After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 12

Five minutes before midnight, An Jiuxi opened the door and came out.

As I descended the steps one by one, I garnered the attention of everyone.

She was a little confused. "What's wrong?"

Lu Huaisang's mouth moved as if he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare.

The impact of the paper dolls remains enormous even now.

The others were simply curious: how did she manage to send a message to Lu Huaisang without leaving the house or saying a word?

It even made this bodyguard, who remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before the emperor, suddenly change color!

Jin Yize maneuvered his wheelchair forward, blocking everyone's view, and asked, "Can the curse be lifted now?"

An Jiuxi nodded, "Mm."

Upon hearing that the curse could be broken, the group suppressed their curiosity and got up to follow her to the backyard.

Before breaking the curse, An Jiuxi took out the peace charm she had just drawn from her bag and handed it to Lu Huaisang.

"One for each person, keep it close to your body."

Lu Huaisang distributed the peace charms.

The group examined the yellow triangular talismans folded in their hands with some curiosity.

An Jiuxi continued, "Don't drive too close later, lest the evil energy backfire and affect you."

Seeing everyone nod, she finally stood behind the table that the old man had arranged in advance.

Incense, candles, paper money, and half a finger bone were prepared on the table.

An Jiuxi arranged all the utensils, then formed a hand seal and held a yellow talisman between her fingertips.

The yellow talisman ignited spontaneously without fire, its eerie blue flames radiating intense heat.

Her hand seals changed rapidly, then she slowly raised her fingers to form a sword, as if she had an invisible sword in her hand, and slashed fiercely at the finger bone!

"break!"

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

Everyone felt a black mist suddenly sweeping in, dazzling their eyes.

Everyone felt a sudden burning sensation where they had just placed the amulet.

Qi Hengfeng suddenly felt a lightness in his body, as if some kind of bond connecting his soul had been severed.

This feeling is mysterious and indescribable.

Meanwhile, in a remote town hundreds of kilometers away from Yuncheng.

In a dark and eerie room, a middle-aged man in a black Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged amidst a circle of candlelight, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He opened his eyes in disbelief. "How is this possible? My Soul-Seizing Technique has actually been broken?"

"Who? Who is it?"

*

The Jin family's backyard.

Just as everyone was at a loss, the black fog dissipated and the sand and gravel stopped.

The world before my eyes has returned to clarity.

The amazing experience left everyone slightly stunned, their faces filled with astonishment, their eyes gleaming with awe and excitement.

Qi Hengfeng rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Sister-in-law, this soul-capturing technique..."

"It's been resolved." An Jiuxi's face was slightly pale. "However, it's not over yet!"

After she finished speaking, she picked up the Five Thunder Talisman with one hand, pointed it into the air, and threw it, shouting, "Thunder, come!"

Suddenly, the clear sky overhead was filled with wind and clouds, and a muffled rumble of thunder could be heard from beneath the dark clouds.

Just as everyone was marveling at the sight, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm suddenly struck down from the sky.

With a sharp crack, it struck that finger bone!

A small black mushroom cloud was visibly rising from the finger bone.

The clouds gave off an inexplicable feeling of coldness and terror.

However, before the chill could affect people's minds, it was swept away by the residual power of the Five Thunder Talisman.

Chi!

Sizzle!

An Jiuxi stopped striking after five lightning talismans fell in succession until no more black mushroom clouds appeared on her finger bones.

He then picked up the fire talisman and slapped it onto his finger bone.

boom!

A ball of purple flame instantly enveloped the finger bone, and in a short while, it burned the finger bone to ashes.

An Jiuxi then clapped her hands and looked up at the stunned group of people, "That's good!"

Everyone, "..."

The scenes that just happened were so shocking and unimaginable!

They originally thought they were mentally prepared enough for metaphysics.

In retrospect, we were not prepared enough!

After a long while, Qi Hengfeng finally managed to squeeze out a dry sentence, "Sister-in-law is awesome!"

Grandpa Jin glanced at him and asked, "Xixi, the curse on Hengfeng has been lifted, but what about his soul?"

An Jiuxi leaned on the table with one hand. "Don't worry, when I dispersed the Yin energy just now, I deliberately left a wisp. You can follow the traces of the incantation on it to track the location of his soul."

"That......"

Old Master Jin wanted to say that there was no time to lose, and that the thought of having the soul controlled by someone else made him uneasy.

But before she could even open her mouth, Jin Yize interrupted her, "Dad, Xixi is tired!"

Grandpa Jin was taken aback, only then noticing An Jiuxi's slightly pale face.

He immediately apologized, "I was too hasty! Xiao Ze, quickly help Xi Xi back to rest. Tell the servants to make some ginseng chicken soup for the young mistress to nourish her body."

An Jiuxi was indeed quite tired.

Although breaking the soul-capturing spell is not difficult, she had consumed a lot of spiritual power yesterday to help the souls of the dead, and the wound in her soul had not yet been fully repaired.

Using spiritual power again naturally consumes more energy than usual.

She was pale and swaying, looking pitiful.

Qi Hengfeng and Jin Yu felt very guilty and looked at An Jiuxi with worried expressions.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

An Jiuxi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just need to rest for a bit."

"Xiao Qi, take your sister-in-law to rest." Jin Yu said with concern, "I'll have someone gather a bunch of tonics and send them to your sister-in-law later."

Jin Yize didn't say anything, but with an unfriendly expression, he had the maid help An Jiuxi upstairs.

After returning to his room, Jin Yize looked at An Jiuxi's weak appearance and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Stay here for a while," An Jiuxi said without any hesitation.

Jin Yize looked puzzled. "Will this really help you?"

“Mm.” An Jiuxi waved to him, signaling him to sit closer.

Jin Yize slid his wheelchair closer to the bed.

Within the body shrouded in malevolent energy, wisps of purple aura drifted towards An Jiuxi and entered her body.

As she felt her empty dantian gradually filling with spiritual energy, An Jiuxi let out a comfortable sigh.

He then explained to Jin Yize, "Your destiny is extremely noble, with a rich aura of imperial purple. This aura is very beneficial to my recovery, so you only need to get closer to me to help me."

Jin Yize's eyelids twitched slightly; he hadn't expected that he had this function.

An Jiuxi yawned lazily and handed Jin Yize a talisman.

Jin Yize looked at the talisman, which was no different from the peace charms Lu Huaisang had given them before, and asked, "Didn't we just give them some?"

"This is different from the others; I drew it especially for you." The girl's tone softened, revealing a hint of weariness.

The word "deliberately" greatly pleased Jin Yize.

He held the small talisman in his palm and looked at the girl whose eyelids were drooping.

"If you're tired, take a nap. I'll stay here and watch over you."

The man's voice was deep and pleasant, which made An Jiuxi feel inexplicably at ease. She closed her eyes and nodded, and soon began to breathe evenly.

This was the first time she had fallen asleep so peacefully after her spiritual energy was depleted.
