Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (52)

Li Yufeng rubbed his chin, left somewhat speechless. [Why do I feel that you two demons are more righteous than a mortal like me? You really have the world in your hearts.]

[Wrong!] Chu Xiang smiled lightly. [We don’t care about the world. We just find it interesting.]

Bai You smiled gently and contributed, [No matter what it is for, it is a merit. Let’s go and heal the lady first.]

When the four of them arrived, Mrs. Chen’s courtyard was already full of people. The Elder Madam of the Chen family, the Elder Master, Mr. Chen, and the sons and young ladies of the family were all present, worried and afraid. There was also a Daoist master and a doctor.

Chu Xiang waved a jade pendant on Bai Yi to cover up her demonic aura and calmly entered the room to see how Mrs. Chen was doing.

Mrs. Chen’s face turned blue, her breath was weak, and her body was heavy with Yin energy. If she was left unattended, she wouldn’t last two more days.

The Daoist master invited by the Chen family was displeased upon seeing them, and he said, “Idlers, don’t make trouble here. Mr. Chen…”

The little maid promptly interrupted, “Master, this is the expert that Madam invited, and she is accurate. When we met in the teahouse before, this proprietress saw that Madam was haunted by an evil spirit at a glance, and she also asserted that Madam would suffer a bloody disaster within three days. Now that her prophecy has come true, let her take a look at Madam!”

“Oh?” Mr. Chen was the assistant minister of the Minister of Rites, and he was also exposed to such things frequently. Hearing this, he looked at Chu Xiang solemnly.

Chu Xiang’s appearance took him aback right from the get go. None of the three thousand concubines in the palace could compare with her. How did such a woman go unheard of? Then he discovered that Chu Xiang was extremely young. She was definitely around her twenties but her demeanor was unparalleled. She should not be underestimated.

Lord Chen bowed with cupped fists and said politely, “May I know how to call you, Master?”

Chu Xiang smiled gently and said, “You can just call me Boss Chu. I run the Chuji Teahouse. Besides selling tea, I also help people solve some difficult and unclassified diseases, just like your wife’s. Can I see Mrs. Chen?”

“Of course, Boss Chu, please.” Lord Chen has been in the officialdom for many years, and he believed in his own vision. He had an intuition that Chu Xiang had an extraordinary background, so he invited her to the bedside regardless of the Daoist master’s dissatisfaction. The Daoist master’s altar ritual was useless, so now he naturally pinned his hopes on Chu Xiang.

Bai Yi followed Chu Xiang to the bedside, and first took medicine from her medical chest for Mrs. Chen. The little maid explained things to Lord Chen in a low voice. Lord Chen took in Bai Yi’s skillful movements, mulled over it and did not stop her. Seeing that he didn’t raise any objections, the doctor next to him naturally didn’t either.

When Bai Yi was treating Mrs. Chen, Chu Xiang held Mrs. Chen’s hand and probed her condition with her spiritual power. The Yin energy was eroding her internal organs, and her condition was indeed serious.

Chu Xiang asked the little maid to bring cinnabar and talisman paper and painted three talismans with a brush. She silently chanted a spell and pasted them on Mrs. Chen’s forehead, dantian and soles.

Lord Chen couldn’t help asking, “Boss Chu, this is…”

Li Yufeng explained from the side, “That is to protect her from being assaulted and disturbed by the evil spirit and to protect her heart veins. For the time being, her injuries will not worsen, and the evil spirit can’t take advantage of it.”

“I see, good, good. Then, can this evil spirit be exorcized? Where is this evil spirit now?” Lord Chen frowned worriedly.

Holding the compass in his hand, Li Yufeng pointed to the northeast and said, “The evil spirit is in that direction. My Lord, don’t panic. It will be safe for everyone in the manor to gather here. I will follow Boss Chu to the northeast to exorcize the ghost.”

Chu Xiang nodded. “Exactly, you don’t have to follow, lest more trouble arise.”

The Daoist master disagreed. He must go and have a look. This involved his dignity and reputation. Whether Chu Xiang could exorcize ghosts or not, he must see what was going on with his own eyes. Chu Xiang couldn’t care less. Let him follow if he wanted to.

Consequently, Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng walked towards the northeast of Chen Manor with the Daoist master and his assistant behind them. The further they walked, the heavier the Yin energy. In Chu Xiang’s eyes, there was even a faint black mist condensing in the northeast.

Li Yufeng said in a low voice, “Be careful, don’t be careless with every shot you take.”

“I know.” Chu Xiang walked over briskly, opened her palm to draw a few stones and threw them randomly to form an array, blocking the path of the evil spirit.

The Daoist master frowned and questioned, “What array is this?”

Chu Xiang said with a smile, “I can’t tell you what kind of array it is. Everyone has to rely on their own abilities.”

All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew. The wind was biting cold and blowing dust everywhere. These shrouded the sky and swept the four of them into it in an instant.
