Chapter 285: Chapter 283 Obedient by day, fierce by night

Besides the blood-drenched male ghost, several wandering souls suddenly appeared outside, greedily fixing their gaze on the elderly woman. They were all summoned by her son to assist him.

To avenge himself, he was willing to share with these ghosts, his own flesh and blood son.

"You... you’re a beast! I should never have given birth to you!"

The elderly woman shook her head in sorrow, "As long as I’m here today, none of you can harm Xiaoshui. Otherwise, we’ll all perish together!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha, just you, an old ghost?"

"You think you can perish with us? What a foolish dream!"

"Brothers, charge! The flesh and blood of a child is the purest and tastiest, whoever grabs it first gets an extra mouthful!"

The eyes of the wandering souls in front of her turned an excited crimson as they charged at the old woman, accompanied by their shrill, wild laughter.

"Old hag! You’ll be doomed to soul dispersion!"

The blood-drenched male ghost gloated as he watched his once mother.

"Even so, I will not let you succeed!"

Suddenly, a powerful energy burst forth from the old woman, blocking the ghosts outside the house, while her soul began to fade.

Just as she had said, she was prepared to stop them at the cost of her own demise.

The children in the house remained asleep, completely unaware of the storm raging outside.

Bang, bang, bang.

The cold wind made the iron gate rattle louder and louder.

"Ahh!"

The ghosts in sight screamed agonizingly.

But there were still a few untouched wandering souls, mockingly watching the old woman about to disappear.

"She’s about to disperse, let’s go, let’s devour that boy!"

The old woman saw them about to enter the house, a strong sense of unwillingness surged in her eyes.

But she was powerless.

Just as she was about to vanish, all the eerie noises halted.

A powerful golden light burst out on the iron gate, instantly turning the touched ghosts to ash, and Qin Zhao and Chu Yan walked over from around the corner.

Qin Zhao used a spell to protect the old woman’s soul, preventing her from dispersing.

As for the other wandering souls, they were unclean beings tainted with human life, which Qin Zhao readily exterminated.

It took a long time for the old woman to come around.

She looked at Qin Zhao, recognizing her as one of the people who had just arrived.

"You... are you a Heavenly Master?"

Qin Zhao nodded, confirming her guess.

"Thank you! Thank you for your help!"

The old woman thanked her excitedly; if Qin Zhao hadn’t arrived in time, even dispersing her soul wouldn’t have stopped the ghosts from harming her grandson.

To her dying day, she never imagined her own son would be so utterly heartless.

"Go and be reincarnated," Qin Zhao told her. "As for your karmic retribution, the underworld will make its own judgment. Staying beside your grandson for too long will only worsen his health."

"I know, but he’s just a child, how will he live on his own?"

A look of sorrow filled the old woman’s eyes.

Her grandson must have sensed something, which is why he pleaded with her not to leave.

Qin Zhao sighed, saying, "I will take him to the local orphanage. Having gotten through this calamity, if his nature is resilient, he will have his own good fortune in the future."

"Then I must trouble Lord Heavenly Master."

The old woman wanted to spend one more night with her grandson, so Qin Zhao didn’t send her to be reincarnated right away.

She and Chu Yan returned to the hotel first, planning to take the little boy to the orphanage tomorrow, and then send the old woman on to reincarnation.

As they arrived at the hotel entrance, they encountered Shangguan Jing smoking at the doorstep.

"Resolved?"

"Yeah, we’ll take the little guy to the welfare institute tomorrow."

Qin Zhao briefly explained what had happened to Shangguan Jing.

Shangguan Jing couldn’t help but sigh, "What a dog thing, not even human, selling his own son. In this world, the scariest things are never ghosts or monsters, it’s always the human heart."

"If they don’t want to raise a child, they shouldn’t have one."

The old man had told Qin Zhao about that man’s affairs, and her heart also felt uneasy.

"Most men can’t control their lower half; they never think about the kids that might come after they finish their business, or the money and effort it takes to raise them."

"What if they have the money to raise the child but aren’t willing to acknowledge it?"

Chu Yan suddenly asked.

Shangguan Jing replied without thinking, "Maybe they don’t like the child’s mother, huh? Isn’t that just how those rich people are? Keep three or four wives, a bunch of illegitimate children. If the mother has a high status, the child is favored, just like the ancient imperial harem."

"Actually, men are pretty bad, whether they have money or not, so young lady, be careful." Shangguan Jing looked at Qin Zhao with a meaningful glance and winked at her.

"Don’t you think the rooms in this inn have a special character?"

"...."

Qin Zhao’s face was burning up, and she hurriedly pulled Chu Yan back to their room.

The whole archaeological team was full of single dogs; only they were a married couple and Shangguan Qiu had accidentally booked such a room, it was simply mortifying!

-

The next morning, Qin Zhao dared not rise too late, afraid that Shangguan Jing would tease them again.

As they were leaving, Chu Yan whispered to her, "It’s kind of fun to have a big mirror by the bed, how about we install one when we get back?"

Thinking about last night’s events, Qin Zhao turned and glared at him.

"If you don’t speak, I won’t take you for a mute."

Chu Yan sighed, "Qin Zhao, you’re like two different people during the day and at night."

At night she was cuter, more allowing of his whims.

(～￣▽￣)～

Qin Zhao couldn’t be bothered with him; if possible, she wished she could pack Chu Yan off back to Imperial City.

As for what Chu Yan said, Qin Zhao wanted to say the same to him. This guy was so obedient during the day but turned so fierce at night, saying they’re like two different people was an understatement!

A human by day, he becomes a different creature by night!

They went downstairs and walked around, even grabbing some breakfast.

Turns out Shangguan Jing and the others hadn’t gotten up yet, so they first took Xiaoshui to the welfare institute and then sent the old man’s soul off for reincarnation.

By the time the others got up and Shangguan Qiu came looking for them, it was already noon.

Shangguan Jing with his hair looking like a bird’s nest commented, "Why did you guys get up so early? I told them yesterday, no need to rise early today; you guys definitely wouldn’t be able to."

Qin Zhao’s mouth twitched, "Uncle Jing, you’re really too considerate."

"Of course." Shangguan Jing grinned, "You’re so powerful, you should have more kids to inherit your talent and abilities; only then can our Heavenly Master Sect grow and flourish."

"..."

Why was this old man so annoying?

She ran outside precisely because she didn’t want Qin Wan pressuring her into having kids.

And now Shangguan Jing was doing it too?

Chu Yan even nodded in agreement, "Uncle Jing makes sense."

Qin Zhao gave him a chilly look, but Chu Yan said with utter sincerity, "I’ll work hard."

Damn it, did this guy deserve another smack?

Angry, Qin Zhao secretly pinched him several times, leaving bruises on his waist.

Chu Yan: "...." T^T
