96|The Heart of a Disordered Person 2

Xie Ren said, “I ……”

Before the words left his mouth, he only felt a slight force from Hua Cheng, and a sharp pain swiftly crept up, he couldn’t help but flinch.

Although Hua Cheng’s movements had been extremely restrained, and this pain was nothing to him, for some reason, in front of Hua Cheng, he seemed a little unable to hide the pain. Perhaps it was because Hua Cheng had spoken to him first, making him want to deliberately hold it in, but he failed to do so. Sensing Xie Ren’s flinch, Hua Cheng immediately tightened his grip on his ankle and whispered, “It’s fine. It will be fine soon. Don’t be afraid.”

Xie Ren shook her head. Over there, Hua Cheng moved even more gently and quickly, and when he raised his hand again, he had already taken out a small needle, saying, “Alright, it’s alright.”

Xie Ren fixed her eyes on the needle, the tip of the needle flickered with malicious light, Hua Cheng five fingers slightly closed, then crushed it into a wisp of black gas, dissipated in the air. Seeing this, Xie Ren temporarily put aside all her worries and concentrated, “What a heavy resentment. A normal fetus spirit wouldn’t have such strong magical power.”

Hua Cheng stood up and said, “Yes. So, it must not be a normal flow of fetal spirits.”

At this moment, a masked man bent his head and came in, holding a clay pot in both hands and presented it to Hua Cheng. Xie Ren subconsciously observed whether this person was wearing a spell yoke on his wrist, but this time his sleeves were tightly tied. Hua Cheng received it, held the pot in one hand and glanced at it, then turned around and handed it to Xie Ren, who was sitting on the ink and jade floor. Xie Ren has not yet put up, will hear a muffled child cry from inside, also seems to have something in the inside of the crazy banging, hit the pottery jar slightly shaking, almost some can not stand, the wariness is even more.

And as he took the clay pot, he slightly lifted a corner of the pot’s seal and only glanced inside, a chill instantly leaping up his back.

Only to see that there was a mass of billet-like fetus inside, and although the arms and legs had grown out, they were limp and weak, while the head was hidden in the darkness. The whole thing looked like a misshapen mass of entrails.

This is what it really is!

Xie Ren immediately resealed the jar and said, “So it is.”

He had once heard that some people would look for pregnant women who were not yet full-term and cut out the child in their wombs, making it into a small ghost to perform some spells, driving it to harm others, protecting themselves, or calming down the house to protect their luck. So it seemed that this fetus spirit was the product of that kind of evil magic, and his mother, it was also very likely that she had once been a believer of Xie Ren, otherwise she wouldn’t have put Xie Ren’s amulet in the clothes of her unborn child.

After a moment of contemplation, Xie Ren said, “You captured this tire spirit, would Sanlang mind if I take it and investigate it? Because I’ve encountered it once before at Mount Wujun, and this is the second time it’s appeared in front of me, so I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or if there’s some connection.”

Hua Cheng said, “Just take it away if you want to. Even if I don’t show up, you can still catch it alone.”

Xie Ren laughed, “That said, it’s much easier for Sanlang to catch it than it is for me to catch it.”

He was just making a casual remark, but then he heard Hua Cheng say, ”Is that so? If I hadn’t been there at that time, what method were you going to use to catch it? Eat it into your stomach and then swallow the sword as well?”

“……”

It’s really for him.

Hua Cheng’s face did not look unhappy in any way, but Xie Ren inexplicably felt that he was a bit angry.

Intuition told him that if he answered this sentence incorrectly, Hua Cheng would be even more angry. Just when he didn’t know how to respond, he suddenly felt a slight contraction in his abdomen, and Xie Ren couldn’t help but say, “…… I’m a little hungry.”

“……”

Xie Ren, who reacted only after the words left her mouth, was too embarrassed to look at exactly what expression was on Hua Cheng’s face, and could only honestly explain, “This time it’s really hungry ……”

In the middle of the day, Hua Cheng finally let out a poof of laughter.

With this smile, it was as if the haze had lifted in front of Xie Ren, and she was instantly relieved. Hua Cheng, on the other hand, half-smiling, half-sighing, nodded his head and said, “Alright.”

