Chapter 164 It's a Real Coincidence

Zhu Nan set up a soul-locking array, standing in the center. The doors and windows were already closed. Xiang He cast an invisibility spell and stood on the other side of the bed, concealing her figure.

The room gradually darkened. The sun, which had been shining through the window, was now pitch black, like the darkness of a night without candlelight.

Zhu Nan stood upright facing the bed, her fingers unconsciously gripping the safety buckle at her waist.

Although my house is full of demons and ghosts, this is the first time I've summoned one myself. I feel a bit strange; I'm more excited than scared.

My vision gradually darkened until I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face, and there was no sound in my ears.

Zhu Nan couldn't hide his excitement. He remained silent for a quarter of an hour when a gentle breeze brushed past his temples. He immediately perked up, and even in the darkness, his eyes shone brightly.

Suddenly a rustling sound arose, and the movement of the bedding on the bed grew louder and louder. Zhu Nan stared wide-eyed, trying to see clearly, when suddenly a soft murmur rang out, and his eyes immediately returned to normal.

The sound grew louder and louder; it was a man's panting.

Zhu Nan squinted, almost closing her eyes.

In this pitch-black environment, on the bed right in front of him, a man was panting…

Suppressing his helplessness, he steadied himself and suddenly felt a caress on his chest, causing his body to stiffen completely.

As the hands on his chest moved like a hand, they reached his face and pinched his earlobe.

"Such strong and sturdy guards, this servant is truly fortunate!"

The voice was alluring and lingering in her ear, and her body felt as if it were being held tightly. Zhu Nan tried to move, but found that she couldn't move at all.

He tried to speak but couldn't; he could only call out to the girl in his heart.

Feeling the sticky, damp sensation on his neck, Zhu Nan suppressed his nausea and repeatedly called out to his all-powerful girl.

Just as the moisture reached his lips, a golden light appeared before his eyes—

"Ah!~~~"

A sharp scream rang out, and all the doors and windows around the room opened, letting in light. Zhu Nan moved and immediately pushed out of the formation.

A seductive figure came into view. Her mouth was covered with a talisman, and her body was bound by ink lines. When she twisted her body and touched the ink lines on the ground, she would be burned.

Xiang He tightened the ink line, glanced at Ning Chong on the bed, whose clothes were torn open and whose pants were loose and about to be exposed. Xiang He stretched out his legs to lift the quilt to cover him up.

"Chong'er!"

A group of people rushed in from outside the door, and the first thing they saw was that alluring woman, her body steaming, with thread tightly wrapped around Xiang He's hand.

"do not come."

Xiang He took out a talisman and silently chanted to his lips, then pinched it between two fingers and stuck it on the woman's forehead, "Disperse."

With a single word of prophecy, the female ghost was instantly burned all over her body until she completely perished.

The ink line in her hand fell to the ground. Xiang He silently picked it up, rolled it up, and casually wiped the formation off the ground with her feet.

"Prepare pen and ink, I will write the prescription."

Still reeling from what had just happened, everyone stood there stunned.

Xiang He carefully put away the ink line, then took off his Taoist robe and sat on the edge of the bed, observing Ning Chong's expression. "Pen and ink."

Ning Wanwan was the first to come to her senses and immediately went to the desk to bring over writing materials. "Miss, what was that just now...?"

"The female ghost in the brothel alley enjoys consuming yang energy as a tonic."

She held the jade plate, but her eyes were on her eldest brother, and her ashen face was completely gone!

"Father, Mother, come quickly! My eldest brother looks much better!"

Ning's parents, who were in a daze, suddenly moved and quickly walked to the bedside to check on their son's complexion. The ashen look on his face had disappeared, and he had gained a bit more color.

Madam Ning burst into tears, squatted down, and grasped Ning Chong's hand, sobbing, "Chong'er... my Chong'er..."

She cried out Ning Chong's name. When Master Ning saw Ning Chong's expression, his face relaxed considerably, and he no longer looked as serious as before when he looked at He.

"It seems you really do have some skills."

Xiang He, who was busy writing the prescription, didn't even look up. "Boil three bowls of water down to one bowl, one dose a day, absolutely no more."

With that, she put down her brush and stood up. "Qi Xin, let's go back."

Seeing her cold expression, Master Ning's face immediately darkened, but he didn't say anything more, only staring at her profile.

Seeing them about to leave, Madam Ning hurriedly got up and called out, "Taoist priest, we haven't given you the incense money yet! Where do you live? I'll have Wanwan deliver it to you another day!"

Xiang He waved his hand behind his back, "When Qi Xin visits another day, just have him pass it on to me."

They walked without stopping, heading straight out of the Ning family's gate. Xiang He didn't even look back, continuing towards the West Market.

Along the way, Zhu Nan kept wiping her neck with her sleeve. Xiang He glanced at her and said, "Stop wiping, it's getting raw. It's not poisonous."

"Just thinking about it makes me nauseous..."

Being licked by a ghost... just thinking about it is terrifying...

Xiang He chuckled, and Qi Xin, walking beside her, asked, "Miss, how did you summon that thing?"

Hearing this, Xiang He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Ning Chong has been marked by that female ghost. She can sense any changes that occur here. I have placed a curse on Ning Chong. The moment he has a thought, the female ghost will appear."

"What are you thinking?"

Zhu Nan paused, her hand still wiping her neck. She blinked quickly to banish the thoughts from her mind. "Young Master Qi, what could he possibly be thinking in a brothel..."

"…!" Qi Xin immediately covered his mouth, "I spoke too much…"

His mind began to wander, gradually weaving a complete story.

"He had a fever at night, could it be..."

Xiang He flicked him on the forehead. "Alright, don't mention this again. When you visit him another day, remember to bring back the incense money for me."

"Why don't you go get it? I don't know when I might go."

"Just remember that."

"Oh."

The three walked home. Xiang He's stomach was growling with hunger, so she bought a few meat buns along the way.

I had just taken a bite when I saw two men harassing a respectable woman.

You wouldn't know unless you looked; those two scoundrels had wandered all the way from the East Market to the West Market.

Xiang He took a big bite and said, "You two, go and teach them a lesson. I'm annoyed by them."

Qi Xin and Zhu Nan looked over together. The two girls were very resistant, but the common people on the side dared not step forward to help. After all, their clothes were not ordinary, and it would be bad if they offended someone important.

Upon hearing the order, Zhu Nan immediately took action. The disgust she felt earlier hadn't dissipated yet, so she decided to vent her anger on these two scoundrels.

Qi Xin is a person who loves to join in the fun and is very righteous; he is always the first to rush to the front lines when something happens.

"Who...who are you?! Ouch!"

As soon as the two men made their move, the two girls immediately ran away. Xiang He ate and watched, and her vexed mood improved, making her eat even more heartily.

"That's enough, don't cripple them."

With such a scoundrel, countless young women's reputations have been ruined.

When the two scoundrels saw that it was Xiang He, they were so angry they wanted to bite him, but they didn't dare to provoke him. After all, Zhu Nan's aura and strength were undeniable, and no one would dare to mess with her again.

"You, you all just wait!"

"No wait."

Xiang He turned and walked towards Zhaoxiang Lane. Zhu Nan felt the strength in her hands and was no longer listless.

"Girl, your method is better. If you feel uncomfortable, just vent your anger."

"of course."
