Xie Tingting screamed, "Ah! A ghost!"
She took off running, not daring to stop at all.
The student ghost never expected that a freshman's soul would react so quickly; in the blink of an eye, she had darted three meters away.
"Stop right there!" the student ghost shouted angrily and quickly chased after her. He had gone to great lengths to lure and kill someone, so how could he possibly let her go so easily?
Once he eats her, his soul, which was injured by the short, gourd-shaped talisman, will be restored, and he will have more power to lure and kill that man with a noble destiny!
"I'm not an idiot! How could I possibly stand still!" Xie Tingting yelled, not daring to stop for a moment.
Just then, Captain Xu arrived with his men and bumped into Xie Tingting.
Xie Tingting couldn't stop herself, and her entire soul passed through.
Xie Tingting: "!"
Captain Xu felt a chill run through his body and subconsciously looked around at his surroundings, but found nothing unusual.
"Captain, what's wrong?" asked the accompanying police officer.
"It's nothing." Captain Xu shook his head and continued walking forward.
Xie Tingting stood there dumbfounded, staring at her transparent hands. What... happened to her?
Behind her, the student chased after her menacingly: "Hmph, let's see where you think you can run to!"
"Alright! I finally caught you! Let's see where you can run this time!" A clear, childish voice suddenly rang out, startling the student ghost who was running towards Xie Tingting.
He stared in horror at Nan Yuanman, who was rushing towards him with a copper coin sword in his hand: "It's you again!"
The student got angry: "You brat! Why are you picking on me?!"
"Because you've harmed people, I have to take you down!" Nan Yuanman snorted, and with a stomp of his foot, his short figure shot towards the student ghost like a cannonball.
The student looked fearfully at the copper coin sword in her hand, gritted his teeth, and turned to run: "Adults don't fight with children! You just wait! I'll be back!"
His soul was still injured, so a direct confrontation was not a good idea. Moreover, the strange little ghost gave him a dangerous feeling, so it was better to be cautious.
It's such a pity, he just lured and killed a fresh soul... Damn it! I'll definitely get my revenge on that brat next time!
Nan Yuanman got anxious and chased after him with all her might, her short legs shouting, "I'll fight you! I'm just a kid! You're not easy to bully! Don't run away!"
So, the people who came to watch out of curiosity because of the screams saw a cute little child holding a miniature toy-like copper coin sword, running like a whirlwind, chasing after something with great effort.
But when they looked ahead, they didn't see anything.
Some people couldn't help but laugh: "So immature at such a young age, he'll definitely be a great anime/manga fan when he grows up."
A boy in a high school uniform standing next to him spoke quietly: "Didn't you adults say that children's eyes are pure and can see things that adults can't? Maybe... she saw something, and that's why she's chasing after it?"
Upon hearing his words, the adults around him felt a chill run down their spines.
The old man standing next to the boy raised his hand and flicked him on the head: "What nonsense are you spouting! If you keep scaring people like this, I'll knock your head off!"
Boy: qAq
Nan Yuanman also wanted to throw the talisman, Xiaocao, and Zhuangzhuang directly, but her grandfather had told her not to show off her extraordinary abilities in crowded places, as it could easily cause panic.
So she could only grab the inconspicuous copper coin sword and chase after it with her legs.
The student ghost ignored her words and its soul quickly disappeared into the surrounding crowd, rapidly fading into a phantom.
Just as his soul was about to completely disappear, Nan Yuanman gritted his teeth, grabbed a talisman folded into a triangle from his cloth bag, and threw it out forcefully.
The talisman disappeared into the student ghost's soul.
That was a tracking talisman she drew after returning to the Jiang family. With it, she could find the student ghost no matter where he hid.
The moment the student ghost slipped away, Xie Tingting, who had been standing there like a statue, broke down and screamed, "Ahhhhhh! God, I've become a ghost! I'm dead! I'm dead! Ahhhhhhhh!"
Nan Yuanman was startled, and the hair on his head stood up abruptly.
She turned to look at Tse Ting-ting and saw Tse Ting-ting pacing back and forth like a headless fly, her eyes fixed on her own hand, before opening her mouth wide and stuffing her hand into it.
Nanmanyuan: "!!!"
This woman doesn't look too well...
