Chapter 73: His Daughter is awake

Chapter 73

In front of the stunned gazes of Nie Xiujin and others, five little paper figures scurried over and bit into the parasitic ghost's remaining leg that hadn't been pulled out yet.

United they stood, with all their might the five little figures tugged and pulled that leg right out.

At the same time, Jian Xi placed a Soul-Stabilizing Talisman she had prepared earlier on Song Min, stabilizing her soul, and also removed the jade bangle with bells from her wrist.

Jian Xi knew that the jade bangle was the 'vessel' for the parasitic ghost. The ghost had been possessing Song Min's body earlier, so the bangle couldn't be removed then. But now...

She held the jade bangle with distaste, turning to look at the parasitic ghost.

Zhang Xiaoxia stared at Jian Xi in horror, completely taken aback by how someone could separate a being that had already fused eighty percent with its host!

And moreover... she looked at the unconscious Song Min on the bed, not even a single hair on her soul had been harmed!

Zhang Xiaoxia released her power, trying to break free from Jian Xi's restraints. "Impossible, impossible! I want to go back, that body is mine! Mine! I still need to marry He Qingchen, give me back my bangle!"

Jian Xi: "......"

At this point, she was still thinking about marrying her boyfriend? This, Jian Xi could not tolerate.

It was noon, He Qingchen should be free at the moment. Jian Xi made a video call to him, standing in front of Zhang Xiaoxia.

The screen showed Zhang Xiaoxia's corporeal form. Jian Xi tilted her head slightly, a mischievous smile on her red lips. "Since you want to marry He Qingchen so badly, I'll grant you that wish before you dissipate into nothingness!"

The video connected, revealing He Qingchen's handsome face. Seeing Zhang Xiaoxia behind Jian Xi, his brow furrowed slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, Jian Xi cut in, "Boyfriend, there's someone, no, a ghost who says she wants to marry you. What do you think?"

"Heh, in this lifetime, I'll only marry you." He Qingchen spoke each word deliberately, his expression playful yet his tone utterly serious.

Jian Xi's brows curved in delight, nodding in satisfaction. She turned to Zhang Xiaoxia, arching an eyebrow. "Did you hear that? My boyfriend said in this lifetime, he'll only marry me!"

The bangle and Zhang Xiaoxia were linked, so as the bangle burned, she also suffered immense agony, her soul gradually becoming transparent.

Once the bangle had turned to ash, Jian Xi opened the Ghost Gate and kicked Zhang Xiaoxia through it.

With this matter resolved, only the still-unconscious Song Min remained. Checking the time, Jian Xi saw she still had a spare ten minutes, plenty of time.

She approached Song Min's bedside to examine her condition.

Beside her, Lin Xi Wen adjusted his glasses and said, "I've already spoken with Mr. Song. We'll be sending her to the hospital shortly. I tried convincing him for a while, but he still doesn't want to give up on his daughter."

"Give up... on Song Min? Why would he give up on her?" Jian Xi was puzzled.

Lin Xi Wen explained, "You may not know this, but the ongoing treatment costs for a vegetative patient are extremely high, likely more than a single father like Mr. Song can afford."

As he spoke, he glanced at Song Zhou, who seemed unsurprised, as if he had already prepared himself for this.

Having said so much already, Jian Xi was too lazy to keep talking. She was thirsty now. Turning to Song Zhou, she said, "Mr. Song, do you have anything to drink at home? I'm thirsty!"

Though still consumed by the sadness of his daughter potentially becoming a vegetative patient, Song Zhou also felt a bit embarrassed. This woman had been working tirelessly for his family's sake, yet he hadn't even offered her a drink. That was unacceptable.

"Sorry about that, I do have drinks. Let me go get some water for everyone."

As Song Zhou went to get water, Jian Xi didn't idle either. She took out a silver needle and an alcohol swab from her bracelet, sterilized the needle, then jabbed it right into the area between Song Min's eyebrows.

"Ah!" Song Min let out a pained cry, her brows furrowing.

Lin Xi Wen behind her was dumbstruck. Nie Xiujin froze in shock. Tang Xingyou, Shi Fan, and Qi Yunzheng all let out shrill screams like prairie dogs!

Song Zhou rushed back in, carrying six water bottles. "What happened? What's going on?"

When he saw his daughter, now awake and looking at him, the water bottles slipped from his hands and fell to the floor.

His daughter was awake!
