Chapter 091: Haunted by a Ghost

“Kill her!” A familiar voice echoed from the depths of the alley, it was Liu Binglian.
Liu Huanxi couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing the voice, thinking to herself that Liu Binglian actually had the guts to summon so many zombies to deal with her?! This really underestimated her.
No, why is she still chanting spells? The Daoist's spell—when did she learn these? Liu Hanxi grew more and more puzzled as she listened.
The ghostly corpse heard the command and quickened its pace, almost bouncing as it swiftly approached her.
The best strategy is to escape. Although Liu Hanxi has spells at her disposal, her primary instinct is still to run. The moment she turns around, however, she finds herself being flanked by four others, who are closing in on her from both sides.
Then there’s no choice but to fight.
Liuhuanxi closed her eyes and calmed her mind, extending her right hand, and in her palm appeared a small bow with three short arrows glowing with fire.
This was one of her frequently used magical tools— the Youhuang Bow.
She drew her bow and shot directly ahead, hitting a ghostly corpse with one of her three arrows. The corpse was first immobilized, with only its limbs thrashing wildly, then it ignited, emitting a horrifying howl from its mouth.
At this moment, a loud roar came from behind her. She turned around to see that Xiao Xuan had revealed its true form, a giant dog the size of a cow. Its fur had become even more vibrant, emitting a rainbow glow, and its large mouth was wide open, with teeth several inches long.
“No!” Liu Hanxi shouted, but she couldn't stop Xiao Xuan from jumping up and pouncing on the nearest zombie, biting into it. The first bite tore off its arm, and the second bite crushed its head.
“When you go back, you have to brush your teeth ten times! No, fifty times! Otherwise, don't even think about me hugging you!” Liu Hanxi said to Xiao Xuan with a look of disdain.
Xiao Xuan was obviously having a great time, completely ignoring what Liu Hanxi was saying, howling and pouncing onto another one.
“Aiyi, it stinks to death!” Liu Hanxi shot another one in front of her while pulling out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, tying it at the back of her head.
Liu Hanxi put away her bow, and two clusters of herbs appeared in her hands, releasing light smoke. She softly chanted a spell, causing the ghostly corpses to stop their frenzied movements and gradually quiet down. Then, several golden threads flew out from her sleeves, with each thread binding a ghostly corpse. Her chant continued uninterrupted. If the ghostly corpses struggled, the golden threads would merge into their bodies, burning their flesh and producing smoke and a foul odor.
```htmlThe entire street was filled with a scent and vibe that was truly invigorating.
"Don't be attached; let go of the corpse, let's go!" Liu Huanxi sighed, addressing them.
At this moment, Liu Binglian also emerged from the shadows. Her plump and round body stood upright; upon closer inspection, she was surprisingly performing hand seals with her left hand while holding a ritual vessel with her right. She began to chant incantations, extending the vessel outward, which had spiritual energy. The energy reached those ghostly corpses, making them struggle desperately, even as the golden threads sank deeply into their flesh.```
What the hell?!
“Liu Binglian!” Liu Hanxi shouted, “Don't think that I really dare not move against you! Get lost!”
Liu Binglian said nothing and took another step closer. Only then did Liu Hanxi see clearly that her pupils were unusual; it turned out she was possessed by a ghost.
Liu Hanxi jumped up, scattering more golden threads in the air to bind the ghostly corpse. As she chanted incantations, the golden threads ignited, setting the ghostly corpse on fire.
Liu Binglian also took a step back, her movements graceful and agile. She began to cast a water spell, causing water to fall onto the ghostly corpse, immediately reducing the flames.
At that moment, a figure leaped in front of Liu Huanxi, pushing Liu Binglian back several steps with a palm strike from a distance. Then, he formed a hand seal with his left hand, while throwing a yellow talisman with his right. The talisman split into countless smaller talismans, flying towards each of the ghostly corpses, igniting a fierce fire that quickly reduced the corpses to ashes.
```html“Qing Kong!” Liu Hanxi exclaimed in surprise.
“Step back.” Hua Qingkong did not turn around and replied coldly.
“Oh.” Liu Hanxi could only obediently retreat to the wall, as Xiao Xuan transformed back into a little dog and approached. Despite the black stains on its teeth and mouth, she looked disdainful but still went to help it clean its mouth.```
Looking up again, Hua Qingkong threw out the Immortal Binding Rope, shouting: "Monster! Hurry up and show yourself!"
The painful scream of Liu Binglian echoed as she twisted her chubby body, lunging towards Hua Qingkong like a fleshy ball. At the same time, a shadow quickly emerged from her and vanished. Hua Qingkong kicked Liu Binglian away and was about to chase after the ghost, but remembering Liu Huanxi behind him, he had to stop.
Hua Qingkong stepped forward to check, and found Liu Binglian lying on the ground, unable to move, and unconscious.
“She’s not dead, right?!” Liu Hanxi also came over to take a look.
“She’s not dead, but it sure took half her life,” Hua Qingkong replied.
"What are you..."
“I was wrong.” Liu Huanxi knew she was about to be scolded, so she immediately admitted her mistake before he could say anything.
“If it weren't for...”
“If it weren't for you coming to find me, I would have been done for. Thank you again, Tianshi, for saving my life.” Liu Huanxi interrupted him once more.
"You!"
“First, let's send her to the Liu residence, and then we can scold her later, alright?” Liu Huanxi tugged at Hua Qingkong's sleeve with a stubborn look.
The two tossed Liu Binglian outside the Liu family's main gate, and only after seeing the people inside carry her in did they return to the Wang residence.
“Smells so bad!” Liu Hanxi sniffed around herself, feeling that she reeked of the smell of corpses.
“Are you injured anywhere?” Hua Qingkong asked.
“No! I'm quite capable! If it weren't for seeing her, I wouldn't have held back; I would have just dealt with them together,” Liu Hanxi shook her head, “Xiaoxuan revealed its true form to help, it gnawed through quite a few, sigh! When we go back, it needs a good wash!”
Hua Qingkong suddenly stopped and held her tightly: "Next time, don't go alone, I beg you, you scared me! Bai Lie has already arrived home, and you still haven't come back. I knew something was wrong! If it weren't for the talisman, where would I have searched for you?! What would have happened if I was late and you got hurt?"
Liuhangxi leaned against his warm embrace and nodded, "I think it's the ultimate end."
“Huh?!” Hua Qinkong was taken aback by her sudden statement.
“It's his ghost.” Liuhangxi said with certainty and assurance.
“Why do you say that?” Hua Qingsong held her hand as they reached the wall of the royal mansion.
“She just recited a Daoist incantation and made hand gestures; I observed closely. Even if there are other Daoist ghosts, how many of them have a grudge against you and me?” Liu Hanyu raised her eyebrows at him.
Hua Qingkong furrowed his brows: "The malevolent spirit lingers, still causing trouble. Next time, I won’t hold back." He looked up at the Jing Wangfu.
Inside, there are people, celestial masters, Taoist priests, shamans, divine beasts, monsters, and ghosts; it should be the safest place, right!
```htmlThinking about it, he looked towards Liu Huanxi.
“From today until the wedding, you won't go anywhere! Stay within the door, until you catch the eternal ghost you seek.” Liu Huanxi immediately replied.```
“You have to do it, don't let it be that when I wake up tomorrow, you can't be found.” Hua Qingkong doesn't believe her at all!
“This time it definitely won't happen, what could be more important than marrying you!” Liu Hanxi said she wanted to get married, her cheeks slightly flushed, and Hua Qingkong also smiled faintly.
