No matter how terrified the female ghost was, Qiqi's little feet finally stopped in front of her.
Tilting its head, its large, dark, grape-like eyes stared at her with a smile, which made the female ghost feel a chill run down her spine.
"Why are you bothering my sixth brother?" As she spoke, Qiqi waved her small hand, setting up a barrier around her and the female ghost.
So that Ji Zeqian wouldn't overhear what she said and frighten him.
The female ghost trembled with fear.
Qiqi's attack just now made her soul unstable, and she's still in pain.
The female ghost knew she couldn't afford to offend the little child before her, so she obediently replied, "Little...Little Master, I...I didn't mean to haunt him. The moment I opened my eyes, I was already here. I really didn't want to harm him, but I can't leave this room. Please...please, Little Master, let me go!"
Huh?
Qiqi glanced at her strangely and noticed that there was indeed a thin, black, chain-like thing binding the female ghost's ankle.
Because she was emanating black energy, the iron chains were not easily noticed.
Qiqi frowned. It seemed that the female ghost had been deliberately brought here and tied up.
But who exactly wants to harm Sixth Brother?
Could the person who harmed Sixth Brother be the same person who stole Father's luck and cast a curse on Mother?
Who did the Jin family offend to be so vicious?
Qiqi sighed like a little adult, then looked up at the female ghost with her cheeks puffed out.
"Since you haven't harmed anyone, I'll let you go this time."
The female ghost had no bloodthirsty aura, proving that she had not taken any lives, and Qiqi did not want to kill her.
The female ghost's face lit up with joy, and she was about to express her gratitude.
But then Qiqi said, "I'll send you to the underworld to be reincarnated."
The female ghost cried out in shock, "No, I don't want to be reincarnated in the underworld!"
"Why?" Qiqi blinked, somewhat puzzled.
The female ghost stammered, "My wish is not yet fulfilled, and I don't want to be reincarnated yet." After saying that, her ghostly eyes lit up. "Little Master, can you help me fulfill my wish? As long as you help me, I am willing to pay any price."
When she mentioned it, Qiqi remembered that there was another way to absorb spiritual energy.
That is to extract the ghostly power from the ghost and transform it into spiritual power.
However, this method requires the ghost to willingly contribute its ghostly power.
Qiqi blinked her big eyes, and the way she looked at the female ghost was as bright and frightening as if she were looking at a big chicken leg.
Are you really willing to pay any price?
For some reason, the master suddenly looked at the female ghost with eyes that seemed to want to devour her.
She swallowed hard and nodded: "Yes, I'm willing to pay any price."
"Deal!" Qiqi grinned and pointed to the red ribbon she used to tie her hair. "Come in here first, and I'll take you to fulfill your wish later."
The female ghost immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and drifted into the red string on Qiqi's little bun.
Having earned the ghost power, Qiqi was overjoyed and skipped back to Ji Zeqian's side.
Ji Zeqian remained as cold and silent as ever, even his posture was exactly the same as when Qiqi left.
When she returned, he handed her the pen, as if to say: Here, continue.
Qiqi took the pen, her big eyes darting around: "Sixth Brother, chess isn't fun, how about we play something else?"
Other?
Ji Zeqian's eyes flickered slowly, as if he was thinking about what Qiqi meant by "other things".
Qiqi continued in her childish voice, "Qiqi just played the games that Sixth Brother likes with him, and now it's Sixth Brother's turn to play the games that Qiqi likes with me."
The baby's soft voice sounded especially clear in the empty, quiet room.
"Qiqi wants to play copying, which means whatever Qiqi draws, Sixth Brother has to draw the same thing. If Sixth Brother draws it correctly, Qiqi will give him a reward!"
Baozi's bright smile, like sunshine, instantly shone into Ji Zeqian's heart, seemingly dispelling some of the darkness within him.
Ji Zeqian stared at her intently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Qiqi took it as his agreement, grabbed a pen, pulled over a piece of white paper, and quickly drew a bunch of scribbled symbols (exorcising talismans).
As the final stroke was completed, a flash of golden light seemed to appear on the paper before disappearing.
After finishing the drawing, she looked up and grinned at Ji Zeqian: "Sixth Brother, it's your turn. If you draw it wrong, there will be a punishment."
Upon hearing about the punishment, Ji Zeqian subconsciously frowned.
He lowered his eyes, staring intently at the messy lines on the white paper, seemingly analyzing how to begin writing.
Qiqi didn't disturb him. She sat cross-legged next to him and quietly sent a wisp of spiritual energy into her sixth brother's body.
The female ghost had been following Sixth Brother for some time. If it weren't for Sixth Brother's strong luck, something bad would have happened to him long ago.
Even so, Sixth Brother's body was also severely damaged by the yin energy.
This wisp of spiritual energy can nourish Sixth Brother's body.
Teaching Sixth Brother to draw talismans to ward off evil spirits can also help him dispel the corrosive evil energy.
Of course, she could also directly help her sixth brother dispel all the yin energy, but in that case, she wouldn't have much interaction with him.
She wanted to cure her sixth brother and help him get out of this predicament.
Ji Zeqian stared at the lines on the white paper for a while, then picked up a pen and began to try drawing.
But after only two strokes, he stopped, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered something that was puzzling him.
Qiqi could see his confusion, but she didn't say anything. She wanted to wait for her sixth brother to ask her for help so that she could guide him to gradually learn to express his emotions.
Ji Zeqian frowned, seemingly struggling with the pen in his hand, his fingers applying more and more force, the pen tip almost piercing the paper.
He even gradually became agitated, making "ho ho..." sounds in his throat.
Qiqi frowned, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand.
"Sixth Brother," Qiqi called out to him, reaching out to hold his hand.
Her voice was soft and sweet, and when he looked at her, a mischievous smile appeared on her little face, "Sixth Brother, do you not know how to draw?"
“It’s okay if Sixth Brother can’t draw, Qiqi can teach Sixth Brother. Just like just now, Sixth Brother taught Qiqi how to play chess.”
The little hand I was holding was soft and warm.
Ji Zeqian's eyes flickered, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Qiqi looked at him encouragingly.
But in the end, Ji Zeqian still didn't say anything.
Qiqi sighed inwardly, but she also knew that Ji Zeqian's situation couldn't be rushed.
"Sixth Brother, do you want Qiqi to teach you?" Qiqi's smile remained unchanged, and her clean and pure eyes met Ji Zeqian's eyes directly.
The little girl was fair-skinned and tender, like an adorable glutinous rice ball.
Looking at him with such a soft and gentle gaze, Ji Zeqian felt something inside him soften.
Looking into Qiqi's expectant gaze, he slowly, very slowly, nodded.
Qiqi's eyes lit up instantly, and her smile became even brighter.
That's great, Sixth Brother is willing to respond to her now.
