Chapter 259 If you hold me back, I will definitely not jump off the building
When Huo Qinghuang returned to her residence, the moon was already high in the sky. She walked slowly under the trees in the community, watching the mottled moonlight shine through the gaps between the branches and leaves and fall to the ground, like pieces of broken silver foil.
The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, ruffling the ends of her hair.
Huo Qinghuang narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling the tranquility of the moment.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
She suddenly paused, frowned slightly, and looked towards a big tree not far away.
There, stood a black shadow with his head down. His face could not be seen clearly, but from his figure, it was clear that he was a man.
Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly and glanced at the figure with a hint of annoyance.
Just as I was about to ignore it and continue walking, the shadow suddenly said, "You can see me."
The tone was extremely affirmative.
Huo Qinghuang ignored him and continued walking forward.
However, the shadow followed him like a shadow, roaring: "You can see me!"
"Since you could see me and knew I was going to die, why didn't you save me?"
"If you had held me back, I definitely wouldn't have jumped off the building. It's all your fault!"
"Give me back my life!"
The black shadow became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and finally his entire body was filled with violent rage, and black mist filled the air, as he roared and pounced towards Huo Qinghuang.
Huo Qinghuang didn't even turn his head, as if he didn't notice anything unusual behind him.
The black shadow was slightly surprised, but soon grinned and continued to pounce on Huo Qinghuang with fangs and claws.
He could feel that there was something in this little girl that he coveted. As long as he ate her, he could stay in this world forever without going to hell to suffer.
Who told this little girl to watch someone in need without helping? She owes him this!
Eat her!
Eat her and you will be free!
The black shadow licked his lips, and a sinister sneer of success appeared at the corner of his cracked mouth, looking extremely weird.
“Bang!”
Just as the black shadow was fantasizing greedily and was only one step away from Huo Qinghuang, a white and tender fist suddenly swung in the opposite direction without warning, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind and hitting the black shadow's head heavily.
The force of this punch was so great that it directly shattered the black shadow's soul and body, and it was about to turn into ashes.
"You, why are you..."
The black shadow's face was filled with horror, his voice trembled, and the greed and ferocity in his eyes were instantly replaced by fear.
He originally thought that Huo Qinghuang was defenseless and a soft persimmon that he could bully at will, but he didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl had such powerful strength.
Huo Qinghuang turned around slowly, his eyes as cold as ice, as if he was looking at an insignificant ant.
"You think you can plot against me?"
Her voice was low and intimidating, echoing in the silent night.
The black shadow attached itself to the tree trunk, and the black fog around him began to thin. He struggled to escape, but found that his soul was rapidly dissipating, and a gust of wind could blow him out.
“Mercy…mercy! Save me, please save me!”
He begged for mercy in horror, his voice full of despair.
Huo Qinghuang walked closer step by step, each step was steady and powerful, as if he was stepping on the heart of the black shadow.
"People who commit suicide are extremely stupid. You don't want to go to the underworld to atone for your sins, but you do evil here and try to harm me. Well, there is no afterlife for a fool like you. Today, I will make your soul fly away so that you won't continue to harm others."
After saying that, she casually swung her hand, and a ghost-exorcising talisman flew out instantly and hit the black shadow.
"No! Don't!"
The black shadow let out a shrill scream, and in the light of the runes, its body gradually became transparent, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
After dealing with the black shadow, Huo Qinghuang clapped his hands, turned around and continued walking towards his residence.
I had just stepped out of the elevator and before the door opened, Aunt Liu came out from next door to greet me.
"Where have you been, Miss? Why are you back so late? Come here, I left some food for you, eat it while it's hot."
As she said that, she came up to help Huo Qinghuang with her bag.
"I'll get it myself."
Huo Qinghuang dodged her hand with a slight movement, then turned around and entered the next room.
Huo Jiayue hadn't slept yet. She was lying on the sofa, scrolling through her phone.
Seeing Huo Qinghuang coming back, she immediately sat up and asked with a smile: "Sister, did you start a live broadcast yesterday? Are you going to do it again today? I want to watch it."
Huo Qinghuang looked up at the time and shook her head: "It's a bit late today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
I have just gained a lot of merit, and my sea of consciousness has not had time to sort it out. I need to digest it first.
Moreover, I have to send amulets to my fans tomorrow. I’m out of stock in my bag and have to draw a few more overnight. I don’t have time to do a live broadcast.
"Oh, okay then. Be sure to call me when you start the live broadcast tomorrow. I can help you."
Hearing this, Huo Jiayue pouted in disappointment, but soon volunteered to speak.
She has seen her sister's Kuaiyin account, which has over 300,000 fans. These are all active fans. Once the live broadcast starts, the live broadcast room will definitely be very lively.
Moreover, she also wanted to see how her sister told people's fortunes. It was said that her method was very amazing and could directly refresh fans' worldview.
Huo Qinghuang nodded without comment, his eyes swept across the alchemy furnace in the study, and frowned, "Why don't you make alchemy anymore? Can playing with your phone help you improve your academic performance or improve your alchemy skills?"
The most important thing is, what will she eat if she doesn’t make pills?
These words were just like what countless parents said to their children, full of intimidation. Huo Jiayue stood up straight immediately, just like a child being taught.
"No, there are no more herbs."
She hesitated for a long time before taking out a porcelain bottle from her pocket and shyly handed it to Huo Qinghuang.
"This is the Pei Yuan Dan I made. How about you try it and see if it works?"
“…”
Are they treating her as a drug tester?
Huo Qinghuang took the porcelain bottle speechlessly and opened it casually. A faint medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air.
She frowned slightly and moved closer to the mouth of the bottle to observe carefully. She saw a few round pills lying in the bottle. They were dull in color and had some tiny cracks on the surface. It was obvious that the pills were not successfully refined.
"Sister, how is it?"
Huo Jiayue looked at her expectantly, nervousness and curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Huo Qinghuang shook the porcelain bottle gently. "The temperature of this pill is not controlled well, and the pill is not condensed enough. It can barely be considered an entry-level inferior product."
Huo Jiayue's shoulders slumped instantly, his face full of disappointment.
"I knew it wouldn't be that easy. I followed the steps you drew, but it's still a long way off."
Huo Qinghuang played with the porcelain bottle in his hand and taught seriously: "Alchemy is not just about following the steps, it also requires precise control of the temperature, and sufficient patience and concentration.
Have you been unable to calm down during this period of time? "
Huo Jiayue scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I have a lot of things to do since school started recently, and I really haven't been able to focus on refining the elixir."
Huo Qinghuang looked at her calmly, and said with deep meaning: "Although learning can give you more possibilities, alchemy is the main direction of your future development.
If you want to have a certain say in the Huo family in the future, you have to pay more attention to this."
Huo Jiayue's heart was slightly shaken.
These words hit her heart directly.
