"Yes, the reason this mansion exists is because of the presence of the spirits. The energy from the spirits sustains this place. Once the spirits disappear, the mansion will naturally vanish," I explained to Feng Ju.
After hearing my explanation, Feng Ju finally understood.
Since the matter was resolved, there was no need for us to stay any longer. Just then, a voice came from behind us, seemingly belonging to the girl from earlier.
"Wait, Masters!" The girl hurried over, her face filled with urgency.
"What’s wrong?" Feng Ju turned to her and asked.
Gasping for breath, the girl said to me, "Can you help my sister? It seems she’s possessed."
Feng Ju and I exchanged puzzled glances. "What do you mean? Your sister is possessed?"
Nodding vigorously, the girl replied, "Yes! Something strange happened to her stomach; it suddenly got big as if she were pregnant. The midwives couldn’t figure it out. Later, my family thought it was odd and found a master to check on her. He said my sister is carrying a Demonic Fetus."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Ju and I shared a knowing look. This situation was more complicated than it seemed.
"Take us to her now," I instructed the girl.
Her face lit up with a smile as she eagerly nodded and led us to her sister's house.
Her sister lived in a nearby village, but reaching it required climbing over a large mountain. Since it was already late, we decided it would take too long to walk there, so Feng Ju and I agreed to carry the girl instead.
The girl was momentarily stunned, unable to believe what she was witnessing.
"What’s happening? I can actually fly!" she exclaimed in surprise.
I smiled at her and said, "Don’t forget, we are both immortals." Hearing this reassured her, and she laughed happily.
After a while, we arrived at her sister's home.
The lights were still on inside, and although we didn’t enter, we could hear her sister's painful cries from outside.
The girl felt a tightness in her chest and pulled us inside. As soon as we entered, we saw her sister writhing on the ground in pain.
Seeing this scene, the girl was filled with sorrow and said to us, "Master, please save my sister!"
I glanced at Feng Ju, who happened to look back at me. I believed that Feng Ju already knew what to do.
I stepped back and let Feng Ju continue. She approached Sister and reached out her hand. Instantly, Sister quieted down, her face returning to a normal color.
The girl saw this and helped her sister up.
In the next moment, something strange happened: Sister's belly suddenly swelled up, as if it were about to burst at any second.
I immediately said to Feng Ju, "Feng Ju, it's the Ghost Child inside her causing trouble. You need to expel this Ghost Child."
Upon hearing my words, Feng Ju nodded and placed her hand on Sister's belly.
At that moment, Sister began to shake violently, unlike any normal person would.
This made my heart race with alarm. Could it be that the Ghost Child was causing chaos?
"Wang Jun, what should we do? If we forcibly remove the Ghost Child from her belly, she will get hurt."
A troubled expression appeared on Feng Ju's face. I looked at Sister's expression and felt a deep hesitation. How could we safely extract the Ghost Child from her?
Just then, Sister's abdomen suddenly turned black, looking terrifying. This made my heart tighten; could it be that the Ghost Child was trying to force its way out?
I quickly placed my hand on Sister's belly. With the suppression of my spiritual energy, the power of the Ghost Child diminished rapidly, and soon Sister's belly returned to normal.
At that moment, Feng Ju extracted the Ghostly Aura from the Ghost Child and brought it out.
I glanced at Sister; fortunately, her condition had improved significantly.
The girl sighed in relief and asked me, "Masters, is my sister okay now?"
Just as I was about to speak, Feng Ju suddenly cried out in pain. The Ghost Child had bitten Feng Ju and then escaped while Feng Ju was distracted.
As Feng Ju was about to chase after it, I called out, "Forget it, we'll catch it sooner or later."
Reluctantly, Feng Ju stopped. At that moment, Sister suddenly woke up, and both Feng Ju and I shifted our attention to her.
"How are you, sister?" the girl asked her sister anxiously.
"I... I'm fine, don't worry," Sister replied weakly.
This only deepened the girl's concern. She looked at us, ready to speak, but I understood her unspoken words and said to her, "Even if you don't say anything, we will help your sister."
After saying that, I placed my hand on Sister's forehead and transferred some of my energy to her. In no time, she returned to normal.
"Sister!" The girl was momentarily stunned before reacting with joy.
"I'm here; you don't need to worry, okay?" Sister said with a pained expression as she looked at the girl.
Then Sister turned to Feng Ju and me and said, "Thank you both. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
I replied to Sister, "It's nothing much. However, I am curious about how you got involved with the Ghost Child."
This piqued both my and Feng Ju's curiosity. Normally, the Ghost Child doesn't attack unless provoked.
Upon hearing my question, Sister's face turned pale, which only heightened our sense that something was amiss.
"Sister, please just tell us. Only then will these two Masters be able to help us," the girl urged when her sister remained silent.
With a sigh, her sister said, "This happened because of my mistake. If I hadn't meddled in things that didn't concern me, I wouldn't have encountered this situation."
Both Feng Ju and I were immediately intrigued and asked her, "What happened?"
Then, her sister began to tell us a story.
A few days ago, she had been working at a household until very late. To get back home, she had to pass through a cornfield, and next to this cornfield was a cursed graveyard. At night, no one dared to go through there because many strange occurrences had been reported in the cornfield, and many people said it was haunted.
She didn’t believe in such things. When she was leaving, the owner of the household had kindly offered her to stay the night, but she had refused.
As she walked into the cornfield, for some unknown reason, the air around her suddenly felt heavy.
She seemed to sense something, but still didn’t believe it and continued walking through the cornfield. When she passed by the cursed graveyard, suddenly, the moonlight above became very bright.
She looked around and felt an unsettling presence following her, which filled her with fear.
At that moment, a child's cry echoed through the air. It startled her and made her suspicious; how could there be a child's cry in such a place? So she followed the sound and found a child abandoned in a graveyard.
The child's cries were heart-wrenching, and her heart instantly ached for the little one. She picked up the child, but as soon as she did, something went wrong—the child's face suddenly twisted into a grotesque expression, frightening her so much that she dropped the child.
However, things did not become simpler; instead, they grew increasingly terrifying.
As she threw away the child, a mournful wail filled the entire cornfield. Unable to bear it any longer, she immediately started to run.
But as she ran, she suddenly felt something was off; why did her back feel so heavy?
