The fireball floated up to the second floor of the villa!

Huang Xiaolong followed the fireball with a calm expression on his face. Cui Dong’s face was twisted with fear and his eyes widened with fright as he followed behind Huang Xiaolong.

“Dad… Don’t scare yourself.” Cui Feiyan felt sorry for her father so she hugged Cui Dong and comforted him softly. “There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world. We’ll expose his tricks soon.”

Uncle Fu said, “Master, don’t be nervous, no matter what happens, I’ll always do my best to protect the both of you.”

When Uncle Fu told him that, there was a heroic resolve and energetic look in his old eyes.

When Huang Xiaolong heard what they said while he walked in front of them, he could not help but shake his head and snicker.

‘Even though Uncle Fu here has strong Qi and is obviously a martial arts practitioner, dealing with ghosts and demons is like lighting a lantern in a hay house—only death awaits him!’

The fireball floated toward the outside of the master bedroom’s door on the second floor and stayed still in the air.

“L-Lil Master, t-this was the room that I-I slept in…” Cui Dong trembled as he spoke.

“Yup, it’s here.” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

The bedroom door was not locked. Huang Xiaolong grasped the doorknob, twisted it, and the door opened.

The room was pitch black and a gust of chilly wind blew out of the door, extinguishing the fireball.

It was the middle of summer and they living beside the sea meant the place was extremely hot. Furthermore, the air conditioning was not turned on in the villa. According to normal conditions, it should be as hot as it could be but that room was unusually cold. If someone blind were to get their face blown by that gust of wind, they would never have guessed they were at a bedroom. Instead, they would have thought that it was a freezer or something.

A sliver of excitement appeared in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes. He stepped into the bedroom and switched on the light.

The bedroom was instantly brightly lit.

“Come in.” Huang Xiaolong waved to Cui Dong and the rest of them.

“O-Okay…” Cui Dong trembled as he walked, with Cui Feiyan and Uncle Fu following from the side.

The bedroom was very spacious. It was approximately 50 to 60 square meters with imported solid wood flooring, antique mahogany furniture, and a hand-carved big bed frame.

Huang Xiaolong’s gaze fell toward the bottom of the bed.

“Hmph! Where’s the ghost? Didn’t you say that you wanted to show us a ghost?” As soon as she entered the room, Cui Feiyan looked around and acted boldly.

After she looked around, she did not see any ghosts!

She took a long sigh of relief and challenged him. “Let’s see how you explain yourself!”

Huang Xiaolong ignored Cui Feiyan and smiled at the bottom of the bed. “Hehe, you don’t have to hide anymore. Come out.”

As soon as he said that, a cold gust of air surged out from the bottom of the bed!

“Keke… Keke… Where did this little daoshi come from? How dare you nose around… Keke…” A terrifying female voice came from under the bed.

Right after that, a female ghost in red crawled out of the bed, raised her head, and stared at Huang Xiaolong grimly.

Its hair was disheveled and its face was covered in blood. Due to blood rushing to its head, all of the blood vessels on its face have burst and it looked extremely hideous. In its two hollow eye sockets, there were red fiery will-o’-the-wisps!

However, Cui Dong, Cui Feiyan, and Uncle Fu could not see it, nor could they hear its voice.

“Oh? A ghost in red?” Huang Xiaolong shook his head slightly. “This is going to be easy…”

Ghosts had different levels.

The lowest level of ghosts was loitering souls. In the seven days after their death, their souls would wander to their relatives in their houses. They would not harm anyone but only watch silently. After seven days, they would report to the netherworld.

Next, there were the wandering souls, which referred to the souls that did not report to the netherworld within the prescribed time limit for whatever reasons. They avoided the sun and would not harm people in the beginning. For example, the female ghost in white that resided at the back of the BYD F3 illegal taxi was a wandering soul.

After that, the next level of ghosts were the ones that had killed people and had a strong resentment toward humans. Those ghosts were called malicious spirits. Among the malicious spirits, they were divided by strength into the seven colors of the rainbow. They were not afraid of the sun and had the ability to murder people, as well as had special methods of doing so.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. The malicious spirit in red that stood in front of them was the weakest type of malicious spirit.

Even so, normal people would still be tortured to death if they encountered a malicious spirit in red.

