SCWP Chapter 20

Dream Person

Dream Person

What Lin Qichi couldn’t see behind the dense Yin energy was the male ghost he had just bid farewell to last night. Dressed in a fiery red wedding gown, the servants beside him wore mourning clothes, an illusionary layer of Yin energy swirling over the mourning attire.

This group dressed in hemp and mourning was precisely the Heavenly Master Association members who had just been released. Standing at the front were Wen Ren Shu, looking crestfallen, seemingly not yet corroded by the Yin energy to the point of losing his mind.

The other, Wen Ren Yan, wasn’t so fortunate. His eyes rolled upwards, his expression wooden and blank, appearing completely controlled, a living corpse.

But all of this was concealed by the Yin energy spreading around, forming a three-foot radius vacuum around Lin Qichi, preventing him from seeing anything outside that zone, and preventing those outside from seeing him.

After Wen Ren Shu uncontrollably shouted that sentence, he secretly cursed. He knew his brother would definitely come to investigate, despite being told not to.

By the time Wen Ren Yi sent a message, it was already too late.

The overwhelming Yin energy suddenly swept in, catching everyone off guard. Most were pulled into One Chi Alley, but no one knew why.

As soon as they were drawn in, they fell into a maze of confusion. It wasn’t a difficult array originally, but there was too much Yin energy, constantly accumulating within One Chi Alley.

The juniors who came to broaden their horizons had long since been trapped, leaving only Wen Ren Shu, protected by a pile of talismans and ritual implements, barely maintaining consciousness, his body acting contrary to his own will.

Seeing this, the elders planned to use this to their advantage, first to find out what the person behind all this wanted.

So, by the time Lin Qichi arrived, the welcoming party was ready, waiting only for the bride to enter.

Lin Qichi put away the talisman papers. To break the array just now, he had used ones with great destructive power. Behind this layer of Yin energy, he sensed the faint aura of Wen Ren Shu’s talisman.

The surrounding environment had become much more open due to the illusion. Lin Qichi raised the sword in his hand. Though long stored in the tomb, it remained dust-free. The blade was a little over three feet long, dark and heavy, feeling substantial in his hand.

Lin Qichi slowly pushed open the scabbard, holding the sword in front of his chest, his body slightly bent, in a defensive and ready-to-attack posture.

“Are you going to kill me?”

The outsider, wearing a tall crown and preparing to welcome the bride, was taken aback. Since the Yin energy came from him, he could naturally see Lin Qichi’s movements clearly through it.

“No.” Although that’s what he answered, Lin Qichi didn’t relax his grip on the sword in the slightest.

“Then why are you holding the sword?” Though the person saw clearly, he still held a glimmer of hope.

Hearing his brother’s voice, Wen Ren Shu’s eyes lit up at once. Then, remembering that even those big shots couldn’t beat this ghost, wouldn’t his brother be even more in danger? He couldn’t help but feel a pang of fear.

He thought dejectedly: Did I get him involved again?

“I’m just returning something to its original owner.”

“That’s not mine.” The ghost’s voice was aggrieved, but he still told Lin Qichi, “That was left behind by the old man who killed me.”

“Can it kill you?” Lin Qichi’s heart stirred. He had already planned to completely separate these two Qi Feiyu. Just a lover from one world, getting entangled again in a new world would only add to the trouble. Besides, he was already married. Now, he only needed to care about his mission.

Wen Ren Shu, who had been following Lin Qichi, keenly felt that his brother was really angry. He subconsciously wanted to shrink back.

“Not now.” The powerful evil ghost patiently explained, as the surrounding Yin energy gathered again. “That could only hurt me when I was alive. Nothing can kill me now.”

Hearing this sentence, the hearts of the few Heavenly Masters who were still conscious sank halfway.

“Don’t talk nonsense. You’re not the Way of Heaven. What can’t be killed?” Lin Qichi waved his sword irritably. If it couldn’t, then why could the female protagonist kill him easily when she held the sword at the end? If the thing couldn’t, then what about the feeling? Did he like that female protagonist so much?

