“I heard him say that Master Mingxuan’s Buddhist cultivation is profound. You should be careful. I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t help you.”
Ning Xiangsi’s voice was full of worry. “I think you should go somewhere else and hide for a while.”
Tang Guo was amused. “Alright. I know.”
“You… I’m serious. Be careful.” Hearing her indifferent tone, Ning Xiangsi felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed. “I’ve said everything I can. There’s nothing more I can do. I’ll hang up now.”
“Wait.”
Tang Guo stopped her before she could end the call. She glanced around, found a relatively large tree branch, took out a bead, and placed it in the center of the fork before speaking again.
“Follow the direction I left earlier. There’s a large tree there. On one of its branches, I left a small bead.”
“I just calculated. In the future, you’ll have a lovely daughter. Let her wear that bead. Consider it payment for telling me that Master Mingxuan is coming to deal with me.”
Ning Xiangsi hurried to say, “I didn’t tell you this for any reward.” And besides, how could a ghost calculate that she would have a lovely daughter? It was unbelievable.
But then she thought of how Tang Guo could even perform rites to send spirits into reincarnation, and she found herself believing it.
“Whether you take it or not is your choice. I’ve already left the bead on the branch. It strengthens the body and can ward off evil.”
At the mention of warding off evil, Ning Xiangsi was tempted.
She had always been particularly prone to attracting spirits. Later, Fang Tianshi had helped her suppress it.
Her mother had the same constitution. It seemed that in their family, this trait passed to daughters but not sons.
“Then… thank you.”
Click.
The only response was the sound of the call ending. This time, Ning Xiangsi was not upset.
That unusual female ghost acted freely. There seemed to be nothing in this world she truly cared about.
Even when she killed those villains, even when she sent those spirits into reincarnation, there had been no pity or mercy in her eyes. She simply did what she wanted.
Killing bad people and crippling scoundrels was something she wanted to do.
Sending those spirits onward was also something she wanted to do.
Even giving her future daughter a gift was probably just a passing whim.
In comparison, humans did not live as freely as that ghost did.
At least Tang Guo dared to do whatever she wished. That fearless presence had truly shaken her.
Following Tang Guo’s instructions, she found the branch. The bead looked plain and ordinary, but she carefully put it away.
It was meant to ward off evil for her future daughter. Of course she had to keep it safe.
To avoid Fang Yunchi discovering it later, she decided not to mention that the bead came from Tang Guo. Otherwise he would surely be angry.
“Guoguo, why did you give her a defensive bead?”
Qin Jiu could not help but sigh. His ghost wife was truly wealthy. She had everything.
“I gave it because I felt like it. Do I need a reason?”
Though Qin Jiu could not see her expression, he could sense she was in a very good mood. “You gave away a treasure and you’re still this happy?”
“Are you jealous, Ah Jiu? What treasure do you want?” A storage ring appeared in Tang Guo’s hand. She floated down from his back and slipped it onto his finger. “There’s a lot inside. It’s all yours.”
