Chapter 103: Chapter 105 Save the Child

Humans are far scarier than ghosts; this is the conclusion Qin Liuxi arrived at after encountering many cases of wrongful deaths, just like the case of Xie Qikang.

Is Ling Rong terrifying?

No, Xie Qikang, who is ruthless in his climb to power, is far more terrifying. His horror does not lie in abandoning his humble origins, but in his cruelty.

Qi Qian, unable to see such things, also felt that her words made sense.

"Regardless, having such courage and temperament at such a young age is indeed worthy of admiration."

Qin Liuxi was so flattered that his tail nearly wagged as he said, "I do enjoy seeing you speak so earnestly and truthfully."

Qi Qian: "..."

It would be better if this erratic personality could change a bit.

He glanced back to see Ying Bei pulling Chen Pi along, murmuring as he spoke in a lower volume, "Those sacrificial offerings, do they taste bland because Ling Rong and her son ate them?"

"You tasted them?" Qin Liuxi looked at him both with disdain and admiration.

Disdain because you actually fight with ghosts for food, admiration because you dared to fight with ghosts for food!

"I didn’t!" Qi Qian said emphatically, clearing up the matter: "It was Ying Bei. He bit into a chicken leg and said it was tasteless."

"That’s natural, everything has its essence, food included. Once the essence is absorbed during the offering, naturally it will become tasteless."

"Then will Ying Bei suffer any consequences for eating it?"

"No harm, Ling Rong and her son have been satiated and left. They won’t blame him."

Before Qi Qian could relax, she added, "At most, he will have some dreams and be accused a bit."

Qi Qian: "!"

Save the child!

Out of curiosity, Qi Qian asked, "Can you see those things because you studied the Dao?"

Qin Liuxi pointed to himself with his thumb: "Not really. A rare genius like me who was born with the Heavenly Eye is one in ten thousand. Other Daoists need to use substances to open their Yin Yang Eyes and exorcise evil spirits, for instance..."

She paused, giving him a sidelong glance: "You’re not trying to experience it, are you?"

"Is that possible?" Qi Qian appeared eager to try.

"It’s possible, but what’s there to see? Only when your fortune is low would you encounter such ’good friends’. Are you hoping for bad luck?"

Seeing her looking at him as if he felt like an idiot, Qi Qian sheepishly touched his nose and asked, "Just curious. Are there evil spirits following around me and my grandmother?"

Qin Liuxi paused for a moment before responding, "Your grandmother is born with a Life Chart that clashes and overcomes her relatives. Looking at the bright side, this means she possesses a strong evil repellent aura—commonly known as a tough life. Evil spirits dare not approach her easily. Of course, living people might shun her."

Qi Qian’s face darkened slightly, perhaps recalling something.

His grandmother’s reputation for being tough is well-known in Shengjing, which is why she dislikes returning there. Yet for his sake, she mentioned planning to go back to make arrangements.

"As for you, possessing Royal Energy which protects you, the evil spirits hurt themselves trying to approach you. It’s a thankless task, and ghosts aren’t stupid." This Royal Energy is extraordinary.

Hence, both of their surroundings are currently clean and clear.

Qi Qian was still caught up in Qin Liuxi’s earlier mention of humans, having not fully caught what she said afterwards. When he regained his senses, Qin Liuxi had already walked away.

Ying Bei approached him, saying, "My lord, Little Chen Pi said that the offerings were meant for ghost gods. Now that I’ve taken a bite, what should I do?"

"It’s fine. Doctor Qin said you’ll just have a bit of bad luck and be accused, but it also serves as a warning not to be greedy in the future!" Qi Qian looked at him sympathetically: "It’s good to be a bit cautious. Take care."

Ying Bei: "..."

He planned to shamelessly share a room with Little Chen Pi tonight!
