Chapter 246: Chapter 244: Slapping the Apocalypse Rebirth Woman 25
"No wonder."
Anning felt the thick mahogany door with her hand.
"Is there a particular reason for this?"
Old Xu and Yin Baichuan were both quite curious.
Anning handed two talismans to them: "Stick these on your forehead."
Old Xu and Yin Baichuan did as they were told.
Just as they affixed the talismans, they saw a dense black mist continuously leaking out from the crack of the door, with some bloodstains on the mahogany surface.
Anning opened her hand, and Old Xu noticed Anning’s fingertips were dyed red.
He reached out to touch the door as well, but Anning immediately grabbed him: "Don’t touch it."
Old Xu was taken aback and didn’t dare to make any rash moves.
"What’s going on here?"
Old Xu pointed at the door: "Why is there black fog?"
Fear was also evident in Yin Baichuan’s eyes: "Is this what people often refer to as yin energy?"
Anning shook her head: "It’s not yin energy, it’s Evil Qi."
This sounded even more terrifying than yin energy, and Old Xu’s face turned pale with fear: "What on earth is happening? Has my boy stirred up some trouble?"
Anning calmly looked at the door: "It’s not clear at the moment, let’s go in and take a look."
She reached out to push the door open.
Old Xu and Yin Baichuan followed her nervously.
As the door opened, they saw the entire room enveloped in black Qi, so thick that they could barely make out the details inside the room.
Anning covered her nose and with a wave of her hand, she cleared much of the black Qi, finally brightening the room a bit.
Anning entered the room, first inspecting the four corners, then slowly and carefully examined every part.
Old Xu and Yin Baichuan did not dare to disturb her, and just stood in the corner watching Anning.
Finally, Anning stopped walking.
She walked over to the bed, looking down at the man lying unconscious.
"How is it?"
Old Xu asked anxiously.
Anning turned around and smiled: "It’s just a little spirit causing trouble, no big deal."
"Spirit?"
Old Xu and Yin Baichuan were frowning upon hearing this.
Anning explained with a smile: "It’s a type of spirit that creates dreams. The young master can’t wake up because he is trapped in a dream."
She took out several pieces of Jade, tossing them one by one beside the bed. As she threw the last piece of Jade, Old Xu and Yin Baichuan watched as Anning disappeared.
But they could still hear Anning’s voice: "Have someone guard this room, and no matter what happens, do not let anyone enter."
Old Xu responded solemnly: "Don’t worry."
He pulled Yin Baichuan out and immediately made a phone call to have someone come and guard the room, while Yin Baichuan stayed at the door, not quite at ease.
Old Xu also had someone bring a chair to sit and guard as well.
Anning had set up a Mysterious Formation in the room.
And her Divine Soul had already entered into Xu Wei’s dreams.
Anning suddenly found herself falling into a place resembling a garden.
She tumbled to the ground, and when she stood up, she discovered she was dressed as a maid and holding a small flower basket.
Anning walked a few steps forward with the basket in hand and ran into a few other maids.
One of them, who was older, saw her and laughed: "The young master just said you should be coming over, hurry up."
Anning was puzzled but followed the maids.
They soon arrived in front of a small courtyard with the gate open, revealing a variety of flowers and plants inside, as well as a small pond with fish inside.
"Hurry in."
A maid took Anning by the hand and led her into the courtyard.
"The young master is inside reading; go in."
Still confused, Anning nonetheless entered the study that the maid pointed out.
Upon entering the study, she saw a person who looked like a nobleman sitting at a desk reading.
Anning walked over slowly.
The young master turned his head to look at Anning.
Anning, seeing the appearance of the young master, was first stunned, then smiled and handed over the flower basket.
This young master is none other than Xu Wei, who is still lying in bed.
"Cousin sent you, didn’t she?"
Xu Wei’s face wore a smile as he picked up the flower basket to look at the few flowers in it and a wallet: "Did cousin say anything?"
Anning had no idea who the cousin was.
She just smiled and shook her head.
Xu Wei seemed a bit disappointed, but he quickly cheered up.
He stood up, took out a hairpin and a Jade Pendant from a little box, and put them in the flower basket: "Take these back to cousin."
Anning picked up the flower basket, thanked him with a bow, and left.
Coming out of the study, Anning seemed to have thought of something.
Carrying the flower basket, she walked onto a small bridge and, with a gesture of her right hand, quickly understood what was going on.
Following the path down from the small bridge, she arrived at a particularly exquisitely built small courtyard.
Anning pushed open the courtyard gate, first smelled a strange fragrance, and then saw a stunningly beautiful woman sitting in front of the pavilion, looking around.
Seeing Anning coming over, the woman’s face was all smiles: "What did cousin say?"
Anning handed over the flower basket: "The young master asked me to bring these to you."
The woman laughed heartily, treasured the hairpin and Jade Pendant as she put them on: "Cousin must surely... surely have me in his heart, my deep affection for him is not in vain."
Anning’s face gradually cooled as she watched the woman.
"Deep affection means taking someone’s life?"
"What?"
The woman looked up at Anning: "Chun Mei, what are you talking about?"
Anning wiped her face with her right hand: "Take a good look, who am I?"
The woman, seeing Anning’s true face, screamed shrilly: "Who are you? Where’s Chun Mei? What did you do to her?"
Anning pointed at the woman: "There’s no Chun Mei here; you should wake up too."
The woman struggled desperately: "Who are you, who the hell are you? Which demon are you from... Someone, help..."
"Cousin, cousin, what’s wrong with you?"
Xu Wei had run over at some point.
As soon as he arrived, he shouted toward Anning, trying desperately to save the girl held by Anning.
Anning slapped the girl’s body twice, and she collapsed to the ground, limp.
Anning looked coldly at Xu Wei: "You should wake up too."
Xu Wei was stunned, his eyes filled with confusion: "Who am I? What happened to me?"
Anning flicked a thread of Spiritual Energy onto him, Xu Wei shivered involuntarily, and when he looked at Anning again, his eyes held a bit more contemplation: "Who are you? Where is this?"
"I am here to save you at the request of your father, Old Xu."
At the mention of Old Xu, Xu Wei became even more sober: "What happened to me?"
Anning’s face was cold, her gaze sharp as she looked at Xu Wei: "You are currently unconscious, if you don’t leave now, you won’t need to go ever again."
Xu Wei was delighted: "Do I really not have to go?"
He looked at the girl on the ground with compassion.
Anning snorted coldly: "Yes, the dead naturally need not go."
Stung by the word "dead," Xu Wei became more alert.
He covered his head and yelled: "What happened to me? I..."
"You were bewitched."
Anning slapped him again, and Xu Wei finally calmed down.
He looked unwillingly at the girl one last time but his eyes flashed with a hint of determination: "Let’s go."
Anning took Xu Wei’s hand to leave.
But at that moment, the girl woke up.
Opening her eyes and seeing Xu Wei about to leave, she immediately clung to his legs: "Cousin, where are you going? Don’t leave me; without you, I cannot live!"
Xu Wei was visibly distressed, his reluctance to leave her intensified.
"You, already dead, now talking of not being able to live, how can you continue to live?"
Anning sneered: "Do you know that if you really had an accident, you’d carry a great sin?"
The girl, not caring about such things, said: "I don’t care, I just want cousin by my side, even if I face an ash-scattered end, I only want cousin."
