The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny-Chapter 102 - Is It Done?
Chapter 102: Is It Done?
The others’ expressions changed after that man was done speaking. They turned their eyes to Qin Zhi, who was on the bed. They found it hard to swallow their saliva as if they had eaten dead flies.
Something that was like jade or stone?
If Qin Zhi was doing well, they might think that this guy had found something precious at Floating Pavilion Town. After all, that place produced jade!
However, now Qin Zhi was ill because of that thing!
It was impossible that it was a piece of jade!?
Could it be… a bone!?
“One of you will find it for me in his clothing. Show it to me,” said Xie Qiao.
The few gentlemen thought it was creepy, but they were embarrassed to show that before a young lady. They bit the bullet and rummaged through Qin Zhi’s clothing. Eventually, they really found something on his chest.
The thing was tied around with a red thread. It was much bigger than a wolf’s fang.
Xie Qiao grabbed and looked at it.
“This is a rotten human bone. Look, it’s hollowed inside. The marrow is long gone. It’s just that time has taken a toll. That’s why it’s so smooth.” Xie Qiao was rather speechless.
It indeed looked similar to jade. The item remained intact in the water not because of how sturdy it was but there was dark energy wrapped around it.
Qin Zhi was foolish to be daring to wear something that he had picked from the water. Fortunately, it was a water ghoul. It could not adapt on land. If it was a charm ghoul, he would have died long ago.
However, it was much easier now that the item was found.
At that moment, the ghoul changed immediately when it noticed the item was in Xie Qiao’s hand.
It charged at her without thinking of anything else like a maniac.
Xie Qiao covered her chest, looking scared. In reality, she was proceeding to retrieve a talisman slowly. The coin-sword in her hand was swung once again.
The coin-sword in her hand struck the ghoul. This process was repeated a few times.
Da Xiong was flapping its wings aside. It was majestic and extremely fierce.
After a few times, the ghoul got weaker, just as Xie Qiao expected. She put away the sword and performed hand seals with both hands.
There were many types of incantations and hand seals. The one that she used was the most regular and the simplest hand seal.
The people saw Xie Qiao’s movements. Her hands suddenly formed a strange shape while she was mumbling.
“Retrieve!” she suddenly yelled.
The half a section of bone seemed to have moved, and then it dimmed a little.
Xie Qiao wiped the non-existent sweat.
“I’m exhausted. Is there food?” Xie Qiao turned her head.
Zhou Weizong’s eyelids twitched, “I-it’s done?”
Xie Qiao frowned slightly. “No, I’m bringing it home. I need to carry out a ceremony to release the soul. Although this filthy thing is wrong, your brother was insensible to be taking its bone. It was staying at the bottom of the river, and he forced it to get on the shore. It couldn’t go home since it was far away from home. It couldn’t adapt to living somewhere else…”
“T-that’s right. I’ll teach Qin Zhi a lesson when he wakes up!” Zhou Weizong was upset.
In order to treat his brother’s illness, he had spent almost everything he had.
Forget it that he had bought 100 taels of silver worth of talisman back at the Water Moon Temple. He had been conned by other Taoist masters tens of taels along the way before they came here.
They had visited many doctors and bought many medicines.
His tens of taels of silvers had been long gone.
Moreover, he would have to spend a hundred taels of gold here with Xie Qiao… That was gold, not silver!
Although he was born into a big family, he was only given tens of taels of silver each month. He could not afford that!
He must teach Qin Zhi a lesson!
“So he’s been cured?” Zhou Weizong did not forget to ask that while getting someone to prepare food.
“No.” Xie Qiao shook her head.
Zhou Weizong’s eyelids twitched. He felt his heart sink as he opened his eyes wide. “I-it isn’t done yet?”
