Chapter 23: Lunar Eclipse

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“There seems to be an eclipse today.”

“A Taurus lunar eclipse, or a blood moon,” Qi Ying said lightly.

“Really? Blood Moon? That’s amazing! So are you going to perform some ritual while the blood moon is still there?” Cui Yu asked curiously.

Qi Ying shook her head. During the lunar eclipse, evil spirits were at their strongest.

This person who had signed a contract with an unknown person was powerful. The evil spirit he summoned must not be easy to get rid of.

If the evil spirit was weaker when she called back Yan Huai’s soul, it was very likely to force Yan Huai’s soul out of his body again when it became stronger.

When the evil spirit was powerful and it was expelled or souls were exchanged, the evil spirit would be afraid.

If there was a chance, she could take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the evil spirit and prevent future troubles.

“A blood moon and a lunar eclipse together isn’t auspicious. It’s not suitable for making wishes. Instead, it might cause something bad to happen because it conflicts with your constellation.”

After Cui Yu heard this, he suddenly coughed.

Qi Ying looked at him in confusion.

“No wonder I choked while eating.”

Qi Ying looked at him helplessly. “That’s not how you use the astrological divination results.”

Cui Yu chuckled.

After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at the Yan family’s villa again.

It was already half past seven in the evening. The moon had already risen into the night sky, and the bright moonlight dyed the ground.

Cui Yu glanced at the moon. Although it was no different from usual, he couldn’t help but shiver when he thought of what Qi Ying had just said.

He quickly followed Qi Ying into the house.

Yan Huai’s room had already been arranged according to Qi Ying’s request. Red candles were placed in every corner and the obsidian array of the pentagram was placed on the ground.

Qi Ying walked over and looked at Yan Huai who was lying on the bed.

The man lying on the bed had delicate features, but his entire body exuded an evil aura.

As expected, the evil spirit had also sensed his existence and was stirring.

She took out the tools she had prepared. Some herbs, a wooden cross, a small bottle of absinthe.

She placed the four items that represented Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire on the ground.

Everyone from the Yan family stood at the door and looked at the dark room.

The window was open, and the moonlight shone into the room.

Qi Ying lit a candle by the bed and sat in the center of the pentagram. She seemed to be… resting with her eyes closed?

“Why is she resting with her eyes closed? Is she waiting for something?” Cui Yu asked Yan Mo quietly.

Yan Mo frowned and covered his son’s mouth.

Cui Yu, this child, just talked too much. He kept talking when he shouldn’t.

Everyone held their breath and looked into the room. The bright moonlight outlined Qi Ying’s figure. Under the moonlight, she looked like a holy nun.

Ten minutes passed, but nothing changed in the room. The candles burned quietly.

Everyone became even more nervous. Their clenched fists were covered in a thin layer of sweat. Yan Mo was too nervous. His body had been tense, and his legs were cramping from standing.

After another five minutes, the red candle in front of Qi Ying burned out and suddenly extinguished.

The moonlight outside suddenly disappeared, replaced by red moonlight, illuminating the room like a battlefield.

The Yan family almost screamed.

What was going on!

Qi Ying stood up. In the darkness, her slightly green eyes shone.

She walked towards the bed.

The black cross was placed on Yan Huai’s body.

Qi Ying began to chant in a language that no one present could understand.

Such a rhythm actually made people feel a trace of peace under the blood-colored moonlight.

Everyone looked at Yan Huai on the table.

Yan Huai, who was lying on the bed, slowly sat up. He did not open his eyes, but he slowly turned to Qi Ying and reached out to grab her arm.

Everyone was shocked and quickly looked at Qi Ying.

Qi Ying did not say anything. She just looked calmly at Yan Huai, who was slowly sitting up.

As Qi Ying continued to chant, Yan Huai slowly stood up and looked at Qi Ying with empty eyes.

As he had not walked for a long time, his movements were slow and sluggish, and he almost fell.

Qi Ying stopped chanting and Yan Huai stood in front of her.

“Is it really an evil spirit in the spirit medium?”

Yan Huai uttered a few unknown syllables.

There was no wind in the room. The curtains and candlelight swayed with the wind, making a fluttering sound.

The next second, Yan Huai pounced on Qi Ying.
