That, that saying one thing, meaning another thing...what did he mean, nothing to take advantage of’… He obviously took advantage of me!

Chu Kong stood there for a long time. He frowned as he thought for a moment. Then he suddenly said, “Do you feel that the snow on this mountain is strange?”

I looked at him seriously. “No.”

Frustrated, Chu Kong said, “Forget it, I was being stupid. I actually asked you.”

We were silent again. I looked around. The strange thing that I found was that the snow was mixed with some wood. I thought for a while. Suddenly, I crashed into Chu Kong’s back. Chu Kong ignored me and solemnly said, “The wrong thing with this snow mountain is that someone put a spell here.”

I was confused. “But I didn’t see a spell, ah.”

“Of course you wouldn’t see it,” Chu Kong said with dissatisfaction.

“You see the snow on the roadside? It’s neat, like someone just cleaned it. You don’t need to walk far and there’ll be a stone on the roadside. If you look carefully, the distance between the stones is always the same.”

I followed Chu Kong speech and looked at the environment. My heart was startled. My face paled. “These things have always been there when we walked down the mountain. Someone actually used one spell on the whole mountain? What does he want to do? Why put a spell on this mountain?”

“If it’s only this mountain then it’d be fine…”

Chu Kong paused. We tried to figure this out. Suddenly one of the stones on the roadside flashed a bright red light. The flashes spelled something that I didn’t understand. Chu Kong’s eyes turned serious. “It’s a bloodthirsty spell. It’ll suck all the blood of the living creatures inside the spell!”

Immediately, I pulled Chu Kong’s sleeve and hid behind him.

“Living creatures, including us?”

“What do you think?”

I carefully thought for a moment. “I really don’t know if it includes us.”

Chu Kong went silent.

I stuck tightly against his back. Chu Kong waved. A crimson whip appeared in his hand. He looked back at me. “Are you incapable? Are you just good for nothing? You’ve already been restored your immortal body and you’re still afraid of this kind of spell? Just find the opening and break it. It’s as simple as that.”

Hearing Chu Kong’s words, I was startled. If I’d fallen into this spell alone, I wouldn’t necessarily behave like this. But seeing Chu Kong’s straight back standing there, I didn’t worry and just automatically hid behind him. This seemed to have become a behavior I couldn’t stop.

Of course, I wouldn’t tell Chu Kong such a thing.

“Do you think I want to hide behind you? If you hadn’t broken my round fan that time, leaving me with nothing to protect my body, would I still stand behind you?”

Chu Kong was silent for a while and then harrumphed coldly. “It’s just a broken fan. You, a poor ghost, actually remembered it for so long. When we go back, I’ll compensate you.”

My eyes lit up. I grabbed Chu Kong’s hand. “This is something you said, ah! We agreed! I want the Weaver Girl’s fan. The best one.”

Chu Kong pouted, dissatisfied. “Really no knowledge.”

“If you have the knowledge, you go find a better one, ah. I’ll never refuse…”

My words hardly left my mouth when Chu Kong grabbed my shoulder, pulled me to the side, and jumped into the sky.
