☆, Chapter 38 Feeling teased
Chapter 38
Rongqing's ears turned red all of a sudden, and she raised her head and looked at Yu Jiuyin without saying a word.
But Yu Jiuyin wasn't fooling around. The wounds inflicted by the evil spirits on the Ghost Dao Celestial Master were difficult to heal. The evil spirits were greedy and would deposit their ghostly energy into the wounds in order to continue sucking Yu Jiuyin's blood.
This was also why, after saving Xu Wang's parents last time, Yu Jiuyin had been resting for a while due to excessive blood loss. But now it was different; Rongqing was here. Rongqing's ghostly energy naturally intimidated those greedy evil spirits. His aura could help Yu Jiuyin dispel the excess ghostly energy, and his wounds would heal faster.
Moreover, in Yu Jiuyin's opinion, since the blood had already been shed, it shouldn't be wasted. His blood would be good for Rongqing.
"Come!" Yu Jiuyin's voice still carried the distinct timbre of someone controlling a demon. Rongqing couldn't refuse. He raised his head meekly, his tongue touching Yu Jiuyin's wound.
Yu Jiuyin smiled and stroked his hair, "Good boy."
However, for Mu Xiaoxiao and Sheng Chun who were unaware of the truth, this scene was a bit too terrifying.
Are you guys gonna perform a forbidden love scene? I know you two have a good relationship, but don't do it here.
However, before they could even utter a sigh, Rong Qing's cold look choked them all back.
When evil spirits are eating, the most taboo thing is that other people covet it, even if it is unintentional.
After a while, Yu Jiuyin's wound finally stopped bleeding. Rongqing also finally regained consciousness.
He looked at Yu Jiuyin, completely puzzled. "You clearly don't have to use your own blood."
The Ghost Gate Formation does require blood for guidance, but it does not require the Ghost Dao Master's own blood, the same goes for animals.
"Those didn't work as well as my own."
"So how many evil spirits have you raised?" Rong Qing still remembered the ghostly aura he had felt from Yu Jiuyin when he had licked his wound. He even felt the presence of two strong beings.
"Jealous"
Rong Qing frowned, "Be careful, or you'll get hurt."
Yu Jiuyin didn't answer, just smiled. But this time, there was nothing in his eyes. Rongqing suddenly had a feeling that Yu Jiuyin might not have much hope for life. But this feeling was only a moment, and then it disappeared quietly. Rongqing even thought that Yu Jiuyin's expression just now was just an illusion.
"Let's go." Yu Jiuyin simply bandaged the wound on his wrist with gauze, then turned around and greeted Mu Xiaoxiao and Sheng Chun who were almost petrified beside him.
"Don't we have to wait seven days?" Mu Xiaoxiao was still worried about the mastermind behind the death game.
"There's no need for that." Yu Jiuyin shook his head. "The situation in Juehu Village has been broken. That person is no fool. He must understand that the game is over."
"But after we go back," Sheng Chun still has concerns.
Yu Jiuyin sighed, "It's okay. Rongrong and I can't hide our identities anymore. You and Mu Xiaoxiao will stay with me this time. When everything is over, you can go home."
"But if your identity is exposed, will he still continue to look for you?"
"Why not?" Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing looked at each other and saw the same judgment in each other's eyes.
Several Celestial Masters had already died in the Metaphysics Association, and the number of missing had reached over a dozen. Based on this, Yu Jiuyin was certain that once his and Rong Qing's identities were exposed, it would only arouse that person's greater interest, and he might even directly obtain a ticket to the so-called advanced game.
As expected, this time it was Rongqing's phone that rang, and the other party was as straight to the point as ever.
"The Ghost Dao Heavenly Master and the Young Master of the Rong Family really made a mistake this time."
"I thought you would welcome us very much." Rong Qing replied coldly.
"Welcome, how could I not welcome you, hahahaha. I'm not afraid of you catching me, but I'm afraid you won't dare to come. The new game will begin soon. Rong Shao's legs are not in good condition, and I'm afraid my little cutie will take your life."