“How valiant you are. Staying in the world, seeking wealth, and killing people. The crime of hurting the innocent is unforgivable…” Huang Xiaolong said, slightly languidly.

“Heh…” Cui Feiyan sneered from behind. “Aren’t you getting tired? Who are you talking to? A ghost? You know your acting isn’t believable, right?”

“Feiyan, your third eye isn’t opened yet. Naturally, you won’t be able to see such things, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. The malicious spirit in red is laughing at you…” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Alright, I guess it’s time for me to show you guys —— the revealing charm!”

Huang Xiaolong casually took out a piece of yellow paper fuzhuan from his trouser pocket. With a shake, the fuzhuan ignited spontaneously.

A bright golden light shone!

At the same time, the light in the bedroom seemed to be disrupted by some unknown force and flickered.

Wisps of cold air blew onto the necks of Cui Dong, Cui Feiyan, and Uncle Fu, which sent cold chills down their spines on that hot day.

“S-something feels a bit wrong…” Uncle Fu also had an eerie feeling in his heart and subconsciously took a step forward to shield Cui Feiyan and Cui Dong behind him.

“W-Where’s the ghost?” Cui Feiyan finally felt scared. She was terrified.

She plucked up her courage and looked intently at the hand-carved bed frame but found no abnormality.

“There. It flew to the ceiling.” Huang Xiaolong pointed his finger upward.

Cui Dong, Cui Feiyan, and Uncle Fu looked upward at the same time.

All of them saw the malicious spirit in red stuck upside down on the ceiling, with its hair was hanging upside down, with blood trickling down its face. On the corner of its mouth was a grin that could make anyone faint!

“Ah! A ghost!” Cui Dong took a sharp breath only to feel that his scalp numb with every strand of his hair standing!

“Master, Miss, you guys… Don’t be afraid…I-I’ll protect you…” That was the first time that Uncle Fu had seen a ghost and his strong Qi had long since disappeared, only to be replaced by shudders and trembling!

“Don’t come closer… you…” Cui Feiyan’s face turned pale and subconsciously ran toward Huang Xiaolong’s side. She stretched out her delicate hand, clutching Huang Xiaolong’s arm naturally, her entire body trembling.

That was an action that people subconsciously do when they seek protection in times of danger.

That meant that Cui Feiyan subconsciously believed that among the few people present, only Huang Xiaolong could protect her!

“I… I, Cui Dong, have never done anything bad. Nor have I hurt anyone… W-Why do you want t-to harm me? Every injustice has its perpetrator… I-I’m not the person you want… I’ll burn joss sticks and Hell Bank Notes for you… Please leave me alone…” Cui Dong begged for mercy.

“Uncle Cui, saying those things is equivalent to a blind person lighting a candle. You don’t have to bother saying any of that. Malicious spirits are lunatics dominated by obsession and hatred. It doesn’t matter to them whether you killed them or not. As long as they have their eyes on you, they will try their best to torture you to death. Fang Xiu.” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

“Die, little daoshi!” The malicious spirit in red screeched. Like an eagle catching a white rabbit she threw herself at Huang Xiaolong.

“Ah!” Cui Feiyan screamed in terror and her soul almost left her body. Instinctively, her hands clasped around Huang Xiaolong’s waist tightly!

A smile with a hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of Huang Xiaolong’s lips and he did not move an inch. Instead, he parted his lips—”Pfft…”

A spit of saliva sprayed onto the fierce malicious spirit in red that was heading for an attack!

Bang!!!!

The spit landed right in between the eyes of the malicious spirit in red. Right after that, it was as if thunderstorms formed and clashed inside the room. The form of the malicious spirit in red split into pieces and disintegrated into thin air!

At the speed of light, Huang Xiaolong took out a bamboo tube from his canvas bag. He opened the lid and pointed the opening at where the malicious spirit in red was.

The scattered parts of the malicious spirit in red turned into strands of black smoke immediately and miserable screams were heard as it got sucked into the bamboo tube.

Huang Xiaolong smiled and closed the lid.

The lighting in the bedroom returned to normal and it seemed like the cold air was dissipating as it slowly became warmer.

“Feiyan, have you had enough of holding me?” Huang Xiaolong looked back at Cui Feiyan who was hugging him with a smile on his face.
