Reborn as a heiress, she transforms into a ruthless vengeful woman.

"No, I can't go."

Upon hearing that Jianglan Garden was a house given to her by Ye Xinghe's family and that she hadn't even lived there yet, Hua Qingmeng immediately rejected the idea.

Ye Xinghe reassured her, "Don't worry, it's absolutely safe. There are very few people living here now, and it's one apartment per floor. Most importantly, the soundproofing is excellent."

As one of the top high-end residential complexes in Jiangyang City, Jianglanyuan uses absolutely first-class decoration and building materials.

Not only are the outer walls thick, but the interior also has soundproof walls.

Whether it's a couple arguing, disciplining their children, or even holding a personal concert at home, the neighbors can't hear a thing; they are very protective of the homeowners' privacy.

“It’s not a matter of whether the house is safe or not. No one has lived in the new house yet, and we’re bringing such a ghost into it. That’s absolutely unacceptable.” Hua Qingmeng had half a sentence, “I’m not at ease,” on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back down.

"There's no need to be so particular. The most important thing now is to get rid of this thing. Otherwise, where are we going to find the kind of place the master mentioned?"

Immediately, the car fell silent.

"Why don't you ask Master Nalong if there are any customs or traditions associated with moving to a new house in Siam?" Ye Xinghe had a sudden inspiration. "We can prepare some things and treat it as a housewarming party for me."

Hua Qingmeng remained silent for a moment before reluctantly agreeing.

At the same time, purchasing real estate in Jiangyang City was added to the list of urgent tasks.

Hua Qingmeng talked with Master Nalong for a long time, and wrote down everything that needed to be prepared for moving to the new house and the things that would be used for the evening's ritual.

Only after confirming repeatedly that it would not cause any harm to the homeowner could one feel at ease.

I also called around to ask about the housewarming customs in Longguo and Jiangyang.

Everything was purchased, filling the trunk to the brim.

The four of them headed to Jianglan Garden.

This was Ye Xinghe's first time visiting the new house. The house was fully furnished, with basic amenities in the kitchen and bathroom.

The house also has some simple furniture, such as a coffee table, dining table, and chairs. One of the bedrooms also has a bed and a wardrobe, all of which were given to Mr. Ye when he bought the house.

Ajarn Narong entered the living room, moved the coffee table to the center of the house, and began setting up the altar for the housewarming ceremony.

He took out a white cloth from his bag and spread it on the coffee table. Then he took out a golden Buddha statue and some ritual implements. He then began to arrange incense, candles, incense burners, candlesticks, flowers and offerings, all of which had just been purchased.

Finally, a golden bowl was taken, filled with water, and placed on the coffee table. An auspicious time was chosen, and the ceremony officially began.

Ajarn Narong sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table and began reciting scriptures.

Hua Qingmeng whispered, "This is a blessing scripture, praying for the owner of the house."

After the chanting, Master Nalong took out a bundle of golden thread from his cloth bag.

He placed one end of the thread under the Buddha statue, took the ball of thread to a corner of the living room, then walked clockwise around the living room, finally returning to the Buddha statue, where he put the thread away and placed it beside him.

Master Nalong gestured for Ye Xinghe to sit opposite him, with his palms facing upwards. Then, he dipped his fingers in the water from the golden bowl and, while reciting scriptures, sprinkled the water onto Ye Xinghe's palms and head.

After the recitation, the housewarming ceremony was successfully completed.

Hua Qingmeng took out a red envelope and handed it to Master Nalong.

Just then, Lin Hao walked in carrying several bags. "All done? Perfect timing for dinner! This is the most authentic Siamese restaurant in Jiangyang City! Please make do with this."

Ye Xinghe stepped forward to stop them, saying, "This money should be given to my master! And Brother Hao, how much did you pay for your meal? I'll transfer it to you."

"Do you have Siamese currency? You're not going to give him Chinese currency to spend back home, are you?" Hua Qingmeng teased. "Let's eat first, I'll pay you back later. It's Siamese custom to treat the master to a meal after the ceremony. He's not in a good condition to eat out, and the housewarming party should be held at home."

The four of them arrived at the dining table, where a variety of Siamese delicacies were laid out, along with small glutinous rice balls that Lin Hao had just cooked.

Hua Qingmeng conveyed Ye Xinghe's gratitude to Chef Nalong. She also told him that, fearing he might not be used to Chinese cuisine, she had specially ordered Siamese food to suit his taste.

Ajarn Narong put his hands together in a gesture of respect to Ye Xinghe.

After a hearty meal, the table was cleaned up.

Now let's get to today's main topic.

Ajarn Narong took out a wooden box and placed it on the table. As he spoke, Hua Qingmeng translated.

"Siamese amulets are divided into two types: positive amulets and negative amulets. Negative amulets are further divided into positive negative amulets and evil negative amulets. The one in front of us is an evil negative amulet."

"The positive Yin amulets have been blessed by high-ranking Siamese monks. Although they contain Yin elements, they are restrained by mantras. The blessing mantras of the evil Yin amulets are not orthodox Buddhist scriptures, and they contain extremely Yin ingredients, making them even more potent."

“Normally, amulets only become effective when the wearer recites a mantra to begin wearing them. But this one in the box is special; it will become effective as long as you wear it for a period of time.”

At this moment, Ye Xinghe's face was gloomy, and his tone was devoid of any emotion. "Please ask my master for me what the effects of this amulet are."

Hua Qingmeng continued translating: "This is a modified version of the Soul-Locking Swallow-Connecting Evil Yin Amulet. Its effects are to facilitate romance, enhance feelings, and make one's partner loyal."

Ye Xinghe's lips curled into a cold smile.

It seems my sudden change in attitude towards Chu Mofan forced him to use such a sinister item! Chu Mofan, oh Chu Mofan! I didn't expect you to lose your temper so quickly!

Ye Xinghe asked in confusion, "Master, not long after I fell asleep last night, I dreamed that the person who gave me the necklace came to knock on the door, but I didn't open it. Could it be related to this amulet?"

Hua Qingmeng translated the words verbatim to Ajarn Nalong, and then said to Ye Xinghe, "It is related to the amulet. The reason you haven't opened the door may be because the porcelain jar played a certain role, and also because you subconsciously reject this person. Therefore, you haven't entered the realm of dark magic yet."

Ye Xinghe nodded gently, and then recounted the story of the fox-headed, human-bodied person knocking on the window in her dream.

During Hua Qingmeng's translation, Ye Xinghe noticed that Ajarn's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes became brighter and more piercing.

After a moment of silence, Ajarn Narong slowly spoke.

The gist is that Chu Mofan was also wearing a Buddhist amulet, presumably a fox-themed amulet. Foxes are masters of seduction, capable of captivating and winning back lost love, even salvaging broken relationships.

Ajarn speculated that the two dark amulets were somehow connected, which is why Ye Xinghe's amulet would be effective even without the introductory mantra.

Lin Hao, who was standing to the side, was extremely agitated and cursed Chu Mofan and the entire family of the person who made the Yin amulet.

Ye Xinghe remained calm, showing no sign of fear or anger. Having witnessed Chu Mofan's treacherous and ruthless nature in her previous life, she was not surprised by this.

Hua Qingmeng said, "Master also asked you, has anyone touched your fingernails or hair?"

Ye Xinghe glanced at him thoughtfully. "I don't think I've ever had my fingernails, but I'm not sure about my hair. I used to live in a dormitory, so it would be easy for someone to get my hair."

"Could you ask the master for me if it's okay to wear this amulet after the contents have been cleaned?"

"What? You want to wear it too?" Lin Hao exclaimed in surprise.
