Qin Xi was puzzled. “What’s going on? What’s inside?”
“There’s… there’s a ghost. It’s a strange place…” At the thought of that place, the soul’s eyes were filled with fear. He hugged Qin Xi’s thigh and refused to let go.
Logically speaking, Han Shi should not be able to see the soul just like Han Dazhu and Luo Xiujuan who did not know who Qin Xi was talking to.
However, Han Shi was different. For some reason, he could see the soul.
Seeing that the soul was hugging his wife’s thigh, he pulled it away and threw it out. With a vigilant and warning gaze, he said, “Don’t touch my wife. If you dare to touch her again, I’ll get my wife to seal you in and never let you out.”
The soul was about to resist, but when it heard this, it immediately cowered and did not even dare to breathe.
Qin Xi looked at Han Shi in surprise. “You can see it?”
Han Shi said with a puzzled look, “It keeps flickering. How can I not see it?”
The corners of Qin Xi’s mouth twitched. “That’s true…”
A few days ago, when Han Shi said that he wanted to become stronger and protect her, she thought of asking the soul out to help Han Shi. However, she was worried that the soul would covet Han Shi’s body again, so she did not let it out.
Now, the soul offered itself to be her servant. It would be a waste to say no to that.
At the thought of this, she asked with a strange look in her eyes, “What’s your name?”
“I’m Jiu Yuan, King of Jun dynasty” Jiu Yuan answered honestly.
Qin Xi frowned. “Why didn’t I know about this dynasty?”
“Uh… many dynasties aren’t recorded in the history books. Besides, some of these histories distort the truth, so it can’t be trusted at all!”
Qin Xi nodded in agreement and pointed at Han Shi. “In the future, you’ll follow him and teach him everything you know. Do you have a problem with that?
“I’m talking about everything you know. You’re not allowed to hide anything from me or have any ill intentions. If I find out, I’ll seal you inside the bracelet and you’ll never come out.”
“I understand, I understand…” Jiu Yuan nodded. As long as he wasn’t thrown into that damn place, he was fine with being a servant.
Han Shi said with displeasure, “Wifey, I don’t want him to teach me.”
Qin Xi raised her eyebrows. “Why?”
Han Shi said, “He’s too bright. My eyes hurt!”
The corners of Qin Xi’s mouth twitched. “Don’t you want to become stronger? Don’t you want to protect me and your family? Or do you want to be like this for the rest of your life?”
Han Shi pouted and agreed reluctantly. “Alright, I agree.”
Jiu Yuan was speechless. If not for the fact that he was threatened, he really wanted to bite him to death.
“That’s right. He’s a king and has been wandering the human world for so long. He must know a lot of things. When you learn all of them, you’ll be able to protect me and your parents.”
“Okay!”
Listening to their conversation, Han Dazhu and Luo Xiujuan were dumbfounded.
Luo Xiujuan mustered her courage and asked while trembling, “Xi, who are you talking to? Why can’t I… see anything?”
Qin Xi thought for a moment and pointed at Jiu Yuan. She introduced him simply, “Grandpa, Mom, this is the free teacher I found for Stone. Although he’s a ghost, he was a king when he was alive. I believe Stone will learn a lot from him.”
Han Dazhu and Luo Xiujuan were speechless. Wasn’t finding a ghost to be a teacher ridiculous?
