Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Xie Yun and Mu Yun also knew that Shi Xia and Xia Zhi were not in the entertainment industry, so they did not arrange too much work for her.

Nevertheless, she still needs to occasionally appear in the public eye to maintain a certain level of fame.

After participating in a series of activities, Shi Xiaxia finally bid farewell to the bustling capital city and embarked on her journey to Baishui Mountain.

However, before going to Baishui Mountain, she accepted a new mission, so she stayed in Helian City for two days.

After some twists and turns, Shi Xiaxia finally found the hot spring guesthouse according to the address provided.

This hot spring guesthouse is located in a relatively remote area and looks somewhat old and dilapidated from the outside.

However, the surrounding environment was unusually quiet, making one feel as if they were far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The architectural style of the guesthouse complements the surrounding natural environment. The wooden structure paired with the rustic decorations creates an atmosphere of returning to nature and simplicity.

Shi Xiaxia rented one of the rooms and then went inside to take a closer look.

The rooms are spacious and comfortable, each equipped with all necessary facilities, and overall they look clean and tidy.

However, she didn't waste too much time on these things, but instead took out the task documents and began to read them.

According to the mission file, some guests who stay at this hot spring inn always die from health problems, even though they were healthy and had no abnormalities before their deaths.

Furthermore, the investigation revealed that these incidents were not related to the guesthouse owner, and no unusual circumstances were found in the guesthouse, leaving the local police at a loss.

They also tried closing the guesthouse, but if they tried to force it to close, the owner would open the door in a panic and vehemently oppose the closure.

Otherwise, the guesthouse owner will make a huge scene, since the deceased traveler seems to have nothing to do with the guesthouse owner.

Ultimately, these matters could only be left unresolved.

However, despite these events, the business of this hot spring inn was not significantly affected.

Therefore, when Xiaxia arrived here, there was only one room left to choose from.

After checking her room, Shi Xiaxia began to wander around the guesthouse.

The guesthouse has three floors and only nine rooms, filled with all sorts of guests, including two young couples, married couples, and single men, etc.

The entire guesthouse was very lively.

Shi Xiaxia was wandering around casually when she happened to see the guesthouse owner, Song Wude, talking to a guest.

They were talking about trivial news and interesting things happening around the area.

Shi Xiaxia stopped and looked at Song Wude with her eyes.

Song Wude was about forty years old and obese. Although he had a smile on his face, he did not give people a friendly feeling.

The man's face revealed a hint of ruthlessness. He spoke with a non-local accent and seemed to be just an ordinary person running a bed and breakfast to make a living.

However......

Only Shi Xiaxia knew that the reason he chose this lifestyle was entirely because of the crime he had committed—murdering his wife.

The guesthouse was filled with a peculiar smell, a mixture of putridity, ghostly energy, and the aura of spirits.

Normally, spirits and ghosts don't coexist in the same room, but here, their scents are intertwined.

Despite having carefully searched every corner of the guesthouse, Shi Xiaxia was still unable to find the mysterious entity.

Even if she couldn't find the thing right now, Shi Xiaxia knew it must be hiding in the guesthouse.

So she went back to her room, took out some talismans, and carefully set up an array to envelop the entire guesthouse in a protective barrier.

Next, she posted talismans in other rooms to protect the residents from harm.

Once everything was ready, Shi Xiaxia arrived at the courtyard where she would soak in the hot spring.

This is the only relatively spacious part of the entire guesthouse.

At night, she planned to catch that mysterious thing here.

However, before Xiaxia could fully step into the courtyard, she could faintly hear the voices of a man and a woman coming from inside.

Although the sound wasn't loud and was clearly suppressed, it was still perfectly clear to Shi Xiaxia, whose five senses were highly sensitive.

"Su Zhizhi!"

The man's voice carried a hint of barely suppressed anger: "You already promised me?! Are you going to go back on your word now?"

"But she is, after all, my good friend..."

Su Zhizhi's voice was trembling with tears in it: "Zhao Wu, can't we just stop doing this?"

"Okay!"

Zhao Wu sneered, his laughter filled with sarcasm: "Then let's break up!"

"do not want!"

Su Zhizhi pleaded, "You promised to be with me forever! You can't go back on your word!"

Su Zhizhi seemed to have grasped at the last straw, desperately trying to salvage their relationship.

She and Zhao Wu have been together for so many years, she can't live without him.

She can't break up with Zhao Wu!

Zhao Wu casually replied, "Fine, we can stay together. Then if I find someone else later, you can't say anything."

"No, no, no!" Su Zhizhi's voice was filled with despair.

But she seemed afraid of being overheard, so she kept her voice down.

"Then what do you want?"

Zhao Wu asked impatiently, "I told you the method, but you disagree and still want to make demands of me."

Su Zhizhi, don't forget, you were the one who brought this up first!

"I...I don't know..." Su Zhizhi said, sobbing.

"Humph!"

Zhao Wu snorted coldly: "Anyway, I'm telling you, you have to do it in the next few days! Otherwise, I'm definitely breaking up with you!"

After Zhao Wu finished speaking, all that remained was Su Zhizhi's sobbing.

He seemed to just watch Su Zhizhi cry the whole time, without saying a single word of comfort.

Time passed by, and after a few minutes, Su Zhizhi finally stopped crying.

She raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and said with a hint of determination, "Alright, then this will be the only time!"

But you must promise me that after this is over, you'll behave yourself and absolutely cannot go looking for other women! Otherwise…”

As she said this, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.

"Of course! Darling, I promise I'll only be devoted to you from now on!" Zhao Wu nodded quickly, his tone immediately becoming gentle and ingratiating.

He held Su Zhizhi tightly, whispering sweet nothings to reassure her.

Shi Xiaxia listened quietly to their conversation and had a general idea of ​​the couple's plan.

A slight, mocking smile appeared on her lips.

Then, she secretly used a spell to inject a weak spiritual energy into Zhao Wu's body.

For the foreseeable future, Zhao Wu will likely be powerless to do so!
