Chapter 299: Chapter 299: The Voice that Claims Lives_1
Yu Keqing showed a face full of curiosity and asked, "How do you want to use them?"
"Take them, and let’s go to the courtyard."
"Why should I carry them? Am I your errand girl?"
"Yes! You’re my errand girl right now."
"Hmph!"
Yu Keqing huffed, her pretty face full of dissatisfaction, but in the end, she obediently picked up the stack of paper figures.
When they reached the courtyard, Qin Feng drew a bagua pattern on the ground with a stick and said to Yu Keqing, "According to the color of the paper figures’ eyes, place the red ones on the Yin side and the black ones on the Yang side, one figure per spot."
"What do you mean? Are you treating me like a maid? One moment you’re ordering me to do this, the next to do that."
"If you’re not happy with it, then forget it. Anyway, those little demons are in your house. If you don’t capture them all, be careful they might perch on your bedside and pull faces at you when you fall asleep, guaranteed to scare you into screaming."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Threatening?" Qin Feng shook his head and said, "No, this is just a friendly reminder."
"Hmph!"
Yu Keqing huffed and then began to place the paper figures on the ground as Qin Feng had instructed.
While she was doing it, she said irritably, "Today I need something from you, so I let you boss me around. When you fall into my hands next time, we’ll see how I deal with you."
"Falling into your hands? That’s impossible."
Yu Keqing finished setting up the paper figures, and Qin Feng stepped into the center of the bagua formation, starting a strange and somewhat enchanting dance.
As he danced, he also started chanting some odd incantations. Yu Keqing pricked up her ears and listened for a while, but she didn’t understand a single word.
At this moment, Qin Feng’s movements were more enchanting than a snake spirit woman’s. Yu Keqing quickly took out her phone and began recording the scene.
Whoosh whoosh...
The previously calm courtyard suddenly stirred up a breeze.
The paper figures lying on the ground actually all stood up and started dancing along with Qin Feng’s rhythm.
However, these paper figures were not as flexible as Qin Feng; their twisting postures looked quite strange.
Seeing Yu Keqing aim her camera at the paper figures, Qin Feng hurriedly cautioned her, "Don’t shoot recklessly!"
"I’m going to film, and you can’t stop me."
No sooner had Yu Keqing spoken than a terrifying ghost face suddenly appeared on her phone screen, scaring her into screaming.
The phone naturally fell with a clack to the ground, shattering the screen...
"It’s all your fault; compensate me for my phone!" Yu Keqing unreasonably demanded.
"I told you not to film recklessly, but you wouldn’t listen. Now your phone is broken, isn’t it?" Qin Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Serves you right!"
Just then, the sound of a walking stick tapping the ground came from outside.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
This sound felt somewhat eerie, evoking an extreme sense of horror.
Yu Keqing quickly grabbed Qin Feng’s arm, a frightened look on her face, and asked, "What’s that sound?"
"The sound of claiming lives," Qin Feng said.
"Claiming lives? Whose lives?" Yu Keqing asked.
"Yours, of course."
"Why mine and not yours?"
"Because this is your house, not mine. Besides, you have the Charm Physique, and I do not."
"Charm Physique? What does that mean?"
"Take it literally. It means your body is particularly attractive to men. To be more precise, whether it’s humans, ghosts, demons, or monsters, as long as they are male, they will all drool over your Charm Physique."
"And you?"
"Uh... I’m also male, of course."
"Are you drooling over my body too?"
"Of course."
"Then why haven’t you taken any opportunity I gave you? Are you impotent?"
Yu Keqing was deliberately teasing Qin Feng, trying to provoke him. Because she had already sensed the presence of death, the footsteps of death approaching her step by step.
Only Qin Feng could save her.
Therefore, she wanted to bind herself even more tightly to Qin Feng. Preferably, to have Qin Feng take her as his wife on the spot.
"What use are the opportunities you give? My wife doesn’t give me any. If I took the chance with you, as soon as I got home, I’d be snipped by my wife. So, although your Charm Physique makes me drool, I can only admire it from afar."
At that moment, there was a noise at the courtyard door.
Click... Clack!
The locked door, which had been shut, suddenly unlocked itself.
The mahogany door creaked open, as if someone were pushing it. But even when the door was ajar by a third, not a single figure was to be seen.
Qin Feng looked closely and saw some inconspicuous footprints on the ground outside the gate.
Immediately, he realized what was happening, turned to Yu Keqing, and said, "The Undead have arrived!"
"The Undead? What are the Undead?"
"When people die, their souls leave the body. Normally, they should go to the underworld, but when they don’t, they can turn into ghosts. As for The Undead, they are captures by Wizards who use their witchcraft to refine them. They are turned into pets, or even hounds."
"Are The Undead more formidable than ghosts?"
"In Dragon Country, sorcerers keep minor ghosts; in Sakura Country, Wizards keep The Undead. As to who is more powerful, that’s uncertain. The most important thing is the ability of their master."
