The Return of The Lord God
After talking about the case for a while, Liao Sufan saw that Huang Hongyuan was still lingering with no intention of leaving. He frowned and reminded him,
âItâs getting late, Commissioner Huang. Letâs say goodbye.â
âOh, itâs late! Goodbye then, Governor Liao, you go back to rest early. â Huang Hongyuan said as he looked up at the moonlight outside and smiled heartlessly.
Liao Sufan was stunned, âWhat about you?â
âIâll be staying here tonight. Xian Zhi has already prepared a room for me.â
Liao Sufan: ââ¦â Why is this person like a pimple?
Rubbing the corner of his forehead, Liao Sufan said in a cold, condescending voice as he walked up to Huang Hongyuan, âDirector Huang, I suddenly remembered that I have a case to discuss with you. Letâs go back to the police station, Director Huang.â
Huang Hongyuanâs body trembled at Liao Sufanâs voice, and he stood up with a dry smile, âIn that case, I⦠will go back to the police station.â Strange, there are no other cases besides this serial murder case.
He twisted his head to look at Bai Lixin and scratched his head, âXian Zhi, I will be going back then.â
Bai Lixin almost got internal injuries from holding back his laughter, but his face looked calm as he smiled, âOkay, itâs dark outside, so you guys better be careful. Iâm afraid I inconvenienced you by calling you here, so I wonât keep you. â
Huang Hongyuan nodded, âThen Iâll come back another day to make you saozi noodles.â
Liao Sufan: ââ¦â¦â Commissioner Huang, where on earth did you learn to make so many noodle dishes?
After giving Huang Hongyuan a cold glance, Liao Sufan looked at Bai Lixin with a gentle and elegant look, âItâs getting late. Young Master Wen should also rest early.â
Bai Lixin: âOkay, goodbye.â
As he watched the two men leave, Bai Lixin lowered his head and began to exorcise the evil spirits from the jade stones.
These jade stones were to be carved into bracelets and accessories to be worn on the body in the future. This evil energy was so vicious that as long as there were living people, they would try possessing them. No matter who touched it, whether the carving master or wearer, they would be infected, and the consequences were unimaginable.
Today he did not get to see the Wang familyâs inner compound, but he could see the extremely black gas lingering on it from afar.
He set up a barrier for himself and Huang Hongyuan before he dared to step into the garden.
As soon as he entered the garden, he saw that among the people coming and going, almost everyone was haunted by black Qi, with a vague evil glint in their eyes, including the favoured son of this worldâFang Xuelin.
He pushed Fang Xuelin so much today that his eyes showed a vicious aura, so he will be making another make move against himâ¦
Once possessed by the black aura, it was difficult for humans to control their emotions, and they would be affected by negative emotions if they were not careful. And that jade spirit, oh no, the God of Food, apparently only knew how to gluttonously eat; it never eliminated the black Qi for him.
Perhaps it deliberately left the black Qi, as it could better control Fang Xuelin.
I just wonder what this Fang Xuelin will do. Has he already agreed to let the jade soul swallow the aura in the museum at its urging?
Although the Jade Soul had been replaced by the God of Food, it still had to obey the laws of this world. The main law being; that after the Jade Soul signed a contract with its host, Fang Xuelin, it could only suck aura with Fang Xuelinâs permission. Otherwise, as long as Fang Xuelin did not agree, the Jade Soul would have to starve.
So Fang Xuelin was not pitiful at all. He had a grudge against Wen Xuyao, but not so much that he needed to exterminate the entire Wen family. Not only did he bring the jade soul to the Wen family, but he also let it swallow all the aura and luck of the Wen family, which did not leave a way out for the Wen family to live.
The root cause of the Wen familyâs tragedy was simply Fang Xuelinâs jealousy and resentment.
Fang Xuelin, the black qi will only amplify the dark side within you. If you hadnât thought of hurting the Wen family, this wouldnât have happened.
So, whether you were encouraged to use the jade soul or not, your decision up to now represents your thoughts.
I know what you want most. You want dignity and status, and you want to use the money to mark your success in exchange for the respect of others. I want to make you a rat in the street, and everyone will mock you.
You dare to fall in love with my man, Feng Xuelin! I will not let you touch even a hair.
If you shamelessly interfere between me and Liao Sufan, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life.
Bai Lixin sneered and then suddenly slapped his thighs before abruptly standing up. Oh no, I forgot to change out Liao Sufanâs yin-yang eyes!
Although his lover had the Heavenly Yang Qi, he might be frightened by the countless spirits floating in front of him.
While Bai Lixin was slow to remember this, Liao Sufan and Huang Hongyuan had already walked a long-distance away.
Now and then, a ghost floated past, and from time to time, a cloud of black qi brushed past them, some with long tongues, others with pale faces.
Liao Sufan quietly swept his eyes over the group of ghosts around him. It turned out that there were so many ghosts who had died in vain wandering in this world.
