AfterÂ
Senior Shu
 screamed, heÂ
grabbed
 Zhao Feiyan.Â
Zhao Feiyan was surprised momentarily.Â
However, she
 abruptly flew from the sofa and avoided the attack.Â
A
n emerald green layered skirt flew out
. It danced and entangledÂ
withÂ
Senior Shu
!Â
Seeing this, I couldn’t help but recall Zhou Ehuang, the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. They had experienced the same situation, as their younger sisters were in theirÂ
husbands’
 harems
. They were both left to face loneliness
. After they died, they chose similar weapons.Â
Zhuo Ehuang used her sleeves, while Zhao Feiyan used her green skirt.
Â
This skirt should haveÂ
an
 interesting background. With this thought, I wanted toÂ
check
 Zhao Feiyan’sÂ
webpage
 again.
Unexpectedly,Â
Senior Shu
 screamed, “You stinky boy, why are you standing dumbly over there?!”Â
I lifted my head and recognized thatÂ
Senior Shu
 had been almost subdued.
Â
Zhao Feiyan’s skirt was forcing him to back off. He had to release his li
f
e-bound rat.Â
When Zhao Feiyan saw the life-bound rat, her movements stiffened. She screamed and retreated to the toilet room. I was certain that she had spotted me, and that she thought that I would be an easier target to deal with. I immediately read the spell and threw the Yin and Yang Umbrella across the void.Â
Daoism paid attention to the concept of inaction. Every spell or mantra used to expel evil spirits had an order. Whenever we read a spell, we move
d
 from the shallow meaning to the stronger meaning. However, this time, I didn’tÂ
use itÂ
as IÂ
usually
 did. IÂ
used the
 Yin and Yang UmbrellaÂ
at
Â
its
 maximum powerÂ
on
 the first attempt! Instantly, the dazzling light from the Yin and Yang Umbrella burst out as though it could radiate thousands of meters away
. It litÂ
up the entire room! Moreover, it moved as fast as lightning
, hoveringÂ
above Zhao Feiyan.Â
While unde
r the umbrella, she didn’t hide or look panicked. She just turned to look at me with surprise in her eyes. Then, she darkly smiled at me
 and spun around. The moving skirt formedÂ
a green light circle.Â
I thought I had almost succeeded but now
,Â
I had to take in a deep breath.Â
TheÂ
spirit
s captured underneath the Yin and Yang Umbrella would scream in pain. Even if they were intimidating, they would show their panic. Zhao Feiyan didn’tÂ
reveal
 anything when I read the spell
, and h
er spinning speed was much faster than the Yin and Yang Umbrella.Â
She was indeed the most famous dancer ofÂ
her
 time!Â
Senior Shu
 stood like a tiger watchingÂ
his
 prey next to Zhao Feiyan
. H
isÂ
expression
 was serious.Â
This old man had so many treasures, but he hadn’t used any this time. I guessed he was afraid that I would rob him one more time, which resultedÂ
in this
 embarrassing situation. We could protect ourselves, but we couldn’t do anything to theÂ
spirit
. Now, we had to entrust our hope in the Yin and Yang Umbrella.Â
A few minutes later, my reading speed couldn’t keep up with her anymore. The Yin and Yang Umbrella slowed down, but it didn
’t look likeÂ
Zhao Feiyan was tired.Â
Gradually, I felt an invisible pressure on my chest. Every time I read a verse of the spell, my heart throbbed. In the end, I couldn’t endure anymore
 and spatÂ
a mouthful of blood.Â
When engaging in a magic fight, itÂ
was
 important to be persistent. When I vomited blood, the Yin and Yang Umbrella dropped to the ground
. I
ts halo vanis
hed
.Â
I gasped for my breath and clutched my chest
. I movedÂ
towardÂ
Senior Shu
.Â
We c
autiously watched Zhao Feiyan.Â
“Grandson, it seems your grandfatherÂ
won’t be going back with you
 today.”Â
Senior Shu
 patted my shoulder
 to show that he cared, like a senior comforting a junior
. Then, he sat down cross-legged
 and read aÂ
mantra I didn’t understand. As soon as he started to chant, a gray light ring appeared around Zhao Feiyan.Â
Zhao Feiyan was about to attack us again when suddenly
, sheÂ
turned pale
.Â
She crouched
 and retched
. I rubbed my eyes and recognized that the gray light ring was made of numerous rats
. TheyÂ
were rolling their eyes and baring the teeth!Â
“I
’ll fightÂ
you till the end…”Â
Zhao Feiyan hissed then flipped and manipulated her layered skirt
. She attackedÂ
again. This time, her moves were much faster. The strong wind blew my hair backward.Â
At first, I was worried. But soon, I recognized that Zhao FeiyanÂ
wouldn’t be able to
 resist for a long time. She was moving fast, but her moves were disorder
ly
. She couldn’t createÂ
a
 green shield to protect herself anymore.Â
“Arghhh!”
 After l
etting out a shrill cry, Zhao Feiyan fell hard on the ground
. H
er eyes were full of fear and worry.Â
Senior Shu
 retrieved his gray light ring. With aÂ
deep
 and confident voice, he turned to me. “Go get her!”Â
I didn’t know whyÂ
Senior Shu
 wanted to release Zhao FeiyanÂ
at
 this critical moment, but I didn’t ask.Â
I drew
 the Sirius Whip from my waist
 andÂ
slowlyÂ
walked toward
 her.Â
Without her intimidating speed, Zhao Feiyan was helpless. As I was approaching her, she backed off to the toilet room. Eventually, she stood in front of Feng Yuanzheng.Â
“WhyÂ
do
 you want to harm otherÂ
people
?” I didn’t chase her any further. Standing in front of the toilet, IÂ
said
 coldly
,
 “You are the older sister, and you wanted to compete against your little sister. Don’t you feel shame?”Â
Zhao Feiyan’sÂ
obsession
 was the competition for the Emperor’s favor. She had put up with it when she was alive because of the blood bond with her sister. However, after she died, she had no emotion, but herÂ
obsession
 had become deeper and deeper. In the end, she had turned into this evil being.Â
Zhao Feiyan was bewildered. Then, she sneered
.
