The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 95 - 92: The Wall that Bleeds

Chapter 95: Chapter 92: The Wall that Bleeds

The next day, Qin Zhao had just woken up when she received a call from Su Xiaotong.

"Zhaozhao, my friend has encountered a supernatural event and asked me to seek your help. Can you take a look? It’s Wei Mingna, the one we met at the bar last time. She’ll offer a reward."

"Sure, set up a time to meet."

Qin Zhao had spent quite a bit of money on a Pill Furnace, but it had exploded, and now she needed money to buy materials to refine a new one herself, so she was strapped for cash and needed to earn some extra money.

After she got up and washed up, she found breakfast on the table; Chu Yan had already gone to work.

Saying he had gone to work wasn’t quite accurate; he was in a rush to do a genetic test.

Yesterday, while Qin Zhao was out, Chu Yan had picked up two strands of her hair from her room.

Just as Qin Zhao sat down to eat, Tengshe’s little paws reached over.

"What medicinal herbs did you take a fancy to at the drugstore last time?"

Tengshe, munching on bread, mumbled, "Dragon Blood Ginseng."

The Dragon Blood Ginseng that had caught his eye was sure to be aged.

And that thing is pretty expensive.

"This stuff is very pricey in the Human World."

"Can’t we just steal it?"

"No."

Tengshe’s cheeks puffed out in dissatisfaction.

If it weren’t for the constraints of their contract, he would have robbed the herb store clean.

Qin Zhao sighed, "I can buy it for you."

"That’s more like it."

This woman finally said something decent.

"But buying the Dragon Blood Ginseng is expensive, and I don’t have much in savings, so it might not be enough."

Tengshe declared loftily, "I’ll go steal some money for you."

Qin Zhao looked at him and saw his eyes sparkling as if he was saying,

That way we can buy it! Aren’t I clever?!

Qin Zhao’s mouth twitched, "You can’t steal money in the Human World either."

"What else can we do then? You humans live so complicatedly!"

"If you don’t follow the rules, someday someone powerful will take away your things."

"I am the most powerful one!"

Little brat! Qin Zhao couldn’t be bothered to argue with him anymore and directly said, "So I can’t go find Dragon Horn today. I need to earn money to buy you Dragon Blood Ginseng!"

She had gone around in circles, but Qin Zhao’s goal was just that.

She didn’t want Tengshe running out and causing trouble while she was working.

Tengshe, although he had lived for a thousand years, was still a child to the demons, and his cultivation was just a long slumber, so he had not experienced the harshness of society.

So, he believed Qin Zhao’s fib.

"Okay, then you better hurry up and make money."

Qin Zhao nodded and then said, "Have you finished eating? Go wash the dishes."

"Why should I wash the dishes?"

"Because I’m going to work to earn money later. Do you know how tiring that is?

So I need to save my energy, otherwise, if I don’t make enough money, I can’t buy Dragon Blood Ginseng."

Hearing Qin Zhao’s words, Tengshe conjured up an image in his little head of him reverting to his true form, carrying those massive trees, and huffing and puffing as he worked.

Tengshe didn’t realize she had to work so hard to earn money, so he thought washing dishes wouldn’t be so bad.

The little tyke grabbed a stool and went to wash the dishes.

"Wash them well, I’m off to make money now."

Hearing this, Tengshe put a bit more effort into washing the dishes.

He gleefully thought to himself that all he had to do was wash a few dishes, and he could get Qin Zhao to do all the dirty, tiring work and earn money to buy Dragon Blood Ginseng for him. He felt that initiating a relationship with Qin Zhao was absolutely brilliant!

Little did he know, he was the easiest to fool in the family.

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan were truly better at manipulating snakes than the other.

Receiving a message from Su Xiaotong on his phone, Qin Zhao took a taxi to the agreed-upon spot.

Su Xiaotong and Wei Mingna stood together, and compared to the last time when Wei Mingna was dressed in a suit and surrounded by handsome men, this time she looked much more haggard.

"Zhaozhao, I’m so glad you’re here!"

Seeing Qin Zhao, Su Xiaotong frowned.

"I just heard about what happened at Mingna’s place and I’m really freaked out."

"What exactly happened?"

Wei Mingna sighed, "Let’s go inside, the police came today as well. We’ll talk as we walk."

They had agreed to meet at the entrance of the residential complex.

"This apartment, I just bought it and moved in last month. But after living here for a few days, I noticed problems. At first, the walls would bleed for no reason, and then these past few days, even stranger things happened."

"The walls would bleed?"

Wei Mingna nodded, saying with palpable fear, "Yes, that wall is in my bedroom. One morning, I woke up to several drops of fresh blood on my face, and I was absolutely terrified."

"Is there anything else besides that?"

Wei Mingna’s complexion paled, and she didn’t respond.

Su Xiaotong, with a grave expression, answered for her, "She saw a ghost."

The atmosphere suddenly became eerie, and as the three of them entered the elevator, they all inexplicably felt a chill.

When they got to Wei Mingna’s apartment, the door was open, and there were quite a few people inside.

"I saw it last night, so I called the police today."

The police inside were inspecting her bedroom, and the property management of the complex was also there.

"It really is seeping blood."

Su Xiaotong saw the blood-stained wall of the bedroom and her scalp tingled.

The originally light-colored wall had patches of bright red bloodstains on it.

Because the blood always dripped down, Wei Mingna had tried to wipe it off with a cloth, resulting in an even greater area smeared with blood, looking just like a crime scene.

"Could there be a body hidden inside the wall?"

"That’s impossible," the property management said decisively. "This is a high-end complex, and the walls are solid; they are all concrete, and you simply can’t hide a body in there."

At this moment, there was some noise from the door.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and the person spoke up, "I was in charge of the renovation here before."

"Come take a look at this wall, and tell us what’s going on."

He stepped forward and studied the blood-coated wall for a while, his expression showing little change.

"Let’s rip off the wallpaper."

At this suggestion, the police officers stepped forward to help tear down the wallpaper.

After the wallpaper was removed, everyone was shocked to see a large patch of blood seeping out from behind it.

The renovation leader calmly explained, "It’s nothing serious; it’s a special glue we use. It turns red when exposed to moisture."

Wei Mingna, pale as a sheet, said, "But there is a smell of blood."

"That’s not the smell of blood; it’s just the smell of rust."

The renovation leader thought of the construction scene he had seen before coming in and explained further, "I saw that they were replacing the tiles outside your building just before I came in. The original tiles had all been removed.

The weather has been quite damp lately, and it even rained last night. The moisture seeped in and caused the glue to change like this. It’s nothing serious, don’t worry."

"But last night I also saw a ghostly figure."

"That could be psychological."

The police officer dipped his finger into the liquid and also confirmed, "This isn’t fresh blood."

Su Xiaotong couldn’t help but retort, "But this is a high-end residential area, not some old building. Just putting up tiles on the outside, how could it possibly get damp inside? Besides, no one else’s home has this problem."
