His feeling of suffocation finally subsided, and he felt that someone was talking to his ears in the dream.

“Living is so hard. Why don’t you put an end to this? Then no one will hurt you or hate you. Come on. Close your eyes and sleep forever. Don’t wake up again. Sleep, sleep. Sleep…”

“You have suffered so much, why do you still stay in this dark world? Sleep, sleep. Give me your body; sleep, sleep forever…”

Xia Mingyu felt so frazzled. He thought that it was time to end this. He couldn’t protect Doudou and other children; he couldn’t protect himself… Death was around the corner and he couldn’t do anything about it…

“If you have made up your mind… Are you sure…”

“Yes, I’m.”

Before he completely lost consciousness, he suddenly heard the conversation between Mu Feng and Zhao Yun. Shortly after that, his lips felt pressed by something soft. What was it? He wanted to open his eyes to see what was happening, but he couldn’t. He didn’t have the strength.

“Sleep…” “Wake up!” “Sleep…” “No! ”

There seemed to be two persons fighting in his mind. Xia Mingyu frowned uncomfortably.

“Just go to hell! Go! Be my ghost child!”

No, he couldn’t! He would rather die than become a ghost child with his soul bounded and tortured. That would be exactly the same as when he was in the Zhao Family? No! He must wake up! He had to!

Xia Mingyu suddenly woke up. He moved so violently that Zhao Yun, who was sitting beside him, was also awoken. Xia Mingyu, just like a frightened young beast, shoutedhelplessly,”No.” Zhao Yun held Xia Mingyu in his arms tightly and patted his back to comfort him. “Don’t be afraid, you’re safe now.”

He had gone through countless nights when he woke up from fear and had no one ask for help. He had no other choice but to cower at the corner, crying with the kylin pendant, the only thing that could make him feel safe. Now without the kylin pendant, he grew even more frightened.

Xia Mingyu grabbed Zhao Yun’s clothes tightly. After all, he was only a child. When the only thing he could rely on was gone, he would definitely collapse unless he found something else to depend on.

He was in fear, shivering and crying. He was seeking for shelter on Zhao Yun. This was what Zhao Yun thought in his mind. He had his chin rested on the boy’s head, patting his back softly. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you.”

“Wooo…”

The young man whimpered, with his body curling up in Zhao Yun’s arms. He was really terribly scared. He had been freaked out by ghosts, chased by zombies, and later bitten by snakes, which was really startling. However, nothing could be as shocking as almost being killed. Anyway, he was only a child. How could he not feel afraid?

Zhao Yun didn’t say much. He only patted the back of Xia Mingyu again and again, like comforting a child. Comforted by him quietly, Xia Mingyu calmed down soon and stopped trembling. However, he couldn’t leave Zhao Yun. Once he couldn’t see Zhao Yun, he would panic.

Mu Feng came inside to give Xia Mingyu a body check and found nothing wrong. When he saw Xia Mingyu was gripping Zhao Yun’s clothes tightly, he shook his head only. He Nai got anxious and asked, “Master, how’s Mingyu now? Lin Laowu is such a scumbag. How can he hurt the children in his own village!”

Mu Feng stared at Xia Mingyu and pointed to his own head. “He is neither very well or bad. He is a bit… Um, he is muddleheaded now because his soul had left his body before. Although the blood contract saved his life, as to the brain, he has to recover on his own.”

Eight Tails yawned and looked up in the arms of Forget Chuan, “Didn’t you mean that he either becomes a lunatic or becomes a normal person again?” After learning things from Zhao Yun, Eight Tails got a lot of new words.

“Pretty much close. Alas, I kind of regret not giving this thing back to him.” Mu Feng took out the kylin pendant from his pocket, hesitated for a second, and handed it over to Zhao Yun. “Take this. It’s very important to him and it’s not an ordinary pendant. If he comes to his sense, give it to him. If he really can’t… It’s fine that you keep this. After all, it is useless to me,”

Mu Feng said and turned around to tell Wangchuan and He Nai not to leave randomly for cultivation. Nuonuo was a completely wandering soul now and his body was burned by Lin Laowu with his ashes put in a jar. Afterwards, he was taken away by Wangchuan from Lin Laowu’s house while the other ghost children were subdued by Mu Feng. Now Mu Feng was going to send them to a temple of endless streams of pilgrims for salvation. Unfortunately, Nuonuo’s soul couldn’t be relieved yet, for he hadn’t gone through the First Seven.

When Mu Feng left, He Nai looked at Xia Mingyu, who was more silent than before, and sighed. “Alas, Wangchuan, will it be better if we send for a psychiatrist? Or we can get a hypnotist. If we leave him alone like this and he can’t recoverm what shall we do?”

Lin Chuan couldn’t make up his mind, so he could only ponder silently. He poked the head of Eight Tails, and then he lazily opened his eyes, “What are you doing?”

“Don’t you know magic?” He Na asked, and Eight Tails snorted, “How can it be so easy?” It was true that I had cultivated the Eight Tails in the tomb, but I had never been hit by thunder. You should know that only if I succeed in the tribulation would I become stronger, whether it be the demon or the cultivator. I haven’t encountered a single thunder tribulation, and now I’m only twice as strong as your master. Besides, there was a problem with his spirit and he couldn’t recover by relying on external force. Otherwise, I would have been able to save him last time. How could he take over my master? ”

Thinking of the stifling Eight Tails from before, he felt a sense of displeasure. Nima, his master was the one who brought the life of a child. Forget about it. How could he even hide this little brat? He was so annoyed!

Zhao Yun only frowned when he heard the Eight Tails’s words. He turned his head to look at Xia Mingyu and found that the latter was just a little dazed and had no other emotions, so he followed the Eight Tails. After all, it was normal for children to have a temper.

“Alas, Mingyu is such a poor kid.” He Nai sighed. Nuonuo floated aside and wanted to get close to Xia Mingyu, who felt that Xia Mingyu smelt very good and appeared rather attractive to ghosts.

However, he was blocked by an invisible barrier half a meter away from Xia Mingyu. Zhao Yun glanced at him, which made Nuonuo retreat in fear and hide behind Wangchuan.

The Eight Tails looked at Nuo sympathetically. “I know you really want to get close to the little brat. Actually, I’m the same. However, my level is far higher than yours, so I don’t feel that strong. Uh, you’re too far. What? In short, you can’t get close to the little brat now, no Ganye! Do you understand? ”

Nuonuo nodded his head. He had no memory of the days when he was a living human, because Lin Laowu had already had him refined for three days and it was so close. However, Lin Laowu could never make it anymore. Therefore, Nuonuo was a wandering ghost now. Well, he was slightly better than ordinary ghosts. After all, he didn’t kill any human yet. He was only a weak wandering ghost.

In the end, both He Na and Forget Chuan left the room, while the Eight Tails stayed behind. He easily jumped to the bed. Zhao Yun looked at the Kirin pendant in his palm and put it on Xia Mingyu’s neck. The Eight Tails stretched out its claws, trying to peel it off, but it still blocked the barrier of Nuo and deflected his claws.

The Eight Tails licked the cat’s lips and laughed, “Master, it seems this Kirin pendant is indeed intelligent. It must have recognized a little ghost as its master, so it will automatically help him block the demon’s attack. Unfortunately, it is useless against animals and humans. But you were fine. It seems that it was because of the blood agreement.
