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

Chapter 9

She blinked, a little puzzled.

She rarely dreams, and this was... not a good dream at all.

Weird!

Weird!

However, those in the Xuanmen sect never count themselves as such.

So after sitting there for a while, An Jiuxi simply threw off the covers and got out of bed.

Let's leave things that haven't happened yet for now.

She'll meet force with force and water with earth. With her skills, she has nothing to fear.

While washing up, the little paper figure climbed onto the sink and gestured wildly at An Jiuxi.

An Jiuxi brushed her teeth while watching it gesticulate wildly, occasionally letting out a soft "hmm" in response.

Last night, after the little paper figures buried what she had instructed them to do, they didn't come back, but instead wandered around the area.

Surprisingly, this visit yielded some discoveries.

An Jiuxi spat out the foam in her mouth, rinsed her mouth, and put the toothbrush and cup aside.

"Are you saying that there's a ghost haunting the house next door, and that the beautiful old woman is dying?"

The little paper figure nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.

Seeing its adorable appearance, An Jiuxi couldn't help but point at it with her finger.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go check it out tonight."

During the day, the yang energy is strong, and evil spirits won't appear. Even if she went, she might not be able to find them.

Moreover, she has a lot to do during the day.

After washing up, An Jiuxi went into the dressing room.

Although it was supposed to be a marriage to bring good luck, the Jin family did not treat her hastily.

Not only did they carefully decorate her room, but they even prepared a lot of clothes in her walk-in closet according to her size.

Everything you need is available for all four seasons.

An Jiuxi casually chose a set of casual clothes to wear, and went downstairs while tying her hair up.

The twenty-year-old girl has a face full of collagen.

With her exquisite features and ethereal气质, she stunned everyone in the living room when she came downstairs.

Qi Mingxuan looked at the girl, who was only a few years older than him, with burning eyes, but felt a sense of indescribable loss in his heart.

Qi Hengfeng stood up impatiently, "Sister-in-law, you're finally awake."

Last night, after the family returned home, they immediately smashed the jade Guanyin statue in the study.

As it turned out, something actually fell out of the jade Guanyin.

The thing was wrapped in red silk, and for some reason, it gave off a sinister feeling.

They had to mentally prepare themselves before they untied the red silk, and what they saw inside terrified them.

If it weren't so late, they would have come to find An Jiuxi that very night.

I finally managed to wait until dawn, and then I rushed over.

To everyone's surprise, An Jiuxi was still asleep.

They dared not disturb anyone and could only wait in the living room.

They placed the contents of the jade Guanyin statue on the coffee table, not daring to look at them for even a second.

Even Qi Hengfeng, who had been carrying them all the way, felt that his hands no longer belonged to him.

An Jiuxi coughed lightly, a little awkwardly, "Did you bring the things?"

She doesn't usually sleep this late; today it's purely because of that dream.

It's really strange.

"I brought it, I brought it!" Qi Hengfeng quickly pointed to the things on the coffee table, "Sister-in-law, this, this thing, it..."

An Jiuxi dismissed the strange feeling in her heart, "Hmm?"

"It's a finger bone!" Just thinking about it sends chills down Qi Hengfeng's spine.

Upon hearing this, An Jiuxi frowned.

He quickened his pace to the coffee table and reached for the red silk pouch.

"Sister-in-law," Jin Yu called out, her expression somewhat worried.

An Jiuxi chuckled lightly upon seeing this, "It's alright."

She was already beautiful, but her smile was like the first melting of winter snow and the blooming of a hundred flowers, dazzlingly beautiful.

Qi Mingxuan, who was sitting silently to the side, was completely stunned.

Qi Hengfeng was a little better; although he was somewhat dazed, he quickly came to his senses.

He cursed himself inwardly, quickly composed himself, and stared longingly at An Jiuxi.

An Jiuxi untied the red silk bundle, took out the finger bone fragment, examined it carefully, and spoke with a somewhat solemn tone.

"It's actually a baby's finger bone! What a vicious thought!"

Qi Hengfeng was startled by her tone, his face turning pale. "Sister-in-law, what happened to the baby's finger bone?"

“There are many kinds of resentment in the world, among which infants are the most resentful. Because infants have no intelligence and die before they have a chance to experience the world, they must be filled with boundless resentment.”

An Jiuxi put the finger bone back into the red silk pouch, wrapped it up, and stuffed it into her pocket. "At first, I thought he just wanted to use the Soul-Capturing Technique to control you and achieve some goal. But now it seems he wants more than just that; he wants to kill!"

"Kill...kill...kill people?" Qi Hengfeng felt his legs go weak.

Jin Yu, who was standing to the side, was also quite frightened.

It was Qi Mingxuan, the younger man, who was a bit bolder and remained relatively calm as he looked at An Jiuxi, "Then, Auntie, do you have a solution?"

An Jiuxi smiled and said, "Fortunately, he has grand ambitions and is not in a hurry to take your lives. However, the yin energy entering your bodies has caused some damage, but it's not a big problem."

Looking at her smiling face, Qi Mingxuan felt a flush on his face and unconsciously looked away.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie, to save my father."

An Jiuxi hummed in agreement. "You guys stay here today. I'll go buy some things later and then I'll tell you what to do when I get back."

The Qi family of three nodded hurriedly; even if An Jiuxi didn't want them to stay, they weren't planning to leave.

The thought that they had lived in the same room with a finger bone for several years made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

After An Jiuxi finished speaking, she prepared to leave.

Just then, the old man returned from practicing Baduanjin. "Xixi, are you going out?"

Xi Xi?

An Jiuxi was stunned. When she first met him last night, he was still Miss An, but after sleeping, he became "Xixi"?

Are all members of the Jin family naturally outgoing and friendly?

His expression remained calm. "Yeah, I'm going out to buy some things."

"Have you had breakfast? Where are you going? Let the driver take you." The old man was very enthusiastic.

It's not the old man's fault; it's just that after An Jiuxi came, he felt that the air in the Jin family home had become sweeter.

Normally, if he interrupts a section of the Eight Pieces of Brocade exercise, he will at least feel tired, if not out of breath.

But not at all today; he even felt he could do three more!

Although he didn't know the specific reason, he had a vague feeling that it must be related to An Jiuxi.

Nature was kind to her.

An Jiuxi originally wanted to say she wouldn't eat, but her stomach made an untimely "groan".

The words that were on the tip of my tongue turned out to be, "Okay, I'll go out after I've had breakfast."

After breakfast, the driver took An Jiuxi to the largest antique street in Yuncheng.

Fewer and fewer people believe in esoteric practices these days, making it increasingly difficult to do business in the esoteric arts.

That's why An Jiuxi was surprised; the Jin family's acceptance of mystical arts was abnormally high.

On the way here, An Jiuxi had already calculated the location she needed to find, so after getting off the car, she went straight to an antique shop in the corner.
