I listened to Liu Yiyi's words, feeling a bit speechless. However, I thought that this kind of thing was definitely something Zhang Yuru could pull off.
I turned and asked, "Want to go down for a drink together?"
Liu Yiyi shook her head, saying, "I've been taking care of you in the hospital for days. My work is piling up. Now that you're awake, do you really want to keep torturing me?"
I felt a bit touched by her words. Looking at Liu Yiyi's face, I found her so beautiful. Although she wasn't as stunning as Su Mingyue, Liu Yiyi had a comfortable beauty about her—a kind of beauty infused with the essence of life, unlike Su Mingyue's ethereal charm.
I stared at her for a moment, feeling sweet inside. "Yiyi, if I can come back safely this time, how about we... cough cough." I gestured with two fingers, hinting at being together.
Liu Yiyi pouted. "Get out of the car quickly! Also, I've heard about your situation from Zhang Yuru. If you don't come back, I might forget you pretty soon."
I hurriedly replied, "Well, if I die and you forget me, that's fine. But if I come back alive, you have to be my girlfriend!"
Liu Yiyi's face turned red again. She quickly waved her hand. "Hurry up and get out! I have things to do. Go on!"
I chuckled and got out of the car.
Liu Yiyi drove off in her Jaguar with a roar.
I stood there grinning like an idiot.
"What are you smiling about? Can't you see I'm busy over here?" A woman shouted at me from inside the café.
I turned around and saw Zhang Yuru waving at me in a knee-length dress.
I walked in, and there were more than ten students chatting inside the café.
In fact, the café wasn't very busy; although there were many people, the coffee was made quickly with machines.
I approached and said, "Is this a white leg temptation?"
Zhang Yuru gave me a light slap, "My legs aren't that tempting; it's Liu Yiyi who's the real temptation. She worked part-time here a few times wearing super short shorts, and you know how it goes. You should see how these male students swarm in like hungry wolves."
I couldn't help but laugh, "But wasn't it you who beat up a male instructor because of Liu Yiyi?"
Zhang Yuru paused for a moment before waving her hand dismissively, "Don't mention it. That instructor was too strict. There was this freshman girl trying to cool off in the café; she was almost overheating when the instructor walked in and started berating her. I was furious! That instructor reminded me of my Captain during my internship—damn it! He couldn't catch up with my mom, so he took it out on me, always finding ways to make my life difficult. In a fit of anger, I ended up hitting that instructor."
I gave Zhang Yuru a thumbs up.
"By the way, how have you been? You haven't been back for a few days; I thought you might have died," Zhang Yuru said casually, probably convinced that I was done for and that she could inherit the café once I was gone.
I replied, "I'm fine for now, but I need to find something. Anyway, you keep running things here. If I die, this café will be yours. You can just pick any guy as your boyfriend—it's like an old cow eating tender grass; how great would that be?"
"Go ahead and die! If I wanted an old cow eating tender grass, I would have taken you down already," Zhang Yuru shot back.
I chuckled and headed toward the bedroom at the back of the café.
Once inside, I took a shower and then sat on the bed, deep in thought.
I got up and began to follow the movements from the Witch Dance that my mother had left me. However, there was no power at all!
I furrowed my brows, quickly realizing that while I could communicate with Divine and Demonic Power, the problem was that there was no Divine and Demonic Power available for me to use!
My mother was able to borrow Divine Power because of the existence of the Crystal Sphere and the Witch Tower, but now, I had no power to draw from!
Therefore, before the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, I had to find enough Ghostly Power!
I didn't know where to look for Divine Power, but Nether Power was still within reach; I just needed to find enough Vengeful Spirits or Zombies.
In the past, I had always killed them, but now I could absorb their power for my own use!
I needed to gather enough Nether Power to survive the upcoming battles!
Yes!
However, even though I had encountered many ghosts and monsters before, it was surprisingly difficult to find them when I actually wanted them. Such occurrences were rare.
Frowning, I suddenly remembered my trip with Liu Yiyi to Shonan. The giant snake we encountered had died, but its corpse remained; its power should still be there, and I should be able to absorb it.
Right, I should go look for that giant snake first.
I changed my clothes and sprang into action.
Grabbing my handgun and packing my backpack, I also used WeChat to buy a few Talismans from the Azure Cloud Taoist. Although I might not need Talismans in the future, my current witchcraft skills were still lacking, so they might come in handy.
I took a flight to Changsha and then rented an off-road vehicle, heading straight for the Snake Village where I had been before.
On the way, I called Qin Hai to ask if he had encountered any supernatural cases recently. If he did, he had to let me know; I would help for free.
Qin Hai cursed me as a harbinger of misfortune, saying that if the police station encountered a supernatural case, it would be better off shutting down.
I felt a bit helpless; it was true that one only regretted not having enough ghosts when they needed them.
Upon arriving at Snake Village, I hurried towards the back of the village.
To be honest, with all the snakes in the village now, I really couldn’t afford to be careless.
Once I reached the back of Snake Village, the Giant Super Serpent was still lying there.
I walked over, and this time, I could truly feel a mysterious power emanating from the giant serpent. It seemed to be scattered throughout its body, but there was also a lot of it dissipating into the air.
It appeared that this power had been more abundant in the past; now that the giant serpent had been dead for too long, the residual energy within it was already quite scarce.
I placed my hand on the giant serpent and concentrated, trying to control it with my mind. Threads of power flowed into me and were stored in my chest.
The sensation of storing this energy felt really good.
I stood up and was about to leave when suddenly, from a distance, two silver-fringed snakes shot towards me at high speed.
Instinctively, I wanted to dodge, but then I hesitated; I was more curious to test the power of my witchcraft.
My arm curled like a snake, and then a flame suddenly erupted in front of me.
With a loud bang, flames erupted, and two silver snakes, emitting a burnt smell, lay dead on the ground.
I was taken aback; I hadn't expected the magic to be so powerful.
However, the energy consumed was substantial. After running all this way and absorbing only a small amount of energy, I had just used up more than half of it in that one instance! It seemed I needed to conserve my energy; in the future, I should rely on the Peach Wood Sword, Talismans, and my handgun. Otherwise, I would be useless at critical moments.
I sighed and then circled around Snake Village to leave.
On the way, I still felt a bit unwilling. Time was running out for me. If I couldn't find Divine Power and Ghostly Strength soon, having magic would only make me a waste of potential.
After thinking for a moment, I took out my phone and scrolled through it until I saw Wen Yan.
Wenyan Detective Agency.
Perhaps he might have some clues.
I immediately called Wen Yan.
It seemed that Wen Yan was quite busy on the other end; there were many people around. "Boss Wen, business seems good lately," I said.
"Haha, it's just average," Wen Yan replied with a laugh.
"Well, Boss Wen, I've been looking to take on some supernatural cases recently. Do you have any available? I'm flexible on payment; even if there's no money involved, I'm interested."
"Huh? No payment at all? Sure! As it happens, I have one right here for you. But you definitely need to pay me something—five thousand bucks. Are you in?" Wen Yan said.
I immediately replied, "Alright, alright."
"Okay then, when are you free? I'll have the client contact you," Wen Yan said.
"I'm free tonight, I can meet at the coffee shop."
"Sounds good."
I hung up the phone and sighed in relief; it seemed that having more friends really had its advantages.
I hurried along, and by the time I arrived at the coffee shop, it was just seven in the evening.
Having just finished dinner, a woman walked into my coffee shop.
