C14 (1/2)

”Song …” With great difficulty, I managed to produce this sound scale. I was no longer able to speak, and my body no longer had any strength left.

He picked me up and smiled gently. ”I won't hurt you. Don't be afraid.”

Su Chen carried me upstairs. I glanced sideways at Min Hao, who was still lying there.

Upstairs in the bedroom, he puts me on the bed, next to me is Shan Shan, she lies there, motionless.

Su Chen tied a thread to the ring finger of my left hand and turned off the light in the room.

I couldn't raise my head to see what he was doing, but the room was beginning to smell like incense.

”Looks like you really want to be my brother-in-law!” The lights in the room were switched on and Min Hao's voice came to my ears. It was true that he had not been in pain for nothing, that he had not failed at the crucial moment!

”Min Hao, why are you …”

”I just wanted to see what you wanted to do.” Min Hao's voice was calm. 'I'm getting a bit anxious now. Devilish brat, can you speed up?'

”Nothing, I just want July to be my girlfriend.” Other than the initial surprise, Su Chen did not panic at all. His tone was also filled with confidence.

”Where did your confidence come from?” Min Hao asked what I wanted to say.

”If you had a way, would you still be here chatting with me?” There was a hint of mockery in Su Chen's voice, then the lights were turned off again.

At the moment the lights were turned off, something fell onto the ground. It sounded like a metal item.

”What do you mean?” Su Chen sounded slightly annoyed.

Min Hao didn't answer. It seemed like he was already gone.

WTF? Are you kidding me?

How could a mere Heavenly Master disciple be unable to defeat Su Chen? I think of Song Nan now! Could he make Song Nan appear now?

No one heard my call. In the moonlight, I could see a ghost sit up from Shan Shan.

Although this ghost is also in a black humanoid form, it is different from the Shadow Wraith from before. This ghost has a sense of peace. My emotions that were like a pot of porridge suddenly became much calmer. What's going on?

The ghost slowly detached itself from Shan Shan's body and floated in the air. Then it began to float towards me.

Suddenly, the ghost's body bloomed with innumerable black flames. In the next second, it was completely burnt away. My fear also returned. Mother! What the hell was that? Was he going to possess her?

Someone put a piece of something like tea into my mouth. Slowly, I felt like I could move.

The lights were on in the room and I sat up.

”July. Be careful. The effects of the medicine in your body aren't over yet. You'll have a headache.” It's Song Nan, why is he here? Can you summon me with a single word?

Song Nan propped the pillow behind me and let me lean against it. I raised my left hand in front of Song Nan, who wordlessly untied the red thread.

Su Chen sat on the sofa beside the bed, despair written all over his face. Beside me, Shan Shan didn't wake up, but her breathing was steady and should be fine.

Directly across from the bed was what appeared to be an altar. I looked around and saw runes on the walls of the room. Could it be that Su Chen was also the descendant of some great master?

”What's going on?” I think it's better to ask first.

Song Nan coldly said, ”Let him say it himself!”
