Chapter 278 Disturbed by Evil Spirit

Xie Yuqing nodded as she reached out for her phone and made some calls to make arrangements .

Once they got into the car, Xie Yuqing drove as she said, “Hard to imagine, isn’t it? This case started out as a simple undead case but it turned out to be such a complicated one . First, there was Granny Liu, then the rat demon, and then the tomb . Luckily, it all ended well . Thank you, little trickster . ”

“As soon as the case ends, you start calling me a little trickster again . ” Ye Shaoyang said, “So when are you going to buy me a big meat bun?”

“I need to file a report . Although my superior knows about this paranormal case, we still need to hand in a proper report . Besides, the bun shop closes at night . Hehe . ”

“I knew it . ” Ye Shaoyang rested him exhausted body on the seat . He had used up most of his energy throughout the day chasing the rat demon and performing rituals . Now that the work was finally done, he felt too exhausted to even raise his head .

Even though Ye Shaoyang was resting, his mind could not stop thinking about the strange incident mentioned by Sibao Monk, The bloody-scaled Sha was a rare incident . A living person turning into Sha… I need to go to Mount Wutai to check it out .

Xie Yuqing finally sent Ye Shaoyang home . It was such a long and tiring day . He dragged himself up the staircase, thinking of taking a shower before going to bed . As he turned the doorknob, he could sense a trace of spirit Qi coming out from the house . Ye Shaoyang was startled . Seriously, my house is haunted now?

Ye Shaoyang entered the house . The light in the living room was on and Xiao Ma was sitting on the couch, leisurely drinking beer while watching television . Xiao Ma greeted Ye Shaoyang happily, “How was your trip? ”

“So-so, ” Ye Shaoyang answered and started sniffing around the house . There was indeed a trace of spirit Qi circulating in the house, but he could not detect the source . The spirit Qi was not from Xiao Ma either . Ye Shaoyang could not think of any other factor, so he asked Xiao Ma, “Did anyone come to our house tonight? ”

“Umm . . . Ping Ping was here just now . ”

“Ping Ping? ” Ye Shaoyang blanked for a moment before he realized that Xiao Ma was talking about Wang Ping . “She came alone? ” Ye Shaoyang continued to ask in a surprised tone .

“No, she came with a girl, Ms . Xie . The one who has a sidekick that came last time . They waited for some time for you but they left after that . ”

Ye Shaoyang smacked his forehead, How could I forget this case! Ms . Xie was the girl with a mask who came to seek help . She had complained about being disturbed by an evil spirit . Ye Shaoyang told her that he would contact her after he settled his matters and sent her off with a bloodstone, So, this spirit Qi must be from her, not from Wang Ping .

Ye Shaoyang recalled that he did not want to get disturbed by Ms . Xie, so he had not given her his phone number . However, Ye Shaoyang doubted whether he had saved her phone number as could not find her number in his contacts list . “Why didn’t you give me a phone call when she arrived? ” Ye Shaoyang questioned Xiao Ma .

Xiao Ma grinned mischievously, “This is a business tactic . Since she could pay three hundred grand with such ease, she must be really rich . We should play hard to get . The harder it is for her to find you, the more she would want to see you . ”

“That's stupid . She says she will be coming tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, she did . You should avoid seeing her for a few more days . I bet she will offer even more after that,” said Xiao Ma with a crooked smile on his face .

Ye Shaoyang glared at Xiao Ma, “The bloodstone I gave her can only last for half a month . She will be dead after a few days without protection . What do you expect her to pay me in after that? Hell notes?”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head speechlessly . He took a long shower to get rid of the smell of blood on his body . When he exited the bathroom, he saw that Xiao Ma was still watching television . Ye Shaoyang took a glance at the screen . It was another singing competition, and a girl was performing while playing the piano . Xiao Ma pointed at the girl with a look of amazement, “Look at her . Isn't she talented? Her voice is amazing . I'm sure she will win the contest . ”

Ye Shaoyang knew nothing about music, and he was not interested either . He would rather sleep than watch such a TV program . However, just as he was about to enter his bedroom, he realized something odd on the TV . It was zooming in onto the girl’s face, and Ye Shaoyang somehow had a weird feeling of a déjà vu; this girl seemed familiar . Before he could take a closer look, the camera had shifted to some other scene . Ye Shaoyang did not bother to think much about it, so he went to bed .

Once he rested himself on the bed, Ye Shaoyang checked his phone to see if Rui Lengyu had sent any messages to him . Sure enough, there was a message from her . Ye Shaoyang quickly replied, and they were soon exchanging messages . Ye Shaoyang was extremely exhausted, but he did not want to miss this chance to talk with his goddess .

They chatted till midnight before Rui Lengyu stopped replying to him . Ye Shaoyang guessed that she must have fallen asleep, so he slept too .

He woke up the next day at around ten in the morning . As soon as he got out of his room, he saw Xiao Ma sitting on the couch, playing on his phone . Xiao Ma did not even bother to look up, and he simply pointed at the table, “I've bought you breakfast . ”

Ye Shaoyang sat down by the dining table and took his breakfast while he asked Xiao Ma about Teng Yongqing’s condition .

“He is fine . He’ll be out of the hospital in two days . Visit him if you are free . I'll come with you too . ” Xiao Ma said .

“Sure . Let's go as soon as I'm done with my breakfast . ”

However, their plan was interrupted by an unexpected guest .

A girl who claimed to be Ms . Xie was at the door . She was dressed completely in black, and she was still wearing a mask . However, she was alone this time . She was obviously pleased when she saw Ye Shaoyang, “Mister Ye, we finally meet . ”

Ye Shaoyang invited her into the house and quietly observed her . Her eyes looked tired, and Ye Shaoyang could sense spirit Qi emitted from her neck area . Ye Shaoyang was shocked . Before he could speak, Xiao Xie asked, “Mister Ye, have you received the hundred fifty thousand dollars I sent you?”

A hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Ye Shaoyang was confused for a moment . Then, he remembered that she had promised to transfer over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to him . However, he had left for Xichuan the next day . His mind was so occupied with the mission to kill the blood Gu undead king that he had totally forgotten about this . As such, he was surprised when he found out that Ms . Xie had kept to her side of the promise . This made him excited, and he started to think about the amount of money he had received:

One hundred and ninety thousand, plus one hundred and fifty thousand dollars… . Hmm, how much is it in total now?

“Mister Ye, what are you doing?”

“I… Ahem… I was doing some calculations to figure out your current condition . ” Ye Shaoyang awkwardly covered up his thoughts, “How are you doing lately? Is the evil spirit still pestering you?”

Ms . Xie nodded, “Mister Ye, the bloodstone you gave me was working well . It stopped disturbing me for the first few days . My life was so much better for those few days . However, it came back into my dreams about a week ago . It cursed me in my dreams . Then, it warned me that even a sorcerer could not protect me much longer . It said that it will find a way to break through the protection and take my life . ”
