Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Master Huang Prepares to Catch Ghosts_1

The sky gradually darkened, the onset of evening in winter seeming especially early.

Monk Mi Xian’s parents had prepared a large table of food, inviting Master Huang to sit at the head.

Master Huang, without ceremony, with his huge body, plopped himself down directly and then began to drink heavily and consu large mouthfuls of at.

Qin Sisi frowned as she watched; no wonder his body was so plump with such an appetite.

Naturally, Mi Xian’s parents also felt Master Huang’s eating habits were a bit unsightly, but they had no choice. He was a master after all! Their son’s life depended on his help!

With no other option, Mi Xian’s parents awkwardly invited Qin Sisi and Mi Xian to hurry and eat.

Through Mi Xian’s introduction, her parents knew that their daughter’s friend was visiting. Out of courtesy, they greeted Qin Sisi a few tis, but their minds were clearly preoccupied.

Qin Sisi did not mind, knowing their child was in danger; how could she expect them to be in a good mood?

Qin Sisi, seizing the mont when Mi Xian went to wash the dishes and Mi Xian’s parents went to stay by their son’s side, went alone into the yard to discuss a few words in low voices with Ye You, deliberating their plan of action.

As the night deepened, Master Huang rested for two hours in the guest room, then went to Mi Jun’s room, driving everyone else out, declaring that when he began his ritual nobody else was allowed to be present.

Overco with helplessness, Mi Xian and her parents could only leave the room.

After a mont’s thought, Qin Sisi said to Mi Xian, "Mi Xian, you’ve been worn out all day, go and rest a bit."

Mi Xian’s parents were worried about their son, but they weren’t indifferent to their daughter’s wellbeing either.

Hearing what Qin Sisi had to say, they also advised Mi Xian to rest, assuring her they would wait right there.

Mi Xian, worried about her brother, didn’t want to leave. However, she couldn’t resist the repeated persuasion of her parents and Qin Sisi, and could only return to her own room with Qin Sisi.

Mi Xian and Qin Sisi lay on the bed, without a hint of sleepiness, straining their ears to listen to the movent outside.

Qin Sisi comforted, "Mi Xian, don’t worry. Master Huang is so powerful, he’ll definitely be able to cure your brother."

Mi Xian sighed, "I hope so."

Qin Sisi blinked her eyes, saying softly, "Since you’re upset, I’ll sing you a song."

Mi Xian shot Qin Sisi a strange look, feeling a bit odd, but she couldn’t pinpoint what was strange. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Okay then, sing."

At the corners of Qin Sisi’s lips arose an almost imperceptible smile. She took a deep breath, and a beautifully soothing lody flowed from Qin Sisi’s lips.

It was like a warm breeze in March, gradually lting away the cold and loneliness of winter’s coldest nights.

It was as if a clear, transparent spring had flowed by, gradually soothing the tension and worry of a family dealing with a severe illness.

Mi Xian’s eyes gradually got blurrier. A few minutes later, her eyelids closed and she entered dreamland.

Worried that her mana wouldn’t be enough, Qin Sisi kept singing for a few more minutes before stopping. She then sat up, looked at the sleeping Mi Xian, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Nicely done!" Ye You praised from the side.

Qin Sisi blushed, curling up the corners of her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Stop making fun of ."

Ye You reassured earnestly, "I’m not joking, I an it."

Qin Sisi felt as if a ball of honey was rolling around her heart, sweet and warm.

But quickly, Qin Sisi packed up her emotions and told Ye You seriously, "Let’s go have a look."

Ye You nodded, one paw lifting to prop open the Invisible Bubble, hiding away their figures.

Under the cover of the Invisible Bubble, Qin Sisi walked out of Mi Xian’s room, crossed the living room - where Mi Xian’s parents were sitting anxiously on the sofa - and made her way to Mi Jun’s bedroom door, gently pushing it open and entering.

It was now close to midnight, the mont when Yin energy was at its peak during the day.

Yellow talisman paper marked with strange symbols had been stuck to Mi Jun’s forehead, chest, the palms of his hands and his feet - obviously Master Huang’s doing.

Master Huang took out a heart-protecting mirror, wiped it clean with his clothes, hung it at his chest, then held a ter-long peachwood stick in his hand.

Seeing Master Huang’s movents, Ye You said coldly, "It seems he knows that this matter is dangerous, and has left a way out in advance."

Qin Sisi was puzzled and looked to Ye You, asking, "What do you an?"

Ye You explained gravely, "The heart-protecting mirror provides the best protection for oneself. Even if he can’t defeat the evil spirit, under the protection of the heart-protecting mirror, the evil spirit would temporarily be unable to harm him. He would have a chance to escape."

Qin Sisi beca anxious and quickly asked, "If he escapes, what about Mi Xian’s brother?"

Ye You shook his head, saying helplessly, "A clay Buddha crossing a river has enough trouble saving himself, how can he look after others?"

"But, he was paid," Qin Sisi persistently pursued.

Ye You looked at Qin Sisi and didn’t say anything.

From the complex look in Ye You’s eyes, Qin Sisi finally understood.

For limited-capability individuals facing a force so mighty, preserving oneself is already very fortunate, where would there be the energy left to care about others’ lives?

You need to be alive to earn money, and you need to be alive to spend it!

Qin Sisi unhappily said, "If he knows that it’s dangerous, that he might fail, why did he take other people’s money, promising them that he would definitely cure them?"

Ye You looked at the sowhat indignant Qin Sisi, chuckled, stretched out his paw to caress a drooping lock of hair on her forehead and gently said, "Not every mage can be as well-behaved as my Sisi."

Qin Sisi blushed a little and said quietly, "Stop fooling around, be serious."

Ye You put away his playful eyes and said, "Alright, being serious, if Master Huang can’t handle this evil spirit today, you’ll have to take it."

Qin Sisi was taken aback, "? Am I up to it?"

"Why not?" Ye You counter-questioned, his gaze extrely firm.

Qin Sisi pouted, asked shyly, "What if I can’t beat it?"

Ye You replied gravely, "How do you know you can’t beat it if you haven’t tried?"

Qin Sisi clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said, "Well, I’ll give it a try."

The evil spirit hasn’t shown up yet. How can I be afraid now?

Even if it’s one step back, Master Huang might not be unable to defeat it.

Moreover, she still had the Divine Dog’s Fury.

Qin Sisi flicked her wrist and got the Divine Dog’s Fury in her hand, her clear eyes intently observing the movent in the room, not blinking for a second.

Midnight had arrived. Mi Jun’s body suddenly began to violently shake, as if sothing was violently jostling him.

Master Huang’s visage turned grim, he raised the peachwood stick in his hand and shouted at Mi Jun, "Hey, what kind of demon are you? Reveal yourself imdiately!"

With that, Master Huang splashed a bowl of prepared black dog blood onto Mi Jun’s body, pointed his peachwood stick at Mi Jun’s bloody body, and began to chant.
