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

Chapter 252 We committed suicide.

After much back and forth among the five voices, they ultimately chose to believe Shi Xiaxia.

They dispersed their yin energy and stopped hindering Shi Xiaxia.

Shi Xiaxia then put away the talisman and walked into the mud house through the door frame.

Stepping into this mud house, an aura of decay and desolation hits you.

The room was cluttered and overgrown with weeds.

Looking up, only half of the roof remained, teetering on the verge of collapse, and moonlight shone through the broken roof onto the weeds.

In the very center of the house, a sword was stuck straight into the ground.

The sword was covered in mottled rust, and the hilt was so rotten that its original material and appearance were indistinguishable.

Shi Xiaxia didn't have time to look at what was going on with the sword. She glanced around the room and saw five fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls hugging each other.

Then one of the ghosts pointed with her finger, and Shi Xiaxia followed her gaze and found Xie Yun's resting place.

Xie Yun was lying on the haystack, curled up, her lips chapped and her face pale.

"Sister Xie!" Shi Xiaxia hurriedly went over.

She knelt on the hay, half-lifted Xie Yun, and then touched her cheek. Her temperature was high, and she had a low-grade fever.

Shi Xiaxia checked Xie Yun's body again and found that she still had some wounds on her body, which showed signs of infection.

"Sister Xie,"

Shi Xiaxia grabbed Xie Yun's wrist, channeling some spiritual energy into her while calling out, "Sister Xie?"

Sister Xie was injured and had been in the gloomy mud house for quite some time. Even a person made of iron would not be able to withstand it.

However, with Shi Xiaxia's spiritual energy input, Xie Yun opened his eyes in just three or four minutes.

"Xia...Xia Xia?" Xie Yun called out in a hoarse voice, somewhat unsure of what to say.

"It's me, Sister Xie."

Shi Xiaxia held Xie Yun's hand, letting her feel her body temperature: "After Qiao Zihao found out he couldn't contact you, he told me, which is why I was able to come and save you."

"Is it really Xiaxia?" Xie Yun's eyes welled up with tears.

She only managed Shi Xiaxia for a short time and wasn't particularly kind to her, yet Shi Xiaxia risked her life to save her. But her parents...

"It's alright, Sister Xie, it's alright."

Shi Xiaxia knew Xie Yun was upset, so she hugged her and comforted her, saying, "You have a fever right now, and we can't leave for the time being. If you're too upset, it will only make your condition worse."

"Mm," Xie Yun replied, suppressing her emotions.

"Sister Xie is awake!"

"They really came to rescue Sister Xie! That's wonderful!"

"That's great! That's great! Sister Xie is saved!"

"Luckily someone came, otherwise Sister Xie might have had to keep us company."

......

The five female ghosts hiding in the corner were chattering away, clearly happy that Xie Yun had been saved.

Hearing other sounds, Xie Yun looked up.

Her pupils contracted when she noticed the five girls indistinctly visible, clearly showing some shock.

However, she suddenly remembered something, and her expression immediately softened.

Xie Yun grabbed Shi Xiaxia's arm and said quickly, "Xiaxia, don't hit them! They saved me! That's why I wasn't taken back!"

Although Xie Yun had been in a daze for the past few days, she could sometimes hear chattering sounds around her, as they were concerned about when she would wake up.

"Don't worry, Sister Xie."

Shi Xiaxia smiled and patted Xie Yun's hand: "Their souls are clean, so they obviously haven't harmed anyone yet. I won't do anything to them."

Xie Yun was completely relieved after receiving Shi Xiaxia's assurance.

The five female ghosts then became bolder.

They moved closer to Shi Xiaxia and Xie Yun, seemingly wanting to check on Xie Yun's condition.

"Don't come any closer,"

Shi Xiaxia raised her hand to stop them: "The yin energy on you is too heavy, which will make Sister Xie even weaker."

This is why Xie Yun, despite not being seriously injured, fell into a coma.

The yin energy of one ghost may not have a significant impact on the living, but if there are five, the erosion of their yin energy can be fatal!

The five ghosts immediately hid far away again and obediently nodded.

Shi Xiaxia looked at Xie Yun, then at the five female ghosts, and asked, "How did you all die?"

She found it strange what these five female ghosts had experienced in their previous lives.

Normally, if someone dies far from a village, and is only fourteen or fifteen years old, they must have encountered something terrible, so they should have some resentment.

"We committed suicide!" the five ghosts said in unison.

"suicide?"

Now it was Shi Xiaxia's turn to be confused: "Why commit suicide?"

"Because we don't want to get married!" the five ghosts answered in unison once again.

After they finished speaking, the slightly older female ghost said, "My name is Mai Miao. My parents plan to marry me off to a bachelor in his thirties, just because the bachelor promised to give my parents two bags of good rice."

"Me too!"

The second female ghost chimed in, "I've never even seen what that person looks like, whether he's ugly or beautiful, but my parents are going to marry me off to him!"

......

After the group finished chattering about their reasons for wanting to commit suicide, Shi Xiaxia and Xie Yun fell silent.

They were only fourteen or fifteen years old, the youngest being only thirteen, and they were about to be married off.

To put it bluntly, it's like selling something as a commodity.

No wonder they...

"So that's how it is!" Xie Yun murmured.

She grew up in the village, and Xie Yun knew some of the rumors about the deaths of the people.

She said, "The villagers all say that bad people came, humiliated you, killed you, and set this place on fire."

"no no!"

One of the ghosts waved his hands repeatedly and said, "That's not how it is. We committed suicide, and we set the fire ourselves. We were afraid of being sent to a ghost marriage after death, so we came up with this perfect solution."

After the female ghost finished explaining, Shi Xiaxia and Xie Yun were completely speechless.

They don't even spare the corpses after they've died!

Are they parents?! Are they even human?!

After a moment of silence, Shi Xiaxia pointed to the sword in the center of the room and asked, "What's the deal with this sword? And what about the suppression?"

Before Shi Xiaxia came in, she heard a ghost say that they were being suppressed here.

The girl named Mai Miao said, "After we died, we found that we had become ghosts. We were very happy and excited, and we would run around and play at night when we had nothing to do."

Later, we must have frightened some villagers and children, who said that we had turned into vengeful ghosts and wanted to take revenge.

Not long after, an old man with a white beard arrived, beat us up, and then used that sword to suppress us here.
