Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 2557 Wouldn’t it be a pity?

She had no choice but to travel through the sea, and since she couldn’t fish with her spirit energy breath, she might as well…

Her eyes gleamed and she felt energised. She then removed her boots and red cloak and walked out into the sea barefoot.

The old man, who sat motionless with his eyes closed, seemed to hear a noise and opened one eye to look. He opened his eyes wide with surprise when he noticed the girl had removed her coat and even her boots and was walking barefoot to the sea.

“Miss, don’t get upset and do stupid things! You only get one life, and if you die, you will have nothing!” He rushed forward and grabbed Feng Jiu, who was about to walk into the sea.

Feng Jiu’s lips twitched as she heard this. She returned her gaze to the old man and said, “I’m not upset, Uncle. I just want to take a look at the sea. It is said that the bottom of the sea is full of treasures, particularly seafood that has never been seen before. Those can only be found in such a deep sea. Wouldn’t it be a pity not to explore this rarely seen vast sea?”

“You can’t come up if you get in. At the bottom of the sea, there is a sea monster that will eat people.” The old man stated once

more.

Feng Jiu chuckled. “You have already told me that, Uncle.”

“I certainly did! But why do you still want to die down there? Tell me, a beautiful young lady, why can’t you just let it go?” The old man talked to her and painstakingly tried to persuade her. “If you’re hungry and just want to get something to eat, why don’t you come over to my house?”

“Eh?” Feng Jiu turned to face the old man with surprise. “Go to your house?” She couldn’t stop herself from staring at the hillside. “There?”

“Yes, yes, right there. Shall we go?”

Feng Jiu, who was standing in the sea, paused for a moment before asking, “Would that bother you?” This old man was a cultivator with the strength of an Immortal Sacred, so he wasn’t an ordinary person. But why did this behaviour strike her as odd?

He didn’t question her where she came from, regardless of whether she was a good or bad person, yet he suddenly said that he’d take her to his house? She couldn’t have passed the hillside without seeing the houses if there weren’t some sort of hidden boundary barriers and arrays there.

Now, the old man said he would take her there. Something didn’t feel right to her in any way.

“No, no, I live alone.” The old man answered with his eyes narrowed in a smile.

Feng Jiu paused for a moment before walking back. “Well, then, I’ll accept your invitation and disturb you.” She returned, wiped her feet, put on her boots and coat, and followed the old man up the hillside.

As she suspected, there were arrays and boundary barriers in that place. She followed the old man inside, passing through those barriers and arrays. She was, however, taken aback when she looked inside.

There were only a dozen houses here, but they were surrounded by fruit and vegetable patches. Some kids were running down the path, while others were picking fruit. No one seemed surprised when they saw the old man bringing her in. They simply smiled and greeted the old man.
