I pulled myself together, remembering the location of th

e

 villa. Then, I intently looked at it. Soon, a woman

 in a nightgown

came out of her house

. With a frightened face, she rushed to see the security guards.

She was probably Zhou Tian’s wife. I left the 

I

nternet shop

, walking out

.

I arrived in front of her b

efore she could 

knock

 on the security booth. “Zhou Tian is your husband, right?”

B

ewildered, she 

asked

 as if I were her sole life-saving straw

,

 “Are you the master Zhou Tian

told me about?”

“Tell me, what happened?”

I didn’t stop a

fter confirming the woman’s identity

. 

I 

pulled

 her into the neighborhood

,

 ask

ing

 her for more information as we moved forward.

The woman shivered. “I was sleeping

 when

 I heard someone crying. It was 

very

 close

, just as if it was next to me

. Then, I found that it was Zhou 

Tian who was weeping

. He seemed to have become someone else. It was so strange.”

When we were near their house, I heard someone crying inside.

I lowered my voice and said, 

“Go straight to the point!”

The woman nodded. “I think Zhou Tian is being pestered by a foul thing. He told me to find you and ask for your help before he los

t 

his sanity.”

“

I see. D

on’t worry.”

I drew the Sirius Whip and hid 

it behind

 my back

, asking

 her to open the door.

At first glance, I saw Zhou Tian rolling and weeping in the living room. His eyes were gone

, and

 his empty sockets we

re 

bleeding 

nonstop.

His wife

 saw th

e scene

 and scream

ed. She

fell

 on her butt while shivering uncontrollab

ly

.

When Zhou Tian heard her scream, he sat up and 

scolded her

. “You 

damned

 bi

tc

h! I’m going to kill you!”

He then covered his eyes 

and

 kept rolling on the ground. He simply ignored me.

The woman covered her mouth, tears brimming her eyes. I gestured at the door 

as a way to tell her to 

go out first. I slowly moved forward a

fter she had left the room. 

Zhou Tian 

ignored me the whole time

. 

“W

ho

 the hell are you? Why 

are you haunting

 him?

” 

I grabbed the Sirius Whip, my eyes cold. I wanted to threaten the 

spirit

 that was attached to Zhou Tian.

The spirit wasn’t afraid. It controlled Zhou Tian’s body and 

crawled

 closer to me. He licked the blood streaming from his eyes, sneering and mocking. “You’re not a worthy opponent…”

“

W

ell, let’s fight to find out!”

If it didn’t want to talk, I 

could only

 use force. I screamed and lashed with 

my

 Sirius Whip.

The

 whip 

hit

 Zhou Tian’s neck. He screeched

 and stumbled 

two meters away. He then crouched on the ground and stopped moving altogether.

Right after, sharp 

pain was transmitted from

 my back. I turned and saw 

some

 red mist trying to drill into my body.

The pain came from the contact with that red mist. I immediately took out a handful of refined salt and thr

ew it over

. The mist sizzled

 and 

dispersed, but I felt a twinge 

i

n my back again.

The red mist seemed to be 

playing

 with me. No matter 

in which direction

 I turned, it would appear behind me. My move

ments

 slowed down

, and

 my 

body became cold

.

I couldn’t help but sneeze

.

 I realized that the red mist was 

consuming

 my Yang energy. If 

this continued

, 

things

 would be over for me.

The red mist changed tactics w

hile I was trying to resist it

, spreading all around me

.

Wisps of red mist twined together, creating a net that

shrouded me.

When we were in the grannie’s single-story house, the otherworldly item had done this to deal with the red sandalwood altar.

The sandalwood altar 

had been unable to 

deal with that attack so it shook hard.

I quickly operated my brain and saw a ball cactus by the window sill b

efore my view was completely blocked.

Plants like this ball cactus could absorb dust and purify the air. They were full of Yang energy that could be used to expel Yin energy. I hurried to roll toward the ball cactus. Then, I picked up the pot and 

smashed

 it on the 

floor 

with all of my strength

.

