When Ling Yue arrived at Wang Linlin's ward, panting, this was the scene she found.

The patient in the other bed in Wang Linlin's ward was an elderly man who had recently retired. At that moment, he, Wang Linlin, Ningxia, and Chuxin were playing cards at his dining table...

Jing Yucheng, on the other hand, was intently "observing the battle," and when the battlefield reached him, he nimbly dodged to the side...

Lu Boqing sat by Wang Linlin's hospital bed, picked up some sunflower seeds from the table next to him, and ate them while watching the game.

Here comes the important part: the real battle is between the well-dressed handsome man and the starving ghost.

Judging from the fight scenes, this seemingly delicate and handsome man is anything but delicate.

He looks like he's trained in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). Every punch and kick lands with deadly accuracy and immense force. One kick to the demon's stomach dented its enormous belly, and his punches were incredibly fast, piercing the starving ghost's head with a single blow...

Ling Yue watched this violent spectacle with great satisfaction, but she was also a little worried. What if the starving ghost's stomach was pierced and the contents burst out? Would the ward be ruined?

"You devil, you're really tough. I'm a bit tired, let's call it a day."

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a symbol in the air, pointed, and the starving ghost instantly turned into a ball of black energy and entered his palm...

Why resort to such a violent aesthetic when you could have simply taken them in so easily?

Wang Linlin, Ningxia, and another patient in the ward couldn't see what was really happening in the room, and Ling Yue didn't ask too many questions.

At this moment, the old man called out to Ling Yue: "Young lady, come here, come here, you play the cards for me first, I need to go to the toilet quickly."

Ling Yue then realized what was happening and quickly ran to his side, helping the old man up. She took the cards from his hand and asked with some concern, "Grandpa, are you sure you can manage by yourself? Why don't you let my friend go with you?"

Then, she frantically tried to wink at Jing Yucheng, but she found that even though Jing Yucheng was making eye contact with her, he just couldn't get the signals she was sending!

To everyone's surprise, the old man refused, saying, "No need, no need. I'm perfectly healthy and don't need anyone to accompany me."

As she spoke, she even jogged out of the ward...

Ling Yue, who was given the task at the last minute, sat down and continued playing cards, asking with some curiosity, "What illness is this old man suffering from that he's hospitalized for?"

"The plaster on the headboard says it's a duodenal ulcer. A pair of twos!" It's rare to see Ningxia so excited. He played the pair of twos, and nobody wanted it; he immediately played a big straight and finished off all his cards...

From the moment Ling Yue received the cards to the moment she put them down, only a minute had passed; she hadn't even finished looking at the cards in her hand...

The card game ended, the ghost-hunting ended, and she had absolutely no involvement. Sigh.

Wang Linlin felt perfectly fine, and since the starving ghost had already been taken away, she insisted on being discharged from the hospital.

She also failed one of her subjects and was about to have to retake the exam, so she decided to temporarily go back to her school dormitory until she finished her graduation project before continuing her live-streaming work.

After sending Wang Linlin and Ningxia home, Ling Yue finally spoke the words that had been on her mind for so long.

"Lu Boqing, you haven't introduced this handsome and elegant man yet."

Before Lu Boqing could introduce them, the handsome man himself stepped forward and said, "I really like your description. It seems you have a bad memory. My little ten has taken you to our house before."

Ling Yue's mind raced for a long time. Xiao Shi? Could he be one of Lu Boqing's older brothers?

To be honest, apart from Lu Boqing's parents, his siblings filled both sides of the table that day, and she hardly remembered any of them...

"Oh, I was in a bit of a rush that day, sorry, I didn't recognize you."

"Fool, he is the eldest son of the King of Hell, and also the most powerful in magic, Prince Boming."

His admiration and respect for Chu Xin were evident in his words. Well, he was practically a ghost himself, and it was a bit unreasonable that he didn't even know the top-ranked figure on the leaderboard.

"I have a question that's been on my mind for a long time, and I just have to get it off my chest. You could have easily taken care of that starving ghost, so why did you bother with those left and right hooks?"

After hearing her question, Lu Boming burst into laughter without any regard for his image.

Lu Boqing couldn't stand it anymore and explained in an annoyed tone, "This guy has this one quirk: he likes to find powerful ghosts to practice against so he can show off his fancy but ineffective martial arts."

Ling Yue: ……

"You played really well, didn't you!"

This little original intention has been maintained again; this person is definitely a die-hard fan.

As they walked along the road, it was already late at night, and there were hardly any pedestrians. Ling Yue's nose turned red from the cold night wind.

Chu Xin walked ahead with Lu Boqing. It was obvious that Chu Xin was like a hungry puppy, constantly asking questions and trying to get nourishment from its master.

Jing Yucheng followed silently from behind, like a background prop.

When Ling Yue felt a warmth on her shoulder, she turned her head and saw Jing Yucheng draping his coat over her shoulders.

I never expected that this person who looks so cold on the outside would have such a sensitive side.

"Thank you, Jing Yucheng."

The two walked behind each other in silence for a while, when Jing Yucheng suddenly asked, "How come you have a vengeful ghost on you? Why isn't she afraid of me at all?"

Ling Yue didn't react for a moment. Was he talking about Sweetheart?

Sweetheart is mostly residing in the black stone she carries with her. She only appears when she is hungry or senses that Ling Yue is in danger, so Ling Yue easily forgets about her.

"You mean Sweetheart?"

As Ling Yue spoke, she took the black stone out of her bag and called out to it, "Sweetheart, sweetheart."

Soon the black stone emitted a crystal-clear light, and then Sweetheart appeared.

"My friend found this black stone underground at his construction site. He thought it was special and brought it home. Sweetheart was attached to this stone from the start, and somehow she was able to come out. I guess she was too hungry and had no concept of food at all. She just started absorbing my friend's spiritual energy! My friend almost died because of it. I guess I helped her unlock a lot of things that taste better than human spiritual energy. She's been following me ever since, wanting me to feed her delicious food."

After Ling Yue finished speaking, she hurriedly rummaged through her bag and pulled out a bag of spicy strips, not knowing whether Sweetheart would like to eat them.

He opened the package and handed it to Sweetie, who first sniffed it curiously, then stuck out her tongue and licked it, before quickly finishing the whole bag of spicy strips...

"By the way, you just asked why Sweetheart isn't afraid of you. I think she probably doesn't even know what fear is?"