Yu Jiuyin snatched the phone and said, "Don't bully my Rongrong because she's timid. You can talk to me in detail."
Yu Jiuyin emphasized the word "carefully," his tone changing slightly. Mu Xiaoxiao and Sheng Chun, standing nearby, looked momentarily bewildered. If Rongqing hadn't patted them twice, they might have seriously discussed the matter with Yu Jiuyin.
The way they looked at Yu Jiuyin suddenly changed. As for the person on the other end of the phone, after a brief silence, he burst into an extremely happy voice.
"Interesting, there are still celestial masters who can perform sorcery these days. Hahahahaha, interesting, very interesting."
"Then am I qualified to enter your advanced game?"
"Yes, absolutely. I like masters like you. There's a new game to prepare for. Someone will pick you up on time in a month."
"See you later." Yu Jiuyin listened to the phone being hung up and then frowned.
"He is indeed a half-baked one." Yu Jiuyin sneered.
"But even if he's just a half-baked one, he still caused us to lose so many people." Rong Qing was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Yu Jiuyin, "Do you know any witchcraft?"
Rongqing felt that what Yu Jiuyin had just used was not a soul-stealing technique, but rather a talent that only monsters in legends had.
Yu Jiuyin tilted his head to look at Rongqing, "Guess..."
His beautiful features suddenly looked unreal, like a fox demon transformed into a spirit. Rong Qing was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in silence.
Ten minutes later, Rongqing's people finally arrived at Juehu Village and came to take them back.
Unlike when he came here, Yu Jiuyin fell asleep almost as soon as he got in the car. His head rested on Rongqing's legs, and his arms were still tightly around Rongqing's waist.
The "young master" rarely saw Rongqing so close to others, and was a little worried about Yu Jiuyin. However, Rongqing did not feel uncomfortable at all.
"Go and get the blanket." Rongqing said softly, then took the blanket and carefully covered Yu Jiuyin with it.
After completely relaxing, Rong Qing realized that Yu Jiuyin's face wasn't looking good. His pale appearance made him look particularly fragile. Rong Qing took a deep breath and felt a little distressed.
But even so, Rongqing still didn't understand why Yu Jiuyin would use such an extreme method to save the soul.
Although the ghost way is not as good as the orthodox Taoism in saving souls, there are still many ways to save souls, not just blood.
Moreover, the past few days of interaction had been enough for Rongqing to get a good feel for Yu Jiuyin. Rongqing discovered that Yu Jiuyin had learned a wide range of techniques, including Taoism, sorcery, and exorcism, and was also adept at making puppets. Rongqing suspected that Yu Jiuyin might even be proficient in Nightmare Suppression and Witchcraft.
So why do people like this habitually use such extreme methods?
As the car jolted, Yu Jiuyin fell asleep, his grip loosening slightly around Rongqing. Rongqing gently brought Yu Jiuyin's hand to his side, lifted his sleeve, and took a peek. The deep and shallow scars on Yu Jiuyin's right wrist were particularly striking. It was clear that this was more than the first or second time he'd used bloodletting to invigorate his spirit.
Rong Qing couldn't figure out why, but Rong Qing felt that even if he asked Yu Jiuyin, Yu Jiuyin wouldn't tell him. In that case, he would wait until he wanted to speak.
Sighing, Rongqing whispered a few words to the secretary in the front seat, asking them to make some preparations at home. Although Yu Jiuyin didn't suffer too much this time, Rongqing still wanted to give him some more nourishment.
However, the matter on Rongqing Yu Jiuyin's end was resolved, but the Tianshi Forum exploded.
The reason was simple: Juehu Village had been a long-standing mission for the Metaphysics Association. Although Rongqing and Yu Jiuyin hadn't taken on the Juehu Village mission, they had indirectly completed the mission by breaking the deadlock.
Every A-level mission in the Metaphysics Association was considered a daunting task, yet Yu Jiuyin managed to complete it with ease.
When the system issued a notice to the entire association, saying that the "Mission Village Mission Has Been Solved", almost all the Heavenly Masters who saw it opened their mouths in disbelief.
