The original host went to the hospital to check on Xie Jiucheng and found that he was in a coma because two of his souls were missing.
She prepared herself and decided to go to the house in another mountain to help Xie Jiucheng summon his souls. This was something she was confident she could do.
Since summoning souls required someone close to Xie Jiucheng, Zhao Zhenzhen and Xie Jiucheng's father accompanied her.
The process went very smoothly. Xie Jiucheng's souls were merely wandering near the house. After completing the task, the original host prepared to retreat.
At this moment, a thick fog appeared. The original host tightly held their hands, telling them not to open their eyes and that no matter who called, they must not look back.
Zhao Zhenzhen kept hearing Xie Jiucheng's calls and cries. He accused her of abandoning him and asked why she was so heartless.
Finally, he asked her to stay with him, saying he was very lonely and missed her terribly.
Zhao Zhenzhen couldn't resist her "boyfriend's" pleas. She let go of the original host's hand, cried, opened her eyes, and rushed towards the female ghost.
As a result, the formation became unstable. The original host sacrificed herself to maintain the formation, offering her life to the female ghost, while Zhao Zhenzhen's life was saved.
The original host's death was gruesome. Xie's father had never witnessed such a scene. After he came to his senses, he called the police.
The police, realizing it was a special incident, reported it to their superiors, and a special task force was dispatched to handle it.
Finally, the two ghosts were eliminated by the special task force's artifacts, and Xie Jiucheng woke up to continue his loving relationship with Zhao Zhenzhen.
Xu Qiu'er, without the original host, was truly pitiable. Xie's father and mother were very grateful for the original host saving their son, so they adopted Xu Qiu'er and funded her education.
Materially, she was much better off than before, but Xu Qiu'er considered all of this as the price for her mother's death.
She would rather not have had an education, just wishing the original host was alive. The original host had taken the risk for her.
She remained trapped in her own world, not doing too well. The original host's wish was to take good care of Xu Qiu'er.
Shui Wa: "This Zhao Zhenzhen is too stingy. She asked the original host for help in a life-or-death situation and only gave her a cake? Tsk, tsk..."
Jun Jiuli: "The original host lived in the deep mountains. She thought the original host was unworldly, so she just tricked her."
"Sister Ying, sob, sob, I beg you. Jiucheng is still so young, I really don't want him to die."
"Oh? Then why did you insist on leading him to his death?"
Zhao Zhenzhen sobbed intermittently, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I just wanted to uncover the truth behind it."
"Didn't I warn you? Curiosity not only kills the cat but also kills people. You can leave. I won't help you. Even gods can't save those who court disaster."
"Please, just help me this one more time. Don't all cultivators have compassionate hearts and mercy for all living beings?
I promise I won't run around recklessly again. That's a human life. Sister Ying, as long as you are willing to save Jiucheng, I will do anything."
"Oh? And what can you do for me?"
"I... I..."
"You see, you're just saying that. If you were asked to give up what you own, you certainly wouldn't be willing. Go back."
"Sister Ying, I can give you money."
"Oh? How much can you give?"
"This..."
"If you can't make the decision, then have someone who can come and talk."
Zhao Zhenzhen was a little annoyed that this country bumpkin was embarrassing her. She secretly cursed Jun Jiuli as a hypocritical scoundrel who only cared about money.
"I'm sorry, I was too hasty and didn't discuss it with Jiucheng's family. Sister Ying, I'll call Jiucheng's parents right now. Could you please wait a moment?"
"Alright."
It was very awkward. Xie's father and mother had blocked her. After apologizing, Zhao Zhenzhen left in a hurry. If it got any darker, she wouldn't dare to leave.
"Mom, why is that sister here?"
"Asking me for a favor."
Xie Qiu'er's eyes sparkled, "Mom, you're amazing."
"My dear, you have sharp eyes. Capable people don't fare too badly wherever they go. Even these deep mountains can't hide my immortal talent."
"Wow, when I grow up, I want to be as amazing as you, Mom, and have people come to me asking for favors."
"Good, I'll teach you."
Shui Wa: "Host, why are you suddenly so cheesy?"
"Get lost."
If it's sent, why not eat it? Xie Zhenzhen was very stingy. The cake was only six inches, just enough for the mother and daughter to share.
"Mom, what is this? It's delicious."
"This is called cake. If you like it, Mom will buy it for you every day."
"It's better to eat it occasionally. If you eat it every day, it won't taste as good."
"Yes, you're right."
...
Zhao Zhenzhen walked down the mountain, drove back to the city quickly, and rushed to the hospital overnight.
"What are you still doing here? Haven't you harmed my son enough? Get out! Stay away from my son from now on, and don't let me see you again."
"Auntie, please don't be like this. I didn't do it on purpose either. I'm also a victim."
"Get out, I don't want to hear you say that."
"Sob, sob, Jiucheng is my boyfriend. I'm also very sad that he's like this. Auntie, please don't treat me like this, my heart also hurts."
Hearing this, Xie's mother became even angrier and wanted to rush over and tear Zhao Zhenzhen apart. Xie's father quickly stopped and comforted her.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't provoke my wife."
"Uncle, I didn't mean it. I just... I was just too worried about Jiucheng."
"Enough, Jiucheng can't hear you, so stop pretending. Get to the point, or don't blame me for having you thrown out."
Zhao Zhenzhen felt more and more wronged. She didn't want Xie Jiucheng to get hurt either. Why could they treat her like this?
She wiped away her tears and said with a choked voice, "I found someone who can save Jiucheng, but she has a rather eccentric personality and is a bit greedy.
I really want Jiucheng to wake up. Uncle and Auntie, can you accompany me tomorrow?"
Xie's father and mother exchanged glances. Even if she was a liar, they wanted to try. Their son lying there like this wasn't a solution.
It was normal for a master to have a temper, and greed, in their opinion, was a good thing. Otherwise, they wouldn't have a way to impress her.
"What time do we leave tomorrow? We'll all go. You drive ahead then."
"Okay, thank you for believing me."
She said, shedding tears, covering her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from crying, bowed, and walked out of the ward, looking back repeatedly.
Xie's mother looked down on her behavior, "So petty, why so much drama?"
"Your son likes this type..."
"Such poor taste."
