Realm of the Night God

Chapter 48: Definitely Related to Her!

Master Jiang naturally taught Yang Haoran how to use Yin spirit power to dispel Yin Qi entangled on a target.

This method isn't difficult, devoid of any specific techniques. Just let the Yin spirit power manifest, whether condensed in the hands or on other objects, and forcefully attack to scatter the Yin Qi.

Of course, if the Yin Qi on the target is ridiculously strong, it wouldn't be so simple to easily scatter it with Yin spirit power. The Yin spirit power must reach a certain level to do so.

The Yin Qi surrounding Guanhai was quite strong, but only relative to Yang Haoran's current abilities. Having recently become a Night Watch, his experience was limited, and he hadn't witnessed any major scenes in this regard. So, in his eyes, the Yin Qi on Guanhai was quite dense.

Fortunately, the degree of Yin Qi density hadn't exceeded his abilities. Otherwise, trying to easily scatter the Yin Qi entangled on Guanhai would definitely be impossible for him.

Although he hadn't reopened his ghost eye to see if there was still Yin Qi on Guanhai, his perception of Yin energy persisted. Even without seeing, he could determine whether the Yin Qi on Guanhai had been dispelled through perception alone.

Yang Haoran was quite satisfied with Guanhai's facial expression reaction. He enjoyed seeing this guy looking shocked.

Guanhai had always been skeptical and had regarded him as a charlatan because Yang Haoran truly lacked real skills. So whenever Guanhai brought up this issue, Yang Haoran would just act his way through.

This was a sore spot for him. He really wanted to prove himself in front of his good buddy but unfortunately lacked the ability. Now that he had real skills, which he initially didn't want to showcase in front of Guanhai, he decided to do so anyway, satisfying his own vanity a little bit.

"Alright, no need to be shocked. There are many extraordinary people in this world, nothing to be surprised about," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Although he said this, the smug expression on his face was evident, and he secretly hoped Guanhai would be even more shocked.

"I've always believed that you, Yang, are a person with real skills. Although I've always said you're a charlatan, it's just to urge you to show some real skills. Now, seeing this, it seems I, Guanhai, haven't misjudged you!" Guanhai exclaimed excitedly.

If someone unfamiliar with Guanhai heard him say this now, seeing his excited expression, they would definitely think his words came from the depths of his heart.

But Yang Haoran knew Guanhai well. He had known this guy for a long time and understood his character like the back of his hand. Naturally, he didn't believe Guanhai's nonsense.

"You're just fooling around. If I believed you, I'd be seeing ghosts. But, although none of what you said is true, I must say, it sounds good," Yang Haoran responded with a smile.

"As long as it sounds good, that's all that matters. Do you need any other services, brother?" Guanhai asked obsequiously.

Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran felt uncomfortable. He felt a shiver down his spine for no reason.

"Don't disgust me. I don't need your services. I need to know some things about you," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"What else do you want to know? You know everything about me. There's nothing else to know," Guanhai replied.

Guanhai wanted to continue talking, but Yang Haoran's words shut him up.

"This matter concerns your life. If not dealt with promptly, you're done for," Yang Haoran said, his smile still there but Guanhai sensed he wasn't joking.

"Really?" Guanhai was somewhat skeptical, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly.

"Absolutely!" Yang Haoran's reply was firm.

With Yang Haoran's assurance, Guanhai stopped joking around, sat up straight, and became serious.

"What do you want to know?" Guanhai asked with confusion.

"What have you been up to lately? How did you end up entangled with so much Yin Qi for no reason? Have you come into contact with any strange people or things?" Yang Haoran asked.

Upon hearing this, Guanhai frowned and didn't immediately answer Yang Haoran. Instead, he seemed lost in thought.

In fact, Yang Haoran had already made some guesses. In his view, Guanhai's entanglement with Yin Qi was likely related to Wang Qing. Instead of directly pointing it out, he asked Guanhai this way to see if he was aware of the problem himself.

After pondering for a moment, Guanhai shook his head and said, "I don't seem to have come into contact with any strange people or things."

Yang Haoran was naturally dissatisfied with Guanhai's answer, but he didn't show it. Instead, he asked another seemingly unrelated question.

"What have you been busy with lately? Why haven't you called me?"

This sudden turn caught Guanhai off guard, and his expression changed suddenly.

