Who Made Him an Antagonist

246: Chapter 246 Jiang Ling: This is normal.Seeing Qin Ge look at her, Jiang Ling blushed slightly and argued forcefully, ”It’s not because I’m gluttonous!”

”I previously promised Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke’er that I would show them the world.”

”As the saying goes, one must keep their word!”

Mu Xinyi didn’t expose her and said, ”Then we’ll stay here tonight, shall we pick a room?”

She pointed to a guest room on the lower floor nearest the stairs and said, ”I choose this one! Keer can stay next door to me.”

This room was closest to the second floor. It allowed her to monitor Ning Ke’er, who was staying next door, and catch her if she tried to sneak up to the second floor, scaring her back. It also made it convenient for her to sneak off on her own to enjoy a solo meal when Ning Ke’er was hiding in her room feeling shy.

Jiang Ling shook her head, ”There aren’t that many rooms for you to choose from.”

She patted her towering chest, as if a treasure chest were hidden in the ravine, and took out a yellow talisman.

Whoosh—

As Jiang Ling threw the yellow talisman, flames shot up, igniting it.

The next moment, the villa living room, which had been reasonably laid out and only covered in a little dust, suddenly changed drastically.

The original sofa was already tattered and covered in dark, dried bloodstains.

The walls throughout the first floor were covered in bloody handprints. At the stairs, there were two dark bloodstains, as if someone had been dragged all the way from the ground floor to the second floor.

If the villa had only been eerie before, after Jiang Ling’s little stunt...

at this moment, the villa’s hideous terror was countless times scarier than any haunted house Ning Ke’er had ever visited.

After all, countless murders had occurred within this villa.

All committed by the Ghostly creatures hidden within.

”Although I don’t know the reason, within this villa, only those two rooms haven’t been eroded by the Ghostly creatures.”

”It is highly likely that those two rooms are where the original Ghostly creature died, so after it turned into a Ghostly creature, it never destroyed them.”

Jiang Ling pointed to the master bedroom and the adjacent guest bedroom on the second floor, looking slightly suspicious, ”Why would there be two rooms?”

Mu Xinyi urged, ”They could have been partitioned later! Let’s go, let’s go, hurry upstairs!”

Although the yellow talisman had burned out and the living room scene had returned to normal...

after seeing it once, Mu Xinyi still felt terrified.

If Qin Ge weren’t here, she would have turned around and left long ago!

She didn’t fully trust Jiang Ling yet.

But the fact that Qin Ge appeared here proved that he had absolute confidence!

”The two of you stay with me. If anything happens, I can still look after you.”

”If you go next door, I won’t be able to reach you in time.”

After going upstairs, Jiang Ling grabbed Mu Xinyi and Ning Ke’er, making an unquestionable decision.

”But isn’t Qin Ge very dangerous?”

Ning Ke’er, who had let go of Qin Ge’s hand, bit her moist lips, lifted her beautiful eyes, and asked softly with concern.

Jiang Ling shook her head, ”Ghostly creatures are just unkillable, not undefeatable!”

”With Qin Ge’s martial arts skills, ordinary Ghostly creatures couldn’t possibly do anything to him in the short term.”

”On the contrary, if you rashly appear by his side, you will be held hostage by the Ghostly creatures. In that case, Qin Ge doesn’t have the means to Seal the Ghostly creatures, and he would easily be dragged down by you.”

Mu Xinyi followed suit, nodding heavily, ”Keer, let’s not cause trouble. Jiang Ling is a professional in this regard!”

”We should just obediently stay with Jiang Ling. Don’t cause trouble for Qin Ge.”

...

Half an hour later,

Inside the villa’s guest bedroom, Ning Ke’er sat obediently on the edge of the bed, her gaze occasionally glancing at Jiang Ling beside her as she said, ”I want to go to the bathroom next door too.”

Yes!

After Mu Xinyi had tricked Ning Ke’er into staying in the same room as Jiang Ling, she had used having an upset stomach as an excuse to go to the bathroom next door.

The excuse was that the villa wasn’t safe, and since there was no bathroom in the guest bedroom, she had to reluctantly share a room with Qin Ge.

”Just endure it. Mu Xinyi hasn’t come back yet; she must have an upset stomach.”

Jiang Ling sighed helplessly.

She didn’t want to lie to Ning Ke’er, but Mu Xinyi had told her privately that she would treat her to a Western meal.

Furthermore, no matter how strong Qin Ge was, his strength was ultimately in martial arts.

Dealing with humans was fine, but dealing with Ghostly creatures?

There was zero chance of winning.

Whether it was for Ning Ke’er’s safety or for that big meal.

She wouldn’t agree to let Ning Ke’er take the risk, no matter what!

”Then are we just going to wait here the whole time?”

Ning Ke’er looked around cautiously, feeling fearful in her heart.

Jiang Ling took off her Daoist robe, covered herself with the quilt, tucked her little feet into the covers, and urged, ”Go to sleep. Under normal circumstances, these Ghostly creatures won’t rashly appear. When they harm people, the vast majority of the time, they will sneak into our dreams to terrify us.”

”Human fear is the most nutritious food for Ghostly creatures. They will start to strike when we are at our most fearful.”

Ning Ke’er subconsciously swallowed saliva and said, ”Then what if I fall asleep and get killed by a Ghostly creature?”

Jiang Ling rolled her eyes dramatically, ”I’m here!”

”I already told you, I am the only direct descendant of the Celestial Master Sect today!”

”Don’t look at the fact that I can’t beat Qin Ge. In reality, I mistook the target earlier and mistook Qin Ge for a Ghostly creature.”

”Even if I use my martial arts skills, I might not be Qin Ge’s opponent, but when it comes to dealing with Ghostly creatures, Qin Ge is definitely not as good as me!”

”Let alone killing you, those Ghostly creatures don’t even have the possibility of sneaking into your dreams!”

”Is that so?” Ning Ke’er, feeling uneasy, slept in her clothes and closed her eyes.

In the eerie villa, it was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Ning Ke’er felt a bit panicked and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Listening to the strange sounds, Ning Ke’er muttered softly, ”Jiang Ling, did you hear a thumping sound? It seems to be coming from next door.”

Jiang Ling, with her eyes closed, turned over and said sternly, ”That is the Ghostly creature guiding you to go out and investigate. Next door is Qin Ge’s room, how could it be thumping? If you encountered a Ghostly creature, the sounds of fighting would definitely not be this slight. Furthermore, Mu Xinyi is still there. If she discovered traces of a Ghostly creature, she would definitely be screaming.”

Ning Ke’er listened to the increasingly strange sounds in the quiet villa, ”I seem to hear a woman’s muffled groans, a very strange kind of sound.”

Jiang Ling turned over again, ”It’s a normal situation. The Ghostly creature might be slowly starting to generate Ghostly Qi. It doesn’t know whether a man or a woman is living in the room, so it’s deliberately using this method to attract lustful men to go out and investigate!”

Ning Ke’er bit her lip: ”The sound is getting louder and louder, it seems a bit uncontrollable.”

Jiang Ling turned over randomly, ”This is very normal. Since we won’t go out, the Ghostly creature is anxious.”

Ning Ke’er looked at Jiang Ling, who was tossing and turning beside her, ”Are you scared? Why do you keep tossing and turning!”

Jiang Ling faced Ning Ke’er sideways and pointed distressingly at her chest, ”It’s heavy here. I’ve always been picky about my bed since I was little. I only sleep soundly on my familiar little bed. Elsewhere, I always feel like I’m being pressed and can’t breathe!”
