The Ghost on The Neck

Mr . Zhu continued, “Then, someone introduced me to a group of three Daoists . They told me that a powerful child spirit was currently pestering Xiaoying, and they were no match for it, so they set up this Fengshui to ease her condition . They promised me they would ask their master for help, but that was a month ago now… . ”

Ye Shaoyang could not help but shake his head, “Three idiots . ” He pondered for a moment and asked, “Mr . Zhu, how much did you pay them?”

“They asked for five hundred thousand, but I just paid two hundred thousand as a deposit . Since they did not solve the matter, I did not pay them the remaining amount . I can pay for a higher price, as long as Xiaoying can recover . ”

“Thirty thousand; I will settle the matter for you . ” Ye Shaoyang showed three fingers to Mr . Zhu .

Mr . Zhu looked forward to Ye Shaoyang’s help, but he heaved a sigh when he heard the price and answered in a flat tone, “They failed to treat Xiaoying even when I offered such high pay . I don’t think you can settle it with thirty thousand . ”

His answer left Ye Shaoyang speechless for a moment before he continued, “Do you really think if a sorcerer seeks a high pay, they would be powerful?”

“Of course, you get what you pay for . Sorry for being harsh, but a genuine Daoist would not display their skill for a small matter . ”

Ye Shaoyang helplessly shook his head, “First, I collect money from you because I don’t want you to owe me; if not, you would have to return the favor to me in your next life . That would take more than three hundred thousand . Therefore, I just asked for a symbolic pay . You can pay me after I have done treating your daughter . ”

His words stunned Mr . Zhu . He scanned Ye Shaoyang from head to toe . Zhuang Yuning felt it was the right time, so she quickly added, “Uncle Zhu, although Mr . Ye is young, he is a Heavenly Master from Maoshan Sect . No harm in letting him try . ”

Mr . Zhu seemed to feel relieved after listening to her words and made a decision as he stepped forward and held Ye Shaoyang’s hand emotionally, “If you can treat Xiaoying, I can pay you more than that . It is fine even if you want to marry Xiaoying . ”

Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes . What a strategic plan! Not only would he get his daughter treated, but he could also grab a good son-in-law .

“Let’s not waste time . Can you please lead us to your daughter’s room?”

Mr . Zhu hurriedly led the three of them to the second floor . Looking around the pavement in front, Ye Shaoyang became speechless: Sheets of yellow talisman papers filled the hallways in a manner that resembled the advertisement brochures stuck onto telephone poles . He shook his head as he followed Mr . Zhu to a room, and Mr . Zhu quietly pushed open the door .

The three peeped into the room at once: A young lady with disheveled hair and a dirty face sat on a bed . Her face was emaciated and appeared weak . Two pieces of white cloth were stuck on her forehead . Her eyes stared blankly over the wall and showed no response toward the interruption from the three .

“What is that white stuff on her forehead?” Zhuang Yuning wondered .

“They are the fever relieving pads . She always complained about having headache and would relieve a little after sticking those on . ”

However, Ye Shaoyang did not take notice of the things on Xiaoying’s forehead . In fact, he did not even look at her face but stared at her shoulders . He frowned heavily and sighed, “Now I understand . ”

“What have you understood?” Zhuang Yuning asked .

Ye Shaoyang did not answer her but he turned his head to Mr . Zhu, “I need a private space to perform Daoist crafts . I promise you I will bring back a well-conditioned daughter to you . ”

Mr . Zhu hesitated for a moment before he turned his back on them and left .

Ye Shaoyang closed the door . He stuck a Soul Repressing Talisman Paper on the door . Turning around, his face turned grave as he gazed at Zhu Zhongying .

“Big Brother Shaoyang, what did you just see?” Zhuang Yuning asked in low voice .

Ye Shaoyang reached out for some Qixing Grass Liquid and sprayed them onto the eyes of Xiao Ma and Zhuang Yuning, “Don't get frightened . Look for yourself . ”

Zhuang Yuning rubbed her eyes and stared at Zhu Zhongying . She froze at once, and her eyes widened . Her body leaned hard on the door, and her palms covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from screaming:

On her shoulders sat a three-year-old girl, skinny with long hair with crumpled red pajamas . The girl had a pair of big protruding eyes . The eyes were pitch black and the white of the eyes could not be seen . She was riding on Zhu Zhongying’s shoulders and her two small palms were pinching at each side of Zhu Zhongying’s temple .

Realizing that the three could see her, she showed no fear but warned them with her mouth wide opened, baring her two fangs .

Zhuang Yuning had never seen such a horrific scene . She almost fainted but could barely withstand the sight thanks to the presence of Ye Shaoyang .

Xiao Ma was terrified too but his fear threshold was higher than her . He returned to his senses after a moment and asked, “What kind of spirit is that? And what is she doing with her fingers moving through her head?”

“She is extracting Zhu Zhongying’s soul to eat later . ” Ye Shaoyang answered as he gazed at the spirit .

“To eat? Is that a cultivation method?”

Seeing Ye Shaoyang nodded, he quickly added, “Can she be normal again?”

“She became mad because it has eaten up two of her seven Po . If we had come one or two months later, it might have consumed more than three Po . At that time, even I have no confidence in bringing her back to normal even after helping her gather her Po . ” As he spoke, he advanced toward Zhu Zhongying .

Silently, he hid his Gang Qi, preventing the spirit from detecting his cultivation level . The spirit loosened its grip on Zhu Zhongying and jumped on the bed when it saw him approached . When it came into contact with the ground, a pool of blood suddenly emerged from the smooth, shining floor . It sank into the blood and disappeared .

“What happened? Where did the spirit go?” Zhuang Yuning asked as she looked around in a panic . Suddenly, she felt her legs give way . She hung her head down and saw that a puddle of blood had appeared underneath her feet . A pair of hands covered with blood emerged and grasped her ankles and pulled her into the blood pool . Zhuang Yuning felt her conscious leave her mind; it was being pulled into the blood pool .

Ye Shaoyang sprung toward her and stuck a just drawn Soul Binding Talisman Paper onto her forehead and comforted her, “It was trying to pull your soul . Don't worry, this talisman paper will bind your soul . ” As he spoke, he stuck one onto Xiao Ma’s face too .

The spirit gave up its plan once it realized that its strategy could not work and dived into the ground and disappeared .

Moments later, another puddle of blood emerged under Ye Shaoyang’s feet and extended out . Ye Shaoyang snorted . With a flick, he cast out some cinnabar powder from his right little finger and drew a Soul Extorting Curse on his left palm . Before he finished drawing, the pair of hands reappeared and grasped his ankles .

However, Ye Shaoyang did not bother about it at all . Instead, he drew the curse in a steady manner .
