Chapter 159: Chapter 159: The Ancestor’s Friendship Price
Jiangli seemed not to have said enough, adding, “Oh right, actually you should feel lucky. Your birth characters must be quite strong, your yang energy very potent. For someone like you, filthy things usually can’t come close so easily. Therefore, for her to get close to you, to fulfill the marital pledge with you, would be quite difficult. She can only approach you gradually, bit by bit weakening the yang energy in your body. Once you’re weakened and your yang energy is exhausted, I estimate that will be the time when you meet your demise.”
Can we, can we not talk about this? It’s really frightening, isn’t it?
Wang Yao was almost ready to kneel down.
“So, what should we do now?” Upon hearing that Wang Yao might be in mortal danger, Wang Xinjun expressed his concerns, “Abbot, you’ve seen this coming, is there any way you can help him resolve this?”
Wang Yao was one of his daughter’s lifesavers, and he did not wish for Wang Yao to come to harm.
After pondering for a moment, Jiangli said, “Your family isn’t from around here, right?”
Wang Yao, struggling, replied, “Right… my, my family is from H City…”
“That thing, she hasn’t followed you over here yet, and this is a Taoist Temple, so she won’t chase you here.” Jiangli handed the Gengchen Sticker back to Wang Yao, “How about this, take the Gengchen Sticker, find some place to stay, then tell us your address. When that thing shows up, we’ll capture her all at once.”
Wang Yao’s voice trembled, “I, I take it back with me?”
“Just temporarily. Without directly resolving her, even tearing up this Gengchen Sticker wouldn’t do much. From the moment you take it, she’ll keep haunting you.” Jiangli forcefully put the Gengchen Sticker into Wang Yao’s hand.
Wang Yao’s palms trembled, holding what seemed less like a Gengchen Sticker and more like an executioner’s talisman.
For the first time, he was truly afraid, “Is, is this really going to work?”
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, “It’s the only way I have. If you don’t trust it, then tear up the Gengchen Sticker and see if she’ll stop bothering you. That’s all.”
How could he dare to take such a gamble?
After struggling for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “Then, then I’ll trust the Abbot. But Abbot, are you sure everything will be fine?”
Jiangli couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle, her voice playful, “Young man, apart from me, who else can you trust right now?”
He was utterly suppressed by Jiangli’s powerful and oppressive presence.
Apart from Jiangli, he truly had no one else he could trust.
Wang Yao agreed with a face full of anxiety.
Seeing his worried look, Jiangli took out an amulet and gave it to him, “Take this, an amulet. Even if we can’t make it in time, with this talisman, you’ll at least be guaranteed no danger. Go ahead and feel at ease.”
Wang Yao hurriedly took it.
Before he could express his gratitude, he heard Jiangli speak again.
“Oh right, one talisman is ten thousand yuan. But considering it’s Wang, the boss, who referred you to me, I’ll charge you eight thousand.”
As she spoke, Jiangli took out her phone, turned around and said, “Just scan the code and pay Xia Xin. I have another client coming.”
Before her voice had died away, she turned and went into the side hall.
Leaving Wang Yao alone, disheveled in the wind.
He stood there dumbfounded for a long time, looking from Wang Xinjun to Xia Xin, and hoarsely asked, “…How much?”
Xia Xin silently extended a finger, gesturing an eight.
Wang Xinjun chuckled, “That’s eight thousand. That’s the price the Abbot decided on a long time ago, normally it would be ten thousand. This is a discounted price for friends!”
Wang Yao’s eyelids twitched violently.
This is a friend’s price?
Eight thousand for a talisman, and that’s a friendly price?!
He felt bewildered, but seeing Wang Xinjun and Xia Xin both sporting an air of nonchalance.
He began to wonder if he simply wasn’t clued into the cost of living in F City.
Seeing him standing there dumbstruck, Xia Xin quietly took out her phone and asked, “So, young man, do you want to buy it?”
