Chapter 22: The dog-skin plaster can’t be thrown off

When Jiang Hongyi entered the room, he saw her blinking her eyes and sitting obediently on the bed with an innocent look on her face waiting for him to come back. He wanted to touch her head again.

As he walked towards the bed, he clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress the urge to touch his head.

"This porridge is fresh out of the pot. Wait for it to cool down before drinking it."

He opened the lid of the stainless steel lunch box and placed the entire lunch box near the window, waiting for it to cool down physically.

Qi Xu had no time to care about him at this moment, because the little baby spirit was sniffing here and there on her shoulders, rubbing against them left and right, just like a dog-skin plaster.

The breath floated left and right around her nose, tickling it so much that she couldn't help but sneeze.

The airflow from the sneeze blew the little baby spirit stuck to her face far away. Seeing the little baby spirit getting farther away from her, she rubbed her nose and breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, the next second the little baby spirit thought Qi Xu was playing with itself, so it flew back, spread its two chubby arms and put them on her face, hung its two chubby legs around her neck, and even started shaking its butt happily.

Qi Xu was speechless. She swore that she would save the little baby's soul as soon as possible when she had the chance.

"You caught a cold? I'll close the window."

"No, my nose just itches a little."

While speaking, Qi Xu pretended to scratch his temples, took down the happy little baby spirit lying on his face and placed it on his shoulder.

Although Jiang Hongyi thought her actions were a bit strange, he didn't think much about it and directly handed her the porridge that was drying by the window.

In order to prevent him from noticing anything, Qi Xu endured the little baby spirit flirting with her face. She quickly took a few bites, then pretended to lift her hair and put the little baby spirit back on her shoulder. She repeated this several times, which exhausted all her patience.

After finally eating until she was about 70% full, she couldn't wait to put down the stainless steel lunch box and pretended to be a little dizzy.

"Jiang Hongyi, I feel a little sleepy."

Jiang Hongyi could see her poor acting skills, but he had no intention of exposing her. He asked the doctor to check her physical condition again. After making sure that all her functions were up to standard, he helped her back to the guest room.

"You go to sleep first. The ship will dock around five or six in the morning and I'll knock on the door to remind you."

Because Qi Xu's attention was completely focused on the distracting little baby spirit, he didn't notice the meaningful look in his eyes after he finished speaking.

When she heard the door closing as she wished, her next action was to grab the little baby spirit lying on top of her head and place it right in front of her.

She crossed her legs, formed seals and chanted the mantra in one go. A burst of white light enveloped the body of the little baby spirit, making her think that the little ghost would be liberated in the next second.

The result was to his amazement. The white light stayed for several seconds. The little ghost was a little panicked and at a loss at first, but when he felt that the white light did not cause any pain, he rolled around in the light.

Qi Xu's mind froze for several seconds. He looked down at his hands, confirming that the mantra for salvation was correct. Unable to believe it, he formed seals and chanted the mantra again... and again...

However, the little baby spirit showed no sign of disappearing. Instead, it liked the feeling of being enveloped by the white light and lay on its back, waiting for her to continue chanting the spell.

…

Qi Xu looked at the vivid little baby spirit in front of him and gave up completely. He collapsed on the bed in a big letter shape and started to die.

Oh heaven! Oh earth! What is the origin of this little baby spirit that cannot be liberated?

She looked at the little baby spirit rolling around in the air in front of her with despair. It was over. There was no way to get rid of this little dog skin plaster...

"Hey, kid, let me make a deal with you."

Qi Xu's words made the little baby spirit stop rolling around, and it tilted its little head and waited for her to continue speaking.

"Little ghost, do you want to stay with me?"

With the little baby spirit nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, she began to talk nonsense in a serious manner. No, it was a serious guidance, that's right.

"Since you want to stay by my side, you must be obedient. I hope you will lie on top of my head and don't move when I take action."

"Don't worry, kid, as long as you're obedient, I won't treat you unfairly. Every night before going to bed, I'll let you absorb energy in the white light you like."

"How about it?"

After Qi Xu finished the step-by-step guidance, she waited for the feedback from the little baby spirit. She was well aware of her ability to deceive, no, her guided conversation was first-class.

The little baby spirit thought about it for a moment and felt that it seemed not bad. He could eat and drink enough and he didn’t have to worry about the source of energy for growth. Why not?

Once again, he nodded like a chick pecking at rice and danced to express his satisfaction.

Qi Xu nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand and touched the little baby spirit's head in the air.

The little baby spirit is now a translucent soul body and is not yet accessible to humans.

Qi Xu stared at the little baby spirit and thought for a while before coming up with an idea. Since the little baby spirit could not be liberated, she might be able to try to make it condense into a physical entity during the period before the little ghost was liberated.

This was a good plan. After she made up her mind, the unhappiness in her heart completely dissipated. She suddenly felt sleepy and didn't care where the little ghost was in the room. She pulled the quilt, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in seconds.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."

She was half asleep when she heard someone knocking on the door. It took her several seconds to realize that the ship must have docked.

"I'm awake, you can come in."

Qi Xu raised his hand, rubbed the corners of his sleepy eyes and said something vaguely.

Then the door of the guest room was pushed open, and Jiang Hongyi and Qi Hong walked in neatly dressed and carrying luggage.

She realized that the time to get off the boat seemed limited, so she quickly got up and went to wash up. It took about ten minutes to finish packing.

"I'm fine. Let's get off the boat so as not to delay the staff from cleaning up."

The three of them got off the boat in a hurry.

But it was a bit unlucky that he met Chen Lin as soon as he got off the boat. She looked haggard, which was completely different from the first time Qi Xu met her.

Now her eyebrows are drooping and she looks very dejected. Her brows are still furrowed like a river, and one corner of her mouth is turned down sharply. Her appearance has simply fallen into hell.

"Captain Jiang, could you please take me back to the family compound?"

"My wallet was accidentally stolen on the boat, and now I'm penniless..."

Qi Xu raised his head and took a closer look at her face. She looked unlucky. To exaggerate a little, she was so unlucky that she would even choke when drinking water.

"Let's take the bus back. I'll give you a bus ticket."

Jiang Hongyi once again indirectly rejected Chen Lin's request for help.

This performance won Qi Xu's heart. Jiang Hongyi was indeed not a typical central air conditioner. That was good. She was very satisfied. In the future, that is, after living in the family compound, she would most likely not experience the possibility of another woman seducing Jiang Hongyi away.

Thinking of this, her mind slammed on the brakes. Something was wrong, something was very wrong. Why would she even think this way? This shouldn't be the case...

Ahem, she said she really didn't care. Jiang Hongyi is a man who still has the right to like other women, and that's right.

Qi Xu nodded while forcing himself to be pua.

"But, Captain Jiang, I always took a car when I went out before. I don't know which bus to take from the dock to the family compound."
