Chapter 247 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 29 (1/2)

Feng Jin told Shi Sheng it wasn’t impossible—she just had to control herself and it wouldn’t cause him too much harm. He wouldn’t be negatively affected by the loss of a little yang qi, and it’d benefit her too.

However, Shi Sheng rejected him outright, “I’m not taking any risks. I can’t afford to gamble.”

‘I managed to find him in this world, but what about the next? Who is he? Why is he appearing in these worlds? I have no way of knowing. I don’t even know if he’ll suddenly disappear one day…’

Since their time together was always ticking down, she couldn’t afford to gamble. No matter how small the risk.

Feng Jin’s heart felt like something was stabbing it. He held Shi Sheng close. “It’s okay…”

Shi Sheng’s expression seemed to say ‘I’m really helpless against you, you little devil’. She patted his head like it was a dog’s head. “I’ll think of something.”

Feng Jin, “…”

‘I didn’t mean it like that…’

“What’s our relationship right now?” Feng Jin looked at Shi Sheng.

“The Civil Affairs Bureau won’t issue marriage certificates for human-ghost couples, so what relationship do you want?” Shi Sheng retorted.

Feng Jin, “…” ‘I need some quiet…’

In the evening, Feng Jin received a call and went out.

An Su raced back in tears as if something were chasing after her. Her clothes were in a mess.

Shi Sheng frowned. She got up from the sofa and floated over. “What happened?”

An Su fiercely leapt at Shi Sheng and hugged her as she cried her eyes out.

Shi Sheng had originally planned to push her away. However, upon smelling that faint post-lovemaking odour, she patted An Su’s back comfortingly. Once An Su was done crying, she told Shi Sheng what happened in between her sobs.

The protection talisman Feng Jin had given her was accidentally destroyed by a classmate. An Su had thought it’d be fine since she’d be returning with her classmates, so she didn’t inform Feng Jin. But she didn’t expect to be kidnapped by Nalan Ying before she even left the school…

“Ghost-jiejie, wuwu… What should I do? He said he won’t let me off,” An Su spoke while sobbing as she tightly clutched Shi Sheng’s hand, “Am I really never going to be free of him in this life?”

“It’s not that serious.” Shi Sheng pushed her into the bathroom. “Go wash up. Don’t think too much.”

Possibly due to the fact that this was Feng Jin’s house, An Su wasn’t that afraid and obediently went into the bathroom to wash up.

By the time Feng Jin returned, An Su had already fallen asleep.

“I’m afraid she’ll get pregnant with Nalan Ying’s child. Do you have any way to prevent a ghost pregnancy?” Shi Sheng stood at the doorway and asked Feng Jin in a quiet voice.

He shut the door and lightly replied, “Nalan Ying can’t have children.”

‘Can’t have children? In the original plot, it seems like An Su really never did get pregnant, even till the end.’

“Why?”

“He once drank Rootless Water.” Feng Jin walked into the kitchen. “What do you want to eat?”

“I like whatever you make.”

Feng Jin’s lips lifted slightly. “Then we’re eating steamed buns tonight.”

“Ah? No! I wanna eat meat!” Shi Sheng pounced over and clung to his back. “What’s Rootless Water? How can it make him sterile?”

‘Is this the legendary contraceptive?’

“No, it’s main purpose is to suppress his power. It just has the side effect of making him sterile.”

Feng Jin rolled up his sleeves. He checked what he had in the fridge before taking out the ingredients he needed, and then began cooking with skilled and practised motions.

Shi Sheng tilted her head as she pondered the matter of Rootless Water on her own. Because she didn’t weigh anything, Feng Jin let her cling to his back.

Feng Jin didn’t make much since it was late, but each dish was a perfect combination of colour, aroma and taste. It probably wouldn’t sell well on appearance alone, but the taste was divine.

Of course, Shi Sheng could only smell it but not eat it. She lay on the table, depressed. ‘So I have to be human after all?’

“What’s the matter?” Feng Jin looked at the braised pork ribs in front of him. “Don’t you like it? Didn’t you say you wanted to eat it this morning?”
