Chapter 176 A Fateful Marriage 14

Ning Yan didn't care how early or late they arrived. The two of them quickly lifted the table and chairs into the trunk and then drove away.

In the evening, Xu Jinchen prepared dinner, while Ning Yan took the talisman paper she had just bought and began to draw talismans. She drew talismans very quickly, almost finishing one in the blink of an eye. Drawing talismans requires injecting spiritual power into them, and the spiritual power cannot be interrupted. It is a continuous process of injecting spiritual power, and if there is any fluctuation in the process, the talisman may be ruined.

A person with weak spiritual power may not be able to draw more than a few talismans in a day.

Others worry about not having enough spiritual energy when drawing talismans, but Ning Yan has to strictly control the output of spiritual energy. Otherwise, if the energy in the talisman is too abundant, the effect of the talisman drawn will be too good and shocking.

Xu Jinchen spent nearly an hour cooking dinner, while Ning Yan drew over two hundred talismans. "These will definitely be enough for tomorrow. I also specially drew a few talismans for finding lost items. There were so many people looking for things today. In the future, if someone is in a hurry to find something, just sell them the talismans to save them a lot of trouble."

This kind of low-level item doesn't contain much spiritual energy and is worthless.

To reiterate, she wasn't after the money, because she is genuinely, really rich!

Xu Jinchen hummed in agreement, while still deboning and peeling shrimp for Ning Yan. In any case, he couldn't eat, nor did he need to eat; his cultivation had even extinguished his appetite.

Every day, all he had to do was take good care of his wife. Well, he was almost ready to feed her himself, not because he didn't want to, but because Ning Yan wouldn't allow it.

After dinner, Ning Yan spent another half hour drawing talismans. After cleaning up the kitchen, the ghost went straight to the study and carried the person out.

His nightlife began.

The next day, Ning Yan was urgently recalled by her superiors. Two ghost kings appeared in the south of the city, and even the people of the Seven Departments suffered great losses despite having Ning Yan's talismans. Ning Yan, who was supposed to be drawing talismans at home today, was sent back to work.

The man and the ghost used a teleportation talisman to teleport to a fixed point at Wuligang, five miles south of the city.

The people from Group 3 of Department 7 were trapped here. If they had arrived any later, these four people might have lost their lives here.

Indeed, when the two appeared directly within the barrier set up by the two ghost kings, the situation for the other four was truly dire.

"You deal with them, I'll rescue the people."

After Ning Yan finished speaking, she moved the four people out of the barrier.

Xu Jinchen nodded and agreed, then immediately made his move. With his strength, he could easily handle not only two Ghost Kings, but even two or four more.

However, someone had set up an array here, which increased the strength of the two ghost kings many times over. In fact, he could have broken the array by force, but he knew that his wife was particularly interested in arrays, so he did not use the array and instead spent more time entangled with the two ghost kings.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jinchen absorbed the soul pearl that the Ghost King had transformed into, and his strength increased by a tiny bit, almost imperceptibly.

Ning Yan also revived her four colleagues. After giving each of them a talisman to remove the yin energy, their complexions visibly improved. Just then, Jin Wu arrived with his men to provide support. Ning Yan handed the men over to him and went inside to study the formation.

She had a premonition that this formation might be very, very important.

Outside, Jin Wu was questioning his four subordinates about what was going on.

"Several people from four families died overnight in this village, and they were all bled dry. The incident was reported to the local police station, who concluded that it was an unnatural death, and then it came to our hands."

After we arrived and examined the site, we found it to be filled with extremely heavy yin energy. We eventually traced it to this ancestral hall. We never imagined that the culprits were two ghost kings. If it weren't for the talismans Sister Ning sold us, we would have been dead long ago.”

Jin Wu: I've only been working for two days and I already have to give someone credit!

Just then, Jin Wu's phone rang. It was a subordinate from the Seventh Department calling. He answered, "Deputy Minister, I just found out that a similar incident happened at Wuligang sixty years ago..."

Jin Wu led his men back, while Ning Yan stayed behind and studied the formation for almost a day, finally figuring out what it was for.

She called the minister directly, "Minister, I suspect that someone has set up a formation in the human world for some ulterior motive, causing souls that should have returned to the underworld after death to remain in the human world."

The seven ministers were truly astonished. If what Ning Yan said was true, as long as the formation was repaired, would there be fewer ghosts and monsters causing trouble in the human world in the future?

"Can you destroy that formation?"

Ning Yan: "Okay, but destroying that formation requires a lot of materials, and I don't have any on hand."

"These seven departments will be preparing. Please write a list and send it to me."

Are there any other requirements? Do you need me to find someone to help you?

"No need. Once you have prepared the materials, I will calculate the time and completely destroy the formation."

"Ning Yan, tell me, what is the purpose of the person who created the formation leaving the ghost in the human world?"

"There are many possibilities. The simplest one is that ghosts can support many sects and families."

You should know that those sects and great families with cultivators have always been high and mighty.

When asked to do something, they always act arrogant and make excuses. To be honest, the people from the Seventh Special Division have suffered a lot of indignities at the hands of those cultivators.

"Furthermore, some families raise ghosts. If there are too many ghosts lingering in the human world, they will become nourishment for those ghost slaves."

"Furthermore, it is not impossible for foreign forces to infiltrate."

Some countries only feel at ease when the Flower Kingdom is in chaos.

The minister remained silent. "I will prepare the things as quickly as possible. You should try to destroy that formation as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Yan sent over the items she needed.

Then, we went back to the city for dinner and rushed to the square at 7:30 to set up a fortune-telling stall.

Today was different from yesterday; they were surrounded as soon as they arrived.

“Master Ning, Master Ning! It’s me, it’s me! I brought my son to thank you. My daughter-in-law gave birth yesterday. She went into labor at 6:00 and gave birth at 6:30. Thank you for reminding me to go to the hospital early, otherwise my daughter-in-law would have been on her way to give birth.”

Ning Yan looked at the other person; it was the middle-aged woman with both a son and a daughter from yesterday.

Next to him was his son, who looked to be in his thirties. He appeared very composed and had a very upright appearance.

The woman's son placed the fruit he was carrying on her table; it was all imported, so it was something presentable.

Yesterday, his mother left in a hurry and forgot to take the baby formula. He went home to get it. It was exactly six o'clock when he was coming back. There was a car accident on the road from his house to the hospital, and he was stuck in traffic. Just then, his mother called to say that his wife was about to give birth.

He was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

But I was secretly glad that I had taken him to the hospital that afternoon after listening to my mother, otherwise it would have been so much more urgent to take him to the hospital when his foot was already sore.

But half an hour later he was even more relieved; the road was still closed when his wife gave birth.

"Then congratulations! No need for the food, take it back for your daughter-in-law."

The woman's son said, "Your wisdom is amazing; you saved my wife a lot of suffering. Thank you so much."

The older woman chimed in, "Yes, yes, Master Ning, please enjoy your meal. I'll come to you again if I need anything in the future!"

The two left quickly, followed by the elderly woman who had found her grandson. She was accompanied by several people, all parents of children rescued the day before. They came to express their gratitude, and some even scanned a QR code to send her money as they left.

After seeing these people off, Ning Yan continued to tell fortunes, and soon her reputation spread far and wide.
