The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 5

Xie Qiao replied in a faint voice. Then he crouched down, took out a small shovel from the bamboo box, and dug a hole in place.

“Did you say that I deserve to die?” The ghoul raged in his anger, and the leaves under Xie Qiao's feet began to rustle.

Xie Qiao was not afraid at all and said, “The look you have now is your state of near-death. Your eyes are red, and your beard is a little yellow. At first glance, I can see that you are an angry and impatient person. This kind of temperament will definitely lead you to misfortune. You breathe through your mouth too, and there are black spots behind your ears, that's a sign of misfortune where you'll die in a foreign place. The appearance of a person is shaped through his mind. Do you understand?”

The ghost's eyes seemed to be getting redder now. It moved menacingly like wanting to eat him alive. As the ghost approached Xie Qiao, it could smell the faint scent of incense on his body. Suddenly, the ghost stopped and calmed down.

“You were right, I acted impulsively and got my master into trouble. If it wasn't for me, my master's actions wouldn't have been revealed, and I wouldn't have been hunted. Now I am dead here, and the state of life or death of my master remains unknown.” Suddenly, he covered his face and started crying.

“Silent, don't be too noisy.” Xie Qiao was a little impatient.

Hic! The ghoul immediately stopped crying.

“My house is far from here. I'm just asking that you find me auspicious land and get me buried there, Master. No more..”

“Even if it's your request, I don't necessarily do it,” Xie Qiao laughed.

“...” That Ghoul is beset with sadness.

“Feng shui here can be very good. There was a dense forest, the southern mountain was a jade mountain, and the water from the northern mountain range gathered here forming a blue lake. This place can be said to be a gathering place for profitable water. However, the jade mountain had been heavily excavated now, leaving countless holes everywhere. There were too few grasses and trees on the mountain, and the moisture in the forest could not be eliminated. Eventually, this place would become a place filled with Yin energy. You're dead, but you're still very grumpy.” Xie Qiao sighed.

‘There is no problem at all if he only stays there for a few years. But he will never get a chance to be reborn if he stays here for a long time.’

Xie Qiao felt resigned.

The sun was setting now, and he did not feel like crouching down and digging a hole in the ground to find the bones.

‘But it will not work, I have to collect good karma for myself.’

He did not know if he was reborn without drinking the Soup of Forgetfulness, which might be the reason why he could see the soul after he was born.

In the past, every time he was approached by the Yin energy of a soul, he would fall ill. So he had to stay in the Taoist temple most of the time.

His teacher's name was Mo Lingzi, the fifty-eighth successor of the Water Moon Shrine. He was not talented, and that was why he was not famous. However, the Moon Water Temple had been built over the years in a deep-rooted lineage. All of it had been protecting him for over ten years.

Sometimes, he helped some souls to move on with life. As they get older, the ghosts stop affecting them.

Moreover, if he wanted to cure his problem in seeing the soul, he would have to solve it from his roots. He will reap the benefits of whether he catches or helps them move on.

‘I've been lucky to live.’

‘So, of course, I have to live well.’

“Your bones have been buried deep enough.” Xie Qiao panted and sat on the ground, looking a little tired.

The ghoul smirked and said, “I saw them bury me. It was raining, and they were afraid the water would sweep me away. So they dug the hole up to eight or nine feet deep. By the way, there's some money in my clothes. Treat it as a small gift from me with respect.”

“Huh.” Xie Qiao let out a faint stinging sound.

As the sky grew darker, Xie Qiao continued to work faster.

His bones could not shrink into a sphere, so the area he had to dig on the ground was quite large.

The Ghoul could do nothing and only looked at it excitedly.

In the middle of it, Xie Qiao took several breaks. His delicate appearance made him want to pick up a shovel and start digging by himself. But he's a ghost, and he can't touch anything solid.

Plus, the moment he smelled the scent on his body, he did not dare to move. In the bamboo box beside him was a pile of talismans. The giant was not sure what they were used for.

There is also a big rooster.

He had also slaughtered a chicken before he died, but now he was perplexed by the rooster's gaze.

There's a flow of Yang energy in this big rooster. He was extremely afraid that the sudden crowing of this creature could cause his soul to disappear into thin air.
