This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 265 The Evil Ghost in Xu Xian's Room
The sun sets.

Night quietly descended, and the entire city was soon plunged into darkness.

On the streets, shops are closed and pedestrians are going home.

A curfew had already been imposed on both the outer and inner city two weeks ago.

At night, apart from the guards on patrol, no one else is allowed to wander the streets; otherwise, they will be treated as spies.

Under the cover of night, Luo Zijun quietly sneaked into the Xu family's residence.

Besides Xu Xian and his sister and their parents, there were only two or three maids in the house, and no guards or other people, so he entered with great ease.

They easily found their way to Xu Xian's residence in the backyard.

He hid in the flower bushes in the corner of the courtyard, two glints of green light shining in his pupils as he looked through the window into the house.

The soul's vision was exceptionally clear in the darkness.

The room was pitch black.

Xu Xian was lying in bed, tossing and turning, seemingly unable to sleep.

His hand reached inside his clothes, seemingly touching the raised patches on his body, his face filled with fear and despair.

Night gradually deepened.

Xu Xian's eyelids began to droop, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.

at the same time.

Suddenly, a black thread appeared above his head, with a wisp of white mist in the middle. It twisted and turned and rose slowly towards the roof. Soon it reached the roof beam and hovered there.

On the roof beam, a dark shadow had appeared silently without anyone noticing.

The dark figure crouched there furtively, head down, its scarlet eyes looking down, its mouth opening and closing as it inhaled the wisp of white vapor that drifted up.

But soon, the black mist thinned, then became transparent, and almost disappeared.

The dark figure suddenly moved, floated down from the roof beam, hovered over Xu Xian, almost touching him, and then opened its mouth, exhaling gusts of cold wind.

"call--"

"call--"

A gust of black, eerie wind entered Xu Xian's forehead.

Xu Xian trembled, his brows furrowed, his eyeballs began to move erratically up, down, left, and right, and a certain part of his body began to stiffen.

A strange, excited smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he began to move.

The dark shadow floating on him opened its mouth and began to inhale the streams of white gas that were actively floating out of his mouth.

Xu Xian's forehead was soon covered in beads of sweat, his excitement turned into terror, his body trembled violently, and a flush of color rushed to his face.

Then, the blood color faded, turning into paleness.

At that moment, an even larger plume of white vapor emerged from his mouth and was absorbed by the dark figure.

The shadowy figure seemed to be enjoying itself, closing its eyes, smacking its lips, and then opening its scarlet eyes again, beginning to blow eerie winds at Xu Xian.

Xu Xian's body trembled a few times, and his eyeballs under his eyelids suddenly began to move again. Then, his originally weak and limp body began to stiffen again.

Suddenly, an excited and eerie smile appeared on his pale face.

"hey-hey……"

He even let out a lewd and eerie laugh.

His body trembled, his face grew redder and redder, then turned pale.

The dark figure opened its mouth and continued to inhale the white vapor.

Just as the shadowy figure was enjoying itself with its eyes half-closed, it suddenly raised its head and looked out the window. Just as it was wondering what was going on, "bang!" a figure suddenly burst through the window, and a fist that had been gathering power, carrying a terrifying burst of blood and fire, smashed into it!
In the shadowy figure's vision, the figure was enveloped in a terrifying red flame, and its fist was burning fiercely, emitting a terrifying high temperature that instantly burned its soul!
The flames of a martial artist's blood and qi!

"boom!"

Before the shadowy figure could dodge, it was struck directly by the fist carrying terrifying flames of blood energy!
A sharp pain suddenly struck!

The shadowy figure was instantly torn to pieces, sizzling as it was burned by terrifying blood flames.

"what--"

It immediately let out a shrill and desperate scream, and one piece of its body flew towards the roof!

"boom!"

Luo Zijun threw another punch, shattering the remaining dark figures into pieces and reducing them to nothingness.

Then, he immediately left his body, his phantom image flashed, and he flew onto the roof, grabbing the small piece of ghost that was trying to escape.

Upon seeing this, the ghost let out a "whoosh" sound and was so frightened that its soul vanished and it disappeared into nothingness.

Luo Zijun was stunned for a moment, looking surprised.

They had originally planned to capture this wisp of soul and ask about the situation, but who knew that the other party would be scared to death.

