"What the hell?" The old woman exploded, pointing at Nan Yuanman and saying rudely, "You're sending a baby who hasn't even been weaned yet to exorcise evil spirits for my grandson? Master Zhang! Are you kidding me!"
This little girl looks only five years old! What could she possibly know?
That's utterly absurd!
The old woman didn't dare vent her anger on Zhang Shimin, so she turned to the woman who was wiping the water droplets off her clothes and started yelling: "You good-for-nothing! I said before that young people can't be trusted! But you insisted that he was from the Sanqing Temple and therefore reliable! And now?"
"Just moving a grave caused my grandson so much suffering! And you even hired a kid to help out like it was a game! My son is incredibly unlucky to have married you!"
The woman kept her head down, dealing with the water stains on her body without saying a word. The boy hiding behind her watched Nan Yuanman warily, not daring to utter a sound.
Zhang Shimian's face darkened as she continued to hurl increasingly offensive insults. He couldn't help but speak up: "Aunt Luo, please be reasonable. I told you when we moved the grave that Mr. Luo was born in the Year of the Ox, and people born in the Years of the Sheep, Dog, Horse, Tiger, and Monkey shouldn't be present. You didn't listen and secretly brought Luo Yang to the site so he could watch the spectacle."
"His current state is your fault, what does it have to do with Miss Li? Besides, if you really don't want my help to get rid of the ghost on Luo Yang, then I'm not going to serve you anymore, you can find someone else!"
After saying that, Zhang Shimian angrily pulled Nan Yuanman and turned to leave. Li Meilin quickly said, "Mom, say less! Master Zhang, please wait! My mom, she... she meant no harm."
"She said that because she was overly worried about Yangyang, and also..."
She looked at Nan Yuanman and pursed her lips: "Your... friend, she really doesn't have much credibility."
"Believe it or not, but if you keep dragging this on, this young man's lost soul will never come back."
Nan Yuanman crunched on his lollipop, tilted his head, pointed at the boy hiding behind the woman, and spoke.
Finally, she looked at Zhang Shimian and said, "Brother Shimian, you're mistaken. The one possessing him isn't a child, but the soul of an adult. And this adult has been dead for almost fifty years."
Zhang Shimian: "?"
He turned to Luo Yang in disbelief: "Did I see wrong? But when I opened my eyes last time, I clearly saw a child's ghost possessing him!"
How could it be an adult?
Li Meilin's pupils contracted slightly, and she whirled around to look at Luo Yang, who was hiding behind her. The old woman also looked astonished: "What?! Not a child?!"
“Perhaps, Brother Shimian, have you heard of dwarfism?” Nan Yuanman said, “My grandfather and I once dealt with a client who had dwarfism. After he died, his soul did not return to an adult form; it remained the form of a child he had in life.”
"In addition, ghosts are much purer than human bodies, making it difficult for many colleagues to distinguish them from the ghosts of children."
Therefore, it is understandable that Zhang Shimian would admit his mistake.
Li Meilin's face turned pale instantly, and she couldn't help but move a little further away from 'Luo Yang'. Her body trembled slightly. No wonder she had found Luo Yang lying next to her and touching her chest every time she woke up these past two days...
She thought that the child possessing Luo Yang's body had died too young and was still dependent on his mother. In addition, since it was her child's body, she was afraid that resisting would anger the ghost and thus harm Luo Yang's body, so she indulged him more.
Who knew that the one possessing Luo Yang's body wasn't a child! It was an adult!
Luo Yang's expression shifted, his once pure eyes gradually turned lifeless, and his face darkened. He stared intently at Nan Yuanman and let out a strange laugh.
A hoarse, middle-aged male voice slowly rang out: "Your skills are indeed higher than that young man's."
Zhang Shimian's face flushed red, and Nan Yuanman nodded generously: "Thank you for the compliment."
"So, Uncle, how can you get away from him?"
"Child, why should I leave? Before I died, I was starving and cold. Now I not only have enough to eat and wear, but I also have endless money and women to touch me. What good would it do me to leave?"
Luo Yang dropped the pretense, spread his hands, and said arrogantly, "Besides, this is something the Luo family owes me!"
"Child, this is a matter between me and the Luo family. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"
“You’re right, I really can’t interfere with the karma between you.” Nan Yuanman nodded, agreeing with his words.
Li Meilin panicked: "Little Fairy..."
Before she could finish speaking, Nan Yuanman said again, "What does the Luo family's debt have to do with this young man? If you're so capable, go directly to the creditor!"
"You're just too scared to go to him, so you're picking on the weak."
"I like to pick on the weak, you know," Nan Yuanman said, pulling a talisman from her small bag and holding it between her fingers. Her large eyes stared intently at Luo Yang. "So you'd better get out of my body while I'm talking to you properly, or else..."
"Don't blame me for pinching you!"
When Nan Yuanman took out the talisman, Luo Yang sensed a threat from it, but he was unwilling to leave just like that.
The world is so wonderful now, with so many delicious foods and fun things to do. He hasn't enjoyed it enough yet, so he's reluctant to leave.
Luo Yang's eyes darted around, and he turned to walk towards the old woman. His aged middle-aged voice regained its clear, youthful tone, and it even trembled with tears: "Grandma, save me!"
The old woman was initially a little scared when she heard Nan Yuanman say that, but when she heard her grandson crying, she felt a pang of heartache and stepped forward to protect him behind her: "I'll stand right here! Let's see who dares to hurt my grandson!"
"Master Zhang! We agreed before that even if you drive away the ghost from my grandson's body, you can't harm him! If you dare to hurt him, I... I'll fight you to the death!"
Luo Yang, hiding behind the old woman, gave Nan Yuanman and Zhang Shimian a provocative smile.
Zhang Shimian's temper flared up instantly. He pointed at the old woman, opened his mouth, and almost uttered a curse.
Nan Yuanman glanced at her, nodded, turned and left, chattering, "Oh, then you can continue to be so affectionate with this ghost. Anyway, in the end, it's you who will cause your little grandson to die, not me."
"I'm not the one who's caused trouble for the Luo family. Anyway, you can take responsibility for all the debts; it has nothing to do with me."
Li Meilin panicked: "Mom! Don't make things worse! Master, Little Fairy, don't be angry! Don't worry about her, just do whatever you want to him! I won't stop you! Even if Yangyang gets hurt, I won't blame you!"
As she spoke, she was about to step forward and pull the old woman away when 'Luo Yang', who was hiding behind the old woman, suddenly attacked. He took out a fruit knife from his pocket and held it to her neck.
The old woman screamed in fright, "Yangyang!"
Luo Yang stared lifelessly at Nan Yuanman and Zhang Shimian: "Neither of you come any closer! Otherwise, I'll..."
"What do you mean, you little grass! Get him!"
Nan Yuanman was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so she took out a small grass and threw it at him.
Luo Yang's pupils contracted, and he decisively stabbed the fruit knife in his hand towards the old woman's neck. At the critical moment, Zhang Shimian threw a talisman into his hand.
As the talisman touched his skin, it emitted layers of black energy. 'Luo Yang' cried out in pain and quickly released his grip on the fruit knife.
At the same time, the grass had already landed on his head. He tore off the talisman that Nan Yuanman had stuck on her back and slapped it onto 'Luo Yang's' forehead.
Luo Yang rolled his eyes and collapsed limply to the ground.
A cloud of black mist, indistinct in shape, burst forth from his body, causing the light in the room to dim abruptly and the ghostly aura to surge.
The figure roared angrily and charged straight towards Nan Yuanman: "You meddlesome brat! You ruined my plans! I'll kill you!"
