Chapter 28: Exorcising the Female Ghost

“Then what should we do?” Liu Chuxia asked with a worried frown.

Xiao Xu turned around and said with a pout, “I’ll go and have a good talk with her, get her to let it go.”

Jiang Jiajia shook her head. “Xiao Xu, are you really clueless or just pretending? If an obsession could be resolved with just a good talk, why would we go to such great lengths to fulfill them?”

Xiao Xu grew anxious. “Then what should we do? We can’t just let her become a wandering ghost, can we?”

“Alright, alright, let’s not rush. Let’s wait for them to wake up and think of a solution together.” Although Liu Chuxia didn’t know the difference between a wandering ghost and an obsession ghost like Ke Yan, now was not the time to ask questions.

Jiang Jiajia sighed. This kind of situation was troublesome, and it was what many Spirit Masters feared the most.

Xiao Xu leaned against Liu Chuxia’s embrace, feeling terrible.

After a short while, Han Yu came out. “It’s nothing serious, but Xiaoyan’s injuries are a bit more severe. She might need to rest for about a week. It would be best if she doesn’t go on any missions during this time.” With that, she went into the small room, took off her white coat, disinfected herself, and left.

“Don’t we need to pay?” Liu Chuxia asked, looking at Jiang Jiajia.

“No need. She’s your Liu family’s dedicated doctor. The family will cover the costs for you. And we’re here to assist you, so basic medical care is a must,” Jiang Jiajia explained with a smile.

Liu Chuxia nodded, then went into the room to check on Li Hanyan.

The person was sleeping soundly on the bed. Liu Chuxia tucked her in and then left the room.

Xiao Xu and Jiang Jiajia also went in to take a look. Seeing that there were no problems, they came out.

“It’s almost evening. Xiao Xu, let’s go and take care of that case. Jiajia, you have one too, right? Let’s take care of it now while we have time. Should we split up or go together?” Liu Chuxia asked, looking at them.

Jiang Jiajia thought for a moment and said, “Let’s split up. I can handle that case by myself. I’ll be more at ease if Xiao Xu is with you.”

Liu Chuxia nodded in agreement. Then, the two humans and one ghost split up and set off.

Liu Chuxia contacted the two women and asked them to meet at their community.

After arranging it, Liu Chuxia and Xiao Xu rented a car and went to Qingfeng Yayuan. When they arrived, Liu Chuxia saw two women standing at the community entrance. She hadn’t expected them to be so fast.

“Hello, I’m Liu Chuxia. You should know Xiao Xu, right?” Liu Chuxia walked over and introduced herself with a smile.

Ying Yaocen smiled at her and said, “I didn’t expect you to be a Spirit Master too. I thought you were a distinguished guest there before.”

Zhuo Yanhui nodded at her as a greeting.

“It’s still early. Let’s go to your room and check the situation first, then decide when to find her,” Liu Chuxia said seriously.

The two agreed, and they all went upstairs. They entered the room and opened the bedroom door. Liu Chuxia didn’t feel the temperature drop.

She turned to look at Xiao Xu. “How do we find this kind of ghost? Is it also with a tracking talisman?”

Xiao Xu nodded and said, “Generally, we use a tracking talisman. But I don’t sense the presence of a ghost in this house. It’s probably not the right time, and since those two haven’t been living here, it’s possible this ghost has run away. We can only wait until midnight to see.”

Liu Chuxia nodded and looked at Ying Yaocen. “We might have to stay here for a night. I wonder if it’s convenient?”

Ying Yaocen smiled and said, “It’s convenient. What’s inconvenient about getting rid of a ghost?”

“Alright then. You two will have to be the bait tonight. Just sleep in your room as usual. It would be best if it comes out on its own.” Liu Chuxia thought that this would increase the chances of the female ghost appearing.

Zhuo Yanhui frowned and looked at Liu Chuxia. “Will it be dangerous? What if that female ghost suddenly goes berserk? Can you get here in time?”

“Based on the information you provided before, this female ghost currently has no intention of harming anyone. She just cries in the middle of the night. It’s even a question whether she’s trying to scare you. There’s no need to be so afraid,” Liu Chuxia analyzed for them logically.

The two of them felt much more at ease after hearing this. They then went out, saying they were going to buy groceries to cook them a good meal.

Liu Chuxia and Xiao Xu quickly refused, but they couldn’t stop them. In the end, they could only helplessly accept their kindness.

After dinner, the three humans and one ghost rested. After all, who had the mind to play on their phones or watch TV now?

Liu Chuxia and Xiao Xu were staying in the room next to their master bedroom, so they could hear any movement.

“Big Sister Chuxia, should we send a message to Big Sister Jiajia and tell her we’re not going back tonight?” Xiao Xu asked, lying on the sofa in the room and looking up at Liu Chuxia.

“No need. She already sent me a message saying she’s not going back tonight either. I also briefly told her about our situation here. I’m just a little worried about Hanyan and Xiao Nian. If they wake up in the middle of the night and don’t see us at the bookstore, I don’t know how anxious they’ll be. I’m just afraid Hanyan will act recklessly,” Liu Chuxia said with some worry, lying on the bed.

Xiao Xu sighed. She thought of the ghost Ke Yan again. Sigh… she was so worried.

“Xiao Xu?” Liu Chuxia turned her head and looked at her with questioning eyes.

“It’s nothing. Big Sister Chuxia, you should get some sleep. I’ll keep watch.”

Liu Chuxia agreed. She was indeed a little tired. The meal just now was really delicious, and she couldn’t help but eat a little more. After eating and drinking well, she felt comfortable and wanted to doze off.

Xiao Xu watched the person who fell asleep the moment she lay on the bed, clicking her tongue in wonder.

Not long after, Liu Chuxia felt colder and colder as she slept. She wanted to reach for the blanket but suddenly felt something cold and clammy patting her face. She was already cold, and now she was directly woken up by the cold. Her mind instantly cleared, and she quickly sat up from the bed.

“Big Sister Chuxia, you’re such a heavy sleeper,” Xiao Xu said, retracting her hand and complaining.

Liu Chuxia rubbed her face and then asked, “What’s the situation now?”

“The female ghost is wandering around the house. She probably senses us and doesn’t dare to make a sound.”

“Then will I provoke her if I use a tracking talisman now?”

Xiao Xu looked at her in confusion. “Why would it provoke her?”

“Oh, you don’t know yet. Hanyan said I can unleash the full power of this talisman,” Liu Chuxia said with an embarrassed smile.

“Ah? Big Sister Chuxia is that powerful?” But then Xiao Xu thought again, “That’s right. Since Big Sister Chuxia could get a true perfect score, then all of this makes sense.” Xiao Xu nodded, agreeing with herself.

Then she looked at Liu Chuxia again and said, “If that’s the case, it’s for the best. Big Sister Chuxia, you don’t even have to do anything. You can directly injure her severely.”

“Really?” Liu Chuxia looked at her uncertainly.

“Yes. Big Sister Chuxia, use it. Let me see the original power of this talisman,” Xiao Xu said with great anticipation.

Liu Chuxia didn’t waste any more words. She directly took out a tracking talisman, opened the door of her room, and lit a flame in the darkness. The flame disappeared and turned into a green light that spun around the dark living room, finally shooting straight towards a corner. The female ghost didn’t even have time to scream before she appeared and fell to the ground.
