Unaware of Wan Jiao's thoughts, Ye Jin carefully put away the amulet. "What time should we go back to the old house?"
Without thinking, Wan Jiao said, "Seven o'clock."
"Seven o'clock?" A clear look of doubt flashed in Ye Jin's eyes. "Isn't that too late?"
It was a bit late, but Wan Jiao had no choice. She had to find the female ghost immediately, otherwise, if she delayed any longer, something even more serious might happen.
"Which is more important, going back to have dinner with Grandpa or your life?"
Nightfall: "..."
Is there even a question?
He remained silent, but Wan Jiao spoke again, "You don't need to be afraid. As long as I'm here, even if the King of Hell himself comes, he won't be able to take your life."
Wan Jiao, with her breathtakingly beautiful face, spoke to Ye Jin with the most domineering words. The contrast between them was so strong that words could hardly describe it.
Ye Jin's hands clenched involuntarily at his sides, his face expressionless but his heart burning with passion.
Wan Jiao, you're the one who barged into my heart.
Once you're in, don't even think about leaving.
…
Wan Jiao memorized the female ghost's appearance and returned to her room to use her modified spirit-detecting technique (the original technique tracked the ghost's trail by its aura, but the modified technique allowed her to learn about the ghost's life based on Wan Jiao's memories, which was incredibly powerful) to investigate the female ghost.
The results of the investigation were quite shocking; the woman who looked like a female ghost was actually alive.
She is a living soul.
Wan Jiao, who was usually unfazed even by the collapse of Mount Tai, became unusually tense: the sight of a living soul appearing openly under the blazing sun was more shocking to her than the fact that she was a ghost.
What kind of person is behind the manipulation of that soul?
How did "he" make this almost impossible thing a reality? What kind of manipulation could give a living soul abilities that surpass even those of a ghost?
After patting the canvas bag that she had never parted from with her, Wan Jiao called out in a clear voice, "Xiao Jin, I have something for you to do."
Xiao Lejin, who had been forcibly pulled out of the suona earlier, had been recuperating for a long time. When Wan Jiao called her out this time, she looked incredibly healthy.
So fresh and cute, absolutely adorable.
With her hair styled in two buns and wearing a little cheongsam in the style of the Republic of China era, she asked Wan Jiao in a childish voice, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
Wan Jiao bent down and waved to Xiao Lejin.
The little girl ran over quickly and leaned in to listen.
"Xiao Jin, you..."
Xiao Lejin listened and nodded, "Okay, shall I go now?"
Wan Jiao: "Yes, let's do it together."
…
Wan Jiao took Xiao Lejin to a children's clothing store in the capital city.
It was a well-known high-end children's clothing brand, with each piece of clothing being incredibly expensive, and it was located near a high-end residential area.
Although Xiao Lejin is a spirit, she is still a little girl, so it's perfectly normal for her to like pretty clothes and toys. Dazzled by the sights, she excitedly tugged at Wan Jiao's hand and asked, "Auntie, can I buy a few more?"
“Okay.” Wan Jiao said, taking out an outfit that she thought was most suitable for Xiao Lejin’s “mission” today and handing it to the sales assistant, “Please get her size.”
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After the sales assistant finished speaking, she went to get the clothes. Xiao Lejin had already picked out about ten sets, and looked at Wan Jiao with a cute expression, "Auntie, only adults make choices. I want all of these."
Wan Jiao: "..."
In the end, Xiao Lejin got what she wanted.
After buying the clothes, Xiao Lejin pointed to the tempting iced watermelon in the fruit shop outside and whispered in a soft voice, "Auntie, I really want to eat iced watermelon. Look, so many people are buying it, let's go buy one too."
Just as Wan Jiao was about to refuse, Xiao Lejin rubbed her little face against the back of her hand.
"Just one, please~~~~"
Wearing the newly bought princess dress, Xiao Lejin looked like a little princess straight out of a fairy tale. Wan Jiao admitted that she really couldn't resist the little princess's way of being coquettish.
Yes, refusing is a crime!
I will feel guilty.
"You can only buy half, we can't delay things."
"Okay, I'll be a good girl and only eat half a piece, not a single bite," Xiao Lejin replied sensibly.
The chilled watermelon was so delicious! Little Lejin was overjoyed. "Auntie, I want to eat a chilled watermelon every day from now on! It's so delicious!"
Wan Jiao: "Get things done properly, there's plenty of iced watermelon, isn't there?"
Wan Jiao and Xiao Le Jin, one big and one small, are both very good-looking and have attracted the attention of many people along the way.
Among them... are the people Wan Jiao is waiting for, people with "unkind intentions".
A few minutes later!
When passing a public restroom, Wan Jiao deliberately left Xiao Lejin outside.
Seeing that Xiao Lejin was alone, the person who had been following her took the bait and approached her seemingly unintentionally but actually deliberately, asking, "Little friend, where's your mother?"
Xiao Lejin looked at the person speaking to her: it was a woman in her thirties who seemed very kind. The woman looked at Xiao Lejin with a gentle smile and spoke to her.
Xiao Lejin blinked, ignoring the woman.
The woman wasn't embarrassed at all. She took out a lollipop that looked delicious from her bag, unwrapped it, and handed it to Xiao Lejin. "Little friend, want some candy?"
That lollipop looks so delicious in the sunlight.
"I want to eat it." Xiao Lejin unconsciously licked her lips, swallowed, and asked the woman, "Auntie, can you give me some?"
Little Lejin is just too cute and adorable. Even though the woman is a "serial offender," she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her because of Little Lejin's appearance.
"Auntie?" Xiao Lejin called out again when she saw that she didn't speak, "Is it okay?"
The woman was brought back to her senses and secretly blamed herself for being bewitched. She quickly stuffed the lollipop into Xiao Lejin's hand.
Xiao Lejin quickly put the lollipop into her mouth.
It tastes sweet, it's so delicious!
She took a couple of slurps, smiled and thanked the woman, saying, "Auntie, you're so kind."
The candy was spiked; after eating it for a short while, Xiao Lejin pretended to faint. The woman seized the opportunity to grab her and quickly rushed towards a luxury car speeding towards the roadside.
The driver was the woman's accomplice. As soon as she got into the car, he saw little Le Jin in her arms and stared at her intently. "This little girl is so beautiful. The master will definitely like her very much."
The woman touched Xiao Lejin's face, her words filled with regret, "Who says otherwise? I almost couldn't bring myself to do it."
The man was displeased and rebuked the woman in a low voice, "If you don't want to die, put away your overflowing but worthless sympathy."
