My Amazing WeChat is Connected to the Three Realms - Chapter 44
Liu Xinqing was fuming.
Early in the morning, she had come to return Lin Hai’s car, but every time she called, he hung up. Eventually, he didn’t even bother to answer. If she had known that Lin Hai had already blacklisted her number, she would have been even more furious.
“Little sister-in-law, you can’t just show up at my place yelling ‘pervert’ in the morning. People might think I did something to you,” Lin Hai said helplessly as he came downstairs.
“What do you mean ‘did something’? Dream on! Why did you hang up on me?”
“How was I supposed to know it was you? I thought it was a spam call,” Lin Hai shrugged.
“Ugh, as if I’d spam you! Here!” Liu Xinqing threw the car keys at Lin Hai and stormed off.
Watching her leave, Lin Hai felt like crying.
Why is it that other people’s sisters-in-law are all sweet, gentle, and easy to get along with, while mine is like a walking powder keg? This just doesn’t make sense.
Once again, Lin Hai was reminded of the importance of first impressions.
Not long after, Bald Qiang called to say he had been discharged from the hospital.
Lin Hai acknowledged it and hung up.
Damn, today I have to go to the Peng family’s place. The thought gave Lin Hai a headache.
He really didn’t want to face Han Xiuer, the female ghost.
But he didn’t dare not go.
After some thought, Lin Hai called Du Chun.
“Tell Peng Tao that I can treat his father, but my fee is 5 million!”
Since I have to go anyway, I might as well take advantage of the situation and squeeze the Peng family. Serves them right for looking down on me.
“Master, you agreed? Great, I’ll let Peng Tao know right away!”
Soon, Du Chun called back.
“Master, Peng Tao agreed. He said as long as you can cure his father, 5 million is no problem!”
Damn, that was quick!
Lin Hai slapped his thigh. Damn it, I should’ve asked for more!
“Alright, come with me!”
Lin Hai drove to the hospital to pick up Du Chun, only to find that Smith from the U.S. was also there.
“Master, Smith and I are old friends. He’s planning to stay in China for a few more days to catch up.”
“Hello, you’re Du Chun’s master?” Smith looked surprised.
“Don’t jump to conclusions. I haven’t agreed to that yet.”
“Oh, my God!” Smith couldn’t believe his ears.
“Alright, let’s go,” Lin Hai got into the car, feeling extremely annoyed.
Anyone forced to meet a ghost wouldn’t be in a good mood.
When they arrived at the Peng residence, Peng Tao was already waiting at the door.
As soon as Lin Hai got out of the car, Peng Tao hurried over.
“Lin Hai, are you confident you can cure my father?”
Lin Hai rolled his eyes. How the hell would I know? I haven’t even seen your father yet.
“Let me see the patient first.”
“Of course, please come in.” Peng Tao led Lin Hai, Du Chun, and Smith inside.
“Why are you here again?” A sharp voice rang out as soon as they entered.
Lin Hai didn’t need to look to know it was Peng Tao’s sister, Peng Xue.
Damn, I don’t want to be here either!
“If you don’t want to affect your father’s treatment, shut that idiot up!”
Lin Hai was in no mood to be polite.
“Who are you calling an idiot? How dare you act so arrogantly in our house! Do you believe—”
“Shut up!” Peng Tao glared at Peng Xue.
“Brother, how could you—”
“Shut up!” Peng Tao was really angry now. He had finally managed to get Lin Hai here, and his father’s treatment depended on him. Why was his sister being so unreasonable?
“Hmph!” Peng Xue turned and stormed into the inner room, slamming the door behind her.
Zhou Xiao, hearing the commotion, also came out. Seeing Lin Hai again, she frowned. Though she didn’t say anything, her disgust was evident.
“Fine, you old man!” Lin Hai was furious.
Not only was he being forced to deal with a ghost, but he also had to put up with their attitude. When had he ever been treated like this?
Damn it, I’ll find a way to teach them a lesson.
Entering the bedroom, Lin Hai saw Peng Tao’s father lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The old man, Peng Helin, had just turned 60, but the illness had aged him to look like he was in his 70s.
“Lin Hai, since the beginning of this year, my father has been suffering from intermittent paralysis. Sometimes he’s walking fine, then suddenly he falls to the ground, losing sensation in his left arm and leg. After a while, it comes back, but it keeps happening. He’s fallen so many times that he’s practically given up and just lies in bed now,” Peng Tao explained, looking helpless.
“That’s not even the worst part. The main issue is his mental state. He’s been getting worse day by day, as if he’s aged over a decade in a short time. He doesn’t eat, drink, or speak. These past few days, he’s been unconscious. I’m worried that if this continues…”
Losing sensation in the left arm and leg?
Lin Hai immediately thought of Han Xiuer.
Wasn’t she missing her left arm and leg?
“It seems Han Xiuer is definitely behind this,” Lin Hai thought.
“Correct, it’s my doing,” a voice echoed in Lin Hai’s mind.
“Huh?” Lin Hai was startled. He looked up and saw Han Xiuer floating into the room.
“Good, you kept your word,” Han Xiuer gave a rare smile.
But her smile, revealing her blood-red mouth and sinister teeth, sent a shiver down Lin Hai’s spine.
“Damn, stop smiling. It’s even scarier than when you don’t,” Lin Hai cursed inwardly.
“Fine, I’ll stop smiling,” Han Xiuer’s smile faded, and her expression turned neutral again.
“What the hell? How does she know what I’m thinking?” Lin Hai was baffled.
“This is telepathic communication. Don’t you understand?”
Damn, she really can read my thoughts!
Lin Hai felt utterly exposed. In front of this ghost, he had no secrets.
“What’s telepathic communication?”
“It’s communication through the mind, without the need for spoken words. Usually, those at the late Xiantian stage can do this.”
“Late Xiantian stage? I thought I was only at the early Xiantian stage?” Lin Hai was confused.
“It’s probably because of that peachwood sword around your neck. That sword contains immense power and has a strong restraining effect on spirits. Even I find it difficult to get close to you. But it seems to be sealed.”
Wow, Lin Hai’s eyes lit up!
So that old fraud, Master Zhang, wasn’t lying after all?
“Lin Hai, Lin Hai.”
Seeing Lin Hai staring blankly at the wall for a long time, Peng Tao reached out and touched him.
“Ah? Oh, you all wait outside for a bit. I need to examine the old man,” Lin Hai shooed them out.
“Alright, what do you need me to do?” Since they could communicate telepathically, Lin Hai didn’t bother speaking out loud.
“That can wait. First, reattach my arm and leg.”
Wait, what? Lin Hai was stunned.
Although his Medicine King inheritance did include techniques for reattaching limbs, that was for living humans. He had failed to learn the ghost-related chapters.
“That… that might be difficult.”
“It’s simple. Follow me to the garden in front of the villa, and you’ll see.”
Lin Hai opened the door and stepped out.
Peng Tao hurried over.
“Lin Hai, how’s my father?”
“Your father isn’t sick. Your house is haunted!”
“What?!” Peng Tao was dumbfounded.
“Nonsense! Stop spreading superstitious lies. You’re just a fraud. Get out of here!” Peng Xue stormed out again, glaring at Lin Hai.
Damn, no one believes the truth!
Lin Hai’s eyes narrowed. Alright, I’ve got an idea.
You look down on me? You think you’re better than me? Well, I’ll make sure you learn your lesson!
