Chapter 588: Old man, still so narrow-minded!
The door was closed, and no movement could be heard inside the room.
Seeing Qin Ruan appear, Lin Hao and the hidden guards finally let go of their anxiety.
Qin Ruan shook her head at them. "Make way for me first."
Lin Hao looked inside the room immediately upon hearing her words, and saw the five ghosts lying on the ground.
His face turned pale, and he quickly stepped back.
The guards of the Hou family couldn't see the ghosts, so they followed Qin Ruan's orders and made way.
Qin Ruan turned back and said to the ghosts inside the room, "You can try again."
The ghost closest to the door, ghost Two, extended his hand and tentatively waved it in front of the door.
His hand could pass through the door, and the light from outside fell on his pale hand.
Ghost Two's eyes emitted a chilling light.
He said excitedly to his brothers behind him, whom he had spent several months with, "I'll go first. My King of Hundred Stars is beckoning me to charge, and once I become a Star King, I'll return to the peak to reunite with you all!"
The other four ghosts saw ghost Two's behavior and knew they could really leave this time.
They all stood up and left the room like a gust of wind.
As they rushed out of the Lou Hong's door, Qin Ruan's low and warning voice echoed, "Do not enter the Netherworld, and do not disrupt the human world order. Otherwise, you will soon see me again."
"Understood, I don't want to see you again, you wicked woman!" Ghost Two's soul penetrated the security door, and his shouting voice was clearly heard.
The other four ghosts also responded immediately, fleeing the scene.
The chilling atmosphere inside the room dissipated, and under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, Qin Ruan slowly walked up to the frightened Lou Hong.
"You, don't come any closer," Lou Hong felt terrified by this woman.
He couldn't make sense of her inexplicable behavior just now. Though there was no one else in the room, it felt like she was communicating with some unknown creature, which gave him a creepy feeling.
The expression on his face, on the verge of tears, made him feel like a bully picking on the weak, which he could see from Qin Ruan's eyes.
Qin Ruan stopped, her emotionless gaze falling on Lou Hong. After a brief pause, she gently asked, "Since the accident, have you felt that something is not right during the six months of your recovery at home?"
"No, nothing is wrong. I'm fine!" Lou Hong spoke rapidly.
He continued to back away until he reached the door.
His intention to escape was apparent to anyone.
Qin Ruan rubbed her forehead and helplessly said, "You don't need to be afraid of me. I just have a few words to advise you."
Lou Hong, though slow in reaction, was not stupid.
Her inexplicable behavior just now made it clear that this woman was not ordinary and very dangerous.
Lou Hong placed his hand on the doorknob, his eyes showing fear, "Who are you exactly?"
Qin Ruan cleared her throat and said, "I am a Celestial Master."
Actually, she couldn't really be considered a Celestial Master.
However, facing Lou Hong's resistance, she had to say it to avoid rejection.
"A Celestial Master?!" Lou Hong was astonished, "You, you are a Celestial Master, then why are you here?"
His rejection was apparent on his face.
Qin Ruan squinted her eyes and decided to be straightforward, "Lou Hong, you've been afflicted by an evil spirit in these six months. I suggest you find another place to live as soon as possible."
"The magnetic field of this house has changed, and living here for an extended period can affect your health and fortune. At best, you'll fall ill, but at worst, it could endanger your life."
"Also, don't walk alone at night in the short term. Take care of your health before focusing on your studies."
Lou Hong was a science student, introverted, withdrawn, and skeptical of the supernatural.
"I've been living here for so long, and nothing bad has happened. You coming to my house and scaring me like this, what's your purpose?" He stared at Qin Ruan accusingly, looking like she was bullying him.
Qin Ruan's lips twitched. "That's not an illusion. Move out of here as soon as possible, find a clean place to live, and take good care of yourself."
Lou Hong looked skeptical, "Really?"
Qin Ruan replied, "I'm not lying to you. In the future, avoid walking alone at night, it's not safe."
"I'm scared, can you stay with me? Let me find another place first, I've been living here just fine, and now you tell me such terrifying things. I don't dare to be alone, sob..."
Lou Hong, a grown man, sounded more and more aggrieved.
