Chapter 236 - Chapter 236 Chapter 236 The Smell of Blood is Too Strong

Chapter 236: Chapter 236 The Smell of Blood is Too Strong Chapter 236: Chapter 236 The Smell of Blood is Too Strong Madam Xie, who had fallen to the ground, found her cries bewildering. Scrambling up, she spat resentfully at her retreating figure, “Pah, you Seductress Fox, you come to my house to hit people and then claim we have ghosts. You’re the ghost.”

Auntie Sun fled the old residence in disarray and fell gravely ill after returning to the Mo family. Old Lady Mo believed she was truly pregnant and was extremely anxious, breaking precedent to call the village doctor to treat her.

The frightened Auntie Sun, in her hazed state, forgot her false pregnancy charade. When the doctor took her pulse, the deception was immediately revealed–she wasn’t pregnant at all. Old Lady Mo, upon learning this, was so furious she dismissed the doctor on the spot, refusing to let him treat Auntie Sun any further.

“How can you Mo family behave like this! Don’t ask me to treat anyone ever again. Even if you beg me, I won’t come,” the doctor said indignantly, packing his medicine box and leaving; the old matron’s mood had changed too suddenly. She had been all smiles when she had asked him over, but the instant she heard Auntie Sun wasn’t pregnant, she turned against him faster than one could flip a page.

With her hopes for a grandson dashed, Old Lady Mo was livid. She bellowed, “Then don’t come, what’s so great about that! Our village isn’t limited to you as the only doctor.”

After her tirade, she turned and yanked Auntie Sun, who was lying on the bed: “You stinking wretch, daring to deceive me, are you itching for a beating?”

Having been startled in the old residence, Auntie Sun was pale and forgot to resist, letting Old Lady Mo jerk her around before she finally crashed to the ground.

“You wretched woman, usually so clever with your sweet talk, why don’t you speak up now?”

“Mother-in-law, I saw a ghost in the old residence, that ghost was too terrifying, covered in blood from head to toe. It scared me to death.”

“Even now, you dare to deceive me? You look more like a ghost yourself.”

After returning from the mountain, Xuexue learned about this and felt a secret relief. Thankfully, she had forgotten to wear the bracelet that day; otherwise, Xiao Taohong wouldn’t have scared away Auntie Sun.

That night, Xuexue entered the space and praised Xiao Taohong profusely.

“Master, let me tell you, don’t think taking me in was a loss for you. You’ve gained, I’m telling you. I have plenty of uses,” the little ghost said with pride.

Xuexue was puzzled and turned to look at Xiao Taohong, asking, “Does that mean not only those with Yin-Yang Vision can see ghosts, but ordinary people too?”

“Of course, if I want ordinary people to see me, they can see me. If I don’t, no matter what they do, they can’t,” Xiao Taohong said.

“What about me? Did you intentionally let me see you?” Xuexue looked at her with a dangerous expression.

“Hehe…! Master, you are different. I can’t control you,” Xiao Taohong smiled ingratiatingly. Xuexue was an important master she couldn’t offend, as they were bound by a Blood Covenant, linked in life and death.

“And Big Bull?”

“He’s like you, I can’t control him either.”

“Oh!”

“Master, the higher my cultivation grows in the space, the more I realize the killing aura on Big Bull is increasing, his scent of blood is very strong. Shouldn’t you be wary of him?”

Stunned, Xuexue asked, “The scent of blood is too strong?”

“Right, my senses can’t be wrong.”

Thinking of Big Bull’s usual foolish but nurturing care for her, Xuexue laughed and said, “Given how he’s always so protective and obedient to me, do you think he would harm me?”

“Xiao Taohong didn’t mean it that way; it’s just a reminder for the master. This man is too dangerous. It’s safer to keep your distance from him,” Xiao Taohong advised.
