Taoist Wu Ya grabbed a melon seed and tilted his head towards Qiao Ruoxi: "Oh, I know this story. He's probably going to be a father."
"Becoming a father? Isn't that great?" Qiao Ruoxi looked confused.
Taoist Wu Ya chuckled, "This is not the same as being a father. It means that the female sea king is tired of playing around, or even pregnant, and wants to find an honest man as a stable meal ticket. The target group is this kind of confident man who thinks he is loved by everyone and flowers bloom wherever he goes, but in fact he is just a scapegoat, raising other people's children without knowing it."
Qiao Ruoxi nodded thoughtfully: "That's indeed a bit pitiful, but raising a child for someone else is also a kind of love, a good deed..."
Pei Yaori's eyelids twitched: "Can you guys keep your voices down when you whisper behind my back? I heard it all!"
Taoist Wu Ya coughed lightly and said, "You continue."
Pei Yaori's eyes turned red and he covered his face with his hands and started crying again.
"My mother was very angry when she found out we had secretly obtained our marriage certificate, but she eventually accepted it and gave us a grand wedding. Within a year, we had a child. I was so happy at the time and thought I was a winner in life."
"But I didn't expect that a year later, when I went on a business trip abroad, I wanted to give her a surprise and changed my flight back a day earlier. But I saw her having sex with another man, right in our marital home!"
Taoist Wuya gave Qiao Ruoxi a look: "I told you so!"
Qiao Ruoxi gave a thumbs up to Taoist Wuya.
"I exposed them on the spot and filed for divorce from that woman, but she disagreed and knelt down to beg for forgiveness. I'm a man, how could I possibly forgive her for cheating on me for so many years? So we went to court, but all we got was a one-month cooling-off period..."
"Cooling-off period?" Qiao Ruoxi looked at Taoist Wuya strangely.
"Master, this is a law introduced by China to reduce the divorce rate. After proposing a divorce, one has to wait for a month and both parties have agreed before the divorce procedures can be formally carried out. If one party changes their mind, the divorce procedures cannot be carried out." Taoist Wuya explained patiently.
Qiao Ruoxi nodded and looked at Pei Yaori: "Your wife is still the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family. So you regretted it during the cooling-off period and didn't divorce?"
"How is this possible!" Pei Yaori slammed the table and stood up.
"I couldn't get a divorce because I died in a traffic accident during the cooling-off period. She naturally inherited my estate, used my money to support that idiot man, and lived a carefree life with a child who might not even be mine!"
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
That sounds a bit miserable.
"So, what were you planning to do? Turn into a ghost and take their lives?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
Pei Yaori was stunned for a moment, but finally shook his head: "If it's just that she cheated on me and embezzled my property, I don't care anymore. After all, she was once someone I loved deeply, and I loved that child as if she were my own."
"But this traffic accident of mine was definitely not an accident. I must find out who the murderer is!"
Qiao Ruoxi understood that the man turned into a demon because he had unresolved grievances and could not enter the cycle of reincarnation.
She took out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag: "Tell me your unfulfilled wish."
"I want to find out who murdered me and see him brought to justice!"
Qiao Ruoxi's pen swished, and after she finished writing, she looked at Pei Yaori and asked, "Any other wishes?"
Pei Yaori pondered for a moment and whispered, "If possible, I want to know if Junyan is my biological son."
Taoist Wu Ya laughed out loud: "Don't you still care?"
Pei Yaori stiffened his neck and said, "I just want to know if I left any offspring. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Whether you leave behind descendants or not, you're already dead. What's the point?" Taoist Wu Ya shrugged.
Qiao Ruoxi finished writing quickly and asked Pei Yaori again, "Anything else?"
Pei Yaori shook his head: "No more."
Qiao Ruoxi tore off the page and handed it to Pei Yaori: "I can help you fulfill these wishes, but the prerequisite is that you must leave your mother and temporarily live in my gourd. I will send you to reincarnation on the day your wish is fulfilled. If you agree, sign your name, and we will have reached a contract."
Pei Yaori looked at the dimly lit notepaper, then raised his head to look at Qiao Ruoxi after a while: "Why are you helping me?"
"I just take money from people and help them get rid of disasters."
The three million deposit is now in her bank card, so she has to get things done, right?
"My brother always likes to meddle in other people's business!" Pei Yaori raised his head unwillingly, "But what if I don't agree?"
Qiao Ruoxi looked Pei Yaori up and down and said, "I guess you don't have a choice, unless you want to be wiped out right now."
Pei Yaori choked and realized that he was already a fish on the chopping board.
He gritted his teeth, picked up the pen, and signed his name.
The moment the pen fell, Pei Yaori turned into a wisp of smoke and went into Qiao Ruoxi's gourd, and the black miasma around Old Lady Pei also disappeared.
Although the remaining golden light of merit was weak, it once again protected Old Lady Pei.
Taoist Wu Ya's eyes widened: "Master, is this the end of this evil ghost?"
Qiao Ruoxi patted the gourd and said, "It's not over yet. Stay here and wait until his wish is fulfilled. Then you can let him go and reincarnate."
Taoist Wu Ya looked puzzled, and after a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke: "Master, why are you going to so much trouble to help him fulfill his wish? I've seen people on TV capture evil spirits, and they always beat them to pieces!"
"Stinking Taoist priest, shut up!" Pei Yaori's angry roar of protest came from the gourd.
Taoist Wu Ya was startled and pointed at the gourd: "Can he hear?"
"Not only can I hear it, I can hear it clearly. You stinky Taoist priest, as a monk, don't you feel ashamed to say such things?"
Taoist Wuya chuckled and said, "I'm not ashamed, but I'm a little embarrassed."
Pei Yaori:......
"Girl, you are his leader, you should teach him a good lesson, tell him what kindness and conscience are, and tell him that you help me because you have a burning heart for Taoism!" The more Pei Yaori spoke, the more he felt that Qiao Ruoxi was a good person.
Qiao Ruoxi put the gourd into her bag, took out a bag of silver needles and came to Old Lady Pei. While giving her acupuncture, she said, "Do you want to know why I helped him?"
Taoist Wu Ya noticed Qiao Ruoxi's serious expression and immediately straightened his face: "Disciple, I am all ears."
Pei Yaori smiled complacently: "Listen carefully!"
Qiao Ruoxi cleared her throat and said seriously, "Doing good deeds can accumulate merit, increase spiritual power, catch more powerful ghosts, refine more powerful pills, and make more money."
Taoist Wuya: "Yes... huh?"
Pei Yaori:? ! !
Has he boarded a pirate ship?
