Chapter 228 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 10 (2/2)

“Because it’s fun,” Shi Sheng jerked her hand back before staring at the spot An Su touched thoughtfully.

An Su’s lips twitched. ‘You scared her just because you found it fun?’

An Su wanted to continue speaking, but a servant who had heard all the commotion had arrived, and Shi Sheng used the opportunity to float out of the room.

When she returned to her room, Feng Jin was still in the same position he was in when she’d left.

After meandering around the doorway for a few seconds, she appeared to have decided on something and glided over to Feng Jin.

Feng Jin looked up only to see a shadowy white blur and felt a cool sensation wrap around his wrist.

Shi Sheng bore with the intense burning pain as she rapidly concentrated the sparse spirit energy left in her body into her fingertip. But before she could send it into Feng Jin’s body, she was roughly flung away by a great force.

Feng Jin stared at her with a dark expression.

‘What was she trying to do? Kill me?’

Shi Sheng gingerly held her numb hand as she clambered back up. Rage bubbled up in her chest, but she managed to swallow it back down in the end. ‘If it had been me, and someone suddenly tried to touch me, I’d have already brought out my sword…’

She glared at Feng Jin. “Why would I go through so much trouble just to kill you? Plus, we have a contract! If you die, I die! I’m not an idiot!”

Feng Jin’s tensed body instantly relaxed upon hearing Shi Sheng’s words. “Why do you insist on touching me then?”

‘To the point where you can even ignore getting injured in the process…?’

“How come I’m not allowed to touch you?” ‘What? Would touching you cause you to shatter to bits? Or would it make you pregnant?’

“You’re a ghost.”

“So what?! Don’t ghosts have ghost rights too?! Are you discriminating against me?!” Shi Sheng flared up.

Feng Jin fell silent for a moment, his Adam’s apple bobbing a few times before he spoke, “Humans and ghosts can’t be together.”

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘All I(bbb) wanted to do was to confirm whether you’re Feng Ci or not. Too much imagination is a bad thing!’

Shi Sheng gave Feng Jin a couple of eyerolls, displaying her extreme distaste and contempt before carefully holding her hand and floating out of the room.

Feng Jin, “…” ‘Wasn’t she thinking of me this way? If she wasn’t, then why does she always want to touch me?’

Since then, Feng Jin didn’t see Shi Sheng at all. He could only use their contract link to vaguely sense her location. She was still in the mansion. But before he could go out to look for her, An Su and Madam Qi were found missing.

No one had noticed when the two had disappeared. Only when the servants had gone to call them both down for dinner did they discover that they weren’t in their rooms.

The servants couldn’t find them despite thoroughly searching every inch of the mansion. And since it was pouring outside, there was no way they could have gone out there.

……

At this moment, An Su was tied to a chair in a basement.

Shi Sheng casually hovered beside her with a gloating expression on her face, “How you feelin’?”

An Su was speechless. “How did I get here?”

The last thing she could remember was spending some time together with Madam Qi, but then, somehow, she had suddenly fainted. But, the moment she woke up, she only saw the gloating ghost floating beside her.

However, for some reason, An Su didn’t feel afraid when she was around.

“Kidnapped by someone, duh. How else could you have ended up here? I can’t teleport you,” Shi Sheng smiled rather obnoxiously.

An Su couldn’t help but make a face like this: (||| ¬_¬)

It was easy to assume from Shi Sheng’s infuriating behaviour that she was the kidnapper, but An Su didn’t believe that. Even An Su herself felt it was strange that she’d feel that way.
