Time passed in the blink of an eye. After a night of connecting with Qu Liang, I returned to my school and resumed classes.
I had just finished my first class and was preparing to head to another classroom when Zhu Caini suddenly blocked my path, her expression not looking too good. "Jiang Ling, come out with me for a moment. I need to talk to you."
Activating my Yin-Yang Eyes, I scanned Zhu Caini and noticed that the demonic energy around her was growing increasingly intense, hinting at an imminent eruption.
I followed Zhu Caini to a grove beside the teaching building and casually found a bench to sit on. Looking into her eyes, I asked calmly, "Zhu Caini, what do you need from me?"
Zhu Caini gazed at me with a complex expression. Biting her lip, she said shyly, "Jiang Ling, I've heard about you and know that you really are the agent of the Ghost Street Shop. I apologize for my previous attitude."
After saying this, Zhu Caini bowed slightly to me. I could sense that her apology was sincere. Not wanting to hold a grudge, I reached out to help her up and took the opportunity to place a talisman on her. With swift movements, I cast a spell while reciting, "Ultimate Earth, Mystical Arts Have Methods. Square is round; long is short. Infinite respect, suppress the demon spirit. Demon Suppression Talisman, command!"
As soon as my words fell, a strand of Daoist Magic flowed from within me into the talisman. The talisman ignited without fire, and a beam of White Dao Light surged into Zhu Caini's body, sealing the demonic energy she had been leaking back inside her.
"Mmhm~~" Zhu Caini let out a soft moan as her body trembled slightly, an unusual flush appearing on her face. After a moment, her trembling ceased, and she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. With a sincere smile, she said, "Jiang Ling, you're truly amazing! I've seen many Taoist Masters these past few days who couldn't even identify my problem. Yet you resolved everything with just one move."
From my earlier assessment, I had already determined the issue with Zhu Caini: the bloodline of the Wolf Demon within her was on the verge of awakening. If not addressed promptly, it could lead to unforeseen consequences or even cost Zhu Caini her life.
Furrowing my brows tightly together, I calculated the time and said seriously, "Zhu Caini, what I did just now was only a temporary measure to sort out your demonic energy; it hasn't truly resolved your underlying issue.
I deduced that three days from now will be the night of the full moon—when your Wolf Demon bloodline will awaken. You should rest well and conserve your energy during these days. After three days, come with me to that shop we visited before; I'll find a way to help you successfully awaken your bloodline."
Seeing how easily I had seen through her situation, Zhu Caini playfully winked at me and said in a teasing tone, "Master Jiang Ling, I'm entrusting myself completely to you; you must take good care of me."
I saw Zhu Caini's actions, and my face turned slightly warm. I awkwardly cleared my throat and said, "Zhu Caini, it's my duty to protect you; just make sure to prepare the money in advance."
After chatting with Zhu Caini for a while, we each went to our classes. I had already asked Hu Yalong and Wu Jie to get ready. Although Zhu Caini would awaken that night after three o'clock, I felt that I had enough time.
I carefully reviewed my plan several times and found no mistakes, which eased my mind. I stroked my chin and murmured, "There are still two things to do. During lunch, I need to discuss things with He Ying first."
Since I planned to cast a spell in He Ying's shop, I naturally needed to talk to her beforehand. Finally, when lunchtime arrived, I quickly walked to the private room where I had arranged to meet He Ying.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard He Ying's voice coming from inside: "Liu Zhenxian, you're so dumb! ... Why are you still farming? Come join the team! ... Ugh, you're really terrible; how could you not come save me? ... Hmph, hurry up and take down Zhao Yun; don't let him escape. ... Push forward, push forward; it's our chance!"
I looked at Liu Zhenxian and He Ying with some exasperation; they were both completely addicted to Honor of Kings. Whenever they had free time, He Ying would drag Liu Zhenxian into a game without wasting a single moment.
While Liu Zhenxian was playing the game, I used my Yin-Yang Eyes to look at him and discovered that he had already restored his Eternal Ghost King cultivation. It's important to note that Liu Zhenxian was not someone like Wang Lei who could be compared; he had fought his way out of the Ghost Realm and created his own path in Daoist Arts.
I took a sip of tea, shook my head, and muttered to myself, "Liu Zhenxian is hiding a big secret. Next time I go to the Ghost Realm, I must bring him along and dig out something valuable from him."
About twenty minutes later, all the dishes were served just as He Ying and Liu Zhenxian finished their game. He Ying placed her phone on the table, looked up at me, raised her hand showing five fingers, and said decisively, "Five hundred thousand! Jiang Ling, I've already heard about your plans from Hu Yalong. You can do whatever you want in my shop, but I want half of the profits. Not a penny more or less."
He Ying pouted her lips and put on a miserly expression. I felt a headache coming on and shook my head in disbelief. "Fine, five hundred thousand it is. But you can't just take that much money without doing anything in return; you'll have to help me guard outside the shop with Liu Zhenxian and drive away any pesky ghostly beings trying to take advantage of the situation."
When Zhu Caini awakens her Wolf Demon bloodline, it will naturally attract some greedy ghostly beings. At that time, I'll need to help Zhu Caini sort out the demonic energy within her body and won't have time to deal with those ghostly beings.
Although Hu Yalong and Wu Jie could assist me, their cultivation levels were too weak to be of much use. The reason I sought out He Ying was specifically for Liu Zhenxian's help.
Although he is my nominal Ghost Servant, it is clear that he now only listens to He Ying, rendering my commands completely ineffective.
He Ying turned to Liu Zhenxian, handing over the final decision to him. Liu Zhenxian nodded slightly and said, "Jiang Ling, just let me know when you plan to take action."
Hearing Liu Zhenxian's words boosted my confidence even more. While we were eating, I carefully explained Zhu Caini's situation to Liu Zhenxian. After all, Hu Yalong didn't know much, and it was essential for me to step in personally to avoid any oversights.