Originally, Hua Cheng is to stay in the extreme pleasure place to set up a banquet, but Xie Ren heard the word “set up a banquet”, it will know that the inevitable big spread, and took the initiative to propose to go out to walk around, casually looking for something to eat, Hua Cheng should be.

It was very warm in the Extreme Bliss Workshop, and both of their ** clothes dried up soon after they went in. But Xie Ren that body of women’s clothing exceptionally eye-catching, he still borrowed a set of clothes from the flower city, changed into a clean white clothes. After that, the two of them went out, out of a long distance, actually can still hear the cry of the fetal spirit, a cry of “mother”, can be seen its tenacity. However, the ghost city was originally full of ghosts and wolves, this cry is annihilated, it is not rare at all.

The Ghost Market Street was still bustling with activity, with stalls selling specialty snacks on both sides. Although the ghosts were still the same, their attitudes were very different from the last time Xie Ren came to visit. As Hua Cheng and he walked side by side, the very fantastical looking bosses greeted them with smiles, competing to be the first to greet the two of them, almost haunching and nodding their heads, making Xie Ren somehow think of a word: “Fox Fake Tiger Wei”.

In addition to saluting Flower City, there were thousands and hundreds of eyes casting even more burning gazes at Xie Ren, seemingly scrutinizing and guessing what kind of person it was to be able to walk side by side with the Lord of the Ghost Market, which made him wonder again if he had made a wrong decision. Being in the rolling turbidity of demons and ghosts, before the attention of all, Hua Cheng was used to it and asked him, “What would you like to eat?”

Finally seeing a stall that wasn’t selling anything very strange, Xie Ren thought of a quick fix and said, “Let’s go with this one.”

Flower City, however, said, “Not this one.”

Xie Ren wondered, “Why?”

Hua Cheng did not say anything, signaling him to look inside the stall. When Xie Ren took a look, the stall owner saw them stopping by and was so excited that he rubbed his hands together as if he was waiting for them to come to visit, so nervous that he vigorously scrubbed the tables, chairs and benches. However, the thing it used to wipe the tables, chairs and benches was his tongue.

“……”

Although the pots and pans that were licked by the long and wide tongue were all covered with crystal water droplets, reflecting a lustrous shine like new, Xie Ren still decisively gave up on this store and hurriedly walked away. After walking a few steps, he saw a very clean and freshly decorated chicken soup restaurant, the sign in front of the door reads, “Home-raised local chicken, slow-fired old beautiful soup. Now made, now sold, guaranteed clean”, stopped and said: “Ah, there is chicken soup, why don’t you come and have a bowl?”

Flower City added, “This one won’t work either.”

Xie Ren realized and said, “Is there a problem with the plate or the chicken?”

Hua Cheng brought him into the store and pulled back a curtain, signaling Xie Ren to look. Xie Ren curiously poked his head in and looked, and was speechless. He saw a big pot at the back of the kitchen, a big fire under the pot, the pot was steaming hot, in the pot there was a man with a big red crown on his head who was happily bathing in the boiling water. Next to the cauldron were many buckets filled with salt, pepper, herbs and other seasonings. A guest in the front hall shouted, “Boss, be salty! The taste is bland!”

The hanyou then grabbed a large handful of seasoning and rubbed it into himself as he soaked, toweling off his back with a firm rub for more flavor. Finally, a long, loud, “Ooooooooooohhhh–!”

Xie Ren lowered the curtain and silently exited.

After walking around, the two of them finally found a store with a signboard that reads “authentic human food”. Although Xie Ren felt that this “authentic” was open to question, for example, as far as he knew, earthly chefs would not use the meat of large demonic beasts that were difficult to hunt to make kebabs, but relatively speaking, this was already the most normal.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the group of ghosts that had been following for a long time all gathered around, attentively contributing additional small dishes. The pig butcher, carrying a white human leg on his shoulder, slapped it with a snapping sound and said in a rough voice, “City Lord! Fresh thigh meat wanted! Just arrived!”

The group of ghosts cursed, “Go go go! Would the City Lord’s friend eat that? You think you’re a green ghost? Chop your thighs off and maybe you can still eat it!”

