"You dare ruin my plans? You'd better die!"

As soon as Parker regained his balance, he charged angrily toward Cao Kun.

Cao Kun looked disdainful: "You?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Parker flash by, change direction, and fly out of the house.

Cao Kun was taken aback. This guy had actually feigned anger, but secretly he was trying to escape.

When did ghosts become so shameless?

Do you think you can escape?

Cao Kun took a step forward, and a burst of earthly evil energy rose up, striking Parker.

"ah!"

He let out a scream, and his body flew into the air, becoming much more transparent.

Cao Kun took a step forward and appeared beside Parker. With a wave of his Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Parker was involuntarily thrown into it, causing the runes to light up once again.

"Ding! Killed a D-rank wandering spirit, gained some experience points."

The system notification sounded again.

This Parker is actually a D-rank, albeit only at the initial stage.

Cao Kun recalled that he had to go to great lengths to deal with D-level monsters back then.

Now, however, it's a direct and instant kill.

Seeing that Parker had been taken away by Cao Kun, Lana finally realized what was happening.

She walked quickly to Josh's body, looked him over, and asked with a bewildered expression, "Master Cao Kun, what exactly happened?"

Cao Kun looked into her eyes: "You already know the answer, you just don't want to believe it."

Lana's body trembled, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that the one before wasn't my husband, Josh?"

Cao Kun: "That's right, that's Parker, the same old perverted man from earlier."

Now that he has left your husband's body, your husband is just a body, just like your child Dalton.

Their souls need to be retrieved before they can awaken again.

"Before that..."

Lana was about to say something, but before she could finish, she felt nauseous and started dry heaving.

Cao Kun roughly guessed what it was about.

After all, it's hard for an older man not to be tempted when he suddenly encounters a beautiful young woman.

Although Parker is psychologically abnormal, he is not physically abnormal.

It took Lana a while to stop feeling nauseous.

If it weren't for worrying about the child, and not having eaten much lately, there would be nothing left to vomit, and the ground would be extremely disgusting now.

She wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and pleaded, "Master Cao Kun, please save my husband and child."

"Just wait and see," Cao Kun said calmly.

Lana didn't know what to wait for, and she didn't dare to ask. She could only move her husband's body to the sofa and lie down, and then wait silently.

Around 4 p.m., her youngest son was brought back by the school bus. He looked on with curiosity when he saw his father on the sofa, his mother beside him, and the unfamiliar Cao Kun.

"Mom, I'm home." He called out when his mother ignored him.

"Foster, you're back." Lana noticed him then and quickly stood up, asking, "Are you hungry?"

Foster shook his head, looked at his father on the sofa, and asked, "Is Dad unconscious again?"

Lana sighed inwardly, forcing a smile: "Don't worry about it, go have fun. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Foster nodded in agreement and even greeted Cao Kun politely, "Hello, sir."

Cao Kun still has a good impression of polite and sensible children.

He smiled and said, "Hello, Foster."

Cao Kun ate dinner at Lana's house.

Her cooking skills are quite good; she must have received formal cooking training.

This is not surprising; many wives of wealthy families receive training in this area.

Even if you don't cook it yourself, it still represents a certain level of sophistication.

During dinner, Foster would always steal glances at Cao Kun, trying to guess his identity.

While Lana was washing the dishes, Foster approached Cao Kun and whispered, "Excuse me, are you an exorcist?"

Cao Kun asked with a smile, "Why do you think that?"

Foster said seriously, “My father and brother are both in a coma, and you, a stranger, have appeared in our house, just like Elise did last time.”

The house feels different today; it's much warmer and more comfortable.

Cao Kun said, "That's right, I am an exorcist."

Foster: "I feel you're better than Elise. Can you save my father and brother?"

Cao Kun: "Where do you get the idea that I'm better than Elise?"

Foster: "Because you're not nervous at all."

Cao Kun patted Foster's head: "It's impolite to talk about a dead person."

Foster quickly looked up at the ceiling and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Elise."

After Lana finished washing the dishes, Cao Kun asked Lana to bring Dalton into the living room as well.

Then, the whole family gathered in the living room.

Fortunately, babies sleep a lot. My little girl slept well after feeding and didn't cry much when she woke up.

After playing for a while, he went back to sleep.

Time passed slowly, but Lana grew increasingly anxious.

She kept checking the time.

When it was 9 o'clock, Lana couldn't help but say, "Master Cao Kun, in another hour, it will be exactly seven days."

Cao Kun said calmly, "There's no use in being anxious. Let's keep waiting."

Dalton's soul was locked in another realm by that red-faced demon, and attempts to summon his soul were completely ineffective.

Josh's soul, however, can be summoned back at any time.

But bringing him back now wouldn't help, so it's better to let him remain unconscious.

Time continued to pass, and the seven-day mark since Dalton's soul left his body drew ever closer.

With only a few minutes left, Lana's youngest son, Foster, suddenly turned pale with fright.

He saw a red-faced monster staring greedily at his brother's body next to the sofa where his brother was lying.

This red-faced monster had messy hair, hands like spider limbs, a completely black body, and evil eyes, giving off an incredibly terrifying feeling.

Just as Foster was about to cry out in surprise, he suddenly saw another person standing in front of him.

Cao Kun stood in front of him, put his index finger to his lips, and gestured for him to be quiet: "Shh..."

Foster didn't know why, but seeing Cao Kun's appearance and his calm eyes, he felt less afraid.

He swallowed the scream that was about to come out, nodded slightly to Cao Kun, and sat up straight again, as if he hadn't seen the red-faced monster.

At this moment, Cao Kun stepped forward and shouted, "Formation ready!"

Instantly, a powerful force sealed the house off.

Compared to the previous Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Formation that Cao Kun used to seal the power of dreams, this sealing formation is not as strong.

But that's enough to prevent the red-faced monster from escaping.

The sudden turn of events caught Delana off guard.

Before she could say anything, a red-faced monster roared and pounced on Cao Kun.

While its body was still in mid-air, Cao Kun felt a force trying to invade his body.

After sensing the power briefly, Cao Kun did not stop it and allowed it to enter his body.

This force doesn't directly destroy people, but rather makes their movements extremely slow, like a slowing-down buff in a game.

Sensing that his power had invaded Cao Kun's body, the red-faced monster grinned, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.

Its body lunged forward suddenly, its hands plunging straight into Cao Kun's heart.
