Chapter 188: Encountering Li Meilin Again
Qi Rongxuan originally thought Zhuang Jiayao would be as easy to fool as she was in life, spinning around like a fool under his coaxing, and he was secretly delighted in his heart, but he didn’t expect her to suddenly strike.
Qi Rongxuan desperately resisted Zhuang Jiayao’s devouring, and in a daze, he saw the smile curling at the corner of her mouth, only then did he suddenly realize, his face twisting ferociously: “Zhuang Jiayao! You damn dare to toy with me!”
She hadn’t believed him from beginning to end!
Her only purpose was to come find him for revenge!
This vicious woman!
Zhuang Jiayao gently stroked his shattered cheek, her expression innocent: “Xuan lang, where does this come from? Haven’t I always been very obedient to you? How have I toyed with you?”
“It was you who said you wanted to be with me for life, and now, aren’t I listening to you and fulfilling your wish?” Zhuang Jiayao abruptly pulled her hand out from Qi Rongxuan’s heart, holding in her palm a pitch-black ghost heart that was thumping vigorously.
With that, Zhuang Jiayao tilted her head back and directly swallowed the ghost heart into her stomach.
Feng Jingcheng and the other three felt a sudden chill at their hearts: “!!!!”
Wei Junchen couldn’t hold back, covered his mouth and turned to vomit wildly on the side, Xiao Qidong also couldn’t hold back and retched once, Xie Yifei had already joined the vomiting ranks.
Feng Jingcheng instinctively looked toward Nan Yuanman, only to see her gazing thoughtfully at Zhuang Jiayao, her little head not knowing what it was thinking, with a look of sudden realization on her face.
Feng Jingcheng: “…”
Feng Jingcheng: “!!!”
He took a step forward, steeling himself to block Nan Yuanman’s line of sight: “Little kids aren’t allowed to see such bloody and violent scenes!”
Nan Yuanman unhappily pouted: “I’m not a little kid anymore, I’m already five years old!”
She tried to look to the left, Feng Jingcheng blocked the left, to the right, Feng Jingcheng blocked the right, blocking her entire view airtight.
Nan Yuanman sighed like a little adult: “Fine, fine, I won’t look!”
Anyway, what she needed to learn, she had already learned!
In the future, if she encountered an evil ghost, she would just dig out its heart and give it to Grandpa to eat!
Qi Rongxuan’s ghost grew even dimmer, he glared hatefully at Zhuang Jiayao, gritting his teeth and cursing her: “Vicious woman! Back then! Back then I shouldn’t have spared you, I should have… after dealing with those two meddlesome old things, killed you too!”
One wrong step led to endless mistakes, now even if he regretted it, it was too late.
Zhuang Jiayao had long been prepared in her heart, but upon hearing the confirmed information from Qi Rongxuan’s mouth, her heart still couldn’t help but ache—it was her fault, she had let the wolf into the house, which harmed Father and Mother!
Her eyes turned bloodshot, gazing at the unwilling-to-disperse Qi Rongxuan, the corners of her mouth twitching into a neurotic smile: “Then let this vicious woman tell you some good news as you dissipate.”
“The concubine you took into the estate back then, the child in her stomach wasn’t yours, and even after you died, she couldn’t wait to find a new lover—look, she and her new lover’s descendant are right there.”
Zhuang Jiayao raised her hand and pointed at Wei Junchen who was vomiting wildly.
Qi Rongxuan’s eyes widened: “What?!!”
“Damn Lin! I won’t let you go aaaaaah!!!”
Qi Rongxuan had schemed everything with all his might just for the child in his concubine’s stomach, but now Zhuang Jiayao told him it wasn’t his child!
Qi Rongxuan wailed unwillingly, his entire soul body completely devoured and exhausted by Zhuang Jiayao.
The gray mist in the room gradually dissipated, and the karma between Zhuang Jiayao and Qi Rongxuan was settled.
Nan Yuanman looked at Zhuang Jiayao standing dazed in place, her steamed bun face full of seriousness: “Alright, now your revenge is taken, sister, I’m going to send you to the underworld to receive your punishment.”
Zhuang Jiayao looked at her with some hesitation, nervously adjusting her hair, lips mumbling as she asked: “Um… after I go to the underworld, can I see my dad and mom?”
She wanted… to properly apologize to Dad and Mom.
Nan Yuanman tilted her head: “If they haven’t reincarnated, you should be able to see them, but if they have reincarnated, then maybe not.”
Zhuang Jiayao’s face showed some disappointment: “I understand.”
Nan Yuanman burned a talisman and summoned the underworld official from last time.
