Chapter 18: Chapter 18: The Miracles of the Ancestors
Seeing her pleading eyes, Xu Yang pursed his lips and said no more.
Liu Rongrong turned and looked at Jiangli with hopeful eyes.
Jiangli stretched out her hand directly to Xia Xin.
Xia Xin was startled, “Ah?!”
Jiangli said expressionlessly, “Talisman Paper!”
“Talisman Paper…” Xia Xin shuddered and responded, “Oh, oh!”
He hurried back to the main hall, took out a Talisman and even found the Vermilion and brush treasured by his master, and respectfully handed them to Jiangli.
Jiangli took them, glanced over, and noted that the setup was quite complete; there was even some chicken blood for dotting the eyes.
Jiangli gave Xia Xin a rare look of appreciation.
Xia Xin started to feel a bit smug and chuckled with a ‘hehe’.
After Jiangli dipped the brush into the Vermilion, she spread the Talisman Paper out on her palm and began to draw the Talisman.
Xu Yang, observing her bluffing ghosts, frowned impatiently, feeling that Jiangli was no different from swindlers on TV shows. He wanted to leave, but Liu Rongrong was watching earnestly, as if all her hopes were pinned on this.
Xu Yang didn’t want to destroy Liu Rongrong’s last glimmer of hope. Despite his impatience, he could only endure.
Fortunately, the wait was not too long.
Jiangli quickly finished drawing a Talisman.
Wang Xinjun saw it and immediately exclaimed excitedly, “Look, look, pay attention, a miracle is about to happen!”
Xia Xin and Xu Yang: “…”
They had no idea what Wang Xinjun was so excited about.
Jiangli picked up the Talisman Paper and waved it in the air.
Before Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong could see clearly what was happening, the Talisman Paper in Jiangli’s hand suddenly burst into flames with a boom.
“Look! A miracle, this is a miracle!!!” Wang Xinjun praised excitedly, making Xia Xin think he was like a low-quality shill.
Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong were surprised by this scene.
Jiangli was not affected by their emotions and simply waved her hand.
The couple saw the smoke that resulted from the burning, drifting towards them.
Before they could react, they felt a heat in their eyes, even a slight sting.
They couldn’t help but close their eyes.
Liu Rongrong covered her eyes and couldn’t help but scream softly, “So hot, so hot…”
Jiangli silently counted to three in her mind, “You can open your eyes now.”
Liu Rongrong and Xu Yang rubbed their eyes and reflexively opened them.
Jiangli looked into their eyes and pointed at the little ghost sitting in the courtyard, “Take a look, isn’t that child yours?”
Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong turned to look.
The next second, both their pupils dilated in shock.
“Shuaishuai! It really is my Shuaishuai!”
Liu Rongrong recognized her child, who was crying bitterly, at first glance and almost crawled over to him, wanting to embrace Shuaishuai.
At this moment, Jiangli urgently advised, “You better not hold him—”
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Rongrong had already lunged at Shuaishuai, tumbling through him and landing heavily on the ground beside him.
Fortunately, it was a grassy garden, so she wasn’t injured.
Liu Rongrong lay in the grass, unable to comprehend what happened for a while.
Just then, Xu Yang also ran over. Seeing what happened, he froze in place, unsure of what had occurred. He turned his head, bewildered, to look at Jiangli.
Jiangli explained, “Humans and ghosts are different paths, he is a ghost now. Haven’t you always talked about TV shows? Haven’t you seen this kind of situation in your TV dramas?”
Humans and ghosts, different paths?
Wang Xinjun chimed in, “Right, right. Didn’t I tell you before? He’s now a little ghost, and he’s been causing trouble in my internet café!”
