Chapter 329: Chapter 329 "Half Immortal’s" Warning_1
Stead white buns, millet porridge, a bowl of stir-fried cabbage with tofu, and a plate of cold mixed cabbage with black beans.
Qin Sisi pursed her lips, it wasn’t sumptuous, but it was edible.
Qin Sisi sat down to eat.
Seeing Qin Sisi seeming half asleep, the old lady asked with concern, "Young lady, didn’t you sleep well last night?"
Qin Sisi paused for a mont, this old lady seed to like to spread news, so why not let her help?
Then Qin Sisi nodded and said, "Yeah, I was sleeping fine initially, but woke up in the middle of the night, went out for a while, and then couldn’t fall asleep again."
The old lady gasped and complained, "You young lady, why don’t you listen to advice! Didn’t we provide you with a chamber pot?"
Qin Sisi said embarrassedly, "I’m not used to using that."
The innkeeper, who is also the old lady’s husband and had been quiet all this while, suddenly spoke, "Young lady, did you see anything strange?"
Qin Sisi purposely hesitated before answering softly, "I did."
The innkeeper and his wife exchanged a glance, both fearful and excited.
The old lady leaned in and asked eagerly, "What did you see?"
Qin Sisi pursed her lips and answered in a low voice, "I saw a white figure float from one house to another."
The old woman’s gossip was completely stirred up and she asked urgently, "Did you see the white shadow clearly?"
Qin Sisi thought for a while and said, "It looked like an old man with white hair and a long beard."
The innkeeper and his wife were stunned with their mouths wide open, unable to close them for a long ti.
Qin Sisi asked as if surprised, "Uncle and aunty, what’s wrong with you?"
The old lady said anxiously, "That’s him, that’s him, soone had ntioned a few days ago about seeing a white shadow, but didn’t see clearly. Everyone was only guessing, but now that you saw it clearly, it must be him."
Knowing what she was talking about, Qin Sisi asked, "Aunty, who are you referring to?"
The old lady lowered her voice and said, "I ntioned to you last night, about the old man who died of starvation! People say that he’s back to collect his debt from his son and daughter-in-law."
The innkeeper pulled on his wife’s arm and turned to Qin Sisi, kindly asking, "Young lady, from which house did you see him co out, and which house did he enter?"
Qin Sisi described to them the locations of the two houses.
The old lady smacked her thigh and said to the innkeeper, "See? Didn’t I say? It’s the first and second old man’s houses, it must be the old man who has co back."
The innkeeper said to the old lady, "Alright, alright. Whatever it is, it has no relation to us."
Then, the innkeeper said to Qin Sisi, "Young lady, don’t be afraid, it has nothing to do with you. Anyway, you’re leaving today."
Qin Sisi didn’t rush to reveal her identity, but instead replied slowly, "Uncle and aunty, don’t worry, I’m not scared.
My grandfather was a mage. I have seen him perform many tis to drive away ghosts. When he passed away, he said my parents weren’t talented enough, so he transferred all his mana to ."
The transfer of mana is a common saying among the people. If a person with mana is about to die, he can transfer his mana to his descendants, so that the mana can continue.
Qin Sisi didn’t want to invent too many lies to explain the source of her mana, so she attributed it to her grandfather who she had never t, which seed more believable.
The innkeeper couple were taken aback, they didn’t expect Qin Sisi to be a "demi-immortal".
"Demi-immortals" are usually older, a young girl as a "demi-immortal" was rare.
Qin Sisi pretended not to see their surprise and continued to eat her breakfast while saying, "I will be leaving soon, so it will have no effect on . However..."
Qin Sisi purposely paused and cast a significant glance at the innkeeper couple.
Being stared at by a "demi-immortal
