Chapter 110 Between the Eyebrows: A dark shadow seemed to sit on the edge of the bed.

In the darkness, there was no wind outside the window, but a chill lingered beneath it, rustling past.

Su Jinmu's bangs fell haphazardly without wind, and the cold air hit his face, making him shiver slightly in his sleep. The cold was even more intense in his waist and abdomen, and his curled-up arms and legs were completely unable to resist it.

The cold wind seemed to penetrate everywhere, seeping into every vein in the body.

It's so cold.

Su Jinmu curled up even tighter under the covers, her brows furrowing slightly.

Tick-tock—

The sound of water could be heard.

In the dark room, something thicker and more viscous condensed and appeared, ethereal, sinister, cold, and malevolent.

Li Xin sat on the edge of the bed and patted the person on the bed on the shoulder.

The other person's brow furrowed even more.

Li Xin's eyes held an unreadable expression, and a chilling aura surrounded him.

During the day, the Taoist priest who brought him patted the man on the shoulder and received a smile in return.

Why didn't he smile when he took the picture?

Li Xin lowered his eyes, his pale, thin fingers resembling weathered bones, cold and piercing as they touched his shoulder.

*Slap slap*

I patted it twice more.

Still not smiling.

Li Xin's lips twitched, and his fingertips slowly moved up his shoulder, reaching the vital spot on his neck.

The powerful throbbing stimulated my skin, and the warm, almost burning body temperature swept over my soul.

This is a vibrant, passionate, and tender living person.

It smells very good.

It pleases ghosts.

He liked it very much.

The demon in the darkness curled its lips into a sinister crimson smirk, revealing its sharp, white teeth as it slowly drew closer.

He moved close to that hot, throbbing neck, hooked his chin, and gently licked it.

bite.

Take a bite.

It must be a wonderful taste to swallow a living, fragrant person into the soul of a ghost.

The ghost's eyes were red, and it clenched its teeth.

"Hmm..."

The cold air was biting, and Su Jinmu felt as if someone had pulled down her collar and poured snow down her neck in the dead of winter. She jolted awake and covered her neck tightly.

The vengeful ghost was still crouching at the young Taoist's neck when its fingertip suddenly poked at his lips.

A rich, sweet fragrance that trembles the soul.

It smells so good.

So sweet.

Li Xin squinted and sat up.

The living cannot see him or touch him. He stared at the little Taoist priest in the darkness, leaned forward, and blocked his way.

Su Jinmu was bewildered. She felt cold in the middle of the night, but when she woke up, it was as if she had left the source of the cold air and felt much better.

He sat up, and the movement from lying down to sitting up seemed to have entered a small barrier along the way.

In a small area halfway through the journey, a wave of cold air surged, only to vanish in an instant.

...Is the window drafty?

Li Xin leaned forward, and the little Taoist's rising posture was transmitted directly through his body.

Necks close, chins touching, a fleeting moment.

It tastes delicious.

The vengeful ghost licked its lips, still wanting more, its eyes gleaming with a fierce light as it stared at the young Taoist priest.

Eat him.

tasty.

I want to eat it.

The ghost's eyes were filled with a deep, intense crimson light and a fierce desire, as it slowly approached once more.

"When heaven and earth are clear, calm your mind and dispel the mud!"

A clear, crisp voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by a scorching red cinnabar talisman, held by a fair hand and pressed directly against the body.

Li Xin stared intently, and in the blink of an eye, he moved to the head of the bed, sat down next to the young Taoist priest, and raised his hand to look at his fingertips.

The tips of his bony fingers were red, as if they had been burned.

...This young Taoist priest has some skill.

Li Xin slowly raised an eyebrow.

Su Jinmu felt the coldness was strange, so she casually picked up the calming and exorcising talisman she had practiced with before.

Nowadays, science is advocated, and all superstitions and ghosts are considered feudal superstitions. However, this is a Taoist temple after all, and drawing talismans is a compulsory course. Whether it can exorcise evil spirits is another matter, but the process of drawing talismans can indeed help one to concentrate and focus.

So Su Jinmu took it out subconsciously.

It was pitch black all around, and there was no reaction whatsoever.

...That's true, it's only amazing if there's a reaction.

Su Jinmu pressed her temples, thinking to herself that she had been sleeping too hard, and reached out to touch the candlestick on the table.

A slender, fair arm passed through the ghost's chest. Li Xin looked down with interest, feeling quite strange.

He had been suppressed for over a thousand years and had only recently broken free of his seal. He figured that all those people from back then were dead, and he planned to go down the mountain and stir up some trouble.

Unexpectedly, before even descending the mountain, the young Taoist priest he encountered suited his taste perfectly.

His arm pierced through his heart, yet his soul could still feel a trace of warmth.

Soothing and soft.

From the moment he became a ghost, the chilling aura surrounding him was like an ancient, frigid mountain, freezing even his soul in pain.

How long has it been since you felt warmth?

The last time I felt warmth was when I was being suppressed.

The powerful spiritual energy was as hot as magma, so hot that half of his soul was scattered.

Li Xin licked his lips, suppressing the restlessness and saliva in his teeth.

The young Taoist priest has some skill; if we don't eat him, we can think of a way to make him see us.

It's more interesting than eating it.

The ghost's eyes were deep and dark. It slowly smiled, raised its hand, and approached the young Taoist's brow.

"sieve--"

A sudden sound of fire, a fleeting glimmer of light.

The candlestick was lit.

Su Jinmu held up the candlestick, feeling that it wasn't bright enough. The eerie and cold feeling from the dream hadn't completely faded, so she took out a few more exorcism talismans and burned them directly on the candle flame.

The flames grew larger and the temperature rose. Su Jinmu recovered and let out a soft breath.

I feel a bit better now.

Li Xin reached out his hand, trying to get close to the young Taoist's brow, but was burned by the firelight.

Confined outside of warmth, she raised an eyebrow.

The candles were ordinary, but the yellow talisman was unusual. Once lit, its spiritual power increased dramatically, and it was able to stop him.

Li Xin raised his hand, looked at his even darker and more charred fingertips, and his smile widened, full of interest.

Su Jinmu looked around and felt something was off; she had felt uncomfortable ever since she entered the temple.

It feels like I'm being watched.

Furthermore, the cold air in the room is diffused very unevenly, which does not conform to the thermal motion of molecules.

Unable to find the source of the draft in the window, and too lazy to bother with it in the middle of the night, Su Jinmu gave up for the time being.

It was a bit cold, but he only brought a thin blanket and no more.

Su Jinmu pursed her lips, thinking of looking in the wardrobe.

Li Xin raised his hand.

"Squeak."

The wardrobe was opened, and in an inconspicuous spot at the top, there was a thick quilt!

Which senior brother left this behind?

Let's leave that for now.

Su Jinmu took it down, shook it, and since it wasn't dusty in the closet, she covered it with her thin blanket before lying down.

The heavy weight brought a dense warmth, and Su Jinmu immediately felt warm. She exhaled, closed her eyes, and intended to continue sleeping.

He didn't extinguish the candle; it just kept burning.

Li Xin approached again, his pale finger bones entering the range of the firelight's heat, close to the young Taoist's face.

The firelight was soft, reflecting off the quilt without any obstruction.

Li Xin curled his lips into a smile, his cold fingertips touching his brow.

A ghostly aura permeated the air.

Su Jinmu felt a chill on her forehead, shivered inexplicably, and opened her eyes.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared before my eyes, seemingly sitting right next to the bed, inches away!
