Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Tease Her a Little_1
After a moment of fright, Yu Keqing looked at Qin Feng with a face full of gratitude and said, "Thank you! If it weren’t for you, my face would have been ruined. I couldn’t even show my face to anyone from now on."
"You’re welcome," Qin Feng said.
"Who’s being polite with you? Since you said the White Cream prescription was fine, where did the problem lie?"
Yu Keqing looked at Qin Feng with curiosity and asked, "Why is it that a prescription with no issues produces a product that has problems?"
"If the prescription has no issues, then the problem must be with the raw materials! The ingredients Huanmei Group used to make White Cream aren’t legitimate herbs."
"Do you mean the herbs can be illegitimate like you?" After cracking a joke with a smile, Yu Keqing asked, "If they’re not legitimate herbs, then what kind are they?"
"Ghost Medicine."
Qin Feng’s answer made Yu Keqing take a sharp breath.
Suddenly, she felt a slight chill on her back, as though something was behind her.
"Ghost Medicine?" Yu Keqing didn’t quite understand and wanted Qin Feng to elaborate, so she asked, "Do you mean those herbs are haunted?"
"It’s not about being haunted, it’s that those herbs were grown on the Chaotic Burial Mound, surrounded by an abundance of ghost energy from germination to harvest. Therefore, those herbs are naturally imbued with ghost energy.
It’s precisely because they carry ghost energy that the White Cream made from those herbs shows such significant effects.
However, those effects are all illusory. Ghosts are best at creating illusions. Once those illusions fade, the true form is revealed.
The spots that appeared on your face aren’t melasma but ghost spots, similar to mortuary spots.
Mortuary spots arise from corpse poison, whereas ghost spots come from ghost poison.
If I hadn’t helped you resolve the ghost poison, it wouldn’t be just your face that was ruined but also your spirit."
Your Seven Souls and Six Spirits would have been nibbled away by the ghost poison bit by bit.
If your spirit were to be consumed, you would become crazy, just like a lunatic," Qin Feng explained.
At this point, Qin Feng suddenly looked at Yu Keqing with a mischievous gleam in his eyes and asked, "Have you ever seen a ghost?"
"I have!" Yu Keqing replied with a grin.
"You’ve actually seen a ghost?" Qin Feng couldn’t quite believe it.
Yu Keqing covered her mouth and started giggling.
After laughing, she lightly hit Qin Feng and scolded, "Aren’t you just a dead ghost?"
Qin Feng: ...
"Want to see what a real ghost is like?" Qin Feng asked.
Since this dame dared to call him a dead ghost, he had to play a trick on her! Otherwise, wouldn’t the title of dead ghost be wasted?
"A real ghost?" Yu Keqing looked full of suspicion and asked, "What kind of real ghost?"
"If it’s a real ghost, naturally, it exists for real!"
"Are you saying there’s a ghost in my house?" Yu Keqing was frightened.
"You apply White Cream to your face every day, smearing Ghost Medicine and releasing scents that attract ghosts. Therefore, the lonely spirits and wandering ghosts nearby will surely be drawn to you and come into your house!
Otherwise, how could so many ghost spots have appeared on your face?
The ghost spots appearing on your face, half of them are due to the inherent ghost energy in the White Cream’s ingredients, and the other half comes from the lone souls and wandering ghosts hiding in your house," Qin Feng said.
With that said, Yu Keqing suddenly remembered.
Ever since she started using White Cream, she always felt a bit chilly when she slept at night.
Even when she cranked up the underfloor heating to the maximum, she still felt somewhat cold.
However, that kind of cold wasn’t unbearable, so she didn’t pay much attention to it.
Now that Qin Feng had said there were ghosts in her house, she was scared enough to turn pale.
"Can you... catch ghosts?" Yu Keqing asked.
"As for catching ghosts, I indeed know a bit about that. However, catching ghosts is very draining on one’s essence, so I usually don’t bother. If you want me to help catch ghosts, you need to pay a price. If the price isn’t right, I absolutely won’t do it."
"What price do you want?" Yu Keqing asked.
"We’ll discuss that later."
"You... jerk!"
Yu Keqing lightly hit Qin Feng again, saying irritably, "You can’t go three sentences without being inappropriate! If you’re capable, don’t just talk inappropriately!"
"What, you want my hands to be inappropriate too?"
Qin Feng, with a snide look, stretched out his hand, and Yu Keqing slapped it away.
"Quit messing around! Hurry up and help me catch the ghosts! If the ghosts in my house aren’t all caught, you’re not allowed to leave! Only once all the ghosts are caught can you leave!"
"Do you have any candles at home?" Qin Feng asked.
"Candles? What do you need candles for?" Yu Keqing was curious.
"Since we’re going to catch ghosts, we naturally need to draw them out first! If ghosts hide and don’t show up, how can we catch them?
The ones hiding in your house are just minor unformed spirits, mere trifles without much destructive power, and they’re as timid as mice.
Timid ghosts are the hardest to find. To draw them out, we’ll need to set up an array and let them walk into the trap themselves," Qin Feng explained.