Yang Haoran had been smiling and observing every change in Guanhai's expression. Seeing Guanhai's reaction, his smile grew even more pronounced.

"I've been busy lately, so I haven't had time to contact you. By the way, you haven't contacted me either. Where have you been?" Guanhai quickly changed the subject, but Yang Haoran wasn't buying it.

"Are you involved with that Wang Qing?" Yang Haoran hit the nail on the head.

Guanhai's expression changed again, then he chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Heh, you've caught me. Lately, I've been getting closer to this woman because you strongly opposed my getting close to her. So, to prevent you from feeling uncomfortable about her, I haven't contacted you during this time."

Yang Haoran wasn't surprised at Guanhai's response at all. When he saw Wang Qing at the hospital today, he already knew that Guanhai must be involved with this female college student named Wang Qing.

"Hai Zi, if you keep going on like this, one day you'll suffer a great loss because of a woman," Yang Haoran said, rare seriousness replacing the smile on his face as he warned Guanhai.

Guanhai seemed somewhat indifferent, smiling at Yang Haoran and saying, "I've been living like this for years. If something were to happen, it would've happened long ago. There's no waiting until now."

Yang Haoran shook his head, not agreeing with Guanhai's view. He continued, "Isn't being entangled with Yin Qi also considered a loss? If I'm not mistaken, your entanglement with Yin Qi must be related to Wang Qing!"

Seeing Yang Haoran speak so confidently, Guanhai was half doubtful, half believing. "Really?"

"I've sensed Yin Qi on her as well. But what's strange is that the Yin Qi on her is much weaker now compared to the first time I met her. On the contrary, the Yin Qi on you is quite dense," Yang Haoran said, furrowing his brow, causing Guanhai to ponder again while Yang Haoran seized the opportunity to continue.

"Before meeting her, you didn't have any Yin Qi on you. Since meeting her, you've been entangled with Yin Qi. She has Yin Qi on her, and during this time, you haven't come into contact with any strange people or things. If this matter isn't related to her, then I really don't know how the Yin Qi on you came about."

Having just witnessed Yang Haoran's abilities and seeing him speak so seriously now, Guanhai couldn't help but start doubting this woman named Wang Qing.

"Think again, has anything strange happened to you during this time?" Yang Haoran asked.

Guanhai furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, then shook his head. "During this time, I haven't contacted you. I've been frequently with Wang Qing, getting drunk every day. You know, my life is like this, never sober. If there's anything strange that happened, it's that my mental state has been deteriorating day by day."

"If you feel your mental state deteriorating, it means you've already been entangled with Yin Qi," Yang Haoran shook his head. Guanhai's words didn't provide any useful information.

However, Yang Haoran suddenly remembered something. When Jiang Zhenzhen was entangled by the Decaying Corpse Granny, she would have nightmares every night. So, he asked Guanhai, "Have you had any nightmares during this time?"

Upon hearing this, Guanhai chuckled bitterly, saying, "Heh, I've been having nightmares since I was a child. It's not just during this time."

Upon hearing that Guanhai had nightmares, Yang Haoran quickly asked, "Have you had any recurring nightmares, where the same person appears in them repeatedly?"

Guanhai thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I haven't."

This response caused Yang Haoran to furrow his brow, looking puzzled.

"Could it be that the Yin Qi on Hai Zi isn't from the undead, but from some other evil entity?" Yang Haoran couldn't help but think so.

There are many channels through which Yin Qi can form, not limited to the souls of the deceased. Guanhai being entangled with Yin Qi, yet not having recurring nightmares, led him to some other conjectures.

However, Guanhai had just made it very clear that he hadn't come into contact with any strange people or things during this time. So, how did he end up with Yin Qi on him?

Unable to figure it out, Yang Haoran still had a way. So, he said to Guanhai, "If we don't find out the source of your Yin Qi contamination, you're likely to be contaminated again. Although I can expel the Yin Qi from your body, in the long run, your body won't be able to handle it. So, we must find the problem and solve it to ensure you won't be harmed again."

"What should we do then?" Guanhai asked.

"I've already said, this matter must be related to Wang Qing, that female college student. To find the source, we must start with her. Rest for now, and in the evening, you can ask her out. You should be able to learn something from her," Yang Haoran said. "What if we don't get any useful information from her?" Guanhai asked with some worry.

"Then I'll have to think of another way. But rest assured, I'll handle this matter for you," Yang Haoran assured him.
