Fate is unpredictable, and Xiao Yefeng couldn't be certain. However, he estimated that the deaths of Xiao Lin's wife and mother had brought about a change in Xiao Lin's destiny. Yet, Xiao Yefeng didn't want to dwell on those past events.
From the perspective of Fate, it seemed that disaster was looming over Xiao Lin, likely due to this incident that could lead to a death filled with resentment. However, his appearance had caused a shift in Xiao Lin's Fate. Now that Xiao Yefeng had intervened, their destinies were intertwined, and from this moment on, Xiao Yefeng could no longer see the path of Xiao Lin's Fate.
At this moment, Xiao Lin finally felt fear. Grasping Xiao Yefeng's hand tightly, he pleaded, "Mr. Xiao, you have to help me! I—I don’t know what to do."
"Alright, since I've encountered this situation, I won't ignore you. Who is this woman? Where did you meet her? What has she done for you?" Xiao Yefeng shook off Xiao Lin's hand.
In truth, Xiao Yefeng understood that these matters were not entirely Xiao Lin's fault. After all, Xiao Lin was a normal man whose wife had passed away. Being wealthy and influential at fifty-six years old, it was quite normal for a handsome man like him to attract women who loved money and status. As Xiao Lin had just mentioned, men have their needs; it was unavoidable.
However, when someone used such methods to harm others, Xiao Yefeng could not turn a blind eye. Following this, Xiao Lin recounted everything. After hearing his story, Xiao Yefeng realized there was indeed a problem—much like Xu Zhe from Wankang Pharmaceuticals. Although Liu Yiyi had yet to deal with him, Xu Zhe's betrayal was already evident. The woman named Bai Rui seemed to be similar to Xu Zhe.
At another exhibition, Xiao Lin met Bai Rui, who appeared to be an unexpected visitor but was actually deliberately arranged by someone. As a prominent entrepreneur, Xiao Lin naturally introduced his products at the exhibition. Bai Rui was a reporter from a media outlet and conducted an exclusive interview with him afterward. Despite having seen various women before, the young and beautiful Bai Rui—with her alluring figure and vibrant personality—captivated him.
The subsequent events followed a clichéd pattern; the hero saving the damsel in distress was a trope that had become commonplace in modern times. Yet it was through this well-worn script that they became acquainted again. Enchanted by Bai Rui, Xiao Lin invited her out for dinner. As they spent more time together, they ended up in a relationship. Bai Rui quit her job to become Xiao Lin’s secretary, and they traveled together extensively.
However, Xiao Lin had not considered the gradual decline of his business until now when Xiao Yefeng laid everything bare before him. He realized that their fates were interconnected; although they lacked the title of husband and wife, they shared a bond akin to one.
Bai Rui was an ordinary woman who loved money but was cursed—anyone who engaged with her would have their fortune siphoned away by this curse. As for who cast this spell on her, Xiao Yefeng couldn't ascertain; he could only investigate further. One thing he understood was that the person stealing Bai Rui’s fortune must also be a man; she had become merely a tool for one man to steal fortune from another.
Bai Rui might not even realize she was being used. Once everything was clarified, although furious at the revelation, Xiao Lin didn’t let his anger overwhelm him. He simply instructed Li Chengjun to send someone to follow Bai Rui and document whom she met with before dropping the topic.
Time passed slowly until night fell. During this time, Xiao Lin discovered Zitong; despite being in his fifties, he had a fondness for candy. This explained how quickly Bai Rui managed to find candy with just one call from him. Looking at the pile of candies on the table, he picked one up and put it in his mouth but spat it out immediately—just like Xiao Yefeng had done.
Anything consumed by ghosts loses its flavor; it felt like chewing wax. In response to this realization, Xiao Yefeng decided it was time for Zitong to make an appearance. Even without this incident occurring first, he intended for them to meet eventually since Zitong needed to show up tonight as well—better to avoid scaring Xiao Lin later on.
When he closed his eyes and opened them again, he found a pale-faced child sitting at his desk. Just as Xiao Yefeng had guessed, the first sight of the ghost nearly scared Xiao Lin to death, especially when Zitong floated up and hovered in front of him.
With the realization that there was a ghost nearby, any lingering sleepiness vanished from Xiao Lin. This was actually one of the methods Xiao Lin had developed to combat the female ghost in his dreams. Indeed, upon waking, Xiao Lin regretted his actions in the dream. He knew that after being seduced by the female ghost, his body would feel a bit weaker. However, he couldn't resist falling asleep again, and the situation repeated itself.
This time, under Xiao Yefeng's watchful eye, Xiao Lin found it impossible to sleep. Although Zitong had disappeared, he could still see her with his eyes closed. The thought of that female ghost lingered in his mind. Time was not on his side; noticing that Xiao Lin was wide awake, Xiao Yefeng had no choice but to take stronger measures. He unleashed the Intercepting Finger technique, channeling spiritual energy into his fingertip and pressing it against Xiao Lin's neck.