Accompanied by the sound of chains dragging on the ground, the figure of the underworld official Fan Wuju slowly appeared, Zhuang Jiayao’s whole body tensed, suppressing the desire in her heart to flee.
Fan Wuju greeted Nan Yuanman, then took out a small notebook and glanced at it, asking her: “Zhuang Jiayao?”
Zhuang Jiayao nodded nervously: “It’s me.”
“Come with me, your parents from your previous life waited for you in the underworld for a long time.” Fan Wuju tucked the small notebook into his pocket.
Zhuang Jiayao’s eyes widened slightly, she became even more nervous, constantly fiddling with her hair, asking incoherently: “Underworld official sir, my—my dad and mom are really still waiting for me?”
Fan Wuju impatiently: “Why ask so many questions? Just come down with me and see for yourself.”
Zhuang Jiayao nodded repeatedly: “Okay, okay, I’ll go with you.”
She solemnly bowed to Nan Yuanman: “Little Immortal Aunt, thank you, and… sorry for causing trouble to your friends.”
Zhuang Jiayao glanced at Wei Junchen and said softly: “Your friend has a bit of an unlucky destiny, better have him play fewer supernatural games in the future.”
Nan Yuanman nodded with a steamed bun face full of helplessness: “I’ll pass it on to him.”
Nan Yuanman, as usual, burned three jin and six liang of paper money for Fan Wuju, lit three sticks of incense for him, then also burned some for Zhuang Jiayao to serve as road money for going to the underworld, and waved her hand to bid her farewell.
Zhuang Jiayao’s hands were bound with chains, she followed step by step behind Fan Wuju into the pitch-black thick fog, with every step, some changes occurred on her body.
First, the big red wedding dress turned into a pink qipao, her disheveled hair was combed into a young girl’s bun, and that horrific face slowly restored to its original state.
In the blink of an eye, the wedding dress ghost Zhuang Jiayao turned into a pretty and lively little girl, she couldn’t help bouncing with each step, as if the path she was heading to wasn’t the road to hell, but the road to her happy new home…
–
Feng Jingcheng only felt his vision go dark, and when it cleared again, Zhuang Jiayao and Qi Rongxuan were gone.
He looked at Nan Yuanman: “What about that female ghost?”
Nan Yuanman put away the incense burner into her small shoulder bag and casually answered him: “She’s gone to where she belongs.”
Where she belongs… that was… the underworld?
So just now, he had been blinded by the underworld official?
The trio who had been vomiting their guts out asked dizzily: “Gone where?”
Nan Yuanman: “The underworld!”
Wei Junchen shuddered and snapped awake: “That annoying wedding dress ghost is gone?!”
Nan Yuanman glanced at him: “You cursed her, be careful she comes to find you at night!”
Wei Junchen quickly made a zipping motion over his mouth: “I was wrong, she’s not annoying, she’s the number one peerless good person in the world—oh no, good ghost!”
Nan Yuanman huffed twice, patted her small shoulder bag, hopped down from the sofa with a heave, clapped her hands, and gave Wei Junchen a two-finger sign: “Matter resolved, that will be two…”
“Two million, right? Master, give me your card number, I’ll transfer it to you now.” Wei Junchen didn’t dare delay and quickly spoke up.
Nan Yuanman swallowed the two wan that was on the tip of her tongue, nimbly gave him the card number, and upon hearing the sound of money arriving, her entire steamed bun face bloomed with joy.
Nan Yuanman gave Wei Junchen a sun gathering talisman and a protective amulet: “Wear these two talismans on you for this period, get more sun, do good deeds, then on the next new moon and full moon days, burn some paper money for Zhuang Jiayao, and that will settle the karma between you.”
“Also, never play supernatural games again, I can save you once, but not a second time.”
Wei Junchen nodded obediently: “I won’t, Master, I will never play that damn supernatural game again.”
If he played again, he’d be a dog!
With the matter resolved, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
Nan Yuanman’s stomach started growling, so Feng Jingcheng and the others simply took her downstairs to the breakfast shop for breakfast.
The morning air was exceptionally crisp, carrying a faint fresh scent of grass and wood, mingling with the aroma of food to create a special worldly flavor that unknowingly calmed the mood.
Nan Yuanman held a steamed bun almost as big as her face and took a bite, chewing hard when she inadvertently saw a slender woman passing by outside.
Nan Yuanman looked at this woman shrouded in black clouds over her glabella and let out an eh, calling out to her: “Auntie Li?”
Earlier when she and Brother Shi Mian helped her child exorcise the ghost, her glabella only had vertical lines, how come after half a month, her entire face was shrouded in bad luck?
