Bi Xie calmly pulled the parasol back and left, leaving the shopkeeper speechless.

The little devil in the red bib: "Didn't you say you had a treasure? Show us your treasure."

The little imp in the green bib: "Yes, look, look..."

The little imp in the orange bib hesitated and said, "The treasure you're talking about isn't these two watermelons, is it? You were lying to us!"

Bi Xie calmly walked home. While waiting at the traffic light, she glanced in one direction and a cold smile appeared on her lips. They came pretty quickly.

The Five Ghosts, whose senses were more acute than hers, chuckled and said, "There are many of them. Your body is not as strong as it was in your previous lives. You are no match for them. You will be beaten to a pulp."

Bi Xie slipped into a large shopping mall.

Fifteen minutes later, when the Five Ghosts saw Bi Xie emerge in his new form, their mouths gaped open.

After a long pause, the little imp in the yellow bib exclaimed in shock, "What... what kind of magic is this? This doesn't seem like a head-swapping spell. Why didn't I sense any magical fluctuations at all?"

Bi Xie's lips curled slightly: "In ancient times, this was called disguise; in modern times, it's called makeup."

As they were talking, Bi Xie had already reached the bottom of the apartment building, but the girl stopped when she saw several furtive figures peeking out from outside.

The plan was quite thorough; it seems they were certain she couldn't escape.

Indeed, she really doesn't have the money to stay in a hotel now.

The land in Z City Film City is incredibly valuable, and she only had enough money in her pocket to pay a few months' rent.

Seeing Bi Xie turn and leave, the little ghosts cackled and mocked, "You're no good, are you? You still need us? That talisman you just drew was a life-saving talisman, right? It was full of the energy of heaven and earth, but with your current body and abilities, drawing that talisman is your limit..."

"You're not going to sleep under a bridge or on the street, are you? There are lots of mosquitoes and bugs there," the little devil in the red bib couldn't help but ask when he saw that Bi Xie didn't stop at the hotel.

"You're so poor, you only eat two watermelons for dinner?" The little devil in the orange bib looked disgusted.

They no longer believed that this person was sent down to earth by the Jade Emperor.

Bi Xie glanced at the sun, thought for a moment, and then hailed a car. After getting in, he searched the map and said, "To Baiyun Temple."

As soon as the girl got on the bus, the driver felt a chill run down his neck.

Startled, the driver glanced at Bi Xie strangely in the rearview mirror.

The girl had a rosy complexion and skin as smooth as a freshly peeled lychee; there was nothing wrong with her.

The driver dismissed his uneasy thoughts and started a conversation: "Going to Baiyun Temple to burn incense? Let me tell you, it's incredibly effective there. When my ex-wife and I were arguing and getting a divorce, I went to the temple and drew a fortune stick. Wow, the person interpreting it said I was destined to have two daughters. I thought, 'That's impossible!'"

"My ex-wife and I only had one son. She had a tubal ligation. After we got divorced, I met my current wife, and we had twin daughters. That's when I realized, damn, that's amazing!"

Bi Xie smiled and said, "Really? This is my first time offering incense. I don't know if it's effective."

"Of course it works!" The driver glanced at her again in the rearview mirror. "You're not a local, are you? You don't sound like one. The monk who interpreted my fortune also said that I would meet a benefactor and have good fortune before I turn 40. I wonder if it's true, hehe."

Bi Xie chuckled in response.

The driver had probably been driving all day and was really bored, so he talked a lot: "I'm 39 years old now, and I still don't know where this benefactor is. But that monk was really accurate. He said I would lose a little money when I was in my 30s. Sure enough, a few years ago I was scammed out of 30 or 40,000 yuan in an online romance."

Pfft.

Bi Xie smiled, and the driver laughed along, treating it as a funny story.

As we approached Baiyun Temple, it was already getting dark.

When Bi Xie got out of the car, the driver shivered from the cold again and muttered, "What's going on? The sun hasn't even completely set yet, why is it so cold?"

The five little devils chuckled and mischievously circled around the driver.

The driver was completely baffled.

Bi Xie rubbed his forehead and coughed lightly.

The five little devils then stopped their teasing and flew to Bi Xie's side. "The temple has Buddha's light, so we can't go in. Why did you bring us to the temple?"

Several little ghosts floated in the air, looking at the temple gate not far away, their eyes flashing with fear.

Bi Xie said, "Wait for me here."

The sun still had some lingering rays. Bi Xie handed the parasol to the Five Ghosts, glancing at the nearby jungle out of the corner of his eye. "Go wait for me over there. Don't scare people in broad daylight, or... I'll spank you when I come out."

After the girl finished speaking, she walked straight towards the temple.

The five ghosts shrank back at the temple radiating Buddhist light, then obediently hid in the nearby bushes, holding up their parasols.

I thought I would have to wait a long time, but to my surprise, the girl appeared from the temple gate just as the sun was setting.

A simply dressed monk followed behind her. The two put their hands together and said goodbye before the girl left the temple.

The setting sun painted the sky a dazzling crimson hue. The girl strolled over, and the five little devils immediately abandoned their parasols and floated over to her.

Although these five ghosts are in the form of children, they have considerable cultivation and never do anything malicious. Therefore, unless it is the scorching midday sun, they cannot be harmed.

Moreover, they often exchange lives with mortals, so they have become somewhat tainted by human nature and are no longer pure ghosts.

"You, you stay away from us!" The five ghosts floated closer and then realized what the girl was holding.

It's actually a small Buddhist prayer bead bracelet that's shimmering with Buddhist light!

The five ghosts retreated rapidly, keeping a wary eye on Bi Xie.

"Didn't you want the treasure?" Bi Xie stroked the small beads on his bracelet and said seriously, "This is a treasure bestowed by the Jade Emperor himself. If you wear this, even authentic Maoshan Taoist magic will be ineffective against you. You really don't want it?"

"Such a treasure?" The little devil in the yellow bib was tempted, but was pulled back by the little devil in the red bib, who stared at Bi Xie warily. "There is Buddha's light on this. If we touch it, we will be burned. The burn marks will not fade away in less than forty-nine days!"

The other little devils also hesitated.

Bi Xie raised an eyebrow: "Then you can take your time to think it over." After saying that, he picked up the watermelon and started walking back.

The little imp in the green bib: "Why is there only one watermelon left? Did you just sneak into the temple and steal it?"

Bi Xie didn't understand the word "stealing food". She bought a melon, what does it mean to steal food?

"It was given to the monks at the temple."

The little imp in the yellow bib stared intently at the small Buddhist prayer beads in the girl's hand. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "How about I try it?"

"Do you want to die?!" The little devil in the red bib glared at him, his eyes wide with anger.
