Chapter 104: Master, You Have To Take Responsibility For Me!
In Nan Yuanman’s eyes, the room she was pointing to was already engulfed by weird malevolent Qi that was black with strands of pink threaded through it.
The room temperature was low also because of this room’s problem.
Qiao Jin followed Nan Yuanman’s little chubby hand to look over, and when she saw clearly which room she was referring to, her whole body went numb.
The master bedroom was the place she usually lived.
Qiao Jin swallowed saliva and moved her steps closer to Nan Yuanman: “That master bedroom… what’s wrong with it?”
“That room should have a medium that was cast with sorcery to suck away fortune from Sister’s body.” Nan Yuanman said, stepping over with her short legs pattering, placing her hand on the door panel, and politely asking: “Sister, can I go in?”
Qiao Jin nodded hurriedly and quickly stepped forward to open the door for Nan Yuanman: “Of course! I’ll open it for you.”
Feng Langqing hesitated for a moment, summoned courage, and silently followed behind Nan Yuanman.
Nan Yuanman seemed to notice Feng Langqing’s nervousness, turned her head and patted his calf to comfort him: “Third Brother doesn’t need to be afraid, Yuanman will protect you, no ghosts and monsters can hurt you!”
Feng Langqing felt warmth in his heart while also finding it funny and annoying at the same time, hummed in response, and stuck to Nan Yuanman with his nerves tense.
As soon as the door opened, a very cozy young girl’s room appeared before Nan Yuanman. She roughly scanned the decorations in the room, her gaze landing on a bracelet casually placed on the dressing table.
The bracelet was strung with pink beads, with a white fox carved from jade hanging in the middle, looking pink and tender, fresh and pretty.
That white jade fox as decoration was continuously releasing malevolent Qi. The moment Qiao Jin appeared, the malevolent Qi rushed straight at her, trying to drill into her seven orifices and cut off her fortune.
Faint golden light rose from Qiao Jin’s body, blocking the malevolent Qi outside.
She, who couldn’t see the malevolent Qi, only felt a cool breeze hit her face, making her shudder involuntarily. She looked around in fear and bewilderment, not daring to enter the room at all.
Nan Yuanman’s small face turned serious, and she quickly walked to the dressing table and picked up that bracelet.
Qiao Jin nervously watched Nan Yuanman’s actions, stunned for a moment when she saw the bracelet she picked up, her eyes full of disbelief: “This bracelet… is the medium that was cast with sorcery?”
Nan Yuanman nodded: “Yes, it’s this one.”
Nan Yuanman felt around in her small shoulder bag and took out a talisman, wrapping the bracelet in it. Qiao Jin couldn’t help asking: “Could it be a mistake? This bracelet wasn’t given to me by that spirit medium; it was a birthday gift bought for me by my good friend.”
Her good friend was someone she had known since debuting together, and they had nearly eight years of friendship.
This bracelet was one she had bought the materials for and strung by hand for her.
“No mistake, this bracelet has traces of sorcery cast on it.” Nan Yuanman placed the bracelet wrapped in the talisman to her nose and sniffed. A faint incense smell mixed with fox scent floated to her nose tip.
“Before giving it to you, she must have taken it to someone to cast sorcery on it; it still has the incense smell lingering on it!”
Nan Yuanman said, handing the bracelet on her hand to Qiao Jin to smell.
Qiao Jin eagerly sniffed it, and sure enough, she could smell a faint incense smell on it. This discovery made her freeze: “How could it… how could it be her…”
At first, when telling Nan Yuanman that her good friend had found a spirit medium for her, Qiao Jin could still persuade herself that her friend didn’t know the spirit medium was bad; she was just trying to help out of kindness because she was too anxious.
But now… this bracelet completely shattered the fluke in her heart.
Feng Langqing looked at Qiao Jin sympathetically. Qiao Jin’s hand gripping the bracelet was trembling, her heart filled with anger as well as grievance and sadness from betrayal.
