Rosie was overjoyed and quickly ran inside.
Just as Brother Wang was about to follow, but he didn't kowtow, the door slammed shut again, blocking him outside.
"Sissi! Sissi, are you alright?"
A sense of unease washed over Brother Wang.
Rosie replied, "Brother Wang, I'm fine. Wait for me outside, I'll be out in a bit!"
"Then be careful!" Brother Wang shouted a warning.
After Rosie went inside, the dilapidated temple quickly fell silent.
Xia Yaojia didn't come out either.
Since Brother Wang couldn't find anyone and couldn't get in, he could only squat outside and smoke.
What he didn't notice was that the little paper figure slipped out of his pocket and then slipped back in through the crack in the dilapidated temple door.
Although this dilapidated temple looks eerie, there is actually no fox spirit here.
The little paper figure sensed neither demonic nor celestial energy; this was an abandoned fox spirit temple.
Since fox spirits don't exist, the idea that Xia Yaojia used the power of fox spirits to become beautiful also doesn't exist.
The little paper figure crawled inside and got a clear look.
Besides Xia Yaojia and Luo Xi, there was also an old woman in a wheelchair inside the dilapidated temple.
The old woman's eyes were grayish-white, like a blind woman's, yet she could see; it was quite eerie.
Xia Yaojia stood next to the old woman. She hadn't gotten thinner or prettier; everything that had just happened was a facade put on for Rosie's benefit.
At this moment, Rosie lay on the ground, unable to speak or move, like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Rosie glared at Xia Yaojia.
Xia Yaojia smiled, slowly walked over, and pinched her cheek:
"Rosie, are you trying to hit me?"
"Too bad! You can't move now, so I'm the only one who can beat you up!"
After saying that, Xia Yaojia slapped Rosie hard across the face.
A crisp slap rang out, and Xia Yaojia immediately felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure.
"So this is what it feels like to hit someone!"
No wonder you like hitting me so much!
Xia Yaojia burst into laughter, and after laughing, she slapped Luo Xi a few more times. She only stopped when she saw that Luo Xi's face was swollen.
Rosie couldn't believe that the Xia Yaojia in front of her was the same timid, cowardly, and submissive Xia Yaojia she knew.
She forced out a few words from her throat:
"You... lied to... me..."
Xia Yaojia sneered:
"Yes! I lied to you! That diet pill was a lie, and the fox spirit thing was a lie too!"
"Rosie, you didn't expect this, did you? From the moment you stole my breakfast, you had already fallen into my trap."
"Even if you had eaten something, the clothes wouldn't have torn. I tore them on purpose so that you would take the diet pill and believe that I have a way to make you thinner and more beautiful."
An old woman in a wheelchair glided over and said coldly:
"Yaojia, why are you wasting your breath talking to her? Let's get started!"
When Rosie saw Xia Yaojia's grandmother, her eyes widened even more. She tried desperately to make a sound, but her voice was very weak.
The old woman smiled and said:
"Are you trying to say, 'You saved me, paid my medical bills, and I can't let you suffer!'"
“Ah…” Rosie nodded with difficulty, her eyes filled with accusation.
"Rosie, do you really think you can get away with what you've done?"
The old woman's eyes suddenly turned cold:
"Wasn't that the car that hit me yours? Did you think that by bribing someone to take the blame for you, the truth would never be known?"
"You paid for my surgery just to ease your conscience. If that were all, it would be fine, but how have you treated my Yaojia all these years?"
"You took advantage of her kindness, making Yaojia think she owed you, so she dared not resign and let you treat her like a dog, beating and scolding her. You didn't treat her like a human being at all!"
"If she hadn't overheard your conversation with someone else and learned the truth, her life would have been ruined by you!"
"How can someone like you deserve this glamorous life?"
The old woman was so angry that her body was trembling.
Xia Yaojia walked over and gently hugged her:
"Grandma, it's all in the past! From today onwards, everything will change!"
After saying that, Xia Yaojia walked over to Luo Xi and pulled her up.
Rosie tried to struggle, but she had no strength at all and could only let Xia Yaojia drag her along.
Xia Yaojia dragged Rosie into the dilapidated temple, asking as they went:
Are you curious about what I want to do?
"It's okay! Don't be curious! You'll find out soon enough!"
Behind the dilapidated temple was a room. Xia Yaojia dragged her inside, where many candles were burning.
There seemed to be some array patterns engraved on the ground. The little paper figure quietly followed and took a look. The array was not simple.
The blood traced the patterns of the formation, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.
The little paper doll relayed what was happening here to Lu Qing in real time.
Upon seeing the array pattern, Lu Qing's eyes narrowed immediately.
This is a soul-shifting formation, and a modified one at that.
Ordinary soul-swapping arrays can only move a person's soul out of their body, but this modified soul-swapping array can swap the souls of two people.
Xia Yaojia wants to switch identities with Luo Xi!
Lu Qing immediately urged the little paper doll to go and stop them.
Xia Yaojia has no problem wanting revenge, but the method she used was wrong.
If this formation succeeds, Xia Yaojia will inevitably suffer a backlash from it in the future.
She was the victim, and she shouldn't have put herself in an even more painful situation in order to seek revenge.
But perhaps it was fate that the little paper doll was too far away from Lu Qing, and the power that Lu Qing gave it was much weaker than before.
Therefore, when the little paper figure made his move, he failed to strike and was instead discovered by the old woman.
"who!"
The old woman turned her head and saw the little paper figure, and immediately narrowed her eyes:
"Paper doll magic! Is it a Taoist priest from Maoshan?"
The little paper figure turned to leave, but was drenched in black dog blood splashed by the old woman.
Black dog blood has no effect on the paper doll, but it can melt the talisman on its body. Once the talisman is melted, the connection between the paper doll and Lu Qing will be severed.
The little paper figure desperately tried to wipe away the black dog blood, but it was too late.
Realizing that his connection with the paper doll was about to disappear, Lu Qing could only issue one final command:
"Little guy, find a place to hide, don't worry about anything else!"
If fate prevented her from saving Xia Yaojia, it means that Xia Yaojia's destiny was sealed, and no external force could stop it.
Lu Qing sighed, returned to her room, and lay down on the bed.
On Xia Yaojia's side, the formation ended in just two hours.
When she opened her eyes again, Xia Yaojia was already in the form of Rosie, while Rosie's soul had awakened in Xia Yaojia's body.
Xia Yaojia slowly got up, admiring her new body.
Although Rosie isn't exactly a stunning beauty, as a female celebrity, she naturally takes better care of herself than Xia Yaojia.
Furthermore, having followed Rosie for so many years, she has a deep understanding of all of Rosie's habits and ways of speaking.
It can be said that Xia Yaojia is the person who understands Luo Xi the most in the world.
It would be easy for her to play Rosie.
As for the real Rosie, Xia Yaojia didn't want to kill her, since she still had to suffer in her original body!
