Chapter 32: The Breath Eater

Facing the old man’s doubts, Zhang Ming just smiled. Just as he was about to speak, the girl next to him said to the old man:

“Grandpa, don’t be fooled by him. You are like this now, anyone can see that you are in a bad mental state. Why do you need him to tell you?”

Hearing this, the old man thought so, so he looked at Zhang Ming and said: “Young man, what else can you see?”

Zhang Ming smiled and said: “I can see that you will not live long!”

“Hey, kid, what are you talking about?” The girl was immediately angry, staring at Zhang Ming with her beautiful eyes and said:

“If you dare to talk nonsense like this again, I will never forgive you!”

Zhang Ming looked at the angry girl, then looked at the surprised old man, and said:

"It seems that they don't know, but it's not nonsense, grandpa, you know it in your heart!"

Hearing this, the old man no longer dared to underestimate Zhang Ming and said, "Young man, are you... a doctor?"

"Me?" Zhang Ming said, "Do you think I look like a doctor? I'm just a student."

The old man looked Zhang Ming up and down, and then said, "Then... how do you know that I won't live long?"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Do you believe what he said?" The girl said angrily.

The old man looked at Zhang Ming, then looked at his granddaughter, and said,

"He is right. The doctor also told me that I may... not live for more than a week!"

"What? How... how is this possible?" The girl's face was full of disbelief.

At this time, Zhang Ming clearly saw the air-eating ghost on the old man, revealing a strange and sinister smile.

At the same time, it turned its mung bean-sized green eyes to look at the girl, and vaguely seemed to reveal greed.

It looked like it was going to suck the old man's yang energy dry and then suck the girl.

This air-eating ghost was really cruel, and it caught a family to cause trouble.

The old man sighed and said to the girl: "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would worry. That's why I handed over the group's affairs to your father and came here to recuperate."

"How could this happen?" The girl said with tears in the corners of her eyes.

The old man felt sorry for the girl and said, "Girl, don't be sad. Grandpa knows his physical condition very well."

Hearing this, the girl burst into tears.

Zhang Ming coughed and said, "Hey, do you have to make it so life-and-death? Since I can see the problem, I can solve it, okay?"

"What did you say?" The girl looked at Zhang Ming and said, "Do you have a way to save my grandpa?"

Zhang Ming raised his head and chest and said, "I am so confident. Is there a problem?"

"Young man, the best hospital is helpless with my disease and calls it a stubborn disease. Can you do anything?" The old man couldn't believe it.

Zhang Ming smiled and said, "Everything is a routine... Oh no, it's all fate! You are lucky, I can really solve your situation!"

Hearing this, the old man showed joy on his face, and the girl looked at Zhang Ming eagerly.

Of course, the air-eating ghost on the old man's back seemed to understand Zhang Ming's words, and stared at Zhang Ming with its green eyes as big as mung beans.

It looked like it was threatening Zhang Ming!

However, Zhang Ming was not afraid of it at all. He also looked at the air-eating ghost and said, "What are you looking at? I will take care of you sooner or later!"

The old man and the girl were stunned by this, and they looked at Zhang Ming in confusion.

Zhang Ming explained: "I'm not talking about you!"

"Who else can it be?" The girl said dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Ming smiled and said to the old man, "Grandpa, although what I am going to say next may be unbelievable, it is the truth."

"Okay, go ahead!" The old man looked at Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming nodded and said seriously, "In fact, all the reasons for your current situation are because of the thing behind you!"

"Behind?" The old man and the girl turned around. There was nothing behind them?

"You can't see it, but right now, it is lying on your back. You have been listless these days because it is on you and sucking your energy!"

Hearing this, the girl came to the old man and said, "Grandpa, look, I said he was fooling you!"

The old man couldn't believe what Zhang Ming said.

Zhang Ming knew the result long ago, so he said, "The reason why you don't want to go out during the day is because the thing behind you cannot see the light, so it makes you very uncomfortable, and you naturally cannot move."

Although the old man didn't believe it, he still asked, "Then, what should I do?"

"If you believe me, starting from tomorrow, no matter how painful and uncomfortable you are, you have to get up and bask in the sun more during the day. The thing on your body is most afraid of the sun, maybe it will leave you by itself!" Zhang Ming said.

The old man heard it and said, "Is it that simple?"

Zhang Ming nodded. This kind of thing is simple, because as long as they are afraid, they will leave by themselves!

It is difficult to say. Why? Because they can only leave by themselves, and you can't use Taoist magic to force it.

Because it has already attached to the old man.

For example, this air-eating ghost is like a blood-sucking louse. It bites your flesh. If you grab it and try to pull it off, it won't let go, and in the end, it will only pull off the flesh it bites.

But if you spray some medicine there, it will let go and leave.

So you can't use force to deal with air-eating ghosts!

"Okay, then I will bask in the sun for a day tomorrow no matter what. If it helps, I will definitely thank you." The old man said.

Zhang Ming heard this and said, "I may not be here for the next two days. I will come back in two days. If your condition still doesn't improve in two days, come to the park to find me at night and I will do it myself."

"Okay, no matter what, young man, I will remember your kindness!" said the old man.

Zhang Ming smiled, then turned around and left the park and went home.

"Grandpa, do you really believe him?" the girl asked.

The old man said, "At least he is right about one thing. I won't live for more than a week, so I have to give it a try. Also, contact your dad and check the background of this guy."

After leaving the park, Zhang Ming went home and rested.

As soon as he fell asleep, his soul arrived at Hong You's room in the Ghost Emperor's Hall in the underworld.

To be honest, the longer he was in contact with Hong You, Zhang Ming found that he had feelings for her.

This feeling was as if it was really destined in the previous life. Even at this moment, Zhang Ming no longer minded that Hong You was a ghost.

Hong You looked at Zhang Ming with a smile and said, "Husband, you..."

"Don't call me husband, it's so old-fashioned, you can call me...husband!" Zhang Ming said.

"Okay, husband!" Hong You blinked her red eyelashes and said, "There is something I want to tell you."

"What is it?" Zhang Ming asked.

Hong You said: "In a year, the underworld will have a thousand-year-long canonization of the Ghost Emperor. You have the soul of the Ghost Emperor in your previous life, so you are qualified to participate, but... you must have a certain level of strength to compete with other competitors!"

"Canonization of the Ghost Emperor?" Zhang Ming said in surprise: "Then you must have the strength of a Ghost Emperor, right?"

"No, if you have the strength of a Ghost Emperor, why would you need to be canonized?" Hong You said:

"But you must be stronger than all the competitors."

"Do I have to participate in this canonization?" Zhang Ming didn't understand why Hong You wanted to participate himself.

Hong You looked at Zhang Ming seriously and said, "You must participate. There are some things you don't know now, but when you know, you will definitely fight for it.

Because a thousand years ago, you were willing to sacrifice your soul for this."
