Monster, come to my bowl

When Cai Ji saw Xue Lin smiling at him, he knew that escape was not a solution.

He immediately gritted his teeth and shirked the blame, "No, no, no, I didn't steal it! Your sister stole the rubbing. If you have any questions, you can go find her!"

The voice just fell.

Master Xue and his confidant Xue Mao looked over.

There was astonishment and confusion in the master's eyes.

There was confusion and admiration in Xue Mao's eyes.

"Sister...my sister...I remember...her name is Xue Yi...she likes to beat me..." After hearing Cai Ji's answer, the second young master tilted his head and continued to mutter to himself, as if he was lost in memories of the past.

However, just when a few people thought that Xue Lin would be moved by the affection of his family, his expression suddenly changed!

Wow!

The second young master suddenly overturned the desk in front of him, his face ferocious and he went berserk: "Xue Yi! How dare she steal my rubbings! Steal my rubbings! I..."

"Wait! Don't be impatient!" Cai Ji saw that the situation was about to get out of control, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to release the person under the stone tablet?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Young Master suddenly fell into a daze.

He stared at Cai Ji with his scarlet eyes and murmured, "How... did you know... that I wanted to let her out?"

"It doesn't matter how I know!" Cai Ji waved his hand and said sincerely, "What's important is that your sister has helped you fulfill your wish and given that person freedom! Now, she has left Nanshan Town and is doing what she wants to do."

"Freedom... She is free... Haha... Great, Great!" The red light in the second young master's eyes suddenly lit up, then dimmed again. With a complicated expression, he muttered to himself: "Sister... It was sister who helped me... fulfill my wish... Sister... Sister... She is so good to me..."

"Ah~~"

Master Xue sighed softly and slowly put down the demon-slaying sword in his hand.

"Woo~"

There was a sob at the door.

Mrs. Xue couldn't help herself and ran over to take a peek.

Although Cai Ji's heart was in turmoil, he knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he continued to ask boldly: "Second Master, what are your plans next?"

"Plan..." Xue Lin seemed a little confused.

It was obvious that he faked his death with a mission in mind.

Now that I find that the task has been completed by someone else, I have lost the direction of my efforts.

"Since the Second Young Master doesn't know what to do, I have a suggestion." Cai Ji said with a strange expression.

"What... suggestion?" Xue Lin looked at him blankly.

"I suggest you..." Cai Ji mustered up the courage to stare at the second young master's scarlet eyes. Suddenly he raised his right hand and pointed at him, saying in his native language, "Rest in peace!"

Snapped!

As soon as he finished speaking, a slight sound suddenly came from Cai Ji's clenched left hand.

at the same time.

The second young master Xue suddenly staggered, and the red in his eyes faded like the tide.

He held his head in pain for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Mr. Xue in front of him, then looked at Madam Xue at the door, and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom...it's time for me to go! I will repay you for your kindness in raising me in my next life."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone to react, the second young master jumped out of the window.

Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue came to their senses and hurried out to chase after him.

But, it's too late.

After the second young master rushed out of the door, he ran straight to the cemetery amid the servants' shouts of fear.

When Mr. Xue and his wife rushed over, they saw only a heartbreaking scene!

When the second young master returned to the tomb, the shroud he was wearing rotted and shattered in an instant. The flesh and blood on his body also disappeared, leaving only a pile of dry bones lying upright in the tomb.

Mr. Xue looked at the scene in front of him and remained silent, hugging his wife who was crying non-stop.

"Bury him! Build the tomb and burn paper money and incense again."

After a long silence, the master gave an instruction to the servants who gathered around him, then returned to the Xue Mansion with his wife.

……

Although the Second Young Master's corpse-prediction incident lasted less than a quarter of an hour, it was declared over.

But it still makes people panic.

The Xue Mansion, which had been quite bustling, suddenly became much quieter.

The servants were very serious when doing things and didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear of angering the master and mistress.

Cai Ji was also in a very bad mood.

The bad reason was not because he saw a ghost in broad daylight, but because fine cracks appeared on the ancient bronze seal that was intended to be used to save his life.

Although it didn't completely collapse, it was almost there.

That's right!

In order to persuade the Second Young Master not to cause trouble, he cast the Holy Word spell again.

The phrase "rest in peace" is it.

These holy words did not cause him to bleed from his nose, nor did he faint from exhaustion, but they made the ancient bronze seal bear all the consequences.

"Alas, it's broken before it's even warmed up! I must hurry up and find more consumables like this, otherwise if something happens again, I won't even have anything to defend myself with."

Cai Ji took the ancient seal and looked at it from left to right, muttering to himself with a look of heartache on his face.

The world is too dangerous!

Not only are monsters rampant, but it's also haunted!

Even if it's haunted!

The ghost was still smiling at him!

If I don’t have something to protect myself, I won’t be able to sleep at night.

"Go into the city! We must go into the city! Collect more antiques like these. They can strengthen our bodies and also serve as cannonballs."

Cai Ji thought for a while and made a decisive decision.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Cai Ji put away the bronze seal and looked towards the door.

Squeak!

The door opened and two people came in.

It’s not Honghong and Lanlan, but Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue.

"Shopkeeper Cai."

As soon as the two elders entered the door, they raised their hands and saluted Cai Ji.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it! Please take a seat, please take a seat."

Cai Ji was startled and quickly stood up to give way.

"Manager Cai, my wife and I have a common concern, and I hope you can help us resolve it." After the two of them sat down, Xue Xiong explained his purpose with a serious expression.

"You two want to know what happened to the second young master, right?" Cai Ji understood.

"That's right! I hope Manager Cai will tell me the truth." The lady continued.

"Okay!" Cai Ji knew that it was not a good idea to continue hiding it, so he thought for a moment and said concisely, "There is a seal at the bottom of the Centipede Cave, which contains an ancient monster. I don't know how this monster established a connection with the Second Young Master, and bewitched the Second Young Master to help it unlock the seal."

Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue didn't say anything, but looked at each other in astonishment.

"How is the big monster now?" After a moment's silence, the master asked.

"The big monster has been killed by Feng Siming." Cai Ji didn't dare to tell the truth, fearing that the two elders would have a grudge, so he lied based on the news Xue Yi told him: "After the eldest lady and I discovered the truth that day, she went to Tongtian City overnight to ask Feng Siming for help, and Siming came that night to eliminate the big monster."

"Feng Siming has been to Nanshan Town?" The master and his wife were even more surprised.

"She has been here!" Cai Ji nodded and continued, "She not only killed the big monster, but also cleared out the iron-backed centipedes in the centipede cave and sealed the entrance. If you two don't believe me, just send someone to take a look and you'll know."

"We believe it, we believe it!" The lady nodded and suddenly asked, "By the way, Shopkeeper Cai! What did you say to Lin'er in the study just now? Why did he let go of his worries after hearing it?"

"Oh, that's a proverb!" Cai Ji was prepared and gave a half-truthful explanation: "When I was wandering outside, a ranger taught me that it can appease ghosts and gods. I was in the study when I suddenly remembered this proverb, so I tried it on the second young master. I didn't expect it to really work."

After hearing the explanation, the lady and the master looked at each other again.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Cai, for letting Lin'er rest in peace."

"What a great kindness, I will never forget it!"

The two stood up and thanked him again.
