Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

With hints of smiles still in her eyes, Chi Shuyan pursed her red lips and inspected him animatedly once more. "Are you feeling better this time? Has your cold eased?"

Qi Zhenbai nodded, his profound handsome face devoid of any emotions. His jet-black, cold eyes focused on her, and he replied succinctly, "Thanks for your concern, much better, and… thanks for your prescription." Then, he continued staring at her with those pitch-black, bottomless eyes with an intimidating edge, making Chi Shuyan feel prickles down her back.

Chi Shuyan first thought that he would ask who prescribed the prescription and how to treat his cold when he stared at her. She didn't expect him to not ask anything at all. His countenance remained cool and calm, without even the slightest sense of urgency. This reaction was simply abnormal, as if he wasn't the one with the cold, and whose life was on the line. Chi Shuyan rolled her eyes, and made up her mind spitefully to see how long he would hold back asking.

The subway stopped, and the large wave of commuters waiting outside made a headlong rush and surged in like a tidal wave. The force of that sudden squeeze made many people in the car rub shoulders and step back involuntary, crowding in together like a densely packed can.

Even Qi Zhenbai, who had obviously never experienced the spectacular subway morning rush, wasn't spared. Despite being tall, sturdy, and in tiptop form, he was caught unaware and was ferociously squeezed by the masses of people. His tall figure stumbled forward and directly weighed down on Chi Shuyan, his solid body against hers, flesh to flesh.

Qi Zhenbai was stupefied. The way he pounced on her was akin to a full hug. Not only was she soft to the touch, but his hard chest also seemed to have bumped into a soft sponge. The tip of his nose sniffed the fragrance of Chi Shuyan's hair and his cold stiff brows that hadn't eased since he got into the car knitted together tightly.

On the contrary, Chi Shuyan gave a cry of pain when Qi Zhenbai slammed into her, her back thudding against the uneven car wall. If she hadn't been squeezed to within an inch of her life, she would have bent down long ago. Chi Shuyan never expected that Qi Zhenbai would look as handsome and elegant as a sick beauty, but his chest was as strong and hard as a rock.

"How are you doing?" Qi Zhenbai's pair of slender eyes that were raised upward were slightly worried and apologetic.

Chi Shuyan had just had the sense to resist the pull of his purple qi, but now that he was holding her tightly, she wished she could use both arms and legs. She buried her face deep in his chest and took a few deep breaths. It's too comfortable! It was too comfortable that she forgot she was on the subway. A moan escaped from her pink lips and trailed off quivering. Fortunately, the car was noisy and her moan was low, so only Qi Zhenbai heard it clearly and his face stiffened.

Qi Zhenbai's chest trembled. His cold steely face grew more rigid, and the veins on his head throbbed violently. Qi Zhenbai really almost lost control of his desire to fling her out. Unfortunately, the subway was overcrowded. This perhaps was his first encounter with someone taking advantage of him so openly and honestly. He looked down for a glimpse and was caught off guard by her rosy and coquettish cheeks. With her pink lips still gasping and moaning softly and seductively, a dense bead of sweat oozed from his forehead. He would never believe it if this girl denied seducing him. Somehow, Zhu Bocheng's words about how this girl looked at him suddenly popped in his mind. His eyes flashed awkwardly while growing stiffer.

Silence hung in the air. Fortunately, Chi Shuyan woke up soon after taking liberties with him and the expression on her face grew rigid as well. She blushed, even more so at the thought of the last time she touched this man and he wiped his hands with a handkerchief in disgust to her touch. This time, she took advantage of him so cheaply, so how much would this man disdain her? If there was a hole in the ground right now, she really would have buried herself in it. This is too embarrassing. What should I do? What if this man thinks that I was deliberately seducing him?

But I've already taken liberties, so can I even give them back? Chi Shuyan released him at once and shamelessly acted as if nothing had happened, forcibly coughing out a few words, "Sorry! I just had an attack!"

Qi Zhenbai couldn't help drawing the corners of his mouth. Thinking of the prescription she gave before, he hid the complexity and pensiveness under his eyes, and replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing!"

But when the two separated again, there wasn't too much space in the crowded car, so the two were still attached to each other.

Qi Zhenbai definitely noticed Chi Shuyan's discomfort. However this time, his eyebrows and eyes were as distant as the mountains. His nose was high and narrow, his scarlet lips pursed into a straight line, deep three-dimensional, handsome and extraordinary face didn't change at all.

He stretched his two ape arms on the railing and wall of the car and squeezed out hard, taking advantage of his height to make room for Chi Shuyan and causing several people behind him to cram and stagger again.

