1828 Old Liang Family Residence, Life-saving Jade Pendant
As soon as he cried out, there was the sound of the door being kicked open. Before Qi Hao could be happy, a black mass covered his entire body.
When Chi Shuyan kicked the door open and came in, she saw Haozi lying weakly on the floor with a pale face. The dense mass of corpse bugs around him quickly disappeared without a trace in the golden light of the jade pendant.
Chi Shuyan’s face changed slightly and she immediately walked over. “Haozi!”
Qi Hao was too agitated this time. When he heard his sister-in-law call to him, his eyes turned red and he shouted, “Sister-in-law!”
“It’s fine, it’s fine!” Chi Shuyan had the kid lean on her shoulder, and she patted the back of his head patiently to comfort him.
After more than half an hour, Qi Hao gradually calmed down. However, when he thought of how dark it had been just now, he still felt lingering fear. He had been so close, so close to following in the footsteps of that He woman. He thought of his body filling up with bugs and even becoming a vessel for them to lay eggs.
Qi Hao wanted to vomit just thinking about it. It was disgusting.
Seeing Haozi cry and retch, Chi Shuyan also knew that he had gotten too much of a shock tonight, so she hurriedly patted his back and let him know that he was fine.
“Sister-in-law, even if I’m going to die, I don’t want to die in such a disgusting way, like those two women,” Qi Hao cried.
“It’s really fine, it’s fine. Don’t worry, Sister-in-law won’t let anything happen to you. We’ll be able to go back to the Qi residence after tomorrow night,” Chi Shuyan consoled him.
Qi Hao was traumatized, but when he heard his sister-in-law say that they would be able to leave this d*mn place and return to the capital after tomorrow night, he finally calmed down completely and heaved a sigh of relief. However, his eyes were still red, and he said regretfully, “Sister-in-law, if I had known earlier, I would have let you come in with me. If I need to pee again later, Sister-in-law, you must follow me!”
“No problem!” Chi Shuyan patted his back and told him to hurry up and sleep. “We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”
“Sister-in-law, if we hold on for another night, can we really leave this godforsaken place?” Qi Hao asked.
“Mm. Don’t worry, Sister-in-law will definitely take you away from this place. It’s my fault for rashly bringing you here.” If she had known that something might happen to Haozi, she wouldn’t have brought him along.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the jade pendant was useful against corpse bugs… she didn’t dare imagine what could have happened to Haozi.
Chi Shuyan was both very glad and scared at that moment. If something really happened to Haozi, how would she explain it to Qi Zhenbai and the Qi family?
Qi Hao didn’t think much of it. Hearing his sister-in-law’s apology, he felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly scratched the back of his head and refuted, “Sister-in-law, I was the one who wanted to come in on my own. It had nothing to do with you.”
“Okay, go back and sleep first. You’ll forget everything when you wake up tomorrow.” As soon as Chi Shuyan finished speaking, there was suddenly a knock on the door.
Chi Shuyan told Qi Hao to go back and sleep first, and went to open the door herself.
“Sister-in-law, be careful.” Because of what just happened, Qi Hao felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he wasn’t in a hurry to go back to the bedroom, but followed his sister-in-law.
Chi Shuyan went to open the door and saw Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen standing there anxiously. The two of them were so anxious that they didn’t see Qi Hao standing behind Chi Shuyan for a moment. They hurriedly asked, “Celestial Master Chi, we… we heard Brother Qi scream just now. Did… something happen to him?”
Qi Hao’s sudden interruption startled Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu. They saw that he really was fine, and their lips twitched hard when they accepted his explanation. After confirming that he was fine, Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu finally relaxed.
She didn’t tell them what kind of talisman it was, and just told them to carry it on them.
Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen thanked her gratefully. Thinking of Celestial Master Chi’s abilities, the two of them obediently took this thing, just in case.
After Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen left and Chi Shuyan closed the door, Qi Hao couldn’t help but sigh. “I didn’t expect to make two sincere friends in just a few days. This trip wasn’t in vain. Even if something really happens, I’ll accept it, hehe!”
As soon as he said that, Chi Shuyan smacked him on his back and told him to stop talking nonsense.
As if sensing his sister-in-law’s dangerous gaze, Qi Hao chuckled and quickly covered his mouth. As he walked toward the bedroom, he lamented, “Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen are really good people. If I had heard my own scream just now, I wouldn’t have dared to knock on the door to check. By the way, Sister-in-law, what talisman did you give them just now?”
“A Tracking Talisman.”
“Oh! I thought you gave them an Exorcism Talisman!”
“I’m not sure if the Exorcism Talisman can be used here, but if something happens to them, I’ll know through the Tracking Talisman.” These two brats indeed had good characters, and she could be considered to have returned a favor on Haozi’s behalf to them.
“By the way, Sister-in-law, don’t you know how to read physiognomy? Can you see if Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu can also leave here safely the day after tomorrow?”
“I can’t read physiognomy here, but you can ask them for their birth characters for me to read.”
“Oh! Then, I’ll ask tomorrow!”
