This time, he slept soundly. By the time he woke up, it was already evening.

"Wenwen, you woke up."

A translucent face appeared in front of me. The sun was about to set, and the warm orange sunlight made Mu Feng's figure shine with a soft golden light.

I moved my neck in a more comfortable position and remained in bed.

I didn't notice before that Mu Feng was quite delicate and pretty, with a slight gentleness in the firm lines of the corners of his jaw, no more or less just right. His long and narrow phoenix eyes were always looking at me with such gentleness, his hair was combed with the oil of the olden days, he had the aura of a book from the time of the Republic of China.

I couldn't help but think that since he became a ghost, he would look so good. When he was alive, he must also be a gentle and humble young master.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Did you suddenly realize that you're in love with me?"

A cold sensation came from the tip of my nose. Mu Feng extended his finger and scratched my nose, smiling gently and lovingly.

My face reddened as I hastily turned my head to the window and said guiltily, "It's all up to you. I just woke up from my dream."

Mu Feng laughed and told me to get up.

I rolled over and looked away from him, frowning and bent over the tangled laces, but I knew that a pair of eyes had always been on me.

Just as I opened the door, I bumped into Taoist Su at the door. He also just came out of the house. I was staying at the opposite door to him. We met in the corridor.

"Sir." I happily waved my hand and greeted Taoist Su.

"I must have been tired after sleeping for so long."

I lowered my head and smiled shyly. I just wanted to take a nap, but didn't expect an afternoon to pass.

"Two guests, it's time to eat."

I looked towards the direction where the sound came from. At the corner of the corridor, the fat auntie who had been busying herself in the kitchen exposed half of her body as she expressionlessly looked in our direction.

Taoist Su and I smiled at each other and followed the fat auntie to the dining room. There was food on the table, but just like in the afternoon, Shujun and Master Hong didn't eat with us.

But that's also good. Only Daoist Priest Su and I can be a bit less restrained.

Mu Feng is very strange at times. As long as others are by my side, he will be very quiet, to the point that I would often ignore his existence. However, when I am with him, he will talk a lot more and it will be very sticky.

After dinner, Taoist Su and I went back to our room. When we reached the door, Taoist Su told me in a low voice that we would go to the backyard of the Hong family at midnight.

After that, we went to our respective rooms. I looked at the time, it was now 8: 30, there was still some time before 12: 00.

This room only had simple furniture. I was bored and fished out pen and paper from my suitcase.

"Come here." I waved at Mu Feng, who sat down beside me. When he saw the item in my hand, he asked me in surprise if I should draw his soul.

I used my hand to support my cheek and shook my head, saying, "No no, I studied painting in university, I have nothing to do anyways, I'll draw a picture for you."

Mu Feng immediately moved a chair and sat opposite me with his head held high and his chest puffed up. I laughed when I saw his expression.

"What are you doing sitting there so casually?"

With that, I quickly drew a rough outline on the paper with my pencil.

The room was quiet, save for the rustling of pencil strokes on paper.

I drew very seriously and Mu Feng was very cooperative. He sat there motionlessly and waited for the simple drawing of the portrait to be finished. I then showed it to Mu Feng and sat there for a long time.

Mu Feng frowned and asked me why I drew him so lightly.

I flipped backwards onto the bed and laughed out loud. "Because you're a ghost. Ghosts don't have a physical entity. Of course I have to make you transparent!"

"When you draw my soul, I will have a body."

I felt a chill in my ears. Unknowingly, I had already fallen into an ice-cold embrace.

The cool wind made me jump out of bed, and I had been disgusted with the feeling since that night.

When Mu Feng saw me bounce away, he asked me with concern if I was feeling unwell.

I turned away from his gaze, and the memory of that night when Bai Shangqin had taken over my body lingered in my mind.

Mu Feng walked towards me. The yin aura on his body made me subconsciously dodge. At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

I looked at the time and it should be 12 o'clock soon. It should be due to Taoist Su.

I rushed to the door of my room and opened it. Before I could say anything, Taoist Su grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me outside.

Before I could react, Taoist Su brought me to the living room with Mu Feng following behind.

There were no lights on in the house and no one was around. "It's in the backyard, follow me," Taoist Su said in a low voice.

I swallowed my saliva. I didn't know why Taoist Su was so nervous, so I followed him all the way out of the house and around to the back.

As soon as I walked over, I saw a beautiful woman standing in the moonlight beside a dry well.

Taoist Su shushed me, while he and I hid around the corner, vigilantly looking forward.

"Baby... "Sleep well …"

This voice belonged to Shujun.

She didn't sleep in the middle of the night, so what was she doing in the backyard? And I saw her swaying slightly, as if she was coaxing the child to sleep.

A bronze bell had appeared in his hand at some point in time.

I looked up and saw many red ropes floating in the air from the four corners of the backyard, extending all the way to the middle of the dried up well.

On those densely packed red ropes, there were still many little bells.

I immediately reacted. No wonder Taoist Su insisted that I come with him to the backyard tonight. He set up a formation in the backyard! It seemed that he must have discovered something during the day.

Daoist Su raised his left hand to his chest and chanted an incantation in a low voice. He waved the bell in his right hand and a loud and clear cry of a baby could be heard in front of him.

I could see now that Shu-jun was holding a baby in her arms. As the baby cried, Shujun tried to coax, "Baby! Baby, what's wrong with you! "

Shu Jun was extremely anxious as she focused on coaxing the child. Even when we had already walked to her side, she did not notice us.

By the way, Su-jun could not see the red strings and the copper bells, and it seemed that she could not hear the ringing of the bells either.

"Do you know that the baby you're holding in your arms is a vengeful infant from your previous self!?" He pointed his sword-fingers towards the infant in Shujun's arms.

Shujun was surprised to see us. She held the child in her arms and backed away frantically, shaking her head and shouting, "No! He is my child! "

Dao Lord Su moved closer and closer to Su-jun while shaking the bell in his hand. The small bell hanging on the red rope became more and more dense due to the influence of the bell in his hand.

The child also cried even more miserably, becoming more and more transparent. This was a sign that his soul was about to dissipate.

I looked carefully and quickly went up to stop Daoist Su. "Daoist, please stop!" This child is not a ghost baby! "
