Chapter 144 - Are They No Good?

Transcending Kings were the most powerful Mian Tianni could handle. They were on their way to becoming demons. In her prime, she could exorcise such a thing without much effort, but now that she was in her advanced age, she was already facing dire consequences in performing rigorous exorcisms like this one.

However, she had no choice. A transcending King was terrorizing her niece and her nephew-in-law. Normally, these things were easier getting sealed, but they couldn't leave it to gather materials for a seal right now. She needed to use her ceremonial soul sword… even if it would damage her soul as well.

The younger brother could only clench his jaw as he waved two hands and began doing two different seals with his two hands. He couldn't say 'no' to his sister's plan as he saw nothing else fit. If they wouldn't do it now, the entire Li household would be eaten—it might also include them.

Mian Tianni retreated and began a chant to summon her sword. Hopefully, they had enough time to make it work.

"Xiao Luan, no! I won't let them kill you!" Mian Bingbing started laughing out deranged as she began to break free from Li Feng's hold. As if sharing power with the shadow baby, her physical strength was beginning to grow. Li Feng's hold was beginning to falter as the son was being scared to death by the look on her eyes.

"Feng!" Li Heilong rolled the wheelchair closer before moving out of it to help his son in incapacitating the mother. Even if his wound started to bleed, he didn't give any regard for it. He didn't like what was happening to Mian Bingbing, and he wouldn't let her hurt Li Feng enough for her to blame herself for the pain. "Bingbing! Listen to my voice! That's not Xiao Luan!"

"How dare you tell me that?! You never knew her! You never knew she existed!" Mian Bingbing pushed Li Feng and grabbed Li Heilong by the neck. With the strength given by the ghost to her, she slammed Li Heilong to the ground and strangled him with her supposed delicate fingers. "Don't tell me that's not her! It's her! It's her!"

Li Feng wanted to jump at her again, but he saw Wang Yusheng grab her from behind as if he was trained to control patients that would run amok. However, even if he removed her from Li Heilong, she was still out of control. The son then looked towards the baby and saw his grandfather was barely holding on—just like Wang Yusheng and Liu Heima.

'What… what am I supposed to do now…?!'

…

The nurses actually just slid the bed inside as if they never wanted to enter the big room. They then closed the door and locked it from the outside. Liu Xiaodan frowned as he listened. The big room was vacant, but there was a strong light coming from the ceiling. His fingers continued to wiggle as if he was trying to figure out a way to release himself.

It seemed that voices were coming from one side. The voices didn't sound legible and distinct as if they were whispers from a hundred people at a distance. Liu Xiaodan then stopped moving. He knew exactly what those voices were. 'What are they planning to do today? Are they going to leave me here for Abaddon to fetch—?'

His thoughts weren't even complete when he saw a silhouette of a head cast a shadow on his face. However, since his eyes were guarded by a white plastic shield, he had no idea what was actually looking down on him. By what, he meant woman or man… it was definitely a ghost after all.

Nibble. He felt teeth nibbling on his foot, but he didn't move his toes. More teeth began to latch on his skin while the face started to push itself against his forehead. He could feel something breathing against his hair, and fingers were scratching on his cheeks as if trying to remove the guard on his face.

'Greater ghosts? No, they can't be this weak. This should be normal ones… or those breaking through the greater ghost level.' Liu Xiaodan endured the strange feeling on some parts of his body. However, he couldn't help but yelp when something chomped down on his t.h.i.g.h. He couldn't fake his sleep anymore as he started getting stronger nibbling. "What is this?! What's happening?!"

"..." Indistinct voices started to echo, and the biting grew more painful. Liu Xiaodan started to thrash around, but his movements were not keeping them all away. He began to growl as he flailed in his spot, trying to loosen the hold of the leather straps.

Pause. Liu Xiaodan paused as he felt another welling feeling seeping from his heart. It was the same when Li Feng first opened this direct line between them, letting Liu Xiaodan possess his body for a moment and use it as a gateway to materialize. Even if his very materialization was in the form of a miasma, Liu Xiaodan was still terrified by that ability.

However, this time, not only Li Feng was connecting with him. A strong yet gentle probing light was nudging against him, and it was akin to Old Xiong's connection with him. However, this one was… begging so badly. Liu Xiaodan had forgotten of the biting ghosts for a while as he entered a phase to see what was happening with Li Feng. 'That's… just like the Mother… the power they had...'

"Old Doctor, come out. The ghosts here are probably just below you. Eat them all up… you can have all of them; no need to divide with me." Liu Xiaodan spoke, but he was unknowingly releasing a kind of miasma from his body. The ghosts biting him started to retreat as if the miasma was scaring them.

"These ghosts… no good?" Old Doctor rose from the body, and he could feel his own body materializing. Moreover, that black miasma coming from Liu Xiaodan was making him hungry for the ones that surrounded them. A diagonal cut separated his body into either top or bottom, and it was actually Old Doctor's mouth.

"Yeah, they're no good..." Liu Xiaodan chuckled before closing his eyes again and channeling his consciousness towards someone that needed him. "I'll get back to you when you're done..."

Old Doctor then felt the man's consciousness vanish from the material body, but it couldn't possess Liu Xiaodan. His body was guarded by the miasma that if it regarded Old Doctor as an enemy, it would dissolve the greater ghost in an instant. The greater ghost swept its gaze at the multiple small-time ghosts around the room. If its lips could curl, it would smile… very wide.

"To human, you no good… to my belly? Very, very good..."
