When I

 returned

 with the ointment, I found 

Senior Shu

 in Li Mazi’s room. His life

-bound

 rat sat in a corner

. It was l

ooking at me with its twinkling eyes. 

When 

Senior Shu

 saw me, he 

was fuming. 

“You woke me up with your loud kick to the door

!

”

Then, he turned to help Li Mazi. 

At

 this moment, the life-bound rat crawled up to the bed and squeaked at 

Senior Shu

. 

Senior Shu

 was startled

. Hi

s face paled in fright. He flustered

 and screamed

, “Shoo this rat away!” 

“All right!” My face darkened immediately. I nodded at him, then abruptly lashed with the Sirius Whip! 

This man wasn’t 

Senior Shu

. 

Senior Shu

 had always treated

 his

 life-bound rat even better than 

how he treated 

his 

children

. How could he be afraid of that fat-ass rat

?

T

he fake 

Senior Shu

 screeched. He turned into a green shadow

 and flew 

through the door. 

Everything had happened in just 

the

 blink of an eye. When I got myself together, the green shadow had 

already

 gone far enough. I gritted my teeth to chase after it, but I lost 

track

 of it 

on

 the porch. 

After g

asping for my breath and 

controlling

 my anger, I returned to the room. Surprisingly, 

Senior Shu

was there

. He had already settled Li Mazi on the bed and was putting something into 

his 

mouth. 

“You 

bastard

!” Even 

Buddha

 would get angry after getting tricked again and again, let alone me, a hot-tempered, vigorous man! I couldn’t stand it anymore. That thing had teased us twice! I aimed at 

Senior Shu

’s nape

 and hit it hard

! 

Senior Shu

 was 

quick

 to grab the Sirius Whip. He panted

 and fumed

, “Kiddo, what are you doing?!”

“Wait

, a

re you the real 

Senior Shu

?” I asked carefully. 

“Little rascal, you don’t even recognize your grandfather! What a fool you are!” scolded 

Senior Shu

. 

I got the situation now. If 

this man wasn’t Senior Shu

, he wouldn’t have been able to grab the Sirius Whip 

with his bare hands

. Moreover, I noticed that his life

-bound 

rat was sitting calmly on his shoulder. 

After I 

confirmed

 his identity, I exhaled in relief. I told him what had happened. 

Senior Shu

 gave me a slight nod and didn’t say anything else

; he

 continued to help Li Mazi 

take

 the medicine. I then put the Securing Essence Ointment on the crown of his head.

After everything was done, I was a little scared

 and asked

, “

Senior Shu

, do you think it’s related to the iron swallow?” 

Senior Shu

 frowned. He thought for a while then nodde

d. H

is voice was low and worried. “The three of us are here, but she 

only came

 to the two of you. It means she isn’t my match! I think we’ll know soon 

enough

 if it’s related to the iron swallow.” 

“You mean, there

 was

 someone behind this 

ghost

?” I asked. 

“We’ll know tomorrow. I need to sleep now.” 

Senior Shu

 waved at me 

then

 left the room. I thought that thing wouldn’t dare to come again. I checked around Li Mazi’s room, then returned to my room to sleep. 

Early the next morning, Li Mazi woke up. He looked much better than last night. 

H

e gingerly asked, “What happened last night?” 

After t

hinking about his X-rated scene last night, I 

wanted to forget about it

. However, as he had kept pestering me, I had to tell him the truth. 

Li Mazi took in a deep breath

. In a

 trembling

 voice, he said, 

“Last night, I dreamt about Ru Xue and I doing, er, things. 

Did

 that thing 

bewitch

 me?” 

If that thing could impersonate 

Senior Shu

, it wouldn’t be a problem for it to transform into Ru Xue’s appearance to enchant Li Mazi. 

After c

onfirming that he didn’t betray Ru Xue, I wasn’t 

as

 angry as before. We went to wake up 

Senior Shu

 to have breakfast. Then, we drove to Feng Yuanzheng’s neighborhood. 

It was a high-end neighborhood with good security. When the security guards

 discovered

 that we didn’t live there and saw t

hat 

no one 

had come

 to pick us up at the entrance, they didn’t allow us to enter the neighborhood. I had to call Feng Yuanzheng. 

