Chapter 615: Asking Chuyi for Help


    I was soconcentratedthatI didnt sleep for the whole night. When I heard the roosters crow in the vige, I knew it was almost dawn. I exhaled and rxed. However, I didnt dare to sleep now. I had toendurefor a littlelonger!


    After the sky had turnedpletely bright, I saw my father-inwwalkout of his room. Iwentto him. Father, did you sleep well? How do you feel now?


    Son, youve been out here watching the whole night? My father-inw looked at me in awe.He was touched.


    Before I answered him, he pulled up his shirt. I could see more and more soft skin on his belly.Althoughthere would besome scars, people would never know that he used to have scales there. It seemedSenior Shus secret ointment worked well.


    I went to my room and slept without having breakfast.


    I woke up in the afternoon. Yin Xinyue took me to see the wheat field. The snowwasmelting. I saw the white and greeninthe fields. The magnificent horizon in the far distance gave the scenerya gentle touch.


    Weactedlike kids. We scattered some corn kernels on the groundandset up a simple trap with a basket and a stick in hopes of catching some birds. At around twilight, we got seven or eight birds. After they had eaten up all the kernels, we released them.


    The weather during the day wasprettygood. At twilight, therewas a redafterglowonthe horizon. I didnt mind the dirty groundand pulledYin Xinyue to lie on the ground with me. Yin Xinyue giggled continuously. I had never seen her so happy before, which sweetened my heart.


    People saythat happytimesdon''st long. However, I thoughtthat they were being too greedy, which is whythey thought it was too short. The world keeps moving. How could we ask for eternity?


    For the next two days, Iwatchedoutside our parents room. Nothing had happened during thenights. My inws recoveredquickly. They didnt feel the pain from the scales anymore, and theyhad regainedcolorson their faces.


    However, as I had stayed up a few nights in a row, my body couldnt put up with it. On the fourth night, the whole family told me not to watch tonight. I thought that they were all right now, so I went to our room to sleep. Unexpectedly, something happened while I was sleeping.


    At around midnight, I heard a shrill. My father-inw screamed, Get lost, orI will hackyou to death!


    I realized that something foul hade to our house since my gentle father-inwwas screaming like that.I jolted up,grabbed the Holy Mother Scepter,and rushedout. However, when I came to their room, the door wasclosed. Theinside of the room waspletely quiet.


    I lowered my voice and called them. No one answered me. Instead, I heardvague snoring.


    I was doubtful.WasI dreaming just now?


    Yin Xinyue put on a coatand walkedto me. Hubby, whats wrong?


    Did you hear anything? I asked.


    Yin Xinyue shook her head. No, I didnt hear anything.


    Yin Xinyue alwayshad fast reflexes.If she didnt hear anything, it should be just a dream. I shook my head andwentback to our room to sleep.


    When I woke up in the morning, Yin Xinyue smiled at me. When we were about to leave the room, her eyes openedwide. Her voice was panic-stricken. Hubby, didsomethinghappest night?


    I followed her line of sight and saw the Holy Mother Scepter. Last night, I had tensed up, so I kept holding onto the Holy Mother Scepter.


    When I was about to exin to her, I realized that shehad seenme bring the Holy Mother Scepter to the bedst night. Why did she havesuch a strongreaction this morning?


    Indeed, when I asked her, Yin Xinyue paledand shookher head. No, I didnt wake upst night.


    My mind went nk. I immediately rushed toward our parents room.I grittedmy teethandkicked the door open. Astrongstench weed me. I saw our parents on the ground. They had dark blood allover theirbodies. It was even morefrightening to seethat they had grown scales again!


    Moreover, there were more scales this time, and the colors of the scales looked even darker and sharper; they had almost pierced through our parentspajamas.When Yin Xinyue saw that, she screamed and fainted.


    Shehad fainted because she wasworried, so I didnt mind herandrushedto my father-inw. I broughtmy shaky finger to his nose


    From the time I had heard the scream until now, it had been six or seven hours. Our parents had been on the ground foralong time and had losta lot ofblood. I was really afraid that they had already left this world. If so, I couldnt forgive myself formywhole life.


    It was good that both of them were still breathing feebly. I hurriedlyusedtalismans to block some of their vital acupoints to stop thebleeding. I then applied the ointment I made yesterday on them again. I had to grit my teeth while cutting off all the scales on their bodies.


