“Clare, watch your language!” William Richardson reprimanded with a serious face.
The girl called Clare didn’t care at all. She ran to Ethan Smith’s side, looked him up and down, then muttered, “Nothing special, he looks just average, even a bit old.
“Clare, stop talking nonsense! Call him brother!” William Richardson quickly scolded.
Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears. He looked at
William and asked, “Uncle William, is this your daughter?”
William forced a bitter smile and said, “Yes, I spoiled her too much. Ethan, please don’t take it personally.”
“It’s fine.” Ethan shook his head.
Then, Ethan looked at Clare and said, “From the way you talk, it seems like you and Emily are quite close?”
“Of course! My sister Emily treats so well!” Clare proudly declared.
Ethan nodded slightly. Since she had a good relationship with Emily Taylor, he naturally would not mistreat her.
“Alright, Clare, go back to your room. I’m going to have a chat with your brother Ethan,” William waved.
After sending Clare away, William spoke in a deep voice, “Because of my work back then, Clare’s mother passed away in an accident. I’ve been feeling guilty for her all these years, which has led to her temper and stubborn personality.”
Ethan nodded. Children who grew up in single-parent families were sowhat pitiable to so extent.
“Co, let’s have dinner.” William picked up the wine glass.
After drinking two bottles of white wine, William, who had spent many years in the battle zone, had an incredibly high alcohol tolerance. He showed no signs of drunkenness other than a slightly flushed face.
After dinner, William stood up and said, “It’s getting late, Ethan. Why don’t you go and have a look at Clare’s room?” Ethan shook his head and said, “I already know what the problem is.”
“Oh?” William was surprised.
Ethan said, “Clare isn’t sick. She’s been entangled by so filthy thing, but I’m not exactly sure what.”
A frown creased William’s brow as he said solemnly, “Soone else has said that too, but I don’t believe in supernatural things. But since you ntioned it, I do have so doubts.”
Ethan laughed, “That’s normal. You’ve been in the battle zone for years, and your body is filled with righteous energy, so basically, filthy things can’t entangle you easily. But it might not be the sa case for Clare.”
With that, Ethan got up and walked towards Clare’s room.
When they reached the door, Ethan said, “Uncle William, please wait for outside.’
“Alright.” William nodded.
After entering Clare’s room, Ethan restrained his breath and closed the door.
Clare was lying on the bed playing with her phone. Seeing Ethan, she imdiately bounced up.
“What are you doing? It’s not appropriate for an old man to enter a young girl’s room, is it?” Clare rolled her eyes.
Ethan was at a loss for words and said helplessly, “You have so filthy stuff on you. Don’t you know that?”
“Pfft.” Clare gave him a big eye-roll.
“Co on, uncle, what century is this? You still believe in those old beliefs? You’re so outdated!” Clare simply didn’t believe what Ethan said.
Ethan jokingly said, “Then why do you have nightmares every night?”
“Nightmares don’t an anything. It just proves that I’m too tired and stressed lately.” Clare pretended to sigh with an air of maturity, looking quite comical.
Ethan sat down beside Clare, saying, “You really do have sothing filthy on you, and it’s terrifying.”
“Pfft, call it out, and let see! I’ll punch it to death with one fist!” Clare clenched her little fists angrily.
Ethan fell silent for a mont before saying, “Do you really want to see?” “Yeah, if you can call it out, I’ll watch, and watch closely!” Clare said earnestly.
“Alright, but don’t be scared later,” Ethan laughed.
“Pfft, as if it’s real.” Clare rolled her eyes again.
Ethan knew a little about the mysterious arts and could see at a glance that Clare was filled with dark energy.
However, he had no idea how to exorcise it.
He could only try based on his own guesses.
Then, Ethan raised his hand towards Clare’s forehead.
“What are you doing?” Clare stared at him.
Ethan said, “Helping you exorcise demons, close your eyes.”
“Pfft.” Clare gave Ethan a disdainful look but obediently closed her eyes.
Ethan could feel a dense patch of dark energy at Clare’s forehead, which was the source of it all.
The mont his palm touched her forehead, Ethan urged the qi within his body towards Clare’s forehead.
For an instant, Clare’s forehead began to move slowly.
“It… it hurts so much!” Clare’s face suddenly twisted in pain, her expression grimacing.
Ethan remained silent, continuing to urge the qi within his body.
At that mont, a trace of blood suddenly appeared on Clare’s forehead!
Then, a dark shadow erged from between her brows and rushed out!
The instant the shadow appeared, it flew towards the window, seemingly trying to escape.
Ethan snorted coldly, “Trying to flee?”
He waved his hand, and a massive blue hand instantly condensed in the air!
The large hand directly gripped the dark shadow, rendering it immobile!
The dark shadow imdiately let out a shrill cry filled with terror and a hint of threat, sending chills down one’s spine!
“Ah!!!”
Seeing this scene, Clare scread in horror!
On the other side of the door, William rushed in anxiously!
“What’s going on?!” William shouted in concern.
When he saw the dark shadow being held by Ethan’s large hand, his face changed dramatically!
“What… what is this?” William’s face paled as he asked.
Ethan said solemnly, “I don’t know exactly what it is, but the dark energy on it… it’s very dense.”
The temperature in the entire room dropped a few degrees!
Seeing Clare’s frightened and submissive expression, Ethan was no longer in the mood to joke with her.
Just as he was about to crush the large hand, a sudden flash of insight crossed his mind!
Then, the pores of Ethan’s body quickly opened, and he absorbed the dark energy directly into his body!
“What… what’s going on?” Even Ethan was stunned!
This was clearly dark energy, contrary to the qi that Ethan cultivated. How could he possibly absorb it?
Most importantly, after absorbing the dark energy, Ethan could feel a noticeable increase in his strength!
“Could it be… that I can cultivate both qi and dark energy at the sa ti?” Ethan suddenly thought of sothing and was overjoyed!
If it were true, cultivation might beco much easier for Ethan!
After the dark energy was absorbed by Ethan, two tiny black bugs erged from it.
“Parasites?” Ethan’s eyebrows furrowed at once.
“Parasites from the southwest.” Ethan reached out, directly grabbing the two bugs in his hand.
Subsequently, he handed the parasites to Clare..