âLord Liao, why do I feel that this day is extraordinarily cold?â Huang Hongyuan shivered and shrank his body.
Huang Hongyuan had come by carriage with Bai Lixin, so at that moment, Liao Sufan was riding his horse parallel to Huang Hongyuan.
At Huang Hongyuanâs words, Liao Sufan turned his head and saw a small dog-shaped spirit quietly lying on Huang Hongyuanâs head.
Sensing Liao Sufanâs gaze, the dog also turned its head to look at him with its pure white pupils.
Liao Sufan spoke up, âCommissioner Huang, did your family ever have a dog before?â
Huang Hongyuan shivered again before he said, âYes, I had a little Pekingese two years ago, but itâs already dead.â
âOh,â Liao Sufan looked at the little Pekingese on Huang Hongyuanâs head, âA little Pekingese, a male and a female?â
Huang Hongyuan scratched his head, âIt must have been a male, right?â
Liao Sufan glanced at the top of Huang Hongyuanâs head again, and saw the little Pekingese stand up, puckering its hind legs up, revealing the distinct features inside, as if it was swearing sovereignty.
âHave you ever done anything wrong to that little dog?â Liao Sufan asked with a light smile.
Probably remembering a sad memory, Huang Hongyuanâs tone was a bit low, âIâve wronged Peach in the past.â
âOh, so it was called Peach and you wronged it? How? â
âFor example, I almost castrated him when I saw he was a male dog and was afraid he would go out and rut around.â
The little Pekingese on top of his head suddenly stood up and bit Huang Hongyuanâs head a few times.
Huang Hongyuan got even colder, âLord Liao, why are you suddenly mentioning Peach? My lovely peach died so young. â
When Liao Sufano saw the little dog that had quieted down and floated to look at Huang Hongyuan fondly, he smiled, âMaybe it misses you too.â
Pets were so affectionate that even after they died, they would want to be reincarnated by their mastersâ side.
Liao Sufan had accepted this world with astonishing speed ever since he had learned about it through Bai Lixin. He had even inherited Bai Lixinâs will. In his view, ghosts were not brutal, they were human beings before, and naturally still carried the seven emotions and six desires of human beings with them.
As the two walked in the dark, they reached the museum.
To Liao Sufanâs surprise, all the wandering spirits that were still floating in the air disappeared when they arrived at the museum, and the little Pekingese that had been guarding Huang Hongyuanâs side also disappeared. Before it did, the little dog surrounded Liao Sufan and barked a few times at the museum, as if to warn him of something.
Although he did not understand what Little Pekingese meant, he knew that there must be something in this museum that made these wandering spirits afraid of its existence.
With the yin-yang eyes, he saw a faint layer of golden aura attached to the outside of the museum, which might be the aura on the antiques that Bai Lixin had mentioned.
The lights in the museum still glowed dimly, and knowing that Feng Xielin was in there, Liao Sufan felt irritated for no reason, and his steps intensified a bit. He didnât want to deal with that person
However, as they went past the museum, he suddenly realised that the golden aura in the museum was flickering and had begun to fade away at a rate visible to the naked eye!
The aura was disappearing!
Wasnât this very similar to what Wen Xuyao complained about the other day?!
Liao Sufanâs heart tightened, so he went off on his horse and pulled Huang Hongyuan with him, kicking the door of the museum and rushing straight in.
At that moment, Fang Xuelin was holding the jade stone in his hands and absorbing the aura of the museum.
Fang Xuelin was so startled by the door suddenly being kicked in that he almost threw the jade stone to the ground.
âWho! Who is it?â Fang Xuelin trembled and tried to hide the jade stone, but how could the God of Food, who had already whetted his appetite, stop so easily.
Liao Sufan stepped forward to grab Fang Xuelinâs hand, shouting angrily, âWhat are you doing?!â
His hand touched the jade stone in Fang Xuelinâs hand, and his Heavenly Yang Qi struck the stone. Fang Xuelin heard the jade soul scream in agony, and the light on the stone dimmed.
Liao Sufan looked around at the golden light, and as the light from Fang Xuelinâs jade stone dimmed, the rate at which the golden light in this museum disappeared also stopped.
Sure enough, the disappearance of the aura of the antiques was related to this stone in Fang Xuelinâs hand.
With a cold laugh, he shook off Fang Xuelinâs wrist and said, âWhat was that glowing thing in your hand just now?â
Fang Xuelin had never seen such a furious Liao Sufan before, so he shivered in fear and said tremulously, âThis is an antique I found in the antique market, it glows at night.â
Fang Xuelin shrank back and tried to put the jade stone away in his arms.
âLet me ask, if I came one step later, would the antiques in this museum have turned into a pile of powder and dust in a few days?â
Fang Xuelinâs face turned white, and he took several steps back: âHow, how is it possible â¦â¦â
