Chapter 75: We have talismans, what are we afraid of ghosts?
“Hehe, did everyone just see how ugly that person named Qi’s face was? It was like being pregnant by a man and then dumped.”
Qu Zhen said sarcastically on the misty forest path.
“What face? She hasn’t even dared to show her face for so long, she’s a shameless slut.”
Xie Mei chimed in from the side.
“I thought she was so powerful, but she was helpless with just a slight change in our rhythm. And she’s a cultivator, luckily we didn’t place our hopes on her.”
“Yes! I’m a bit worried about those villagers. Who knows if they’ll be eaten by ghosts halfway tomorrow.”
………
Huang Bo and Huang Long echoed one after another. It was truly a case of wives leading husbands. In this mortal world, the status of wives was ten thousand times higher than theirs.
“Stop talking, it’s getting late, we need to speed up!” Yi Ling reminded Si Wu Jiu Shi Jiu Fen.
Huang Kaiyou urged from the side. For some reason, he had a bad premonition, so he had been observing his surroundings constantly since leaving the village.
“What are you afraid of? We have protective talismans from the immortal sect. Let alone in broad daylight, even walking at night, we don’t need to worry.”
Qu Zhen said disrespectfully. The close-fitting talisman emitted a faint warmth, making her unafraid.
“Yes! I asked someone to bring this talisman back from the Prefecture Capital. It’s an authentic talisman from the HuXiao Sect, much stronger than that third-rate sect, the HongHua Sect.”
Xie Mei added. Although she hadn’t traveled much, she had heard of the fame of the HuXiao Sect.
“…”
Seeing his two daughters-in-law speaking so confidently, Huang Kaiyou couldn’t say anything more, but he still felt uneasy.
In fact, Huang Kaiyou had opposed the family setting off alone at first, but he couldn’t win against his two daughters-in-law, so he had to give in. After all, in the current family, the two daughters-in-law were in charge.
Huang Kaiyou kept looking around as usual. Just then, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind. Already on edge, he shivered violently, and the protective talisman on his body suddenly lost its warmth.
“Why did it suddenly get so cold?”
Huang Kaiyou tightened his collar, but at that moment, he suddenly bumped into his wife, Zhou Fang, who was in front of him.
“Why did you stop all of a sudden?”
Huang Kaiyou complained.
“It wasn’t me who stopped, it was our daughter-in-law who stopped.”
Zhou Fang explained.
Huang Kaiyou tilted his head to look. He saw Qu Zhen, his younger daughter-in-law, who was walking at the front, standing still, her legs trembling, her eyes fixed ahead.
Huang Kaiyou also looked ahead. Because the fog was too thick, he could only see a distance of three to five Zhang. But there was nothing within his line of sight.
“Xiao Zhen, why are you standing there? Why aren’t you walking?”
Huang Kaiyou asked as gently as possible.
“The… road ahead… there’s a… a completely naked child standing on the road, can’t you… you guys see him?”
Qu Zhen pointed forward with a trembling finger and asked.
“No! Where’s the child?”
“Yes, where would a child come from in this barren wilderness? And completely naked, isn’t he cold?”
………
The young people behind them teased one after another.
Qu Zhen’s body trembled more and more violently. At this moment, she finally understood that she might have really encountered a ghost. She saw a child about one or two years old standing on the road about three Zhang away. Because his back was facing her, she couldn’t tell if it was a boy or a girl, but the skin on his body was abnormally strange, showing a deathly gray color only found on corpses.
“You… you really don’t see him?”
Qu Zhen looked back again to confirm.
“Zhen Zhen, stop messing around. How many times have you played this prank? Who would believe you now?”
Xie Mei behind her said impatiently.
Just as Qu Zhen was about to explain, her whole body began to tremble violently. This was because she discovered something extremely terrifying. Huang Bo, who was originally behind Xie Mei, had disappeared at some point, replaced by a woman in a white dress stained with blood. This woman was buried in Xie Mei’s back. Due to the angle, nothing could be seen except for a head of messy long hair.
