Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 698

This piqued Fade's curiosity and he asked, "Miss Song, what is your intention of going to so many places? All the places you visited aren't even scenic or tourist spots. This doesn't feel like a vacation!" Susie stared at Fade and retorted, "When did I say that I'm here for a vacation?"

Upon hearing this, Fade rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "I was trying to be a good tour guide by taking you to tourist spots and I even looked up the history, but you don't seem to want to see any of them."

Fade complained in his heart but on the surface, he asked, "Then what are you doing here, Miss Song?"

Susie continued to search for the so-called hidden gems she found on the internet. As she searched for them, she turned to Fade and said, "I'm here to find inspiration for my new album." "Looking for inspiration!" Fade said in surprise.

Susie explained, "I haven't released a new album in a year, so I have to start composing songs as soon as possible. Yet, the songs I wrote earlier are not very good, so I decided to go out and explore. Perhaps, I'll find inspiration and see if it can spark an idea to build upon."

As she spoke, Susie wrote down a few places. "This, this, this and this. Based on the pictures, they look pretty good. Let's go tomorrow..." she uttered. Behind her, Fade peeped at Susie's fully-scribbled notebook and he wanted to cry. He was going to be a runner the whole day again.

Early the next morning, Fade waited at the entrance of Susie's hotel. After she got into the car, she pointed at a place she had found and said, "Here." Fade looked at the name. "Scarlet Spirit Temple," he muttered, "Where's this place? You gave me a schedule yesterday, but it wasn't on the list."

"My friend recommended this to me yesterday. She said that she had been there before and the place is not bad. The Buddhas in the temple are known to be very effective," Susie explained as she closed her notebook and patted Fade on the shoulder.

"You still believe in all that?" Fade asked.

"I would rather believe in something than believe in nothing," Susie continued, "Besides, there's no harm in just going to have a look. We can just think of it as a scenic landmark."

With that, Susie patted Fade on the shoulder harder and said, "Brother Fade, drive!"

Fade did not expect a top celebrity to have such a bold character offstage. He could not help but mutter, "I'm not your little brother."

"I'm older than you, so what else should I call you?" she glared at him and snapped, "Stop talking, little brother. Hurry up and drive. After visiting the Scarlet Spirit Temple, there are still many places I want to go to!"

Fade was speechless. He could only accept his fate as Susie's chauffeur and started driving toward Scarlet Spirit Temple.

After driving for more than an hour, they finally arrived at a hill in the suburbs of Bay City. The road was not meant for cars, therefore Fade and Susie had to carry their luggage up the hill.

The hill was not very high, but the mountainous road was rugged and difficult. After walking for more than an hour, they saw a small village in front of them.

Susie was delighted when she noticed the village and she exclaimed, "Look at the village. Scarlet Spirit Temple is behind the village. We're close, so let's hurry up."

As the two of them entered the village, they immediately attracted the attention of the villagers and the villagers came over to look.

Susie was high-spirited and she chatted with the village's elder as she walked.

When the elder learned that Susie was heading to Scarlet Spirit Temple, her face changed and she hurriedly said, "My daughter, you can't go there! You can't go to that temple."

Susie was curious and she asked, "Granny, why can't we go there? I heard that it's an old temple."

The elder explained, "That temple is very strange. It's tainted. More than a decade ago, someone in our village came back from work. As he passed by the temple, he went in and rested for a while. However, he died the next day."

"What? That happened? Could it be a coincidence?" Susie asked in surprise.

The elder shook her head and replied, "It's not a coincidence. There's really something lurking in there. Later, the village sought some Taoist priests and monks to cleanse the temple, but they didn't get to finish because they were scared away. For many years, no one dared to go near Scarlet Spirit Temple."

"My daughter, turn back now. You can't go there," the elder persuaded her.

Susie did not believe in ghosts or demons, so she smiled and assured the elder, "Granny, don't worry,

I'll be alright. My friend went there before and she was okay afterward."

"Moreover, I have a master to protect me. There shouldn't be any problems," as she said this, Susie patted Fade on the shoulder and continued, "Am I right, Brother Fade?"

Fade rolled his eyes at her but could only reply, "Yes, I will protect Miss Song."

"Granny, thank you. We're leaving now. Goodbye," Susie got up and bid farewell.

The elder was anxious as she watched the two of them make their way up the hill and she sighed, "Why don't these young people listen to me? I've told them that the place is tainted and yet they still..." Meanwhile, Fade and Susie hiked up the hill and Fade asked, "Miss Song, are you not worried about what the granny said?"

"Haha, I don't believe in demons and ghosts," Susie snorted and glared at Fade with dissatisfaction. "Don't call me Miss Song. Call me Sister Song or Sister Susie. Got it, Little Brother?" she added. Fade could not help but roll his eyes.

Susie noticed it and threatened, "Little Brother, if you don't greet me this way, I shall bully Yuri at school. I know both of you have a special relationship."

Fade wanted to cry when he spotted Susie's lively and mischievous look. "Are you even a celebrity?" he sighed.

"Are you going to greet me properly? I'll really bully Yuri," Susie retorted smilingly.

Fade was at a loss of words. He could only lower his head and murmured, "Sister Song."

"Hey, that's a good boy!" Susie chuckled and ruffled his hair with a smile, as if she was playing with a little pet.

With that, the two had fun and joked around and before they knew it, they had reached the hill behind the village.

They stood on the peak and they saw a dilapidated temple in a dense forest not far away.

They walked over and saw a plat hanging at the gate of the temple. It had decayed but they could still recognize the three words on it that read 'Scarlet Spirit Temple'.

They pushed through the rotten wooden door and entered the temple.

They stepped into a small courtyard with a dense and lush pagoda tree planted in the middle. The pagoda tree's thick branches and leaves covered most of the courtyard, completely blocking the sunlight. They looked down to notice that the granite floor was covered with moss. It was a little wet and slippery.

They walked cautiously through the courtyard and arrived at the main hall of the temple.

Compared to the ruins of the main gate, the door to the main hall was well maintained and the vermilion paint on the gate was still visible.
