Yang Lirong suddenly realized and nodded, “You’re right, let’s verify it first.”

A few minutes passed.

The time reached half an hour.

Li Qianfan saw nothing, but Yang Lirong and Lili were terrified, their faces turning pale as they clung tightly to Li Qianfan.

“A ghost! A ghost is here!”

“I saw a ghost! I saw those three ghosts! I’m scared to death!”

Yang Lirong and Lili screamed continuously, while Chang Bowen was also terrified, trembling like a leaf.

“Could it be… there really are ghosts? How is that possible? Don’t kill me, I’m innocent, please don’t eat me…”

The supposedly mysterious Chang Bowen was now scared into hiding under the vanity table, with just his backside sticking out.

Seeing this scene, Li Qianfan couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

“Master Chang, didn’t you say you’d already driven the ghosts away? Why is it still haunted now? Come on, tell me, I want to see how you explain yourself.” Li Qianfan said.

“Spare me, I… I was just using smoke and mirrors to fool people, it was all a sham, I actually don’t know feng shui, let alone how to exorcise spirits…” Chang Bowen said tearfully, his face streaked with old tears.

“I knew you didn’t know how to exorcise spirits,” Li Qianfan said.

Yang Lirong couldn’t care less whether Chang Bowen was a fraud; she clung to Li Qianfan and urged, “Qianfan, please do something quickly, drive those ghosts away… They’re really scary, I’m so afraid…”

Yang Lirong’s voice carried a sob, and Lili’s eyes were slightly red.

Li Qianfan comforted the two women, saying, “Don’t be afraid, what you saw were actually illusions, not real. The ghosts you saw can’t hurt you at all.”

Upon hearing Li Qianfan’s words, Yang Lirong and Lili finally calmed down a bit.

And they realized that indeed, as Li Qianfan said, the ghosts they saw only hovered from a distance to scare them, never coming close.

“There’s actually no haunting in the villa,” Li Qianfan added.

“Then why did we see…” Yang Lirong stammered.

Li Qianfan explained seriously, “See that pot of flowers on the windowsill? It’s called Corpse Fragrance Blood Lotus, a rare flower that contains neurotoxins.”

“The toxic gas it emits, when inhaled and accumulated in your body for about half an hour, reaches a threshold, causing you to experience various illusions. Whatever you fear, you will see—that’s the real reason for the haunting in the villa.”

“I’m going to move this flower outside and open the windows to let in some fresh air. Soon, you won’t see those terrifying scenes anymore.”

With that, Li Qianfan gently pushed away Yang Lirong and Lili, then carried the Corpse Fragrance Blood Lotus outside to the small garden.

Li Qianfan then opened all the windows in the villa, allowing a fresh breeze to flow in from outside.

“Take a deep breath, get more fresh air,” Li Qianfan advised.

Yang Lirong and Lili thus took deep breaths, as did Chang Bowen, hiding under the vanity table.

About five or six minutes later, Yang Lirong exclaimed with delight, “It’s true, I can’t see those ghosts anymore!”

“I can’t see them either, all the ghosts have disappeared,” Lili said excitedly.

Li Qianfan smiled and said, “That’s because you’ve inhaled fresh air and expelled the toxins in your body. Without the toxins’ influence, you naturally won’t experience illusions, and you won’t see those terrifying ghosts.”

Yang Lirong and Lili now completely believed Li Qianfan, while casting disdainful glances at Chang Bowen, looking as pitiful as an old dog under the vanity table.

“Old man, what are you still doing down there? Get out!”

Li Qianfan gave Chang Bowen a kick, sending the old man rolling.

Then Chang Bowen got up from the floor, covering his face with his sleeve, looking thoroughly ashamed.

“Old man, what do you have to say for yourself now?” Li Qianfan questioned.

“I… I promise I won’t deceive people anymore…” Chang Bowen said, his expression extremely awkward.

“Get lost, and don’t let me see you again!” Li Qianfan ordered.

Chang Bowen quickly left, hurrying downstairs without looking back.

After Chang Bowen left, Li Qianfan seriously told Yang Lirong, “Aunt Yang, from now on, don’t believe in feng shui masters anymore. There may indeed be masters who understand feng shui in this world, but I can assure you, ninety-nine out of a hundred so-called feng shui masters are frauds.”

“I understand, I’ll definitely not believe them anymore,” Yang Lirong said, blushing with some embarrassment.

Looking at Yang Lirong’s shy appearance, Li Qianfan’s heart was moved.

So Li Qianfan took Yang Lirong’s delicate hand, kneading it while laughing mischievously and asked, “Aunt Yang, I helped you with the haunting problem, how are you going to thank me?”

“How do you want me to thank you?” Yang Lirong said bashfully.

“Do I really need to say it?”

As he spoke, Li Qianfan pulled Yang Lirong into his arms, sealing her enticing red lips with a wolfish kiss.

Yang Lirong hurriedly struggled, shyly saying, “My daughter is still here…”

Lili quickly headed outside, saying at the door, “You two continue, don’t mind me.”

Saying that, Lili closed the door.

Li Qianfan didn’t hold back anymore and directly carried Yang Lirong toward the luxurious Simmons double bed.

When he arrived, Li Qianfan tossed Yang Lirong onto the bed, then pounced on her like a wolf.

Li Qianfan tightly embraced Yang Lirong, kissing and nibbling on her beautiful cheeks and fair neck.

Yang Lirong also responded passionately to Li Qianfan, her voluptuous and sexy legs constantly rubbing against Li Qianfan’s body.

“Haven’t seen you for a few days, did you miss me?” Li Qianfan asked.

“Missed you to death, you bad guy…”

Yang Lirong replied shyly, like an innocent girl in love.

Li Qianfan was extremely moved, pulling off Yang Lirong’s dress and caressing her flawless body.

“Come on… come inside… give it to me…”

Yang Lirong panted, urging, her beautiful eyes filled with desire.

Li Qianfan didn’t immediately satisfy Yang Lirong. Instead, he teasingly said, “What do you want? Aunt Yang, if you don’t make it clear, I don’t understand.”

“I want your big… you know what…” Yang Lirong said, shy beyond words.

“And then?” Li Qianfan asked again.

“Oh, why are you so annoying…” Yang Lirong said coquettishly.

“Hurry up and say it!”
