I drew a talisman to save the sun from its bleeding state.

Chapter 8 The Evil Spirit's Unexpected Luck

Zhou Zheng asked curiously, "Haven't you ever played online before? You seem quite clumsy."

Xiaoxue: "...No, I just learned it today."

Zhou Zheng nodded: "So it's because you don't have any friends, I understand."

Xiaoxue's eyelids twitched: "Master, have you ever played online games?"

Zhou Zheng: "No, I don't have any friends either. You know, our circle is very small, and it's hard to recommend it to others. You're the only player I've met in my hometown."

Xiaoxue: "..."

Then why are you barking like that? Your emotional intelligence is comparable to that of a grown banana.

Three hours of engaging and interactive gaming time allowed for less communication barriers between the two.

The two chatted and strolled around, looking for the milk tea shop that was still open.

On the streets at night, only the streetlights are still on, and between two streetlights, there are some dark gaps that are not filled with light.

The infrastructure in my hometown is good, but the economic development is average. At night, the streets are basically deserted.

At this moment, around midnight, the two of them enjoyed the quiet and tranquility of the entire street all to themselves.

"Haha, let's all ride in wheelchairs next time and see if we can win."

Xiaoxue covered her mouth with one hand, grinning from ear to ear, her eyes sparkling.

Zhou Zheng suddenly felt a chill between his brows. Startled, he looked up and followed the direction of the chill, only to see a health bar inexplicably appearing in the distance, moving closer and closer.

Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand to block Xiaoxue, signaling her to stop.

Xiaoxue stopped, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

Zhou Zheng looked at the health bar flying rapidly through the air with a puzzled expression: "I think I've found the culprit behind your nightmares."

[Tier 1 Evil Spirit]

The evil spirits darted back and forth in the darkness of mid-air, their forms indistinct, only a faint, eerie black mist could be seen approaching.

Xiaoxue's eyes widened, and she hurriedly grabbed Zhou Zheng's laptop bag: "Hey!? Now? Where? Don't scare me, Master!"

Zhou Zheng calmly took his workbook out of his laptop bag: "No rush, close your eyes, and open them when I tell you to."

Xiaoxue was so frightened that she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and she curled up almost against Zhou Zheng's side.

A faint ghostly howl came from ahead, the surrounding air seemed to cool down, and the cold wind made Xiaoxue's arms break out in goosebumps.

As Zhou Zheng watched the health bar fly towards him, he went straight for Xiao Xue, grabbed the rolled-up homework book, and slammed it down hard.

"Bang!!!"

"Sizzle!!!"

The health bar was instantly emptied, and the black mist quickly faded and dissipated into nothingness amidst the flames and lightning.

The notebook is an unused book; the first half is covered with talismans, while the second half contains essential knowledge that one must know to become the Emperor of the Star Sea.

Zhou Zheng looked at the empty health bar and the black energy that had been blown away by the talisman energy, and shrugged: "You can open your eyes now. You don't have to worry about having nightmares anymore."

Xiaoxue cautiously opened her left eye: "Is...is that so? Hey? Master, why is your homework book on fire?"

Zhou Zheng waved the workbook, extinguishing the sparks on it: "The first half of this workbook was full of talismans. I just smashed that guy so hard that it's all gone."

A question mark appeared above Xiaoxue's head: "Huh...what?"

Zhou Zheng opened the notebook directly: "Look, this is my notebook for practicing drawing talismans. It's full of talismans."

Xiaoxue covered her mouth and burst out laughing: "Then what's the difference between that and hitting the jackpot?"

Zhou Zheng shrugged: "There's no difference, so hurry up and take a taxi and order some milk tea delivery. I'll contact Xuan Yizi; this matter is a bit complicated."

Xiaoxue immediately took out her phone: "Should we tell my dad?"

Zhou Zheng: "Speak up, why are you still bothering me in the middle of the night? I don't believe this isn't a blood feud."

Xiaoxue made a video call to her father and started ranting and raving about him.

Zhou Zheng then used the giant letter to make a video call to Xuan Yizi: "Hey, are you asleep?"

The video call rang three times before being answered.

