My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 109: Almost Possessed

Jiangcheng City Hospital.

On the bed in the VIP ward.

Zhou Ping followed the doctor out and then asked in a low voice, "Doctor Lin, how is she?"

The attending doctor, Dr. Lin, shook his head.

"Hard to say."

"Her physical status is all normal. I also checked her brain and found nothing unusual. When she was first brought in, she was in a coma due to exhaustion. Her condition has improved a lot now, but she still hasn't regained consciousness. Considering that she's a cultivator, I'm afraid this condition is related to her cultivation and is beyond the ability of doctors like us to examine."

After a pause, he said, "Of course, Mr. Zhou can rest assured, she should be fine."

"That's good."

"Thank you, Dr. Lin."

"polite."

Chatted for a few words.

Zhou Ping returned to the ward and looked at Jiang Xia, who had rosy cheeks and was dashing and capable. He walked over and covered him with the quilt again. After returning from the ruins of the ancient temple, the phoenix armor covering Jiang Xia's body had disappeared. However, it has been almost four days and he still has not woken up.

He had carefully checked it with his spiritual sense. Although it was a bit offensive, he had to make an emergency decision and did not find any problems with his spiritual sense.

His eyes moved to the ancient jade on Jiang Xia's chest, and he guessed that it was probably related to the ancient jade.

Sit on the edge of the bed.

His phone vibrated.

After connecting.

Director Wang’s voice rang out.

"Zhou Ping."

"The ruins on Qingcheng's side have ended. Apart from the corpse, there are no other items. Has Jiang Xia woken up?"

"Commander, she's still unconscious."

"Well, you take good care of her. We were able to suppress the corpse last time thanks to the Phoenix Fairy. If I'm not mistaken, the Phoenix Fairy should be related to the ancient jade. Many people saw it at the time. You must protect Jiang Xia. She is now related to the powerful people of ten thousand years ago. She is very important to the country."

Zhou Ping nodded, "Don't worry, Director, it's just the emergency response team..."

"I've already called Wu Tianming. He will be the captain temporarily."

Speaking of which.

Director Wang suddenly sighed. "Ever since the news of the ruins spread, major organizations around the world, including the most powerful ones, have infiltrated. Although they haven't found anything, the domestic situation is becoming increasingly chaotic."

"With the increasing number of cases involving monks appearing in various places, the base plan has had to be temporarily suspended. It's a turbulent time, so I can't spare any time for the time being. I'll have to trouble you with Jiang Xia's matter. Please be cautious and careful. There are many people watching her."

Zhou Ping's face was solemn, "I understand!"

End the call.

He walked to the window and looked at the tall buildings in the distance, his brows slightly wrinkled. During the days he accompanied Jiang Xia, the country was indeed becoming more and more chaotic. Although the number of practitioners had increased before, most of them were quasi-practitioners. But recently, quasi-practitioners like Qingcheng who had suddenly increased their cultivation had appeared all over the country.

The exact power behind these people has not yet been figured out, and there is not even a trace of it.

Originally, Zhou Ping felt that he had a pretty good understanding of the many forces in the country. They were nothing more than the two major academies, three major groups, hundreds of companies, special departments, evil organizations and other major forces. Among them, only the two major academies and the three major groups had solid foundation and strength.

But now he feels that the water in the country is very complicated.

The evil organization under the command of the Evil King Tang is probably just an openly hostile force.

There are even more powerful cultivation forces in secret.

It is precisely this kind of force that has the strength and foundation to allow those prospective practitioners to increase their spiritual energy rapidly in a very short period of time.

"Troubled times."

He couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

It's approaching noon.

Chen Xue and her best friend Tian Xiaoqin came to the hospital ward carrying a bag of fruit and a box of food.

"husband."

"Jiang Xia hasn't woken up yet?"

"No."

Zhou Ping glanced at Chen Xue, who looked as charming as spring and as ripe as a peach, and then looked at Tian Xiaoqin, who had a bit of baby fat and a petite figure. His spiritual sense swept across them, examining them and said, "You two have been lazy again, haven't you? Your spiritual energy hasn't increased much."

Chen Xue sat on Zhou Ping's lap like a spoiled child, her arms naturally wrapped around his neck. "Hubby, you're using your spiritual sense to spy on us again. It's okay if you're just spying on me, but you didn't even let my bestie go. Next time we come here, we should not wear clothes."

Zhou Ping's mouth twitched. Chen Xue was becoming more and more uninhibited in her words. She dared to say anything and was simply charming to the core, especially her eyebrows and eyes. They seemed to have fully grown, and her every frown and smile was full of charm and enchantment.

