Chapter 138 Declaration of War
Just as the two were on full alert, the elevator suddenly trembled and stopped.
"bite--"
The elevator door opened, revealing Han Guangxiu's face. "Boss Teng, Master Qin, what are you doing...?"
The two stood in the elevator, one in front and one behind, their faces alert. Qin Qinsen was in front, his left hand in a seal position. Teng Su stared straight ahead with cold eyes, his left hand on Qin Qinsen's waist, the other hand hidden behind his back, ready to strike.
"Are you guys coming out or not? If not, I'll go upstairs."
The aunt who was waiting for the elevator was in a hurry to go home to cook. She squeezed into the elevator next to Han Guangxiu, pressed the floor button, and looked at the two of them impatiently, full of disgust.
Seeing the other person's expression of "Are you leaving or not?", Qin Qinsen gestured for Han Guangxiu to come in and return to the seventh floor.
Qingzhu was chatting with Shangguan Yue, trying to comfort her nervous and fragile little heart.
"Why are you back again?"
When Tao Huali opened the door, he saw Qin Qinsen and his partner, both with grim expressions, and Han Guangxiu, who was holding a takeaway bag and looked confused.
"Have you come?" Tao Huali raised his eyebrows and said after welcoming the person in.
"Yeah." Qin Qinsen turned around and left the talisman on the door, then the windows, walls, and even the range hood pipe in the kitchen.
Tao Huali followed behind him and saw all his movements.
"To protect you from external evil spirits, the demon servant on your body has been marked, so it's fine."
After going through a series of movements, he still felt uneasy, so he called Qingzhu over and asked him to stand side by side with Tao Huali.
The same water droplet-shaped mark as on his own body flashed on the back of Qingzhu's hand. Seeing this, Tao Huali couldn't restrain his curiosity at all, "What did you do to Qingzhu?"
Ghost messengers are also ghosts. Except for harmful spells and ghosts, ordinary people cannot touch their souls at all, let alone leave marks on them.
"Just think of it as the key to open the door." Qin Qinsen didn't know how to explain.
Should he tell her that this was a secret recipe from the encyclopedia in his mind that collected the essence of forty-five generations of Daoxuan Sect inheritance? Who would believe him if he told her that?
Walking up to Shangguan Yue, Qin Qinsen said, "Extend your hand."
Her index finger quickly drew a talisman on her palm, a golden light flashed by, and then disappeared.
"What is this...?" Shangguan Yue only felt the warmth in her palms, but the warmth disappeared in a flash, as if the touch just now was an illusion.
"Protect yourself and calm your mind. You can rest well tonight. Don't be afraid."
Having said that, when Qin Qinsen left again in a leisurely manner, Shangguan Yue still felt a little nervous.
"Didn't you say you were here?"
Hearing Shangguan Yue's question, Tao Huali showed rare sympathy for the victim and handed the hot soup to her. "So what if he finds me? He can handle it. Besides, Qingzhu and I are here. How can we let you get taken away? Eat something. You're still in a state of shock. Although you have Qin Qinsen's amulet, the food you eat is the most comforting. I know this restaurant. The chef is from country Y. Usually, the number of people who can dine there is limited."
Shangguan Yue raised the corners of her mouth with difficulty. She understood what she meant, but she always felt uneasy, as if something had happened.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Just as she took the bowl of soup, she heard the sound of something hitting the glass. Shangguan Yue shuddered and didn't feel the pain even though the hot soup spilled on her hand.
Just because there was a huge ghost face pasted outside the window.
"Bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
The sound of banging on the window continued, even picking up speed and becoming stronger.
Shangguan Yue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she was so frightened by the scene before her that she didn't know what to do. Her whole body felt like it was falling into an ice cellar, and she froze on the sofa, her head turned to look out the window.
'Shhh - don't disturb the meal.'
Reaching out a hand from behind the ghost face, Qingzhu whispered in the ear of his lover, very politely, with even a hint of smile in his tone.
Just when Shangguan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, there was a noise outside the door.
Shangguan Yue turned around suddenly and heard a crisp sound as the wooden door broke into two pieces.
A reassuring voice came from the cracked hole—
"Teng Su, the door you bought is of poor quality. Change it immediately."
"...An old-fashioned security door. I think it's suitable."
"Hurry up." Qin Qinsen winked at him, telling him to move away and make the call. His hands kept moving. He pulled out the ghost that had been clinging to the door, trying to sneak in while the people inside were focused on the window. "Who are you trying to play a diversion with, little guy, huh?"
The ghost had no discernible shape, just a grayish-white speck, looking very much like a naughty child pretending to be a ghost by digging two holes in a bed sheet.
In Shangguan Yue's eyes, he is far more terrifying than a naughty boy.
"Didn't they say they cast a spell? Why are they still..."
Tao Huali sneered, "He cast a spell to prevent evil spirits from invading, that's right, I added some ingredients."
As she spoke, she rubbed her fingers together, and crystal powder slid down from her fingertips.
Under Shangguan Yue's incredulous gaze, Tao Huali raised his chin and said proudly, "Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to take the initiative."
"Bad idea." Qin Qinsen reached in through the crack in the door, opened it for himself, and glared at Tao Huali unhappily. "If I hadn't noticed your movements, were you planning to fight these ghosts in a physical fight?"
There are not many ghosts, only two.
The ferocious one outside the window was restrained by Qingzhu, and the one at the door tried to get in through the crack of the door, but was beaten by Qin Qinsen so badly that it couldn't even find where Bei was.
Fortunately, the entire floor was bought by Teng Su, otherwise the neighbors would probably call the police if they saw what Qin Qinsen and others did.
Han Guangxiu pulled down the curtains from the next door and temporarily barricaded the door. Tao Huali slapped the ghost in the face, urging him to put away his disgusting expression, which only caused the evil ghost to howl in dissatisfaction.
Pop.
Another slap.
Qin Qinsen retracted his hand, tied the two troublesome ghosts together, and affixed a yellow talisman to them. He then exchanged a paper towel for the bowl of soup in Shangguan Yue's hand and poured the entire bowl of hot soup onto the ghost's face.
Before the confused crowd could ask questions, the evil ghost who had been slapped twice spoke himself.
"...Follow Shangguan Yue. She is Luo Nanchen's true love. It is heaven's will that the two of them should be together. Bring her back to the Luo family, marry her as soon as possible, and invite everyone to a banquet. Use her peach blossom fate as a guide to attract the yin energy from all directions. The day the formation is completed will be the day when the Luo family will turn things around. Master Qin, you must keep an eye on her. Don't let your guard down for a moment... Hehe, hehe..."
The evil ghost was still grinning foolishly, but his body kept expanding and swelling, and was about to explode. Wuliangqiu sensed his master's thoughts, and flashed out, blocking everyone's view.
After the muffled sound, the two ghosts disappeared without a trace, leaving only the yellow talisman that was blown to pieces.
"W-What do you mean?"
Shangguan Yue's already pale face looked even uglier at this moment, and she looked helplessly at the person holding the golden ball.
"It means he's declaring war on me."
Looking at Shangguan Yue with an apologetic look on his face, Qin Qinsen whispered, "Use your life as a bargaining chip to fight me."
