The white shadow got up. His strange eyes 

looked at

 me. I 

didn’t

 have time to hide. After 

maintaining

 eye contact with me for a short t

ime, 

he turned and was about to leave. 

As

 he was leaving, Orange stopped weeping. Her beautiful face reddened with anger

. She crazily shouted 

at the white shadow. “You left me behind one thousand years ago. 

Do y

ou want to do that again?!” 

The shadow didn’t say anything. He didn’t even

 stop walking

. Orange’s beautiful face twisted

. H

er eyes 

turned

 red

. It looked 

as 

though

 she could cry out blood. Her body began to exude a black mist. 

“

Muahahaha

!”

Orange suddenly released a 

burst

 of 

ear-splitting laughter

. I was startled.

Isn’t this 

the voice Li Mazi 

spoke in

 yesterday when we were in the car? Li Yu didn’t possess him. 

The

 female ghost 

did

! 

Then, the ghost controlled Orange

 and 

slowly moved to the window. With a hostile face, she screamed, “

You w

on’t have a decent death! All of you! No one will have a decent death!”

After thundering, she jumped through the window. I was so scared 

that

 I didn’t have time to worry 

about them recognizing 

me. I rolled and 

got out

 from 

behind

 the bed like a carp. Immediately, I lashed the Sirius Whip at Orange. 

Following a shriek, a woman dressed in a gold color floated from Orange’s body. Orange fell 

to

 the ground

, while the 

ghost flew aside

. H

er 

blood-red

 eyes 

gazed

 at me. She clenched her jaw and ground her teeth as though she 

wanted 

to tear me into pieces. 

I hurried to 

place

 Orange

 on

 the bed. I anxiously studied the two ghosts. 

There was n

o need to mention how restless I was. Both wormwood powder and Sirius Whip couldn’t scare them away. I didn’t have the confidence that I could defeat them. 

Li Yu didn’t look at me. He stooped and looked at the ghost I had hit

. H

is face grimaced and he looked reluctant. I had watched a lot of drama series about Li Yu on TV. The actors who played him also wore such tender and fond expressions 

while also looking

 hesitant and reluctant. 

When the female ghost saw that Li Yu 

was looking at

 her, the red hue in her eyes faded a little

. Her 

furious face 

turned

 tender. 

I was shocked

 and watched 

the new development of this ghostly drama. I thought they had finally 

reached

 the romantic moment after 

a

 dramatic climax. 

But

 right 

at that

 moment, someone screamed in pain in the next room. 

Feeling worried

, I rushed 

out

of

 the room. After a few steps, I turned and found that both Li Yu and the woman 

were

 gone. 

Before I could open the door of the next room, someone fell into my chest. I turned on the light and found it was Shen Haoran. His face was as pale as a sheet of white paper. He didn’t say anything

 and looked 

blankly

as if he had lost his soul. 

However,

 I was more worried about Li Mazi. I pushed him aside and 

went

 to the patient ward next door. 

Six people were surrounding Li Mazi with panicked faces. Li Mazi was holding a fruit knife in his hand

.

When I came in, the other six heaved a sigh of relief. 

They remained cautious as they watched 

Li Mazi. I turned to check 

him, and

 I was imm

ediately frightened by what I saw

. 

His shirt was open. His bulging veins were twitching, ju

st

 as if something was swimming back and forth 

beneath his skin

. His face was twisted, and

 t

he knife 

i

n his hand was dripping blood. There were so many bleeding cuts on his 

belly

. It seemed he had cut himself. 

“Why didn’t you guys stop him?!” I couldn’t help

 but scold

 the other people in the room. Then, I 

snatched 

the knife from Li Mazi’s hand. Before he could react, I hit his temple to knock him out. 

There were six people in this room, but they had just watched Li Mazi 

hurt

 himself. If I had 

started fighting

 with the other two spirits in the other room, Li Mazi would 

have been

 in grave danger. 

The more I thought about 

it

, the angrier I 

became

. I couldn’t control my 

emotions

. Li Mazi’s sudden groan 

snapped me out of it. 

I pulled myself together. Li Mazi was still in danger. 

I hurried to help 

him

 lie down. I burned the fruit knife with a lighter for a while to disinfect it. Then, I 

made

 a small cut on 

his

belly

. Afterward, I burned and melted an evil expelling talisman to make charm water to feed to Li Mazi. 

Then, I put my index finger and middle finger together

 and pressed by the cut on

 Li Mazi’s 

belly

. Frighteningly, black worms came out from the cut. As soon as they 

made contact with

 the air, they died. 

After forcing the worms out, I treated his wounds then called the doctor. The doctor was a man with good senses. He didn’t ask any questions and just 

gave

 Li Mazi an injection then 

wrapped

 up his hurt 

belly

. 