His nose turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes, uncontrollably falling down his face and not even reaching his chin.
For the first time, Qin Ruan saw a man cry so beautifully that it didn't make people repulsed.
She instructed one of the guards, "You stay here and help him. There's nothing dangerous in the room, so don't worry."
"Yes, Madam," the guard responded, bowing his head.
Looking at the damaged door in the utility room, Qin Ruan added, "By the way, fix the door and compensate for any damages if it can't be repaired."
"Yes—"
After giving the instructions, Qin Ruan and Lin Hao, along with the other guards, left Lou Hong's house.
Today, third young master was going back to the Hou residence, so Qin Ruan decided to go home and check on it first.
She would deal with Xiao Guang and that female ghost later.
After all, she wasn't afraid of them escaping in the Netherworld.
...
Hou residence.
After Qin Ruan returned, she found the house still as desolate as before.
She asked a servant, "Where's Hou Chuan?"
The servant respectfully replied, "Madam, he went to see Hou Zhi."
Hou Zhi had returned and had been bedridden for a while.
During this time, Hou Chuan stayed at home, taking care of her.
Lin Hao stepped forward and asked, "Should I go find him?"
Qin Ruan threw her windbreaker on the sofa in the hall and shook her head, "No need, I'll go upstairs first. Let me know when third young master comes back."
"Alright."
Once she reached her room, Qin Ruan locked the door.
She walked to the balcony and manually closed all the curtains in the room.
The cold light in Qin Ruan's eyes gradually dimmed as the room became darker.
In the quiet room, her cold and commanding voice slowly echoed.
"I, Qin Ruan, under the command of the ancestral Ghost Lord and the Netherworld Emperor, have control over the deities of the Netherworld. Let the Emperor of the North Netherworld, the Great Emperor of the Fengdu, act immediately! Pluto, where are you? Return at once!"
Qin Ruan's voice carried a penetrating force, and the power fluctuated within the Six Realms.
When the Fengdu Great Emperor's command was issued, a golden light flashed in the dim room.
A faint golden light enveloped Qin Ruan.
She was covered in this golden light, solemn and divine, unapproachable.
Qin Ruan's skin, under the golden light, was as white as a pure snow lotus, and her eyes sparkled like stars.
"Qin Ruan!"
Through gritted teeth, a furious voice resounded in the quiet room.
Qin Ruan's golden eyes moved slightly, and her gaze locked onto the dark corner.
There, a figure moved slowly.
Qin Ruan's lips curled up, and her starry eyes gleamed with a cold light. "Pluto is really difficult to invite. If I hadn't invoked the Fengdu Great Emperor, when were you planning to come and see me?"
The figure in the corner slowly approached, and the powerful oppressive aura emanating from him filled the room with a thick, black fog, shrouding everything.
Pluto was clearly angry.
But Qin Ruan was also displeased.
Pluto moved to stand in front of Qin Ruan, and the overwhelming aura suddenly dissipated. The thick black fog also gradually weakened.
He lowered his head and stared at the red thread on Qin Ruan's arm. "What happened?"
Qin Ruan rolled up her sleeve and pointed to the red thread on the inner side of her arm, saying, "This lifeline is getting shorter day by day. Although my body absorbs a lot of ominous energy, it never gets enough. In these past few months, my lifespan has been prolonged, but in just a few days, it's decreased by more than tenfold. If this continues, I will die before the day of childbirth."
Pluto moved closer to Qin Ruan and reached out to touch the red thread on her arm.
But as soon as he stretched his hand out, he was injured by the golden light surrounding Qin Ruan.
His pale hand seemed to be burned, and faint black smoke emanated from it.
Pluto quickly retracted his hand, cursing, "Old man, still so narrow-minded!"
With a wave of his black robe, the black fog on his hand dissipated, and the burn on his finger disappeared.
Pluto's gaze fell on the red thread on Qin Ruan's arm. "You're pregnant with two greedy beings. Your ominous energy is insufficient. Find a way to absorb more."
Qin Ruan raised the corner of her lips, smiling faintly. "In any case, there must be an end to it, right?"
Her expression was calm and indifferent, as always.
