Chapter 232: Accidentally Kissed

Second Master Fan shuddered. "Brother, is this really the time to argue about that? Right now, we need to figure out why there’s a dead body buried here."

Fan Shizhong also realized this and could only glare at him. "We’ll settle the score later." He turned to Nanli. "Princess, it’s certain that the geomancer did this. If we dig out the headless corpse, will that solve the problem?"

Second Master Fan was shocked to hear his brother address her as "Princess" and couldn’t help but size up Nanli.

Nanli shook her head gently. "This situation has been going on for years. The resentment and ominous energy have accumulated so strongly. If we disturb it recklessly, not only the Fan family but the entire city of Ruyang will be invaded by the resentment and ominous energy."

Fan Shizhong was so angry his blood was boiling, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

"Sixth Sister, do you have a solution?" Xie Beihan asked.

"I need to find the locations of the other headless corpses and then come up with a plan," Nanli said.

There are more headless corpses?

The two brothers of the Fan family were almost about to faint. So, for all these years, they had been living with these headless corpses?

Xie Beihan, feeling energetic, pleaded, "Sixth Sister, let me use the compass. I’ll find them."

He had studied hard, and he had to put it into practice.

The Ninth Prince said he had no talent, but Xie Beihan didn’t believe it.

Nanli didn’t mind and handed him the compass.

Xie Beihan carefully took it, full of ambition. But when he saw the pointer on the compass constantly swinging, never stopping, he was at a loss. How could he find the burial site?

After fiddling with it for a while, Fan Shizhong couldn’t help but speak up. "Noble Prince Xie, just do what you’re capable of. Why don’t you let the Princess handle it? It’s already getting dark."

Xie Beihan felt somewhat discouraged and handed the compass over. "Sixth Sister, it’s better if you do it."

Nanli could only comfort him. "Don’t feel useless. There’s resentment and ominous energy all over the Fan family mansion, so the compass behaves like this. Even a capable Taoist priest might not be able to accurately find the remaining locations."

Xie Beihan pursed his lips. "I’ll listen to the Ninth Prince and focus on entering officialdom. I’m just not talented in this."

His emotions came and went quickly, and soon he urged Nanli to find the remaining locations.

Because the Fan family mansion was large, Nanli led the way to several places. After digging, they found similar headless corpses each time.

The last location was in a small courtyard.

When they arrived, Fan Shizhong’s expression changed because it was his daughter’s courtyard.

It was almost dark, even though it was summer. The evening breeze was unusually chilly.

Fan Yunxi came out of her room, feeling strange to see so many people. Among the crowd were the young man and woman she had seen at noon, which surprised her even more.

"Dad, what’s going on?" Fan Yunxi asked, her voice slightly shy.

Fan Shizhong hurriedly called her over. "Don’t ask now. Go to the main hall and wait for me to finish before I explain to you."

Seeing her father’s serious expression, Fan Yunxi obediently didn’t ask any more questions and was about to leave the courtyard.

But in an instant, the sky above the mansion suddenly darkened, and a strong cold wind blew. Fan Yunxi’s feet seemed to be bound, unable to move, and she felt a hint of panic. "Dad, I..."

Under the plum tree in the courtyard, a black mist burst out of the ground and rushed towards Fan Yunxi.

Nanli’s face was stern. She immediately used a dispelling charm, and golden light exploded, slightly protecting Fan Yunxi. However, the Five Killing Headless Evil Corpse Formation in the Fan family mansion had been established for a long time. The black mist was not easy to deal with and didn’t dissipate at all, just temporarily forced back. Moreover, not only in the air but even underground, it was filled with ominous energy!

Nanli could force back the mist in the air but not underground.

Fan Yunxi was now surrounded by bad luck and had no fortune. The ominous energy invaded her body effortlessly. In an instant, her whole body was enveloped in ominous energy, her eyes hollow and vicious, her lips turning purple, and her nails turning black.

She had lost control of her mind, like a ferocious beast, pouncing on Fan Shizhong.

"Xi’er!" Fan Shizhong exclaimed.

Nanli immediately drew out the Dark Moon Sword and swung it, but she couldn’t cut off the ominous energy on Fan Yunxi’s body. Seeing Fan Yunxi about to attack others again, Nanli took out the Heavenly Star Pen with her left hand, gathering golden light at the tip of the pen to quickly draw a paralyzing charm.

However, when the charm landed on Fan Yunxi, it was mostly engulfed by the ominous energy. Nanli was shocked and retracted both the Heavenly Star Pen and the Dark Moon Sword, reinforcing the effect of the paralyzing charm with hand seals. Fan Yunxi was temporarily immobilized.

Nanli hurriedly said, "One of you young men, transfer some positive energy into her mouth!"

"Princess!?" Fan Shizhong widened his eyes. "My daughter is still a virgin! Isn’t there any other way?!"

"Her energy is too weak, lacking in positive energy. This method of transferring positive energy can weaken the effect of the ominous energy," Nanli said, sweat beading on her forehead. "Right now, not only her body but even her soul is entangled by the ominous energy. Forcibly dispelling it would only harm her soul. This is the only way."

There were many young servants accompanying them, and they were all young men capable of transferring positive energy. They immediately volunteered:

"I’ll save Miss Four!"

"You? I saw you flirting with the maid yesterday. Do you have enough positive energy?"

"Don’t fight, I’ll do it! I’m willing to go through fire and water for the master and Miss!"

...

The servants all knew that whoever transferred this positive energy would be favored by the Fan family. It was such a great opportunity; how could they not vie for it? After arguing for a while, they even started fighting.

Second Master Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Ah! What a misfortune for our family. Princess, today I’ll put aside my dignity..."

"Don’t bother. At your age, even you don’t have enough positive energy, so how can you transfer it to others?" Nanli ruthlessly refused.

"...", Second Master Fan felt like he had lost all his face.

Seeing the servants fighting and Fan Shizhong unable to make a decision, Nanli simply glared at Xie Beihan. "You go!"

"Huh? Me?" Xie Beihan waved his hands frantically. "I can’t do it. I’m not a virgin."

"Not being a virgin is fine. Your concubine has been dismissed for a long time, so your positive energy should have recovered," Nanli said, kicking him over.

Xie Beihan was still struggling, but unexpectedly, with a stumble, he fell onto Fan Yunxi. Their bodies were pressed closely together, and Xie Beihan’s face immediately turned red.

Seeing him stunned, Nanli shouted impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Open her mouth and blow a few breaths in!"

So that was how it worked!

Xie Beihan relaxed and pried open Fan Yunxi’s mouth, quickly blowing a few breaths inside. However, the two of them were very close, and Xie Beihan even noticed the small hairs on Fan Yunxi’s face.

So... cute!

Xie Beihan was lost in thought for a moment, and with a slip of his foot, his lips accidentally met Fan Yunxi’s!
