As soon as the Ji Da sounded, the daughter-in-law made a brilliant appearance!

Zhi Nian actually knew everything. She said with a half-smile on her face, "Did you hide secretly again? Didn't you even look for me?"

Yue Qiaoer quickly defended herself, "That's impossible! It's obvious that no man in this world is worthy of me. I just don't look down on them, okay?"

In fact, she had been deliberately avoiding him during this period of time and had not even thought about looking for him.

"If that's the case, why don't you find a girl?" Zhi Nian asked.

Hearing this, Yue Qiaoer was speechless, "I... uh..."

She swallowed back the rest of the words because she had been hiding a dark secret in her heart.

It turned out that she had secretly fallen in love with Jiang Xiren since she was a child. However, since she and Zhi Nian had known each other since childhood and grew up together, she was well aware of Zhi Nian's love for Jiang Xiren.

Because of this, she did not want to become enemies with her best friend because of this relationship, and could only silently bury the love that could not be made public deep in her heart.

It would be good for her to know it alone.

However, just before leaving the island, Zhi Nian unexpectedly confided in her: "I have always had a feeling of admiration and love for Jiang Xiren. This feeling comes from the experience of being cared for by my elder sister when I was a child, but it has nothing to do with love."

Before this, she had no interest in anyone else.

However, it was these words that Zhi Nian said that day that made the seed that had been buried deep in his heart many years ago break through the ground and grow vigorously overnight!

Unfortunately, when the seed that had just sprouted saw Jiang Xiren gazing at Zhi Nian with eyes full of attachment and reluctance when getting on the boat, it was instantly destroyed by the violent storm, rainstorm, lightning and thunder, and was unable to raise its head.

Zhi Nian told her that she had someone she liked, the Taoist priest, and Zhi Nian was going to leave with the Taoist priest.

She was genuinely happy for her friend, but while she was happy for her friend, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.

If Sister Xiren knew that Zhinian already had someone he loved, would she gradually let it go?

Then, do I have a chance?

Thinking of this, her mood became more complicated...

-

Zhi Nian didn't know the complicated emotional changes in Yue Qiaoer's heart at this moment, but she noticed that Yue Qiaoer's hand movements gradually became slower, and thought that this was a good thing after all.

Next, the two of them continued to chat about various trivial matters, and even when it was dinner time, Zhi Nian did not go downstairs to eat.

Because she was worried that Yue Qiaoer would uncontrollably wolf down the food after seeing it.

"Senior sister, I'll go back to my room first."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

Zhi Nian was overjoyed and ran to the door and quickly opened it.

Shui Yuci gently kneaded Zhi Nian's little head with a loving look on her face, and asked softly, "Have you had dinner?"

However, Zhi Nian did not respond to her question, but pulled Shui Yuci tightly into the house, shouting anxiously: "Sister, please save Qiao'er!"

Shui Yuci followed Zhi Nian's gaze and looked at the other person in the room.

She thought about it carefully in her mind, and gradually recalled that this person had appeared in Yuelai Tower with Zhi Nian, and her name seemed to be Yue Qiaoer.

At this moment, Yue Qiaoer's body was covered by a starving ghost with sunken sides. Black smoke filled the air and it kept muttering,

"Eat quickly! Eat quickly! I'm so hungry... I'm almost starving to death..."

Yue Qiaoer also noticed Shui Yuci's presence. She stood up with difficulty, holding Zhi Nian's dates in her hand.

While chewing the dates, he asked Shui Yuci for help: "Master, Master, please save me, I really can't eat any more!"

However, at this moment, the starving ghost also discovered Shui Yuci, and it tried to break free from Yue Qiaoer's body.

Just as it had just escaped from the fat body, it was suddenly fixed to the floor by a flying talisman.

As the starving ghost left, Yue Qiaoer finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell to the ground, starting to vomit wildly.

Zhi Nian, who was standing by, hurriedly stepped forward and patted Yue Qiaoer on the back, and poured her a cup of tea so that she could rinse her mouth later.

Starving ghosts are always wandering lonely ghosts with no one to rely on, and these two months are like heaven to them.

At this moment, he was lying on the cold ground, his eyes fixed on the woman in Taoist robes, knowing in his heart that he would not be able to escape the bad luck that was coming today.

A cunning light flashed across his eyes, but in the blink of an eye it was replaced by a pitiful expression, and he began to beg bitterly.

"Master, please spare me! Master, please spare me! I didn't mean to offend you... I'm just so hungry... I haven't had a full stomach for a long time..."

The starving ghost cried out to the sky and continued to tell his troubles in a trembling voice.

However, facing the starving ghost kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Shui Yuci's face remained gloomy and she showed no mercy at all.

She just snorted coldly, as if she had already seen through the other party's hypocritical performance.

Shui Yuci would never be merciful to such a ghost who pretended to be pitiful in an attempt to gain sympathy.

"snort!"

Following this light rebuke, Shui Yuci cast a spell without hesitation and sucked the starving ghost into the gourd she carried with her, without giving it any chance to explain or resist.

Can lonely ghosts hurt others at will and satisfy their own selfish desires?

You have to know that starving ghosts died of extreme hunger in their lifetime, and after becoming ghosts, they are destined to be unable to escape the fate of hunger.

In this case, can't you have a little self-awareness?

Shui Yuci thought that if such an evil ghost was not subdued in time, it would cause endless harm in the future.

He even dared to quibble. Shui Yuci would not take this lowest-level ghost seriously at all.

At this moment, the ghost sealed in the gourd was chirping non-stop.

"Oh wow! There's a new ghost friend!"

"Let me see what kind of ghost it is! Tsk! After all this time, it turns out to be nothing more than a starving ghost."

"Isn't this Taoist priest too picky about food? He won't even let go of a little ghost like this?"

"Hehehe! That's great. Now we have new ghosts to bully and amuse ourselves with! Hahaha!"

"Get out of the way! I was the first one to discover it, so I should have been the first one to come!"

"Get out of here! My son should go first! After all, he is the youngest. Don't you know that you should respect the elderly and love children?"

"Fuck you! I'm an extremely vicious demon, who would care about these things?"

"Anyway, I don't care. I'm the one with the most lack of moral bottom line. Get out of my way, or I'll slap him first..."