Li Mazi, who was always lively and hopped around, was now in bed with a pale face

. He was

 flinching and looking as though he was in great pain

. 

I really wanted to reprimand those people who had just watched him hurt himself. 

Shen Haoran 

came

into the

 room. He 

was looking

 better. However, he didn’t dare to say anything when he 

saw that I had a

 dark face. Since he had kept his mouth shut

, 

I had to ask him first. “What happened?”

He hesitated for a long time before telling me what had happened. 

It turned out they were scared, so they didn’t turn off the light. The team took shifts to rest. Nothing happened for quite a long time. When it was Li Mazi’s turn to watch, he suddenly tore his shirt

, his 

face grimac

ing

 in pain. He woke everybody up

, so t

hey wanted to check if he was okay. 

However, 

they

 then saw a woman

’s

 face 

hover

 above Li Mazi’s shoulder

. She opened 

her big mouth

, and h

er 

blood-red

 eyes gazed at people, 

which scared

 the souls out of them. 

Then, something started to move under the skin of his 

belly

. Li Mazi was in great pain, but he couldn’t make a sound. Before 

they

 could do anything, Li Mazi abruptly grabbed the fruit knife on the table and stabbed himself. 

Orange’s mother was so scared

 that she shrieked

. As Shen Haoran was worried that Li Mazi would harm himself, he ignored his fears. Holding the talisman, he shakily ran to the next room to get me. 

After listening to him, my face turned even darker. I 

lifted

 Li Mazi’s shirt to his shoulders. Indeed, there were two black 

handprints

 on his shoulders. It seemed the female ghost had pressed on his shoulder. 

It was n

o wonder why the female ghost didn’t move when I hit her

 earlier

. I didn’t pay attention, but she had taken the time to come here to hurt Li Mazi! 

Although I was displeased 

that

 Shen Haoran’s friends didn’t even try to help Li Mazi, I knew they were just ordinary people. It was understandable that the ghost 

w

ould scare the 

crap

 out of them. With a dark face, I told them, “Nothing will happen later tonight. You can rest now.”

Then, I returned to Orange’s room. 

After the incident, Orange still hadn’t woken up. 

Her breaths were

 gradual

, b

ut the talisman on her body had turned into ashes. 

The female ghost

 wa

s intimidating beyond my estimation. I took a deep breath

 and thought 

that I would have to study her tomorrow. Otherwise, I wasn’t sure if Li Mazi and I could come back this time… 

It was after midnigh

t, and 

I slept as soon as I touched the bed. 

The white face kept showing up in my discontinued dreams. Finally, I saw 

its appearance

 clearly. It seemed Li Yu didn’t mean harm to me. I saw him smile at me

. T

he imperial aura on him was outstanding. 

He was walking around and holding 

an

 elegant fan. I followed him

 as I wanted 

to see what he wanted to do. The meandering path led 

to a garden

 where a young woman was dancing beautifully. However, I didn’t see the woman’s face. I 

felt

 she must be a beautiful woman. 

Li Yu stood aside

 and smiled

. He looked at the young woman dancing

. His 

face 

was 

full of affection and pain. 

I didn’t know what he meant 

by

 this. Why did he want to show me this scene? 

The young woman danced faster and faster. When she spun 

around

, I could only see her 

swirling

, big sleeves. She looked like she was floating. Suddenly, 

her

 movements halted as if someone had interrupted her. She landed

 hard

 while spinning. She fell and spurted blood

, h

er blood slowly seep

ing

 into the ground. 

“

No,

 I’m not willing!”

The woman suddenly lifted her head

 and shouted 

at us. The dream went dead silent. I 

woke

 up with head-splitting pain. 

Many people were surrounding

 my bed, except for Li Mazi and Orange 

who

hadn’t

woken

 up yet. Looking at them, I knew I had just done something weird. 

Shen Haoran worriedly looked at me. “You’ve been screaming Ehuang something.”

I 

understood

 something

quickly.

 Ehuang, Ehuang

...

W

as that Zhou Ehuang? 

Zhou Ehuang was Queen Zhou, Li Yu’s first wife. She was famous for her dance that could mesmerize people. Recalling the dance I had seen in my dream, I knew it must be her. It was no wonder she said that Li Yu 

had betrayed

 her a thousand years ago.

No

 matter how 

gentle

 a woman 

was,

 she 

w

ould never stand 

that her husband was having an affair with her sister while

 she was seriously ill! 

It seemed t

he female ghost was Zhou Ehuang. But 

what was

 the role of Li Yu, who had walked out of the painting? 

After recalling that Orange had stroked

 the scroll of the painting, I somehow got it

.

 The scroll was the otherworldly item where Li Yu 

dwelled

, and Zhou Ehuang just happened to possess Orange!
