Chapter 223 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 5 (1/2)

Feng Jin brought Shi Sheng to the little neighbourhood where An Su was staying. Shi Sheng wanted to simply pass through the car door, but upon remembering that her sword would be unable to follow her through, she could only leave from Feng Jin’s side.

‘Open the door myself? Sorry, ghosts need to use mana to touch physical objects. How could I waste mine for something so trivial? I gotta save it for fighting later!’

Feng Jin had parked his car on a road outside the neighbourhood. The surroundings were very quiet, save for the occasional passing car.

Shi Sheng dragged her sword behind her and floated after him. Had someone else been present, they would have seen a sword flying by itself.

Since it was an old neighbourhood, the safety installations weren’t in good condition, so Feng Jin entered easily by climbing over the wall. Lights would occasionally flicker on in some units of the squat apartment buildings, acting as beacons amidst the darkness of night.

Feng Jin halted outside the building of An Su’s apartment. He lifted his head to observe for a bit before turning to look at Shi Sheng and speaking in a soft, unhurried voice, “Lure Nalan Ying out.”

Shi Sheng pointed at herself. “Just me?”

“Didn’t you want me to believe you? Then prove it by bringing him here,” Feng Jin spoke very slowly, as if he wanted Shi Sheng to hear him loud and clear.

“How do you know he’s here?” ‘Is Feng Jin really so certain that Nalan Ying’s here? I mean, even if he loves screwing the FL, he has to rest SOME time, right?’

“Don’t want to go?” Feng Jin’s tone turned sinister.

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘I’ll go, okay?! As if I’d be scared of him! Just watch as I(bbb) use him as a punching bag! Don’t get too scared of me!’

She floated upstairs with her sword.

Feng Jin really wanted to remind her that the sword was too conspicuous, but upon thinking that she had used it to wreck his house, he shifted his gaze, not caring any further.

……

Shi Sheng floated up to An Su’s apartment window. It had one of those old-fashioned flap designs and was currently wide open. The curtains flailed wildly in the wind, casting ominous shadows on the floor.

Shi Sheng floated in through the window. She could hear some muffled sounds coming from the bedroom…some very suggestive moaning, in fact. Shi Sheng floated in through the doorway towards the bedroom. Tightening the grip on her sword, she took a deep breath and swung.

“Nalan Ying, you asshole[1]! You’re fucking around with someone else here!” Shi Sheng roared before bringing her sword down onto the two figures lying onthe bed.

“Ah!” Surprised by the sudden shout, An Su shrieked in terror.

Nalan Ying pulled An Su with him as he rolled off the bed. Both of them were completely naked, their intimate spots still joined together.

Shi Sheng didn’t give Nalan Ying time to react before she brought her sword down once again. “You scumbag! You played with my(ln) feelings, and now you’re fucking someone else! Are you scamming another little lady? You’re harming them by absorbing their yang qi[2]! How could you be so disgusting? I(ln) was really blind back then!”

An Su couldn’t spot Shi Sheng, only seeing a sword attacking them constantly. However, she could still hear that melodious, yet angry voice.

Concluding that this was probably enough, Shi Sheng immediately put her sword away and floated out. Nalan Ying released An Su—whereupon clothes appeared on his body—got up, and chased after Shi Sheng. ‘Dared to interrupt me just now?! Seeking death!’

He was much faster than Shi Sheng anticipated. She hadn’t managed to leave the building before being intercepted by Nalan Ying, whose frosty glare fixated on her.

As he suddenly raised his hand, Shi Sheng felt something pulling her towards him.

The aged lightbulbs that lit the corridor crackled and flickered, causing both their figures to appear ominous.

‘Fuck! Are you a black hole?!’

Shi Sheng stabbed her sword into the nearby wall to anchor herself. Her gaze swept to the unblocked window beside the exit. She scooted over, gritted her teeth, and lunged out, at which point the attractive force disappeared.

However, Nalan Ying soon chased after her. The two landed on the green field outside the little neighbourhood. Nalan Ying then repeated his action from before.

‘Oh for fuck’s sake, are we not done with this?!’

Shi Sheng swiftly pulled out a lightning ball. ‘With this little ball in my hand, I can rule the world! Even God’ll have to bow to me, let alone this ML!’

Shi Sheng tossed a lightning ball at him. Nalan Ying seemed to sense the danger, for he hurriedly dodged. However, he was inevitably caught by the resulting blast.
