I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 158 - 116: Ghost Cultivator, Spring Dream Nightmare_3

Chapter 158: Chapter 116: Ghost Cultivator, Spring Dream Nightmare_3

The so-called Corpse Dog Soul is a kind of prewarning ability for mortals.

Especially when people are sleeping, if they encounter danger, the Corpse Dog Soul will behave abnormally.

Specifically, if you provoke something dirty... you will have nightmares!

Lin Chen observed that Nan Lingling’s Corpse Dog Soul was clearly overexerted.

It seemed to be in a constant state of alert all year round.

"There is indeed something unusual about Nan Lingling..."

Lin Chen thought to himself but didn’t say it directly.

After a few rounds of drinks, when Nan Lingling had played several tunes and danced a couple of times,

Lin Chen applauded and praised,

"Miss Lingling’s singing and dancing truly are unparalleled in Jade Belt City!"

"The tunes you played just now, I have never heard elsewhere. Did you create them recently?"

"With such talent, it’s strange that your hall is so deserted..."

Nan Lingling shuddered a bit upon hearing this and forced a smile.

"They are merely tunes I crafted out of boredom..."

"Young Master must have heard about what happened to me... With such matters, how many people dare to come and listen to me sing and dance?"

She paused for a moment and then curiously asked,

"Aren’t you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself after going back?"

Lin Chen shook his head, patted his chest jokingly, 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"I’m young and full of Qi and Blood, ghosts wouldn’t dare cling to me!"

Nan Lingling was stunned for a moment and, noticing Lin Chen’s strong build, her face blushed.

"Although you are young and full of Qi and Blood, encountering vengeful spirits is harmful to your body... It would be better if you go back early after dawn,"

Nan Lingling whispered, seemingly afraid of implicating Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled after hearing this and teased,

"Most girls would hope the guests stay longer to earn more money... Why is Miss Lingling chasing me away?"

Nan Lingling shook her head and said nothing, playing a couple more tunes.

After chatting a while, Lin Chen glanced at Nan Lingling and said,

"Miss Lingling, have you always had trouble sleeping, having frequent nightmares at night?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, she was first surprised and blurted out, "How could Young Master know?"

Nan Lingling clearly didn’t know Lin Chen’s identity as a Cultivator.

So Lin Chen casually replied,

"It’s a family-inherited Qi Observation Skill, allows me to see some issues... It seems these nightmares have been persisting for quite a while?"

Hesitation showed on Nan Lingling’s face after she heard this, perhaps not having seen a guest for a long time.

She gritted her teeth and said,

"I hope what I’ve shared with Young Master today won’t be spread around..."

"This problem of mine did indeed start three years ago, the day Young Master Zheng died..."

She paused, blushing a little,

"Ever since that day, every three to five days, I would dream... Spring Dreams..."

"I couldn’t clearly see the person’s face in the dream, but it was always the same person, and he would... Although I have sought masters to exorcise the evil and dispel the disaster, none could help at all."

"These constant nightmares, I simply ignored them over the years..."

"But lately, the frequency of these dreams is increasing, and the person’s actions are getting more violent... Even in dreams, I can barely endure it anymore..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen’s expression gradually turned solemn.

Nightmare Technique!

Nan Lingling has been put under a Nightmare!

And it’s a particularly lewd Spring Nightmare Ghost!

The so-called Nightmare Technique is a sinister technique mastered by Ghost Cultivators (Soul Cultivators), very rare.

The Evil Cultivator will personally, or summon a small ghost, enter the dream of the sleeper to achieve certain purposes.

This Dream Ghost can be a Scattering Wealth Ghost, bringing bad luck to others.

It could also be a Vengeful Ghost, causing a person to be entangled with resentment, ultimately leading to their demise.

And the Spring Dream Ghost is one of them...

"So, why target Nan Lingling? Could the Ghost Cultivator casting the spell be lusting after her beauty, coveting her for a long time?"

Lin Chen thought secretly, not ruling out this possibility.

This Nan Lingling is indeed extremely beautiful, one of the most beautiful that Lin Chen has seen.

And with her natural charm, making her pitiful to behold...

Not to mention mortals, even Cultivators find her hugely tempting.

"But how is this nightmare of Nan Lingling related to the skinning incidents?"

After meticulously pondering, Lin Chen could only focus on Young Master Zheng.

So, Lin Chen asked again,

"Miss Lingling, I heard that the first to be skinned was Young Master Zheng... What kind of person was Young Master Zheng?"

"Would you mind telling me?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Lingling sighed and did not hide it,

"The Zheng Family is a well-known rich merchant in Jade Belt City, operating in the city for three generations, selling jade stones."

"And that Young Master Zheng, though promiscuous, had a talent for poetry and literature..."

Nan Lingling shared a lot about Young Master Zheng and the Zheng Family.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Was Young Master Zheng a Cultivator?"

"A Cultivator?" Nan Lingling shook her head and replied, "I don’t think so; I never heard him say he went..."

After that, Lin Chen asked a few more things.

Until dawn, Lin Chen took out paper and pen and wrote a prescription.

"Miss Lingling, this is an ancestral calming prescription, though it can’t dispel nightmares, it can improve your spirit a bit..."

Nan Lingling took the prescription, nodded, and said,

"Thank you, Young Master..."

...

After leaving the Celestial Envy Workshop, Lin Chen did not return to the inn.

Instead, he headed to the south of the city.

The former Zheng Mansion was located in the south of the city.

A moment later, he arrived at a dilapidated mansion gate.

After the strange event with the Zheng Family, they moved out of Jade Belt City.

Due to the incident with Young Master Zheng, the wealthy merchants of Jade Belt City did not dare to buy the Zheng Mansion.

Years have passed, and the once grand mansion has fallen into ruin, with many weeds growing in the courtyard and dust covering the corners.

Gazing at the deserted street around him, Lin Chen lightly leapt into the Zheng Mansion.

His Divine Sense spread out like a tide, enveloping the entire Zheng Mansion in an instant.

Lin Chen observed the layout and details within the Zheng Mansion.

"Hmm, there doesn’t seem to be anything peculiar... though there seems to be a lot of uncut raw jade stones left behind in the mansion..."
