Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 498 - 463 The Odd Qingci_1

Lu Chuan paused for a moment and asked, "Why? Qingci, have you encountered some trouble?"

Han Qingci nervously said, "No... no, I recently... my period just started! Yes, that’s it, my period. It’s best you don’t come back, Brother Lu Chuan, Qingci can’t take care of you."

Lu Chuan’s face immediately fell into a look of annoyed helplessness and said, "What are you thinking about? Do you think I only come to you for that? Qingci, are you hiding something from me?"

Han Qingci stammered, "No, there’s nothing, Brother Lu Chuan, just stop asking, you just should not come back, that’s all, I have things to attend to, I’m hanging up now!"

The call was then disconnected.

Lu Chuan looked at his phone, lost in thought, feeling certain that Han Qingci was definitely hiding something from him. This girl was never good at lying; she got nervous before a lie was even told, and her anxious tone earlier had already betrayed her.

"Qingci is really silly. The more she behaves like this, the more curious I become about what has happened to her. And she specifically doesn’t want me to come back; could it be that the incident has something to do with me? Or is it that she doesn’t want to trouble me, so she doesn’t want me to return?"

After a brief contemplation, Lu Chuan decided to go back and take a look anyway. He couldn’t risk Han Qingci running into trouble she couldn’t handle and regretting it later when it was too late for regrets.

He went into an uninhabited alley and then soared into the air, flying toward the direction of Jiangbei Province’s capital.

Upon reaching the airspace above the capital of Jiangbei Province, Lu Chuan looked far towards the location of the Han Family Mansion and was shocked to discover an immense gloom that filled the sky, lingering persistently – a sight only a thousand-year vengeful ghost could bring about.

He immediately furrowed his brows, thinking to himself that the Han family was indeed in trouble, but he couldn’t understand why the Han family would provoke such a thing as a thousand-year vengeful ghost.

Could it be because of Qingci’s Innate Spirit Body? But the Innate Spirit Body has a strong restraining effect on demonic monsters; shouldn’t they be avoiding Qingci instead?

With a heart full of doubts, Lu Chuan landed outside the Han Family Mansion.

He released his Divine Sense to observe the situation inside the mansion and discovered that the Divine Sense was blocked from probing into the courtyard where Han Qingci resided. At this moment, Han Qingci was standing outside the courtyard, anxiously waiting.

Determined to find out what Han Qingci was facing, he didn’t enter through the main gate but scaled the wall stealthily, quietly arriving at Han Qingci’s location and concealing himself.

Han Qingci paced back and forth in front of the gate of her courtyard, looking very anxious, muttering non-stop, "Ling’er, you really mustn’t get into trouble. Brother Lu Chuan called earlier announcing his return, and I told him not to. I don’t know if he will listen. If he really comes back, how am I supposed to explain it to him? This is so troubling!"

Not long after, a servant walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Han Qingci hurried over and asked, "How did it go, can Master Chen drive away that female ghost?"

The servant smiled and said, "Miss, you can rest assured. Master Chen is the exorcist master we’ve specially invited from Xiangxi. His mana is very powerful. With him taking action, he can definitely drive away that female ghost from Miss Zhong’s body!"

"I hope so," said Han Qingci, still with a face full of unease, not because she didn’t believe in Master Chen, but because she had already sought more than a dozen so-called masters, and none had been able to cope with that female ghost.

She had just finished speaking when the courtyard door was suddenly blown open by a gust of cold wind, and then a figure in a yellow Taoist robe came flying out with a scream. It was none other than the exorcist master from Xiangxi.

He fell to the ground, his face filled with terror, and his pants were wet, clearly having been scared to the point of collapse.

Trembling, he bit his teeth and got up from the ground, continuously bowing to Han Qingci, saying, "It’s too terrifying, truly too terrifying, Miss Zhong, I can’t handle this female ghost, I am really powerless, I don’t want the reward, you should find someone else to deal with her!"

After speaking, he fled from the place, stumbling and wet with urine.

The servants stood dumbfounded, murmuring, "Is this female ghost really that terrifying? To the point where even the exorcist master from Xiangxi wet his pants from fear."

With a look of helplessness, Han Qingci sighed and said, "Enough, I’ll think of other methods later. Remember, this matter must not be told to anyone, especially Old Master Zhong, did you hear me?"

The servants quickly nodded, looked fearfully towards the direction of the courtyard door, and then scampered off shivering.

Han Qingci also glanced at the courtyard door, a gust of cold air appeared, and the door closed automatically, accompanied by a sharp, ear-piercing squeak that made one’s skin crawl.

She shook her head and turned to walk outside; since the courtyard was occupied by the female ghost, she naturally couldn’t continue living there.

Just then, Lu Chuan appeared before her, blocking her path and asking, "Qingci, what on earth is going on? Is Ling’er possessed by the female ghost?"

Han Qingci was startled, and upon lifting her head and seeing it was Lu Chuan, her fright increased. She quickly glanced towards the direction of the courtyard door, and then, with a look of tense urgency, grabbed Lu Chuan and hurried outside as if afraid of being discovered by the female ghost.

She even lowered her voice to the barest whisper, "Brother Lu Chuan, you’re going to scare me to death, didn’t I tell you not to come back? Quickly, follow me and leave this place. If that female ghost finds you, it’s all over!"

Lu Chuan frowned and looked at Han Qingci, wondering why she had such a strong reaction upon seeing him, but since the situation was unclear, he didn’t go against Han Qingci’s wishes and left the place with her quickly.

Han Qingci directly led Lu Chuan away from the Han Family Mansion, then hailed a taxi, and headed along a bustling commercial street. According to her, places with a lot of people and strong yang energy were where female ghosts dared not come easily. Afterward, she chose a café bursting with people and walked inside.

Lu Chuan followed Han Qingci in bewilderment, completely at a loss to understand what was happening to her.

The two sat down in a corner, and Han Qingci finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then looked at Lu Chuan somewhat reproachfully and said, "Brother Lu Chuan, didn’t I tell you not to come back? Why didn’t you listen?"

Lu Chuan gave her a look of annoyed helplessness and said, "You were acting so guilty, if I really obediently stayed away, that would have caused a problem, wouldn’t it? Besides, why didn’t you tell me you were in trouble? I could have helped you resolve the issue when I came back, couldn’t I?"

Han Qingci said, "This trouble is different, your return would only make things more complicated!"

Lu Chuan was even more puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that? Explain to me what is actually going on."

With a sigh, Han Qingci had no choice but to go over the whole story from the beginning.
