Chapter 20 Mother's Soul Returns

Chen Xiao was one hundred percent certain that the familiar aura was definitely his mother.

He shouted, "Brother Li, my mother's soul has appeared!"

Li Mu gritted his teeth and replied loudly, "Brother Chen, quickly call out to her soul!"

"Mom, please come back!"

"Mom, please come back..."

............

Chen Xiao kept chanting this sentence.

He felt that the familiar aura was in front of him. She hesitated for a moment, but eventually walked towards the Seven Fiends Blood Banner.

The wind howled, growing stronger and stronger.

The Seven Fiends Blood Banner in Li Mu's hand was constantly trembling.

At this moment, countless wandering souls were snatching the Seven Fiends Blood Banner from his hands.

It looked like he was about to lose his grip...

This was the drawback of having Li Mu perform the soul-calling ceremony.

Normally, the user of the Seven Fiends Blood Banner would possess attacking and killing techniques. If wandering souls tried to snatch the banner, the user could easily repel them.

However, Li Mu only knew how to use the Seven Fiends Blood Banner, but did not possess any attacking or killing techniques. So, when the wandering souls tried to snatch the banner, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

Even though it was daytime, he still underestimated the power of these wandering souls.

"Brother Chen, hurry up, I can't hold on anymore!"

Li Mu used all his strength, his veins bulging, his eyes almost popping out.

"Mom, please come back... Mom, please come back... Mom, please come back..."

Chen Xiao had a wealth of skills, but because his mother's soul was among them, he didn't dare to use magic on these wandering souls. He could only repeat this sentence to call back his mother's soul.

Moved by his thoughts, his mother's soul seemed to finally sense Chen Xiao's call, and she slowly walked towards Chen Xiao.

But it was extremely difficult for her to walk back, because countless wandering souls were rushing towards the Seven Fiends Blood Banner, and in the process of rushing, they constantly pushed her backwards.

She took one step forward, then three steps back.

"Mom, please come back!"

"Mom, please come back!"

Chen Xiao's forehead was covered in cold sweat. The tension he felt facing Zhu Jiuyin was not even one-ten-thousandth of what he felt now.

Li Mu was about to give out. His body seemed to be lifted into the air by the impact.

Just then, he suddenly thought of something.

It was rumored that wandering souls were afraid of the blood essence of virgin boys... And although he was twenty-eight, he was still a virgin boy!

Whether this rumor was true or not, he had to try it.

He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and the salty blood instantly filled his mouth!

Under the effect of adrenaline, he no longer felt the pain. He opened his mouth wide and spat out the blood.

Ziz la la la —

It worked! The moment the blood essence was spat out, a sizzling sound instantly rang out in the air, accompanied by a series of extremely miserable wails of ghosts and wolves.

"Well done!"

Chen Xiao praised loudly. He could sense that, under the baptism of Li Mu's blood essence, the wandering souls were retreating one after another.

And his mother's soul also took the opportunity to come to Chen Xiao's side and return to her body.

Almost instantly, Liu Zhen suddenly opened her eyes wide and sat up.

She gasped for breath!

When Li Mu saw that Liu Zhen had woken up, he immediately put away the Seven Fiends Blood Banner, ending the soul-calling ceremony.

And those wandering souls began to wander around the living room like headless flies.

Chen Xiao didn't have time to pay attention to them for the time being. He looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, are you awake? Do you still remember me?"

Liu Zhen's eyes widened, "Son, what are you talking about? How could I not recognize you?!"

"Mom, you finally remember me!"

Chen Xiao excitedly hugged his mother, like a child who would never grow up.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a moment of surprise, followed by a sigh of emotion.

It turned out that no matter how powerful a person was, they were still a child when they were with their mother.

At this time, Liu Zhen said, "Son, Mom just had a dream, a very long dream... An old Taoist priest tied me to the basement, and then later I didn't know how I floated up. I just floated and floated and floated..."

As she spoke, Liu Zhen closed her eyes, and a faint snore sounded.

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to wake his mother, Li Mu immediately stopped him, "Don't, Brother Chen. Aunt's soul has been separated from her body for so long. Now she needs a process of reintegration. Let her sleep. When she wakes up, everything will be fine."

Chen Xiao suddenly realized and nodded, then said gratefully, "Brother Li, I would have been at a loss this time if it weren't for you."

Li Mu smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. Compared to Brother Chen's great achievements, I'm far behind!"

Li Mu looked calm on the surface, but in reality, his heart was already exploding with excitement. He had finally gained Chen Xiao's recognition. What a great honor!

In order not to wake his mother, Chen Xiao gently placed her on the sofa. Just then, the phone rang urgently.

Chen Xiao quickly answered the phone and said resentfully, "Who is calling me at this time? If they wake up my mom, I'm not going to let them get away with it!"

Fortunately, Liu Zhen was not awakened. The call was from Hao Datong, the dean of the hospital.

"Hey, Chen Xiao, what's going on with you? Why haven't you been to work for so many days?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Hao Datong said unhappily.

Chen Xiao then remembered that he had not been to the hospital since he returned from the provincial capital, and he had not asked the hospital for leave when he went to Jiao Province.

Chen Xiao smiled sheepishly and said, "Oh, it's Dean Hao. There was a family emergency. I went out for a few days and forgot to ask you for leave. I'm really sorry!"

"Forget it, forget it, you don't have to feel sorry for me. I think you're feeling pretty good about it!"

Hao Datong said in a strange tone.

"Haha, Dean Hao, don't be angry. You must have something to do with me, right? Let's get straight to the point!"

Chen Xiao laughed. He knew that Dean Hao must have something to do with him. It couldn't just be about skipping work.

Sure enough, Hao Datong then said, "You guessed right, kid. The hospital has a big job. You come over here right away!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

After all, Chen Xiao's job was a doctor. Since the hospital was calling, he naturally had to rush over.

After saying hello to everyone, Chen Xiao hurried to the hospital.

Hao Datong personally picked him up at the hospital gate.

As soon as he saw Chen Xiao, he waved and said, "Quick, come with me!"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What kind of patient is it that's making you so anxious?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Dean Hao didn't say it directly, but instead took Chen Xiao directly to... the morgue!
