Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

3238 Waiting Silently

On the other side of the courtyard, Feng Jiu was resting on the soft couch in the room. Outside, silence reigned and there was no sound as the night progressed.

There was no light in the room, and it was pitch black. So, while Feng Jiu was lying on the soft bed, it was extremely difficult to notice that another person was there if one did not pay attention.

After midnight, there was a sudden rustle of leaves outside and a faint sound of the wind patting the door and window. The night wind blew in through the crack of the door and the half-open window, icy cold and penetrating enough to make people shiver.

The room was extremely quiet, but Feng Jiu, sitting on the soft couch, opened her eyes and calmly looked at the pitch-dark room.

She restrained her aura and blended into the room without making a sound until she noticed a few faintly discernible and transparent figures drifting in. She squinted and fixed her gaze on the ghosts in front of her.

“This kid is dying, so let me use this body!”

“No! It was agreed that it would be mine!”

“How is that possible? This kid is about to die. Of course, because I’m using my greatest strength, I’m the most suitable to use his body.”

“I’ll do it!” One of the ghosts spoke up. The transparent figure threw itself forward, but golden rays emitted by the dazzling eight trigrams bounced it off.

“Aaah”

The ghost tried hard to pounce down but failed. Since it didn’t leave any room for itself to manoeuvre as it used all of its power, it vanished instantly after being struck by the radiant light of the eight trigrams, leaving behind only a scream.

When the Qin family heard the wailing scream in the middle of the night, they were shocked and wanted to investigate. However, they remembered Feng Jiu’s instructions and could do nothing but suppress their anxiety and wait.

But the ghosts were shocked by what they saw in the side room. They watched helplessly as one of the ghosts vanished into the air, and fear flashed through their eyes as they all took a few steps back one after the other.

“What, what happened?”

“This kid has a treasure on his body! We can’t approach him!”

A few ghosts were talking as they made another attempt to approach, but to no avail. Before they could get closer to the man lying still on the bed, the bright glow emanating from his chest bounced them away.

“Hiss! How strange! This kid wears an Eight Trigrams Jade on his chest!” One ghost said resentfully. It was very upset that it couldn’t get close to the body it had been guarding for so many years.

“What should we do, then? We can’t get near this kid.”

“We can only leave first and then figure out a way. That ancient jade is extremely powerful, and it is not your average jade. I’m afraid we’ll end up in a desperate situation if we come forward forcibly.”

“Let’s leave then!”

A few ghosts were talking about leaving when they heard a slow chuckle. They let out a low cry and quickly huddled together.

“Why hurry to leave now that you’re here?” Feng Jiu’s lips curled into a devilish smile as she watched the ghosts with interest.

“Who’s there? Come out!” Those huddling ghosts screamed. After a careful look, they finally found the person hiding in the shadows!
