Ji Chengfeng never imagined that his wife would kick him out of the room again.
When he tried to open the door three times without success, his shoulders slumped.
It was so late, and he couldn't bear to wake his wife and ask her to open the door for him, so he could only go to sleep in the study, dejected.
The worst part is that he doesn't even know how he offended his wife.
In contrast to Ji Chengfeng, who didn't sleep well all night, Madam Ji slept soundly all night.
I got up early to prepare breakfast for the whole family, especially some of my little girl's favorite foods.
My little girl must have been exhausted yesterday; she needs to eat more to replenish her energy.
Once breakfast was ready, Mrs. Ji went upstairs and knocked on each door.
I don't know what happened, but today the whole family seemed to have agreed to stay in bed all the time.
Besides Ji Chengfeng, who had work to do early in the morning, there was also Ji Zhixu, who had to rush to the lab to finish up a project.
As for the fourth and fifth children, they went on a school field trip and won't be home this week.
Madam Ji first knocked on Ji Zeqian's bedroom, but no one answered after knocking for a long time.
Even if Ji Zeqian didn't answer, he would usually come and open the door.
Mrs. Ji asked with some concern, "Xiao Qian, is Mom coming in?"
Mrs. Ji asked a question, and after waiting for a minute without any movement from inside, she reached out and turned the doorknob.
On the spacious bed, Ji Zeqian lay on his back, fast asleep.
His face was calm and serene, and his sleeping posture was perfectly upright.
If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Madam Ji would have suspected that something had happened to him.
Madam Ji stepped forward and gently patted Ji Zeqian's shoulder twice.
"Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian, wake up, it's time to eat breakfast."
Ji Zeqian remained motionless.
There was no reaction at all.
Madam Ji frowned, raising her voice and intensity, "Xiao Qian, get up and have breakfast."
Ji Zeqian still did not respond.
The chest under the blanket rose and fell normally, and the body he touched was at a normal temperature.
Everything indicates that Ji Zeqian has no problems.
Even so, Madam Ji still stepped forward to check Ji Zeqian's breathing. Only after confirming that he was breathing normally and regularly did she breathe a sigh of relief.
But Xiao Liu had never slept so soundly before.
Because of his illness, he was always vigilant. He would react almost as soon as someone got close.
She's taken two photos of him today, and he's still unmoved.
"Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian..."
This time, Madam Ji used a lot of force, pushing Ji Zeqian's body so hard it swayed back and forth.
But Ji Zeqian still didn't respond.
He didn't even twitch his eyelids.
Madam Ji panicked and turned to run towards Qi Qi's room.
She suspected that Xiao Liu was possessed by something, which was why she was acting this way.
"Qibao, go check on your sixth brother, Mom feels something's wrong with him..."
Madam Ji pushed the door open and went in. Before she could finish speaking, her expression changed again. She quickly walked to the bedside, her voice becoming shrill and off-key.
"Qi Bao, Qi Bao, are you alright, Qi Bao..."
Mrs. Ji shook Qiqi's little body vigorously, and when she didn't respond after a couple of shakes, she was so anxious that she was about to take her to the hospital.
As soon as I picked up Qiqi, the little girl opened her eyes.
With a blank look in her big, dark eyes, she noticed that Madam Ji's expression was not good and quickly asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Qibao, are you alright?" Seeing that she was awake, Madam Ji quickly put her down and cupped her little face in her hands, looking her over from left to right.
The little girl had a fair and soft face, delicate and cute features, and bright and spirited big eyes when she looked at her, completely different from the girl she had seen when she pushed open the door.
Madam Ji even couldn't help but wonder if she had just misread the image.
Qiqi was a little confused by Madam Ji's question, shaking her little head, "Mommy, why are you asking that? What's wrong with me?"
She was just too tired and slept very soundly.
And after finishing my morning class, I couldn't resist taking a nap. Is there anything wrong with that?
After thinking for a moment, Madam Ji told Qiqi what she had just seen.
"I went to wake your sixth brother up for breakfast, but I couldn't get him to wake up. I was thinking of asking you to check if he was being haunted by something evil, but when I opened the door I saw..."
The scene just now was too bizarre. Madam Ji couldn't help but tremble when she thought of Qi Lai. "A black, mask-like thing was covering your face. The eyes of the mask were looking at me sideways as I was speaking. That look... was so cold and terrifying!"
Just thinking about it made her heart race.
Upon hearing this, Qiqi knew that it was the wisp of demonic energy that Huo Yusen had left in her body to save her that was causing the trouble.
If she guessed correctly, the demonic energy probably wanted to take over her body!
After all, cultivators have abundant spiritual energy in their bodies. Although this energy is contrary to evil demonic energy, if they can successfully seize it, their ability to transform into demons on the spot can be said to be invincible.
Therefore, since ancient times, demons have preferred to hunt down lone cultivators in order to see if they can seize their bodies and increase their own strength.
With her big eyes darting around, Qiqi tilted her head and looked at Madam Ji with a cute expression, saying in a childish voice, "Mommy, could you be mistaken? I'm so powerful, and I have the Copper Coin Sword protecting me, how could any evil spirits dare to come near me! Even if they really dared to come, they would have been cleaved into ashes by the Copper Coin Sword long ago."
Madam Ji thought about it and agreed.
With so many talismans and magical artifacts around her, and being so powerful herself, what kind of foolish creature would dare to approach her and do something improper?
I might really have been scared by Xiao Liu, which is why I'm having these wild thoughts and hallucinations.
"Mom, let's go see Sixth Brother first."
Qiqi then subtly shifted the topic, successfully diverting Madam Ji's attention away from the main subject.
"Okay, let's go check on your sixth brother right away, his condition is really not right."
"Uh-huh."
Madam Ji quickly carried Qiqi to Ji Zeqian's bedroom.
In the bedroom, Ji Zeqian was still asleep, and he remained in the same position that Madam Ji had slightly changed after pushing him, without even the slightest movement.
The more Madam Ji looked, the more eerie it seemed. She carefully hugged the little girl in her arms, "Qi Bao, do you see anything dirty?"
Qiqi looked around and found that there was no yin energy in the bedroom.
She shook her head, swung her short legs, and gestured for Madam Ji to put her down.
Madam Ji quickly put her on the ground, and Qiqi ran to the bedside, reached out and held Ji Zeqian's wrist to take his pulse.
A moment later, he turned to Madam Ji and said, "Mom, don't worry, Sixth Brother is fine, he's just sleeping."
"Sleep?" Madam Ji was stunned.
What kind of sleep is that?! How can someone sleep so soundly?!
