Chapter 971 It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away
The little weasel spoke with a flourish, but a closer listen revealed a hint of grievance in its tone.
Sister-in-law Huang pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Miss Ye, is there really no danger in worshipping it?"
Ye Wanxi glanced at the little weasel: "No, it will possess you because it feels that you broke your promise and offended it by going back on your word. If you worship it, it will no longer harm you; otherwise, it will also affect its own fortune."
"Then..." Sister Huang tightened her grip on her hand, thinking of the adorable child she had met once before, and finally made up her mind, saying, "I want to make offerings to it. Is that alright?"
Sister-in-law Huang's last words were directed at Brother Huang. Brother Huang was still somewhat wary of the little weasel, but he always respected his wife, so after thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"Are you sure? Although it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away, it's just a matter of course for me to untangle this entanglement between you today. If you're unwilling, I'll break the contract between you and guarantee that it will never appear in front of you again to harm you."
"But if you choose to worship it, you must remain faithful to it. If in the future you stop worshipping it for other reasons and incur its revenge, I will not care."
Sister-in-law Huang knew that Ye Wanxi was reminding her that worshipping such a household deity was not the same as raising a cat or dog.
Even when raising cats or dogs, you can't just keep them when you're happy and then throw them away when you're not. As for worshipping household spirits, that goes without saying.
After a long silence, Sister-in-law Huang finally nodded firmly.
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi patted the little weasel on the head and asked again, "She wants to worship you, are you willing to let her worship you?"
The little weasel was clearly interested, but when Ye Wanxi asked it that question, it snorted and continued arrogantly, "Who cares!"
Sister-in-law Huang looked to Ye Wanxi for help, but Ye Wanxi gave her a wink and didn't say anything.
Sister-in-law Huang thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "It was my fault. I shouldn't have treated what happened that day as a dream, making you wait for so long in vain. Now I sincerely want to make offerings to you. Are you willing to give me another chance?"
The little weasel wavered even more, feeling that this step was still not easy to take, and hesitated for a moment.
Ye Wanxi saw through its little scheme, chuckled, and poked its forehead, warning, "That's enough, don't push your luck. She's wrong, and you're wrong too. If we're really going to compare, your mistake is a bit bigger than hers. You've been bothering her for a week, and she hasn't held it against you and is even willing to make offerings to you; that's already incredibly generous of her."
"If you really don't want to, I'll break the contract for you right now. From now on, you can find your worshipper, and she can live her good life. We'll each be fine and have nothing to do with each other. She won't suffer any loss, but you might not. With your cunning and shortsightedness, the next worshipper you encounter might not be as kind as her. At that time, let alone worshipping you, you might even be tricked out of your shiny fur."
The little weasel's fur stood on end when it heard Ye Wanxi's words. It bared its teeth and shouted, "He wouldn't dare!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Just like you said, humans are the most selfish, hypocritical, domineering, and cunning animals. You're just an underage little demon. It's only because their family is easy to bully that you've caused them so much trouble these past few days. If it were someone more cunning and intelligent, they might sell you out and still have to count the money for them."
The little weasel was indignant, but then it realized that its life was still in Ye Wanxi's hands.
Fortunately, the Huang family didn't expect Ye Wanxi to kill it directly and were even willing to make offerings to it, otherwise it might have really gotten itself killed today.
After hesitating for a moment, the little weasel finally gave in and said awkwardly, "Since you are so sincere in wanting to worship me, I will give you face and let you worship me."
This is a very condescending statement, and of course, it would be even better if we ignored the tail that stands tall behind it.
Sister-in-law Huang was initially a little apprehensive about her decision, but seeing it put her at ease. She immediately took Ye Wanxi's hand and inquired about the specifics of making offerings to the little weasel.
This matter is actually quite simple. All you need to do is bring back a human statue, and worship it like a god or Buddha, offering it good food, dishes, candied fruits, and melons during festivals.
However, this little weasel is young, its cultivation is not high, and it is greedy. Outside of festivals, the Huang family can make offerings to it if they wish.
Of course, in return, the little weasel would grant their family some protection after accepting their offerings.
"Mr. Huang should have experienced this recently as well."
"Me?" Brother Huang pointed at himself, looking completely bewildered. "What happened to me?"
"When it first possessed Madam, it ate some of your family's food. Mr. Huang didn't feel that anything other than family matters had become smooth."
The logic of household spirits is easy to understand: if the worshipper treats them well, they will treat the worshipper well in return.
Brother Huang was stunned, and after a moment of contemplation, he realized that it seemed to be true.
The company has been unable to finalize a deal recently. The deal is quite large, and if we can secure it, the company's performance this year will be guaranteed.
Unfortunately, the person in charge of this order seemed to be taking a wait-and-see approach and didn't intend to finalize the deal so quickly, wanting to see if there were any better options.
Brother Huang had been worried about this for the past few days.
But the day after his wife started making a scene, the project manager suddenly called him and told him that the other party had somehow relented and was willing to sign a contract with them.
When Brother Huang found out, he was naturally overjoyed, but because of his wife's situation, he didn't pay attention to the matter after his initial excitement.
Now that Ye Wanxi had reminded him, Brother Huang not only looked surprised, could it really be...?
"Although it harbored resentment, it never truly intended to harm anyone."
Otherwise, Ye Wanxi wouldn't have kept it alive and kicking, and even secretly arranged for the Huang family to worship it.
"By eating your food, I consider it an offering from you, and that's how I shared a little of my own spiritual power with Mr. Huang."
Sister-in-law Huang's eyes brightened slightly, and she quickly turned to her husband to confirm, "Is that really true?"
"It seems that's indeed the case."
The little weasel glanced at the young couple and snorted.
"The feng shui of the room you two are living in is not good to begin with, and you have lived there for so long that you are bound to have picked up some bad luck, which is affecting your fortune. Now that you have this, as long as you worship it sincerely, its existence will gradually reduce the influence of this bad luck on you. After that, you will be able to get what you want and everything will go smoothly."
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Huang's heart skipped a beat, and she tentatively asked, "Miss Ye, do you mean...?"
