If I don't run, is there any other way to save my life?

After running for a while, Xiang Wan remembered that her bundle was still on the stone table in the courtyard.

Thinking about what I've earned these past few days, I'm really not happy about it.

She didn't want to live that kind of life of going hungry one day and eating another the next. She decided to go back and find an opportunity to take the things away.

After wandering around for a while, Xiang Wan carried her little apprentice and ran back.

Tu Hongye was displeased and pinched Xiang Wan's arm, saying, "Master, hurry back, I'll wait for you here."

Xiang Wan tightened her grip on his arm and said sternly, "Master and disciple must share both good times and bad times to make this relationship last. Don't quit halfway, or I'll think you're planning to betray your master and run away."

"What if you quit halfway through? Would that make you a fickle woman?"

"Study hard if you have nothing to do. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be fickle? Bah, the kind of person who would abandon his family and career? No, that's not right either. Stop talking nonsense. Even if I'm leaving, I'll take you with me. So, you're coming back with me. If you keep nagging, I'll spank you."

Tu Hongye said nothing more, only a slight blush appeared on his face, which Xiang Wan didn't notice. Even if she had, she would have thought it was just a child being shy, nothing strange about it.

The courtyard was still eerily gloomy, but the compass in Xiang Wan's hand seemed to be trembling slightly.

As she approached the corner, Xiang Wan steeled herself but didn't jump in. Instead, she banged the compass from the outside until it shook loudly.

"You Taoist priest, stop knocking! If you keep knocking, I'll rip out your heart and liver!"

Judging from the voice, it sounds like a young, unmarried woman, which is completely different from the previous shrill scream.

Xiang Wan jumped onto the wall and looked inside. When she saw what was inside, she almost fell right off.

There were no evil spirits inside; instead, there was a beautiful woman in ancient costume, eighteen years old, dressed in a red wedding gown, her beauty beyond compare.

"Little Taoist, don't be alarmed, I am not an evil spirit."

Xiang Wan thought her acting skills were pretty good, since everyone noticed that.

"Thank you for letting me out. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, it's time for me to go to the underworld."

The woman smiled serenely, her face extremely beautiful, which made Xiang Wan stare at her in a daze.

"Master, pull me up."
