I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 157 The Girl Sold to the Mountains 12
As the witch spoke, she suddenly became indignant and began to curse.

"These bastards are not only stupid, they're also incredibly wicked. People from our area usually look down on them."

But since they've come knocking on my door, I need to make money too.

"Business delivered to my door, why would I turn it down? I'm not stupid!"

Yu Muhuai's hands relaxed a little more.

The witch was finally able to breathe normally. She gasped, "I was always on guard, afraid that the people who persecuted them would come after me at night, which is why I escaped your clutches."

But think about it, if I wanted to deal with you, wouldn't it have been easier to set a trap for them from the start?
Think about it! Doesn't that make sense?

In the end, the witch's words even carried a hint of whining and grievance.

Yu Muhuai thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, you've successfully convinced me."

Then she released the witch on the ground.

"Hmph." The witch stood up, covered her neck, and glared at Yu Muhuai.

Although there is little difference between her eyes being open and closed.

"What's your name?"

"Zhou Caimei".

"Huh?" Such a big guy is called a younger sister?

"What are you yelling about? You're trying to harm me right from the start, how cruel of you!"

Something's not right. Why does Yu Muhuai feel that the other person's tone is a little reproachful and a little shy?
Shaking his head to dismiss the strange thought, Yu Muhuai continued, "So what are you planning to do tomorrow?"

"What do you mean, 'do what'? Get the job done, take the money, and leave.' I only said I could exorcise the ghosts, but I didn't guarantee they wouldn't come back afterward."

I'll put up some talismans then, and you can tear them off at some point, then cause trouble for a while. Then they'll invite me back, do their bidding, get paid, and leave.
If this cycle continues, wouldn't everyone benefit?

That's the process, now you understand?

Yu Muhuai's eye twitched. "So this is how you usually scam money?"

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you talk like that? I'm offering help to people seeking emotional comfort, okay!"

As Zhou Caimei spoke, she tossed her messy hair and rolled her eyes again.

"Alright, alright, let's do it your way." Now that he understood that the witch wouldn't ruin his plans, Yu Muhuai didn't plan to stay any longer.

"Hey, wait a minute." Seeing that Yu Muhuai was about to leave, Zhou Caimei quickly called out to her.

"Hmm?" Yu Muhuai turned his head. "Is there anything else?"

Zhou Caimei took two steps closer and whispered, "Little sister, were you also bought?"

"Do you look like me?"

Zhou Caimei squinted her small eyes and looked at it for a long time in the dim light. "It looks a bit like it, but not quite."

You look quite clean-cut, not like someone from this village. But your martial arts are so good, how could these people possibly hold you back? Are you here just for revenge? Like you have these past few days, to deal with them?

Yu Muhuai's eyes darted around, and he was about to speak when Zhou Caimei spoke first.

"Young lady, listen to my advice. When will this cycle of revenge end? If you can escape, do so quickly. Staying here any longer is not a good idea. You look quite young; you can't do too many wrong things, lest you ruin your whole life!"

Yu Muhuai understood that Zhou Caimei was referring to the things she had done by poisoning and killing livestock.

But I'm not only going to kill chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs, I'm also going to kill people.

“Thank you for your concern, but don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. There are just some things I have to do, but I have my bottom line. Besides, these people are too foolish; they won’t report it unless absolutely necessary. Before that, I will definitely escape.” Zhou Caimei looked at Yu Muhuai with complicated eyes, then sighed deeply.

"Actually, I've known about the situation around here for a long time, but nobody cares. Where there's demand, there's supply. As long as there are poor and backward places like this, and as long as there are ignorant villagers, this kind of thing will happen."

Besides, they all live in nearby towns. Even if they are caught, it's the middlemen in the trafficking who will be sentenced, and the buyers will at most be fined. Once the storm passes, new middlemen will emerge.

Wildfires cannot burn them all; the spring breeze brings them back to life. Many people in the town are also afraid of getting into trouble.

To be honest, I also despise this kind of behavior. But I have relatives who do it, and if I report or expose them, my family will probably be in constant turmoil.

Sigh, sometimes I despise myself.

Seeing that the person opposite her didn't react, Zhou Caimei smiled sheepishly.

"I'm so sorry to say such things to a victim like you. I really feel bad."

Yu Muhuai shook his head. "There's nothing to be sorry about. I can't change the world, nor can I change the entire environment."

All I want to do is change my own destiny, and the destiny of these scumbags around me.

After saying that, Yu Muhuai didn't linger and turned to leave.

All that remained behind her was Zhou Caimei's sigh.

The next day at noon, Zhou Caimei set up the altar and various equipment in the east square of Huabao Village.

As soon as an incense stick was lit, Zhou Caimei began to dance around the altar, swaying her head.

Her dance moves are expansive and dynamic. Thanks to her martial arts background, her dance has a graceful and flowing feel, reminiscent of a swordsman roaming the world.

No, it means traveling the world with bells.

Perhaps feeling that she needed some sound effects to accompany her chanting, Zhou Caimei kept holding the bell in her right hand.

She danced while chanting incomprehensible "incantations" and ringing bells.

Yu Muhuai, standing some distance away, pursed his lips, feeling that this kind of money was not easy to earn.

It's physically demanding!

Zhou Caimei jumped for a full hour, then sat down cross-legged, panting, and began to meditate.

She closed her eyes, placed her hands on her knees, and crossed her thumbs and middle fingers in a standard lotus position.

Yu Muhuai was ashamed. What was all this nonsense? It was just a bunch of things mixed together, and it looked like it could fool people.

But no matter how unprofessional Zhou Caimei was, her grand gesture successfully fooled the people of Huabao Village.

Seeing the witch she had invited begin to sit quietly, the people around her dared not be negligent and followed suit, sitting down as well.

For a moment, the entire square was completely silent, except for the occasional bark of a dog, the sound of the wind rustling through the plants, and the sound of people breathing.

Zhou Caimei sat quietly for an hour before opening her eyes.

She looked around at everyone, very pleased with herself for successfully fooling so many people.

Suddenly, just as she was about to turn around, she saw a girl with her eyes open, staring at her.

Zhou Caimei recognized him at a glance as the girl who had come over last night!

That's all for today!
This story will come to an end tomorrow, and there should be one more chapter to conclude it the day after tomorrow.

And then the new world begins.

Just a spoiler: the new world is a fantasy world of cultivation!