Snapped.

Slapped him on the butt.

Suddenly, the hips rolled.

"Stop talking nonsense and count for yourself. How many days have passed since you nurtured your spiritual roots? I even put a meditation room inside the villa. You two have such a unique training environment, but you haven't even crossed the threshold of Qi training!"

He had a stern face.

After returning to Jiangcheng City, he placed the meditation room in the basement of Taiyuan Villa. Chen Xue took Tian Xiaoqin with her, and he turned a blind eye. After all, his aunt and uncle were all practicing in there, so one more person wouldn't make any difference.

"husband."

"Xiaoqin and I don't have such excellent spiritual roots as you, so our cultivation speed is naturally slower. We should be able to make it after the New Year."

Chen Xue said coquettishly.

Zhou Ping rolled his eyes and then asked about the company's affairs.

After returning from Kyoto, he didn't ask much about the company's affairs. Chen Xue and Lawyer Yan had always been in charge. Even when signing the contract, they directly used the template contract. However, some national fortune points were added during this period, all of which were related to territory.

But for him now, the national fortune gained from the company's expansion of territory is far from keeping up with the needs of cultivation, and compared with the spirit stones obtained from space ships, the increase in the country's annual income and territory is a bit slow.

After all, the national destiny virtual frame has been upgraded.

1 Spirit Stone = 600 National Fortune Points.

Every year he could obtain 1000 spirit stones from the cargo hold of the spaceship, which was equivalent to 60 national fortune points.

So naturally they look down on the slow growth of territory.

Of course.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

After spending some time with Chen Xue, he reluctantly left with Tian Xiaoqin.

But it didn't take long.

Chen Xue sent him a message.

It's a video.

Open the video.

There was a scene of the collision and convergence of sweet sleeves and mangoes. Looking down, there was even a scene of butterflies flying through a stream.

"Hubby, I miss you so much."

Zhou Ping's face was filled with black lines, and he quickly deleted the message.

This girl is becoming more and more charming.

It is simply developing into a fox demon that brings disaster to the country and the people.

He hurriedly recited the phrase "If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be startled even if the sky falls" several times, and only then did he barely suppress his anger.

He secretly said that after dealing with the matter of Jiangxia, he would definitely go to Tianzhankou to remain calm.

……

Finished practicing in the evening.

Zhou Ping logged into the Cultivator's Home.

He briefly browsed the forum and then exited. There were a lot of people online in the Cultivator's House now, and all kinds of news were flying around, but very few of them were actually related to cultivation. This made him miss the time when he had just nurtured his spiritual roots, and he could get a lot of useful information from the Cultivator's House every day.

The next day.

After he finished his meditation, he washed up as usual, then soaked a towel, wrung it out, and prepared to wipe Jiang Xia. However, when he took a look, he immediately noticed that Jiang Xia was different.

With his current strength of 300,000 spiritual energies and over 10,000 mental energies, his vision is very amazing. As early as when his spiritual consciousness was born, Zhou Ping could clearly see the pores of ordinary people's skin, let alone now.

He just glanced at it briefly.

I found that compared with yesterday, Jiang Xia's skin was more smooth and delicate, and was transforming into something as crystal clear as mutton-fat jade.

This reminded him of the peerless Phoenix Immortal he saw in the ruins. When he was fighting, the sky was filled with red clouds and his whole body was covered with Phoenix armor, but the skin on his neck and face was as white as jade, without the slightest flaw.

"Could it be that Jiang Xia is in a coma and undergoing some kind of transformation?"

Zhou Ping stared at Jiang Xia intently. Although he was still dashing and capable, his aura had become increasingly ethereal and otherworldly. Upon closer inspection, he looked like a fairy who was not of this worldly nature.

"Is the ancient jade influencing her? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

His face was solemn.

There was worry in his eyes.

Who knows what extraordinary abilities the fairies of ancient times possessed? If one of them took over Jiang Xia's body, wouldn't the other party disappear completely?

Think of this.

He became more and more worried, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

All we can do is wait.

Two more days passed.

There are sounds of firecrackers outside, the Spring Festival is approaching.

Jiang Xia became more and more heroic like a fairy. Her short hair and skin, which had been restored to normal, were not stained by dust. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the ward automatically flowed into her body.

The ancient jade on his chest slowly merged with his flesh and blood.

At night.

The ancient jade seemed to emit a certain Taoist charm, and Zhou Ping could even hear the sound of the Tao ringing in his ears like a huge bell.

He didn't dare immerse himself in it.

