Chapter 310: The Elevator That Went Up By Itself

Translator: Tim Editor: Fish Creek

So the ghost upstairs had harmed him. Now, the clothes confirmed her suspicions, and Luo Xuan felt a faint sense of sadness and loss. Although she wasn’t on good terms with Ye Mo, in this dead apartment block, a neighbor was much better than solitude.

But soon, her eyes grew cold, and she was no longer in the mood to stay at the top of the building. She picked up her long sword and charged down without hesitation.

She went from the 12th to the 9th floor but found nothing. She felt very strange. Had the thing left already?

If she had really seen the ghost, Luo Xuan wouldn’t have been scared. She didn’t believe she would lose to a ghost. But she looked around and still found nothing. She actually started to feel scared. The unseen was the scariest. Luo Xuan no longer dared to stay on the 9th floor and wanted to go down immediately, the faster the better.

But when she reached the 9th-floor elevator, she found it ascending and opening by itself. There was nothing inside. The doors opened slightly, then closed, and the elevator went up by itself. Then, it stopped at the 10th floor for a moment before going up to the 11th floor.

Luo Xuan could no longer remain calm. Goosebumps erupted on her head. She had just come down and found nothing, but now, this elevator was going upstairs by itself. She could no longer hold back the terror in her heart. She was the only one living above the 3rd floor, but she couldn’t even see anything. Her eyes were supposed to see a lot of things.

Originally, Mo Ying lived next door, but he was definitely harmed. Luo Xuan resisted the terror in her heart and climbed down from the balcony. She wanted to go downstairs and not stay there that night. That elevator was too scary. At this moment, she realized that Mo Ying’s presence had emboldened her, even without him doing anything. But now, he was gone.

When Luo Xuan came down, she found that the balcony belonged to Mo Ying.

“Ahhhhhh….” Luo Xuan screamed at Ye Mo, who was not far away. He appeared too suddenly. Luo Xuan felt her skin prickling with goosebumps. Wasn’t he dead? How did he appear here?

“You said you wouldn’t follow me. I didn’t kill you. You must not come here, please.” Luo Xuan had already forgotten she was a ghost hunter. She was actually scared of Ye Mo.

Ye Mo looked at her strangely: “What are you talking about? Wasn’t your courage usually pretty great? And you went up to the 9th floor to hunt ghosts. Why do you have that expression? This room is where I live. You came to my place and you’re telling me not to come over. You’re really strange. Didn’t I tell you I was going into solitary training? Why did you come here?”

“You didn’t die?” Luo Xuan regained her senses but still looked at Ye Mo unsurely.

“You’re dead!” Ye Mo said unhappily. He had just reached the chi gathering middle stage and had a ride in the sky. But as soon as he came back, this girl said he was dead.

Luo Xuan suddenly had an overjoyed expression on her face. She grabbed Ye Mo’s hands, “You didn’t die. You really didn’t die! Great! I thought you died. Your hands are still warm. You didn’t die, [whimpers]…”

As she spoke, Luo Xuan actually started crying and she almost fell into his arms.

Ye Mo frowned. Was this girl okay? Why was she so scared? He knew her guts; that night, she fought with the ghost. Although she was pushed downstairs, her qing gong saved her life, and she was a yellow level middle stage cultivator. What was going on?

“What happened?” Ye Mo didn’t push Luo Xuan away; he didn’t know what happened to her.

“Hmm, don’t move….” Ye Mo saw Luo Xuan’s eyes were strange. He grabbed Luo Xuan’s wrist. Indeed, in her body was some dark, unclean qi. She was already a yellow level warrior and could see things others could not. How could such evil qi attach to her body?

Ye Mo used his chi to force out that dark qi and burnt it.

At this moment, Luo Xuan realized she had run into Ye Mo’s arms. She quickly moved away and said: “What was I doing just then? And what happened to you? I saw your clothes at the top of the building?”

“You went upstairs?” Ye Mo thought that there were no ghosts upstairs now, and even if there were, she shouldn’t be this scared. Plus, since there were no ghosts here, how was she intruded by evil qi?

“I dumped my clothes there, after I finished solitary training. I went to the roof and stood for a while. Because I was full of sweat, I took off my clothes there.” Ye Mo said.

Luo Xuan had calmed down by now and breathed before saying: “So that’s what happened. I was so scared. I thought something happened to you, so I went upstairs by myself wanting to kill the ghost to get revenge for you, but when I got to the 12th floor there was nothing. And then, I saw your clothes and I got angrier, so I went down again but I didn’t find anything.”

Ye Mo asked strangely: “Since you didn’t find anything, why were you so scared?” He didn’t ask her why evil qi got inside her body, but he felt quite grateful to Luo Xuan. After all, she went to get revenge for him.

