Chapter 55: Ghostly Aura
They had installed a heater long before the temperature change occurred in the house, but even at full power, the house still couldn't get warm.
Meng Rou's room was especially cold, but there was no way to change it. So, they had to cover Meng Rou with a thick blanket.
"It seems that the crux of this yin energy lies inside!" Zhong Nianyao looked at the closed door and muttered to herself, "It's not just yin energy, but also - ghost energy."
That's right, with just one glance, she could tell there was a sinister ghostly aura emanating from the room. Furthermore, the ghostly aura was almost tangible, indicating that the resentment was quite strong!
"Miss Zhong, what did you say?" Mother Meng, who was standing nearby, saw Zhong Nianyao mumbling to herself and spoke anxiously, "Did you see something? Is my daughter in danger?"
"It's hard to say now. We'll know after we get in."
After saying that, Zhong Nianyao took a step forward and pushed the door open.
As soon as they entered the room, they immediately felt a chill. They all shuddered, and their attention immediately fell on the large bed in the room.
There was no light on in the room, and the curtains were all drawn. However, through the faint light from the curtains, one could still see a small bulge on the bed, indicating that someone was lying there.
"Xiaorou!"
Mother Meng walked straight forward to the bedside and softly called her daughter's name, "How do you feel now?"
Meng Rou, lying in bed, couldn't help but burst into tears the moment she saw her mother. "Mom, I'm in so much pain. I feel like I'm going to die."
At this moment, she truly felt like she was living a life worse than death. Ever since her health problems began, she'd felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her lower abdomen every day. Her stomach felt like a balloon, constantly being inflated, growing larger day by day. She even suspected it would eventually burst.
"It's okay, it's okay, you'll be fine soon." Meng's mother grabbed Meng Rou's hand, tears streaming down her face, but she still spoke to comfort her, "Xiao Rou, we found a master. She's very powerful and can definitely save you."
Father Meng looked at Zhong Nianyao, a little anxious, but still respectful, and said, "Miss Zhong, please save Xiaorou!"
Meng Rou also struggled to turn her head, trying to catch a glimpse of the person her parents had said could save her. She had expected to see a white-haired, sage-like old man in his sixties. Instead, she saw a girl even younger than herself.
Looking at this young and healthy girl, especially her stunning face, a hint of jealousy flashed through her eyes. At the same time, her heart was filled with suspicion.
"Xiao Rou, don't look at Miss Zhong's young age, she is really amazing."
Perhaps sensing Meng Rou's suspicion, Meng's mother quickly spoke up, "Just now, she simply used a talisman to restore the room's temperature."
Her tone was a little hurried, because she was worried that if Xiaorou said something unpleasant and angered Zhong Nianyao, she didn't know who could save Xiaorou.
Meng Rou didn't know what she was thinking at the moment. She rolled her eyes but didn't say anything to embarrass anyone.
"Ms. Zhong, what should we do now?" Meng Kairui asked.
Zhong Nianyao didn't answer, but stepped forward to signal Meng's mother to leave. Then, she reached out and lifted the thick blanket from Meng Rou's body.
Meng Rou, who was already shivering from the low temperature in the room, suddenly lost the quilt that kept her warm and immediately wanted to curl up.
But her huge belly prevented her from doing so.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's sudden action, Meng's father and mother were startled. After seeing their daughter shivering from the cold, they subconsciously wanted to go forward and cover her with the quilt again. However, they were blocked by Zhao Xuanlang.
"Uncle Meng, Aunt Meng, don't worry!" Zhao Xuanlang seemed exceptionally calm. "You have to trust the eldest sister. She will find a way."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Meng stopped abruptly.
Zhong Nianyao ignored Meng Rou's reaction, her eyes fixed on her body. To be more precise, on her belly.
Through Meng Rou's belly, she saw a ball of black gas swirling inside, and in that ball of black gas, there was a fully formed baby.
However, unlike ordinary babies, that baby was completely black, with eyes as red as blood and four fangs in his mouth, looking extremely ferocious.
As if sensing Zhong Nianyao's gaze, the baby also looked towards her, then, as if admitting it, revealed a ferocious smile, which was filled with coldness and chill. As soon as their eyes met, one could feel a chill rising from the soles of their feet, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
However, it was obvious that Zhong Nian Yao was not affected at all, and even the expression on her face did not change at all.
She slowly withdrew her gaze, then took out a piece of yellow talisman paper and threw it directly at Meng Rou.
As soon as the talisman paper fell, a golden light flashed.
Before Meng Rou could see anything clearly, she felt a strong light suddenly appear in front of her eyes, which made her close her eyes subconsciously.
But then, she felt a warm current flowing through her limbs and throughout her body. Before long, she felt completely warm. That warm feeling was like basking in the sun in winter.
She hadn't felt this warm for a long time, and it made her moan in comfort. She even felt like her body had gotten much better, completely free of the pain and fatigue she had been feeling for the past half month.
"Xiaorou, how do you feel now?"
Mother Meng's face showed joy. Although she didn't know Meng Rou's current condition, she could tell from her improved complexion that Zhong Nianyao's methods had taken effect.
"I feel much better now and have some strength back."
As she spoke, Meng Rou had already sat up and leaned against the headboard. Although her condition still looked terrible, it was much better than when she had just been lying on the bed, exhausted.
"You can save me, right?" Meng Rou's burning gaze fell on Zhong Nian Yao.
