Chapter 217 Maybe It’s Too Poor
"ah?"
She was a little confused. Although this was an apartment with one elevator per household, it was obviously not a good place to say this.
Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan was under control, Zhang Nuannuan hurried over, opened the door and invited them in.
"Please sit down. Please sit down."
She first asked Qing Yanrou to sit on the sofa, and then asked cautiously:
"You just said she made a deal with something unclean. What exactly did you mean?"
Qing Yanrou did not answer her, but signaled Chu Tingbai to let go of the hand that was restraining Zhou Yuanyuan.
She stood up from the sofa and frowned slightly as she looked at the girl who wanted to grab Zhang Nuannuan again because she was free from Chu Tingbai's restraint.
He released a little light of merit, reached out and grabbed her.
"ah--"
"ah--"
Two screams were heard in the room at the same time, one from Zhang Nuannuan, and the other with a hint of pain in the tone belonged to Zhou Yuanyuan.
The girl, whose face had not changed even though her wrist turned red when Chu Tingbai grabbed her, screamed in pain the moment Qing Yanrou gently grabbed her shoulder.
Looking at her distorted facial features, Zhang Nuannuan stepped back in fear and picked up a pillow beside her to block herself in front of her, as if this would give her more sense of security.
He was obviously the person she was most familiar with, but now he seemed so unfamiliar to her.
"Sister Taoist, this, this, I, my friend, will it be okay?" She asked Qing Yanrou in a crying voice.
"It's fine."
After saying that, Qing Yanrou took out a talisman to prevent her from moving. She released the power of merit from her hand and slowly placed it on Zhou Yuanyuan's forehead.
After a while, a light gray smoke came out from above her head, and Zhang Nuannuan, who was standing beside her, was stunned.
Zhou Yuanyuan's ferocious expression calmed down as the gray fog emerged, and she took back the immobilization talisman.
After her expression completely calmed down, Qing Yanrou withdrew her hand. She noticed with her sharp eyes that a thicker mist than that above her head was rising from her chest.
She reached out and took the red rope from Zhou Yuanyuan's neck, and then a pendant came out.
It was a small wooden figurine. Just when she wanted to take it and take a closer look, Zhou Yuanyuan, who had regained consciousness, pulled it back and looked at her warily.
"What are you doing?"
"How did you get this thing?"
Qing Yanrou's pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed at this time, and she asked her with a slightly frown.
"What does my stuff have to do with you? Why should I tell you?"
Zhou Yuanyuan had a bad attitude and a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Yuanyuan, are you okay?"
Hearing her tone which was much more normal than before, Zhang Nuannuan slowly put down the pillow in her arms and asked her with uncertainty.
"Um."
Zhou Yuanyuan, who had been wary of Qing Yanrou like a hedgehog, relaxed her facial expression a little after hearing her words, with a hint of discomfort.
"Nuannuan, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened to me that made me say those inexplicable things to you. I hope you don't take it to heart. You know that wasn't my intention."
"As long as you're fine, you're my friend, and that wasn't your intention. How could I be angry?"
Seeing that she had really recovered to normal, Zhang Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt relieved.
But she hadn't completely let go of her worries, and the next second she was worried again because of Qing Yanrou's words.
"Are you sure it was unintentional? You had no idea what was going to happen before the transaction?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Nuannuan, who is this person and why is he in your house?"
Zhou Yuanyuan's heart tightened, and a look of panic flashed across her face. She didn't look into Qing Yanrou's eyes that seemed to see through everything, but asked Zhang Nuannuan who was sitting in the corner of the sofa in a quick and urgent tone.
"This is the Taoist priest I invited. She was the one who helped you just now. Yuanyuan, are you not affected?" Zhang Nuannuan stared at her with a puzzled look.
"I was in a daze before and can't remember anything."
"It's okay. Why don't you take that thing off your neck first so I can see it? Maybe then you'll remember everything."
After Qing Yanrou finished speaking, she put another talisman on her body, walked up to her, and pulled off the red rope around her neck in front of her resentful and angry eyes.
This time she finally saw clearly what it was. It turned out to be an exquisitely carved wooden statue of a girl.
"Sister Daoist, what is this?"
After Zhou Yuanyuan was restrained by Qing Yanrou again and something was taken from her neck, Chu Tingbai and Zhang Nuannuan came over.
Although Zhang Nuannuan felt sorry for her friend who was unable to move at the moment and wanted to comfort her, she was a little scared when she saw her eyes that were completely different from usual.
Thinking that she was not fully recovered yet, he did not approach her, but instead went to Qing Yanrou and asked what that thing was.
Qing Yanrou felt a little power of faith from it, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then gave it to Chu Tingbai.
He took it and looked at it carefully, and was a little surprised. Was he trying to practice through the power of faith?
But the power of its faith is not pure.
"That's one of the reasons your friend isn't normal. She made a deal with this thing."
"Ah? And this?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Nuannuan looked at the ordinary little pendant in disbelief, which was made of a piece of wood.
When I read novels and watched TV before, weren’t the people with special abilities all wearing jade pendants or something like that?
"Maybe the people behind it are too poor to use jade, so they made this out of wood."
Zhang Nuannuan didn't expect that she had just said what she was thinking, nor did she expect Qing Yanrou to reply to her.
"Then why did she make a deal with this thing? How did she do it?"
"You'll have to ask your good friend about that."
After saying that, he took off the talisman on Zhou Yuanyuan's body.
“Give it back to me!”
Zhou Yuanyuan, who had just regained her freedom, just wanted to get the little figurine back in her hand.
"ah--"
She never expected that as soon as she reached out her hand to Qing Yanrou, Chu Tingbai grabbed her arm tightly and she couldn't move.
When she was unconscious just now, she didn't feel any pain when her wrist was grabbed.
But at this time she had returned to normal, and Chu Tingbai grabbed her twice in the same place, which hurt so much that tears suddenly burst out of her eyes.
Seeing how painful she looked, Zhang Nuannuan also wanted him to relax, but thinking about her friend who was completely different from usual today, she still didn't say anything, but just looked at Qing Yanrou anxiously.
"What are you doing? I want to call the police. Nuannuan, please help me call the police. Don't you see that they are bullying me?"
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't break free from the restraints and was in so much pain that she had to urge her friend to help her call the police.
"Okay, I'll help you call the police."