 “Oh well, excuse me, but she stole my husband and my happiness
!
 She stole the favor I once had. She’s my enemy! I hate her!
Â
Hede is my blood sister. My blood sisterÂ
didÂ
that to me.Â
What
 about otherÂ
people
? I know. I know you all want to harm me. I will kill you all!”Â
Zhao Feiyan’s voice became crazy.Â
At this
 moment, I understood her. The imperial harem was as deep as the ocean. To survive, the women in there would passively or actively change themselves. Every single one of them had to do that, let aloneÂ
a concubine like
 Zhao Feiyan
.Â
This kind of change was unbearable to anyone!
I was a little absent-minded for the moment. Suddenly, I heard someone scream. I turned and saw Feng Yuanzheng taking action. He did as I hadÂ
instructed. He was u
sing the Peach Soul Flower to hit Zhao FeiyanÂ
at
 the nape of her neck.Â
Zhang Yan trembled for a while. Then, Zhao Feiyan’sÂ
spirit
 left her body. She was so mad
 that
Â
she turned and tried to strangle
 Feng Yuanzheng
. SheÂ
directlyÂ
lifted
 him off the ground.Â
“Good, do you want to harm me too? Then don’t blame me for showing no mercy!” Zhao Feiyan said withÂ
a smirk. Her eyes had
 turnedÂ
blood red.Â
Since
 our lives were at stake, how could I sympathize with Zhao Feiyan anymore? I shouted, then wielded the Sirius Whip
 and lashed it at
 Zhao Feiyan. Zhao Feiyan dropped Feng Yuanzheng and flewÂ
toward
 the window.Â
Right when I was about to chase after her, the window glowed with golden light. Zhao Feiyan bounced backward.Â
Amidst
 the golden light, I saw many talismans adheredÂ
to the
 window.Â
It seemed Senior Shu
 had prepared everything.Â
ThisÂ
move
 could stop theÂ
spirit
, but it would also enrage her and make her fight until the bitter end. I immediately jingled theÂ
Illusory
 Mind Bell.Â
TheÂ
Illusory
 Mind Bell always worked on those w
ith distracting
 thoughts,Â
whether they were
 human
s or
Â
spirit
s.Â
At this
 moment, Zhao Feiyan’s soulÂ
was
Â
severely
 damaged. She couldn’t resist theÂ
Illusory
 Mind Bell. She fell
 and struggledÂ
on the ground.Â
“
Why did you have to do that
!” I cursed fromÂ
under my breath
.Â
When I faced women, myÂ
heart always
 softened.Â
It didn’t matter if
 she was human or a ghost. A moment ago, I hated that I couldn’t just strike her soul and make her vanish. But now
 thatÂ
Zhao Feiyan was whimpering in pain, I couldn’t take any bold actions towards her. I slowed down the movement of theÂ
Illusory
 Mind Bell.Â
“Ah!”
Â
Zhao Feiyan took the chance. She screamed and charged toward the window
 without minding anythingÂ
else. She directly broke the golden light created by the talismans. Then, her shadow disappeared into thin air.Â
I looked at the shards of glass on the ground
 and hatedÂ
myselfÂ
for being such a fool
. Feng Yuanzheng got up from the ground
. He lookedÂ
frightened. “What should we do now?”Â
“Take your wife to the hospital. What else can we
Â
do?” I vented
 out
 the anger in my mind.Â
There was a loud thud from the living room. I rushed back there and sawÂ
Senior Shu
 with a chalk-white face
. He had fallen toÂ
the ground
. Blood was
 gushing from his mouth.Â
“
Senior Shu
, are you okay?” I was scared. I had never seenÂ
him like
 this before.Â
Senior Shu
’s voice trembled. “Don’t blame yourself. It’s good that she ran away
.
 If she had noticed that I couldn’t resist anymore, we would all have died tonight
.
 Hurry, leave this place…”Â
Then,Â
Senior Shu
’s eyes rolled to the back of his head
. He had fainted
. I now understood that it wasn’t thatÂ
Senior Shu
 had given Zhao Feiyan a chance to survive. He was hurt!Â
Feng Yuanzheng was panic-stricken
 and calledÂ
the ambulance. The emergency unit came and took bothÂ
Senior Shu
 and Zhang Yan to the ambulance.Â
Feng Yuanzheng wanted to follow them, but I held him back
. I toldÂ
him he could go later.Â
I patiently explained, “Zhao Feiyan was ambushed today. I’m sure the iron swallow is still in your house. We need to find it. Otherwise, Zhao Feiyan will come here one more time for it.”Â
Feng Yuanzheng nodded
 and tookÂ
me to search around his house. In the end, we found the iron swallow tucked underneath Zhang Yan’s bed.Â
“Zhao Feiyan
’s soul
Â
was
 expelled from your wife’s body, and now we have the iron swallow. I don’t think it will be too difficult to subdue her!” I smiled at Feng Yuanzheng.Â
However, he didn’t react to my encouragingÂ
words
. He still looked anxious.Â
“Don’t think too much
, all right?
”Â
He couldn’t ease his mind yet.Â
But
Â
since
 we could solve Zhao Feiyan within the next three days, I didn’t want to linger here
. I askedÂ
him to go to the hospital.
