Chapter 883: The Psychic Master 47

After dealing with the earth spider, He Tongyang returned to the house with Tang Wan.

Looking at her, he said with a trace of apology, “Wan Wan, I’m sorry… I didn’t expect something like this to happen today.”

Today was supposed to be their wedding day.

Tang Wan immediately shot him an annoyed look. “What are you apologizing for? No one did anything wrong. How’s your body?”

He Tongyang shook his head lightly. “The forbidden technique you taught me worked very well. Aside from some exhaustion, there’s nothing else wrong.”

“That’s good,” Tang Wan replied at once. “Then stop talking and go rest.”

As she spoke, he suddenly reached out and held her hand. “Stay with me.”

Tang Wan sighed, half amused. “Where else would I go without you? Lie down.”

“Mm.”

Only then did He Tongyang finally relax and lie back.

He had looked fine when he jumped down from the ancestral hall earlier, but in truth, he had already been at his limit. If he had held on any longer, he might not have even been able to keep his grip on the sword.

Now that the tension was gone, sleep overtook him almost instantly.

Watching him, Tang Wan gently reached out and brushed his pale face, her expression softening.

Then she asked quietly, “Little Cutie… now that the earth spider is gone, will Tong Tong still end up getting killed by the male lead?”

Little Cutie quickly replied, “I don’t know, host. But you’ve already completed the mission. Based on past patterns… you probably won’t stay in this world much longer.”

Tang Wan: “…”

Of all things to say, it had to say that.

Did it think she wasn’t already bothered enough?

She didn’t respond again, only lowered her gaze and stayed beside him in silence.

Fortunately, the accident she had been wary of never came.

Days passed peacefully… until the fifteenth of the seventh month.

On that night, the Ghost Gate opened.

It was the most yin-heavy day of the year, when spirits and ghosts roamed freely.

As a spirit herself, Tang Wan felt unusually comfortable. Her thoughts seemed clearer, her entire being lighter.

But at that moment, He Tongyang’s phone rang sharply.

He glanced at the screen.

It was Elder Lin—the psychic who had attended their wedding and noticed that Tang Wan was not human.

A faint crease appeared between his brows.

He answered.

As expected, it wasn’t good news.

A powerful Ghost King had suddenly appeared near the imperial capital.

Worse still, it was actively devouring other spirits released from the Ghost Gate, rapidly strengthening itself. If it wasn’t dealt with soon, the surrounding area would be in serious danger.

Nearly all psychics in the capital had already rushed over.

And given what He Tongyang had demonstrated at the wedding, Elder Lin had contacted him immediately.

“I understand. I’ll head there now. If anything changes, inform me right away,” He Tongyang said decisively.

As a psychic, protecting people was his duty.

After hanging up, he quickly explained everything to Tang Wan. The two of them wasted no time and set off together.

But along the way, Tang Wan couldn’t shake the unease in her heart.

“Little Cutie… this wasn’t in the original plot,” she said quietly.

The earth spider had been the strongest threat before.

So why… was there suddenly a Ghost King now?

Something about it felt wrong.

Little Cutie hesitated before replying, “It really wasn’t mentioned. Maybe… because the villain died early in the original timeline, this part never happened?”

That explanation sounded reasonable.

But for some reason—

Tang Wan’s uneasiness only deepened.
