Chapter 223: Ghost King's Husband (8)
Chen Tian watched as the entire Su family fell into decline, and saw their luck getting lower and lower. He was afraid that they would encounter more disasters in the future.
But besides the Su family, what caught Chen Tian's attention the most was the old Taoist priest. Although there were ghosts and Taoist priests in this world, their spiritual power was not strong. Although the magic array set by the old Taoist priest was simple, Chen Tian could tell at a glance that it must be something from the world of cultivation. How could he possibly...
I don’t know if that old Taoist priest is the time traveler I’m looking for.
But whether it was true or not, Chen Tian didn't take him seriously. He was busy recovering during this period. Although his lover would not care about his lameness, Chen Tian still hoped that his body could recover. At least, he could carry his wife to bed without any obstacles. As a good old man, he should be able to do it easily.
Chen Tian’s current leg was not completely lame to begin with, so he just needed to correct the crooked bones.
The more traditional method is to break the leg and let it grow back directly. Chen Tian is not afraid of the pain, but the key is that he does not have a good reason, and he is also afraid that Bai Su will worry because he broke his leg inexplicably.
Therefore, he could only use a slower method and let the system use energy to correct his bones little by little.
So as time went by, Chen Tian's leg condition got better little by little.
All the ghost servants in the house knew about this, and Chen Tian did not hide it from Bai Su.
Bai Su had already investigated everything that had happened to Su Chen. He knew that he had been lame for a long time, so how come his condition started to improve after being with him for only a few days?
Bai Su would never believe that there was no trick involved. It seemed that there was something strange about his beloved that he didn't know about.
However, he didn't ask anything. No matter what secrets Chen Tian had, as long as he stayed by his side, Bai Su didn't care. Moreover, he was very happy that his lover's leg could be healed.
So, after Chen Tian was finally able to smoothly realize his beautiful wish of picking up Bai Su and walking around, 002 sent news that the old Taoist had finally started to take action.
After Su Chengwang donated all his property, the old Taoist removed the magic circle he had set up in the Su family. After that, these people behaved well for a few days. In recent days, the old Taoist began to appear frequently near the Bai Mansion, acting suspiciously.
I guess the old Taoist priest must know how powerful Bai Su is, so he doesn't have the courage to enter the Bai Mansion. He has been wandering around here without any obvious movements. His purpose must be to find me.
Chen Tian and Bai Su have been in a good relationship recently, and Bai Su has been loosening his control over him.
Chen Tian had long been able to enter and exit the Bai Mansion freely. He usually brought Uncle Fu or Bai Su with him. He knew that if Bai Su didn't go out directly with him, he would quietly follow him. At worst, there would be ghost servants following him.
Sometimes he went out just for the sake of going out. It was to increase Bai Su's trust in him and let his lover know that even if he could leave, he would not leave.
She would often bring some small toys for Bai Su when she came back from going out to please him.
However, since the old Taoist priest was about to reveal his true identity, Chen Tian would not let go of this opportunity.
So, two days later, Chen Tian told Uncle Fu that he wanted to go out alone. Uncle Fu did not refuse after noticing Bai Su's gesture not far away.
Chen Tian knew that Bai Su had again concealed his presence this time, following him not far away. He also deliberately had 002 lock onto the old Taoist's location and encounter him.
Sure enough, the old Taoist's eyes lit up immediately after seeing Chen Tian. He straightened his clothes, holding a whisk in his hand, looking like a hermit, and hurriedly walked over pretending to be casual.
When he reached Chen Tian, he suddenly said with a surprised look: "Sir, I see that your forehead is black. Have you encountered anything unclean recently?"
Chen Tian frowned when he heard that, and ignored the old Taoist, walking forward as if he hadn't heard anything.
The old Taoist found this a little strange. After all, in his mind, no one would really want to be with a ghost.
Therefore, if those who have seen ghosts meet a Taoist priest like me who has discovered their abnormality, they will immediately grab the straw as if it were a life-saving straw and tell him everything.
Who knew that this person would ignore me!
Seeing that Chen Tian was really going to go far away, the old Taoist became anxious. He quickly caught up with him, stopped Chen Tian and said, "My lord, I am not joking. I really feel that you have a very strong Yin energy.
"Did you come into contact with any powerful ghosts during this time? Those ghosts can absorb people's yang energy. If this continues for a long time, you might die!"
When Chen Tian heard this, he knew that the old Taoist didn't have much skills, otherwise he wouldn't have been unaware that Bai Su was not far away.
However, after careful sensing, he found that although this person had some aura of an outsider, he was not the real time traveler.
All I can say is that this old Taoist priest and that time traveler must have some relationship, at least they have contact with each other on a daily basis.