In the video, Xuan Yizi, still half-asleep and wearing pajamas, stands in complete darkness: "Huh? Do I look like I've just been woken up? Oh, Immortal Zhou, Fellow Daoist Zhou! What's wrong? Encountering difficulties in your cultivation?"

Zhou Zheng: "Xiaoxue and I were out for a walk when we encountered a level one evil spirit attacking us. Could you come to Xiaoxue's house to meet us? Remember to bring me a Youlong Sword; I'm learning the Youlong Sword Technique."

Xuan Yizi's eyes instantly cleared: "Are you alright?"

Zhou Zheng: "I'm fine."

Xuan Yizi looked speechless: "...I didn't ask you."

Zhou Zheng: "Uh, Xiaoxue is fine too."

Xuan Yizi's lips twitched: "It's not her either."

A question mark slowly appeared above Zhou Zheng's head as he looked at Xuan Yizi with a puzzled expression.

The only people present are me, Xiaoxue, and the evil spirit. You didn't ask me, nor did you ask Xiaoxue, so you couldn't possibly be asking the evil spirit, could you?

Xuan Yizi sighed helplessly: "Is the evil spirit alright? Of course I'd ask the evil spirit! Did you catch it? You drew the talisman with your bare hands, how could the evil spirit possibly harm you? Xiaoxue has a talisman on her, how could the evil spirit hurt her? If I don't ask the evil spirit, what else can I ask?"

Zhou Zheng remained silent, but simply held up the notebook with burn marks in his hand. Near the burn marks, one could even see the imprint of a red ballpoint pen.

Xuan Yizi sighed, "Alright, he brought this on himself. Next time, remember to capture them alive; we can only interrogate them if they're alive. I'll go get my senior brother now; he'll be there soon."

The video call ended.

Zhou Zheng shrugged. It seemed he still needed to learn how to control souls.

"...It's alright, it's alright now. My coordinates are here. Okay, I'll wait here. Tell Uncle Liu to come over quickly! Alright, I won't hang up the video call. Dad, I'm fine. Look, this is Master Zhou next to me. He's amazing!"

"Brother Zhou, my dad said he wants to see you."

Zhou Zheng put away his phone and looked at the video call coming in. A middle-aged man in a white shirt was sitting in the study with a serious expression.

Xiaoxue's father: "Master Zhou, please protect my daughter. My bodyguards are on their way. Please don't let her get hurt."

Zhou Zheng: "No problem."

Zhou Zheng raised his chin, indicating that he was finished and was taking the item back.

"Xiaoxue, don't hang up the phone. The people Dad arranged are coming right away."

Xiaoxue giggled and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I have Master Zhou protecting me, everything will be fine."

Zhou Zheng glanced sideways at Xiaoxue's father's expression in the video and felt that Xiaoxue's words were adding fuel to the fire. Although he didn't know what they had talked about before, at this moment, in Xiaoxue's father's eyes, he was like a blond-haired kid who suddenly appeared and wanted to steal his daughter away. The way he looked at him just now was as if he wanted to kill him, but he was only suppressing his anger for the sake of his daughter's safety.

In less than five or six minutes, Zhou Zheng heard the roar of a car speeding by. A black bulletproof car, which was driving illegally, stopped by the sidewalk. The driver rolled down half of the window, the door opened automatically, and a burly bodyguard in black clothes rushed out of the car, pressed Xiaoxue's head down to protect her, and pushed Xiaoxue into the car.

Xiaoxue hurriedly waved her hands, "Hey, hey, hey! I'm fine! Don't be like this! Brother Zhou, come up quickly, come up quickly!"

Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow, realizing that Xiaoxue's family background was not as ordinary as he had thought. He shrugged and had no choice but to follow.

Now that we've gotten involved, we have to get things done.

They dare to jump in so fiercely; I'd like to see how many heads they have, and whether they're enough to chop off.

After getting in the car, fasten your seatbelt. The vehicle travels at extremely high speeds, and speeding and running red lights are just basic operations.

Zhou Zheng snorted lightly, looking down on Xiaoxue's family background. So what if you're rich? So arrogant.

The driver heard the humming sound, glanced at the rearview mirror, reached down with his left hand, pulled out a colored light, extended it out the window and placed it on the roof, then pressed a button.