In their minds, Yu Jiuyin was just a wild Taoist priest from the mountains, with some good business skills and a bit of cleverness. But now, the events in Juehu Village have made them more aware of Yu Jiuyin's abilities.
"I've heard of Juehu Village. There aren't just one or two vengeful spirits in there, there are probably hundreds or even thousands. How could they all be sent to paradise overnight? How did they do that?"
"In my early twenties, I was still an apprentice with my elders. This Yu Jiuyin is really amazing."
"It's very powerful, but the eldest son of the Rong family should also have made an important contribution. After all, only with him can those evil spirits be shocked. Otherwise, Yu Jiuyin, a ghost master, would have been devoured before he could even set up the formation."
"I don't think so. I've been to his haunted house, and there are three child ghosts who are almost immortals willing to serve him. What level of cultivation do you think the evil spirits he raises himself will have?"
After this reply, the entire thread fell silent for a moment. Then, the Metaphysics Association's second announcement only made the celestial masters who were browsing the forum even more excited.
Announcement: "According to the rules of the Metaphysics Association, Yu Jiuyin was the last Heavenly Master to see Luo Qiu. Luo Qiu did not leave a will, so all of Luo Qiu's inheritance belongs to Yu Jiuyin."
So the last person to see Luo Qiu was Yu Jiuyin. Someone sorted out the timeline and couldn't help but sigh, "I really want to know why Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing went to Juehu Village. Are they doing that mission?"
"It should be. I remember Young Master Rong is Luo Qiu's good friend."
"Oh my god, I feel like that death game is going to be over for good."
“No, it will definitely end.”
On the Tianshi Forum, everyone was excited about Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing's progress on the Death Game. However, Yu Jiuyin hadn't yet realized he had become a celebrity. As for Rongqing, his car had just stopped at the entrance of Yu Jiuyin's haunted house.
"Here's the key. Rongrong, sleep with me tonight." Yu Jiuyin was so drowsy he couldn't even open his eyes, but he still wanted to hold Rongqing tightly. In the end, Rongqing had no choice but to move into Yu Jiuyin's room. As for Mu Xiaoxiao and Sheng Chun, they were assigned to other guest rooms.
The night passed in silence. When Yu Jiuyin opened his eyes the next day, he suddenly felt someone beside him. He looked again and saw it was Rongqing.
But their posture was a little awkward. Yu Jiuyin had originally thought she was taller than Rongqing, but now Rongqing was holding her whole body in his arms, with her face resting on Rongqing's shoulder. This made Yu Jiuyin feel awkward for once.
Rongqing just noticed his movements and opened her eyes to look at him, "You woke up."
Yu Jiuyin blinked, not knowing how to answer.
Instead, Rong Qing teased him, "Don't be embarrassed, I've seen everything I need to see."
Is he teasing me? Yu Jiuyin was stunned, but when he looked at his pajamas, he thought it might be Rongqing who changed them. But even so, they were all men, so what was there to be afraid of when changing pajamas? What's more, when it comes to teasing people, Yu Jiuyin has never lost. He simply turned over and stayed on Rongqing, forcibly holding Rongqing's wrist above his head. "Are you satisfied, little brother?"
"Stop it." This posture was too awkward, but considering that Yu Jiuyin had an injury on her wrist, Rongqing did not resist hard.
Yu Jiuyin pressed on, "It seems you are satisfied. Now shouldn't you satisfy me too?"
"Let me see whose pajamas you are wearing. Are they mine?" Yu Jiuyin said as he pinched the button on Rongqing's collar with his other hand and was about to unbutton it.
At this moment, there was a sound outside the door, and the second brother, who hadn't been seen for a week, opened the door excitedly and shouted "Brother Yu, you are back"
However, halfway through her words, she was startled by the scene in the room. Yu Jiuyin was holding Rongqing down and trying to unbutton her clothes.
"Fuck, Brother Yu, you finally took action against a minor." The second brother subconsciously said what was in his mind.