Because I'm worried about Jiang Xia's safety.

Even though no one has come here these days, Zhou Ping knows that many forces outside are actually eyeing this hospital.

This night.

The hospital was eerily quiet.

The sound of firecrackers around and outside suddenly disappeared.

Zhou Ping could only hear his own heartbeat.

Thump, thump.

Calm and powerful.

But he was highly focused and released his spiritual consciousness. The spiritual consciousness gathered from over ten thousand spiritual energies could easily cover the entire hospital.

However, no abnormalities were found.

The patients in the hospital and the doctors on duty were no different from usual.

But the more so.

The more he knew, the more he knew that the visitor was extraordinary.

Bang.

at this time.

Jiang Xia, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly burst into a red glow, as if repelling something that wanted to invade.

Zhou Ping heard a banging sound beside his ear, and then his spiritual sense swept over a cloud of cold mist.

The spiritual consciousness just touched the fog.

It was as if he was being burned by fire and he instinctively shrank back.

That's it!!
It’s the ghost fire of the corpse!
"Jie Jie..."

The sinister laughter resounded throughout the ward.

Just came to my senses.

Zhou Ping felt that his body was out of control.

Soon a biting chill swept through my body.

cold.

He curled up.

His lips turned purple, his clothes were covered with a layer of white frost, and his whole body froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, even his mind was frozen.

"what."

"Not only is her body strong, but she has also opened all nine orifices. Her spiritual energy is ten times that of an ordinary cultivator. Tsk tsk, although it's not as good as that little girl's opportunity, it can still serve as my body..."

“Get out of here, get out of here!!”

Zhou Ping's will was reduced to an instinctive drive away.

"Humph."

"You little brat who's not even at the Soul Realm yet still wants to resist? Damn it!!"

The red glow suddenly spread to Zhou Ping.

The cold aura screamed and fled like a mouse seeing a cat.

soon.

The frozen Zhou Ping regained warmth, his heartbeat gradually revived, and the sound of firecrackers and footsteps in the hospital corridor slowly reached his ears.

call.

call.

He gasped for air.

There was horror in his eyes and a lingering fear of escaping death.

For a long time.

Zhou Ping finally calmed down.

He stared at Jiang Xia, whose face was ruddy and whose temperament was heroic, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. "What on earth was that thing? Was it really something that escaped from the corpse, or was it something else?"

No one could answer him.

Tread.

At this time.

Familiar footsteps outside brought him back to his senses.

"Xiaoping."

"Your uncle, Chen Xue and the others, and I made some dumplings for you. Come and eat with you."

My uncle, aunt, Tongtong, Chen Xue, Tian Xiaoqin and others walked in, and the originally deserted ward suddenly became lively.

Zhou Ping suppressed his fear and enjoyed the rare warmth with his family.

late at night.

My aunt and uncle left.

Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin stayed. As practitioners, they could calm down and relax their minds by sitting in meditation. Although Chen Xue became more and more charming, she was not yet so promiscuous as to stay in the hospital ward.

Listen to the long, steady breathing.

Zhou Ping frowned and thought. He felt that he could not let Jiang Xia stay in the hospital any longer. That cold thing was too scary. Who knew if it would attack again.

"With the opponent's strength, no matter where they are, they are like a deserted place. We can only rely on that ancient Phoenix Fairy to resist. Moreover, this time the opponent wants to take over my body and has discovered the secret of my body. Maybe the opponent doesn't like it, but I guess he will continue..."

"So I can't leave Jiang Xia for the time being!"

This made him feel troubled.

If Jiang Xia remained unconscious, he would never be able to leave. Fortunately, Jiang Xia was in a period of transformation and should wake up one day.

the next day.

Zhou Ping told Director Wang what happened last night.

Even the usually calm Director Wang was shocked. "What? Are you saying something came out of the bones in the ruins?"

"Correct."

"Probably."

Zhou Ping said in a deep voice, "That cold aura is definitely unmistakable. If Jiang Xia hadn't been by my side, I would have nearly died. And the other party must be a powerful being above the Yuan Shen realm!"

Director Wang took a long time to digest what he had said before he slowly said, "It was a close call. Fortunately, we had the ancient jade. Otherwise, this would have been a huge disaster. However, it's hard to say where the powerful person with the cold aura came from. So, since Jiang Xia has no problems after the examination, let's transfer her to Kyoto."

Zhou Ping shook his head. "Director, Kyoto is a vital location for the nation. If that powerful person were to come again, no one would be able to stop him."

"What's your opinion?"

"Spaceships, right now, only spaceships might be able to hold out!"