This divine soul is quite powerful; if he had separated his divine soul from his body from the beginning, he might not have been able to defeat it.

So he used his strongest power, the Blood Flame that was most effective against Yin Spirits, and shattered his opponent into pieces with a single punch.

It's a bit of a pity that we didn't get any answers.

Huh?
He suddenly discovered that after the ghost died, it turned into a wisp of black mist, which entered his soul. Without any refinement, it directly transformed into an unfamiliar soul force and merged into his soul.

"Shh!"

He tried throwing a punch and found that the power of his soul seemed to have suddenly increased!

Could it be that if I kill a ghost, I will absorb its power and thus strengthen my own soul?
This discovery surprised and delighted him.

As he looked down to examine his own soul, Xu Xian's trembling voice suddenly came from below: "You...who are you?"

Luo Zijun looked down and found that her physical body was still standing motionless in the room.

Xu Xian had been awakened and was trembling with fear, wrapped in the blanket.
Luo Zijun's soul immediately floated down and entered her own body. Then she went over to light the oil lamp and walked to the bedside.

"Luo... Brother Luo!"

Xu Xian's eyes widened immediately, his face filled with surprise and delight.

Luo Zijun asked, "What dream did you just have?"

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then his face turned ashamed, and he stammered, "I...I..."

As he spoke, he reached into the blanket and wiped it, finding it sticky and damp.

Luo Zijun said, "Speak!"

Xu Xian dared not hesitate any longer, and said with a face full of shame, "I...I dreamed of a woman, with me...with me...and then that woman suddenly turned into a monster..."

Luo Zijun thought to herself: First, seduce him to make him lose heart, then frighten him to further weaken his soul's resistance, and then continue to seduce him... Repeat this process to continuously absorb his essence until his yang energy is completely drained and he dies.

That evil spirit is so vicious!
Those who are sick, physically weak, have heavy yin energy, or are weak women who do not know martial arts, or the elderly and children are all targets of these kinds of ghosts.

"Luo... Brother Luo, why are you back again?"

Xu Xian asked, his face pale.

Luo Zijun glanced at him and said, "You don't have an illness or venereal disease, you've just encountered a ghost. I came here secretly tonight and just killed the ghost for you. Starting tomorrow, as long as you take your medicine and nourish your body, you should be able to recover slowly."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian's face immediately lit up with excitement: "Brother Luo, I... I won't die?"

Luo Zijun said, "Not for now, but if you become lustful again and get deceived by women again, then who knows? I will only save you this once. If you fall into a woman's trap again, I will absolutely not come to save you again."

Xu Xian's face immediately filled with tears, and he cried, "Brother Luo, thank you... thank you... I will never do it again..." Luo Zijun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He didn't believe this guy at all.

I don't know if this guy has a special constitution or if he's just destined to be deceived by women. He's been deceived again and again and he just can't change his ways.

"Also, don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, especially your sister."

Luo Zijun added another sentence.

Xu Xian nodded hurriedly, wiped away his tears, and looked at him pleadingly, "Brother Luo, can you... can you take my sister in? Let her be your concubine, or even just a maid."

Luo Zijun frowned, somewhat angrily saying, "You're quite ungrateful. Do you know how worried your sister was when you fell ill? If she hadn't told me, if she hadn't begged me to find a doctor for you from the inner city, you would definitely be dead tonight. Although she often scolds you and looks down on you, she's the one who paid off all your debts. As a martial artist, she never had a single tael of silver on her when she went out of the city to hunt and earn money; she gave all her earnings to you. And you, you're so focused on marrying her off. If you're going to marry her off, fine, but instead of finding her a good family, you want her to become someone's concubine or maid? Have you lost your conscience?"

Xu Xian, after being berated by him, could only smile awkwardly and say, "Brother Luo, you've misunderstood. I just think Brother Luo is a good person, capable, and sentimental. Even if she becomes Brother Luo's concubine, it's better than marrying someone else. I believe Brother Luo will treat her well. Also, I... I want to be Brother Luo's brother-in-law. That way, I... I'll feel safe..."

Luo Zijun: "..."

"Brother Luo..."

"Shut up!"

Luo Zijun glared at him and said, "Don't mention this again. If you say another word, I'll smash your mouth!"

