Chapter 1988 - 1986: Found Her
Chapter 1988: Chapter 1986: Found Her
The old spirit was indifferent; he had no memory, didn’t know his past, so naturally didn’t know where he came from or why he formed a spirit body. He didn’t care about any of this—if it’s gone, then it’s gone.
But the old black cat couldn’t let it go, and it was worried because if Lin Qinghuan absorbed the old spirit’s aura, she would become even more powerful.
And having fought her before, naturally, he would be targeted for revenge by her.
Instinctively, the old black cat felt that a spirit like Lin Qinghuan shouldn’t be allowed to grow stronger, otherwise the slightly intelligent animal and plant spirits like them might suffer.
So the old black cat waited obediently by the roadside for Gu Qiaoqiao to come.
Because it knew that perhaps only this little fairy could eliminate that evil spirit.
Yet it also worried that Gu Qiaoqiao might not keep her word, and if she didn’t come, they truly had no way out.
Earlier, it hadn’t dared to follow, so naturally didn’t know where Gu Qiaoqiao lived.
It paced back and forth by the roadside, occasionally sprinting away like a wisp of smoke from people seemingly interested in it, making it difficult for them to catch.
If it were any other color of kitten, maybe people would like it, but being entirely black, especially in the darkness, gave it an eerie feeling.
So as night deepened, when it squatted by the roadside, no one bothered it, and by this time, pedestrians and cars became fewer and fewer.
When there were almost no pedestrians left, a car drove from afar and stopped in front of the old black cat. It saw Gu Qiaoqiao again, and the small white cat perched on the passenger seat, looking down on it with a lofty attitude.
That powerful suppression from the bloodline made it tremble again. Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at the arrogant little white cat and smiled, saying, "You rest at the back; we’ll head to the place you mentioned now."
Then she opened the back door. The old black cat hesitated for a moment before jumping in. Gu Qiaoqiao started the car and sped towards the direction of the West City District.
The Qin Family Old Residence is located in the West City District.
When she had just returned to life, she stayed here for a while, and she had plenty of small companions from the West City District to play with.
At that time, Chu Chengfeng hadn’t awakened yet and was still the typical spoiled child. But he’s about to become a father now.
Even Du Tian’s son was running around everywhere, soon about to start kindergarten.
Time flies so quickly, just like sand slipping through the fingers.
Nowadays, it’s Shen Manru and Qin Xuan living in the Qin Family Old Residence.
Grandma Qin often helped look after the kids at the Qin Family’s Courtyard, and since Qin Xiaoyu joined the student council, she became especially busy, sometimes not returning on weekends, making the old residence quite deserted now.
Thankfully, it’s close to the Qin Family’s Courtyard, so Qin Xuan and his wife come early to see their children on weekends.
So it’s not too lonely.
However, as Gu Qiaoqiao passed by the entrance earlier, she noticed only a lamp was lit in the study, likely Qin Yize’s father reading or appreciating calligraphy or paintings.
Gu Qiaoqiao continued driving forward, stopping in front of a building a few minutes later.
The city is currently under construction, with old and new changing constantly. For instance, the building in front of them has a history of over twenty years.
When spring arrives, this building will be torn down; at this time, its residents have all moved out.
So it’s pitch-dark here, with only streetlights casting a faint yellow glow.
Underneath such old buildings are usually small underground rooms or air raid shelters. Now that no one lives upstairs, the underground is even more deserted, making the atmosphere quite eerie.
The old black cat pointed with its cat paw at the crossroads ahead, telling Gu Qiaoqiao that the evil spirit capable of devouring spirits was in there.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s Heaven-reaching Talisman was already active, so she had long noticed abnormalities in the underground space.
She parked the car on the other side, then got out, followed by two cats, one black and one white.
Strangely, the white cat seemed to be inconspicuous in the night.
Of course, the black cat was even less noticeable, merging into the night itself.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced with some surprise at Xiaobai and asked in her thoughts, "Did you conceal your appearance?"
The little white cat responded proudly, "My innate ability includes hiding abilities; otherwise, the evil spirit will notice first and get scared away. Wouldn’t we have come for nothing then?"
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement; this ability was indeed impressive.
Her walking speed seemed normal, but was actually very fast.
Though the surroundings were quiet, she still cast the Invisibility Charm on herself.
After all, on such a night, in the soon-to-be-demolished old building open space, a young and beautiful woman walking alone would surely appear eerie, and it might attract unwanted attention; Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want any trouble tonight as she aimed to deal with Lin Qinghuan.
She soon reached the entrance of the underground room.
The atmosphere here made Gu Qiaoqiao frown; perhaps because Lin Qinghuan had devoured some spirit bodies in the past few days, the aura was malicious toward her.
It seemed that Lin Qinghuan, upon growing stronger, aimed to devour her first.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the entrance of the underground room and couldn’t help but look up at the dark sky, which at the moment seemed to envelop the entire earth like ink.
Tonight, there was no moon, no starlight; the sky was dark and heavy, as if it would engulf everyone at any moment.
Gu Qiaoqiao smirked and continued forward.
This time she came, determined to wipe out Lin Qinghuan, so naturally had no intention of concealing her presence.
The underground room had about a dozen steps; after descending the stairs and walking several dozen meters, she opened the door to a space filled with random items left behind by the owner, which has become essentially a worthless place even abandoned by scavengers.
Awaiting demolition, everything here will be cleared.
Here, naturally, water and power have been cut off; Gu Qiaoqiao waved her fingers, and several spheres of spiritual energy formed, lighting up a dozen meters ahead.
They saw Lin Qinghuan’s eyes widen suddenly; she didn’t expect Gu Qiaoqiao to dare come alone.
And nearby, two faint gray spirits had evidently been mostly devoured by Lin Qinghuan.
