Chapter 709: Habaek’s “Bride”
It is obvious at first glance that the house shrouded in dark clouds is not a good place.
But in the eyes of the young Taoist priest with a strong sense of justice, it is a place that must be visited.
Ling Heng stared at the house with a serious expression, and after a while he turned around to look at Shi Li.
"Follow me for a while, don't wander around randomly."
He remembered that he was not alone now, and there was a frail girl following him.
Shi Li nodded obediently.
Anyway, she is not really weak. It's just a weird house, nothing to be afraid of.
The two of them walked to the front door of the house together, and Ling Heng went straight forward and knocked on the door.
A strong servant came out to respond.
After seeing Ling Heng, his eyes paused on the runes on his sleeves for a moment, with a strange expression, "This gentleman..."
"I just approached your house and found that it was not peaceful. Is the owner here?"
Ling Heng said it very directly, without any euphemism or probing.
Shi Li silently covered her face behind him, ready to be chased away as a liar.
Who would have thought that after hearing what Ling Heng said, the servant not only did not treat him as a liar, but instead took a step back excitedly, with an expression that could be described as extremely respectful.
"Wait a moment sir, I'll go tell my master!"
The servant's attitude once again proved that there was indeed something strange in the house.
Shi Li pinched her fingers and felt a little hairy.
He Bo was certainly not afraid of ghosts and monsters, but she was just an ordinary human at heart. As soon as she approached the house, she felt a chill going up from the soles of her feet.
The servant moved quickly, and Shi Li and Ling Heng only waited at the door for a while before they saw him come back.
"Please come in, my master is waiting for you." The servant bowed slightly as he spoke, his attitude even more respectful than before.
Shi Li followed Ling Heng into this strange mansion.
The servant took them to the magnificent hall and met the owner of the mansion.
An elegant middle-aged man and a beautiful wife who is much younger than him.
The two men were dressed respectably and luxuriously, but their faces looked somewhat ugly.
Especially the young lady, her belly was bulging, she had been pregnant for a long time, but her face was pale and haggard, which made people feel pity for her.
"Sir, can you see the strangeness of my house?"
Upon seeing Ling Heng, the male host immediately stood up excitedly and took two steps forward.
Ling Heng was not like those swindlers who pretended to be mysterious. He answered directly: "There may be something unclean in the mansion."
These words made the young lady sitting next to her look even paler, and her frail body began to shake.
The male host reached out his hand to support his wife with concern, and looked at Ling Heng with a pleading look, "Please help me, sir."
Afterwards, the male host, with a helpless look on his face, recounted the strange things that had happened in the mansion in the past few days.
The first strange thing was that the flowers in the back garden withered overnight.
They were clearly in full bloom the day before, but after one night, they all withered. Even the petals that fell on the ground seemed to have been destroyed and drained of their vitality by something.
In the following days, the weak pregnant lady began to suffer from nightmares every night.
The most serious incident was when she directly strangled her own neck. If the male owner had not discovered it in time, she would have almost strangled herself to death.
Yesterday, two maids saw a ghost moving in the rockery in the garden in broad daylight.
For a moment, the whole mansion was in panic.
The male owner originally wanted to go out and seek advice from an expert, but unexpectedly, by chance, Ling Heng came to him on his own initiative.
After hearing these things, Ling Heng slowly looked around the hall.
It was noon and everything around was normal, with nothing unusual to be seen.
Remembering that the male owner had said that the back garden was where the strange things first happened, Ling Heng asked to go over and take a look.
After Shi Li came in, she had been standing obediently by the side, and now she followed silently.
Seeing her following, Ling Heng hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered again -
"Follow closely."
Shi Li lowered her eyes and nodded, but what she was thinking in her heart was that Ling Heng was truly a good boy with a cold exterior but a warm heart.
