“So, does that mean Lin Senior’s refusal to let his daughter get married is somehow related to this illness?”
Shui Miao, surprisingly, felt relieved and calmed down.
Because Shui Miao possessed immortal energy, curing diseases was not a big deal at all.
“This… I’m not sure,” Da Shuang naturally dared not guess recklessly.
“Knock knock knock!”
At that moment, a gentle knocking sound echoed.
Da Shuang stood up and opened the door; it was a waiter bringing two cups of coffee.
The waiter was Shui Miao’s former colleague, and Shui Miao simply nodded and smiled at her.
After the waiter left, Da Shuang curiously asked, “Do you two know each other?”
“Yes, I used to be a waiter too.”
Shui Miao casually replied, then placed her hand on the coffee table, secretly activating her immortal energy to slip a Yin Holy Spirit into Da Shuang’s cup.
“Hmm?”
Da Shuang took a sip of coffee and immediately frowned. “It was steaming hot just now. How come it got cold so quickly?”
“No way. Try it again?”
Shui Miao quickly concentrated, letting Hei Sheyao (Black Snake Spirit) bewilder Da Shuang into perceiving the coffee as hot.
Hei Sheyao had been following Shui Miao, working in secrecy while Shui Miao remained in the open.
Instantly, Hei Sheyao blew a puff of breath toward Da Shuang.
Suddenly feeling slightly dizzy, Da Shuang took another sip. “Hmm, strange, why is it hot again?”
“Maybe you’re just too tired. Look at those panda eyes. Big Sis Da Shuang, let me teach you a Qi cultivation method. Try practicing it, and I guarantee you’ll feel energetic, youthful, and more beautiful,” Shui Miao smiled slightly, eager to pass on the Qi method to Da Shuang.
From what Shui Miao had learned, Da Shuang was a workaholic who had never believed in Qi cultivation.
Actually, this was one of the reasons why Shui Miao had特意 (especially) come looking for Da Shuang.
Seeing that Shui Miao wasn’t grieving over Lin Qing’er’s condition but instead smiling at her, combined with the strange coffee incident, Da Shuang absolutely refused to believe it was simply due to fatigue. Considering how Shui Miao had come alone, showed no concern for Lin Qing’er, and even failed to save Lin Qing’er’s phone number in her phone, these various clues led Da Shuang to suspect that Shui Miao might be a playboy with ulterior motives toward her.
To uncover the truth, Da Shuang decided to test Shui Miao.
So Da Shuang gently placed her coffee down and smiled sweetly at Shui Miao. “Then how exactly do you plan to teach me?”
“No rush. Finish your coffee first.”
Shui Miao suddenly noticed something strange about Da Shuang’s expression.
Shui Miao glanced at Hei Sheyao, who quickly shrugged, indicating it had nothing to do with him.
“The coffee can wait…” Da Shuang leaned closer to Shui Miao, her sweet voice simultaneously sounding, “Shui Miao, why don’t you teach me how to cultivate Qi first? Or should I take off my clothes?” As she spoke, Da Shuang seductively bit her lip and began unbuttoning her blazer.
Da Shuang wore a wine-red blazer with a black knee-length skirt, and beneath the blazer was a flesh-colored semi-transparent silk blouse, very sexy.
“Big Sis Da Shuang, why don’t you drink your coffee first?”
Shui Miao frowned, feeling awkward. Why was Big Sis acting like this?
Was the coffee brought by the waiter, who perhaps had been bribed by Shui Miao, drugged?
Anyway, there were security cameras in the office. Without putting herself at risk, how could she uncover the other person’s true intentions? For Lin’s sake, Da Shuang picked up the coffee, drank it all in one go, and then, with a seductive expression, took off her blazer and threw it onto Shui Miao…
“Big Sis, I still have something to do,” Shui Miao stood up abruptly. “Forget it. Let someone else teach you later. I’ll take my leave first.” Having said that, Shui Miao turned and left.
Watching Shui Miao leave the office directly without hesitation, and feeling a wave of cool and pleasant sensation sweep over her body, Da Shuang stood stunned, utterly bewildered. She lowered her head to look at her chest, then touched it a few times, muttering to herself, “What does this mean? Could it be that he disdains my small breasts and looks down on me!?”
※※※
Shui Miao entered the elevator, pressed the button for the first floor, and focused her mind to sense Da Shuang’s movements with her spiritual perception.
