Yang Kai’s cry for help caused you to turn your gaze, seeing him being subdued by the creature with long limbs, you couldn’t help but laugh and held up three fingers, saying, "Add three more meals."
"Come on, you’ve got to pick your times for robbery!" While talking, the creature suddenly bowed its head and let out a roar at Yang Kai, drenching his face with its disgusting saliva.
"Glasses, let’s go check out other places and leave this to Little Kai."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Kai quickly shouted, "Okay! Three meals it is! Big brother, my lord! Come and help me, quick!"
With a face full of triumphant mischief, you chuckled, immediately taking out a Cinnabar Talisman from your pocket and walking towards Yang Kai.
Seeing you approaching, the creature suddenly stretched out a hand towards your neck, scratching fiercely.
You sidestepped slightly and stepped forward quickly, sticking the Cinnabar Talisman on the creature’s head.
The moment the Cinnabar Talisman touched the creature, it dissipated with a howl.
Liao Yong pulled Yang Kai up from the ground, joking, "You didn’t see how that girl ran faster than Liu Feixiang just now, really can’t figure out what you’re thinking, spending your extra time on people like her."
Wei Shuxian also added, "I guess this guy’s been lovesick recently."
"You guys can say whatever you want, but I’ve made up my mind to find a girlfriend. College life is so boring, who can understand my loneliness?" Yang Kai patted his back with some depression, "Ah, my goddess, my true love, where are you?"
Suddenly, a soft and ethereal voice came from all around.
The four of you were immediately startled!
"Who’s there? Come out!" Liao Yong shouted, positioning his burly body in front of Yang Kai.
"You’ve come, you’ve finally come... This humble one has waited for you for so long."
The voice echoed through the entire villa, making it impossible to pinpoint her location.
Just from the voice, it seemed to be a young woman, or rather, a female ghost.
"Are you, are you talking to me?" Yang Kai didn’t know what possessed him, as he quickly stepped forward, shouting into the vacant living room.
"Yes, my dear husband, come quickly."
Yang Kai’s body started to sway, and even his eyes, which always carried a cunning sparkle, became confused.
"Little Kai, hold firm to your spirit!"
You hastily tapped Yang Kai on the shoulder.
But Yang Kai did not respond to your calls and dashed up to the second floor, running and shouting, "I’m coming, I’m coming."
"No good, catch him quick!"
The three of you immediately chased after him, but for some reason, Yang Kai’s running speed today was noticeably faster than usual, and he disappeared around a corner.
"What do we do now?" Wei Shuxian’s expression was very serious as he turned to look at you, "Old Shu, Little Kai is our brother, no matter what, we can’t let anything happen to him."
"Don’t worry, he’ll be fine. The female ghost just now seems to have resonated with Little Kai’s soul, which is extremely rare. They must have a connection from a past life to this one." You took two steps forward, observing the surrounding environment.
Your current position was at a corner, with corridors on both the left and the right, not too long but each with several rooms.
The floor you were standing on was made of old-fashioned solid wood, perhaps due to its age, there were slight gaps between the boards that made "creak, creak" sounds as you walked on it.
"Glasses, you and Black Bull head to the right, I’ll go left," you said, and then you took out four cinnabar talismans from your pocket, giving two to Wei Shuxian and two to Liao Yong, "Be careful. This female ghost is not easy to deal with. The entire villa is under her enchantment, and now she is akin to the villa’s House Commander."
Wei Shuxian and Liao Yong nodded solemnly. After the incident at the training ground, Yang Kai and the three others intentionally asked you about the Townhouse Generals, and you explained to them.
The so-called Townhouse Generals are a forbidden technique employed by ancient aristocratic families.
In ancient China, society was formed around the family unit, with large families having many members and ample lands.
To ensure the continuity of their family lineage, many families would select the strongest soul from among their deceased members through secret techniques and refine that person into their Townhouse General.
This practice was undeniably agonizing for the souls of the deceased since they were prevented from entering the cycle of reincarnation. As long as the family shrine remained, and as long as descendants continued to worship them, they would forever guard the entire family, immortal and indestructible.
The old lady you encountered in the Wu Family Old House was the Townhouse General there. Typically, a Townhouse General would only appear when the family faced calamity, and within the old house’s territory—the shrine—they possessed formidable mana; the older the shrine, the more powerful the inhabiting Townhouse General would be.
Although this female ghost was far from reaching the old lady’s level, she had certainly turned this villa into her domain during this period, making her the BOSS of this villa!
You stepped forward and moved slowly toward the left, arriving at the door of the nearest room. With a cinnabar talisman in your left hand and the doorknob in your right, you slowly pushed the door open.
What appeared before you was an empty room, with only some simple furniture inside. You scanned the room with your left eye, then closed the door and headed to another room.
Like the previous one, this room was also empty.
"Old Shu, come quickly!"
Hearing Wei Shuxian’s shouting, you immediately turned and rushed out.
"Have you found Little Kai yet?"
You saw that Wei Shuxian and Liao Yong were both standing outside a half-open door.
Both men had a strange expression—how should one put it?—it was a mix of curiosity and embarrassment.
Wei Shuxian glanced at you and then pointed inside the room.
You walked over, turned your head, and took a look inside.
You quickly covered your blinding, titanium dog eyes, turned your head and your body, and yelped, "No peeping at indecencies!"
"Old Shu, what’s going on in there?" Liao Yong’s face was somewhat flushed.
You cleared your throat, "Let me take another look."
With that, your left eye felt slightly warm as you turned your head back to look inside.
Now, in the room, on the bed, cough!
To put it plainly, Yang Kai was shagging with a woman on the bed!
Well, to be precise, with a female ghost—a rather attractive female ghost, at that.
"Should we go in and save him?" asked Liao Yong.
"Save what? I think the kid is quite excited. As a brother, we should wait outside," Wei Shuxian said with a laugh, shaking his head and moving to stand a bit further away, out of sight, out of mind.
Liao Yong seemed genuinely concerned for Yang Kai, "But won’t the kid get drained dry?"
You shook your head, drawing your gaze back, "The house is under an enchantment, and with the current situation, we shouldn’t forcefully break through. Let’s wait a bit longer."
With that, you slowly closed the door.
