Just as Jun Feifei was in utter terror, she suddenly felt a light pat on the back of her head.

The scene in front of her changed again, and the fearsome woman before her eyes became Yue Qingqing once more.

Those warm, clear doe eyes were looking at her worriedly.

"Feifei, are you feeling any better now?"

Jun Feifei cried, "I was scared to death, I really was."

Yue Qingqing gently stroked Jun Feifei's face, and the warmth of her fingers gradually calmed the girl down.

After soothing Jun Feifei, Yue Qingqing's gaze shifted.

Simple tricks, daring to be arrogant in front of her.

To deal with such underdeveloped, purely instinct-driven evil spirits, Yue Qingqing hardly needed to expend much Spiritual Energy.

But to avoid any unforeseen complications, she still set a barrier in the dormitory.

Then, she sliced through the air with her palm hovering.

The thin fingertips cut through the air like a paper cutter, revealing a dark, shadowy thing.

Yue Qingqing glanced at it and wrapped her right hand in Spiritual Energy to seize it.

Like a mouse, it squealed sharply, chattering away.

Yue Qingqing opened the barrier, and Jun Feifei stared in shock at the thing in her hand.

"Is-is that the ghost?"

Jun Feifei sensed it; the chilly feeling in the room had indeed disappeared.

In its place was a familiar heat.

It was the warmth provided by the dormitory's heater.

Yue Qingqing explained to Jun Feifei.

"This thing doesn't have much sentience yet, it's acting purely on instinct. It probably felt some injustice during its life, so it didn't leave through the usual channels."

Jun Feifei felt wronged, "Then why did it target me? What did I ever do to deserve this?"

Yue Qingqing said helplessly, "It might not have anything to do with you. Given that these things lack sentience, most would haunt the people they hated most in life, but some would harm innocent bystanders, usually choosing those who are more timid."

"Why?"

Jun Feifei felt even more wronged, although she seemed outgoing usually, she was actually most afraid of these supernatural things.

She didn't dare to watch horror movies at all.

Being timid, what had she done to deserve this?

Yue Qingqing enlightened her, "These things lack power. There's a saying, it's only there if you believe in it, not if you don't. It applies to them, because before they become powerful, they can mostly only affect people's mental state."

"People with a brave heart generally have good kidney function and plenty of Yang energy, so they're not afraid of these. Naturally, these can't affect them, but the more scared a person is, the easier it is for them to fall victim, letting it slowly erode their mental realm, leading to hallucinations like you just experienced."

With this explanation, Jun Feifei gulped.

"So the less I'm afraid, the less likely I am to be targeted?"

Yue Qingqing nodded, "You can look at it that way. If you really encounter one, there's no need to panic. You could even curse a bit, act fierce to boost your courage, and maybe it won't dare touch you. After all, there's a saying - ghosts are afraid of evil people."

Jun Feifei was about to express her understanding, but seeing Yue Qingqing hold up the dark object still scared her back under the covers.

That thing, which wasn't daring to move in Yue Qingqing's hand, bared its teeth at Jun Feifei, eager to pounce.

Clearly, it bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Yue Qingqing's expression turned slightly stern, her fingertip flicked.

A bit of Spiritual Energy nearly caused the ghostly thing to fall apart.

It immediately became docile.

"Don't be afraid, it's not easy to encounter these anyway."

Yue Qingqing comforted Jun Feifei, although such comfort was of little solace to Jun Feifei.

Just as Yue Qingqing was about to send it to reincarnation, she suddenly paused.

She noticed something unusual.

"Feifei, this thing might actually be related to you, or rather to us. It's a familiar face, or no, a familiar ghost."

"What?"

Jun Feifei, huddled in a corner, looked towards Yue Qingqing, full of confusion.
