Crossing a shallow stream and passing through a forest, a high wall blocked my view. I looked left and right – the wall stretched for hundreds of meters, clearly belonging to a wealthy ghost family. I furrowed my brow. If these were powerful ghost creatures, rashly taking someone away would inevitably cause conflict.
“Miss, are you trying to get in?”
After this, I’ll definitely make Huahua help me. Despite my stern expression, someone still dared to approach me. My mood suddenly brightened, and I replied, “Yes. Do you have a way?”
“Fly over.”
I gave him a sidelong glance. “How?”
He pulled out a talisman from his waist, muttered an incantation I couldn’t understand, and with a flip of his hand, a duck appeared on the ground.
“Oh, I recited it wrong.”
I twitched the corner of my mouth, narrowing my eyes. By my estimation, he was a third-rate exorcist.
“Oh, wrong again.”
“Not this one.”
“This must be right.”
“Damn.”
I yawned, rolled up my sleeve, and walked to a tree to climb up.
“Miss!” A delighted voice rang out, and the man looked excited. “I summoned it!”
I glanced down. Even if it was a flying crane, being the size of a hen was utterly useless. I withdrew my disdainful gaze and continued climbing the tree.
This tree seemed to be thousands of years old, with branches intertwining and extending to the high wall. I easily climbed along the trunk to the wall. Before I could steady myself, my body was suddenly jolted, and I fell with the man’s shrill scream.
Scream my foot! I should be the one screaming!
Seeing the emerald green grass before my eyes, I silently thought that in the future, I must do more good deeds to accumulate luck.
Fortunately, the fat man fell first, and I landed on top of him. Seeing him unconscious, I patted his face. “Hey, hey.”
The fat man slowly opened his eyes, then suddenly widened them at what was in front of him.
I paused and looked back, seeing dozens of floating servants holding wooden sticks, pointing at us.
This divine lord had been captured, and the fat man was captured too.
We were tied up and thrown into the main hall, listening to the servants discuss whether to lock us in the woodshed or summon the master.
