Chapter 236 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 18 (2/2)
“My own man!”
“My own man!!!” Since when did I become your man?! Have some shame…’
But upon seeing Shi Sheng’s matter-of-fact expression, Feng Jin chose to silently swallow his words. He caught the hand that was rubbing him and glared at her with a poker face. “Enough already. I still have things I need to do.”
“Did you place something on yourself before?” Shi Sheng snatched his hand back as her expression suddenly darkened.
‘I didn’t feel anything when An Su touched me, but this fellow dared to say humans and ghosts can’t touch! Can’t touch your head ah!’
Feng Jin suddenly had a bad feeling. He wrested free from Shi Sheng’s grip, sat up straight and gave a very serious and official-sounding explanation, “All exorcists set up similar wards to protect themselves.”
“Oh really?”
“En.” Feng Jin nodded solemnly.
Shi Sheng’s gaze shifted. She didn’t question him any further, instead choosing to change the topic, “Where did you say you were going yesterday?”
Feng Jin’s brows furrowed. “You can’t come.”
“Why not? I don’t care! I’ll go wherever you go! Otherwise we can both just die together!”
‘I finally found you after so much difficulty! How could I allow you to leave my line of sight? What if you get plotted to death by someone?’
Feng Jin, “…”
He picked up the invitation on the table and opened it up to show Shi Sheng the contents. “I’m attending the Exorcist’s Gathering; I can’t take you with me.”
All the people attending were exorcists; he wasn’t sure if he had the ability to keep them from discovering her.
Keeping a ghost was already going against regulation. If they were discovered, not only would he be punished, she wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed either.
He didn’t know why, but ever since last night, he felt like he had an inexplicable connection with her that spanned across time.
That connection was very subtle. Whenever he saw her, his heart would pound, his heart would ache, and he couldn’t help but care for her.
“A bunch of pretentious clowns! Don’t be afraid, I’ll bring you to go beat them up!” Shi Sheng patted Feng Jin’s shoulder with a domineering expression. “Only the best for my man! You should have the fear and respect of the entire world!”
Feng Jin, “…” ‘I’m not planning on taking over the world…’
#My ghost is not only an insubordinate that molests her owner, she’s also in the late stages of chuunibyou #Waiting for a reply, pls help
Shi Sheng bugged Feng Jin until he had no choice but to agree to her demands.
But later that night, when Shi Sheng got up, she discovered Feng Jin was gone and the house was covered in talismans. These talismans were clearly meant to be used against her. She didn’t manage to leave the house even after a few tries.
Shi Sheng nearly demolished the apartment in her rage. ‘Very good ah, Feng Jin!’
She floated to the door. “FL… An Su, you there?”
‘Dunno if these talismans can block out sound or not… If they do, I can only…bomb the house!’
“…Ghost-jiejie?” An Su’s muffled voice could be heard from behind the door. “I’m here, I’m here!”
“Think of a way to get in.” ‘Feng Jin, don’t let me catch you!’
“Ah? H-how do I do that?” An Su was confused. ‘This is an anti-theft door…’
“Call the locksmith!” Shi Sheng reminded her.
“O-okay…”
Because it was night, the locksmith only arrived after a very long time.
An Su didn’t have any identification, so the locksmith wouldn’t open the door. He wanted the property owners to give them permission first.
Then his gaze landed on the purse in An Su’s hand.
He only agreed after An Su begrudgingly gave him all the money she had. The locksmith left right after opening the door with no intention of peeking inside. From the looks of it, he appeared to be an old hand.