Wen Ren Shu, who had been following Lin Qichi, keenly felt that his brother was really angry. He subconsciously wanted to shrink back.

“Are you angry?” The ghost seemed to have noticed his emotional change, and even his questions were tinged with caution.

“Yes.” Lin Qichi answered indifferently, and directly holding the sword, strode towards the clump of Yin energy that was obviously heavier in color than the other directions.

Seeing him coming, the Yin energy there hesitated, gathering and dispersing. The large red patch flickered indistinctly under the cover of the Yin energy.

“I’ve come to welcome the bride.” Lin Qichi grabbed the most obvious patch of red, dazzling, vivid red, like his current mood, boiling hot, intensely hot.

The Yin energy beside him scattered, revealing a dazed newlywed holding a large red bouquet.

Lin Qichi persuaded himself to break up amicably, but even keeping a dog for those days should have fostered some feelings. They weren’t clueless youths, and Qi Feiyu liked to pester him, acting cute and seductive every day. Lin Qichi thought: Didn’t they seem to have broken up yet?

“You provoked me first.” Lin Qichi grabbed the bouquet and pulled the person into his arms. “What’s wrong, my dear? Aren’t we going to bow?”

Qi Feiyu seemed stunned, blankly leaning against Lin Qichi’s embrace. The surrounding audience was also shocked. Wen Ren Shu couldn’t control himself and screamed, “Old bro, you’re coming out of the closet, and it’s a human-ghost relationship?!”

“Did I or did I not tell you to stay in the house obediently?” Lin Qichi got angry as soon as he heard Wen Ren Shu’s voice. Who was he doing this for?

“I’m sorry, old bro, I was wrong.” Although the scene before him was like a dream, Wen Ren Yi’s terrifying status in Wen Ren Shu’s heart was not for show. Wen Ren Shu obediently shrank back and stood in his place. Only after everything had settled did he suddenly realize: He could move!

Wen Ren Shu secretly glanced at the welcoming team behind him. Everyone else was still the same, as if he was the only one who could move. Looking at the figure in his brother’s arms, he shuddered with terror. No wonder, after they came in, only the talismans on him could be used.

“I’ll deal with you later,” Lin Qichi waved at Wen Ren Shu, carrying the male ghost who was trying to feign weakness to muddle through, and walked towards the depths of the dense fog.

Estimating that they were some distance away, Lin Qichi stopped. After pulling Wen Ren Shu a little further away, he threw the sword directly on the ground and stretched his muscles.

He said to Qi Feiyu, “Let’s have a fight before we talk about anything else.” As a flawless Ghost King, Qi Feiyu should be very resistant to beatings now, right?

A blush, as red as cinnabar, suddenly crept from Qi Feiyu’s cheeks to the tips of his ears. He lowered his head and murmured softly, “N-now…?”

Lin Qichi couldn’t figure out how a ghost could blush. Before Lin Qichi came, he was like a pure evil ghost, wantonly teasing the Heavenly Master Association members with illusions. As soon as Lin Qichi arrived, he was really like a shy groom, joyfully anticipating his wedding night.

Lin Qichi pinched Qi Feiyu’s chin, forcing him to look up, his thumb rubbing against the blush, the touch under his fingertips warm, even warmer than the temperature of a living person like Lin Qichi.

Lin Qichi rubbed for a while, then frowned and said, “Too red, baby. It looks a bit like broken capillaries.”

“I’m… I’m sorry.” Qi Feiyu rubbed against Lin Qichi’s hand in an attempt to please, his eyes sparkling, with a bit of expectation that they both knew well.

Lin Qichi was now truly convinced that this silly little guy was really his Little Fish.

“When did you come? Did you know how dangerous it is here?” Lin Qichi tugged at the soft flesh on Qi Feiyu’s face. Although he had become a ghost, the feeling was still exactly the same as when he was human, even the temperature under his hand was so real. Thinking of the information he had found, he couldn’t help but scold in his heart, and the force in his hand increased a bit.

