r encountered him, they would flatter him endlessly. But now that it concerned their lives, they were all willing to throw caution to the wind; as ruffians, naturally they wouldn't hold back.If killin...Chapter 234: Ghostly Wife

"Who is it!"

Xiao Yu shouted from outside the door but didn’t wait for a reply. Instead, he walked toward the clinic’s main entrance.

Just as Xiao Yu was heading towards the front door, a man's voice sounded from outside.

The sound was very familiar to Xiao Yu, yet he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. He opened the clinic’s door and let the person in.

"Doctor... doctor... save me!"

As soon as Xiao Yu opened the door, a man ran inside, looking anxious and shouting at him.

Xiao Yu only then noticed that it was the same weak-looking man who had come to see him earlier in the afternoon. The man cried out for help upon seeing Xiao Yu.

This puzzled Xiao Yu; the man looked fine now and even better than he did this afternoon. Did his girlfriend feel something when he used the talisman to drive away a ghost That shouldn't be possible! Ordinary people can’t see ghosts, they only feel a chill.

"Don’t worry so much, you look perfectly fine. What’s wrong" Xiao Yu asked the man, who looked very anxious.

"Doctor, it's not me... it’s... my girlfriend... she's about to die!"

The man calmed down a bit but was still panting heavily due to his weak condition and hurried pace. Sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Where is your girlfriend Why hasn't she come"

Upon hearing that it was the man’s girlfriend who needed help, Xiao Yu instinctively looked outside but seeing no one there, he curiously asked:

"My girlfriend is at home. I wanted to take her to the hospital, but she wouldn’t go. I have no choice but to ask you to come over!"

This man had now recovered and was speaking to Xiao Yu rapidly.

The man had no choice but to do as he did today. After returning home, he put the packet of medicine that Xiao Yu had given him under his pillow and took out another packet to boil and drink half of it, saving the rest for later in the evening.

By around 9 PM at night, after drinking the remaining half bowl of medicine, his girlfriend returned home.

He also found this girlfriend rather strange. He had met her about a month ago; one evening when he was returning from an internet cafe, she approached him near his house and said that she had nowhere to go and hoped that he would take her in.

In the dead of night encountering a girl saying she has no place to stay and asking for his help, plus the fact that this girl was quite beautiful, naturally pleased this young man. He didn't expect an encounter like this so late at night, so he brought her home and they ended up having relations.

When he woke up the next morning, she had already left; only then did he realize something seemed strange about last night, picking up a woman in the middle of the night and sleeping with her.

But very soon afterwards, he felt it wasn't such an unusual occurrence. In modern society, there are too many women seeking thrills like this; they're just lucky enough to encounter someone willing to take them in. He has never heard anyone at work saying that when they go to nightclubs every evening, they become newlyweds.

Perhaps this woman is also from a nightclub and calls everyone she sleeps with her husband! Thinking of this made him feel relieved.

The next day, he didn't think too much about it but felt quite satisfied inside, having had such a beautiful woman for the night.

Who would have thought that when he returned home after work the next day, this woman was still waiting at his doorstep. Seeing her there again brought back last night's delightful experience, so he quickly invited her in once more. After an intense session of passion, both ended up exhausted and lying on the bed.

After some inquiry, he learned that this woman’s name is Zhou Yuqing. Her parents are abroad, leaving her alone to work in Shenhai; her job requires her to wake up early for work and return around 8 or 9 PM at night. She claimed she had liked him a long time ago and mustered the courage to come over last night.

From then on, this woman came every evening and left before dawn. Although he complained about it, she said it was for work reasons.

This evening, after drinking Xiao Yu's medicine, Zhou Yuqing returned again. They had just started when his girlfriend let out a scream; the woman seemed to want to leave but hesitated, staying instead. Soon enough, her behavior indicated serious illness as she rolled and screamed on the bed.

Seeing Zhou Yuqing like this, he wanted to take her to the hospital, but she refused adamantly, saying if he took her there, she would never come back.

Today after taking Xiao Yu's medicine, his body that had been cold suddenly started to warm up, making him feel very comfortable. He also began to trust Xiao Yu’s medical skills more. So when Zhou Yuqing fainted just now, he immediately thought of Xiao Yu and rushed over here without delay, intending to bring Xiao Yu home to treat his girlfriend.