Yu Jiuyin quickly pulled the quilt over Rongqing, then got out of bed and slapped Lao Er hard. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll call you Guiwa and follow you around every day. Don't call me underage. Call me Brother Rong."
"Brother Rong," the second brother stared blankly at Rong Qing, who was tidying up his clothes at the head of the bed. Facing the delicate and beautiful face of the young man, he couldn't call him "brother". Finally, after holding it in for a long time, he whispered to Yu Jiuyin, "Brother Yu, isn't this something you cheated from somewhere because of your animal nature?"
Unfortunately, the second brother's whisper was also spoken loudly. Rongqing suddenly made a frightened expression when he heard it. The second brother's suspicious look suddenly rose to a higher level.
Yu Jiuyin really shot himself in the foot.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao and Sheng Chun, who had heard the noise from next door, quickly got up. After their explanation, the second brother finally gained a profound understanding of Rongqing and immediately embraced Rongqing's thigh without any scruples.
Wow, it’s another big shot.
Yu Jiuyin had long been accustomed to Lao Er's lack of attention, so he let him get close to Rong Qing. He then went to the bathroom to wash up and change his clothes.
By the time Yu Jiuyin came out, Lao Er, Mu Xiaoxiao and Sheng Chun were already familiar with each other.
"By the way, why did you come to the haunted house so early today? How about the two days when I was away?" After a busy morning, Yu Jiuyin finally remembered the important matter.
The second brother scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
'There's trouble'
"Yes. It's that mirror. It was fine when you were here, Brother Yu, but when you were away these past two days, Lingdang and Guiwa couldn't be controlled. At first, Lingdang's brother tried to stop her, but now..." The second brother got a headache when the mirror was mentioned.
That mirror could connect space. The Bell siblings and the ghost kid were both incredibly powerful child ghosts, far more powerful than the skin-peeling demon. The eldest brother even witnessed the ghost kid dragging someone into a mirror and locking them up alive.
"There is such a thing?" Yu Jiuyin couldn't help but frown.
"It's not entirely the Kid's fault. It's mainly because that bastard went too far. When he couldn't get through the levels, he damaged the equipment in the haunted house. The entire 443 was almost destroyed. Later, he even tried to start a fire. The Kid only attacked because he was so angry."
"Are you all right then?"
"We're all fine, but that guy nearly went crazy after being caught in the mirror. He came out and said he was going to report us. He even called the police, and they came over once."
“The police made such a big fuss.”
"Yes, but luckily we signed a safety agreement, and many old customers have also confirmed that there is no danger in the haunted house. Plus, Xu Wang came in time, so we were able to escape without any danger."
"I understand. I'll go and take a look now." After hearing this, Yu Jiuyin decided to go and take a look himself.
The boss had already cleaned up the lounge area outside, preparing to open for business. Phase 2 was closed because the scenery had been damaged by that person. Even so, Phase 1 was plenty for these curiosity seekers to explore. Within minutes, customers with reservations lined up.
Yu Jiuyin greeted the eldest boss and then went to the staff lounge. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Xu Wang standing there with a sullen face. As for the third brother, he was holding a mirror and saying something seriously.
At a glance, I saw the Bell siblings and the ghost doll sitting together in a row with their heads down and not saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Yu Jiuyin asked, and the three little ones quickly ran to Yu Jiuyin's side. Brother Lingdang was fine, because Lingdang had already started to act like a spoiled child.
"Jiuyin, Jiuyin, where have you been? Lingling misses you so much." Lingling threw herself into Yu Jiuyin's arms, hugged his neck and started to act coquettishly. As for Guiwa, she gestured to show that she was very powerful recently.
The third brother "Brother Yu" was also helpless.
"Okay, okay, they are all children. Tell me what's wrong." Yu Jiuyin knew at a glance that these three were naughty. He first said a word of help, then picked up the ghost doll and put it in Rongqing's arms behind him.
Only then did everyone see that Rongqing had also followed.
"Your Excellency." Brother Lingdang respectfully saluted Rongqing, and Rongqing nodded in response.