“Don’t gross people out with the smell of blood!”

That pig really raised a pig’s hoof and said, “If the city lord and the city lord’s friend can afford it, this leg is nothing, just chop it up! I tell you, my leg meat is definitely strong!”

Xie Ren couldn’t help but lower her head and drink the porridge. Hua Cheng did not pay any attention to them, and as soon as the group of ghosts were in a feverish mood, they all sent them towards Xie Ren, one after another:

“Local specialty snack brain marrow juice! Selected from the finest demon brains, all of which have been cultivated for more than fifty years! Smell the flavor!”

“This duck blood is very good ga, look at it ga, I just cut it from myself ga, try it ga.”

“The fruit in our house is authentic fresh fruit from the grave, we don’t pick it at all if it doesn’t grow on a dead person, and it’s fair game for children and adults ……”

A bunch of piles, sent to Xie Ren dazzled, constantly thank you. Not good to brush off this kind of surging enthusiasm, but some special snacks and really difficult to look at, hands and feet in the opposite side of the city of flowers with one hand resting on his cheeks, smiling at him, Xie Ren left and right, coughing, whispered: “…… Sanlang… …”

Only then did Flower City say, “Brother doesn’t need to pay attention to them. It’s just people going crazy.”

A ghost immediately said, “The city lord can never say that! We are not all crazy when we come, if the city lord is our grandfather, then what is the city lord’s brother, is our eldest uncle Gong ……”

“Yes of course I’m going to be mad when my great uncle comes!”

Xie Ren cried and laughed, thinking what all this nonsense mess, Hua Cheng also drank, “Less nonsense. Shut up!” The group of ghosts hurriedly said, “Yes! You are right, City Lord. Shut up. It’s not Grand Uncle Gong!”

Who knows, at this time, there are a few female ghosts who have been hemming and hawing finally couldn’t help themselves and said with a quick mouth, “Hey! Aren’t you …… the Taoist brother who told Lan Calamity that he was inactive last time?”

“……”

Xie Ren didn’t spray out a mouthful of porridge on the spot.

As if the group of ghosts had discovered some shocking secret, they exploded, “Ouch my mom! Really!”

“It’s him it’s him it’s him! Lan Calam has been telling people all over the place!”

Many of the more astute ghosts went to cover the mouths of those who yelled, however, Hua Cheng must have heard them. Xie Ren raised his eyes and saw Hua Cheng raising one eyebrow, looking at him with an uncertain gaze, seemingly pondering what the word “impotent” meant in relation to him. That was originally an excuse that Xie Ren had casually made up when he encountered a female ghost haunting him last time, and at that time, he was also ridiculed by a group of ghosts, but he was able to take it calmly. Now to poke to the flower city in front of him, he is unable to endure, embarrassed to hate a mouthful of porridge can not choke himself to pass out, said: “I ……”

Flower City seemed to be waiting very patiently for him to say more. But what could one say about this? Was it even possible to argue with a serious face that he wasn’t immobilized?

Xie Ren had to say, “…… I’m full.”

He was also indeed full, and after saying that, he got up and hurried out of the stall. Behind him, the group of ghosts held a pile of carefully prepared specialty snacks and howled, “Da, my lord! Are you still eating!”

Flower City chased after him as well, taking the time to look back and once again say, “Get out!”

The group of ghosts hurriedly rolled away again. Xie Ren walked in front for a while, seeing no ghosts following him, he slowed down his pace and waited for Hua Cheng. A short while later, Hua Cheng walked up with his hands in the air and said in a serious manner, “I didn’t even know that my brother had this kind of hidden disease.”

Xie Ren immediately said, “No!”

And helplessly, “…… Saburo.”

Hua Cheng nodded and said, “Good. Sanlang understands. Won’t say it again.”

He had a look that appeared to be very good and obedient, but it was so obviously fake that Xie Ren said, “You are really so insincere.”

Flower City laughed, “I swear, you won’t find a more sincere one than me in heaven or on earth.”

Hearing this familiar repartee, Xie Ren smiled back.

After a moment, he said seriously, “Sanlang, do you know where the Thousand Lanterns Guan is?”