“Hello Mr. Feng, how is it going in your house?” 

“Don’t mention it. Yan won’t go out…” Feng Yuanzheng sounded reluctant. “Yesterday, she sneaked out very late at night. When she came back, she 

grimaced

, and her clothes were torn. It looked like she 

fought

 with someone. She’s 

resting

 in the bedroom and 

throwing a

 tantrum.”

Feng Yuanzheng sounded embarrassed

 as he continued

, “Could you come back another day?” 

I didn’t answer him but turned to tell 

Senior Shu

 that Zhang Yan had gone out last night. 

“It’s getting more interesting…” 

Senior Shu

’s eyes turned brighter. He took the phone from me

 and asked 

Feng Yuanzheng to watch Zhang Yan. Then, we returned to the hotel.  

Last night, someone had come to trouble us

. F

rom what Feng Yuanzheng had described, I had a feeling that Zhang Yan was behind this. 

Of course, we had to wait and see. 

When we arrived at the hotel, we saw the hotel’s manager 

pointing

 at the surveillance screen. He was gesturing something. I craned my neck to see. On the screen, Zhang Yan was standing outside the window

. She was

 supporting herself 

on

 the balcony. 

The place she was standing 

on was

 Li Mazi’s balcony. Moreover, the times matched, too. It was enough to prove 

Senior Shu

’s assumption. 

I wanted to take a closer look

. H

owever, the manager stopped me 

with an unfriendly

 tone. “Kid, you kicked the door open last night. 

Do you

 want to check the camera 

and

 destroy the evidence?” 

“E

mh

…” I hesitated for a while, then remembered that I had kicked the door of the hotel to save Li Mazi. When we left this morning, the room service hadn’t come yet. I forgot this detail. 

I immediately gave the manager several thousand renminbi as compensation, then asked to see the surveillance cameras. The manager

changed his attitude toward me. He showed me the scene where Zhang Yan appeared last night. My heart throbbed. 

On the screen, Zhang Yan looked around cautiously. Then, she slowly climbed on the water pipe and stopped at our floor. Seeing the scene, I dropped my jaw in awe. It wasn’t enough to describe her by saying that her body was as light as 

a

 swallow. Zhang Yan’s name wasn’t just in vain

!

She clung onto the pipe and stood on the outer block of the air conditioner

 as she assessed

 the three rooms. Eventually, she skipped 

Senior Shu

’s room

 and 

directly jump

ed

 into my window

 and hung 

in there. While doing so, she kept mumbling something… 

Immediately, a green shadow floated up from her body. It swayed a few times in the air 

before turning

 transparent. Then, it flew into the room through the window. 

A few minutes later, the green shadow

 ran

 away. It was damaged because I was reading the Sacred Text of Daoism at that time. 

Zhang Yan wasn’t satisfied. She rolled her eyes at my room, then turned to the balcony outside Li Mazi’s room. 

Using

 the same method, she sent the shadow to the room. 

The shadow hadn’t come back after a long time. Zhang Yan now wore a morbid smile. I knew it was when Li Mazi was 

making love

 on the bed. I shot him a despising glance. 

Li Mazi 

wore

 a wry smile

 as I

 rolled my eyes at him. Since I knew Zhang Yan was behind this, I didn’t want to watch the video anymore. But 

Senior Shu

 suddenly stopped me

 and asked 

me to continue watching. 

Zhang Yan’s face suddenly paled. Then, she sat down

 and gasped

 for her breath

. It looked a

s if she had just 

engaged in a

 fight. After a long time, she finally left. 

I had so many questions 

on

 my 

mind

. 

Why did Zhang Yan feel pain when I hit the green shadow in the room? 

Perhaps s

he ha

s

 merged with that 

spirit

! 

I shared my 

thoughts

 with 

Senior Shu

.

Senior Shu

 blew on his 

mustache and smiled

. “

Are you saying that

 the 

spirit

 controlled her? Well, I think it

’s the opposite.

S

he’s the one controlling the 

spirit

 to kill us!” 

I 

dropped 

my jaw. Although I’d experienced how 

rude

 Zhang Yan 

could be

,

 I couldn’t believe that

 she wanted to kill us for real

!