Xu Wang had seen Rong Qing before, and although he was surprised that Rong Qing hadn't changed in all these years, he hurried over to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Rong."
The third brother said nothing and looked at Yu Jiuyin, as if asking him if he could speak directly.
Yu Jiuyin smiled and shook his head, "Rongrong is not an outsider, go ahead and speak."
"Yeah." The third brother agreed, still with a sullen face, "It's still about the mirror. The doll is reckless. It stole a mirror to play with before and almost caused a death. And today it's not behaving well again. Luckily, he's a regular customer, otherwise he would be really scared to death."
"There is such a thing." Yu Jiuyin frowned, "Where is the mirror now?"
"It's here." Xu Wang handed the mirror to Yu Jiuyin. Yu Jiuyin turned around and glanced at Guiwa. Guiwa hid behind Rongqing with a guilty conscience.
Even so, Yu Jiuyin wasn't about to let him off lightly. The doll was indeed small, but that didn't excuse him from not knowing right from wrong. The younger he was, the more he needed to understand the rules.
"You can't do that next time, okay?" Yu Jiuyin said seriously for once. Seeing this, Rongqing also pushed Guiwa forward, signaling him to apologize.
The ghost doll looked around and realized that he was really wrong. He hugged Yu Jiuyin's thigh and rubbed it embarrassedly.
"If you like ghost weapons, I'll find you a good one later. This thing is too weird and not a toy you should play with." Seeing that the ghost doll seemed to be regretting his decision, Yu Jiuyin softened his expression and patted his head. "You will go to paradise sooner or later. You came clean and you must leave cleanly. You can't be involved in the karma of human life. Do you understand? This will not be good for you in the future."
Guiwa didn't quite understand what he was saying, but he knew Yu Jiuyin was doing it for his own good. Seeing that Yu Jiuyin's expression had softened, he timidly tugged at the corner of his clothes, looking like he was about to cry.
Yu Jiuyin sighed, reached out and held him in his arms, patted his back and soothed him. The ghost doll sniffed and burst into tears.
He just thought that Yu Jiuyin didn't like him anymore.
"You're not allowed to do that anymore, okay?" Yu Jiuyin coaxed the ghost doll for a while until he calmed down, then turned to explain to the third child, "It's not the ghost doll's fault. This mirror is a ghost tool, originally used by evil spirits. It's normal for the ghost doll to be attracted to it. But it can't stay in the haunted house anymore. This thing is too weird."
"But where else should we put it if not in the haunted house?" Lao San and Xu Wang looked at each other and felt it was very troublesome.
"I do have a place." Rong Qing interjected, "The shop Luo Qiu left behind is pretty good. I think we can put it there."
"What store?"
"It's called the Museum of Curiosities, and it specializes in exhibiting strange and bizarre things. Luo Qiu is good at formations, and since this mirror is strange, it would be nice to put it somewhere and let it shake things up."
"That sounds good." Yu Jiuyin nodded. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. The Metaphysics Association gave me everything Luo Qiu left behind."
As he spoke, he pulled out his phone to check. When he received the notification yesterday, Yu Jiuyin was still asleep, so he glanced at it and closed it. Now that he had some free time, he decided to take a closer look.
However, at this moment, the boss came in hurriedly from outside. After seeing Yu Jiuyin, the urgency on his face was much less.
"Brother Yu, we have someone here looking for trouble."
"What's wrong?" Yu Jiuyin felt it was very strange that there were still people coming to the haunted house to cause trouble these days.
The boss was also speechless. "It's the same bastard who ruined our set before. He didn't get any benefits last time, so he's here again this time. But he didn't come alone, he brought some Taoist priest with him. He said our haunted house allowed evil spirits to hurt people, and he wanted to punish the evildoers."
The "Taoist" Yu Jiuyin looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest carrying a peach wood sword and talking nonsense outside.
Right now, he was pulling a regular customer from the haunted house, muttering, "Young man, from what I've seen, this isn't an auspicious place. There are evil spirits causing trouble. Judging by your face, there will be a bloody disaster today."
