Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Not Human_1

Ning Fan gathered his spiritual power at the tip of his finger and stretched it out, unhesitatingly pointing it towards the child’s forehead.

"What are you doing to my son?"

Yuan Haili, who was holding the child, suddenly bellowed in anger, trying to shield Ning Fan with her body.

But the child in her arms suddenly let out a piercing shriek, after which a black shadow violently surged out of the child’s forehead and lunged at Ning Fan!

Whoosh!

The black shadow moved quickly, reaching Ning Fan’s face in an instant.

But Ning Fan was faster, he caught the black shadow with a reflexive grab of his hand!

Hiss—

With azure spiritual energy on Ning Fan’s palm, he grabbed the shadow, causing it to emit a series of hissing sounds.

The shadow, now held by Ning Fan, frantically changed shapes, tumbling over, desperately trying to burrow into Ning Fan’s body!

"Ning Fan! Be careful!"

Xu Yourong’s face changed and she cried out, rushing quickly towards Ning Fan.

The other onlookers, however, were all frightened, retreating repeatedly from the sight.

Ning Fan chuckled coldly and fully activated the azure spiritual energy in his dantian, steadily directing it towards his palm.

Hiss-crackle—

As more and more azure spiritual energy accumulated in the palm of Ning Fan, the black shadow struggled even more violently, but it also seemed to melt and shrink like snow in the sun...

Clearly, the spiritual power in Ning Fan’s palm was the black shadow’s bane!

Hissing...

When the black shadow had shrunk to half its original size, it suddenly made a sound that seemed like a plea for mercy and stopped its desperate struggles, resignedly curling into a ball.

’Eh? You can beg for mercy?’

Ning Fan was surprised in his thoughts and after a brief consideration, he intuitively used his spiritual power to guide the black shadow onto the jade ring on his finger.

Realizing that this could save its life, the black shadow dared not resist any longer and with a swish, it burrowed into the jade ring on Ning Fan’s hand.

’The jade ring my mother left behind is truly miraculous.’

Ning Fan mused silently.

By now, he naturally understood that the legacy his mother had passed on was left within this jade ring.

But he had not anticipated that the jade ring could also serve as a vessel to contain the evil Qi.

"Ning Fan, are you alright?"

Xu Yourong quickly reached Ning Fan, worriedly grabbing his hand.

"I’m fine, Miss Xu. Aren’t you afraid of the evil Qi?" Ning Fan was somewhat touched.

The appearance of the evil Qi just moments ago was indeed terrifying for ordinary people, but Xu Yourong not only did not flee in fear but rushed up to him with such concern.

"I’m not afraid, because I know you can deal with it," Xu Yourong shook her head, stating confidently to Ning Fan.

"Uh..." Ning Fan was somewhat embarrassed.

In truth, he had not been completely certain just now.

The evil Qi just now should be called evil Qi in Fengshui techniques—a very vicious presence.

But Ning Fan didn’t actually know any Fengshui techniques; it was only through this trial that he discovered his own spiritual power could subdue this evil Qi.

"Ning Fan, you bastard! What have you done to my son?"

At that moment, Yuan Haili shouted at Ning Fan in anger.

The child in her arms no longer cried and just lay on her, motionless.

"Mr. Ning, my son, he won’t be harmed, will he?" Li Wanshan also asked nervously.

After looking at Li Wanshan, Ning Fan said calmly, "The evil Qi was deliberately unleashed by someone to possess this child. Now I’ve captured the Qi, and the child is merely asleep; he won’t be harmed. In fact, the reason you’ve been getting weaker and your life force has been draining away, last night nearly dying... It was all because the evil Qi was constantly absorbing your life force."

"What?"

Li Wanshan could no longer doubt Ning Fan and looked at the child in Yuan Haili’s arms with a complex expression.

Indeed, the child appeared peaceful and was breathing steadily—he clearly was just exhausted and asleep.

"What nonsense about evil Qi. Ning boy, stop spouting nonsense! You say my husband’s life force was drained by this evil Qi, but the Qi is also in my son. So why is my son perfectly healthy, full of energy every day? How can you explain that?"

Yuan Haili, as if catching Ning Fan’s slip, bellowed angrily.

"Yes, Mr. Ning... My son... He’s especially spirited every day, many times more than other children. While other kids need to sleep for more than ten hours, my child only needs to sleep for an hour or two to be active..."

Li Wanshan also cautiously added.

The rest of the crowd looked on with confusion.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ning Fan explained serenely, "That’s because the evil Qi absorbed your life force, Li Wanshan, and then moved into this child’s body. The child is unusually spirited because he is using the life force drawn from you!"

"What... what?"

Li Wanshan’s face went ashen, and he turned to Yuan Haili with a cold tone, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"I, I don’t know either..." Yuan Haili stammered, her face flushed with panic.

"Let me tell you something else."

Ning Fan looked coldly at Yuan Haili and said, "The evil Qi in the child could absorb Li Wanshan’s life force, making his vigor surpass that of ordinary children. However, once Li Wanshan is drained of life force and dies, the child will not be able to withstand the damage from the evil Qi and will soon die as well."

"What? That damned bastard! He doesn’t even spare his own biological son!"

Yuan Haili’s face changed abruptly as she cursed out loud.
