From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 141: Chapter 139: Feng Mei's Intrusion_1

A few seconds later, Jian Qi'er pressed the answer button.

"Hello! Qi'er! What's going on? I've been calling all morning and you haven't picked up!"

A middle-aged woman's shout immediately came from the phone.

"Sister Mei, I...uh, I've got a fever." Jian Qi'er spoke in a feigned sick tone.

It must be said, a professional actor is just that—especially someone like Jian Qi'er, who could fake a fever to the point of seeming half-dead.

"What? You have a fever? Wait for me, I'm already at your community." The woman on the phone hurriedly hung up upon hearing this.

Beep beep beep...

Jian Qi'er stared blankly at the phone that had already hung up, suddenly feeling completely frazzled.

Thump—

She immediately stood up and saw the blood all over her body and the trail of red footprints Fang Ren had left on his way to the bathroom.

She then hurriedly opened the door and stepped out, took the broken sword, and chopped up a few blood-stained tiles at the entrance, overturning the soil underneath and covering it with True Qi.

She closed the door, returned to the room, and placed the sofa she had just been lying on into the Space Ring. Finally, she took off her shoes, levitated using True Qi, and mopped the blood off the tiles.

"Damn it! Why is there still such a strong smell of blood?"

In a moment of panic, Jian Qi'er quickly flew upstairs, grabbed two cans of air freshener, and started spraying wildly over the tiles downstairs, not forgetting to light two mosquito coils from her room on the first floor.

"What the heck are you up to?" Fang Ren's voice came from the bathroom, having heard the noise outside.

Thump thump thump...

Knocking sounds came from the front door, accompanied by the shouts of Jian Qi'er's agent Feng Mei from outside: "Qi'er! What happened to you? Did some bad guy come over? The ground by the entrance has been dug up!"

Jian Qi'er hurriedly flew to the outside of the bathroom, knocking frantically on the door.

Click—

Fang Ren, wrapped in a towel, immediately opened the door, frowning at the panicked Jian Qi'er, then turned his attention to the vigorous knocking outside. Gray vital energy surged from his body: "There are still pursuers!"

No sooner had he spoken, Fang Ren prepared to summon his Sickle and burst out.

"Hey hey hey!"

As soon as Jian Qi'er saw the gray aura emanating from him and him grabbing the Sickle to rush outside, she was dumbstruck.

"Hold on a second!"

She immediately reached for his arm, but Fang Ren's Realm had improved, and he was much quicker than she had expected.

Instead of grabbing Fang Ren's arm, she ended up pulling hard on his towel.

Rip—

A sound of fabric tearing followed.

"What? Qi'er, what age are we living in? You still believe in this stuff?" Feng Mei's face showed disbelief.

"Sister Mei! That master was truly amazing. He could tell something had happened to my house without even seeing it. I didn't use to believe, but now I really do," Jian Qi'er said earnestly.

Feng Mei slapped her own palm to her face with resignation: "Qi'er, are you mistaken again? How can you believe this stuff? Also, I clearly heard a man's voice just now, and you're lying to me! Tell me, is that fortune-teller in your room trying to swindle money and seduce you?"

With that, Feng Mei started walking further inside.

"Sister Mei! It's really nothing!" Jian Qi'er protested.

"Still denying it! Look at these footprints on the floor! There's someone in the bathroom!" Feng Mei exclaimed.

As she spoke, Feng Mei directly charged into the bathroom. Jian Qi'er stood there, dumbstruck, having never imagined she'd forget to deal with the most crucial detail.

Click-clack—

Feng Mei pushed open the bathroom door to see a cloud of hot steam, and she furrowed her brows. According to her many years of experience as an agent, this was definitely a major scandal!

"Who's there! Come out!" Feng Mei shouted.

As she spoke, Feng Mei was about to pull back the bathroom curtain.

Jian Qi'er felt utterly helpless: "It's over... That guy is definitely going to be mistaken for my boyfriend by Sister Mei..."

As the curtain was pulled aside by Feng Mei, there stood Fang Ren, wrapped in a bath towel, dumbfounded, with a pile of bloody black clothes on the ground next to him.

"Blood!?"

Feng Mei was shocked, her mind flooded with crime scene connections, and she was totally flabbergasted.

Seeing this, Fang Ren immediately switched to Oscar Actor Mode.

He suddenly adopted a serious and rather chuunibyou sword-wielding pose and said, "Audacious scoundrel! I am in the midst of exorcising demons! How dare you interrupt me!"

Feng Mei was stunned again.

"Wh-what?"

Following her in, Jian Qi'er, seeing Fang Ren, who without any sense of disharmony posed like a Taoist priest and was acting all chuunibyou, was also stunned.

"Get out this instant! The demon is not yet vanquished! Miscreants should not enter this place!" said Fang Ren, frowning.

"Is this that master?"

Feng Mei blankly looked towards Jian Qi'er.

After a brief moment of being stunned, Jian Qi'er quickly nodded: "Yes... Yeah! The master is exorcising spirits! Sister Mei, don't disturb him."

"Qi'er! Are you really out of your mind!" Feng Mei burst out angrily: "He's just a bluffing swindler! Since when does a daoist performing rituals take baths in the bathroom?"

"Ignorant woman!" Fang Ren pointed at the black clothes covered with blood on the floor and said, "The blood of the demon I've slain lies right here, yet you're so short-sighted! Insulting me! If you don't leave immediately, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

"Scammer! You've got some nerve putting on a show!"

With those words, Feng Mei was about to roll up her sleeves and throw a punch.
