Zhang Chuchu, along with the chubby Chu Hang and the gloomy Xu Yang, all accompanied Su Qing in searching for Yan Luo in the village. They returned empty-handed after sunset. When the aunt saw the children come back, she said to them, "Xiao Li just called and said that Xiao Luo went to her place."
"These two kids are really something, so independent and decisive. I wonder who they took after."
Su Qing didn't hear the second half of her aunt's complaints; she was already stunned when she heard that Yan Luo had left.
Her friends looked at Su Qing in shock. Su Qing was very sad. She turned around and ran home, tears streaming down her face.
The girl couldn't understand why the boy would be so heartless. Just yesterday, he was holding her hand, talking about today's plans, and they were so sweet and happy, their hearts beating as one.
After returning home, Su Qing locked herself in her room, and her mindset changed. After returning to Guangzhou with her parents, she gradually developed depression and endured psychological torment until her senior year of high school. Later, she would occasionally have bad moods.
Su Qing didn't understand why she would dream about this, but the girl's despair and helplessness truly affected Su Qing, who was watching from the sidelines, causing a wave of sadness to surge in her heart once again.
When Su Qing came to her senses, the scene before her turned into a void of darkness, with only her younger self standing in front of her.
The young girl, Su Qing, had a sweet and gentle voice that gave off a vibrant feeling, but her words made Su Qing realize that the person in front of her was just wearing her skin.
"You really are a piece of trash, how dare you share a body with me?"
Su Qing frowned. She wouldn't say such a thing, and it was precisely these words from the young Su Qing that made Su Qing realize that this wasn't her.
The young girl Su Qing approached Su Qing step by step, her gentle gaze turning fierce, and a black sword appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Su Qing was stabbed in the chest by the young girl Su Qing. The real pain woke Su Qing up. She sat up abruptly on the bed, touching her chest repeatedly to confirm, panting heavily as she did so.
"It was just a dream..."
After calming down for a while, Su Qing felt a dampness on her back, which must have been from the sweat she shed during the nightmare.
Su Qing got up and covered Chi Miaomiao with a blanket. Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci also obediently covered themselves with blankets. It had been a bit hot in Guangzhou these past two days, so Chi Miaomiao slept in just her underwear and didn't even wear any clothes. It was inevitable that she would catch a cold.
Quietly leaving the master bedroom, Su Qing went to the bathroom on the second floor. She was carrying a new set of pajamas and a new pair of underwear. After putting the clothes on the shelf, Su Qing took off her clothes and turned on the shower.
Warm water was poured onto her proud body. Su Qing's hair was tied up, so she wasn't afraid of getting wet.
Su Qing recalled her dream, and the terrifying image she had just had was definitely not herself. However, she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just an ordinary nightmare. It was just that the oppressive feeling in her heart made her feel uncomfortable.
After taking a shower and leaving the bathroom, Su Qing put her clothes in the washing machine to wash, planning to hang them to dry tomorrow.
Su Qing poured herself a glass of water and sat on the sofa in the small living room on the second floor. She took a sip and put the glass on the table.
The girl hugged her knees, alone and lonely. She missed Yanluo so much. If anyone was looking forward to Yanluo's return the most, it would be Su Qing. Her feelings for Yanluo were definitely no less than anyone else's.
Especially after having nightmares, Su Qing's desire to rely on Yan Luo grew stronger, and the sense of loss without Yan Luo was amplified infinitely.
Su Qing eventually fell asleep on the sofa.
Tu Keke and Man Sui woke up at five o'clock and were carried to the master bedroom by Su Qing. Then they went downstairs for their morning exercise and ran into the twin sisters who were going to the front yard to practice. They greeted each other and started their new day.
Since Man Sui broke through to the sixth rank in mid-February, she has reached a peak in her breakthroughs thanks to her talent and hard work. In just over half a month, Man Sui had a feeling that she was about to break through to the seventh rank.
Tu Keke has already broken through to the seventh level, and Man Sui feels that she needs to work even harder so that she can join forces with Tu Keke to defeat the scoundrel.
After three days of getting used to the energy of spring, Tu Keke's ability to absorb it is increasing. Man Sui can feel a comfortable energy flowing towards Tu Keke, while she herself is also absorbing energy that suits her.
Fan Qianning and Xie Huai'an in the front yard both exclaimed that the two young girls were too abnormal. Their cultivation speed, as well as that of Xue Yunting and Xue Yungan, were extremely rare.
Li Lingzhou, who had been recuperating at the Guangzhou Ghost Hunting Branch for several days, had fully recovered. After lying in bed for several days, Li Lingzhou felt that her physical functions were about to deteriorate. Although she had recovered, the medic still advised her not to train for the next few days until her body had fully recovered.
Li Lingzhou and Qin Jinwen were taking a walk downstairs at the Ghost Hunting Bureau. The recovery ability of a ninth-level cultivator was still very strong. Li Lingzhou stretched his stiff body, but he didn't dare to move too much. Tu Wuqi's knife had stabbed him quite deeply, so he still had to be careful.
"Sister Wen, I want to go back to Yanluo's house to live," Li Lingzhou suddenly said to Qin Jinwen.
Qin Jinwen also thought that working at the Ghost Hunting Bureau was quite boring, while it was much more interesting at Yanluo's house. Although Yanluo wasn't there, there were still a few lively characters at home.
More importantly, that was Yanluo's home.
"Okay, let's pack up this afternoon. I texted Miaomiao, and Alan is also saying she wants to go back to Xiao Luo's house."
A smile appeared on Li Lingzhou's face, and it was clear that she was quite happy.
While the two were taking a walk, they encountered Tuoba Yun, the captain of the second squad, "Demon Suppression." Tuoba Yun had suffered a great loss in the battle against "Snake" and "Monkey," and the forbidden technique he used to enhance his strength almost backfired on him. After a few days of recovery, he was almost back to normal.
"Captain Qin, Captain Li." Tuoba Yun's seniority was higher than all the active ghost hunters, but he never put on airs and was approachable. However, he had a fierce appearance and was often perceived as unapproachable and difficult to get along with.
Qin Jinwen and Li Lingzhou greeted him with smiles. Tuoba Yun was like an elder brother among the ninth-rank captains. Everyone was of similar strength, but they all respected him.
"Brother Yun, where are you rushing off to?" Qin Jinwen asked, noticing the anxiety on Tuoba Yun's face.
Tuoba Yun explained, "Ayi said that Dongxia is not in good condition, as if she is possessed, and asked me to go over and help take a look."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jinwen and his colleague, both being ninth-level ghost hunters, had no reason not to go together.
The three quickly returned to the building and went to the fifth floor, which was the dormitory floor arranged by the Guangzhou Ghost Hunting Bureau for the ninth-tier teams.
The three quickly arrived at the room of the first squad. Wang Yi opened the door anxiously. Before they even entered the room, Qin Jinwen and the other two outside smelled an indescribable odor.
It didn't smell bad, but just smelling it made me feel dizzy. Wang Yi glanced outside and, finding no one else, quickly pulled the three of them inside.
Upon entering the room, the smell became even stronger. Li Lingzhou sensed something was wrong and instinctively covered his mouth and nose. Even though the windows were open, the smell just wouldn't dissipate.
