C54 (1/2)

”Okay, it's all settled now. We didn't finish the Jade Bone Pen, and instead lured Mu Hua out.”

Tang Yufeng softly said, ”This can be considered fate. You should feel lucky.”

I said in surprise, ”Should I be glad? It is my fate that I met such a powerful evil spirit?! ”

”Yeah, what do you think happened to all the female ghosts you met before?” When I thought about it carefully, Tang Yufeng was right. Su Rui was also taken care of in the end, and her soul didn't dissipate like Mu Hua.

”Alright, I'm a bit tired so I'll go back and rest first. Remember to give me some blood at night.” After Tang Yufeng said this, she turned into a streak of red light and flew into the small bag in front of my chest. I looked at the clock on the wall; it was already night.

I went to the bedroom door and knocked lightly, shouting, ”Promise to get up and eat!”

”What? I haven't slept enough.” Promised came out of the bedroom, rubbed his eyes and yawned, looking very tired.

I puzzledly asked, ”Why are your eyes so dark? Where did you go during the day to be so tired?”

”I didn't go anywhere. I just felt very tired when I got home. I really wanted to go to sleep.” I saw that there was actually a ghost on the promised person, and it was a child. From the looks of it, he should only be around seven or eight years old.

”Brat, you're quite bold. Quickly come down.”

”Hee hee …” The kid jumped down from the promise and said with a bit of surprise, ”It... Where did it come from? ”

”Brat, where did you run from?”

”I'm looking for my mom. Brother, do you know where my mom is?” The little boy pretended to be pitiful as he pouted at me.

I softly said, ”Little friend, why don't you go reincarnate? How long have you been in the mortal world?”

”I can't remember. Last time, when the Japanese scum called me in, my mother hid me under the bed so that I wouldn't come out. After that, I never saw my mother again.” I calculated with my fingers, this kid has actually lived for over eighty years. He should be in his nineties by now.

”Little friend, I know where your mother went, I'll send you to find your mother.” I reached over and slapped a piece of paper money on the boy's head. I wrapped it in paper money, lit it, and threw it into the brazier.

A ball of green smoke rose from the brazier. This could be considered as giving it reincarnation.

”I suddenly feel much better.” I took my coat and my promise out of the house and went downstairs to a restaurant.

There's not enough time left today, or else I'd rather go and have a look at Guan Rou.

”Ring, ring...” Ring, ring, ring. I took out my cell phone and saw that it was a call from Guan Rou.

”Hey!” ”What is it?”

”I'm walking back to the hospital now. The doctor said that he needs someone to accompany him at night. If there's nothing else, can you come over to take care of Guan Rou for the night?” Han Mengchen's soft voice came over the phone. I hesitated for a moment before saying, ”Sure, which hospital? I'll be there shortly.”

Guan Rou actually needed someone to accompany her. From the looks of it, Guan Rou's condition was somewhat serious. After dinner, I let the promise return first, I took a taxi to the hospital.

I walked to the front of the ward and looked inside. Guan Rou was sitting on the bed of the hospital bed, reading a magazine. It didn't look like she was seriously ill. I knocked on the door and entered the room.

”Why are you here?”

I whispered, ”It was Han Mengchen who called me. He asked me to come and accompany him.”

”He also said that you are seriously ill and can't lie on the bed anymore. You need someone to take care of you.”

”Nonsense, sit down!” Guan Rou poured a cup of water from the thermos and passed it to me. She then asked softly, ”That's right, have you finished settling the matters over there?”

”Not yet, but it should be soon.” I reached for an apple from the fruit bowl and peeled off the skin. ”How did you suddenly get sick? What kind of illness is it?”

Guan Rou said in a soft voice, ”Maybe I was too tired recently and didn't take any rest, so I accidentally fainted from a cold and a fever.”

I cut the apple into six pieces and handed it to Guan Rou. ”I'm going to the washroom.”

I got up and walked out of the room. A female nurse came up to me. The nurse looked at me and said, ”Are you the patient's relative?”
