37: Chapter 37 Parasitic Spirit 37: Chapter 37 Parasitic Spirit Su Fu, seeing that everything seemed to have settled, subconsciously opened his mouth to ask something, but was interrupted by Zhang Xiaoman with a raised hand.
Seeing this, he hesitated for not even a second before quickly closing his mouth, staring unblinkingly at the young man before him.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman’s back was to him.
Although his facial expression was still somewhat distorted, it was unseen by Su Fu standing behind, thus still maintaining his figure as a master.
Stepping forward, he carefully approached the bedside.
The Soul Absorption Technique had already entered a 30-minute cooling period.
Although he could feel that the monster was likely dead, Zhang Xiaoman still didn’t dare to be careless, remaining tense throughout the process.
If there was any slight movement, he would retreat immediately.
Fortunately, the situation proceeded smoothly.
When his right hand successfully approached the white orb on Su Changqing’s abdomen, the Seven-pointed Star in his palm emitted a white light as usual.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that, once the Seven-pointed Star emitted light, it signified that the monster was dead, and he could proceed with looting the body.
The light in his hands grew stronger, and finally, under Su Fu’s astonished eyes, the white orb transformed into strands of energy filaments, all drawn into Zhang Xiaoman’s hand, while the System’s notification echoed in his mind.
“Ding, absorbed Parasitic Spirit Essence, points increased by 5.”
Taking a long breath, Zhang Xiaoman knew he had successfully shown off.
Su, mission accomplished.
The monster inside your son has been cleared.”
Standing at the door, Su Fu’s face was already full of excitement and joy.
As soon as Zhang Xiaoman said this, Su Fu rushed over impatiently.
His hands trembling, he grabbed onto the hospital bed and eagerly checked his son’s condition.
On the bed, Su Changqing had indeed recovered a lot compared to before.
Not only was his breathing more steady and powerful, but his previously pale complexion had also become rosier.
The room’s door was suddenly opened, and it was the doctors along with several family members who rushed in.
The crowd upon seeing the disordered scene inside was stunned at first, then one by one, they swarmed beside the bed, peering at the condition of the young master of the Su family.
“Everyone, don’t push!
Don’t hurt the patient!
Let us check the patient’s condition first!”
A doctor shouted in the crowd.
Zhang Xiaoman chuckled, shook his head, and went out.
In the lobby, there were only a few people left at this time.
Apart from a young doctor who was still comforting Mrs.
Su, who was holding her unconscious daughter, there was only a chubby boy who held onto his phone, reluctant to give up on his teammates.
Setting aside the reasons of making money and earning points, Zhang Xiaoman was actually quite happy to be able to help them.
This was a feeling of satisfaction, not exactly an overflow of sympathy.
He simply liked this sense of achievement, similar to pursuing a perfect ending while playing video games.
Of course, the deserved reward must not be shortchanged.
Thinking about the reward, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but get a bit excited.
With Boss Su being so wealthy, getting a few hundred thousand shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Hehehe, with so much money, how shall I spend it?
Ah, just thinking about it gets me a bit excited.
Standing alone outside the door, Zhang Xiaoman was silly-happy for quite a while until he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Turning around, it was Su Fu who had come out.
Su Fu’s face was filled with a smile, having already shed the initial worry.
He took a few steps to Zhang Xiaoman’s side and expressed his gratitude:
“Thank you so much, Master.
I had no idea that a true dragon was hidden within this river.
If there was any slight earlier, please do not take offense, Master.”
Zhang Xiaoman smiled lightly.
Su, you are too kind.
Exterminating these monsters is our goal after all.
I dare not accept the honor of being called a true dragon.”
Su Fu was taken aback by his words.
He keenly picked up on the two words from Zhang Xiaoman’s mouth and curiously asked:
So the thing just now wasn’t a ghost?”
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and said:
“Where are there ghosts in this world?
They are but monsters unknown to the world.”
Su Fu immediately felt a surge of curiosity.
Originally, he was still shocked that ghosts and Daoist magic truly existed in the world, but the person himself denied it, suggesting that these things were another type of bizarre existence.
“This, Master, are there many individuals like you?
But how come I have never heard of them?”
Zhang Xiaoman sighed softly, his gaze piercing through the window to the sky outside.
Outside the villa, in the yard.
At this moment, the place was bustling with noise, the group of Daoist priests exploded after experiencing the recent upheaval.
Their expressions varied – some shocked, some fearful, some skeptical.
Gathered in groups, they discussed the recent events animatedly.
How is this possible!
How could such things exist in the world…”
“Could it be, could it be that the young man really possesses the power to comprehend ghosts and gods?”
“Impossible, impossible!
He must have used some method, used that something, high technology…
He must have used high technology!”
I have followed the Dao for decades…
Could it be that I have been on the wrong path?
If there truly is a Dao, why didn’t you tell me sooner!!!”
The security guards were also whispering to each other, busy and flustered.
Xiao Hei anxiously asked Wu Feng, who just came out of the villa.
Wu Feng was also full of disbelief at this moment.
He turned back to look at Zhang Xiaoman and Su Fu still conversing inside the villa, somewhat excitedly said:
“I just went in and checked, the boss’s son is alright now, the face on his stomach is gone, and his vital signs are stabilizing, recovering slowly.
The doctor said he’s sleeping now, and he should wake up soon.”
Xiao Hei’s face lit up with joy.
Unexpectedly, the Master he had found today turned out to be a real expert.
“Sure enough, sure enough!
The Master really is capable, I knew I hadn’t misjudged him!
My loan has hope again!
Wu Feng patted his shoulder and laughed:
“You lucky guy, you really bumped into the so-called expert this time.
It looks like not only will you not be fired, the boss might even give you a raise!”
Tomorrow I’ll treat the guys to a meal!”
