Yun Qishen

Chapter 2282 Cold Body
As darkness fell, this eventful day was finally coming to an end.

The blue demon suddenly looked up and felt a faint, familiar demonic power appear at the doorway.

It looks like he's back.

He was referring to only one person, namely Mo Langqin, who left in the evening.

"Mo Langqin!" Yan Cang sat up abruptly from the bed, jumped off, and ran straight to the door.

The door to the room was gently pushed open, making a long, grating creak. Mo Langqin leaned against the door frame, his body hunched over, his head drooping with his head half-raised.

"..." He exhaled cold air, the white mist clearly visible, "Yan Cang..."

As soon as Yan Cang stepped forward to help him, he stumbled and fell forward, landing right in front of Yan Cang's petite frame.

[The ghostly power within him is very weak.] The Green Ghost frowned. At this moment, he could feel that the remaining ghostly power within Mo Langqin's body was gradually dissipating with Mo Langqin's breathing.

"Mo Langqin!" Yan Cang panicked even more after hearing Qing Gui's words. She hugged Mo Langqin and felt his body temperature. "His body is so cold!"

It's like a glacier.

Let's help him lie down first.

Qing Gui helped Yan Cang carry Mo Langqin to the bed, and Yan Cang also took out the thickest quilt from Mo Langqin's storage ring and covered him with it.

"I'm sorry..." Mo Langqin kept exhaling cold air with his eyes closed. His eyes, which were already red and purple, were still soaked with tears, which spilled down his cheeks and onto the pillow.

"I'm sorry, I can't do anything... I'm sorry... Waaah..."

Mo Langqin sobbed softly, and with each painful cry, his breath grew colder.

Yan Cang raised his hand and touched Mo Langqin's forehead, which was burning hot, a stark contrast to his body.

Yan Cang's hands and feet trembled with panic. He touched Mo Langqin's cheek, trying to stop her from continuing to speak. "Mo Langqin, you still have me. I'll stay with you. Don't say anymore, just rest. Don't say anything more!"

“Mother…” Mo Langqin opened his eyes with difficulty, but his gaze did not focus on Yan Cang; he only saw a blurry shadow.

Yan Cang remained silent. She was thinking that if she were still using the body of a ghost beast, she would definitely transform into Mo Tianlan and stay with Mo Langqin. But now she was powerless to do so.

"I'm sorry..." Mo Langqin uttered painfully, her breathing growing longer and weaker, "Mother, I'm sorry..."

Yan Cang pursed her lips, then released Mo Langqin's face and rushed out of the room.

-

Mo He toyed with a long sword with a green blade in his hand as he strolled along the bamboo path in front of the Mo family's courtyard. His beard was swayed, and he looked to be in a great mood.

"Hahaha."

As night deepened, Mo Wangchuan and Mo Li left the Elders' Council. They happened to pass through the bamboo path together with the messenger disciple carrying a lantern.

Mo Wangchuan stopped in his tracks after hearing Mo He's laughter and came face to face with Mo He as he walked over. "He'er, you seem to be in a good mood."

"Father." Mo He bowed respectfully to Mo Wangchuan after sheathing his sword. Although his expression became serious, he still did not hide the smile on his lips.

"What good news is it? Don't you want to share it with this old man?" Mo Wangchuan smiled kindly, his eyes narrowed.

Mo He didn't speak, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifting towards the messenger disciple and Mo Li. "Grandpa, I'll go back to visit Mo Ruo first." Mo Li tugged at the messenger disciple's sleeve, and the messenger disciple raised his lantern to shine forward, then turned to look at Mo Wangchuan.

"Alright, you can go back first." Mo Wangchuan spoke, and the messenger disciple then helped Mo Li continue walking forward along the path.

After Mo Li and the others had left, Mo He commanded his ghost beasts to light ghost fires beside him. He moved closer to Mo Wangchuan and, as usual, supported him. "Father, I have found the whereabouts of that Ghost-Suppressing Stone!"

Mo Wangchuan half-opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. "This is truly wonderful news. He'er, where did you hear this from?"

"That's the kind of father he is..."

Mo He told Mo Wangchuan everything that had happened in the library, without hiding any details.

Mo He forced Mo Langqin to personally kill his parents, and he also absorbed all the ghostly power he had given Mo Langqin back.

"Ah, truly dearest and most beloved." Mo Wangchuan almost choked out his sigh when he heard about Mo Tianlan and the ghost beast Man Shu. But he quickly regained his kind and loving demeanor and smiled at Mo He, saying, "Since it was you, He'er, who discovered the clue, then you shall go and find the Ghost-Suppressing Stone. Half a year should be enough time for you to find it."

"That's enough, Father!" Mo He was extremely excited, after all, this was his chance to make a name for himself in front of Mo Wangchuan.

Mo Wangchuan placed high hopes on his son Mo He, not because Mo He was particularly strong, but because he was obedient and loyal enough.

Mo Wangchuan walked with Mo He toward his residence. Suddenly, he remembered something and spoke up, "By the way, He'er."

“You said, Father.”

"Keep a close eye on Mo Li's movements. After the Ghost-Suppressing Stone, it will be his and Mo Ruo's turn. We can't afford any more mistakes."

Mo He nodded, "Yes, Father."

-

The messenger quickly left after escorting Mo Li to his room.

Mo Li looked at the lights that had come on inside the room, stood still for a moment, and then pushed open the door.

Before Mo Li could speak, Mo Ruo, sitting on the bed with her arms crossed, called out to him, "Brother Mo Li!"

"..." Mo Li remained silent, simply following the ghost beasts he had summoned as they approached Mo Ruo.

"Brother!" Mo Ruo called out again.

Mo Li remained silent.

Mo Ruo took a deep breath and put his crossed arms down at his sides. "Brother Mo Li, don't stay silent! Why did you knock me out? It was just a trip to the Elders' Council, why did you treat me like this! All this time, even the ghost beasts couldn't sense your presence, which made me quite worried."

Mo Li looked up and met Mo Ruo's puffed-up face. His expression was calm, but he felt very relieved. "The elders have opened the barrier to block the ghost power of the Elder Council. It's normal that you can't detect my ghost power aura."

“Your injury hasn’t healed yet, so don’t go next time I go. Besides, can’t you talk to me about this kind of thing properly?” Mo Ruo stood up and grabbed Mo Li’s arm.

Mo Li subconsciously patted Mo Ruo's hand gently. "Mo Ruo, you are my own brother. I don't want to see you get hurt. It's not just this time I'm going. If the elders come looking for you again in a few days, I will still go. Don't go there. Listen to me, stay in this room and don't go anywhere."

Mo Ruo pursed his lips. He knew that it would be useless for him to say anything at this time. He thought that he might as well take the initiative and knock Mo Li unconscious when the elders came next time.

"Also, go check on Lang Qin later. When I came back, I sensed a lot of Lang Qin's ghostly power on Third Uncle. Third Uncle may have absorbed the ghostly power he previously transferred to Lang Qin back."

Mo Li's sudden words made Mo Ruo's eyes widen immediately. "Ah? It's all been sucked back in!! What is Uncle San doing? He's going to kill Mo Laoqi like this!"
