice, wanted to hear more, so she persistently asked, "Big brother, what's your surname? Where are you from? Since we have this connection, why not become friends?"

Jun Mo: "The Transmitting Sound Stone."

Qin Lily was confused. "What?"

Jun Mo: "The Transmitting Sound Stone, do you want to sell it?"

After a pause, he added, "Or, I can grant you a wish."

She wanted to befriend him, but he asked if she wanted to sell the Transmitting Sound Stone?

Qin Lily chuckled softly, "You mean you'll grant me a wish?"

Jun Mo: "Speak."

His inherent authoritative tone made it seem like granting a wish was the simplest thing in the world.

Qin Lily thought for a moment and said, "My wish... can you really make it come true?"

Jun Mo remained silent, waiting for her to state her wish.

Qin Lily suddenly laughed again, "My current wish is for you, young man, to sleep with me and be my pet. Of course, I'll take good care of you. Would you agree to that?"

Jun Mo: ".........."
