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

Chapter 51

"Aren't there a lot of supernatural incidents in Yuncheng lately? Could something serious be about to happen?"

Yuan Xiaofei complained under his breath, "Sigh, making money is really hard. I only came here because my cousin told me that I could just lie around and get paid at the Special Administration Bureau, but who knew that I haven't even had a midday nap since I got in!"

Before his complaints had even stopped, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance.

"Great God An!" Yuan Xiaofei's eyes lit up when he saw An Jiuxi. He skipped a few steps to her and said, "Great God An, you're amazing! We were just having a headache about this case, which was a bit tricky, and we were thinking of asking for help, but we didn't expect you to have already solved it."

The title "Master" made An Jiuxi fall silent for a moment.

She yawned, tears welling in her eyes. "It was a coincidence." She rubbed her eyes. "Someone tried to use evil magic to induce the birth of a flower demon. The girl lost her life essence. You guys need to deal with that. Also, there should be three more vengeful ghosts kept in captivity in the villa. Do you want to capture them and question them or just kill them on the spot?"

Bai Pu's expression changed, and he said with difficulty, "A...a vengeful ghost?"

An Jiuxi, "Hmm." Seeing their expressions, she raised an eyebrow, "Can't handle it?"

Bai Pu and Yuan Xiaofei both shook their heads.

Their skill level is okay for ordinary ghosts, but for vengeful ghosts... it's beyond their capabilities!

An Jiuxi, “…”

She pulled two lightning talismans from her bag and handed them over. "With these, there shouldn't be any problems. You know the incantation, right?"

Bai Pu and Yuan Xiaofei stared wide-eyed at the thunder talisman, which seemed to be emitting light.

They nodded in unison upon hearing this.

An Jiuxi was exhausted and leaned against Jin Yize. "You guys do it, I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

He took two steps, then turned back. "Oh, right, the talismans... they're priced differently!"

Yuan Xiaofei's smile froze, but Bai Pu was quick to respond, saying, "Of course, I will transfer the money for the talismans to Fellow Daoist An later."

"Mmm. Good girl!"

Bai Pu and Yuan Xiaofei took over the situation, and An Jiuxi left without looking back.

Chi Beimu stayed to cooperate with the investigation for a while before returning home in the evening.

As soon as they got home, Chi Anruo couldn't wait to come over and ask, "Bei Mu, tell your aunt, what's that woman's background?"

Wasn't she just a country girl?

How come he also has those strange and wonderful abilities!

"You can't touch that woman." Chi Beimu's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses sharpened.

Chi Anruo frowned upon hearing this.

He didn't say anything on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

She's just a country girl with some rudimentary skills; how could she lose to someone like that?

Chi Beimu ignored Chi Anruo and went upstairs to his room.

She took out a bright red notebook from the locked drawer and wrote down a name, stroke by stroke: An Jiuxi.

Strangely, the words expanded infinitely on the notebook, the notes seeming to come alive, flowing and moving. But in an instant, that page, along with An Jiuxi's name, disappeared.

The boy stared blankly at the scene before him.

"W-what's going on?!" Why is the Soul-Hooking Book useless against An Jiuxi?

Could it be that she has no soul?

No, it's impossible.

After getting to know An Jiuxi, he found that the person's words and actions were full of spirit; how could she be without a soul?

Something must have gone wrong!

Chi Beimu narrowed his eyes, preparing to try again.

Just then, footsteps, neither too deep nor too shallow, came from the stairs.

Chi Beimu's expression changed slightly. He quickly put the Soul-Hooking Book back into the hidden compartment of the bookshelf, then casually picked up a book, opened it, and pretended to be reading seriously.

Outside the door, a figure was lying on the door panel, cautiously peering inside through the crack.

Seeing the boy focused on his studies, a smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.
