When Chi Shuyan returned to the ward, w.a.n.g Xuewen's screams still hadn't stopped. He was covered in cold sweat and held down by the two boys, Lu Chengfu and Qi Hao. The back of his s.h.i.+rt had been lifted up, and the b.l.o.o.d.y gashes along with the two strange faces on his back were a ghastly sight.

Seeing Chi Shuyan and the others come in, the two faces seemed to sense something and smiled strangely at the three of them, and an odor permeated the air.

Even though Zhu Bocheng had seen w.a.n.g Xuewen's back earlier and was prepared, he was still horrified by the scratches and the two strange faces when he looked at them now. Qi Zhenbai's face also changed when his eyes landed on the two faces on w.a.n.g Xuewen's back.

Lu Chengfu and Qi Hao were covered in cold sweat as they pressed w.a.n.g Xuewen down and retched in fear. The two boys hadn't dared look at w.a.n.g Xuewen's back all this time, and now that they saw Chi Shuyan come in, it was as if they were seeing their savior. Like frightened puppies, they hurriedly shouted, “Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, help!”

Chi Shuyan pulled out an Immobilization Talisman and threw it at w.a.n.g Xuewen without a change in expression. After pinning w.a.n.g Xuewen down, she had Lu Chengfu and Qi Hao let go. Lu Chengfu and Qi Hao accidentally touched the two faces growing out of w.a.n.g Xuewen's back, and they ran to the side in horror and retched until they were light-headed.

Zhu Bocheng couldn't care less about their reactions and hurriedly asked Chi Shuyan, “Sister Shuyan, what the h.e.l.l is going on? What the h.e.l.l is that thing on his back?”

The more Zhu Bocheng looked at w.a.n.g Xuewen's back, the more disgusted he felt. The two faces weren't too big yet, but those evil smiles were especially p.r.o.nounced. They seemed to sense Zhu Bocheng's fear, and strange, malicious smiles tugged at the corners of their lips. If Zhu Bocheng had been on his own here, he would have died from a heart attack. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and looked anxious.

Apart from the change in his expression at the very beginning, Qi Zhenbai was very calm when he looked at w.a.n.g Xuewen's back. His eyes were pensive and deep as he stared at the two faces. Even though they smiled evilly at him, his expression didn't change in the slightest. Seeing that they weren't able to scare him, the smiles changed into a mixture of irritation and hatred, as if they would break out of w.a.n.g Xuewen's back and rush over to devour Qi Zhenbai at any moment.

Zhu Bocheng sweated even more on his forehead. He really wasn't as bold as Zhenbai. He couldn't help but ask again, “Sister Shuyan, what's wrong with the w.a.n.g brat? It can't be that even you can't see it! What are we going to do?”

Chi Shuyan stared at the two faces on w.a.n.g Xuewen's back for a while, then walked over to Qi Hao and Lu Chengfu, who were light-headed from retching, and had them tell her everything that happened when they entered the burial mound.

Qi Hao and Lu Chengfu didn't react to the words “buriad mound,” until Chi Shuyan reminded them, “It's the 'King Ying's tomb' you were talking about.”

Before this, Chi Shuyan had been worried about frightening the kids and hadn't intended to tell them that they hadn't gone to a tomb at all, but a turbulent burial mound.

As for what a burial mound implied, Qi Hao and Lu Chengfu were also very clear. When they heard Chi Shuyan's words, their faces immediately changed color and their bodies turned cold with fright. Their teeth couldn't help but chatter, and Qi Hao was even more anxious to confirm it. “Sister… Sister-in-law, are you saying what I think…? Isn't… isn't that a tomb?”

Chi Shuyan then said, “Do you know why that area has always been deserted and no one dares to go there? Didn't you ask the people in Yongning County before you went there? That area used to be the imperial residence. Later, except for a few families who left, everyone else died there. The yin energy in that area is too heavy. From beginning to end, more than 100,000 people died there, but no one collected their bodies and they were all buried in that area. The number of bones buried underground is no less than 100,000, and this is commonly known as a turbulent burial mound. If you don't believe me, go back and pick a random place to dig. I guarantee you'll dig up human bones anywhere.”

Qi Hao and Lu Chengfu were so shocked that their bodies turned cold again and they almost cried with fear. It was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on their feet in the dead of winter, and the chill traveled from the bottom of their feet all the way up to their hearts. They were alarmed and terrified. The two shook their heads fiercely. They would never go back to that d.a.m.n place, not even if they were beaten to death.

“Alright, from beginning to end, tell me everything that happened!” Chi Shuyan said.
