Chapter 196: Inviting the Ghost into the Jar
Seeing Li Gui in such an unashamed and ugly state, I pretended to be scared and let out a sharp scream before turning to run.
Li Gui leaped off the bed and grabbed Chi Xinrong's body, which filled me with indignation. At the same time, I had to pretend to half-push and half-lean into what was already mine, feeling the sensations from my own body parts. It truly felt bizarre, sending shivers down my spine and causing my heart to race.
As I watched Li Gui reach out with his claws to caress Chi Xinrong's body, I hurriedly handed him a cup of water. "Darling, drink this water; it's beneficial for your recovery."
Li Gui looked at the cup suspiciously but did not reach for it. Instead, his hands roamed indiscriminately, ignoring the other person's will, pressing that iron-like appendage tightly against Chi Xinrong's legs. I was furious but helpless, trying to act natural while dodging his lewd advances. I softly coaxed him, "I know what you're planning to do, and since you're so eager, I thought I'd prepare a nutritious drink for you. This way, we won't have to worry about you being weak."
"Oh. Alright, I'll drink!" Li Gui took the cup from me and gulped it down without hesitation. Then he eagerly grabbed Chi Xinrong's arm. "Your arm is so white; I like it..." Seeing him in such a self-satisfied and drooling state made my throat tighten with disgust, yet I forced myself to put on an overly flattering demeanor to win his favor.
I estimated that the talisman water would take about ten minutes to take effect after entering his stomach. Coupled with Stone's plan, I thought this time we must succeed in driving Li Gui away.
Now, all I needed to do was patiently wait for the right moment and not act too hastily, which could ruin everything and force Li Gui into doing something terrible that would harm my original body.
Moreover, I was confident that I could handle Li Gui's entanglement calmly.
In a coy manner, I pushed away Li Gui's reaching claws and pouted, "Don't be silly; I've been busy and am all sweaty. I need to take a shower." Using Chi Xinrong's body to act coy with this old monster made me feel utterly disgusted; I couldn't help but shiver one after another.
Li Gui used my body for his nefarious deeds to satisfy his inhumane desires. When he saw me trying to leave, he grabbed Chi Xinrong's arm tightly. "It's fine; you don't need to shower. The original flavor is great; I like it."
"You like it; I don't. I'm a bit of a clean freak." I feigned a delicate demeanor as I twisted my hips and raised my fingers gracefully while sashaying toward the bathroom. Even then, I dared not look in the mirror at Chi Xinrong's body. As the one controlling this body’s core energy, I might not have expelled Li Gui yet; it was making me feel utterly nauseous.
Entering the bathroom, the towel was messily thrown aside along with puddles of water everywhere—leftover from Li Gui’s previous shower. Frowning at the dirty towel, I lifted it with my hand but froze; Chi Xinrong couldn’t be touched or handled.
With no other choice, I let the water wash over me freely from head to toe.
The water flowed over this youthful and vibrant body, winding its way through the curves and down long legs before pooling on the floor and draining away into the sewer.
A young body, two restless souls—one sleeping in Dark City, the other dominating every aspect of this body.
If I fail this opportunity, I will suffer greatly, not only losing the chance to reclaim my body but also possibly losing Chi Xinrong.
Chi Xinrong is a woman with a troubled fate and a difficult past. I, Ma Qi, have already harmed Zhou Mengyao and lost contact with Han Mi, so I cannot afford to lose Chi Xinrong as well.
As a man, I must protect her from further emotional, physical, and psychological harm.
Now, it all depends on whether the arrangements are ready.
I can't touch any part of the body; surely rubbing my hair is harmless!
Gently massaging my hair, my mind was clear as I thought about whether the stone had dealt with the ice curse on the fat guy yet.
Having rubbed through every strand of hair without a place to wash it, my gaze couldn't help but wander to this young body that I controlled so closely. Chi Xinrong's figure was simply stunning—her skin as snow-white and translucent as crystal, smooth and fair, ready to break at a touch. Below her flat abdomen, a few delicate golden curls were faintly visible, glistening under the moisture like soft grass bowing down.
Her long legs were covered in droplets of water, shimmering enticingly under the light of Photosynthesis. I raised my hand, yearning to caress everything I saw before me, longing to indulge in this alluring body.
But I couldn't do that. At this moment, despite my efforts to remain calm, my heart raced uncontrollably, and my cheeks flushed hot. I dared not look any longer; I needed to rein myself in immediately or face unimaginable consequences.
I struggled to suppress the surging thoughts from deep within me and forced myself to calm down. I was still afraid that Chi Xinrong would find out. Hastily closing my eyes, I grabbed a towel and quickly wiped myself down, telling myself, "I can't continue like this; I need to finish this task and leave her body."
Outside, Li Gui was growing impatient, knocking on the glass door.
This glass door was semi-transparent; from the outside, it created an air of mystery about what lay within—indistinct yet irresistibly stirring primal impulses from deep inside. He was now desperate to get in and get things started.
Seeing that the time was right, I secured the towel around me and deliberately adopted a sexy off-shoulder look as I stepped outside.
I believe that to Li Gui, Chi Xinrong now appears like a water lily, presenting a deadly allure right before him. Ignoring everything, he lunges toward Chi Xinrong, who stands at the bathroom door. After a slight movement from the entrance, Pang appears.
Pang is now controlled by the Spirit Stone, which propels him forward with all his excess weight and a gust of wind. With a loud crash, the stone successfully knocks Li Gui down. At that moment, the talisman in my hand firmly adheres to my forehead, ensuring that Li Gui cannot retaliate and invade my body again.
Li Gui is thrown out but cannot counterattack. I have affixed the Exorcism Talisman, a new invention from my recent research on Ma Qi—something even Pang does not possess.
With this Exorcism Talisman attached, no monster infused with Evil Energy can approach me. I didn’t test it on a white mouse; instead, I used a chicken for the experiment. The chicken’s fate was to die, and I ended up using it for soup.
Li Gui's mastery of Evil Arts is high; even separated from my main body, he can still appear before me at will. The items hanging on the walls clatter chaotically, and the light flickers ominously on the wall, casting grotesque shadows that resemble countless monsters poised to pounce on us at any moment.
Reflecting a ghostly figure with claws bared and fierce intent, it lunges toward the fallen Chi Xinrong. I grip the talisman tightly and rush forward to intervene; it releases its hold on Chi Xinrong's arm as if dissipating into smoke and vanishing into the wall.
I grasp Chi Xinrong's arm. Goodness! Li Gui's earlier grip left five distinct finger marks embedded in her fair skin, glaringly obvious against her complexion.
