The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 15: Nanshing Town (3)

Mr. Huang sighed helplessly, "Madam hasn't been feeling well lately. She took her medicine early and has already gone to bed."

"If not, she would definitely come to welcome the Immortal Master."

Yan Jue couldn't help but admire Qi Xianqing's social skills. Although the female protagonist was cold to others, she undoubtedly knew how to communicate well.

While the journey down the mountain was ostensibly about chivalry, disciples like Qi Xianqing were more about representing the Wulong Sect's image.

Not only did they leave the common people with a good impression of the approachable immortal masters of Wulong Mountain, but they also fostered good relationships with clients, making it much more convenient to exorcise demons and evil spirits in their residences.

Instead of rushing into the inner chamber, Qi Xianqing chatted with Mr. Huang in the main hall.

The Huang family was a prominent family in Nanxing Town, and Mr. Huang had deep feelings for his wife. He only had one main wife and had taken a concubine seven or eight years ago; he hadn't married again since.

His wife had been frail and had given birth to only one daughter over a decade ago, the now-mad lady of the house, and there were no other heirs.

Mr. Huang lamented, "Thanks to my wife managing the household, everything has been orderly. It's a pity we haven't had a son all these years; it's been a regret. That's why my wife recently took some medicine given by the Taoist to improve her health. We are trying hard to have another child."

"..."

After having dinner in the front hall, night quickly fell.

The group once again followed Qi Xianqing to the inner chamber.

Standing outside the door and looking in, they found the room completely dark.

Mr. Huang knocked on the door and called twice, frowning, "The young lady has gone to bed—"

Before he could finish, he suddenly went silent.

Inside the room, a woman's soft weeping could be heard, filled with deep sorrow, drifting through the air, mixed with a strange wind.

Mr. Huang quickly covered his ears, murmuring, "She's having an episode!!! She's having an episode again!!!"

The woman's eerie cries within the room came in fits and starts before shifting to laughter.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Then, there was the sound of a chair moving, creaking—

A slender shadow suddenly appeared on the window frame.

Qi Xianqing opened the door, quickly approached the inner chamber, and saw the lady of the house disheveled, standing on a chair, her expression dazed and dreamy, with a faint smile on her lips.

In her pale hand, she held a three-foot length of white silk.

She was going to hang herself!!!

Qi Xianqing rushed forward, supporting the girl under her arms and bringing her down, but the lady's expression suddenly turned terrifying; she started to kick and struggle violently, repeatedly shouting "Hulang! Hulang!" in chaos, knocking over a nearby chair.

Qi Xianqing pinned the lady to the bed and looked up at Duan Luxi.

"Don't be nervous; we won't harm you."

Duan Luxi stepped forward, administered medicine to the lady, knelt beside the bed, and frowned as she checked her pulse.

Yan Jue asked, "Is she possessed?"
