Chapter 20

The woman softened her voice and begged Shen Chun miserably. Those who were indecisive had already been bewitched by this voice and began to plead for mercy for her.

“How can you be so heartless? She already knows her mistake. Shouldn’t you forgive her?!”

Master Bei Chen, who was on the ground, also stood up shakily and tried to stop Shen Chun. However, before he could reach Shen Chun, he was thrown over by the old man and fainted again.

“You’re unrepentant!”

Shen Chun’s gaze was firm. In a few seconds, the black fog completely dissipated, turning into a ball of black gas that evaporated in the air.

Their surroundings gradually returned to normal, and even the sky brightened. Everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Chun with admiration.

Shen Chun ignored them and walked towards Master Bei Chen quickly. Before the master woke up, a black caterpillar suddenly crawled out of his forehead with difficulty.

“Why did this bug come out of his head?”

Shen Chun stomped the caterpillar to death and said, “This is a Gu worm. It carries the evil aura of the female ghost from just now and can communicate with the female ghost at any time.”

Zhao Chen was puzzled. “What’s going on?”

Shen Chun explained, “Someone sent that pottery figurine to your shop some time ago, right? The thing is real, but there’s a female ghost inside. This female ghost’s cultivation isn’t deep, so she can only absorb the essence of females. The boss’ wife interacts with her every day and gets the most essence absorbed, so she fell ill.”

“This fraud probably had a deal with the female ghost, so your wife woke up afterwards. Therefore, Mr. Zhao, you guys were all deceived by him.”

Zhao Chen couldn’t care less about Master Bei Chen now. He grabbed Shen Chun’s sleeve and said, “Master, what about my wife? Can she be saved?”

“She can only slowly recuperate from the loss of vitality. Plant a few peach trees and plum trees in this courtyard. Every day, from nine to eleven o’clock, and from one to three in the afternoon, she has to come out to bask in the sun.” Shen Chun threw three yellow talismans to Zhao Chen and said, “At twelve o’clock every day, burn this and feed it to her. Your wife will wake up in three days.”

After Zhao Chen took the three yellow talismans, he bowed repeatedly and said, “Thank you, Master. Thank you! I was ignorant previously, so I’d like to apologize. You saved my wife, so I’ll give you as much money as you want. What do you think of 20 million? If it’s too little, I can add more!”

20 million!

Shen Chun widened her eyes. “So much money?!”

“It’s not much!” The old man said, “Mr. Zhao has a lot of money. Besides, you saved his and his wife’s lives. Even if he paid you 50 million, it wouldn’t be too much!”

After Shen Chun calculated what she could do with 20 million yuan, she rejected Zhao Chen’s suggestion. “I can’t accept this money.”

The Xuan Sect had its own rules. They couldn’t accept undeserved wealth. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to their cultivation.

“You just need to pay me for the yellow paper and cinnabar.” After Shen Chun calculated, she extended her hand towards Zhao Chen. “A total of 500 yuan.”

Zhao Chen didn’t expect Shen Chun to turn down the money. A hint of admiration flashed across his eyes. “Since you don’t want money, let’s be friends instead. Although I, Zhao Chen, am not very capable, I have some prestige in this area.” With that, he handed Shen Chun a business card.

The surrounding people followed suit and said that they wanted to be friends with Shen Chun.

Although this business deal wasn’t successful, she could still do other businesses, so she took out her phone and said, “Other than exorcising ghosts, I can also read fortunes. It’s definitely accurate and cheap! Do you guys want to give me your contact details?”

Everyone agreed. Shen Chun looked at the list of rich potential customers on her phone and said happily, “Let’s keep in touch in the future.”

The old man nodded quickly and instructed Shen Chun, “I’m the one with the green profile picture. My name is Zhou Bo.”

Shen Chun found the name familiar, but she didn’t think too much about it. After she put away her phone, she saw that Master Bei Chen, who was on the ground, had opened an eye.

Seeing that he had been discovered by Shen Chun, Master Bei Chen immediately closed his eyes and pretended that he had not woken up yet.

Shen Chun sneered and walked over to kick Master Bei Chen.

“Don’t pretend to be dead when you’re awake. Otherwise, I’ll really send you to hell!”
