Beneath the hemline, those long, jade-like legs were completely exposed to the air, lustrous and pale white, such that one could almost see the faint outlines of the veins beneath the delicate skin.
When Qin Luo returned to the room after his shower, he found his Little Aunt had been waiting for a long time. Jiang Qing’e was dressed in white silk pajamas, reclining against the headboard. Her figure was slender yet curvaceous, and the thin fabric outlined the woman’s exquisite and alluring silhouette.
“Luo Luo, why are you standing there like an idiot? Come here.”
She patted the spot next to her and then shifted her delicate body to make room.
Qin Luo swallowed hard, his heart constantly reminding him: ‘Respect your elders! Respect your elders!’
Seeing the teenager’s nervous look, Jiang Qing’e smiled brightly. “Luo Luo, Little Aunt won’t eat you. There’s no need to be nervous.”
“Yeah, I know.”
As soon as Qin Luo sat down, her soft body pressed close to him, and a subtle fragrance filled his nose.
Qin Luo was at an age of vigorous vitality. Being pressed so close to a mature, curvaceous woman made his heart race. He whispered, “I understand.”
Jiang Qing’e stood up, changed her posture to a kneeling position, and those pale legs swayed before Qin Luo’s eyes. To say nothing of him, even his gaze couldn’t help but fall on those beautiful legs — long, straight, full, yet well-proportioned.
“Luo Luo, relax your body and concentrate your mind.”
Jiang Qing’e whispered in Qin Luo’s ear, her voice as smooth as velvet.
“Okay.”
Qin Luo closed his eyes. The next moment, a pair of soft, supple arms suddenly wrapped around his neck. Warm breath hit his neck, making it feel tingly and numb.
This sudden intimate contact made Qin Luo’s whole body stiffen.
Just as he was about to ask his Little Aunt what she was doing, a sudden sharp pain came from his neck. He felt his neck being pierced by fangs, and something was gently sucking.
If swallowing the black crescent moon before was bone-chillingly cold, then this time it was like his body was being consumed by fire. At the same time, it seemed as if something had been injected into his body, and his entire being began to boil.
Fortunately, his consciousness did not blur this time. A moment later, the arms around his neck released him, and Qin Luo collapsed directly onto the bed. On the back of his hand, the crescent moon seemed to have become a bit rounder.
A sharp light flashed in Jiang Qing’e’s eyes, and a crescent moon also appeared on the back of her hand. She showed a satisfied expression and whispered softly, “You’ve worked hard, Luo Luo.”
She pulled out a few tissues and gently wiped the sweat from the boy’s forehead.
“Luo Luo can establish connections with others to obtain some of their abilities.”
Jiang Qing’e placed Qin Luo’s head on her lap and wiped it carefully. As the burning sensation in his body gradually faded, Qin Luo felt as if something extra had appeared inside him.
“Cough, cough… Little Aunt, I feel like there’s something more inside my body.”
“Really?”
Qin Luo’s heart stirred, and he thought to himself: ‘Fire, come! Fire, come!’
However, there was no reaction at all.
“Little Aunt, you aren’t lying to me, are you?”
“Of course not.”
“Then what is it? Immortal cultivation?!”
Qin Luo was excited. If his body wasn’t still weak and powerless, he would have jumped up long ago.
“Don’t interrupt me,” Jiang Qing’e said, lightly tapping Qin Luo’s forehead with her finger as she pouted playfully.
“Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into Spirit, and using Qi to control Spirit. The more Qi sense you have, the more powerful your abilities will be, and the longer you can use them.”
After hearing his Little Aunt’s explanation, Qin Luo confirmed once again that his more than ten years of schooling had been for nothing. Could he apply for a tuition refund?
Jiang Qing’e looked down at the sleeping youth and smiled gently. She leaned down slightly and gave his forehead a light kiss with her red lips.
“Luo Luo, goodnight.”
The lights went out, but she did not leave the room. After tucking the boy into bed, she lay down next to him. Her fingers lightly stroked the boy’s cheek, her eyes sparkling.
Finally, she pulled the boy’s head into a gentle embrace, slowly closed her beautiful eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
—
The next day, when Qin Luo went to school, he heard news that was very bad for him.
A girl in the next class had committed suicide by slitting her wrists in the girl’s bathroom last night. Her name was Zhang Mingyu.
After an investigation, it was ruled a suicide. Her parents had already been called to claim the body. The campus forum exploded in an instant.
Qin Luo knew this was definitely not a suicide. His first reaction was that Ghost Baby.
“Sister, didn’t you say that the Ghost Baby wouldn’t be a threat for now and wouldn’t hurt anyone?”
Qin Luo said grumpily. Yesterday, his sister said it was fine and not a vengeful spirit, but it turned out to be one. Then, she told him the Ghost Baby was just starting to mutate and it wasn’t a big deal, yet someone died the very next day.
Today, Bai Jingyu still held her brother’s arm as they walked onto campus. The morning sun was warm, but Qin Luo shuddered all over.
Bai Jingyu frowned. “That shouldn’t be right. Logically, it takes at least seven days to become a vengeful spirit.”
With such an unreliable sister, Qin Luo realized he really couldn’t fully trust this woman.
As soon as he entered the classroom, he hurriedly walked toward a few classmates he knew to ask for information. However, as soon as these boys saw his sister, they became so nervous they couldn’t even speak, their faces turning red one by one.
He originally wanted to ask the girls — after all, the victim was a girl and died in the girl’s bathroom, so they should know more. But with his sister still here, he didn’t dare.
Someone suddenly committing suicide on campus even overshadowed the stir caused by his sister’s appearance yesterday, which made Qin Luo somewhat satisfied.
After asking around, no one seemed to know anything; they all said it was suicide.
Suicide?
Qin Luo didn’t quite believe it. The girl had ambiguous relationships with many men and even had an abortion. With such a complex psychological state, how could she easily commit suicide?
Once class started, he kept his head down, browsing the campus forum for clues.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby’s giggling appeared in Qin Luo’s ear.
Holy crap!!
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked around, but there was nothing unusual.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he looked down at his phone, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
A blood-red baby was standing at his feet, its round eyes staring up at him. There were no whites in its eyes — they were completely black.
That’s right, it had already grown facial features!
Oh my god!
Even Qin Luo was so scared that he jumped up and grabbed the mature woman next to him.
“Mm~ Luo, we’re still outside~ if you want to, let’s go home, okay~”
The graceful, mature woman said in a low voice, her face flushing red and her expression shy.
At that moment, everyone in the class turned their gazes toward Qin Luo.
Qin Luo: “…”
At this point, he didn’t know if he should say what was on his mind or not.
