My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 104 - 97: He’s Just Like Him

"Ah Fei, come here."

Li Changqing looked at Ah Fei.

Ah Fei: "???"

"You’re letting a dog come?" Li Jingsong only then noticed Ah Fei on the table, thinking Li Changqing was crazy to let a dog absorb the ghost poison for Li Hengsheng.

But when Li Jingsong took a closer look, he found something different about Ah Fei.

This is not an ordinary dog!

This is a Painting Soul!

Li Jingsong was once a Painting Saint expert and naturally understood Painting Souls, but calling it a Painting Soul seemed a bit off. The Painting Soul felt somewhat different from those he had seen before.

He couldn’t quite pinpoint what was different.

It seemed to contain more life force than a Painting Soul.

"Ah Fei, help out, and I’ll give you a bone with meat when we get back!" Li Changqing was indeed hesitant to try it himself, not really out of embarrassment. After all, a human life was at stake, and although his Divine Soul was strong, he was not a Martial Artist. He wasn’t sure if he could withstand the ghost poison if he absorbed it into his own body.

Everyone thought he was an expert, but he was still at the threshold of exploring his own abilities.

Would he just keel over if he absorbed it into his body?

So, he thought of letting Ah Fei do it.

Ah Fei’s cultivation was strong enough too, maybe it would work. Besides, Ah Fei wasn’t a real living being, so even if he absorbed the ghost poison, it should be fine.

"Pavilion Master Li, is this okay?" Xu Muhai also looked at Li Jingsong with surprise.

"Er." Li Jingsong nodded woodenly, thinking it was indeed feasible to let the Painting Soul try, and since the Painting Soul had no life of its own, it wouldn’t fear the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle’s poison.

It was indeed a good idea.

With Li Jingsong’s affirmation, Li Changqing began to explain to Ah Fei what needed to be done.

Although Ah Fei couldn’t speak, he could understand what Li Changqing was telling him.

Ah Fei wasn’t a picky dog and didn’t care about his first kiss. He leaped onto Li Hengsheng and focused on his mouth.

The others felt a bit awkward about what was about to happen.

"Master, I’m going out to get some air." Yang Tiantian turned her head and left.

Li Changqing silently closed his eyes.

Hengsheng, Dad is sorry, perhaps your first kiss will be gone, but don’t worry, Dad will keep today’s matter a secret.

No one present would dare spread this news; Dad would hunt them to the ends of the earth to silence them, guarding your reputation.

At this moment, Ah Fei howled and brought his mouth to Li Hengsheng’s mouth, spiritual power surging, and desperately sucked the ghost poison out of Li Hengsheng’s mouth.

The black ghost qi inside Li Hengsheng’s body looked as if it found a floodgate, rushing out speedily and being absorbed by Ah Fei.

"Luckily, it wasn’t a real kiss, just a touch. Ah Fei didn’t stick his tongue out. Kids, you’ve saved your first kiss." Seeing this, Li Changqing was somewhat relieved.

After quite some time, the ghost poison in Li Hengsheng’s body faded, and his previously darkened body returned to normal.

Ah Fei let out a belch, the ghost poison entering him seemed to cause no effect.

This further puzzled Li Jingsong about Ah Fei.

Even as a Painting Soul, being infected by such a large amount of poison from the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle should damage its spiritual power, yet Ah Fei seemed unaffected.

What was going on?

Could this really be just a Painting Soul?

Li Jingsong couldn’t have known that Ah Fei was a combination of a Painting Soul and a woodcarving, the only one throughout the history of Cangyuan Realm!

Especially since Ah Fei’s form was carved from Longevity Wood.

What of some mere ghost poison?

Li Hengsheng’s breathing stabilized, though he remained unconscious.

Li Jingsong approached to check, then smiled and said, "He’s fine, he just exhausted too much energy suppressing the ghost poison. Some rest and replenishment will suffice. The Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle in his body is still a problem, but we can remove it shortly."

"That’s great." Xu Muhai also breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Changqing, you can rest assured now."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master Li." Li Changqing’s heart finally calmed down. He glanced at Li Hengsheng and, seeing that there was no need to stay in the room further, felt at ease now that Li Hengsheng was okay.

He stepped outside for some fresh air.

His anxiety was finally settled.

Li Changqing leaped, landing on an old tree in the courtyard, leaning against its branch, gazing at the white clouds drifting across the blue sky in the distance.

At this moment, Li Changqing sensed the danger lurking in Cangyuan Realm, an issue he’d never truly acknowledged before.

Today, he almost lost his son.

It’s an experience Li Changqing never wishes to endure again.

"Senior Changqing, how’s little junior brother?" At this time, Yang Tiantian asked from below the tree.

"He’s okay now." Li Changqing looked down at Yang Tiantian.

"What’s your name?"

"Junior, Yang Tiantian," Yang Tiantian responded.

"Sweet, who poisoned Hengsheng?" Though Li Changqing’s tone was calm, Yang Tiantian could hear a cold, indescribable edge in his voice.

"I don’t know." Yang Tiantian explained in detail everything that happened today to Li Changqing.

"Illusion World?" Li Changqing gently frowned. "You entered the Illusion World, and you didn’t notice at all? I feel that your cultivation isn’t low. If they can cast an illusion that even you can’t see through, why bother with all this trouble? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just kill you two there directly?"

"I don’t know either; maybe it was an Illusion Array, or perhaps other means. But I didn’t protect my junior brother well. I’ll accept whatever punishment Master wants to give me later." Yang Tiantian said firmly.

"It’s not your fault; the Cangyuan Realm is too complicated," Li Changqing said plainly.