In an instant, Xiao Lin fell into a deep slumber. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng arranged three swords of different materials at the head of the bed, inserting the Copper Coin Sword at the top corner and placing a wooden sword and a steel sword at the foot of the bed. Finally, he positioned a three-foot-long Peach Wood Axe vertically from the ceiling, its blade aimed directly at Xiao Lin's forehead. This was a variation of the Three Talismans Formation—three swords suppressing Eerie Energy while one axe secured the central area. Since the female ghost chose to steal Yang energy through dreams, Xiao Yefeng was prepared to engage her in a battle of spells.
The method of stealing Yang energy through dreams was one that female ghosts resorted to out of fear of being harmed by a Sorcerer's feng shui array. However, this tactic had its pros and cons; while it provided safety, it also had clear drawbacks. If a Sorcerer skilled in this dream-stealing technique were present to break it apart, everything could turn upside down.
Xiao Yefeng used three feng shui swords to bind Xiao Lin's three souls while the wooden axe restrained his Yang energy, locking away any power that might leak out. The triangular arrangement of swords created an opening—a trap that invited danger while appearing to offer an escape.
Once everything was set up, Xiao Yefeng pulled out the Black Gold Spirit Banner and drew a line across its surface. Zitong emerged from it as he declared, "Alright, I've scared you enough and fed you well; now it's time to get to work!"
"Big brother! I feel like this man isn't a good person; maybe we shouldn't save him!" Zitong tilted her head as she looked at Xiao Lin.
"Tch! Zitong, you don't understand; right or wrong is something only children consider. In the adult world, we only look at benefits and drawbacks. For merchants like this one, who can claim their hands are clean? Just like me—do you know how much Yin Sin I have?" Xiao Yefeng replied.
"Um... never mind then; I don't really get it. But I know you're a good person; at least I think you are!" After pondering for a moment without reaching a conclusion, Zitong decided to let it go.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng sat above Xiao Lin—right where the Copper Coin Sword was positioned. Having retrieved his equipment long ago, he was ready for everything. Holding the Bagua Mirror in hand, he reached behind it to flick the Yin-Yang Fish. A series of clicking sounds echoed as Zitong wielded her Bright Silver Spear and instantly plunged it into Xiao Lin's forehead through the Bagua Mirror. Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng closed his eyes while holding the Bagua Mirror.
"Dream Entry Spell!" he suddenly whispered softly before freezing in place like a statue, sitting cross-legged on the ground without moving an inch.
Xiao Yefeng opened his eyes once more, finding himself in a sea of flowers. However, amidst the blossoms, a black line guided him—this was the path left for him by Zitong; without it, he would have surely lost himself in Xiao Lin's dream.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng was also in a dream state, yet it was within Xiao Lin's dream. Following the path left by Zitong, he traversed the flower field and soon arrived at a grove of trees. Before long, he spotted Zitong waving at him from beneath the shade of a tree. As Xiao Yefeng approached Zitong, he overheard a conversation between a man and a woman.
At that moment, Xiao Lin said, "Hua Qian, don't think you can seduce me today. If you know what's good for you, get lost!"
"Yo yo yo! Brother! Why are you so angry today? It seems like you need your little sister to cool you down!" came the teasing voice followed by the sound of rustling footsteps.
Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but admire the strength of this female ghost; she had managed to act as soon as Xiao Lin fell asleep. It seemed that the sorcerer behind this ghost was not simple at all! The name Hua Qian clearly belonged to this female ghost, and from that name, Xiao Yefeng understood that the sorcerer behind her must be Yang Xing.
"Don't come over! Mr. Xiao, help me!" At that moment, Xiao Lin was running around in disarray, barely clothed. Just as those words escaped her lips, she tripped over a branch and fell. Hua Qian elegantly waved her delicate fingers, and countless vines ensnared Xiao Lin's limbs.
"Brother, today is the best day; are you really going to abandon me?" Hua Qian floated before the bound Xiao Lin. With a flick of her sheer white dress, two streams of eerie energy entered Xiao Lin's nostrils. Instantly, her struggling body softened; however, under Hua Qian's seduction, Xiao Lin was ablaze with desire.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng realized that Hua Qian intended to take a life! With a sharp gaze at Zitong, she immediately took flight. Just as Hua Qian opened her mouth to kiss Xiao Lin and absorb her vitality, her cherry lips met the cold muzzle of a gun.
"Who are you?" Hua Qian froze for a moment before swiftly retreating her gaze forward!
Before Xiao Lin stood a child clad in shining silver armor, holding a Silver Gun and glaring fiercely at her. This was Zitong's transformation; normally just a playful child who loved to eat candy and have fun, once battle commenced, Zitong became an entirely different person. Except for Xiao Yefeng, no one else would receive any kindness from him; he only listened to Xiao Yefeng's commands, though the reason for this remained unclear to him.
