After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.

the next day.

Ling Yue got up early, still thinking about Seventeen's situation at the hospital.

She agreed to visit Zhang's mother, who was seventeen years old.

When I went downstairs, I saw my parents eating breakfast in the dining room.

Their family doesn't have any table manners that require everyone to be present before starting a meal.

"It's like the sun has risen in the west! Baby, you're up so early today!"

Liang Lina saw that Ling Yue was dressed neatly and even had makeup on.

It's only seven in the morning.

"Mom and Dad, I have to go out for a bit."

Ling Yue greeted the two people at the table and was about to leave when she realized, "Where's Xiao Bao?"

"Where's Xiaobao? Is he still not up? It's not the weekend."

"Xiao Lu just took Xiao Bao to kindergarten."

Ling Guofu answered his daughter's question even while chewing something.

Xiao Lu?

Could it be Lu Boqing?

"Nothing is more important than eating. Come on, eat your breakfast. Your mom makes incredibly delicious soy milk!"

Ling Yue checked the time; it was indeed still early.

"Dad, is the 'Little Lu' you're talking about Lu Boqing?"

"Yes, he's been helping out at home for a while now. Isn't he your business partner? He seems like a very reliable man. He said you were busy starting your business, and he was taking care of the baby at home. The baby loves him!"

Ling Guofu was full of praise for Lu Boqing, and it seemed he couldn't stop praising him.

Liang Lina was a little worried and moved her chair closer to her daughter.

He asked in a low voice, "What's going on between you and Jing Yucheng? Last time I saw Old Master Jing, he was already talking to me about your wedding date! And now there's this Xiao Lu, your dad seems to like her quite a bit. Let me tell you this first, we don't tolerate two-timing in our family. If I find out you're two-timing, I won't let you off the hook!"

After saying that, he poked Ling Yue's head hard.

Ling Yue: ……

It's better to skip breakfast.

Ling Yue finished her soy milk in one gulp and also ate two potstickers.

"Mom and Dad, I really have something urgent to do. I've finished eating, please enjoy your meal."

As soon as Ling Yue stepped out, she saw Lu Boqing!

This guy finally showed up.

Ling Yue was about to step forward and question him.

But then Lu Boqing came up and punched Ling Yue.

Fortunately, she had already practiced Bagua Tai Chi and barely dodged the punch.

Just as he was about to feel fortunate that he now had some skills, Lu Boqing attacked him again.

isn't it?

What's wrong with Lu Boqing? Why is he coming again?

The two then fought back and forth, and Ling Yue, still angry, didn't hold back.

However, her stamina was poor, and she soon became breathless from exhaustion.

He waved his hands repeatedly: "No more fighting, no more fighting! What's wrong with you? I haven't even asked you why you haven't shown up for so long. What have you been busy with?"

Lu Boqing walked over, put his hand on Ling Yue's back, and then she didn't feel so tired anymore and was less out of breath when she spoke.

"I've been practicing Bagua Tai Chi quite well lately, but there's still room for improvement."

She knew he was testing her, but she didn't pay it any mind.

Ling Yue quickly pulled Lu Boqing aside and told him about her encounter with the mad ghost at the hospital.

He also voiced his doubts: "Why did the mad ghost disperse all of a sudden? I was still wondering how to subdue it, but it just vanished on its own."

"The 'obsessive ghost' is actually a product of human obsession, not a ghost in the true sense. If a person becomes addicted to or obsessed with something, it can lead to the creation of an obsessive ghost in severe cases."

They do not exist independently; they often attach themselves to a person. Once this obsession and addiction are eliminated, they will naturally dissipate.

In the situation you encountered, it was forcibly removed from the body, and thus it could no longer control the person's consciousness.

It turned out to be the case.

The mad ghost that you dispelled yourself was just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

"You still haven't answered me what you've been busy with lately? I haven't seen you at all. I feel so insecure when I don't see you, you know that!"

Lu Boqing stared at Ling Yue for a long time, making her think that he hadn't wiped his mouth clean after eating.

He casually touched his mouth a couple of times with his hand.

"what happened?"

Lu Boqing hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Ling Yue, I may not be able to be by your side all the time for a while. You need to take good care of yourself and try to become stronger."

"What do you mean?"

Ling Yue couldn't accept that Lu Boqing was leaving her.

Will she still be able to live?

Seeing that Ling Yue's expression had turned somewhat unpleasant and that she was getting agitated, Lu Boqing knew that she wouldn't be able to accept this all at once.

You wicked City God!

They actually said she's known for being heartless and that her temporary departure wouldn't have a significant impact on her.

"Don't overthink it. I've already completed my internship in the Underworld, and the City God wants me to go for further training for a while."

"I'll be back after my studies, why are you so excited? What? You're going to miss me?"

"Oh dear, why didn't you say so sooner! You scared me to death! I thought you weren't going to be my partner anymore! It's okay, I'm working hard. I just learned Bagua Tai Chi. Next, I'm going to study the secret manual my master gave me carefully!"

"When you come back from your studies, I'll definitely make you look at me in a completely different light!"

This guy is really heartless.

Lu Boqing looked at Ling Yue, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Forget it, I shouldn't say too much to her now. Let's take it slow.

"Bring me the phone."

Ling Yue naturally handed him her phone.

Lu Boqing opened the talisman. He specifically checked her merit balance.

There are fifty merits left.

Perhaps she has grown up.

In the past, I would have been anxious to do everything I could to accumulate merit, but now I am much calmer and more composed.

"I'll accompany you on one last mission before I leave."

"So fast?!"

Understanding his work is one thing.

When it came to the reality of his departure, Ling Yue was completely unprepared...

……

Hearing Lu Boqing mention the mission, Ling Yue remembered that she still had important matters to attend to.

On the way to the hospital, Ling Yue gave Lu Boqing a brief account of Seventeen's condition.

He then told him his guess that Zhang's mother, who was seventeen, might not actually be nearing the end of her life.

After arriving at the hospital, they found Seventeen and her ward.

This time, the 17th was very different from yesterday's; she was disheveled, with two very noticeable dark circles under her eyes.

When she saw Ling Yue coming to find her, she felt as if she had seen a savior.

He pulled her along to the public restroom to wash up.

"What big thing did you do last night? Your dark circles are so bad."

"Don't even mention it! I was so worried about running into that painted-skin ghost from yesterday. I didn't dare close my eyes all night, I'm so sleepy..."

"Last night, I didn't dare drink a drop of water, for fear of drinking too much water and having to go to the toilet, especially at night, the toilet is the place with the heaviest yin energy."

Ling Yue couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this.

"You know quite a lot!"

"That's right, this is the experience I've accumulated over one or two decades."
