Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 2679
Chapter 2679: Inquiry
“Hmm, the name…” She pondered while holding her chin. Old White and Little White are already taken, so you…” She suddenly grinned while stroking its snowy white fur with one hand. “Since you are a silver wolf, I’ll call you Silver Ingot.”
“Silver, Silver Ingot?”
The silver wolf was still thinking about what kind of domineering name its master would give it, but who knew she’d give it such a tacky name. How short was its master on Silver Ingots?
“Pfft!”
The name made Xie Shisi, who was nearby, laugh. “Silver Ingot? Hee hee, that’s a good name. Silver Ingot, Silver Ingot. It sounds nice! What a pity that this Silver Ingot cannot be spent.”
The silver wolf lay down and pulled the corners of Feng Jiu’s clothes with its claws.
“Your name is Silver Ingot, and you must stay quiet so as not to scare people.” Feng Jiu ordered him. When she saw the maid carrying water not far away, she stood up and said to Xie Shisi, “I’ll return to my room first. Don’t run around.”
“Mm hmm, I know.” Xie Shisi replied. She entered the room while stretching her waist. “I’m going to lie down as well. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in two days. I’m exhausted.”
Feng Jiu went inside after the maid prepared the bath water. The silver wolf was ready to follow but the door was shut. “Keep an eye on the door. No one is permitted to enter without permission.”
The silver wolf looked at her, whimpered in response, and sat by the door. It had not yet been contracted by its master! It’d be on its best behaviour and try to get a contract with its master as soon as possible!
…
Feng Jiu squinted her eyes with pleasure as she soaked in the bath bucket. She closed her eyes and submerged herself in the hot water. As soon as she began to relax, she fell asleep unconsciously.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Yutang’s voice could be heard outside.
“Feng Jiu, Feng Jiu.”
She opened her eyes while in the bath bucket. She stood up, dried the water stains on her body, changed into a set of azure clothes, dried her jet black hair, simply tied it up, and then opened the door and left.
“Little Jiu, I know where this is.” Xie Yutang trotted forward when he saw her walk out. “This place is neither far nor near my home. We should be able to get home in a day if we ride on the flying swords.”
Feng Jiu nodded in response. “In that case, let’s get some rest today and leavetomorrow.”
“Alright!” Xie Yutang replied. “Then, I’m going to take a shower, too.”
Feng Jiu nodded. She returned to the room again and the silver wolf remained outside the door.
Feng Jiu did not take a rest after entering the room, but instead flashed into the space to cultivate…
Guo Xinning, who had bathed and dressed his wounds, was just leaving the room when he noticed his father seated in the courtyard. He paused briefly and then approached.
“Father.”
“Xinning, what about your wounds? Are they serious?” Patriarch Guo asked, observing his second son. He noticed that his son had become much more composed since returning from the trip.
“I’m fine, Father, don’t worry. ” Guo Xinning sat down at the courtyard table and asked, “Father, do you have anything to ask me?”
“Mm.” Patriarch Guo nodded.
Guo Xinning motioned to the people in the courtyard to leave. Patriarch Guo looked at him, his mind racing, and inquired, “What in the world have you all encountered on this experience trip? Why are the fatalities and injuries so severe?”
