Lu Zhuo spoke, lowering his head. Li Fengxiang, standing beside him, felt so ashamed that her son would do such a thing that she wished she could disappear into the ground.
"You can even do something worse than a beast," Li Fengxiang cursed.
On the first night after the three of them finished, Zhang Chang died suddenly at home. His death was bizarre; he had eaten dirt and choked to death.
Wang Bo's death was no better. The next night, he gouged out his own internal organs with a knife, his intestines spilling out along with blood.
Yu Daochen shook his head helplessly. It seemed his guess was correct; they had been bewitched by the female ghost.
"Master, what do we do now? You must save my son," Li Fengxiang said anxiously, looking at Yu Daochen.
Yu Daochen sighed. If it were an ordinary female ghost, she would be easy to deal with, but since this one had agreed to give her life, it was a bit tricky.
However, no matter how difficult, he had to do it if he drank the "Qingren Tea."
Yu Daochen said, "My rule is that I only recommend people who can handle this matter. As for the price, you discuss it with the person who will handle it. I only charge a referral fee."
Li Fengxiang nodded repeatedly, "As long as you can save my son, any amount of money is fine."
Seeing Li Fengxiang agree, Yu Daochen looked at Zhou Fu beside him. "Go get a ginkgo leaf from the drawer."
Zhou Fu nodded, walked over, and took a ginkgo leaf from the drawer.
Yu Daochen took the ginkgo leaf, placed it in a teacup, and poured boiling hot water into it. "If you can drink this cup of tea, I'll take the job."
As he spoke, Yu Daochen pushed the tea towards Lu Zhuo's table.
Lu Zhuo looked at the dark purple tea and hesitated for a moment. He picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then drank it all in one gulp.
As the tea went down his throat, Lu Zhuo felt an immense sense of relaxation. For the past few days, he had felt as if something was pressing down on his shoulders, making it hard to breathe.
Seeing that Lu Zhuo could drink it, Yu Daochen agreed, "Alright, I'll take this job."
With that, Yu Daochen picked up the boiling hot water and poured another cup. Lu Zhuo drank it all in one gulp as well.
"One cup of Qingren Tea invites, two cups assist, three cups reside in their home, four cups forfeit their life."
Since he could drink two cups, he had to go along.
Yu Daochen nodded in agreement, "Come to the shop tomorrow noon. I'll have the people who can handle it ready."
Li Fengxiang's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled when Yu Daochen agreed.
"May I ask how much the master's referral fee is?" Li Fengxiang inquired about the price.
Yu Daochen held up a hand and began to count on his fingers. After a moment, he said, "Two thousand yuan."
Li Fengxiang took out her phone and prepared to scan the payment to Yu Daochen. Two thousand yuan wasn't too expensive for their family, and besides, this was the price to save her son's life, so no matter how expensive, she had to pay.
After Li Fengxiang paid, she hesitantly asked, "Master, my son has been vomiting everything he eats these past few days, and he's often dizzy. Is there any way for that?"
Yu Daochen glanced at Lu Zhuo beside Li Fengxiang.
After a fierce battle with the female ghost, who knew how much of his yang energy had been drained? Of course, he would be dizzy.
"Little money star, go get me a yellow talisman from the first drawer in the second row," Yu Daochen instructed Zhou Fu beside him.
Zhou Fu nodded, walked over, and took a yellow talisman from the drawer, handing it to Yu Daochen.
Yu Daochen took the yellow talisman and handed it to Li Fengxiang. "Lu Zhuo is entangled with ghost energy. Sticking this exorcism talisman on him will disperse the ghost energy in his body."
Li Fengxiang took the yellow talisman. Yu Daochen coughed lightly, "One hundred yuan for one."
Li Fengxiang was taken aback for a moment, then opened WeChat and scanned another hundred yuan.
After receiving the money, Yu Daochen instructed Li Fengxiang to prepare some necessary items.
Li Fengxiang agreed and then left the shop with Lu Zhuo.
After Li Fengxiang and her son left the Midnight Spirit Shop, Yu Daochen stretched and said, "I have work to do tomorrow."
To be honest, Yu Daochen admired Lu Zhuo. He had never seen someone sleep with a ghost before. However, Lu Zhuo's pale face and listless spirit were signs of excessive yang energy depletion. If he had another encounter with that female ghost, he would surely be drained dry.
"Sect Leader, you clearly gave Lu Zhuo an Yang-Boosting Talisman just now. Why did you say it was an Exorcism Talisman?" Zhou Fu asked, looking confused.
Yu Daochen sighed. Why was this kid still so clueless?
"An Yang-Boosting Talisman injects yang energy into the talisman paper for emergencies, just like the one given to Zhou Da Fa; both increase yang energy."
Yu Daochen nodded. "That's right, I did give him an Yang-Boosting Talisman. But if I had said in front of his mother that your son was so weak from sleeping with ghosts that his kidneys were failing, wouldn't Lu Zhuo want to find a hole to crawl into?"
Zhou Fu nodded in understanding. Yu Daochen was contemplating who would be suitable to call. Although he knew a lot of ghost hunters in the underworld, those guys charged exorbitant fees, and he didn't trust the ones who had just started.
As Yu Daochen was agonizing, he glanced at Zhou Fu beside him and suddenly had an idea, his mind sparked.
"Little money star, do you want to help the Sect Leader and the sect bear some of the burden?" Yu Daochen asked with a mysterious smile.
Zhou Fu looked at Yu Daochen's somewhat lewd, no, mysterious smile. Although he didn't understand, he still replied earnestly, "Yes, Sect Leader."
