Chapter 567: Qin Ruan Goes to the sky Bridge for Lifespan Extension
White Impermanence had an unusually eerie expression on his face. His usually expressionless, fair and beautiful face now showed a comical look, as if he was enjoying a show.
Qin Ruan's cold eyes revealed a faint smile. She nodded to White Impermanence, "Thank you, Mr. Bai."
"Miss Qin, you're too polite," White Impermanence quickly bowed.
The sight dumbfounded Wu Daochang and Li Manning, who were not far away. This was none other than White Impermanence, the revered figure who governed the myriad spirits of the Underworld and instilled fear in countless souls.
White Impermanence stood up straight and his sinister gaze swept over Wu Daochang and Li Manning, the two spirits. His tone turned cold again, "Miss Qin, I'll take these two spirits away first."
"Wait a moment."
Before White Impermanence could take Wu Daochang and Li Manning away, Qin Ruan wanted to absorb all the Yin energy from their bodies. Once the Yin energy dissipated, the two spirits would become harmless and weak, like ordinary specters.
Li Manning felt reluctant as she was about to leave with White Impermanence. She asked, "Will I see you again?"
Observing her appearance, Qin Ruan spoke with certainty, "I think you will."
...
Time flew by. Qin Ruan had been attending school for half a month.
Since she absorbed the Yin energy from Li Manning and Wu Daochang half a month ago, the red thread on her arm hadn't shown any signs of further shortening.
Half a month ago, Qin Ruan had told White Impermanence that she wanted to meet the King of the Underworld. But after all this time, there had been no response from the King of the Underworld.
It was unclear whether the other party was intentionally delaying or simply ignoring her.
During the half month of school, Qin Ruan had enough time to manage everything and resume her normal campus life. Due to her pregnancy and special status, she couldn't stay in the dormitory, so the car from the Hou family picked her up and dropped her off at school every day.
On this evening, Qin Ruan got into the car that came to pick her up from the Hou family.
The driver today was Lin Hao.
After getting into the car, Qin Ruan placed the book in her arms on the empty seat beside her. She gazed out at the scenery outside the road with a blank expression.
Suddenly, her eyes flickered.
Qin Ruan looked at Lin Hao, who was driving attentively, and spoke up, "brother Hao, let's go to the Tongsha Heavenly Bridge."
Lin Hao sounded slightly surprised, "Not going home?"
"Master has been busy lately and I haven't been able to see him. Let's go to the Tongsha Heavenly Bridge and find Master Song Banxian."
She wanted to see if she would encounter someone with Yin energy like herself.
Even a small piece of mosquito meat is still meat.
As long as she could prolong her life, even if it was just for one day, she wouldn't consider it too little.
Lin Hao hesitated, "Shouldn't we inform Master about this?"
"No need. We'll be back before 10 o'clock."
Qin Ruan knew that even if she didn't report it, Master would know where she was if he wanted to.
Besides, it wasn't necessary to bother him with this matter.
Since the start of the school year, she had seen Master very few times.
The assets of the Nangong family's various industries had been divided among other families and aristocratic clans. The downfall of a noble family had originated from the Hou family, and it was ultimately up to the Hou family to clean up the mess.
Master Hou has been very busy with this matter recently.
It should be said that ever since Li Manning and Wu Daochang were sent away half a month ago, Hou Yunjiao has been busy to the point of disappearing. They occasionally meet, but their time together is always brief.
Every time Qin Ruan wakes up in the middle of the night, the space beside her is empty. She has also contacted Hou Chuan to ask where Master stays overnight when he's not at home. The answer she received was Walton Hospital in the United States.
Qin Ruan is aware of this place, as it is beneficial for Master's health. Her sense of loss from not being able to see Hou Yunjiao has also dissipated to some extent. It's clear that Master's long-term busyness must be taking a toll on his body, and having a place to cultivate and relax, like Walton Hospital, would help alleviate his fatigue.
Both Walton Hospital in the United States and the Xiangxi Manor are feng shui paradises created by Lingxuzi with great effort for Hou Yunjiao. These places are abundant in spiritual energy and can merge well with Master's current physique, providing him with a place to reside long-term and extend his lifespan.
At this moment, Qin Ruan has no idea what Hou Yunjiao is currently facing.
...
Sky Bridge.
Song Banxian is setting up his stall as usual. Suddenly, he receives a phone call informing him that Qin Ruan is coming. He quickly prepares a new booth next to his.
Just as he finishes arranging the various items, he sees a familiar person approaching.
"Master, Master, you must save me!"
He is a thin and pale man with dark circles under his eyes. A discomforting aura surrounds him.
Song Banxian remembers this person, Huang Biao. Huang Biao is involved in shady business dealings. Over a month ago, Huang Biao came to him for a fortune-telling.
At his age, Huang Biao didn't want to continue wandering in the jianghu and wanted to retire. However, he was disrupted by the rise of newcomers. Frustrated, he sought fortune-telling to find solace.
Huang Biao was generous with his spending and initially seemed like a good customer for future business. However, he foolishly provoked Qin Ruan, wanting to keep her as his mistress. He really didn't know his place. Qin Ruan is not someone he can afford to mess with.
Song Banxian furrows his brow as he looks at Huang Biao, his face veiled in black mist and his emaciated figure. Over a month ago, Huang Biao had a protruding belly, but now he has lost more than a circle of weight. His belly is gone, and his body has become thin.
Normally, when a person loses weight, they should look energetic, but Huang Biao appears weak and depleted, as if something has hollowed out his body.
Song Banxian withdraws his gaze and coldly sits back at his stall. His voice carries a hint of coldness as he says, "So, it's Mr. Huang. What brings you here today?"
Huang Biao, accompanied by two subordinates, sits at Song Banxian's stall. He looks around anxiously and nervously addresses Song Banxian, "Master, please save me! I don't know what I've encountered in the past half month. I have been plagued by nightmares every day. As you can see, I've drastically lost weight during this time. I've been to the hospital, but they couldn't find anything wrong. I feel like I'm on the verge of death."
The current Huang Biao is completely different from the person who harassed Qin Ruan before. His once arrogant demeanor has faded, and his eyes have become cloudy. He lacks vitality and is clearly depleted of yang energy, indicating that he has attracted something unclean.
Song Banxian tidies up his stall, showing a disinterested attitude towards Huang Biao. "Mr. Huang, you are a capable person. I am just a humble sorcerer of the jianghu. I'm afraid I can't help you."
Without even looking at Huang Biao, his refusal is evident.
Huang Biao knows that over a month ago, he offended Song Banxian's advice and provoked the girl by his side. In order to save his life, Huang Biao signals to his accompanying subordinates. One of them carries a briefcase and places it on Song Banxian's table.
With swift movements, the subordinate opens the case, revealing neatly arranged red bills inside. There are at least several hundred thousand yuan in cash.
Song Banxian's hand trembles slightly as he tidies his table, his eyes gleaming at the sight of the money. This is a substantial sum! No one can resist the allure of money, and Song Banxian is no exception.
Finally, he raises his gaze to meet Huang Biao's heavily clouded face, with darkened eye sockets and swirling black energy around his brow.
Under Huang Biao's desperate expression, Song Banxian shakes his head lightly. "Mr. Huang, I cannot save you."
