Yuan Qi patiently waited for the two ghosts to finish fighting, but the Feng family couldn't wait.

Madam Feng stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Young Taoist priest, you see, Lingxi has been rescued. Should we let her return to her body? If she stays outside for too long, won't her body rot?"

Yuan Qi sighed softly, "You're right, but I think she doesn't want to live anymore."

Fu Lingxi, who was in the middle of a lively fight, immediately let go. The ghostly figure walked over and bowed to Yuan Qi, saying, "Thank you, Master, for saving me. This person deceived me. She is not the goddess Jiutian Xuannv at all! Master, you must subdue her and prevent her from harming others anymore."

Yuan Qi, acting like a little adult, asked, "Why aren't you in a hurry to go back into your body? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to go back?"

Fu Lingxi glanced at her own body on the ground, showing no reluctance whatsoever, and even a hint of disgust: "I'm so ugly, nobody likes me, there's no point in me living, I might as well be a ghost and be done with it."

She touched her face and asked Yuan Qi in confusion, "Daoist, I am not an evil person, why did God give me such a big birthmark, and on my face? I feel that God has treated me unfairly. To be honest, I don't want this body, otherwise, I would not have volunteered to sacrifice myself."

"Hahaha!" Miao Xiuniang's weak soul floated over and said righteously, "Celestial Master, you saw it too, didn't you? I didn't force her; she offered herself as a sacrifice willingly. She gave me her body, and I can make the birthmark on her face disappear, making her a great beauty. Celestial Master, can I go back now?"

Yuan Qi asked her, "What do you want to do by taking over someone else's body? The person you're thinking about has already reincarnated more than ten times; you can't find him."

Miao Xiuniang's body began to churn with black energy again, and her expression turned fierce and ferocious: "Impossible! He harmed me so badly, how can he die? Even if he has to die, he should die by my hand! I must find him, I must find him! I must ask him why he treated me like this back then!"

Bai Youhui and the Feng family looked on with amused expressions, realizing that she was actually a female ghost with a story to tell.

Without Yuan Qi asking, Miao Xiuniang began to explain why she had been trapped here for thousands of years.

“My family is from Linxian County. My family runs a security escort agency. My father and I travel all over the country year-round, and we also employ many people who know martial arts to escort goods. After many years of business, my father has accumulated some wealth and bought several hundred acres of land in Linxian County. Our family’s life is getting better day by day. When I was fourteen years old, he came.”

"His name is Tan Wu. He's from Linxian County. His parents are tenant farmers, and his family is very poor. They have to work for my family every year to barely make ends meet. But he's handsome, hardworking, and has a sweet tongue. When my father has free time, he teaches him some martial arts. He's smart and diligent. My father said he's a good prospect for martial arts. A few years later, he became the most skilled among my father's men. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows his name."

“I liked him very much, so I told my dad that I wanted to marry him. My dad agreed, and we got married.”

"Not long after our wedding, the county issued a notice that the imperial court was going to hold a martial arts examination. Tan Wu told me that he was going to the capital to take the exam to become the top martial arts scholar. My father said it was a good thing, gave him travel expenses, and let him go to take the exam."

"He lived up to expectations and actually became the top martial arts scholar six months later."

Bai Youhui asked with great interest, "Now that he has become the top scholar in the imperial examination, will you and your father come to the capital with him to enjoy a life of luxury?"

"Bah!" Miao Xiuniang exclaimed indignantly, "If that's the case, how could I have been trapped here for a thousand years?"

A chilling wind blew around them, and everyone felt so cold that their teeth chattered. It was the first time they had ever talked to a ghost and listened to its stories.

Miao Xiuniang looked at Bai Youhui with intense hatred, and her gaze towards Feng Zhaolin was even more so.

Neither of them knew why Miao Xiuniang was looking at them like that.

Miao Xiuniang continued, "After he passed the martial arts examination, he sent someone to tell us to sell our family property and go to the capital. My father sold the escort agency and took me with him to the capital. Who knew that we would encounter a group of bandits on the way. They not only robbed us of our silver, but also killed my father. If my father hadn't known some martial arts and hadn't desperately protected me, I would have died then and there."

Bai Youhui was quite clever, but even he found it hard to believe: "Could those bandits have been sent by Tan Wu?"

Miao Xiuniang said, "It's him, it's him! He became the son-in-law of the Prince of Liang's daughter in the capital. He lied to the Prince of Liang, saying that he was not yet married. He sent my father and me to the capital to set a trap to kill us! We had no money and begged our way to the capital. He told me to wait for him at this Xuan Nu Temple. He brought me some delicious food, but I didn't know that the food was poisoned. When I was poisoned, he told me that he had become the princess's son-in-law and could not be my husband anymore. He was afraid that I would haunt him even after I died, so he used this kind of formation to trap me."

“I’ve been trapped in that stone coffin and can’t get out. I never thought that the formation that trapped me could help me cultivate. There are many wandering ghosts here, and I’ve eaten them all. I’ve become stronger, and if living people come, I can possess them and help them fulfill their wishes. As time went on, people came to me to make wishes every now and then. A few days ago, Fu Lingxi came and said that her husband didn’t like her, her in-laws disliked her, and she even scared her husband away on their wedding night. She wants to remove the birthmark on her face and is willing to pay any price.”

“Master, it wasn’t me who harmed her, it really was her own choice.”

Fu Lingxi nodded: "It's my own choice. I don't want to live anymore, it's meaningless. Daoist, don't worry about me, it's fine as it is."

The Feng family members became anxious upon hearing this; she didn't want to live, but the Fu family wouldn't allow it.

Madam Feng stepped forward and said, "Young Taoist priest, you are so capable, can you remove the birthmark on Lingxi's face? We are willing to pay any amount of money."

Upon hearing about the money, Yuan Qi's eyes lit up: "It's not like there's no other way."

Not to mention the Feng family, even Fu Lingxi felt that life was full of hope: "Master, can it really be removed?"

“I’ve seen the birthmark on your face. It’s actually just birth toxins. It’s not difficult to remove. I’ll prescribe a traditional Chinese medicine formula to regulate your body. You should do more good deeds and accumulate merit. It will be gone in less than a year or two.”

The Feng family immediately beamed with joy.

Even Feng Zhaolin urged Fu Lingxi, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get back into your body!"

Miao Xiuniang snorted and reminded Fu Lingxi, "They judge people by their appearance. If you're good-looking, they'll greet you with smiles, but if you're ugly, they'll find fault with you. Are you sure you want to live with a family like this? If you're willing to stay, wouldn't it be better if we cultivated together?"

Fu Lingxi dared not believe Miao Xiuniang anymore: "Aren't people all like this? They like beautiful things and hate ugly things. Sister, actually the Feng family has treated me quite well. At least they haven't mistreated me in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities. After all, it was our family that concealed the fact that I had a birthmark on my face. Our family also had its faults."
