It was the first time Xie Qiao released the souls for reincarnation since she came to the Imperial City. Therefore, she was nervous.
The releasing of souls would usually take place at the Taoist temple in the past. After she was done with it, she would hide in the temple. There would be some scary ghouls knocking at her door occasionally, but it was manageable.
Unlike what was happening now.
Xie Qiao was pretending to be calm as she flipped through the book.
The female ghoul blew onto Xie Qiao's face, and she could see her better now. She then said in resentment, "So pretty! If I was this pretty back then, how would that jerk leave me and find someone else…"
Xie Qiao's eyelids twitched.
The female ghoul's thoughts were rather dangerous…
Usually, those ghouls that liked her skin wanted to possess her!
Meanwhile, Xie Qiao could tell from a glance that the female ghoul did not come from below. She was definitely a wandering soul. Such a soul was unreasonable.
As expected, the female ghoul suddenly charged at Xie Qiao as she thought to herself. She seemed to want to possess her. However, she was thrown back as soon as she touched Xie Qiao.
Fire and smoke were burning on her body. The female ghoul twitched a few times before criticizing weakly, "What's wrong with you!? You have so many things that expel evil on you!"
Xie Qiao pretended not to hear.
However, she felt warm in her embrace. Perhaps a couple of talismans were used from the encounter before.
The female ghoul glared at her in resentment and left rather unwillingly.
Xie Qiao was relieved.
The female ghoul had left, but the sedan chair that she was in was still dangerous as ghouls passed by her sedan chair occasionally.
Forget it if the ghouls looked alright.
However, most of the ghouls were unbearable to the eyes!
He placed his hand on Xie Qiao's shoulder as he spoke. "Hehehe… Tsk tsk, there's a young lady here. Sigh, it's unfortunate. If I were still alive, I'd definitely marry you."
His hand was burnt as soon as he touched her.
Xie Qiao felt sorry for the talismans in her embrace.
She lost another talisman now.
She had inscribed them diligently, forgetting to eat. Those wild ghouls were unruly just because they had strong dark energy. They even did something so shameless!
That promiscuous ghoul held his hand with a painful and strange expression on his face. "You're evil. I merely touched you. Do you have to be so cruel? My hand… How much more incense do I have to eat to grow it back…"
He left feeling wronged as he spoke.
Xie Qiao rolled her eyes.
She was the one who felt wronged. She was already careful enough to be dressing like this today, but the ghouls still came after her!
If not for the fact that she did not want to attract the attention of the ghouls around, she would have captured that pervert! She would have captured all of the ghouls!
Xie Qiao was pissed and looked terrible. She gnashed her teeth as she held back. The sedan chair was shaky. The carrier's legs became weak as the sedan chair was moving, and he sprained his ankle.
The entire sedan chair trembled, but Xie Qiao managed to balance herself immediately.
When she got off to check, she saw a ghoul snarling at the carrier. The swollen body looked rather creepy, with scary eyes that popped out. Its grin would give one goosebumps.
At that moment, Xie Qiao felt a chill on her back.
"This is so fun!" That ghoul was clapping.
The carrier turned his head and looked at Xie Qiao as he said helplessly, "Young lady, I sprained my ankle. I can't be carrying this. Could you get someone here for me, please?"
Xie Qiao had gotten the shopkeeper to find her a carrier. After all, she had gone out early on her own this morning. She should not use the family carriage.
"Got it."
Although Xie Qiao felt helpless, she did not want to trouble him. She looked around and realized that they were only halfway there. She thought she would just walk to the closest restaurant.