After speaking, Li Changqing slowly closed his eyes, pondering this matter, feeling it is closely related to the Ghost Race.

Because the Ghost-devouring Rhinoceros Beetle is something from the Cloud Wasteland and doesn’t exist on the Human Race side.

Most likely, it’s the Ghost Race’s conspiracy.

Li Changqing had once thought of ignoring any Ghost Race or Human Race wars, feeling these things had nothing to do with him.

He just wanted to live a simple life, if his son wanted to cultivate, he would accompany him; if his son didn’t want to cultivate, they could buy a piece of land, stay home, and farm.

Li Changqing would also be happy with such a life.

When the time comes, he’d find a wife for his son, have a grandson himself, enjoy family happiness, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

But today’s events made Li Changqing realize one thing: not seeking trouble does not mean trouble won’t find you.

You want to stay detached, be an ordinary person, but some people won’t let you be ordinary.

He really understood a line he saw in ancient costume dramas before.

He knew what it meant to be in the martial world unable to control oneself.

That’s probably what it means.

At this time, Li Jingsong also walked out from the house. He glanced around the courtyard but didn’t see anyone. However, when he looked at the ancient tree, he found Li Changqing resting against it.

At that moment, Li Jingsong was suddenly stunned.

"It seems..."

In a trance, Li Jingsong felt that Li Changqing’s figure leaning against the tree was especially like someone.

Like someone he was once very familiar with.

"What am I thinking?" Li Jingsong shook his head, smiled ruefully, as if mocking his ridiculous thoughts.

That person...

Isn’t he suppressed in that place?

Actually, Li Jingsong had the answer in his heart, but in a trance, he felt Li Changqing’s figure was somewhat like Monarch Yuehan.

And Li Jingsong knew long ago that Monarch Yuehan was suppressed by the Realm Master Cangyuan, guarded by numerous powerful beings, though alive or dead, it was impossible to appear here.

Originally Li Jingsong had many questions in his heart, especially wanting to ask Li Changqing if he had ever seen a dragon.

However, when he saw Li Changqing’s figure especially resembling Monarch Yuehan, Li Jingsong lost all desire to ask questions.

Li Jingsong did not greet Li Changqing and directly left Muhai Peak.

Li Hengsheng fell into a deep sleep, and Xu Muhai prepared some nourishing decoction for Li Hengsheng, and after feeding it to him, he came out to find Li Changqing.

Today’s events, Xu Muhai also heard from Yang Tiantian.

Xu Muhai, being an old hand, guessed probably what happened after hearing Yang Tiantian’s words.

"This matter is aimed at Hengsheng," Xu Muhai said solemnly. "Hengsheng recently stood out in the sect, topping the Mortal Realm ranking in Seventh Layer of Transcendent Realm, indeed drawing attention, which brought a fatal disaster, but whether it’s the forces behind the Ghost Race or the Longevity Sect, I can’t say."

"This matter could involve the Longevity Sect?" Li Changqing asked, surprised.

"Yes." Xu Muhai nodded. "I had Tiantian investigate who set this task in the Merit Hall; currently, no one knows, not even Shadow Peak who dispatched the task is aware of its existence. So it’s clear someone set up this trap, exploiting Hengsheng’s need to take on tasks."

"And someone who knows this for sure is an insider from our Mountain Ancient Land." Xu Muhai’s gaze was stern. "I had also learned from words of the Longevity Sect earlier that they have people even in Zhanhe Mansion, so they certainly have people infiltrating in our Mountain Ancient Land, and this must be the person who leaked the information."

"As for how Hengsheng and Tiantian both succumbed to the Illusion World, most likely they fell for a Pupil Technique."

"Pupil Technique?"

Li Changqing was stunned, what kind of Pupil Technique?

Sharingan?

There is such a thing as Pupil Technique?

"Yes, some people are born with extraordinary powers due to certain reasons, a very magical talent that’s extremely rare, but because of the powerful nature of this power, its usage is very limited," Xu Muhai explained. "I’ve heard of a Pupil Technique that can make someone unwittingly enter a Illusion World."

"It’s called Illusion World."

"The holder is a Cloud Wasteland Ghost Race. It is said this Pupil Technique can alter an entire area into an illusion according to one’s will, making anyone unknowingly fall into it, but the price is blindness for half a year after each usage."

"Is this person from the Longevity Sect?" Li Changqing asked.

"Not sure, we know too little about the Longevity Sect." Xu Muhai glanced at Li Changqing. "Once Hengsheng recovers, I’ll make a trip to Celestial Sea City to purchase intelligence, clear up this matter, and give Brother Changqing a clear account myself."

"Okay." Since Xu Muhai said so, Li Changqing had no more to say.

"However, with a Longevity Sect spy in Mountain Ancient Land, if they know Hengsheng isn’t dead, will they attempt a second time?" Li Changqing asked worriedly.

"They won’t." Xu Muhai shook his head. "The Longevity Sect is always careful. It’s not easy for them to insert a spy in Mountain Ancient Land and they won’t expose such a spy so easily. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths, even hiring a master with ’Illusion World’ to kill Hengsheng outside, so within Mountain Ancient Land, he is safe."

"I’ll pay more attention to Hengsheng’s safety in the future." Xu Muhai also realized the safety issues concerning Li Hengsheng.

In the Longevity Sect’s eyes, Li Hengsheng is a significant threat and a potential future powerhouse of the Human Race.

The assassination of promising Human Race individuals by the Ghost Race is a daily occurrence in Cangyuan Realm.

However, after risking once, it’s rare for a second attempt to be made.

Now Xu Muhai was only curious about who exactly was the hidden spy in Mountain Ancient Land?
