Chapter 018: Haunted by a Lust Demon

"Sister, don't be like this! Xiaofei really wants to be friends with you!"

The girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, at the cute and innocent age. With her round little face and a touch of baby fat, when she acted coquettishly, she naturally aroused people's desire to protect her.

"Look, I even brought a gift for Grandpa Du!"

Saying that, she held a yellow silk bag with both hands and brought it in front of me. "It will be helpful for patients with cerebral hemorrhage..."

I was stunned. How did she know so much about my family's situation?

Just a moment of hesitation, and a white shadow suddenly emerged from the yellow bag with a "puff" sound. Along with a shrill ghostly laugh, I instantly felt an extremely cold air envelop my whole body.

I quickly raised my hand to make a heart - clearing spell.

Unexpectedly, the girl named Xiaofei actually hugged my arm and bit down hard on my wrist.

"Ouch..."

The intense pain came, and I couldn't help trembling. I could no longer focus my mind with the meditation technique.

The cold and eerie ghostly air instantly squeezed into my body!!

Bouts of coldness rushed from my heart to all parts of my body, and my body began to shake uncontrollably.

"Hahaha! Xiaofei, you're really a little imp. It's so easy to catch her!"

The greasy middle - aged stall owner behind finally caught up. He patted the clay on his body and pointed at me. "You little bitch, you can never escape from my grasp..."

"..."

My face was as pale as a sheet. Besides the cold, there was also a tingling sensation spreading along my nerves to all parts of my body.

"..."

The feeling of ants crawling all over my body made me can't help but grasp my own arm tightly.

"Yo! Moaning so lewdly. Which lustful god has possessed you?"

Seeing me biting my lips desperately, with a pale face but extremely red cheeks, the stall owner asked the girl named Xiaofei gloatingly.

"You know it well, Uncle Si."

Xiaofei licked the blood on her lips. There was a hint of a worldly air on her childish face that didn't match her age. "For a beautiful sister like this, of course, we use a lust demon... This is a treat for Uncle Si!"

"My good niece, you're really considerate of Uncle Si!"

The stall owner immediately showed an even more greasy and disgusting expression on his face. He walked towards me maliciously.

"..."

I naturally knew what the lust demon they were talking about was.

In the old days, some immoral cultivators would specifically capture the souls of men and women who died of sexual exhaustion in brothels.

The souls of those who died during sexual intercourse were full of resentment and were addicted to physical desires. With a little refining, they would become so - called "lust demons".

Those possessed by them would lose their nature and frantically seek sexual intercourse with the opposite sex until they exhausted themselves to death.

There was no way to contain these ghosts except to beat them to ashes!

Normally, dealing with such despicable ghosts was not difficult. A Five - Thunder Spell could easily solve the problem.

But now I was the unlucky one possessed by the lust demon. Even though I still had some consciousness in my mind, I couldn't control my body to make the hand gestures and recite the incantation...

While I still had some of my own consciousness in my mind, I only had one way out!

Escape!!

Escape far away and get out of the crowd!

If I could find a capable and upright mage, I might still be saved. If not...

I didn't dare to think anymore. I bit my tongue hard and barely held on to my sanity with the intense pain. Then I ran towards the dark night outside the market!

"Yo, where do you think you're going?!"

The middle - aged stall owner wasn't going to let the meat he was about to get away. But due to the large number of people in the ghost market, he was afraid that someone would interfere, so he didn't dare to push too hard.

On the contrary, the girl named Xiaofei had a venomous smile on her face, but she was shouting sweetly. "Sister, don't run around. It's dark and there might be bad people. You're so beautiful! What if something happens to you..."

I had never suffered such a big loss!

Hearing her words, waves of anger welled up in my heart. I almost immediately lost my soul to the lust demon in my mind.

I bit my tongue again. The additional pain made my tears well up instantly, and I regained some of my sanity.

However, the tingling on my body became more and more severe. I ran slower and slower. I only managed to reach the wasteland outside the market before I had no more strength. The Uncle Si reached out and grabbed my shoulder.

"You little bitch, where are you running?!"

His greasy voice rang in my ear. "You owe me 480,000! I'm going to see... what you're going to use to pay off the debt!"

Saying that, his other hand wrapped around my waist and reached for my chest.

"Get out of here!!"

I was both anxious and angry. I reached out to break his fingers. But because I made a sound, I couldn't hold on to the little bit of spiritual consciousness in my mind anymore. I only felt a loud "boom" in my head, and then my consciousness was squeezed into a dark corner. I watched helplessly as my body stretched out its hands to respond to the embrace of the greasy man...

"Uncle Si, don't do it here!"

Xiaofei was giggling behind us. "It's a long night. You should enjoy yourself properly!"

"My good niece, Uncle Si will make it up to you later!"

The stall owner was laughing lewdly. He carried me towards the parking lot.

His pick - up truck for loading goods was parked there. Once we got in the car, it would be his time to do whatever he wanted...

I was lying in the man's arms, filled with despair.

I never thought that after my grandfather and I had traveled all the way to Beijing to escape, we still couldn't avoid this kind of disaster!

If I had known... it would have been better to stay in northern Henan!

Just as I was filled with regret, I suddenly heard the stall owner let out a low exclamation, and his running body suddenly stopped.

I looked across through the body controlled by the lust demon.

Vaguely, there was a tall figure standing in the dark night.

"Who... who are you?!" The stall owner said angrily. "Don't meddle in other people's business!"

"Let her go."

The deep voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

My hands involuntarily wrapped around the stall owner's neck. The lust demon twisted its body and burrowed into his arms with a coquettish moan.

"We... we're husband and wife!"

Seeing how affectionate I was towards him, the stall owner immediately became more confident. He straightened his back and shouted at the dark shadow. "We're burning with passion and going to have sex. A good dog doesn't block the way. You'd better get out of here."

"Humph! Husband and wife?"

With a cold laugh, the dark shadow actually reached out and grabbed the stall owner's neck.

"Creak, creak."

A sound of bone friction that made one's teeth ache rang out. The stall owner's feet were already lifted off the ground. He struggled desperately to grab the dark shadow's arm, and I was "plop" thrown to the ground.

Looking up, dark clouds were surging, and a thin, blood - red crescent moon hung high in the sky.

In the dim moonlight, there was a handsome face like a ghost. His pupils were like blood, and black energy was surging on the arm that was holding the stall owner.

The vulgar man flailed his hands and feet. Strange "gurgling" sounds came from his throat. The vital energy lingering around his body actually gathered into thin threads like mercury and melted into the seemingly living black energy on the dark shadow's arm...