“I miss you. I miss you so much.” Qi Feiyu hugged Lin Qichi tightly. Although the person in front of him didn’t have any similar features, his intuition told him that this was the person he was looking for.

The one… that he had been expecting in his heart.

“The auspicious hour has arrived. Bride, let’s go to the bridal chamber.” Lin Qichi looked down at the figure shrinking in his arms. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the person in his arms seemed to have shrunk a bit.

“Mm.” Lin Qichi could say anything, and he would naturally agree. Qi Feiyu simply wanted to listen to him, not because he was indecisive, but simply because he wanted to obey him. An emotion that he had never had in his past, but it didn’t feel bad.

Qi Feiyu liked to cling to him, and Lin Qichi was used to doting on him. Just as he was preparing to pick up this big ghost, he put some strength in his hands, and Qi Feiyu stood up.

Lin Qichi looked in shock at the little child in his arms, who looked to be only eight or nine years old. The one in his arms just now wasn’t this, right?

The surrounding Yin energy had dissipated at some point, revealing a group of people neatly arranged behind him. Except for a dull-witted Wen Ren Shu looking around in confusion, the others had fallen for unknown reasons. Wen Ren Shu was looking around to see if there were any survivors besides him.

If it was just him alone, taking care of so many people would be too much. He couldn’t do it at all!

Feeling that the surrounding temperature seemed to have risen a bit, Wen Ren Shu turned his head warily, and saw his brother hugging a little ghost that he didn’t know where it came from.

The surrounding Yin energy had already dissipated, so they should have already left One Chi Alley. The place was very empty, with a sky full of stars above, and even a dry well could be seen not far away.

Lin Qichi took the little ghost into his arms and tentatively called out softly, “Baby?”

“Wife.” The little ghost responded obediently, but his voice slowly lowered.

Lin Qichi held him higher and found that he had already fallen asleep. What?

No… what’s going on? Lin Qichi shouted in his heart. Why did he suddenly fall asleep? Because children sleep a lot?

Lin Qichi laughed at himself, raised his foot and walked to Wen Ren Shu’s side, and said, “Tonight’s events, you can’t tell anyone.”

“Old bro, you…” Wen Ren Shu carefully observed Lin Qichi’s face, which was still expressionless. He boldly pointed to Lin Qichi’s arms and continued, “A child bride…?”

The little ghost slept peacefully in Lin Qichi’s arms, not afraid of the talismans and ritual implements on his body at all.

Lin Qichi’s mouth twitched. Qi Feiyu had suddenly turned into a small child, making his testimony unreliable. He couldn’t explain himself.

Wen Ren Shu scratched his head a little embarrassedly. The experience of being led around like a dog by this evil ghost in One Chi Alley was still vivid. He wanted to say something more, but when he saw what Lin Qichi was holding in his arms, all the sound died down.

“Brother, I… I’ll go check on the others first. The maze in One Chi Alley has been broken. Wen Ren Yan might bring the family here later. Don’t… why don’t you take that… back and wait?”

Wen Ren Shu couldn’t guess what Lin Qichi meant, but the house had already been covered with talismans by them, and no matter how strong the ghost was, he could last for a while. As long as the others from the main family arrived, the Ghost King wouldn’t dare to come easily.

Lin Qichi could certainly guess what Wen Ren Shu was thinking and agreed with a wry smile. He warned Wen Ren Shu not to let anyone near the dry well, then tightened his grip on the little ghost and left first.

Wen Ren Shu repeatedly agreed. This experience in One Chi Alley was too bleak. Except for Wen Ren Yi, he really didn’t dare to trust anyone anymore.

With his biggest backer gone, Wen Ren Shu began to dispel the confusion spells on the other Heavenly Masters with a headache. Unfortunately, he hadn’t mastered the art, and he had to call his old man for off-site assistance halfway through.

Looking at the many people who had fallen behind his son, Wen Ren Jin knocked over a table full of official documents in tension.

Wen Ren Shu couldn’t resist his threatening questions and confessed everything in detail.

