Chapter 1134: Ghost Substitute, Bitter Cries for Help
Chi Shuyan’s last few words were like a bombshell which blew everyone’s minds. Their blood froze.
Some of the more cowardly kids, such as Jiang Duo, Chang Hao and Wei Panyang, fainted on the stop. As for Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying, their wide, red eyes were filled with horror, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
The two of them suddenly covered their faces and lost their composure as they cried miserably.
Chi Shuyan had long expected this scene. After all, Brother Feng was so brave, yet he had been so scared just now, let alone these brats in front of her. Seeing them faint or cry bitterly, Chi Shuyan was helpless.
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying each suddenly hugged one of her legs and lost their composure as they wept with horror. “Master… Master Chi, please… save… save us, save us. We don’t want to die. Master Chi, save us…”
They regretted it! They regretted going to Swan Lake back then, and regretted even more not listening to other people’s advice. If they had listened, they wouldn’t be in such a wretched situation now.
Why them, why them?!
Previously, they thought that it was already bad enough if they had provoked an ordinary ghost, but Master Chi now told them that they were ‘lucky’ to have provoked a great ghost – they would rather not have such luck.
No wonder Master Chi had suddenly changed her mind and wanted to give them jade pendants. It was clear how serious the matter was. The more Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying thought about it, the more alarmed they became. Thinking about how that thing was a great ghost that could control other ghosts, their limbs turned to jelly.
Chi Shuyan’s head hurt at their incoherent cries for help. She had been worried that these boys wouldn’t be able to digest the information and would faint from fright. Now, she was quite glad that except for Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying, they had all fainted. Otherwise, the crying would have been even louder, and her head would have hurt even more.
Feng Yuanlin saw this scene when he came in after sending Father and Mother Wei away. He wasn’t surprised. It would be strange if these boys could remain calm when they heard what Shuyan had to say.
Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying subconsciously trembled when they heard the door open. They relaxed when they saw that it was Director Feng.
Even then, the two of them cried even louder.
Chi Shuyan was sitting on the couch, with the two boys hugging her legs. She couldn’t walk, so she could only get Brother Feng to wake the others up first. She also told the two boys to stop crying. The most important thing now was to resolve this matter first.
Only then did Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying stop crying, but their faces were very unsightly and haggard.
When Feng Yuanlin roused the others, he realized that a few of them had actually wet their pants. Feng Yuanlin sighed, not knowing whether or not he should lament their bad luck.
Even he couldn’t remain calm when faced with such a thing.
He just hoped that Shuyan would be able to subdue that great ghost immediately.
When Feng Yuanlin woke them up one by one, Jiang Duo, Chang Hao, and Wei Panyang were a little dazed at first. When they remembered Chi Shuyan’s words just now, they were so scared that their faces changed drastically and their vision turned black.
Chi Shuyan could only warn, “Don’t faint. If you do, I’ll leave first!”
Only then did the three of them not dare to faint again. Although Wei Panyang didn’t completely believe Chi Shuyan’s words, what she had just said was really too terrifying. Even if it was just a story, he was so scared that his whole body turned cold.
As for Jiang Duo and Chang Hao, they firmly believed in Chi Shuyan. They thought about what kind of great ghost they had provoked this time. It could control other ghosts into killing people wantonly. Thinking of what happened to the nurse, they were terrified and their blood ran cold.
Jiang Duo and Chang Hao also forgot that they were adults at that moment. They wailed and hugged Chi Shuyan’s legs as they sobbed and incoherently pleaded, “We were wrong! We were wrong! Master Chi… Please, save us!”
As soon as Jiang Duo and Chang Hao started crying, everyone except Wei Panyang also cried. They were heart-wrenching cries, with tears and snot involved.
Chi Shuyan pinched the space between her eyebrows and hurriedly consoled them, telling them not to cry. Feng Yuanlin also consoled them, but the more they comforted the boys, the more they cried.
“What should we do? What should we do? Master Chi, are… are we going to die?”
“Master Chi, are we really going to die? I… I don’t want to die! I miss my parents! I don’t want to die!”
At that moment, the boys were scared out of their wits and really wished they were unconscious like Shi Ran, who knew nothing. When they thought of Fang Yinglong, Jin Ming and the others, their expressions changed again.
Chi Shuyan saw that no matter how she comforted these adult brats, they cried even harder, so she could only threaten to leave if they didn’t stop.
Only then did they stop crying. However, they never let go of Chi Shuyan, and only seemed more at ease when they were hugging her legs.
At that moment, Feng Yuanlin sat on the couch and said, “If it was going to be like this, why did you have to do it in the first place? Are you going to do something like that again?”
“Wah, we don’t dare anymore! We don’t dare anymore!”
“Master Chi, are we… really going to die?”
“Master Chi, I really don’t want to die!”
“I don’t want to die either!”
Seeing that the boys were about to cry again, Chi Shuyan could only use the jade pendant as bait, and said that she would give them one each tomorrow. As long as they had the jade pendant, they should be fine.
As she spoke, she took out a lot of talismans from her pocket, including Exorcism Talismans and a few high-grade Guiding Lightning Talismans, and gave them to the boys
The talismans were immediately divided among everyone, including Wei Panyang. Now that it was a life or death situation, Wei Panyang understood that there was no harm in listening to the others. As for whether or not this woman in front of him was a real Celestial Master, he didn’t know yet, but there was no harm in keeping a few talismans in his pocket.
Chi Shuyan glanced at Wei Panyang a few times and was quite satisfied with his sensible behavior this time. Thinking of Father and Mother Wei, she took out a few more talismans and handed them to Wei Panyang for his parents, just in case. She said, “There’s no need to explain anything. Just give them these talismans and tell them not to throw them away. Just say that it’s from your heart!”
Father and Mother Wei wouldn’t believe him if he said too much. If Wei Panyang said it was from his heart, they probably wouldn’t think much of it and would only think that he had good intentions!