    After I had done everything, their breathing was still weakbutstable. It seemed they were unconscious because of blood loss. I hurriedly cooked a pot of jujube, chili, and spinach, which were all good for replenishing blood. Ipoured a bowl for each of them.


    Watching thembreathenormally, I exhaled. I then usedsomehuo xiang perfumeto wake Yin Xinyue up.


    When she opened her eyes, the first thing she did was look at her parents.When shesawthat her parents liveswerentat stake, she slumped again. I had to scoop her up and help her get on her feet.


    Honey, Iwasso scared. I almost lost my parents.I was so scared... Yin Xinyue repeated her words as though her mind was about to crack.


    I didntfort her, but went to take a few photos of the scales and sent them to Chuyi. I thentexted him.Do you know whatthese are?


    I thought that he would just send meamessage with some instructions. Unexpectedly, he called me. His voice was serious.Jiulin, where did you get those scales?


    As I had turned on the speaker of the phone, Yin Xinyue heardour conversation. She criedand askedChuyi to help us.


    Iwanted to talkwith him for a while before asking for his help. Butas she had already asked him, I proceeded to tell himabout the situation. Can you make time toe here and help me?


    Send the address to my phone. Before I arrive, you must try tokeeptheir disease in check! He curtly asked for the address when helearnedthat my inws were in trouble. After we hung up, I could tellthatYin Xinyuewas feelingbetter.


    With Chuyis help, Im surewe can solve the problem!We just need to ensure that your parents situationwontworsenat night. Dont worry, honey!


    Yin Xinyue nodded.Husband, Im sorry. Iwasso worried that Iwouldlose my parents


    She cried and apologized. She understood thatshe didnt trustme enough as she had directly asked Chuyi for help.


    Silly girl, Im your husband. Dont you ever tell me that!


    I kissed her tear-covered faceandcollected all the scales, burningthem.


    Our parents stillhadn''t wokenupwhen night fell. Yin Xinyue was worriedand asked,Whats wrong?


    Dont worry. They are old andhavelost a lot of blood. Its normalfor them to sleepfor quite a long time. Its good for their recovery, hon.


    We had a simple dinner. Yin Xinyue brought a bowl of congee and asked, Can I feed my parents some congee?


    I nodded. She went to the room. In the next second, she screamedat the topof herlungs, followed by the nging noise of the bowlfalling tothe floor.


    Whats wrong?


    I sprinted in. At first nce, I sawtheword, death written on the ground in front of the bed. The word was around onemeter big. From its bright red color, I guessed it was writteninblood.


    This word hadnt been there before.Somethinghadsneaked into our parents room while we were cooking. I checked my inws. They were still breathing, which made me feelrelieved.


    However, that thinghad wanderedright under my nose,and I didnteven notice it.I felt restless and worried. Chuyi had asked me tokeep it in checkuntil he came.Would I be able to put up with it for any longer?


    Hubby, dont me yourself.


    When Yin Xinyue knew that her parents were all right, she soon adjusted her mood. Looking at my perplexed countenance, she encouraged me. Could it be scared of us?To be exact, could it bescared of you?


    What? I calmed down and thought about it.


    She had a point.I thought we had solved it a few days ago, but it seemed that thing was just biding its time.


    It couldn''t act asI hadwatchedour parents for a fewnightsin a row. Moreover,I heard themotionst night and ran to check. At that moment,theirroom quieted down, which made me think that I had seen an illusion.Perhaps that thing was really afraid of me.


    Interesting


    During the past fewyears, I had encountered countless spirits, including nativeandforeign generals, emperors, andmon people. However, no matter how strong they were, none had evershownthat they were afraid of me. Moreover, it made me skeptical. If that thing was socowardly, why would it keep pestering Yin Xinyues parents?


    I decided to testthe creatureone more time. AlthoughI wouldn''t putYin Xinyues parents in danger, I needed todiscuss it withher first.


    Yin Xinyue asked gingerly, Will they be okay?


    As long as I live, they will be okay.


    Yin Xinyue bit her lower lip. I trust you.


    I was persistent, but it wasntbecause I wanted to show off in front of her. Chuyi had agreed toe to help, and if Icouldn''t even do what hed asked of me, I would be truly useless.
