Chapter 34: You’re really weak
The moment this dull and vacant young girl appeared, all movement in the room ceased.
Holding the Yin-Yang Mirror, she saw Liu Haoyu appear before her, seemingly a little confused.
The young girl tilted her head and asked in bewilderment.
“Why are you here?”
Seeing Qin Liu’s emotionless state, Liu Haoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Putting aside everything else, her silly and naive demeanor was something no ghost could imitate.
More importantly, his intuition told Liu Haoyu.
This was the real one.
But why had Qin Liu become like this?
Was she simply scared?
Or was it for some other reason?
Liu Haoyu fell into thought.
At this moment, the young girl raised the black Yin-Yang Mirror in her hand high, presenting it to Liu Haoyu.
“Here.”
“What is this?”
“I don’t know.”
The young girl shook her head.
“But it seems to be something very important. All the abnormalities here are caused by this mirror.”
Listening to her placid voice, Liu Haoyu took a deep breath and placed his hands on Qin Liu’s shoulders.
“Did you see a red-clothed fierce ghost? One that looks exactly like you.”
“No, I was chasing that old man, but he ran very fast and I couldn’t catch up.”
Qin Liu shook her head, her vacant eyes staring at Liu Haoyu as if a flower had bloomed on his face.
This intense gaze made Liu Haoyu a little uncomfortable.
“I can handle it myself…”
The young girl’s calm voice rang in Liu Haoyu’s ears.
“That old man is very dangerous, leave it to me…”
Before the young girl could finish, Liu Haoyu used his finger to press against her mouth.
“That won’t do, I’m not the kind of guy who’s willing to stand behind a woman and freeload.”
“But you’re really weak.”
“Pfft!”
The young girl’s completely unperturbed words made Liu Haoyu’s old face flush a little.
He gave a stiff smile.
“Your husband is still very strong, so you don’t need to maintain this posture. It’s not good for your health…”
“I’ve saved you many times too.”
“Pfft!”
Qin Liu, with her expressionless face, spoke the most heartbreaking words.
What else could she do? Humans have limits. Her strength was already among the top echelon of ghost exorcists.
If it were any other ghost exorcist, they would have died as soon as they encountered the Red Gate for the first time.
At least she could still hold on until now through sheer resilience. She had to admit, this emotionless Qin Liu was truly sharp-tongued…
Liu Haoyu knelt on the ground, pounding it, unwilling to accept it.
“It’s okay… just leave it to me.”
The young girl slightly crouched down, her cold hand placed on Liu Haoyu’s head, gently stroking his messy hair.
“I am a guide, dealing with fierce ghosts is my duty, and leading wandering souls is my mission…”
Although Qin Liu’s face showed no emotion, this simple gesture was filled with maternal radiance.
She murmured.
“After all these years, you are the only one who has accompanied me willingly, and I am very happy.”
“Don’t do such risky things anymore, okay…”
Before Qin Liu could finish her sentence, she saw the man kneeling on the ground grab her skirt and gently lift it up.
Liu Haoyu pondered, stroking his chin.
“Hmm… you’re wearing it properly.”
In this grim and strange room, this scene was somewhat odd, and even Qin Liu couldn’t help but silently question it.
“?”
She tilted her head, seemingly not understanding Liu Haoyu’s actions.
Looking at Qin Liu’s still vacant and emotionless expression, Liu Haoyu said in a voice only he could hear.
“No reaction…”
He had initially expected Qin Liu to revert to her normal self, as she usually did when he did something as disrespectful as this, due to excessive shyness.
However, now, the emotionless Qin Liu just stared at him silently with her empty eyes.
It was as if she was looking at an idiot.
“This isn’t a good place to do that.”
Qin Liu’s calm voice made Liu Haoyu a little bored as he stood up.
Judging by this situation, Qin Liu’s condition was becoming increasingly serious.
If this continued, would she remain like this forever?
Liu Haoyu had a headache.
“Let’s go back first.”
“…”
Qin Liu looked at Liu Haoyu silently. Although she didn’t speak, she seemed more inclined to chase the ghost-faced old man.
In fact, Qin Liu had already been relentlessly pursuing him, but upon seeing Liu Haoyu surrounded by ghosts, she had come to save him first.
However, for her, it was not too late to give chase now.
“The central part of the Yin-Yang Mirror is still in his hands.”
Although they had retrieved one part of the Yin-Yang Mirror, the central God-Imposing Mirror had been taken by Gu Qianyang, so they had to get it back as soon as possible.
Liu Haoyu looked at the young girl who remained silent, staring at him, and scratched his head.
“It’s not a problem when we get the item back. The important thing now is to get you back to your original self…”
He had to admit, Qin Liu’s current appearance was indeed very cute.
Cute?
It was bought with life.
Liu Haoyu sighed.
He didn’t want his lovely girlfriend to eventually become a fierce ghost seeking his life.
“I’m fine.”
“Alright, alright, do I not know what’s going on with you?”
Liu Haoyu took the young girl’s hand and said.
“Let’s go back and ask Hongmen for clarification.”
With that, regardless of what Qin Liu thought, Liu Haoyu took the young girl’s hand and left the place.
When he returned to Shirley Lai’s side, the pale white figure was still behind the young girl.
However, upon seeing Qin Liu, the already extremely pale figure became even paler, as if scared.
Its form contorted and trembled, its fear of Qin Liu evident.
“Mr. Zhenhua Lai,” Liu Haoyu took out the two Yin-Yang Mirrors in his hands and asked, “Do you know what this is?”
“…”
the pale white figure gave no response.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu sighed.
“Alright.”
After becoming a ghost, the soul and memory gradually eroded. Obviously, Zhenhua Lai had forgotten the function of this mirror.
He remained in this world solely due to his lingering concern for his daughter.
Apart from his own name, he probably didn’t know anything else.
Also, how should he return to the real world now?
This place was clearly in the underworld, but the ghost-faced old man had run away, and he was still here.
Just as Liu Haoyu was wondering, Qin Liu, floating behind him, gently poked his back with her finger.
Liu Haoyu turned to look, only to find the emotionless Qin Liu pointing at the two Yin-Yang Mirrors in his hands.
“This?”
In response to the young girl’s gesture, Liu Haoyu placed his hands on the mirror.
The space began to distort, and by the time he realized it, Liu Haoyu had already returned to the real world.