When Xiao Yu heard him say that his girlfriend was waiting for help, he was taken aback. How could it be such a coincidence Could... could his girlfriend be that ghost

But… how did he see her then Moreover, he didn't feel any difference between this ghost and an ordinary person, which was very strange. Generally, ghosts were intangible; humans couldn’t touch them. Only those with years of cultivation and old ghosts could be touched by people. Could this female ghost be one such

"Let's go!"

After tidying up his belongings, Xiao Yu said to the man.

Xiao Yu took the large brush pen and peach wood sword, then carried his medical case. He wasn't sure if this woman was indeed that ghost, so he didn't want to take any chances in case his girlfriend really needed urgent treatment. Therefore, he brought the medical case just in case.

The two of them arrived outside the clinic where a taxi was parked. However, Xiao Yu didn’t get into it but drove his own car instead. What if he couldn't find a taxi to take him home late at night

Furthermore, buying a car was meant for convenience. Xiao Yu asked the man to wait while he went and got his car from the parking lot. The man was taken aback by Xiao Yu's car; how could someone who drives such an expensive car run a clinic

Xiao Yu followed behind the taxi, heading toward an old residential area. This neighborhood seemed to have been built in the 80s or 90s. It wasn't just narrow but also dilapidated, giving one a sense of decay even at night.

Because it was too cramped for cars, Xiao Yu ended up parking his car on the sidewalk by the entrance of the neighborhood.

"Doctor, please come in quickly…" When Xiao Yu got out of the car, the man walked over and said anxiously. He had been outside for more than half an hour and didn’t know how his unconscious girlfriend was doing.

Xiao Yu saw the worry in the man's eyes and quickened his pace to catch up with him. They entered the neighborhood and turned several corners before arriving at a dilapidated building. The building had only five or six floors, typical of an 80s-90s residential area.

The man led Xiao Yu to the entrance of one unit in this building. This unit's door was low and narrow, barely allowing anyone through. Moreover, the hallway inside the apartment block was pitch black with no lighting at all.

When they walked into the hallway, the man took out a small flashlight from his pocket. It had a strong beam of light. Under its illumination, Xiao Yu followed the man to the fourth floor.

The building's layout consisted of three units per floor. The man led Xiao Yu to one unit on the west side and invited him inside after opening the door.

As Xiao Yugang just stepped through the door, a chilling cold air hit him right away. The temperature inside was even lower than outside by several degrees, and this chill carried with it a heavy sense of Yin energy.

"My girlfriend doesn't like to keep lights on, so we rarely turn them on at home!"

The man held his flashlight as he walked into the house, telling Xiao Yugang along the way.

A soft click was heard when the man turned on the living room light.

With the lights on, a dim and faint glow spread from the bulb in the living room. Even with the lights on, Xiao Yugang could barely make out the rough shape of his surroundings through the hazy illumination.

This was a small studio apartment roughly around 30 square meters, consisting of one bedroom and one living room. Inside, there were very few items; in the living room sat two old sofas opposite to an old TV that was about 21 inches in size.

"Where is the patient"

Xiao Yugang glanced around briefly before asking the man.

The moment he stepped into this house, Xiao Yugang felt a dense aura of Yin energy swirling inside. In addition to that, there was also a trace of pure Yin energy coming from an inner room which, although pure, was very faint.

Feeling the presence of this weak Yin energy, Xiao Yugang was taken aback; he initially thought it might be an ancient ghost, but such weakness suggested merely a newly formed spirit.

However, how could a brand-new spirit come into contact with someone This puzzled Xiao Yugang greatly.

"She's in the room... she's in the room... Doctor, please come in!"

Hearing Xiao Yugang’s words, the man hurriedly led him towards the inner room where faint ghostly energy was emanating from.

Inside, it was even colder than outside. Looking at the unconscious female spirit lying on the floor, her presence was extremely weak. Xiao Yugang believed that she would disintegrate soon without a proper soul anchor.

The man looked anxiously at the ghostly figure sprawled out on the ground and quickly went over to help lift her up. could even be considered as the younger generation of Old Li, quite close to him too. For many years now, Old Li had been out of the limelight. Why would he take a special interest in Xiao Yu who was...