 The ball cactus was broken into small pieces.

I hurried to pick a piece of the cactus without 

thorns and

 directly stuffed

 it 

in my mouth. The slightly bitter taste filled my oral cavity

, and my body started to warm up

.

I felt much lighter a

s the heat was expanding to 

cover 

my entire body. 

Most

 of the pain caused by the red mist was gone.

I felt more confident 

now

. Every time the hea

t

 was about to dis

perse

, I would pick another piece of cactus

,

 swallowing it. Slowly, the red mist 

started to weaken

.

All of a sudden, the mist 

turned

 into a wisp that slowly 

moved

 toward the door. 

From the looks of it, it was

 exhausted 

and wanted

 to flee. How could I let this chance go? I held the Sirius Whip and lashed hard.

After every whip, the red mist would cry and weep. 

But

 the 

w

hip’s power was soon drained

, and th

e red mist took the chance to run away.

I hurried to check Zhou Tian. His eyes had 

returned to normal

, but his face 

was twisted in pain

. Apparently, he had been 

badly 

affected.

If 

this

 continued, although he wouldn’t die, his longevity would be shortened. I called his wife 

and asked her to

 cook him a bowl of hot ginger soup. 

Then

, I sat in their living room to 

regain

 my composure.

If that spirit called Zhou Tian’s wife 

‘

bi

tc

h

,

’

 I guessed he had been

betrayed by his own wife. And, Zhou Tian’s wife may have had an affair in the past.

It was an important clue

.

 However, considering the harmony of Zhou Tian’s family,

 I wouldn’t make use of it for the time being

. 

Soon, the woman cooked a bowl of ginger soup and started 

feeding

 Zhou Tian. 

“Master, thank you so much. Did you finish dealing with that foul thing?”

I almost spurted out the water I had just drunk.

I reluctantly explained to her, “That thing isn’t 

easy

 to deal with. I was lucky that I could 

drive

 it away. 

It’ll take some time to destroy

 it 

for good

.”

The woman was 

stunned at first

. She then looked at her husband, who was lying like a dead pig on the bed

, and

 asked me, “Master, do you think I’m beautiful?”

“E

h

?” I didn’t 

understand what she meant

.

She bit her lower lip then suddenly got up, pulling the knot of her nightgown open, which revealed her snow-white skin. She then jumped on me, trying to kiss m

y

 lips.

Everything happened too fast. When I got a hold of myself, the only thing I could hear was

our breathing.

I

 hadn’t touched a woman for quite a long time

, so I was a little slow to react.

The woman was emboldened since 

I didn’t 

reject

 her. She couldn’t help fiddling with my buckle

. S

he was 

so

 excited

 that 

her hands were trembling.

Zhou Tian suddenly rolled on his bed. I pulled myself together and 

pushed

 the woman aside, 

starting

 to read the 

s

acred 

t

ext of Daoism. I finally snapped out of it.

She didn’t know what I was doing, so she 

tried

 to get on me another time. She moaned crazily

,

 “Give it to me, will you?”

“Ma’am, please 

behave yourself

!”

This time, I got rid of her and 

rushed

 to the door. I

 looked at her coldly

. “I came here to help you deal with the otherworldly item. I’ll leave immediately i

f you keep doing that

.”

Zh

ou Tian

’s wife looked bewildered. Then, she heaved a deep sigh

, tears

 brimm

ing in

 her eyes. “Do you think I’m a

n easy woman

?”

I looked at her

, keeping silent

.

The woman was suddenly stirred up. She pointed at Zhou Tian and yelled, 

“We’ve been married for years

, and h

e has never satisfied me, not even once

!

 I ha

ve

 to take the initiative every time

, and he can barely get it up.

 I’m

a woman

, and I want to feel like one

!”

I felt embarrassed. This man looks burly and muscular. How could he be so useless?

Anyway, I wasn

’t interested in knowing

 about their intimate life. I comforted her and later

went to the guest room to rest.