Luo Xuan still had some lingering fear, “I don’t know. I thought I wouldn’t be afraid of ghosts, but at the 9th floor, I saw the elevator go up and open by itself. There was nothing inside. I didn’t see anything, but then the elevator continued up to the 10th floor. Then, I became scared and jumped down immediately. I was prepared to leave but I saw you.”

Ye Mo frowned and murmured to himself: “So the elevator moving has nothing to do with that woman. What was going on?”

“What woman?” Luo Xuan asked.

Ye Mo waved his hand: “Nothing important, but luckily you came down early. If you came down a little later, perhaps you wouldn’t have been able to come down. Amazing, even I didn’t notice this.”

“Mo Ying, tell me. You live here and you’re not afraid of ghosts. And you said even you didn’t notice. Are you a disciple of Mao Mountain?” At this moment, Luo Xuan also knew that Ye Mo was no ordinary person. She was almost harmed living here, but a normal person could live here so freely? That wasn’t normal.

Ye Mo nodded seriously: “I’m an immortal. Ghosts are insects in my eyes. Normal ghosts who see a master like me run as far as they can.”

“Psht…” Luo Xuan heard Ye Mo’s nonsense and felt much better.

After saying that, Ye Mo also felt a little embarrassed. That night when he went up to kill the ghost, the elevator also moved up by itself, but he didn’t notice anything. It was obviously nonsense saying that ghosts ran as far as they could when they saw him.

“Okay, you go back to sleep. I’ll go up and have a look.” Ye Mo said. He really didn’t believe something could hide right under his nose.

“Don’t.” Although the bleak chi inside Luo Xuan’s body had been burnt, the lesson she learned tonight was too big. It allowed her to understand that although she was a yellow level martial artist, there were a lot of things she couldn’t control. She still thought that although Ye Mo had some small capabilities, he was still far from her. Even she almost couldn’t come down; if Ye Mo went, he would be dead for sure.

Ye Mo looked helplessly at this little girl who, a few days ago, still had great aspirations in catching ghosts and said: “Okay, then I’ll go up in a few days. But since you’re so scared, why are you still staying here? Do you not know that this is a haunted building?”

Luo Xuan shook her head: “I know. That’s why I moved over. I lived at the uni before, but it affected my cultivation, and a lot of people kept annoying me. So now I live at the haunted building; no one has come to annoy me these days. I feel so much better. And, I’m not scared of ghosts. Ghosts are scared of me.”

Ye Mo looked at Luo Xuan in shock, “You sure you’re not afraid of ghosts?”

Luo Xuan hesitated for a moment: “Most of the time, I’m not scared, but the one I met tonight was too powerful. I couldn’t even see it, so….”

“So, you were scared, right?” Ye Mo said.

Luo Xuan nodded unexpectedly: “Yes.”

Then, Luo Xuan looked at Ye Mo’s room and said embarrassingly: “Um, Mo Ying, your room door is broken. How about you come over to mine? I still have an empty room.”

Ye Mo pointed at his two empty rooms: “I also have empty rooms too. Why do I need to live at your place?”

“Because…..because….” Luo Xuan stumbled for a long time but still couldn’t say it.

Ye Mo was in a good mood. He smiled and said: “Because you’re scared of ghosts, right? Never mind. On account of your chi recovery pills letting me reach the great heaven state, I’ll help you once. But I’m telling you, I’m leaving here in at most a week, so you’ll be living by yourself still.”

“You’re bluffing again, great heaven….” Luo Xuan rolled her eyes. She wouldn’t believe Ye Mo’s words, but she continued: “Perhaps next week, after going to that qian bei’s house to look at the books, I can leave too.”

Ye Mo didn’t know if great heaven level masters could fly, but he felt that now he ascended to level 4, he was so much stronger than before. He wouldn’t even care about great heaven state masters. Plus, Zhang Zhihui said there were rarely any great heaven level masters. What would he be afraid of?

“Right, since you’re a disciple of Mao Mountain, you shouldn’t be afraid of ghosts. There was a loud bang in your apartment a few days ago, and why were you injured?” Luo Xuan remembered what happened a few days ago and asked.

Ye Mo smiled, “When did I say I’m a disciple of Mao Mountain? I’m a pill master. Last time I borrowed your qi recovery pills to concoct a few pills. After eating those pills, you will ascend immediately. After you rest up, I’ll give you one to eat, and you’ll know.

Luo Xuan looked at Ye Mo strangely for a long time before saying: “You’re really capable, aren’t you? Not only are you great heaven level but you’re also a pill master. But never mind about the pills, I suggest you go find a job tomorrow. Otherwise, you daydream too much staying home all day long.”