Nan Yuanman quickly ran over to stop her: "Sister, sister, calm down, you can't eat your hands."
Xie Tingting paused for a moment, looked down at Nan Yuanman, and slowly widened her eyes: "You...you can see me?"
She was completely focused on her transparent soul and didn't see Nan Yuanman chasing after the student ghost.
After asking the question, she muttered to herself, "Oh right, the old folks used to say that children have the purest eyes and can see many things that adults can't."
She looked at Nan Yuanman, a plan forming in her mind. She made a scary face at her and said, "Whoa! Little one, it's getting late. If you don't go home soon, I'm going to eat you up!"
Nan Yuanman: "..."
She sighed in an old-fashioned manner and held up the copper coin sword in her hand: "Sister, look what a great treasure I have in my hand?"
These adults are so childish! She stopped playing the funny face game when she was three years old.
Xie Tingting glanced at it with a smile.
Her smile froze, and she looked at Nan Yuanman in disbelief: "You... Celestial Master?"
Nan Yuanman nodded, her voice soft: "Mmm."
Xie Tingting: "!!!"
Who understands! The young Taoist priest in the novel was someone she actually met after her death!
Nan Yuanman stared at Xie Tingting with her clear, bright eyes for a moment, then frowned in confusion: "Sister, is there any unfulfilled wish of yours?"
This woman is obsessed with something, and the gates of hell won't accept her.
Xie Tingting quickly accepted Nan Yuanman's identity, and upon hearing this, pointed to herself: "Me?"
She scratched her head: "I don't have any obsessions."
She was not loved by her parents during her lifetime, and she lived a hard life for eighteen years because of their words, "You are the older sister, so take care of your younger sister."
Now that she's dead, her parents can no longer control or force her. She's free now, free to fly as she pleases. What obsession could she possibly have?
Nan Yuanman and Xie Tingting stared at each other, and Xie Tingting hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about... you try to help me pass on to the afterlife?"
Nan Yuanman frowned slightly, her chubby little hands forming a hand seal: "I'll try."
She recited a passage of the Rebirth Mantra in a childish voice.
Nothing happened at the scene.
Forget about the Gates of Hell, there isn't a single ghost within a ten-mile radius except for Xie Tingting.
Xie Tingting was dumbfounded: "I... I really do have an obsession."
Nan Yuanman nodded, her chubby little breasts jiggling up and down with her movements: "Yes, we have it."
"Hey! Aren't you the kid who called the police before?" A strong voice suddenly came from behind Nan Yuanman. Immediately afterwards, she felt a tightness around her neck as someone grabbed her by the collar from behind and lifted her up.
Nan Yuanman stared at the newcomer with wide, round eyes, like a frightened little animal—a young man in a police uniform.
He exclaimed, "What are you doing here? Didn't Captain Xu just put you in the police car?"
Nan Yuanman shrank her little neck, waved her chubby little paws at the young policeman, and showed a cute smile: "Good evening, policeman! I don't know how I got here. Maybe the car left me behind."
Upon hearing this, Captain Xu, who was arranging for people to cordon off the scene, turned around and happened to meet the gaze of the soft little brat.
Nanmanyuan: 0v0
Xu Jingyuan: "..."
He rubbed his forehead: "Take the person back."
He said he hated children the most!
They run off without you noticing.
The young policeman responded with a "yes," carefully held Nan Yuanman in his arms, and turned to leave with her.
Captain Xu stayed behind to maintain order and disperse the crowds who had gathered around out of curiosity and gossip.
Xie Tingting quickly followed, calling out, "Hey! Wait for me!"
Just then, Xie's family, who had been informed by the restaurant owner that Xie Tingting had an accident, arrived at the scene.
A middle-aged woman in a floral shirt wailed and rushed over, crying, "Tingting! My poor daughter! How could you be so foolish! How could you do such a thing!"
Xie Tingting's swaying motion stopped abruptly, and her pupils dilated sharply.
The middle-aged woman didn't dare lift the white sheet to look at Xie Tingting. After yelling twice, she lunged at the restaurant owner, who was standing to the side with a stern face, and shouted fiercely, "Was it you! Was it you who bullied my daughter! That made her want to jump off the building and commit suicide!"
