"Sister, I'm so hungry..."

Ling Yi walked to Ling Yue's side, took her hand, and said somewhat shyly.

Lu Boqing wasn't embarrassed at all: "Ling Yue, the location of your shop isn't good. The barbecue restaurant next door smells too tempting."

At this moment, the black stone in the bag was clearly getting restless. Well, even Sweetheart couldn't hold back anymore.

The group went directly to the barbecue restaurant next door.

The cashier was a plump woman with a full forehead and a ruddy complexion.

He was busy at the moment, greeting new guests and settling accounts for those who had finished eating. He was quick and efficient, and his voice was loud and clear.

"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, are you in the lobby on the first floor or in a private room on the second floor?"

Ling Yue felt inexplicably happy when she heard others call her a beautiful woman.

"Beautiful proprietress, may we go to the private room on the second floor? Thank you."

Ling Yue knew that Lin Heng had something to say to her. Her shop was dirty and messy and not suitable for staying for long, so she took advantage of the mealtime to sit down and talk in detail.

Then, a waiter came forward and offered to lead them to the private room on the second floor.

As soon as the group reached the stairs, they heard a customer in the lobby slamming a plate and yelling.

Startled by Ling Yi, Lu Boqing frowned and looked at the source of the sound.

"Do you even know how to have a conversation?"

The person who was yelled at for smashing the plate stood up defiantly and poked the other man's chest with his finger: "Are you fucking tired of living? How dare you yell at me like that?"

The couple's friends at the table stood up and advised them not to argue, saying it was just a meal and it shouldn't have come to this. The waiter also promptly cleaned up the broken plate.

To everyone's surprise, the person who started smashing the plate continued to rant: "I've had enough of your arrogant attitude all the time. Who do you think you are, acting like your boss all day long!"

As he spoke, he immediately punched the other person, and the punch was quite heavy. The person staggered, but luckily someone was there to support him, otherwise he would have really fallen to the ground.

The two started punching and kicking each other, and bystanders couldn't stop them.

Seeing that things were not going well, the proprietress immediately called the police.

Lu Boqing said coldly, "Let's go. Watching this will ruin my appetite."

Ling Yue glanced at the two people with some concern several times before following the group up to the private room on the second floor.

The group quietly ordered their food according to their preferences. After they finished ordering, Ling Yue watched the waiter leave the private room before daring to speak: "I saw a male ghost next to the man downstairs who was smashing plates. The ghost above his head was labeled 'Ghost of a Violent Death,' without any rank."

Lu Boqing pulled out a Rubik's Cube from somewhere and tossed it to Ling Yi, who picked it up excitedly and started fiddling with it.

Then, Lu Boqing calmly took a sip of tea: "Ling Yue, open the Ghostly Drawing Talisman and start taking orders."

Ling Yue was confused, but she had already taken out her phone and opened the garbled characters.

While scrolling through the tasks in the task list, Ling Yue asked, "What kind of task do you want to take?"

"Just search for 'exorcising low-level violent ghosts,' and then randomly select a high-priced quest."

Ling Yue did as instructed, and there were indeed many such tasks. After comparing the prices of various companies, Ling Yue chose one with a relatively high price and accepted the order.

Completing this order will earn you 18.8 merit points; the price with the decimal point is the discounted price.

"Qingqing, are you going to perform a ritual to help the spirit of that violently deceased person I just saw find peace?"

"Okay, let's take the orders first, and get back to work after we finish eating."

Soon, the grilled meat and vegetables they ordered were served one by one. Lin Heng moved the grilled pork belly that Ling Yue liked to her seat.

"Thanks, Skinny Monkey. By the way, didn't you have something to tell me? Lu Boqing is my partner. He's very capable. We're on the same side, so there's no need to hold back."

Lin Heng had actually been observing Lu Boqing the whole time. He only half understood the conversation between Lu Boqing and Ling Yue, but he roughly understood that he also knew that Ling Yue could see ghosts.

After hearing Ling Yue's explanation, Lin Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he took out his briefcase from behind him and carefully took out something wrapped in a silk scarf.

Ling Yue curiously moved closer to the thing: "What is this?"

Lin Heng unfolded the silk scarf, revealing a vermilion-red dragon head biting something that looked like a very small incense burner. It was a wooden object, entirely vermilion red.

Ling Yue had never seen anything like this before. Was it some kind of ornament?

Before Lin Heng could explain, Lu Boqing suddenly stood up and walked forward to examine the object carefully.

"This is a Taoist ritual implement called an incense burner, used to suppress ghosts. Nowadays, very few people use this kind of thing."

Just as Ling Yue was about to ask where this thing came from, the black stone in her bag suddenly became very agitated. Was it because Sweetheart couldn't wait to eat barbecue?

Ling Yue quickly opened her bag, and the black stone rushed out. Then, Sweetie crawled out of it, clutching her hair and screaming in pain.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong? Sweetheart!"

Ling Yue rushed forward to comfort her, but Lu Boqing stopped her: "Don't touch her, she's lost her mind. Quickly put that thing away!"

Lin Heng quickly used a silk scarf to put away the strangely shaped incense burner. The moment he put the incense burner away, Sweetheart's head seemed to hurt less, and she stopped desperately pulling at her hair.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Ling Yue stepped forward and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, sweetheart. Were you very scared of that thing just now?"

Sweetheart looked into Ling Yue's eyes before giving her a firm tap on the head.

"Lin Heng, where did you get this?"

"I was just about to tell you this. When the pile foundation was being driven at the construction site, I was inspecting the site when the workers said they had hit something. Later, they dug out a very heavy iron box, and when they opened it, they saw that this thing was very well wrapped up."

He didn't dare take it out, but just patted his briefcase.

He continued, "The first thing that came to my mind was that it was related to that female ghost, so I put it away, thinking I'd show it to you."

Why did Sweetheart react so strongly when this was taken out?

"Maybe they used that thing to suppress Sweetheart."

Lu Boqing kept talking and also took care of Ling Yi from time to time, bringing him food that children could eat.

"Hurry up and eat, we still have things to do later."

Seeing that Lu Boqing didn't seem to care much about this matter, Ling Yue didn't say much. Since they had just arrived at Baiyun Temple, she could just have Chuxin take a look at this thing after dinner. Since it was a Taoist artifact, he would definitely know what it was about.

Seeing that Tianxin was still a bit weak, Ling Yue asked the waiter to bring some disposable plates since she had already come out. She then took a portion of each type of grilled meat from the table and placed them on the disposable plates on the cabinet behind the table.

"Sweetheart, aren't you hungry too? Try this barbecue restaurant while it's hot and see how it tastes."

Sweetheart immediately beamed with joy and soon devoured all the food on the disposable plate.

He even let out a soft burp.

This amused Ling Yue, and then she consciously crawled back into the black stone.
