Chapter 565: The 565th Blooming With Joy Chapter 565: The 565th Blooming With Joy Xuexue looked at the mage with a strange expression on his face and immediately became alert. As she stepped backward, she asked, “Mage, what are you trying to do?”
With eyes shining, the mage advanced toward Xuexue step by step, “This mage wants to help you with exorcism, there’s no need for the little girl to be afraid. Just hurry to the bed.”
Exorcism that requires lying in wait on a bed? Go fool some ghosts.
Xuexue expressed her disbelief.
“Mage, don’t joke with me. I’ve never heard of needing to be on a bed for exorcism in all of history,” Xuexue spoke, while in her heart she was frantically calling for Xiao Taohong from the space inside, just in case she could be of any help in a special situation.
“Master, Master, what’s happening?” Xiao Taohong’s voice came from the space.
“Come out quick, there’s a charlatan here who wants to harm your master. Aren’t you going to come out and protect me?”
“What’s a charlatan?” Xiao Taohong was a little ghost eager to learn.
“It’s someone who pretends to ghost hunt and deceives people for their money, in short, a charlatan.”
“Ghost hunting?” As soon as she heard this, Xiao Taohong expressed her fear, “Master, you’re too cruel. You know I’m a ghost, yet you’re asking me to walk right into their hands? Isn’t this simply seeking death?”
“I just said he’s a charlatan, he’s a fake, what are you afraid of? It’s alright, just come out quickly.”
“How do you know for sure?”
Xiao Taohong didn’t believe it and still didn’t dare to come out. As the saying goes, better safe than sorry. She wanted to live on and become a thousand-year-old demon.
“Do I even need to say it? There are so many lost spirits and poltergeists outside that he can’t see, yet he can tell there’s evil in my house? How is my house haunted at all? If he isn’t a charlatan, then what is he?”
Xuexue’s eyes were extraordinary; she could see things others couldn’t. Mo Family Village had more than a few lost souls and poltergeists – older villagers who had passed away but lacked any real threat. For some reason, they wouldn’t move on to the next life and often roamed around the village. Xuexue would see them often and had to pretend she didn’t, fearing they might find out she could see them and cling to her. She certainly didn’t want her home to turn into a haunted house.
Just now, when she was in the courtyard, an Old Ghost hovered right in front of the mage, who couldn’t see it but still made authoritative gestures. If that wasn’t a charlatan, then what was? If he really had any skill, he would have captured that ghost long ago.
“Master, you forgot, didn’t you? Xiao Taohong is also a ghost living right in your house! It’s normal for there to be evil energy, maybe he saw mine.”
Xiao Taohong just wouldn’t come out, and that infuriated Xuexue, who threatened, “Fine, come out then. Your master might lose her life soon, and don’t you think you can survive either.”
Xiao Taohong had a Blood Covenant with Xuexue; if anything happened to Xuexue, her ghostly existence was at risk too.
“Master, isn’t it okay if I come out?” No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiao Taohong was already standing in front of Xuexue, her little mouth pouted in extreme grievance.
“I called you out to protect your master. Do you need to look so wronged?” Xuexue said, looking at her with a smile.
“Master, if Xiao Taohong ends up with her soul scattered because of this, you must remember my goodness. I’m risking this ghostly existence to come out and protect you.”
Xiao Taohong’s words were so melodramatically dire that they immediately amused Xuexue.
The mage couldn’t see Xiao Taohong and thought Xuexue was laughing at him! His heart bloomed with joy, thinking maybe the little girl had taken a liking to himself.
“Little girl, quickly get on the bed, so this mage can love you properly,” the mage dropped his pretense and reached out to pull Xuexue.
Xuexue’s eyes turned sharp, “Mage, please conduct yourself with dignity.”
