After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.

Chapter 40 Master Jia's talisman really sent Sweetheart flying!

Lin Heng then returned to Master Jia's question: "Yes, many other workers resigned and left because they were afraid."

"I understand. Let's go upstairs and come back tonight."

That makes sense. How could you encounter a ghost in broad daylight? It's much easier to do things at night.

Ling Yue looked up at Sweetheart hiding behind her. Wait a minute, isn't Sweetheart a ghost? How can she be following her during the day?

After the three of them got ashore, they saw that the young Taoist priest had somehow gotten a cushion and was sitting cross-legged on it. Next to him was an open briefcase, and he was eating spicy snacks while scrolling through his phone.

Ling Yue: ……

Lin Heng: ...

"Original intention, how many times have I told you! Spicy strips are unhygienic and you should eat less of them!" At this moment, Master Jia changed his previous composure and scolded like an angry parent.

The young Taoist priest quickly stuffed the remaining half-pack of chili peppers into his mouth, and then put the empty bag of spicy snacks into the trash bag he was carrying before starting to clean up the opened briefcase.

Ling Yue walked curiously to his briefcase, and when she saw what was inside, she was completely bewildered...

This isn't a briefcase, it's more like a snack box!

A whole box full of snacks, including Shuangwaiwai (a popular Chinese snack) and Want Want Little Buns?

Um, are you sure you're an adult? Are you sure you're here to exorcise a ghost?

"Um, Master Jia, is this young Taoist priest Chuxin really an adult?"

Watch out, or I'll report you for employing child labor!

"I'm 18 this year and just got my driver's license."

Chu Xin couldn't stand others questioning his age, so he argued his case forcefully.

"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding, little Daoist Chuxin, don't take it too seriously."

"Master, I have arranged your accommodations. Shall we go back and rest now?"

Lin Heng took the safety helmet from Master Jia and accidentally touched his hand.

Master Jia asked in a low voice, "Did a ghost drain your spiritual energy last night?"

Lin Heng looked at him in surprise. How did he figure that out?

Ling Yue felt a sudden sense of unease. Had the old man discovered Sweetheart?

Just as she was debating whether to tell Master Jia and the others about what happened last night, Master Jia glanced at me, didn't press me further, and instead took out a talisman from his pocket and gave it to Lin Heng: "Take this, keep it close to your body and no more ghosts will be able to absorb your spiritual energy."

Lin Heng quickly thanked him, took the talisman, looked it over, then neatly folded it and put it into the inside pocket of his shirt.

Master Jia refused Lin Heng's arrangement, saying that the Taoist temple had a travel allowance and all expenses could be reimbursed.

After seeing Master Jia and the young Taoist priest Chuxin off, Ling Yue excitedly asked, "Lin Heng, what does the talisman Master Jia gave you look like? I've only ever seen these things in movies, and I've never actually seen what they look like up close!"

As if knowing she would want to see it, Lin Heng reluctantly took it out of his inner pocket and unfolded it so she could see it clearly.

As soon as Ling Yue took the talisman, she heard Sweetheart being flung far away, accompanied by a piercing groan.

Ling Yue was startled. How could she have forgotten that Sweetheart had been following behind her the whole time?

Could this talisman really work?

At this moment, he didn't have time to look at it out of curiosity and simply returned it to Lin Heng untouched.

She turned and ran to Sweetheart's side: "Are you alright, Sweetheart? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

She shook her head and struggled to her feet, indicating that the talisman was indeed quite powerful.

"Lin Heng, did you bring that black stone? Sweetheart was injured because of Master Jia's talisman. Would it heal her if she attached it to the stone?"

"Wait, the stone is in my car, I'll get it right away."

While Lin Heng went to get the stone, Ling Yue wanted to ask Sweetheart Gentleman about his background and origins.

But no matter how many questions I asked, she just shook her head and didn't say a word.

This isn't right. Weren't we communicating smoothly before? Why can't you explain anything now?

Sweetheart pointed to her head and said with a pained expression, "It hurts so much here."

Sweetheart brushed her hair aside, lowered her head, and revealed the back of her head, showing it only to Ling Yue.

Ling Yue was shocked by what she saw. It turned out that Sweetie's entire back of the head had been smashed open with a large hole, the kind of hole that was smashed open by a blunt object...

Who could be so vicious as to do such a cruel thing to a girl?

Ling Yue knew she wouldn't get any answers from her; she must have been tortured to death before she died!

I suddenly felt so sorry for her; she's so beautiful and so young.

Lin Heng quickly brought over the black stone, and Ling Yue asked Sweetheart, "Can you still attach yourself to this stone? Can this stone heal wounds or something?"

Sweetheart nodded, seemingly feeling less pain, and then said to Ling Yue with a pitiful expression, "Yes, it hurts here because you asked me so many questions."

What does that mean? Is it because her head hurts when she recalls things from her past life? What exactly caused Sweetheart's amnesia?

Just as Ling Yue was lost in thought, Sweetheart demonstrated to her how she returned to the black stone.

It turned into a wisp of air and entered the stone, instantly turning the black stone into a crystal-clear gem that caught everyone's eye.

Lin Heng then exclaimed in surprise, "This is what the stone looked like when I first saw it. It could glow in the dark underground!"

Ling Yue said to the stone, "Sweetheart, you can stay in the stone for now. If you get hungry, you can come out and I'll buy you something delicious."

After Ling Yue finished speaking, she felt the stone in her hand become even more translucent. She smiled and said to Lin Heng, "Sweetheart is quite obedient. Lin Heng, can you sell me this stone? But I don't have any money right now. Can I give you an IOU first?"

"You can keep it for now. It's not of any use to me. This way, it will be easier for you to take care of Sweetheart."

Lin Heng is truly a good friend, and the fact that he could accept a female ghost like Sweetheart so quickly really surprised her.

"Skinny monkey, if you ever become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

After saying that, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng: ...

There was still time in the afternoon, so Lingyue had to rush back to her maternal grandmother's house, mainly because she hadn't finished the study tasks Ningxia had assigned her today.

The make-up exam is fast approaching, and she can't afford to be careless. She remembers being determined to get a scholarship in her last semester after her rebirth, but alas, one thing after another has left her with almost no time to study. It seems her initial resolution is about to fall through...
