If it was not that soone else was around at the mont, Xie Qiao would definitely not be beating around the bush.
She was not talking about the death odor on Xie Pinggang’s body.
What she wanted to say was that a rotten ghoul had been following Xie Pinggang and had entered her courtyard. However, it dared not co closer, squatting at the corner of the door. It was disgusting.
However, Xie Pinggang was still shocked.
Xie Pinggang asked imdiately, “How did you know that?”
He was different from his father. His father was a fourth-grade general, while he did not have any capabilities.
He had taken the military officer examination before, and his grade had been pretty good. Initially, he would have been an eighth-grade official at the military base in the Imperial City. However, sothing had happened, making people think he had misbehaved. As such, his career as a military official had co to an abrupt end.
He had been demoted, and he was now working as an executioner at the Criminal Division.
As an executioner, he was responsible for interrogation or beating up the suspects. He would follow his superiors when he was required to investigate outside.
He was a low-ranking official, but he was doing well at the Criminal Division due to his fierce looks.
Whether the case was major or minor, the interrogation would end faster with him.
Today, he had indeed seen a dead body when he was out for investigation…
Xie Pinggang stared right at Xie Qiao as if she had sothing to do with the case.
“Didn’t I already tell you that I can sll that?” Xie Qiao’s voice was soft, and she smiled lightly. “Eldest Brother, the stench is heavy. Can it be that sothing filthy followed you ho? I heard people who died a sudden death are scary. Do you think he would step on you when you sleep in the middle of the night, attempting to strangle you to death?”
“Huh?” Xie Pinggang snorted. “Why would I be afraid of him? He died so recklessly, and his body was smashed into a pile of flesh. Even if he beca sothing that could fly, he would still be a good-for-nothing!”
Xie Qiao was rendered speechless, and her eyelids twitched. She said in a pitiful manner, “It’s my fault to have underestimated your… bad temper.”
She tried to scare Xie Pinggang…
She must be dumb to have tried doing that!
She looked at the door again and noticed that the rotten ghoul was burying its head from the scare.
Xie Qiao was surprised and envious. How amazing would it be if she had such powerful Yang energy like her eldest brother did one day!?
He had scared the ghoul out of its wits just by speaking. That was… amazing…
Xie Qiao’s eyes flickered for a little bit before she turned her head.
The digging of the well stopped two hours later.
She calculated the ti and asked Xie Pinggang to co again tomorrow at the sa ti.
However, after Xie Pinggang left, the ghoul that he had brought along stayed behind.
That was not for the first ghoul that Xie Qiao had seen. She was not afraid, but the ghoul was rather rotten and ugly. She felt like her stomach was twisting when she looked at it.
Theoretically, a spirit’s appearance was modeled after the mont they died. However, this one…
The ghoul arrived at the door of Xie Qiao’s house. “You can see …”
There was sothing powerful in the house, so this ghoul dared not go in.
Xie Qiao frowned. “Stay away from my house, you disgusting thing.”
The ghoul’s cloudy eyes were wide opened now. “I have an unfulfilled wish. I won’t eat you if you fulfill it for !”
“Huh?” Xie Qiao smiled lightly and retrieved a golden dragon’s head whip with a wooden handle from her sleeve. It looked more like a rope. She suddenly swung the whip, and a bang resounded.
The ghoul’s body imdiately emitted sizzling smoke. It was shaking from the pain.
“Those who co for the first ti usually don’t behave themselves. They’ll only learn after so pain,” Xie Qiao complained softly. It was tiring for her to teach the ghoul a lesson. Could those ghouls not have better manners!?
The ghoul was quick to react. After being whipped, it squatted while wrapping its arms around its head imdiately and scread, “S-spare , Grand Immortal! I have silver! I’ll give all of them to you!”
Xie Qiao nodded and asked slowly, “What’s your wish? Tell , as long as it’s not sothing illegal and unethical.”