Nan Yuanman took the talisman-wrapped bracelet from Qiao Jin’s hand, skillfully pulling out an incense burner, a bowl of rice, and a stick of red incense.
She directly placed the incense burner and the bowl of rice on the dressing table, lit the incense and handed it to Qiao Jin: “Come, worship.”
Qiao Jin dazedly took the incense and mechanically bowed three times as Nan Yuanman instructed.
At the moment she bowed down, red threads gradually appeared in Nan Yuanman’s eyes. One end of the red thread disappeared into the void, the other connected to Qiao Jin’s back, greedily devouring her fortune and life force.
Nan Yuanman’s small face was serious as she took out a pair of red scissors, went behind Qiao Jin, and snip snip, cut the red thread.
In Feng Langqing’s eyes, his own little sister suddenly took out a pair of red scissors and randomly snipped behind Qiao Jin.
This scene was magical and weird.
Once the red thread was cut, Qiao Jin felt her body, which had been very heavy these past few days, become lighter, and her muddled mind gradually cleared up.
Nan Yuanman huffed and puffed as she cut all the red threads, then smeared the incense ash that had fallen from the incense Qiao Jin had just inserted onto the bracelet.
The originally pink bracelet instantly turned black right under the three people’s eyes, and the cute white jade fox also became terrifying and ferocious.
Qiao Jin: “!!!”
She suddenly felt chills down her spine. The thing she had worn on her hand before was such a thing?!
The white jade fox sluggishly noticed Nan Yuanman trying to break the curse, roared angrily at her, trying to break free from the rope and pounce on her, but its body was gradually engulfed by the incense ash and ultimately dissipated.
At the same time, Meng Xi, who had finished filming early and returned to her room to rest, was planning to take a bath to relax. As soon as she took a step, she tripped over the table leg, her body uncontrollably falling forward.
“Hiss—!” Meng Xi panicked and braced herself with her hand, but a stinging pain came from her ankle, making her gasp.
Meng Xi sat on the ground and hurriedly inspected the injury on her ankle; her foot was sprained and had swollen into a big lump.
Meng Xi looked at the big lump in shock, uneasily asking: “What’s going on? Why did I fall?”
Ever since she worshiped the Fox Great Immortal and invited her home, she hadn’t had any mishaps for a very long time.
Even if she accidentally bumped into something, there would always be something or someone to catch her, absolutely not letting her get hurt.
But now, she was injured.
An illusory white shadow gradually appeared before Meng Xi, with a very heavy and cold aura: “Someone stole my tribute!”
Just now, she sensed that her link to a tribute had broken.
The Fox Great Immortal furrowed her brows, her face slightly darkening. Could it be that a Taoist priest had discovered her existence? Impossible! She had been low-key and secretive lately, and with Meng Xi as a shield, those stinky Taoist priests absolutely couldn’t have discovered her!
She needed to think of a way to get more essence; she didn’t want to be sealed back into that dark and sunless place again!
Meng Xi’s face panicked, at a loss: “What do we do?”
Losing this tribute was a small matter; if she got exposed…
Meng Xi clenched her fists, anxiously saying: “Quick, think of something!”
“What can I do? It’s all because you’re trash, only able to trick one tribute a month. Now the most important thing is to quickly offer the next tribute to me!”
The Fox Great Immortal irritably said coldly: “Otherwise, the fewer tributes, the greater the impact on you, and your luck won’t be so good afterward.”
Meng Xi bit her lip tightly: “Give me three more days; in three days, I’ll offer the new tribute to you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table rang.
Meng Xi struggled to stand up and answered the call. A panicked female voice with questioning came from the other end: “Master! Didn’t you say the luck-turning bracelet would absolutely not be discovered? Now my luck-turning bracelet to her has been discovered by her! What do I do?
The fortune I stripped from her won’t be returned, right? Master, this luck-turning bracelet was bought from you! You have to take responsibility for me!”
