Yan Rong’s gaze swept over their faces. “Right, I haven’t asked you guys yet. What’s going on with you two? Did your souls swap?”
“It’s a long story, I’ll explain it to you later. What did Master say specifically when he asked you to come back?” Qin Chu, wearing Ye Huohuo’s face, looked extremely serious.
Yan Rong also realized that things were not as simple as they seemed. She shook her head. “I didn’t see Master, nor did I receive a call from him. I only received an order talisman from Master. It just said one sentence: Return quickly to help Huohuo. I rushed back immediately. As soon as I got off the car, I came straight here without resting, and happened to encounter this.”
“How did you find this place? How did you know we were here?” Ye Huohuo asked quickly.
Yan Rong’s expression changed slightly, her eyes dodging. “Well, actually… actually…” As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Chu from the corner of her eye.
Qin Chu raised an eyebrow, clearly understanding her meaning. “That’s not important. We should focus on how to swap back now! We can’t stay like this! I’m not used to it, and…” He glanced at Li Mohan beside him. “If we don’t swap back, this guy will be even less comfortable!”
Ye Huohuo glanced at Li Mohan, pursed her lips, and they looked at each other, both instinctively looking away.
Lu Qing’s matter was considered concluded. The result was acceptable. Li Mohan had A Cheng escort Lu Dayong to the police station, while he took Ye Huohuo and the others back to his apartment.
By the time the group returned, it was already past three in the morning.
As soon as Qin Chu entered the house, he collapsed onto the sofa. “Oh, I say, Huohuo, your body is too heavy. I think Master should arrange some body refinement for you after a while. Let’s go on a fast for three months to cleanse the turbid energy in your body.”
Ye Huohuo was not to be outdone. “Your body is good, but you’re indulging in wine, women, and wealth all day. Look at that belly!” She said, patting her stomach.
As she patted, she suddenly felt the urge to go to the toilet, and her face turned red.
“Second Senior Brother, I… I need to go to the toilet!”
Qin Chu, Li Mohan: “No!”
Ye Huohuo’s face turned red to her ears. “I don’t want to either, but I can’t hold it. I’ve been holding it for a long time. If I don’t go soon, I’ll wet myself!” This was awkward. No matter what, she was a girl, and using this man’s body to pee was really…
Yan Rong was the most composed. “What’s the big deal? Who among us from the Xuanmen hasn’t handled corpses? Huohuo, just think of yourself as handling a corpse right now. Besides, the parts on Second Senior Brother aren’t particularly prominent…”
“Yan Rong, shut your mouth!” Qin Chu was truly angry. He flicked his finger and used a silencing spell, almost sealing Yan Rong’s mouth. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and used a fruit knife on the table to block her mouth. A golden light was refracted by the knife.
“Second Senior Brother, don’t be angry. I was just joking. Your parts are impressive, okay!” Yan Rong still looked fearless.
Ye Huohuo couldn’t hold it any longer. “No, I have to go to the bathroom!”
Saying that, she ran towards the shared bathroom. But as soon as her hand touched the doorknob, a small hand grasped it. “Uh, hold on a bit longer, we’ll swap back right away!” Qin Chu’s tone carried a hint of pleading.
Ye Huohuo didn’t want to either. She gritted her teeth. “Then hurry up. I don’t want to wet myself!”
“Yan Lao San, aren’t you going to help!”
Yan Rong sat on the sofa, took a bite of an apple, and said slowly, “I can help, but we’re family, so let’s be clear. You know my price for intervening. Considering we’re from the same master, it’s a flat rate of one million!”
Qin Chu gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth, “Deal!”
The next second, Yan Rong’s attitude changed by 180 degrees. “Since you’re paying, you’re clients. Clients are gods, and we can’t neglect them!” As she spoke, she helped the two of them to the sofa and, almost devoutly, took out a talisman from her bag.
“You’re not losing out. This is a Soul Transfer Talisman personally made by Master Hong Meng. I traded three of my peach wood swords that had been blessed for it.” Yan Rong said, grabbing empty air near their brows with both hands.
Ye Huohuo and Qin Chu instantly felt a dizzying sensation, followed by a flash of fire. They felt as if they were rising into the air. When they looked again, they were out of their bodies and floating in mid-air.
The talisman in Yan Rong’s hand was half-burnt. She chanted, “Dust to dust, earth to earth! Return to your respective places! Haste, as per the order…” A golden light flashed, and Qin Chu and Ye Huohuo’s souls surged towards their bodies.
Qin Chu quickly entered his body, but Ye Huohuo’s soul seemed to be blocked by something and couldn’t get in. Yan Rong’s expression changed. The playful look was gone. “What’s going on? Damn it, why has someone added a seal?”
Seeing that the talisman in her hand was about to burn out, but Ye Huohuo’s body’s spiritual acupoints were still sealed, she tried several incantations and hand seals but couldn’t break the seal. Yan Rong was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
“Is there anything I can do to help?” Seeing her like this, Li Mohan knew something had changed and quickly stepped forward to ask.
“What can you do? You don’t know…” Yan Rong was about to refuse, but her gaze fell upon a red flash on his wrist, and her eyes suddenly lit up. “You truly are Huohuo’s lucky star!”
Before Li Mohan could understand what was happening, he was ordered by Yan Rong to grasp Ye Huohuo’s right hand. The moment their hands touched, two red lights flashed from their wrists. Instantly, Ye Huohuo’s soul seemed to be sucked in, entering her own body.
The next second, Ye Huohuo opened her eyes and met a pair of concerned eyes.
“Huohuo?” Li Mohan asked tentatively. He was afraid that as soon as she spoke, it would still be Qin Chu. Ye Huohuo’s soul entry hadn’t been smooth, and she was a bit weak. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything, so she blinked in response. Li Mohan’s tense expression finally relaxed. In his excitement, he cupped Ye Huohuo’s small face and kissed her on the forehead. “Great! We’ve finally swapped back!”
“Oh my god! Where’s the toilet?” A voice that sounded like a wail came from the side, and a figure flashed like lightning into the bathroom. The gazes of several people fell upon the slight water stain left on the leather sofa.
Ye Huohuo and Yan Rong bit their lips, holding back for a long time, but finally couldn’t help but laugh. Li Mohan also shook his head and sighed for a long time.
After a long while, Qin Chu, with a ashen face and wearing Li Mohan’s pajamas, returned to the living room. The entire room was enveloped by his gloomy aura.
“Ye Huohuo, stay far away from me next time. If something like this happens again, I’ll strangle you first!” He said, looking at the bruises all over his body.
Ye Huohuo looked innocent. “Second Senior Brother, you can’t blame me. Who asked your body to be so large? It was really inconvenient for me to use, and regarding the toilet, you were the one who stopped me from going. It’s not my fault…”
“Shut up, did I mention the toilet?” The veins on Qin Chu’s forehead were bulging.
“Alright, can you two stop bickering and take a look at your young master? If it’s any later, it’ll be dawn, and he won’t be saved!”
