C24 (1/2)

I wanted to nod my head in thanks, but my neck seemed to have frozen. I was so frightened that I wanted to move, but I couldn't move no matter what.

”Zhang Yu, what's wrong with you?” Bai Hua immediately saw that something was amiss, and asked anxiously.

”I... Neck... We can't move! ” I stuttered a few words before hastily grabbing onto my neck like a pair of giant invisible hands. The pain was scorching and my breathing became more and more difficult, as though I was suffocating.

Bai Hua looked at me in fear, then quickly put her finger in her mouth. After biting onto her finger, she quickly made a few gestures on my neck.

A few hissing sounds came from my neck, and the power disappeared.

I felt as if I had just died. I leaned back on the sofa and gasped for breath. It took me a long time to recover.

Although it had only been a few minutes, I felt as though several years had passed. The pain of dying had nearly caused me to collapse.

After calming down, I looked down at myself. Only then did I realize that my entire body was drenched in cold sweat, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

”It's no use, you can only temporarily suppress those evil spirits, they're inside him!”

The boy was standing beside me and calmly looking at me until I came to my senses before he helplessly said to Bai Hua.

I looked at the boy in fear. Although he had only said one sentence, I could feel that his cultivation level was no lower than Bai Hua's.

”His name is Li Chen, a genius like senior uncle! How do you feel now? ” Bai Hua glanced at the boy, then looked at my neck and asked worriedly.

I touched my neck. It felt much better than before, but I could feel a chill coming from my entire body. It didn't feel like the cold I felt in winter, but a cold feeling that came from the inside of my body.

Only then did I remember what Li Chen had said to me. That thing was in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

”Do you feel very cold?” Bai Hua has always been an exquisite person, even if I didn't say it, she would be able to tell that right now, I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable.

”If I don't go to that world where ghosts return to souls, how long can I last?” I bitterly smiled and asked helplessly.

As I spoke, my hands felt as if they were going to freeze. I rubbed my hands together, but it was useless.

Helplessly, I looked outside. Through the French windows in the living room, I could see the lavender and nightshade growing in the courtyard of the villa. These plants were still flourishing, but I felt like I was rooted in two different worlds.

”It seems like you won't even be able to endure tonight. Let's hurry up, I'll go ask Martial Uncle to send us to a world where ghosts return their souls!”

Bai Hua worriedly looked at me, and after a long while, she sighed and stood up.

”Us?” I looked at her in shock. I never thought that Bai Hua would actually come with me, and I was both surprised and worried at the same time. If Bai Hua went with me, my chances of winning would be a lot, but at the same time, she would also suffer a lot.
