Chapter 188: Chapter 188

"Wuu wuu wuu, Dad, how could you agree to it? Clearly, Muhe is possessed! Did you see it just now? The wound on his arm completely disappeared, it’s really too eerie."

Ms Chen covered her face and wept, "If he really gets married, won’t he lose his life?"

"But what can you do?"

Mr Chen furrowed his brow tightly, "He’s already self-harming, do you want to watch Muhe die before your eyes?"

Ms Chen was silent for a while, sobbing, "I’ll go find a Daoist to perform a ritual. What kind of demon wants to taint my son?"

"No need to waste time and effort looking for a Daoist, I have the perfect candidate."

Mr Chen said confidently, "She’s the one who told me about the evil spirit in the residence. With her here, Muhe is sure to pass through safely."

Ms Chen and Mr. Chen looked at each other, and out of respect for him, they did as he said.

It wasn’t long before the Chen residence was brightly lit, with red items set up everywhere for the wedding feast.

Red lanterns swayed gently in the air, their movement echoed by silvery laughter in the courtyard, as if it was satisfied with this arrangement.

"Chen Lang, Chen Lang..."

A woman’s seductive voice drifted through the air.

Chen Muhai’s gaze became vacant and filled with affection. He gently called, "Liuzhu, today is our wedding day, do you feast?"

The woman’s laughter echoed throughout the Chen residence, stirring Chen Muhai’s heart, while filling the others with trepidation.

"Wuu wuu wuu... I want to leave, there are ghosts in the residence."

"I want to leave too!"

The servants of the Chen residence were too afraid, stumbling and rushing towards the gate, trying to escape, only to find it tightly closed and impossible to open.

Dark clouds gathered densely in the sky, casting the Chen residence in shadow.

From one of the red lanterns, a figure in red floated out, a charming and beguiling female ghost flitting about, "No one is allowed to leave, you all must attend my wedding feast with Chen Lang tonight!"

The servants cried and pounded on the door, "Let us out, let us leave quickly."

Mr. Chen and Ms Chen were also pale and didn’t want to prevent them from leaving, but they didn’t expect to be trapped altogether now.

"What should we do about Muhe?" Ms Chen sobbed.

Mr Chen was the most composed among them, his gaze sharp as he stared at the door, and he said firmly, "Wait a little longer, she will come."

At this moment, the tightly shut door swung open.

The servants, overjoyed, tried to flee again, only to be bounced back by an invisible barrier.

"Huh? Not only is the evil Qi and resentment strong, but there is also a barrier here? It seems the entity at the Chen residence is more formidable than I imagined."

Yu Nianzhao stepped into the Chen residence, immediately sensing the barrier’s vibrations.

"Wuu wuu wuu, are we trapped forever?"

"Isn’t this a ghost wall?"

"Are we all going to die here?"

The servants huddled together, crying bitterly.

"What are you crying about? You won’t die."

Yu Nianzhao brushed her hair aside, "If my full divine power were intact, I might be able to break the barrier and let you out. Right now, I must conserve my strength. Nothing to cry about, just stay put. Once the malevolent spirit is dealt with, the Chen residence will return to normal."

Everyone in the Chen residence sized up Yu Nianzhao, noting her youthful appearance that, while beautiful, seemed a bit too young to be dealing with evil spirits, and their eyes held doubt.

"Zhaozhao, you’re finally here!"

Mr Chen saw Yu Nianzhao and finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurrying forward to greet her.

"Mr Chen, I came as soon as I received your message. Your residence indeed harbors a formidable malevolent spirit."

Yu Nianzhao lifted her gaze, the female ghost in midair glared at her with a resentful look before gradually fading away.

"Dad, who is this..."

Mr. Chen and Ms Chen stared at Yu Nianzhao with suspicion, never expecting the person the old man invited to be such a young girl.

"This is Yu Nianzhao, as I’ve mentioned to you, Zhaozhao is proficient in mystical arts. With her here, Muhe will be fine." Mr Chen assuredly stated, full of confidence.

"Miss Yu doesn’t look like a Daoist? Dad, did you make a mistake? Can she really do it?"

Ms Chen was not reassured, her mind full of discontent. Had she known the old man would bring a young girl, she would have taken the opportunity while they could still get out to find any Daoist outside.

"Of course! Don’t you trust my words? Zhaozhao is the future Princess Consort Su, I’ve witnessed her mystical arts with my own eyes. Having her here is a blessing!" Mr Chen wore an expression of pride.

Mr. Chen was even more surprised, "She’s the future Princess Consort Su?"

The couple was skeptical, but with no other option, they could only embrace the desperate situation.

"Mr Chen’s grandson is getting married?"

Without needing guidance, Yu Nianzhao calculated and followed the ghostly aura, arriving at Chen Muhai’s courtyard.

Raising her eyes, she saw the eerie red lantern at the entrance, its red eyes reflecting upon its surface, staring at her with an intense aura of resentment, palpable even across the distance.

"My grandson has neither set a marriage nor has a sweetheart by his side, truly a marriage from where? It was after bringing back this lantern that things got weird, and he began muttering the name ’Liuzhu,’ whom we do not know at all."

Mr Chen’s face was full of worry, "Even the red lantern itself reeks of evil, no one can take it down. Princess Consort, please look..."

"Bold female ghost, reveal yourself at once."

Yu Nianzhao stared at the red lantern for a moment, then flicked a talisman towards it. Updates are released by novel•fire.net

The Evil Exorcism Talisman stuck on the red lantern, causing the candle inside to flicker and float, furiously writhing in midair.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill my Liuzhu?"

Chen Muhai couldn’t stand it any longer. He rushed out of the room, the red lantern leaping into his arms. Ignoring everything, he tore the talisman off. Seeing the burn marks on the lantern, his heart ached immensely, and his gaze at Yu Nianzhao filled with venomous resentment.

"Liuzhu? The name of the female ghost?"

Yu Nianzhao calculated, squinting her eyes, "Ah, a cunning female ghost, planning to possess a body to continue past entanglements?"

Her words turned Chen Muhai’s complexion drastically. He quickly stepped back, but it was too late. Yu Nianzhao formed a symbol with one hand, making golden runes flicker across his body, revealing the face of another unfamiliar man on Chen Muhai.

Ms Chen was covered in goosebumps, pointing at Chen Muhai, she asked, "Who are you? You’re not my son?"
