Chapter 622: Chapter 622 Wei Xishi: Stop crying, I’m not dead yet!

Before Wei Xishi fainted, he was still gripping the bronze coin sword in his hand.

The skeleton, floating in the classroom, slowly drifted towards him.

The chilling white bones approached, a stark white hand, distinct at each joint, slowly reached towards Wei Xishi.

When the skeletal hand touched Wei Xishi, a thin golden light emanated from the bronze coin sword he was holding.

The golden light flashed; the faint divine light repelled the sinister approaching skeleton.

"Ahhhh!!!!!"

The skeleton let out a piercing scream, disappearing instantly from where it was.

An hour later.

Liuliu waited left and right in the dormitory building, but Wei Xishi did not return.

Hugging the Peach Wood Sword tightly in his arms, he stepped out of his room headed towards the academic building.

The silent campus, under the dim street lights, seemed eerily menacing.

The closer he walked towards the academic building, the colder it got, seeping through his skin.

Liuliu’s mind was in a jumble. The fear he felt deep within him couldn’t hold back the terror that was surfacing.

In this silent night, he felt a nameless fear, as if many demons and puppet monsters were watching him from the dark.

Liuliu hastened his steps, repeatedly talking to himself to bolster his courage.

"Boss, it’s so dark and scary here."

"You haven’t paid my salary for this month yet; it totals to eight thousand eight hundred yuan."

"You better not get into any trouble; otherwise, I’ll be left high and dry....."

Liuliu kept muttering, bolstering his courage as he headed towards the academic building.

Just as he was preparing to go up the stairs, there was a slight rustling noise from not too far.

A shudder ran up the back of his spine, making his scalp tingle.

Closing his eyes tightly, Liuliu, with a trembling voice muttered: "Spare me, you demons and puppet monsters. I am too skinny, and not tasty at all. I bear no grudge against you, don’t increase your sins. Killing me would be pointless. My boss will come for revenge, he is very powerful..."

He was blathering, not even sure what he was saying.

Holding the Peach Wood Sword to his chest, with a tight grip.

"Meow"

Suddenly, a cat’s meow echoed from below Liuliu.

He flung his eyes open to see a squatting orange cat.

The other’s figure was very... fat.

Yes, very fat!

The fat cat was squatting on the ground, looking up, staring at Liuliu with its verdant eyes.

A hint of mockery reflected in its cat’s eyes, as if it was laughing at Liuliu’s cowardice.

It wasn’t a demon, Liuliu heaved a sigh of relief.

He swept the surroundings with suspicious eyes, not seeing anything terrifying.

As for the appearance of the fat orange cat, Liuliu didn’t bother too much, he just walked around to continue up the stairs.

Seeing Liuliu leaving, the orange cat got up and silently followed behind with light steps.

Despite its size, it walked soundlessly.

Liuliu was looking for Wei Xishi, floor by floor.

He wasn’t on the ground floor, nor on the second floor.

After searching for two floors, Liuliu was drenched in sweat.

Although he isn’t an insider in the Mysterious Studies World, having been with Wei Xishi for several years, he understood a bit.

As he stepped into the academic building, goosebumps crawled all over his skin and it hasn’t disappeared till now.

This place was ominously chilling, definitely haunted by puppets.

During previous assignments with Wei Xishi, he had encountered such situations many times.

Based on past experiences, Liuliu can’t fool himself and say the academic building is clean.

He was somewhat comforted knowing there was a cat following him.

Liuliu reached the third floor, where the temperature was noticeably colder than the lower floors.

The air here was filled with a suffocating odor.

Even though he was wearing a cotton jacket, the cold invaded his clothes and seeped into his bones.

Liuliu instinctively shivered.

He hugged the Peach Wood Sword in his arms and moved slowly forward, cautiously scanning his surroundings.

The night wind blew, slapping his cheeks and made him clear-headed yet his scalp numb.

Soon, Liuliu stopped in his tracks, his pupils dilated.

At a distance a few meters away from him, there was a shadow.

He couldn’t quite make out what it was.

But upon seeing this object clearly, Liuliu was taken aback.