Wen Ren Jin warned his unfortunate son that he must never reveal the relationship between Wen Ren Yi and that ghost to anyone, and just say that he finally used the family’s secret method to suppress the evil ghost.

After repeatedly reiterating it several times, Wen Ren Jin hurriedly packed his things, preparing to rush to Fancheng overnight.

As soon as Wen Ren Jin moved, Heavenly Masters from other places also received news that the people sent to One Chi Alley by their clan had suddenly disappeared again.

Wen Ren Yan, who had been guarding outside One Chi Alley, was the first to feel the changes inside. The dense Yin energy that was close to a solid, suddenly disappeared, and One Chi Alley seemed to have turned back into an ordinary alley.

Wen Ren Yan didn’t dare to be careless and transmitted the message to the main family in real time. The fierce killing intent in that Yin energy was definitely not something their juniors could solve.

The matter of One Chi Alley was completely unable to be concealed.

Lin Qichi belatedly realized that something was wrong. What did this little ghost call him just now? Wife? After not seeing him for a few months, had his courage grown so much? And yesterday’s dream, suddenly running away at the bottom of the well, and the killing intent that followed closely behind.

Lin Qichi held the little ghost who had shrunk into a ball in his arms. Today was a rare full moon, and the moonlight made it easy to recall the previous full moon.

It was when he went out to investigate and heard Ye Chenxi and En Sihan discussing how to plot against him. It seemed like there was an old man on the way back. Right, what did that demented old man say at the time?

“Your pillow person will turn into a vengeful ghost and kill the entire world. Only you… only you…” “Heh, your fate is also coming to an end, there’s no saving you.” “You can still withdraw now, there’s still time.”

Those were all unpleasant sentences. Lin Qichi looked down at the person sleeping soundly in his arms.

A vengeful ghost who would kill the world? They had entangled together again until now, so it seemed like it was too late.

Lin Qichi held the little ghost up a bit higher, but still felt that his Little Fish was a bit strange. It was better to interrogate him properly after he woke up.

Lin Qichi didn’t plan to take Qi Feiyu back to the house near One Chi Alley. En Sihan was still there, and many things were inconvenient. He didn’t plan to let the two meet so early.

When Qi Feiyu woke up again, Lin Qichi had already bought a house for him in Fancheng. Although the procedures hadn’t been completed yet, with Lin Qichi’s money, moving in early wasn’t a problem.

While the two of them were having a peaceful time here, One Chi Alley was about to be a mess on the other side.

The Wen Ren family, who came first, was known for their strong output and weak treatment in the Heavenly Master Association. To put it bluntly, they were a group of berserkers without priests or healers.

A large group came early in the morning, but it was useless!

Wen Ren Shu still had to painstakingly hide Wen Ren Yi’s whereabouts. What he didn’t know was that Wen Ren Yi had already hidden his tracks and slipped away long ago. In the house he was trying to hide, only En Sihan was staying there unknowingly.

Qi Feiyu had woken up, and the house that had just been obtained was about to become exciting.

Lin Qichi was the first to notice that the little ghost had woken up. It was the same as in the previous world, Qi Feiyu would have a lot of small movements every time he woke up. The most obvious was the long, crow-feather-like eyelashes, trembling slightly to tell the person next to him that their owner had woken up.

Every time this happened, it was difficult to resist the bewitchment of this beauty. Lin Qichi followed his heart and slowly approached Qi Feiyu’s cheek, and his dry lips touched the eyes that had awakened first.

The feeling under his lips was ice-cold, and the version had been shrunk a lot, like kissing a beautiful little porcelain doll.

The little ghost trembled his eyes, not daring to pretend to sleep anymore. He opened his eyes and pushed Lin Qichi away, protectively hugging the quilt and shrinking into a corner of the bed.

Lin Qichi smiled and rubbed the corner of his mouth, as if the soft touch was still stuck there, and explained to the little ghost, “A good morning kiss, baby.”

Now he had verified that there was really a problem with his Little Fish.
