Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

The Strongest Fox-Demon (53)

“Just in time!” Instead of retreating, Chu Xiang advanced and flew directly in the direction of the ghost energy fluctuation.

Li Yufeng followed closely behind. The Daoist master shook his horsetail whisk solemnly but found that the two of them rushed forward without any preparation. This puzzled him anew. When he walked in, he saw Chu Xiang wrestling with a cloud of black mist. He couldn’t help expressing his surprise, “Has the evil spirit appeared? How is that possible? I didn’t force it out when I performed the ritual that day!”

Li Yufeng stared at the ongoing battle and said casually, “Boss Chu has profound magic power, so she naturally has a way to force the evil spirit to materialize.”

The Daoist master frowned. “Where did you come from? Why have I never heard of you?”

Li Yufeng replied indifferently, “Does it matter where we come from? Having real skills is enough.”

The Daoist master still wanted to question him more but Chu Xiang had already flung a whip to tie up the evil spirit tightly and dragged him over. She tossed the evil spirit to Li Yufeng, clapped her hands and said, “I caught it. Let’s interrogate why it’s doing evil here.”

The Daoist master was dumbstruck. He looked around, and sure enough, the gust stopped and the black mist dispersed. He couldn’t believe that Chu Xiang captured the evil spirit that made him helpless so quickly.

Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng had no intention of continuing chatting with him, so they just took the evil spirit and left. On the way back to Mrs. Chen’s courtyard, Li Yufeng had already tortured and interrogated the evil spirit. Its motive was quite saddening. After entering the courtyard, he relayed the reason to Lord Chen.

“This evil ghost is Mrs. Chen’s own sister. She said that she was supposedly your bride back then. Then she should have been Mrs. Chen now with a couple of children. It was because Mrs. Chen robbed her of her marriage that she married the wrong man, a poor and humble scholar. As a result, the man was unfaithful and treated her badly. When an accident happened to her natal family, you never left Mrs. Chen, but her husband married a concubine who persecuted her children and forced her to death. She is here to take revenge this time. She vowed to let Mrs. Chen also taste her suffering before she will give up.”

Lord Chen was stunned. It took him a while to recover and then shouted, “That’s nonsense! The marriage between me and my wife was the command of our parents and the words of the matchmaker. It was my wife that I was to marry from the beginning to the end, and I never had any dealings with her sister.”

Elder Madam Chen frowned and seconded, “That’s true. Our Chen family made a match with my educated and virtuous daughter-in-law and never considered her sister. What a fallacy! What kind of disaster is this? My daughter-in-law has helped her sister countless times. She is too unreasonable.”

The evil ghost could hear what they were saying and she was instantly stimulated. She poured a lot of things to prove that Mrs. Chen robbed her marriage. Because her description was too horrible, Chu Xiang didn’t let her materialize. Naturally, only the few of them with cultivation heard her voice, so Chu Xiang relayed her words.

Lord Chen felt angry and at the same time found things absurd when he heard them. The so-called snatching of marriage was just the evil ghost’s self-righteous belief. However, it was because the evil spirit was inferior to Mrs. Chen since she was a child. She was jealous in nature, so she was sensitive. She compared herself to the superior and harbored suspicions everywhere. After a long time, she even believed these beliefs and hated Mrs. Chen more and more to the point where she blamed Mrs. Chen for all her misfortunes.

However, most of her misfortunes were due to her abominable temper, which was disgusting and has nothing to do with Mrs. Chen. Even the death of her child and hers was due to serious illness, not her husband’s intentional negligence and persecution. Mrs. Chen really suffered an unfathomable disaster this time, and she suffered a lot from this undeserved catastrophe.

The truth finally came to light. No matter how much the evil spirit entangled Mrs. Chen, all the evil things she did were true. Chu Xiang slapped her down, and she disappeared in an instant without making a sound. She had seen evil spirits and understood their means. After entering the inner room for a while, she cleansed the Yin energy on Mrs. Chen’s body. With Bai You’s help, Bai Yi treated Mrs. Chen again, and she finally woke up.

All that was left on Mrs. Chen was external injury, which could be healed with careful nursing. There was no serious problem left. The Chen family was very grateful to them and immediately sent valuable gifts to express their gratitude.

After Mrs. Chen heard the ins and outs, she shed tears and sighed: “I didn’t expect it to be her. It is true that she married the wrong man and was deceived by that scholar, but if she had listened to my advice, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation today.”

Bai Yi heard her words and panicked for some reason. Before leaving, she looked back at Mrs. Chen several times, and became quite silent.

Li Yufeng noticed it and sent a voice transmission to Chu Xiang, saying, [Bai Yi has become more sensible.]

Chu Xiang smiled. [Daily contact with so many different people and things makes it easy for her to be sensible. My younger sister is initially obedient and sensible. She just values kindness and this had her views overshadowed by the trivial. It will take some time for her to understand all these things.]

[Indeed, but she is lucky to have you as her sister.]

[She got it herself. It took hundreds of years of sincere companionship to get a sister like me. You can’t envy her.]

Li Yufeng chuckled. [Why should I envy her now? Let’s go, our first transaction is completed. Let’s celebrate with a delicious meal!]
