"[I also recorded the screen, when he was just calling for daddy to save him hahaha, I died laughing.]
[When the host was calling for daddy to save him, I suddenly felt it wasn’t that scary.]
[He has a nice cry, maybe call out a few more times, and don’t forget about that bet, okay?]
[At first, he was bragging about showing us what a real man is like, then he ends up crying, speechless.]
[Your daddy is your daddy, but wasn’t it still Qin Zhao who had to save him in the end?]
Xing Changqing was still somewhat in shock when Qin Zhao noticed his phone was live streaming and took it from him.
She saw the barrage of comments in the live stream and couldn’t help but curve her lips.
[Sister’s beauty is a critical hit, ah! I’m dead!]
[The moment she stood there, it was like the most sacred light in a dark world, able to dispel all fearsome auras, you guys know what I mean ahhh!]
[Qin Zhao is so cool, I’m truly in love!!]
[That said, congratulations Qin Zhao on gaining a son hahaha!]
[Qin Zhao, notice me, I’m your loyal fan!]
[Suddenly don’t know whether to envy Qin Zhao or her boyfriend.]
[Qin Zhao, was that a spell just now? Can you do another? Let us have a look!]
[Exactly, make another fireball for us to see!]
After Qin Zhao took over the phone, the live room was instantly flooded with various gifts and donations.
All sorts of rockets, cruise ships, airplanes filled the entire screen.
Xing Changqing, watching from the side, looked somewhat embarrassed.
He thought about the big talk he had given earlier and now didn’t dare make a sound, only trying to make himself less noticeable.
When Qin Zhao saw that many fans wanted her to perform a spell, she said indifferently, "What spell? I just threw a torch over there, you all saw it wrong."
After saying that, she added, "You should believe in science."
[?? You just made a ball of fire appear out of nowhere and you want us to believe in science?]
[Broad daylight and you’re holding a torch for what? Liar!]
[I don’t believe it, you definitely know magic!]
[Qin Zhao, just make one for us, I’ll keep sending rockets!]
[So in this world, are there really immortals and demons?]
Qin Zhao glanced at the barrage and then handed the phone back to Xing Changqing.
Xing Changqing nervously took the phone, afraid she would make him call her daddy in public.
Before heading to Wuchang Town, he had arrogantly said Qin Zhao would cry from fear, but in the end, it was he who cried and called Qin Zhao daddy, begging her to save him.
And it was all live-streamed, talk about embarrassing.
Fortunately, Qin Zhao didn’t really care about such trifles.
Qin Zhao might not care, but the internet has a memory.
[Hey, isn’t this Zhaozhao’s new son?]
[That ’daddy’ call was so loud just now, give us another shout.]
[Had the nerve to say Qin Zhao would cry? Ended up sobbing yourself.]
After Xing Changqing took over the phone, the barrage was all about him calling daddy and saying he was Qin Zhao’s good eldest son, leaving him so ashamed he temporarily shut down the live stream.
Qin Zhao went to the courtyard that had been burned to ashes to check things out.
In a corner of the wall, there was a crack, and that ghost must have escaped from there.
Lucky for it to have fled so quickly, otherwise it would have been burned by Qin Zhao until soul and spirit dispersed.
The Fierce Fire released by Qin Zhao was no ordinary flame.
The fire was filled with the purest and most yang energy, the thing that ghosts feared the most.
"Aside from making you eat those weeds and sending you beauties, what else happened in the illusion?"
Qin Zhao walked toward Xing Changqing with a solemn expression and inquired.
"There’s no such thing as a free lunch. A ghost offering gifts is most likely harboring an ulterior motive. And the fact that those transformed objects directly targeted Xing Changqing’s innermost desires signifies that the ghost had certain schemes in mind."
After Qin Zhao had saved Xing Changqing, his attitude toward her had finally changed, and deep down, he was somewhat wary of her abilities.
At this moment, when Qin Zhao inquired, he carefully recalled the experience.
"That man in the long gown asked me several times if I wanted to stay. He told me there were delicacies and beauties here, everything one could want, as long as I agreed to stay."
Qin Zhao suddenly realized, "He’s looking for a scapegoat."
"Have you ever heard of a water ghost?"
"Yes, we encountered one on an adventure once. Shangguan dealt with it."
When someone dies in water, under some special conditions, they can become a water ghost. A water ghost is trapped in the waters of their death, unable to leave forever, nor can they be reincarnated.
If a water ghost wishes to be reincarnated, someone else must drown in the water to take their place.
Recalling the water ghost, Xing Changqing’s face grew even paler.
"Do you mean that ghost wanted me to stay here?"
"More precisely, not you, but your soul to stay here. Only if your soul is trapped here can he leave. If you had agreed, you would have died instantly."
This was some sort of special ghost technique.
If the living person voluntarily agrees to stay, it signifies that they are willing to take the place of the original ghost.
After the ghost kills someone, it won’t accrue karma and can be successfully reincarnated. Otherwise, if the ghost is tainted with the sin of murder, the underworld would detect it during the soul’s crossing, leading to punishment.
"So that’s how it is."
Xing Changqing murmured with lingering fear, realizing how close he had been to agreeing.
"Qin Zhao, are you all okay?"
At that time, Si Xuekai and the others had found their way to them.
Chu Yan approached Qin Zhao with a serious expression and scrutinized her for a while.
Relieved that she was unharmed, he could finally breathe easier.
They had originally been checking the attic, but when they were about to leave, they couldn’t find Qin Zhao anywhere.
Qin Zhao had jumped through a window to get here, which is why they hadn’t seen her.
"It’s fine; he just encountered a ghost."
Qin Zhao briefly recounted the incident, and upon hearing it, Shangguan Qiu couldn’t help analyzing, "His attire, could it be a ghost from the Republic era? That’s quite some years ago."
If that was true, then it would be difficult to deal with.
"It should be. He’s trapped here for some reason, but why he targeted Xing Changqing instead of the other people who came here before, that’s unknown."
There had been quite a few people who had come to inspect the residence in the past, and it seemed none had lost their lives.
Maybe there had been deaths, but they had been covered up - it was also possible.
The group searched around the residence once more but still couldn’t find where the ghost was hiding.
The exposed yin energy of this large residence was probably due to him.
During the search, Xing Changqing stayed close to them, daring not to stray alone again.
As the sun set in the west and the sky darkened,
Shangguan Qiu said, "Let’s head back for now. The footage should be enough, and I can come back later tonight."
She wasn’t afraid of encountering the ghost, but needing to protect her teammates was somewhat restrictive.
Xing Changqing said quickly, the first to head toward the gate.
Today’s events had left a significant psychological impact on him. In his past adventures, he had always stayed close to Shangguan Qiu and never came so close to death.
And the series of events they had encountered on this adventure were the most bizarre yet.
They hadn’t even found the demon yet, and they had already come across such a formidable ghost!
