Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 272: Foreseeing the Future?

Chen Xiaobei was taken aback, "Really?"

Logically speaking, all the survivors here should have been sent away, how could there still be a child hiding in the bathroom?

But Yaoyao wasn’t lying. With a glance, Chen Xiaobei spotted a very clear small mark imprinted on Yaoyao’s rosy little bottom.

Chen Xiaobei was immediately displeased and strode into the bathroom.

But just as he yanked open the door, Chen Xiaobei was stunned.

The small compartment was empty, not even a single footprint.

Immediately after, Chen Xiaobei activated the Nine Nether Eyes, and sure enough, in a small corner of the compartment, a small mass of eerie energy caught his eye.

The mass of energy was about as tall as a small child, but it hadn’t formed hands or feet, slowly drifting in the corner without consciousness.

Previously, when Xi Yao was chatting with Chen Xiaobei, she mentioned that in places thick with resentment, it would condense into a malevolent energy, and after absorbing enough demonic energy, it would gradually evolve into a demon!

Demons have intelligence, can take human form, and can beguile people’s hearts, making them extremely fierce creatures!

Chen Xiaobei always thought Xi Yao was talking nonsense, but after he gained the ability to see ghosts with yellow eyes, he completely changed his mind.

However, the malevolent energy before him was far from reaching the level of a demon, let alone possessing its own intelligence.

Chen Xiaobei waved at Yaoyao, saying, "Yaoyao, don’t be afraid, come over here."

Yaoyao really didn’t want to come over, but she couldn’t disobey her master’s words, so she timidly walked over, grabbing Chen Xiaobei’s arm, pointing at the corner’s mass of malevolent energy, and said fearfully,

"Master, that’s the child, that’s who touched me!"

Seeing how vividly Yaoyao was describing it, Chen Xiaobei was completely confused and solemnly said, "Yaoyao, don’t lie to me, are you sure it’s a child?"

With her master by her side, Yaoyao wasn’t as afraid anymore and nodded obediently, saying, "Master, yes. It’s a very annoying little girl who even smiled at me."

"Oh my gosh!"

Chen Xiaobei’s scalp tingled a little.

He really couldn’t understand why in his eyes it was clearly just a mass of malevolent energy, but to Yaoyao, it appeared as a demon?

Could it be that this girl has precognitive abilities? Can she see through illusions to the truth of matters?

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Xiaobei felt this was a possibility!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei held Yaoyao’s small hand and asked, "Yaoyao, tell me in more detail, just now you insisted on staying by my side and said I would die, did you see something?"

"Master, I didn’t." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Yaoyao shook her head, worriedly saying, "I just had a really strong feeling that if my sister and I left you, something terrible would definitely happen to you, master, Yaoyao really isn’t lying to you."

The little girl’s eyes were glistening, clearly misunderstanding Chen Xiaobei’s thoughts.

It was obvious that Yaoyao didn’t understand what her ability was all about, so she couldn’t explain it.

Chen Xiaobei rubbed her little head, comforting her, "All right, I didn’t mean to doubt you. Honestly, meeting you guys might be the greatest luck of my life!"

With those words, Chen Xiaobei turned and struck the malevolent energy in the corner with a blast of True Qi.

The malevolent energy didn’t last even a second before being completely obliterated by the celestial energy.

At the same time, Chen Xiaobei came to a conclusion: not only can his True Qi kill people, but it can also exorcise ghosts!

But what effect it’ll have can only be determined through practice later.

Yaoyao’s little eyes nearly twinkled like stars, praising, "Master, you’re amazing! That little brat was beaten by you!"

"Sister, what did Master defeat?"

Qinqin poked her little head around the door, curiously peeking inside.

In the maid’s mind, the master’s command is absolute!

So since Chen Xiaobei hadn’t called her, Qinqin dared not go in, but her curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn’t help but ask.

By this time, Chen Xiaobei was already holding Yaoyao’s small hand and walking out. Since it wasn’t a big deal, he didn’t bother to explain much, casually saying, "Nothing, let’s go back."

But Qinqin thought Chen Xiaobei was angry at her!

Especially noticing that Chen Xiaobei hadn’t intended to hold her hand at all, Qinqin’s small heart truly panicked.

"Could it be that Master really only likes Sister and not me?"

"No way! I must try my best, can’t let Master look down on me, I must catch up with Sister."

Qinqin didn’t get discouraged, stomped her little foot, and chased after Chen Xiaobei.

Chen Xiaobei had no idea that one small gesture of his could lead to such a misunderstanding for Qinqin.

He merely felt that Yaoyao had been frightened and, being timid, deserved more care.

He never considered that a maid’s thoughts would differ from a normal girl’s, and that his neglect might one day nearly get Qinqin, such a lively girl, killed.

When he reached the main hall, Chen Xiaobei approached Zhong Wannian and asked, "So, any movement?"

"Still none!" Zhong Wannian said with a heavy expression, "Could it be that word got out? It’s already midnight, why haven’t they shown up yet."

As he spoke, a Security Department officer ran over excitedly, "Elder Zhong, there’s a situation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several strong beams of light shot through the windows of the hall.

Five black SUVs escorted a Rolls-Royce Phantom as they drove into the temple.

Then, a servant respectfully opened the door of the Rolls-Royce, and a Taoist priest in his fifties, accompanied by a young man, stepped out of the car.

Next, eight young Taoists also got out of the five SUVs one after another.

Although these Taoists wore Taoist robes and carried wooden swords, instead of having the appearance of celestial beings, they were full of malevolence, making it clear that they were not normal practitioners of Taoism.

Especially the old Taoist beside Mo Zifeng, Chen Xiaobei could even feel a strong True Qi fluctuation emanating from him.

As soon as the old Taoist appeared, Yaoyao started to shiver next to Chen Xiaobei, pointing at the old Taoist’s face through the window, "Master, that old Taoist is terrifying! The kids in the sky were all scared into tears after seeing him!"

The old Taoist stood just above the tower of the Leisure Pavilion, where the resentment was the heaviest!

Chen Xiaobei glanced over there, and sure enough, the resentment at the top of the tower was already churning, giving the impression of an impending storm.

Chen Xiaobei patted Yaoyao’s shoulder gently, saying, "Yaoyao, those children can’t hurt you, don’t be afraid!"

Turning his head, Chen Xiaobei called Zhong Wannian over, whispering, "Elder Zhong, inform the team outside, that old Taoist seems quite sinister. My suggestion is to take him down immediately, otherwise things might go awry."

Zhong Wannian furrowed his brows, nodding, "Okay, we’ll follow Doctor Chen’s advice!"

But just as he was about to order the snipers outside, the old Taoist laughed heartily and said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerate, friends in the hall, since you’ve been waiting for so long, why not come out and meet?"

With that, the old Taoist waved his hand forward, and the door, which was closed, suddenly flew open with a gust of malevolent wind.