Chen Tian said with a cold face: "I don't understand what you are saying." Then he walked around the old Taoist and continued walking forward.
Seeing that Chen Tian was stubborn and unyielding, the old Taoist stopped him again and said to him directly, "To be honest, this young man is Su Chen?
I was entrusted by your uncle. After marrying you to the Ghost King of the Bai Mansion, he still has a conscience and is now filled with regret, so he specifically asked me to help you get rid of the Ghost King."
After he finished speaking, the old Taoist took out some things from his backpack and said to Chen Tian, "Don't be afraid of the Ghost King. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I will definitely help you.
I have some talismans and magic weapons here. As long as you burn the talismans to ashes, coax the Ghost King into drinking it, and then use these magic weapons on him, they will definitely scare the Ghost King and weaken his power.
"When the time comes, I'll help you and beat him to pieces. Then, you won't have to fear the Ghost King anymore and you can get rid of him completely!"
After the old Taoist said this, he looked at Chen Tian with a smug look on his face, just waiting for him to thank him.
Who would have thought that Chen Tian would throw a punch without hesitation, hitting the old Taoist right in the eye socket, leaving him with a black eye.
This man actually blatantly wanted him to be an accomplice to harm his lover. How could Chen Tian just let him stand there?
Especially after the old Taoist said that, Bai Su's breathing became unstable. He must be sad and angry. How could he give his partner the opportunity to misunderstand him?
So Chen Tian said indignantly: "You demon, do you need to talk nonsense? That is not an evil ghost, that is my lover."
"What? You actually fell in love with an evil ghost!"
"Su Chen, don't be so stubborn! You've clearly been bewitched by the Ghost King. Humans and ghosts are on different paths, and you'll be killed by him sooner or later! He doesn't even know how many men he's had before you, and you're just him...ah!"
This time, before the Taoist priest could finish his words, Chen Tian kicked him.
He couldn't stand hearing this the most. Even if he knew it was false, he would never allow anyone to slander his lover like this.
So, he kicked the man to the ground. Although the old Taoist had some magic skills, he was just a charlatan in the final analysis.
The spells and magical instruments on his body were useful against ghosts and monsters, but they were completely useless against humans. As for the magic arrays that could steal people's luck and cause them to become hallucinogenic, they also needed to be carefully drawn and would take some time to take effect.
So at this moment, even if the old Taoist wanted to fight back, he was no match for Chen Tian at all, and in the end he could only be pinned to the ground and beaten severely by Chen Tian.
After Chen Tian had beaten the man until his face was covered in blood, he rubbed his sore wrist, stood up, glared at the old Taoist and said, "So what if I was bewitched by him!
I don't care about the difference between humans and ghosts! Even if I go to the underworld, as long as I can be with him, I am willing.
"You, an old Taoist priest, actually ruined someone's marriage. Don't appear in front of me again, or I'll definitely make you pay next time!"
After saying that, Chen Tian left with an angry look on his face, leaving Bai Su standing blankly at the street corner. Looking at the old Taoist who was beaten so badly that he couldn't even get up, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart which had been cold for a long time.
He knew that Su Chen had some feelings for him. He could feel it from their daily interactions.
He had always thought that it was because he was good-looking and Su Chen was a homosexual. He never expected that the other party actually had a deep affection for him.
The conversation between Chen Tian and the old Taoist just now has completely struck Bai Su's heart.
If he had some concerns in the past, he felt that Su Chen was only being with him to show his affection and enjoy the moment, and he didn't really want to be with him for long.
After all, one of them is a human and the other is a ghost. If given the chance, the beloved would probably want to escape from him.
But just now, the opportunity was clearly in front of him, but he still chose to let it go. He even beat up the old Taoist who tried to break them up and hurt him, which made Bai Su feel completely at ease.
He is now finally willing to believe that Su Chen is really in love with him.
He even said that even if he went to the underworld, as long as he could be with her, it would be fine. How could Bai Su not be moved!
Placing his hand on his chest, Bai Su calmed himself down a little before hurriedly following.
But this time, his purpose of following Chen Tian was not to monitor him, but to protect his safety.
It's just because I'm too happy that I want to see him all the time, even if he doesn't know I'm by his side.
So, Bai Su followed Chen Tian all the way, watching him buy his favorite pine nut candy and milk cake, and watching him choose the storybook that interested him.
Watching him walk to the shop selling ready-made clothes, he touched the wide-sleeved long gown hanging in the most conspicuous place in the shop and muttered to himself, "The material of this one is good. I wonder if Bai Su will like it."
Finally, Chen Tian went into a jewelry store and bought something, then walked towards Bai Mansion with a smile on his face.
Bai Su followed silently all the time, his eyes filled with indescribable emotion.
It turns out that, since I don't know when, this person's heart and eyes are filled with only himself!
