"A deity?!"
Hearing her muttering to herself, I suddenly understood why my spell to exorcise ghosts had been ineffective just now.
It turned out that this Mrs. Sheng never thought of herself as a ghost. She believed she was an earthly deity who had achieved spiritual enlightenment and was not restricted by my spells to exorcise or bind ghosts!!
Such a powerful mental force...
I really felt a bit ashamed of myself!
Actually, the understanding of ghosts and deities all comes from human worship and fear.
If a person does good deeds and is respected and worshiped by later generations, then he becomes a deity, protecting a certain area, just like Mazu or the God of War...
While some others do evil after death and become ghosts!
These spiritual entities that have lost their physical bodies can be either good or evil in a split second. Some claim to be deities or gods, but they are still evil ghosts... because although they can deceive the world, they cannot deceive their own hearts. Those who do evil are ghosts!!
No matter how beautifully they dress themselves up, they are still evil ghosts that harm people's lives.
This Mrs. Sheng in front of me really refreshed my understanding. She was already sustaining her spiritual existence by sucking people's fresh blood, yet she still dared to claim to be a deity!
Where did she get such audacity?!
"You can keep this 'evil' for yourself!"
Taking advantage of her moment of confusion and hesitation, I suddenly pulled my hand out and took a few steps back.
Only then did I realize that I was completely in that burned - out space that didn't exist in the present time. On the floor covered with ashes and debris, the screen of a phone was still shining faintly.
"... That's impossible... How could I not see through you?"
Mrs. Sheng took two more steps forward, still stubbornly holding the pair of red wedding shoes in her hand. "Don't you always want to spend your whole life with that man? These are your wedding shoes. Why don't you want them?!"
"Get out of here!"
I pointed my two fingers like a sword at Mrs. Sheng's forehead. My left hand had already formed the seal of the Yin Five Thunder Spell, ready to be unleashed.
"Don't make me sound like a love - struck fool! I'm living a good life on my own. I don't need to rely on a man!"
As long as Mrs. Sheng dared to take another step forward, I would summon the thunder. I just didn't know if this place was connected to the outside world and if I could summon the Five Thunder.
I was nervous, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Sheng didn't chase after me.
She still stood under that chandelier. She was reluctant to let go of the fresh blood. A few more drops of blood dripped down. Her gray hair was nourished by the red blood, and strands of black hair actually curled up.
"If you don't like these shoes, I'll change another pair for you?"
The confusion on Mrs. Sheng's face disappeared again. Another extremely delicate pair of golden shoes appeared in her hand out of thin air. They were inlaid with rubies and sapphires and looked extremely valuable.
If I was still a bit confused when I saw the wedding shoes before, now that these golden shoes like decorations appeared, I immediately understood why this Mrs. Sheng, who claimed to be a deity, was so certain of her divine status!
She could fulfill people's inner desires!
I didn't know what the shoes she gave to Shao Lili represented, but the two pairs of shoes she gave me should represent love and wealth respectively...
They should be my most primitive desires!
Damn it!!
I cursed secretly in my heart. This old woman thought of me so vulgarly. I had never craved for love!!
As for money, it was a bit relevant... If this Mrs. Sheng wasn't so persistent in "giving evil" but instead conjured up a large gold brick for me, maybe I would have taken it!
"May the sky be round and the earth square. May the nine chapters of the law be in effect. May the yin give birth and the yang follow. May all ghosts have nowhere to hide..."
I wasn't interested in her shoes. Now we were trapped in this space that didn't exist in the present world. If we didn't get out quickly, there might be trouble. Who knew if this Mrs. Sheng would turn into something terrifying the next second even though she looked kind - faced at this moment?!
The Yin Five Thunder Spell was cast. The clear sky outside the hotel instantly darkened, and turbulent dark clouds rolled up. Countless cyan - white lightning bolts struck down towards the glass doors of the hotel.
"Hehe... Little girl, is that all you've got?"
At first, Mrs. Sheng was startled and dodged the bright lightning bolts in a panic. But later, when she found that the lightning was only raging outside the house, that kind and yet eerie expression appeared on her face again. "This is my divine domain. You're just a tiny mortal. How could you possibly hurt me?"
Saying that, she actually put the pair of red embroidered shoes on the ground again. Suddenly, her neck stretched very long. Like an ostrich, she leaned forward in front of me, facing me and smiling gently. "Come on, put on the wedding shoes. Grandma will send you to get married to your sweetheart. Have a good life and have children for him. A lifetime will pass by quickly..."
Her eyes were very close to mine, and a faint green light reflected in my eyes.
A pair of warm hands grabbed my wrist...
"Xiao He."
In front of my eyes was a sea of red like fire. A deep and mellow voice sounded above my head. Then the redness floated up like a cloud. The sudden bright light made me squint my eyes slightly.
Then, a warm big hand covered the flickering candlelight.
"Dear wife... I can call you like this from now on."
I grabbed the hand that was covering my eyes and pulled it down. Si Jiangchen's handsome face made my heart flutter. Sure enough, in my dream wedding, the man was him and the woman was me!
Seeing me staring blankly at him, looking stupid.
Si Jiangchen couldn't help but curl his lips. "What? After going through so much hardship, now that we've achieved our happy ending, do you want to back out?"
...
I quickly wanted to shake my head, but I was suddenly hugged into his familiar embrace.
"Xiao He, Xiao He..."
He hugged me like a child, gently rocking me and laying me down on the wedding bed covered with red silk quilts behind him. He murmured, "I've finally waited for this day. From now on, we'll always be together, okay?"
"Wait a minute..."
I desperately tried to prop myself up! My mind was in a complete mess...
It seemed that things weren't like this! Why did I suddenly get married?
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Just when my mind was both clear and confused, the harsh ringing of the phone sounded.
I felt like I was hit hard on the head by a sledgehammer and instantly woke up.
On my wrist, there wasn't Si Jiangchen's big hand at all. It was the bony fingers of that Mrs. Sheng, tightly grabbing me. And I had already taken off my sports shoes. The embroidered wedding shoes with mandarin ducks playing in the water were on my feet!!
"Get away from me!!"
I desperately shook off the hand that was holding me and took several steps back. The wedding shoes were sticky inside, as if a lot of blood was seeping out from them.
"... Ah... Are you awake?!"
One of Mrs. Sheng's palms was still hanging on my wrist. She looked at me with a bit of regret, then turned around and walked towards the phone lying on the ground. The phone was still vibrating and ringing. Mrs. Sheng stepped on it with one foot, and the phone immediately shattered into pieces!!