“Master, I think she was trying to test you, but unfortunately, you didn’t fall for it.”
Xiao Hei (Little Black), standing beside Shui Miao, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Shui Miao looked at Xiao Hei and realized that having this guy around was quite inconvenient. Perhaps she should assign him a task? After a pause, Shui Miao said, “Xiao Hei, go and monitor that Guigu Doctor for me. I suspect he’s deceiving us. You must keep a close watch on him.”
Suddenly shifting topics caught the Black Snake Spirit off guard.
The Black Snake Spirit hesitated slightly before obediently leaving, puzzled.
After the Black Snake Spirit left, Shui Miao concentrated her mind and summoned the female ghost officer ‘Shui’ and the female ghost horse ‘Zhuiyue,’ who had been hiding somewhere previously. “You two send a team to monitor the Guigu Doctor and this Black Snake Spirit. If anything important happens, report to me immediately.”
“Yes!”
Ghost horse Zhuiyue immediately vanished to deliver the orders.
Ghost officer Shui stayed by Shui Miao’s side, silently looking at her.
Shui Miao also looked at Ghost officer Shui, somewhat speechless. Just as she had gotten rid of one follower, another had immediately appeared! However, at least this Ghost officer Shui seemed like a robot, not speaking unnecessarily, just waiting for orders.
“Shui, have you found out anything?”
Suddenly curious, Shui Miao wondered what exactly this team of ghost officers and horses could do for her.
“Reporting to Master Yang Chashi, we have gathered a lot of information. So far, we have identified over 30,000 evil ghosts committing crimes, thirteen of whom are particularly heinous. We can handle ten of them but are unable to confront three. One of these dangerous ghosts is near the airport you might be heading to. Please decide how to deal with these evil ghosts,” Ghost officer Shui saluted Shui Miao, her voice sounding like a robot, devoid of emotion.
“There’s one at the airport!” Looking at Ghost officer Shui, Shui Miao nervously licked her lips. “Tell me, what’s the situation with that evil ghost at the airport?”
Ghost officer saluted and responded, “It is a vengeful spirit that haunts near the airport, stealing souls. Whenever it encounters someone whose body is weak and near death, it transforms into a pitiful child and follows that person, asking for items. If the person gives it something, it will spare them. However, if the person refuses, it will snatch their soul and devour it. The reason we cannot defeat it is because it has already consumed many souls, gaining their thoughts, making it extremely cunning and powerful.”
“So powerful! Then do you think I can defeat it?”
Shui Miao exited the elevator and, thinking about Lin Qing’er, quickened her pace outward.
“I don’t know. I’m not aware of your strength,” Ghost officer answered directly.
Shui Miao didn’t ask further but waited until she was inside a taxi heading to the airport before mentally communicating with Ghost officer, “Do you have any suggestions or plans to defeat it?”
“Just have Cai City God send a few helpers,” Ghost officer, sitting beside Shui Miao, replied mechanically.
Shui Miao was slightly taken aback, not expecting the matter to be so simple. “Alright then, have someone notify him.”
“Yes!”
Ghost officer responded with a “yes” but didn’t leave.
Shui Miao looked at Ghost officer, waited a while, and then asked, “Why haven’t you gone yet?”
“Reporting to Master, Zhui Feng has already gone. I can communicate with her through telepathy,” Ghost officer slowly turned her head to look at Shui Miao. “Master Yang Chashi, I must remind you that as Yang Chashi, you should personally eliminate these evil ghosts. Because each evil ghost you kill will grant you some Yin Virtue. Yin Virtue is extremely important for Yang Chashi, as it not only allows Yang Chashi to be promoted but also can be exchanged in the underworld for many special things.”
“Special things? Like what?”
Shui Miao’s curiosity suddenly surged.
Ghost officer calmly introduced, “Besides promotions, for example, increasing the lifespan of yourself or others; reviewing the past and future lives of yourself or others; finding clues about deceased relatives of yourself or others; exchanging for various soul cultivation techniques in the Fengdu Library of the underworld; blessing the descendants of yourself or others with Yin Virtue; and furthermore, when accumulated to a certain level, you can even attain supreme honor and receive guidance from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.”
“If that’s the case, does that mean I can search for my father’s soul!”
A sudden jolt surged through Shui Miao’s heart.
