After understanding the whole situation, Bai Jingyu gave the middle-aged woman a diagnosis of neurasthenia and prescribed some medicine. The woman quickly thanked her.
But Qin Luo was shocked. His sister could actually treat illnesses!!
When the middle-aged woman went into the bedroom to prepare dinner, she came out and told Qin Luo and Bai Jingyu to make themselves at home before heading to the kitchen.
Looking at his sister, Qin Luo asked, “Sister, did you also study medicine?”
Bai Jingyu replied, “Of course not. The medicine I gave her? She can take it casually. It won’t kill her.”
Qin Luo’s mouth twitched. So basically, as long as it doesn’t kill anyone.
“Sister, in that case, isn’t this mission a bit over our heads?”
He came here just to deal with the little ghost, but now it felt like there was a big fish behind this. A huge fish. A tiger shark.
“Yeah, I’ll tell Little Aunt about this when we get back.”
Bai Jingyu said thoughtfully. As she mentioned the beautiful woman, she couldn’t help but recall a major case that spanned several provinces. Many young and beautiful women had been brutally skinned, leaving only their bloody bodies. The key point was they were still breathing. The Four Symbols had used a lot of effort to save their lives.
Based on observations, this was a type of skin painting—the crudest method among them.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an evil technique that could peel off human skin, and then a vengeful ghost would wear it, using it to harm the world. But this technique had disappeared for a hundred years, only to reappear in recent years.
Once the ghost’s cultivation deepened, it could draw its own human skin.
Whether it was the Four Symbols or the Buddhist and Taoist sects, they all sent people after learning this news, but none found anything. The traces had been wiped clean.
And now, there was finally a clue.
“But for the little ghost mission, Xiao Luo, you can handle it.”
“How? Sister, I looked around but didn’t see any little ghost.”
Bai Jingyu took out a copper coin from her bag. Its color was ancient and worn, clearly an antique.
“Xiao Luo, take this copper coin. If it gets hot, it means there’s an evil presence nearby.”
Qin Luo took the copper coin. His first thought was: How much can this crappy thing sell for?
“Sister, is this thing reliable?”
If she gave him a copper coin sword, he might believe it.
“Sister won’t lie to Xiao Luo.”
Bai Jingyu pulled Qin Luo into her arms, not caring at all that they were in someone else’s home, holding her little brother and acting spoiled.
After confessing her true feelings, she found herself wanting to be with her brother all the time, never apart.
Qin Luo’s eyes widened instantly, and he quickly reminded her, “Sister, we’re in someone else’s home!”
“So what? She doesn’t know we’re siblings.”
Bai Jingyu said indifferently.
“I think, Sister, we should go home first…”
Qin Luo struggled like a fish out of water, but before he could finish…
Bai Jingyu looked at her little brother in her arms, parted her lips, and gently bit his ear.
“!”
Qin Luo instantly felt a tingling sensation that made his whole body convulse.
What the hell!
Was his sensitive spot his ear?
It was the first time his ear had suffered like this. Usually, it was his little uncle who would pinch or pull it.
Qin Luo completely went limp in his sister’s arms. To be honest, his sister’s waist was really soft. It felt like he was sinking into a huge softness.
Bai Jingyu felt her brother calm down and tightened her hold on the young man slightly.
Just as Qin Luo was sinking into the warm bliss, unable to extricate himself, he suddenly heard the sound of a door sliding open and instantly snapped back to reality.
“Oh no!”
The middle-aged woman’s mouth was slightly open, a look of surprise on her face. She had just been cutting fruit in the kitchen, and when she came out, she saw Doctor Bai holding her assistant, the affectionate posture almost completely engulfing the young man’s body.
“!!!”
Qin Luo quickly broke free from his sister’s embrace and coughed a few times.
“Doctor Bai, have some fruit.”
The middle-aged woman set down the fruit plate, her eyes flickering between the two people before her.
“Thank you, Auntie.”
Just as Qin Luo finished speaking, the middle-aged woman smiled at Bai Jingyu and said, “I didn’t expect Doctor Bai to already have a boyfriend. Unlike my daughter, she’s already twenty and still hasn’t found one.”
Bai Jingyu, who was usually cold in front of others, actually curled her red lips slightly upon hearing this.
“We just confirmed our relationship not long ago.”
“Boyfriend?”
The middle-aged woman paused.
Qin Luo quickly explained, “Auntie, this is…”
“Well, young people these days like to call each other ‘brother’ and ‘sister.’ My daughter sometimes calls people ‘brother’ too.”
The middle-aged woman laughed. “As long as they get married and have kids, and let us elders hold grandchildren soon, that’s enough to satisfy us.”
Qin Luo was so startled the fruit almost fell from his hand.
Kids?!
“Hee hee, little doctor, don’t be so flustered.”
The middle-aged woman smiled. “Auntie may be old, but my thinking isn’t old-fashioned. Whether they call each other brother or sister, as long as their feelings are good, that’s fine.”
“When are you and Doctor Bai planning to have children?”
Qin Luo was so shocked the fruit nearly slipped from his hand again. Was the progress moving this fast? It couldn’t be that fast, could it?
“Well, we’re not in a hurry right now.”
Bai Jingyu replied.
“Doctor Bai, although you are a doctor, I still have to remind you: after a woman turns twenty, the risk of childbirth increases significantly. The sooner, the better.”
The middle-aged woman advised earnestly.
Qin Luo was stunned. How did they even get to the topic of having children?! Weren’t they here to exorcise a ghost?!
Speaking of children, he subconsciously glanced at his sister’s lower abdomen. A slender waist, and very soft. If it got bigger…
Damn! What was he thinking!
If it got bigger, there was absolutely no way they could hide it from Little Aunt!
After that, the middle-aged woman started chatting with Bai Jingyu about everyday matters, and Qin Luo couldn’t get a word in, so he just ate fruit boredly on the side.
Just as he pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, the copper coin in his pocket suddenly became scorching hot—so hot that he could feel the heat even through his clothes.
It’s here!
Qin Luo instantly became alert.
Meanwhile, Bai Jingyu, who was chatting with the middle-aged woman, suddenly stiffened her gaze.
Something’s coming!
It wasn’t that little ghost. This intense ghostly aura was beyond even a fierce ghost’s match.
Could it be…
The bedroom from earlier!
Whoosh!
Qin Luo and Bai Jingyu stood up at the same time.
“Doctor Bai?”
The middle-aged woman looked confused.
Without answering, the two rushed straight into the bedroom.
Bam!
Pushing open the door, Qin Luo’s pupils dilated.
“Holy crap! What is that thing?!”
It was small in size, but at first glance, it struck fear into one’s heart. This wasn’t the female ghost he had seen crawling out of the toilet in the mall. This was a ghost completely wrapped in black aura.
Its upper body emerged, while its lower body turned into black smoke, connecting to the full-length mirror by the bed.
