"Squeak!"
The One - Eyed Buddha Mother was forcefully pulled out of the illusory realm and happened to run into Si Jiangchen's ghost - exorcising spell.
The spell, which seemed to emit a faint golden light, touched the dark - blue body of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother. Immediately, it was like a large net made of golden silk, tightly binding her enormous body.
It was only then that I understood why Si Jiangchen didn't use a more powerful Taoist spell like the Five - Thunder Spell.
The Yin Five - Thunder is not the thunder - related divine generals from the Heavenly Thunder Department of the Celestial Court using the power of talismans to capture ghosts. Instead, it uses the cultivator's cultivation to transform their spiritual power into thunder qi and introduce it into the ghost's body to kill it.
The One - Eyed Buddha Mother had countless avatars. It was not easy for her true primordial spirit to appear in front of us. If she were struck by the Yin Five - Thunder, it would only destroy her power of faith!
In today's world, it is extremely easy to create a god. A small mobile phone app can spread the so - called miracles of an evil creature everywhere, attracting countless people with ulterior motives to offer sacrifices.
In my opinion, the One - Eyed Buddha Mother had also benefited from the Internet. The power of faith she received in previous lifetimes was not gathered as quickly as it was now.
The last time in the hospital, the reason she could let me devour her avatar without any scruples was simply because it was easy for her to gain believers!
With Taoran Media, this huge incubator, using those popular celebrities to attract fans who had no discernment but were full of desires, and then the One - Eyed Buddha Mother showed some so - called miracles, making those fans believe in and worship her whole - heartedly.
She didn't care how many avatars were destroyed. As long as Taoran existed and her true body remained intact, she would live forever!
However, now she had been caught by Si Jiangchen!
Bound in the most ordinary ghost - exorcising spell...
"Du Xinghe, let me go. I'll fulfill your desires!"
In the net of the spell that was overflowing with golden light, the One - Eyed Buddha Mother finally put away her angry dharma form and returned to the beautiful face she had before becoming a fierce ghost. With a miserable smile on her face, she tried to tempt me with her words.
"I have no desires." I told the truth.
I was very satisfied with the current situation. I could quietly stay in my own small shop, earning just enough money to support Du Wenzhong and me. There was also a man who had been infatuated with me for a century, and I could even "become a mother" for free, picking up a son as big as Si Tong!
I didn't have to endure the pain of giving birth like Lu Xiyu. It was such a fortunate thing!
"How is that possible?! Have you forgotten the thing you most desire deep in your heart?"
The One - Eyed Buddha Mother's almond - shaped eyes, with their distinct black and white pupils, had slightly trembling eyelashes as she looked at me full of expectation.
"The thing I most desire..."
I couldn't help being attracted by her beautiful face. Staring into her eyes, I murmured her words.
Suddenly, a warm big hand covered my eyes. I could feel Si Jiangchen's body heat beside my ear. He gently bit my earlobe and said, "The thing Xiaohe most desires is to marry me, isn't it?"
"Um!"
My vision went dark. The tingling sensation on my ear made my heart flutter like a dozen deer were running wild inside. How could I have the time to think about the One - Eyed Buddha Mother's temptation?
While pulling Si Jiangchen's hand away, I took out a soul bottle that looked like a "Suxiao Jiuxin Pill" from my pocket. With a "pop", I flicked open the bottle stopper made of yellow talisman paper and shouted in a low voice, "Capture!"
The One - Eyed Buddha Mother, bound by Si Jiangchen's spell, had no ability to dodge.
I easily put her into the soul bottle.
I used the last green talisman drawn by Si Jiangchen as a seal and pasted it on the soul bottle that was still "squeaking" and screaming. For some reason, I trusted Si Jiangchen more and more.
Whether it was his powerful Taoist magic or his mysterious "money power", it gave me a feeling that "as long as he was around, I would be safe".
... I felt that I really had only one way to go, which was to marry him! I had been drifting from place to place since I was a child, depending on A Wen. No one had ever given me such a strong sense of security like him!
I was actually a very traditional woman.
Even after he had taken my virginity and I wanted to escape, I only thought about escaping from his clutches and spending the rest of my life alone in a place where no one knew me!
I stuffed the still - trembling soul bottle back into my pocket. All the illusions in front of me had disappeared.
Si Jiangchen was standing at the door of the delivery room with his arms around my waist. In the corridor outside, the beggar - like man, Gu Linze, was lying there. He was beaten black and blue and leaning against the wall. Ji Chen was standing beside him, staring at him warily.
"... Did you beat him?"
I remembered that Lu Xiyu's husband, Gu Fancheng, had made a blood contract with his family and couldn't harm his so - called elder brother.
"Is your man that violent?"
Si Jiangchen's naughty hands had already wrapped around my waist like snakes. When I looked up, I just saw his strong jawline. I couldn't help comparing him with Lu Xiyu's husband secretly...
Both of them were very good - looking! Definitely a thousand times more handsome than those so - called star idols on the market. But Si Jiangchen always had a lazy smile on his face, which made him look much better than the ice - cold Gu Fancheng!
"Why aren't you violent?!"
Suddenly, I remembered what Si Jiangchen looked like in the Book of Reincarnation. He was a killing demon! In the blink of an eye, he had left no living thing in Duyang Town!
"Miss Du, don't wrong our boss."
Ji Chen glanced at us sideways and said with a smile, "I was the one who beat this guy. He dared to fight with Chairman Gu of Hong Kong Hongjun Group. He was really courting death! Fortunately, Chairman Gu didn't bring his bodyguards. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as beating him black and blue!"
"Ugh..."
Gu Linze, who was lying like a pile of mud against the wall, suddenly propped up his head and glared at the delivery room angrily after hearing Ji Chen's words. "What a bullshit Chairman Gu! He's just a bastard born to a slut. One day, I'll take back everything he has usurped!"
"Security guards! Hurry up and arrest this beggar and take him to the police station!"
The sneer on Ji Chen's face was like looking at a crazy man talking nonsense. The hospital security guards had already rushed over, but they had been blocked in the elevator hall by Ji Chen until I broke the One - Eyed Buddha Mother's illusion.
I had no intention of paying attention to Gu Linze being dragged away by the security guards. I broke free from Si Jiangchen's big hand and trotted all the way towards the labor room.
The straw doll that Lu Xiyu had stuffed into my hand earlier had already been silently taken away by Gu Fancheng. The crying sound of the substitute doll had disappeared, and the labor room was completely quiet...
"Wow!"
A very loud baby's cry came into my ears. It seemed that there was a faint red light covering the labor room. In the red light, I could vaguely see four strange - looking gods in official uniforms walking through the wall one by one, holding congratulatory gifts in their hands... The thin figure in a red robe who was walking last suddenly turned to me and made a funny face. I recognized that guy at a glance. It was Chen Daoyi! A Taoist priest who had taken over from Lord Lu to manage the Inspection Department and was tortured by the files in the room and wanted to quit!
