Ye Xiaoman is a famously honest person in the cultivation world. She is loyal and reliable, dedicated to her work, and always shows concern for every handsome young man.
After her undercover ...
Chapter 533 Turn around and leave
Sometimes a woman needs a space to be alone, temporarily put aside the burden of men and family, watch people coming and going on the street, and savor the loneliness of life.
Ye Xiaoman sorted out her recent experiences. She felt that she had had enough of the ghost world. If she stayed any longer, she always felt that something would get out of control. There was even a wanted poster for her on the billboard of the tavern, and it seemed that she would be caught if she was not careful.
She had managed to talk to Zhu Chuideng, and wanted to ask him to open the gates of hell and let her go because of their past friendship.
She took out her communication magic weapon and then remembered that she had not had time to add Zhu Chuideng's contact information.
She looked around furtively and found that no one was looking at her. She took out Zhu Chuideng's ashes from the storage bag and held them in her palm to examine them.
It is a very simple urn.
The lid cannot be unscrewed, and there is a concave area on the surface of the bottle. It seems that some token needs to be stuck on it to activate the switch to open the jar.
Ye Xiaoman bent her fingertips and tapped the urn, lowering her voice and calling, "Master Ghost Master?"
No response.
Attempt to establish contact failed.
She could only wait for Zhu Chuideng to come to her in person.
"I thought I was mistaken."
"It turned out to be Foreman Yin."
Ye Xiaoman quickly took the urn back, and the empty chair opposite her table was rudely pulled away by several hands. A ghost claw slammed the table hard, making the chopsticks jump. Several drunken ghosts came uninvited and sat down in front of her.
Ye Xiaoman recognized the bald male ghost with triangular eyes in the middle as her colleague at the mine, Foreman Qiu.
Foreman Qiu has a deep-rooted discrimination against Ye Xiaoman, a human being. He is jealous of the manager's appreciation of her and often makes things difficult for her in front of the manager. Ye Xiaoman is very busy and has no time to care about him. She just treats it as a toad making noise, and the two have not had any direct conflict so far.
Ye Xiaoman drank calmly without even raising her eyes.
Foreman Qiu took out a Miao Dao from his arms, and with the help of the light from the hotel's magic lighting, he pulled out the blade and admired the patterns on it.
The Miao Dao is simple and ancient, with a silver butterfly chain tied to the handle as decoration. It shines brightly under the light and is very beautiful. It is obviously a top-quality treasure at first glance.
Ye Xiaoman recognized that this was Yue Mushan's short knife, which he usually wore on his belt as a self-defense weapon.
Ye Xiaoman looked at Foreman Qiu coldly, waiting for him to bark.
Foreman Qiu finally attracted Ye Xiaoman's attention. With the support of other ghosts, he put his legs on the table where Ye Xiaoman was eating, with his dirty soles facing Ye Xiaoman's food and wine.
"Why did Foreman Yin leave your cat demon at home and come out to eat alone?"
He clicked his tongue and shook his head, "The cat demon mortgaged his precious sword to me in order to buy the spot with me."
Ye Xiaoman put down her chopsticks: "Is that so?"
Before Foreman Qiu saw Ye Xiaoman make a move, his hands suddenly felt empty and the Miao Dao was already in Ye Xiaoman's hand. Ye Xiaoman checked it and naturally put it in her arms.
Foreman Qiu's face turned the color of liver, and his jaws clenched. "You dare to snatch my knife?"
Ye Xiaoman shrugged: "I canceled the order and got a refund, how can that be called robbery?"
Foreman Qiu put his feet back on the ground and slammed his fists on the table. There was a loud bang, and the waiter who was about to add more tea was so scared that he didn't dare to come over. He punched again, and sawdust flew everywhere, and the table was broken into pieces. "I've disliked you for a long time, and today I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
Ye Xiaoman just watched the toad go crazy quietly, feeling a little annoyed that she was going to beat the pig-headed man with her good hands.
Foreman Qiu was swearing and stretched out his hand in front of Ye Xiaoman, trying to grab her collar.
Ye Xiaoman made hand gestures and was about to use the escape technique.
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual power came over them. Both Ye Xiaoman and Foreman Qiu were suppressed by this sudden force. Their hands and feet felt as heavy as if they were stuck in a quagmire. Their movements seemed to be slowed down by 0.5 times, as slow as those of an elderly person.
Ye Xiaoman's pupils dilated uncontrollably, and a bloody murder drama appeared in her eyes: Foreman Qiu's head was cut off by an invisible force, his body and ghost core were crushed together, and a stream of black blood spurted out and sprayed in all directions.
The several ghost soldiers near Foreman Qiu had no time to dodge and were sprayed all over their heads. Ye Xiaoman was about to avoid it with disgust, but an invisible barrier rose in front of her, blocking the filth out.
Foreman Qiu's head flew past Ye Xiaoman's right side. Ye Xiaoman turned her head following the flight path of the head and saw a black chess piece that fixed the head on the wall behind her.
But in just a few breaths, the lively foreman Qiu turned into a dead ghost.
The ghost who came with Foreman Qiu howled like a ghost: "Cherry Sauce, you actually dared to kill Foreman Qiu, you are finished, you are really finished now!"
"Do you know Foreman Qiu's identity?"
"He said he was a relative of the Ghost General!"
They could only howl and were afraid to attack Ye Xiaoman. This human was too terrifying. Before they could even see how she attacked, Foreman Qiu was scared to death.
Ye Xiaoman felt the need to salvage the situation, and raised her hand dryly, "There must be some misunderstanding..."
"Wait for death, we will go tell the Ghost General now!"
The ghosts didn't even dare to take off Foreman Qiu's head, and ran away quickly with the photo ball.
The tavern owner and the drinkers huddled far away in a corner, not daring to intervene in the fight between the ghosts. Ye Xiaoman hurriedly chased after them, trying to stop them.
The steward had already told her to keep a low profile. If she was reported to the ghost general, her identity would be easily exposed after a thorough investigation.
Ye Xiaoman ran a few steps and suddenly remembered that she should first find evidence at the scene to prove that she was not the one who killed Foreman Qiu.
She looked back.
A dark blood moon hung high in the sky, the streets were illuminated by clusters of ghostly green lights, resentful spirits wandered in the corners, and the long street was shrouded in the blue velvet night.
In this lonely atmosphere, a man in purple stood at the door of the pub where Ye Xiaoman had just been drinking.
He was holding an umbrella and a pot of snow-white orchids in one hand. His purple clothes were luxurious and the orchids were elegant. He stood slowly, like a god.
The ghosts and monsters that drifted past him were made to look ten times more vulgar and ugly by his brilliance.
Ye Xiaoman met his eyes and immediately knew who the murderer was.
"Abao."
The man's smile was gentle and elegant, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Ye Xiaoman had no expression on her face: "..."
Ye Xiaoman was very aware of being someone who had run away from marriage, so she immediately turned around and left.
I'm going to die. Why is Ji Wenyi here?
Ji Wenyi glanced calmly in the direction where the ghosts left.
In the darkness, dozens of secret guards left silently.
"Abao, I've had such a hard time finding you."
The faster Ye Xiaoman walked, the faster the footsteps of the person chasing her became. She could hear the jade pendant on the person's waist tapping lightly, and the sound of the jade pendant was as clear as mountain spring water washing over stones.
Speechless, she used the escape technique taught by Jing Zhui, but Ji Wenyi was able to catch up with her, and not only that, he also entangled her even more tightly.