Qu Zhen’s eyes darkened. She summoned up her courage and stretched her neck forward, trying to get a clear look at the woman’s face.
“Mom, I’ll count to three, and then you’ll come find me.”
Just then, Qu Zhen suddenly heard a child’s voice from behind her, sounding very close.
Qu Zhen instantly suffocated, the sound of her heart beating like thunder, causing her ears to ring.
Qu Zhen ignored the woman and mechanically turned her head again, but saw nothing in front of her. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt something moving inside the skirt between her legs, and it was desperately climbing up her foot, cold like an octopus.
Qu Zhen, in a panic, reached out to stop it, but the thing was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it crawled into her belly from below.
Thus, Qu Zhen watched her belly grow bigger and bigger. She was scared out of her wits, quickly grabbed her skirt, and then reached in to squeeze her abdomen, trying to drive the thing out.
“I found you! My baby!”
In her panic, a woman’s voice suddenly sounded in Qu Zhen’s ear. Before she could even react, she felt a piercing pain in her lower back. Then, an emaciated arm, reduced to skin and bones, directly pierced her abdomen and then ripped out the thing inside along with her intestines. The entire process was like gutting a chicken or duck.
Qu Zhen looked at her abdomen with a large hole in it and collapsed with a contorted expression. Before closing her eyes, she vaguely realized that there was no female ghost or baby ghost behind her, only Xie Mei, holding a dagger with a terrified expression…
………
Lying on the bed at night, Qi Huang began to think about her future path. As long as the worries were resolved, she could focus on strengthening her power. Moreover, with “Cat’s Eye Tears” as capital, she could issue bounties to collect things like Ghost Tomatoes, instead of having to find them herself like before.
“Honestly, I really can’t understand it. With your looks and cultivation level, why would you marry that Huang Qi? Not only is his appearance ordinary, but his cultivation level is also very low.”
Yao Yao spoke unexpectedly.
‘Am I really that bad?’
Qi Huang was somewhat speechless, but she still spoke in her own favor: “I think he’s quite handsome! And kind-hearted, respects the old and loves the young, is helpful, considerate, and gentle…”
“Stop! If you say any more, I’m going to throw up! As expected, women in love have an IQ of zero. Even we Nine Nether Demonic Cats are not as casual as you. If you don’t believe me, look at my sister. Although she’s kept with many male cats, she doesn’t give any of them a good look.”
Yao Yao couldn’t help but mock.
Qi Huang observed secretly and found it to be true, so she said in surprise: “Aren’t cats supposed to be very casual? I was even thinking about finding a nanny cat for her in advance.”
“Those are ordinary cats! We Nine Nether Demonic Cats have very high intelligence and are very devoted. We only find one partner in our lifetime, and we’re not accommodating to those we don’t like. We’re not like you.”
Yao Yao said proudly.
“That’s indeed remarkable, only finding one partner in a lifetime, which even most people can’t do. In today’s world, women in the mortal world are promiscuous, and men in the cultivation world are surrounded by many women. It’s simply a collapse of morality.”
Qi Huang praised sincerely.
Yi Er Lin San Liu Si Qi: Ling = Liu Qi Si) (8) “Can you do it?”
Yao Yao asked with a half-smile.
“Me? I can’t do it!”
Qi Huang answered as a matter of course. Her current identity was just a temporary role. In the future, she would have to return to a normal life and then find her true other half.
“I didn’t expect you to be such a promiscuous woman. Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell your husband?”
Yao Yao threatened disdainfully.
“Sure! You can tell him! He doesn’t mind anyway.”
Qi Huang said defiantly, like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
“How dare you criticize the world with someone like you?”
Yao Yao was amused to the point of getting angry.
Nothing happened overnight. Early the next morning, Qi Huang asked her clone to gather all the villagers to set off. However, she was still somewhat worried in her heart. What if she really encountered the corpses of her second uncle’s family along the way? She could handle it, but could her grandfather?
Due to her concerns, she kept releasing her spiritual sense to scout ahead.