"Ahhh, young man, don't push. My old bones are going to crack!" An older woman behind Qi Zhenbai yelled in an anxious complaint.

'Yeah, why are you pushing? Can't you just hug your girlfriend and put up with it for a while!"

When Qi Zhenbai heard the aunt's complaint, he paused. In this interval, the aunt, like an old tree with roots, not only stood firm, but also pushed back with all her might. Thus, Qi Zhenbai was thrust back to the space he had just opened, unable to move a tiny step.

Traces of helplessness were sprinkled on his deep, handsome face, and his rather imposing, slender eyes solicited Chi Shuyan's opinion, "How about one climb up?"

Chi Shuyan gave it a thought. After all, with their height and weight there, she would cause less damage if she jumped on him.

Then, Qi Zhenbai clasped his hands around her waist and exerted some effort. Unfortunately, they were too jam packed to be able to turn a hair. His jet-black, slender eyes flashed and he opened his lips, "I beg your pardon." He fastened two large palms on her butt cheeks and exerted all his effort, lifting her up on either side by sheer skill. This time, the process was smooth and short.

Chi Shuyan couldn't restrain from simmering this time and blushed: "…" Did I go out today without looking at the Chinese divination almanac? It's over! It's over, I've taken too much advantage of him this time. Should I give a prescription to make up for it?

In a mansion, a sharp, clear child's voice sounded.

"Xingxing, Xingxing, what's the matter?" As soon as Lin Chongchang heard the shouting, he didn't even bother putting on his slippers as he rushed to Lin Haoxing's room, where he caught an equally alarmed and deeply worried Lin Jingshi in the hallway. Lin Chongchang's eyebrows furrowed, baffled at how she appeared there. Both of them quickly rushed into Lin Haoxing's room before they had time to speak.

As soon as they barged into Lin Haoxing's room, they saw him cringing in the corner of the bed with his blanket, his eyes staring ahead in fear, as if something was attacking him. Just as the two were wondering, Lin Haoxing's jade pendant glowed green, launching an offensive. The greedy evil spirit that pounced on him instantly manifested in a twisted and terrifying shape, then screamed, escaping with a ghostly shriek.

It was the first time that Lin Chongchang and Lin Jingsi had ever seen such a twisted and terrifying evil spirit. They paled utterly frightened and almost suffered from cardiac arrest. There really were evil ghosts. It was a refreshing outlook in their life and horribly terrifying!

Lin Chongchang stared blankly for a moment. He quashed his lingering fear and immediately stepped forward to check on Lin Haoxing. Lin Jingshi's tolerance, however, was evidently inferior. She stared blankly and white-faced at where the ghost had escaped, unable to speak for a long time. If it weren't for her father's presence, she probably would've slumped to the floor.

"Xingxing, are you all right?" Lin Chongchang's cry of concern woke up the dazed Lin Jingshi, who also pounced to ask.

"Dad, was that really… a ghost just now?" Lin Jingshi was frightened inside.

Lin Chongchang nodded, "It looks like it." Seeing that his grandson was fine, his eyes fell on the turquoise Pisces jade pendant he was wearing.

Lin Jingshi also reacted and followed Lin Chongchang's gaze to Lin Haoxing's neck in amazement. "Dad, is it this the jade pendant that blocked that disaster? When did you ask for a magic weapon that was effective? Can it even ward ghosts?"

Lin Chongchang took a closer look at the jade pendant and saw that a shallow crack seemed to have appeared on it and was perplexed. "It seems like this jade pendant really did stop the disaster." He really didn't expect such an ordinary jade pendant to play such a big role. Reminded of his instant dislike of this Master's gift, he felt embarrassed at heart, and at the same time, terrified. Luckily, he didn't let Xingxing take it off at that time.

"If only Elder Sister was here, there'd be no need to be afraid of these ghosts." Lin Haoxing got over his fright, probably having been scared by ghosts and monsters from childhood, so he was a bit bolder than normal kids. He recovered immediately and said with a childish voice, his face filled with regret.

"Sister? Who is your sister?" Lin Jingshi asked in bewilderment.

"Sister is sister. Sister is a great ghost hunter!"

Lin Jingshi was really surprised. This Celestian Master was even a female?

Lin Chongchang frowned deeply and said worriedly, "I don't know how long this jade pendant will last." He was aware that all kinds of things would always haunt his grandson, so one jade pendant was obviously not enough. He pondered for a moment, pacified Lin Haoxing, and went out to make a phone call.