Xu Xian immediately shut up.

Just then, the gate outside the courtyard suddenly creaked open.

"call--"

Luo Zijun immediately blew out the oil lamp, and in a flash, hid in the corner behind the bed.

Just then, hurried footsteps could be heard outside.

Xu Ziyin's slender figure, holding a red-tasseled spear, suddenly appeared outside the window. When she saw the broken window, her expression changed, and she jumped directly into the room through the window.

"Xu Xian! Has someone been in the room?"

She immediately went to the bedside and asked.

Xu Xian opened his eyes, his face full of panic, and said, "Ah...no, nothing."

Xu Ziyin asked in a cold voice, "What's wrong with the window?"

Xu Xian looked out the window, his panic intensifying. He stammered, unable to answer, and finally managed to say, "I...I was sleeping just now, I don't know..."

"Wow—"

Xu Ziyin took out a tinderbox and went over to light the oil lamp on the table.

The dim, yellow light immediately illuminated the room.

Xu Ziyin gripped the red-tasseled spear in her hand, her eyes warily scanning the entire room.

However, after searching every corner of the room, she found no one and a look of suspicion appeared on her face.

Xu Xian was also stunned, looking at the corner where Luo Zijun had just been hiding.

There was no one there anymore.

"Where did Brother Luo go hiding?"

He was secretly puzzled, and his eyes searched the entire room discreetly.

Didn't you hear anything just now?

Xu Ziyin frowned and asked.

Xu Xian shook his head and said, "No..."

Xu Ziyin narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Could it be a thief?"

Xu Xian smiled wryly and said, "He was probably a thief. He came in but didn't find any silver, so he left quietly."

Xu Ziyin walked to the window and observed for a while, but still couldn't see anything amiss. Suddenly, she turned around, looked at the bed, and said, "Xu Xian, you look much better? What happened?"

Xu Xian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Perhaps...perhaps the medicine is working..."

Then, deliberately flattering him, he said, "Brother Luo and his master are amazing. I only drank once tonight, and I already feel much better."

Xu Ziyin stared at him for a while, then suddenly walked to the bedside and lifted the blanket off him.

Then she covered her nose, frowned, and said with a look of disdain, "Your pants are wet again? Even like this, you're still thinking about women?"

Xu Xian's face immediately turned bright red. He hurriedly pulled the blanket over himself, stammering with shame, "I...I..."

Xu Ziyin suddenly asked, "Does that Luo Zijun like you?"

"what?"

Xu Xian was startled and quickly said, "No...no..."

Xu Ziyin snorted coldly: "I think that guy cares about you quite a bit. Didn't you say before that he was always bothering you?"

Xu Xian knew that Brother Luo definitely hadn't left yet, so he quickly said, "No, I didn't say that. Brother Luo... he..."

"Alright, I was just asking. What's the big deal? Even if he slept with you, it's none of my business. I've heard that many men are bisexual. That guy looks like a gigolo, so he probably has that kind of taste too."

After saying this with a look of disdain, Xu Ziyin blew out the lamp and climbed out of the window.

Then he left.

The room fell silent.

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat up and searched around the room, calling out softly, "Brother Luo... Brother Luo..."

"Shh!"

A red shadow flashed outside the window, and Xu Ziyin, who had already left, suddenly reappeared like a ghost outside the window, looking into the room and saying, "Xu Xian, who are you calling?"

Xu Xian's face changed, and he hurriedly stammered, "No... I didn't..."

Xu Ziyin sneered, "You and that guy really are having an affair. In the middle of the night, you're still talking to yourself and calling out his name. How disgusting!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly, walked down the corridor, and left the courtyard.

"Squeak..."

The courtyard door is closed.

Xu Xian was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound.

Suddenly, a figure floated down from the roof beam above.

"Little Fairy, your sister is truly disgusting..."

at the same time.

After Xu Ziyin went out the door, she did not leave, but quietly hid behind a big tree in front of her.

But suddenly, her hair stood on end, and she turned around abruptly to look behind her.

"boom!"

The first thing that caught her eye was a thick rolling pin that smashed directly onto her head.

Her vision went black, and she fainted.

In the instant she fainted, she seemed to see a tall, white figure...
