Chapter 106 A Smooth and Fluid Suppression
Upon hearing the knock on the door, Xiang Shang instinctively looked towards Chen Miao's location.

But at first glance, he couldn't find Chen Miao anywhere. Startled, he immediately stood up.

Then he saw Chen Miao, who was sitting right there, wave to him.

Only then did Xiang Shang breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiang Shang glanced at Chen Miao one last time, then carried the memorial tablet towards the door and opened it.

"Hello sir, here is your order."

Outside the door stood a young man in his early twenties, carrying a tray with lunch for three people.

"come in."

After opening the door, Xiang Shang took a few steps back, hiding the memorial tablet behind his back with one hand.

Not only him, but Gigi Lai also turned her body away and hid the memorial tablet.

Otherwise, if the waiter came in and saw a man and a woman each holding a memorial tablet in the dimly lit room, he would be lucky if he wasn't terrified.

When the waiter came in, he saw the dimly lit room.

He didn't think much of it. Some people just don't like sunlight. He'd seen it a lot. It's called a sense of atmosphere!
The waiter carried the tray inside and placed the meal on the coffee table in the living room.

Then he took out a green tag with a QR code on it from his pocket.

"Seventy-eight in total."

Xiang Shang took out his phone to scan the QR code and pay.

As the waiter held up the payment QR code, his gaze involuntarily swept past Xiang Shang and landed on the girl sitting not far behind them with her back to them.

The girl had a slender figure and long, smooth hair; you could tell she was a beauty without even looking at her face.

The waiter sighed inwardly.

If he had money, he could probably find a girlfriend this beautiful too.

"All right."

After Xiang Shang finished paying, he showed the payment information to the waiter.

The waiter nodded and turned to leave.

Throughout the process, he didn't glance at Chen Miao's location even once, as if there was no one there at all!

As soon as I opened the door, the waiter who had just left came back, holding something in his hand: "Sir, I've put your umbrella here for you."

"umbrella?"

Xiang Shang looked up in confusion.

The waiter walked in and placed the long-handled black umbrella he was carrying into the umbrella stand in the room.

"That's not our umbrella!"

Just as Xiang Shang finished speaking, and the waiter was still wondering what was going on, the black umbrella in his hand opened on its own.

Bang!
The sound of the umbrella opening rang out, and then, to the waiter's astonishment, a slender figure floated down from inside the umbrella and stood beside him.

In an instant, the temperature in the room dropped by more than ten degrees!
This scene not only stunned the waiter, but even Xiang Shang, who was prepared, still got goosebumps all over his body when he saw it!
For a moment, he even forgot what he was supposed to do.

Just then, as if sensing something, Gigi Lai turned around.

When she saw the figure drifting down from the umbrella, her eyes widened immediately, and she exclaimed, "Sun Yi!"

That one word, "Sun Yi," immediately made Sun Yi, whose eyes had no pupils but only whites, shift her head from Xiang Shang to Li Zi.

Then, Sun Yi smiled.

With a slight lift of her toes, Sun Yi floated towards Gigi Lai.

Xiang Shang was anxious and wanted to move, but for some reason, he couldn't control his body and could only watch helplessly as Sun Yi floated towards Li Zi.

Just then, Xiang Shang saw Chen Miao, who had seemed nonexistent until now, move!
Chen Miao rushed towards Sun Yi in two quick steps.

It was at this moment that Sun Yi seemed to realize there was another person in the room.

Turning around, Sun Yi saw Chen Miao standing nearby, and she also saw Chen Miao slam the memorial tablet in his hand directly at her feet!

In an instant, Sun Yi felt as if something was pressing down on her.

This discomfort caused her smiling face to instantly contort into a grimace.

With a piercing scream, Sun Yi charged towards Chen Miao. But before Sun Yi could react, Chen Miao had already retreated, leaving the area of ​​the spirit tablet's protective energy!

Seeing that Sun Yi had only moved forward less than half a meter as if blocked by an invisible wall, Chen Miao did not show a smile.

Eight incense sticks appeared in his hand and were lit.

At the same time, due to her anger, six vortexes of black mist appeared above Sun Yi's body.

After appearing, the four vortexes quickly transformed into four hideous human faces.

Four black breaths emerged from the mouths of the four faces and rushed towards Chen Miao, but were immediately blocked by an invisible wall.

The appearance of the black energy gave shape to the Soul-Suppressing Field.

In the blink of an eye, the black mist filled the half-ellipsoidal space centered on the spirit tablet, and Sun Yi's figure disappeared into the black mist.

Seeing this, Chen Miao shouted at Xiang Shang.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Shang still couldn't bring himself to take a step. He gritted his teeth and leaned his body forward.

Bang!
He fell to the ground, feeling completely disoriented, but he could move again!
He crawled forward a short distance and then threw the memorial tablet in his hand into the gradually expanding black ellipsoid.

With the arrival of the second memorial tablet, the expansion of the ellipsoid was pushed back down.

Seeing this, Xiang Shang didn't have time to say anything. Following Chen Miao's instructions, he ran directly to where Li Zi was, hugged her, and shared a memorial tablet with her.

Just then, Xiang Shang and Li Zi both heard a faint voice coming from Chen Miao.

Immediately afterwards, the smoke from eight incense sticks enveloped Chen Miao.

In an instant, the room was divided into two areas, one black and one white.

However, the white area moved very quickly.

The smoke, like a python, burrowed entirely into the black area, causing the black gas to surge and churn.

In an instant, the black faded and the white appeared.

Everyone could see what was happening inside.

The white smoke had split into four wisps, each entering one of the four faces.

As the smoke entered, the ferocity on the four faces formed from black mist gradually softened.

When less than 10% of the white smoke remained, all four faces broke into smiles, then vanished, transforming back into four black vortexes.

The remaining 10% of the white smoke went directly towards Sun Yi.

As the white smoke seeped in, Sun Yi's expression softened for a moment, but returned to normal once the white smoke dissipated.

However, at this point, she was no longer able to spew out black energy to contend with the spirit tablet that suppressed the soul.

Seeing this, Chen Miao did not do anything further to Sun Yi.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the Ghost Cube from his palm.

With a flick of his wrist, Ghost Cube transformed into an arc, shooting straight towards the black umbrella.

Just as Ghost Cube was about to collide with the black umbrella, a shadow rushed out from the black umbrella and headed straight for Xiang Shang and Li Zi.

As luck would have it, the shadow bumped right into the Ghost Cube.

Immediately, the shadow disappeared, and the Ghost Cube fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then stopped.

This scene unfolded so smoothly, as if it had been rehearsed beforehand.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the ghost cube on the ground, Chen Miao had already activated his hide-and-seek mode again and appeared behind the waiter holding the black umbrella.

With a flick of his wrist across the book, a talisman appeared in Chen Miao's hand.

It was one of the exquisite talismans Chen Miao had made using the materials he had exchanged earlier—the Spirit Suppression Talisman!

With blood smeared on it, Chen Miao placed the spirit-suppressing talisman on the back of the waiter's head. Just like iron encountering a magnet, the talisman was attracted to the back of the waiter's head.

The waiter rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Only a phantom figure with a spirit-suppressing talisman remained in the original spot!

Seeing this, Chen Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
