"I, Lu Lingling, act in an upright manner and will certainly not be afraid of slander from others."
"Even if there are some people who fabricate rumors out of thin air, I will definitely track them down to the end and will never let myself suffer any injustice."
Seeing the murderous intent in Lu Lingling's eyes, Yao Xinyu suddenly shrank her neck, but she soon thought that the Taoist priest she had invited did have some magical powers.
By then, even if Lu Lingling is not really an evil spirit, she will always find a way to make her become one.
She just didn't believe that even if Lu Lingling turned into a monster in front of everyone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would still love and protect her as much as he did now, and she didn't believe that Han Xinyu would still be close to Lu Lingling.
After hearing Yao Xinyu's explanation, the Taoist priest immediately stepped forward and sprinkled black dog blood around Lu Lingling, under the pretext of trapping the evil spirit inside to prevent the evil spirit from escaping.
Afterwards, the demon Taoist picked up the peach wood sword in his hand and surrounded Lu Lingling, muttering something like a shaman.
Seeing this, the onlookers stretched their necks, waiting for the moment when Lu Lingling appeared.
The second wife's son Lu Rong leaned close to her ear and asked, "Mom, do you think this Taoist priest is really reliable?"
"If that bitch is really not an evil spirit, then both Yao Xinyu and we will be doomed."
The second wife's face turned pale and she scolded in a low voice, "We have all seen the abilities of that Taoist priest. He must have a way to turn that bitch into a monster."
"Besides, as long as this play is finished today, we will be able to get a box of gold as a reward from Miss Yao, and then your father can buy another official position."
"I can also help you marry a beautiful bride."
After hearing what his step-wife said, Lu Rong, who was originally uneasy, instantly calmed down, and his eyes, which were almost squeezed into a slit by his fat, were full of greed.
"Okay, it's worth it to exchange this woman's life for our family's future."
Father Lu, who was standing by, was also watching the Taoist priest casting a spell with trepidation, fearing that the old Taoist priest would make a wrong move and end his own path to success.
Everyone held their breath and watched the Taoist priest light the talismans one by one. However, after a full incense stick of time, Lu Lingling, who was trapped in the black dog blood circle, did not look abnormal.
"how so"?
The old Taoist held the peach wood sword and still pretended to be calm while performing the magic dance, but he was actually very panicked inside.
He was just a charlatan who accidentally learned a magic trick that allowed him to make a lot of money in the capital.
However, this illusion sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It would fail occasionally on normal days, but for today, he had made such thorough preparations.
But why didn't Lu Lingling react at all?
"Are you capable of doing this? I've already told Sister Lingling that she's not a monster, but you insist on sacrificing your life for that little bit of silver."
"What an idiot."
Han Xinyu crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the old Taoist priest in front of her with mockery in her eyes.
The crowd watching from the side were horrified when they heard this. If Lu Lingling really wasn't some evil spirit, then why did they help Yao Xinyu humiliate Lu Lingling just now?
Although Han Xiangwen would not kill them all, he would still settle accounts with them behind their backs.
At this moment, everyone was panicked and divided into two factions. One faction helped Han Xinyu and Lu Lingling, and the other faction still stubbornly supported Yao Xinyu.
"Master, you must not lose your standards!"
After Yao Xinyu finished speaking, he secretly made a gesture of wiping his neck in the direction of the Taoist priest.
The old Taoist's palms were sweating, and he lit three rows of talisman papers in a panic.
"It's over, it's really over now."
Now that all the talisman papers have burned up, how can he continue to create illusions and deceive others?
The old Taoist sat slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, ready to die.
But at this moment, a red light suddenly appeared and surrounded Lu Lingling.
The black dog blood, which had been motionless, suddenly burst out with a fiery red light, gathered into a ball and coiled towards Lu Lingling.
At first, Lu Lingling was able to avoid it skillfully, but the red light had now turned into a long, thin thread like silk, and it was actually wrapping around Lu Lingling as if it had consciousness.
The more Lu Lingling struggled, the closer the red line on her body came.
In the end, Lu Lingling lost the ability to struggle, and beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.
Seeing this, Han Xinyu and Han Xiangwen wanted to step forward and drag Lu Lingling out, but when Han Xinyu and Han Xiangwen's hands were about to touch Lu Lingling, they were bounced away by a strong force.
"Sister Lingling"!
Han Xinyu looked at Lu Lingling, who was gritting her teeth, with concern, and secretly cursed her second brother in her heart for being a slow eater. Why hadn't he come back yet?
Lu Lingling let out a weak wail, and then in front of everyone, she turned into a black snake, struggling hard in the formation.
When the people around saw this scene, they all moved back a little in fear.
Even Lu's family was shocked by the scene before them.
The second wife was quick to react. She immediately calmed down her thoughts and started shouting loudly.
"She is truly a monster. Poor Lu Lingling passed away like this, and now a monster has come back in her appearance."
"Thank goodness, today, we finally caught this snake demon."
The onlookers who had originally turned against the group also changed their stance immediately. Some even threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Lu Lingling, shouting for her to die.
Lu Lingling felt as if her whole body was burning with pain. When she looked at her own appearance, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
"How is that possible? It's not like that. No, I'm not a snake demon."
The old Taoist wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly: "It's done, it's done."
Yao Xinyu, who was standing by, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and reveal a determined smile when he saw the scene in front of him.
"I told you, a snake demon that harms people actually wants to become the Crown Princess. Today I will get rid of this scourge for the people of Nanyu."
After saying that, Yao Xinyu snatched the peach wood sword from the old Taoist's hand and was about to stab Lu Lingling.
As long as this sword pierces Lu Lingling's skin, she will die immediately, and even jumping into the Yellow River cannot wash away the crime of being a monster.
The more Yao Xinyu thought about it, the more excited he became. He grasped the peach wood sword in both hands, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "Go to hell, you bitch."
However, before Yao Xinyu's peach wood sword fell, Han Xiangwen kicked it to the ground. The peach wood sword that had fallen to the ground was also stepped on by Han Xinyu and broke into two pieces.
"Your Highness, this Lu Lingling is a monster. Everyone is watching her today. Are you really going to disregard the lives of tens of thousands of people in the capital for a snake monster?"
Yao Xinyu covered his aching chest, his handsome face twisted into a ball.