His palms were emitting fine beads of sweat, his scalp going numb, eyes wide open, looking like he was ready to turn around and make a mad dash at any moment.

As he was hesitating whether or not to leave...

The fat orange cat stepped forward from behind.

It walked with a combination of elegance and ridiculousness, twisting its butt as it approached the dark figure.

This dark figure was none other than the unconscious Wei Xishi.

The fat orange cat strutted over, its fur touching the hand that wasn’t holding the copper coin sword in a comforting way.

The sensation of the soft fur woke up Wei Xishi’s consciousness.

His eyelids twitched and a soft grunt escaped his lips.

Recognizing the familiar voice, Liuliu acted before having the chance to think.

He hastily moved towards the dark figure.

This was the voice of his boss. There was no mistaking it.

Once he found his boss, Liuliu was able to let his guard down, dropping to his knees in front of the figure.

Liuliu shook Wei Xishi’s cold, handsome face anxiously, calling out to him.

"Boss, wake up,"

"You haven’t paid me my salary for this month yet, you can’t die now, if you die, I’ll be back on the streets."

"Boss, wake up..."

"Smack!"

As Liuliu was sobbing out his worries, a slap resounded on his head.

The sound was clear and blaring which stunned Liuliu and stopped his crying instantly.

Wei Xishi frowned, showing a bit of pain in his eyes, but spoke nonchalantly, "Why the hell are you crying, I’m not dead yet, and if I did die, I’d take you with me."

Liuliu’s mouth twitched: "..."

"Then maybe don’t, I don’t want the salary anymore."

He let go of Wei Xishi’s sleeve, stood up, and turned to leave.

He had not walked two steps when he turned back again.

Wei Xishis stared at him, a smirk playing on his lips and a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Liuliu, not wanting to give him another glance, crouched down and picked up the Peach Wood Sword that he had dropped on the ground due to his concerns.

Having retrieved his life-saving amulet, he turned and walked away.

His back, straightforward and decisive, was entirely heartless.

Wei Xishi’s mouth curved into a faint smile, pretending to be weak, "Liuliu, I don’t have any strength, could you come over and help me up?"

Liuliu, as if he didn’t hear, continued on the path he had originally taken.

Anyone who heard such a threatening proposition would not be in a good mood.

And Liuliu indeed, was not in a good mood.

Wei Xishi said, "I’ll give you a raise this month."

Upon hearing about a raise, Liuliu’s expression changed instantly; he turned around and ran towards Wei Xishi.

"Yes boss, I am going to help you up right away!"

With a wide grin on his face, he sprinted towards Wei Xishi, and eagerly helped him up.

Eager loyalty visible on his face, he asked, "Boss, seeing as I was so loyal and selfless in coming to find you, can we add a little more to my salary this month?"

Wei Xishi could actually stand up by himself, he was merely caught off guard by the overpowering evil Qi and had been assaulted unexpectedly.

Once his consciousness returned, there were no other issues with his body.

He had just wanted to tease Liuliu a bit.

While getting up, he inadvertently glanced across at a classroom.

With just one look, a cold, ruthless glint covered his eyes.

Only a malevolent Puppet Monster capable of reaping lives could carry such a strong aura of evil Qi.

Had he located the culprit of the Odi School incident?

The fact that the robust evil Qi coming from this Puppet Monster was enough to make him lose consciousness reveals just how powerful it was.

It’s true that he was a Taoist from Qingcheng Taoist Temple, but being a Taoist wasn’t his main job.

Ten years ago, he had a falling out with his family and chose to leave home.

Back then, he didn’t have a dime to his name, and by some twist of fate, he stumbled into the dilapidated Qingcheng Taoist Temple.

That one life-altering encounter set him on a completely new path.

He stepped into the world of Mysterious Studies.

When Wei Xishi first arrived at Qingcheng Taoist Temple, it was already in decline.

The once magnificent temple was barely kept alive by the ailing head of the temple.

Whether the head of the temple pulled a ruse on him or it was simply divine intention, he ended up accepting the old head as his master in a state of confusion.

The old master was on his deathbed. After accepting Wei Xishi as a disciple, he spent all his energy guiding him in the art of metaphysics.
