Chapter 1180: Chapter 352: The "Female Ghost" at Home
Chapter 352 [The "Female Ghost" at Home]
The next morning, Chen Yan arose only after finishing his meditation on the king-sized bed in the master bedroom of his villa.
Before Lu Sisi returned, he was the only one at home.
Well, to be accurate, he was the only "person".
There was also someone else, but that couldn’t be considered a person.
Chen Yan came out of the bedroom, keeping his gaze straight ahead, and went downstairs to the kitchen.
He deliberately avoided looking at the "female ghost" silently standing in the corner of the room.
The soul of this Saint truly resembled a female ghost, as her outline and appearance strikingly mirrored the cold demeanor of Lu Sisi.
However, as things had not reached the point of revelation, Chen Yan naturally pretended not to see her.
After simply fixing himself some breakfast, Chen Yan ate, washed the dishes, and proceeded with everything in an orderly manner, as calm as if living alone.
After finishing this, he picked up a sword and went to the yard, where he practiced sword skill beside the fruit trees he had planted.
Liang is a War General, familiar with battlefield ways. Chen Yan repeatedly practiced one sword technique for two hours without using Primordial Qi, which didn’t tire him, nor did he break a sweat.
Chen Yan knew that during his sword practice, the "female ghost" constantly stood silently at the villa window, watching him.
Until he executed the final move and sheathed the sword with a deep breath, he returned inside and took out some raw meat to feed Big White.
It was a pork leg. After Big White took one bite, it pitifully lifted its head and looked at Chen Yan expectantly.
It was accustomed to the food infused with Spiritual Qi from the Domain Realm, and this world’s pork leg felt flavorless to it, akin to chewing wax.
It could merely satiate hunger, but offered no benefit to its cultivation and growth.
Chen Yan could only pat Big White’s head for comfort, "Be good, the good stuff is scarce now, we have to save it."
There wasn’t much Fierce Beast Race’s Beast Meat left, even with prior substantial reserves, it’s been mostly consumed.
Moreover, the crossing function of his ring had been sealed by the old lady, so he didn’t know if he could ever go to the Domain Realm for replenishments.
As for Big White...
"Another day, perhaps. I’ll find a chance to visit the Inspection Bureau, have Ouyang give me some good tasks, hunt a few evil demons, and get you a few hundred pounds of demon meat to relish."
Chen Yan noticed a subtle change on the ancient, unchanged icy visage of the "female ghost" as he fed Big White. Even her stance paused slightly.
It seemed she retreated a small step.
This female ghost appeared to show a hint of...
Dread?
·
Though not understanding why or how, Chen Yan then directly carried Big White with him throughout the villa.
Sure enough, with Big White in his arms, the female ghost never approached Chen Yan. He also discovered that as long as he held Big White, the female ghost never appeared in the same room, seemingly unwilling to share a space with Big White.
This gave Chen Yan some doubts.
Could Big White... instill fear even in a Saint?
Though extraordinary, this White Beast’s combat capabilities were not impressive. It couldn’t withstand a Celestial Human Realm presence, let alone a Saint.
Still, remembering stories he heard at Snow Cliff Pass, a Saint once patrolling there was startled by Big White’s roar from beyond the icefield. That Saint showed an unusual regard for Big White.
Perhaps Big White truly possessed some mysterious prowess?
Chen Yan intentionally chuckled lightly and said loudly, "A formidable Great Power from above, actually fearing a white cat I keep?"
Naturally, the female ghost wouldn’t respond.
Chen Yan already understood that no matter his actions or words, the other party would not react at all.
She had always watched him, but never responded.
·
Regardless, Chen Yan decided that night he would let Big White stay in his bedroom while he slept.
Although pretending not to see the female ghost, Chen Yan wasn’t keen on having a ghost watching him while he slept.
Throughout half the day, the female ghost observed Chen Yan from the shadows, while Chen Yan secretly observed the ghost in return.
Besides her special attitude towards Big White, the female ghost showed no further abnormalities.
In the afternoon, Chen Yan received a call from Hu Shangke.
One must say, Hu Licking Dog’s efficiency is genuinely high.
Only yesterday did he entrust him with a task, and already by this morning, some leads surfaced.
When calling, Hu Shangke was standing by the roadside, waiting for a car.
He informed Chen Yan that he saw a message on the backend of a real estate platform that morning, stating a tycoon was selling a manor.
This manor was built by the tycoon at the foot of a scenic mountain as a Chinese-style villa, initially for personal use with influential connections.
Unfortunately, soon after the villa’s completion with the furniture just moved in, the tycoon’s company went bankrupt.
The specifics were beyond Hu Shangke’s understanding, but he did gather some details about the property.
