The Crown Princess Has a Deadly Destiny
Chapter 8

Now that the ghost was angry, communicating with him would be difficult.

Because it's terrible.

It was like a pure and innocent person suddenly had their clothes removed and their boneless pitiful form seen in front of many people.

How not to get angry?

The palace guards walked over and opened the package.

Sure enough, the ghost's expression turned dark.

Black smoke stains began to spread. It was all Yin energy, others could not see it, but Xie Qiao could. She doesn't like it. It ruins the view.

This ghoul is not even a strong one. Although the Yin energy had spread out, it was no big deal. It's just a few days of bad luck, once you get used to it, it's fine.

The captain of the imperial guard shuddered.

“Master, this is a human bone,” the captain of the palace guard immediately replied.

Zhao Xuanjing found this girl very suspicious.

“Nona, it's late at night, and you're digging bones here? Can you... rob a grave?” Zhao Xuanjing's brows furrowed. Her voice is a little cold.

But anyone with common sense would be suspicious if this woman had a certain talisman at this point. Things like robbing tombs really didn't match the appearance of this woman.

“Master, are you blind? It's a tombstone without a tombstone. And even if I wanted to raid the tomb, I would not search for the dead farmer in such a horrible way. Although there may have been some silver, he died violently. I still need to present the silver pieces as an offering for a few days to clear them of misfortune before I can use them. Otherwise, they will bring misfortune to others.” His voice was gentle like a whisper and a seductive light, but the words that came out of his mouth were a bit harsh.

The corner of Zhao Xuanjing's lips curved up. Is he blind?

“Because it was a tombstone without a tombstone, then how did you know he was a farmer? Since you're not here to steal, then why do you keep this piece of silver? Miss, why do you seem to contradict yourself?” Zhao Xuanjing glanced at him with a judgmental look, but his tone sounded frivolous.

Zhao Xuanjing was completely flabbergasted.

Just as he was about to continue his question, his gaze was fixed on the bamboo basket. There seemed to be some yellow-colored talismans inside. In addition, there was a compass and the like there.

He suddenly nodded.

“You are a shaman?” A shaman as beautiful as this? It's very rare, isn't it?

Xie Qiao frowned. He doesn't like being called like this.

“Call me half-eternal.” Xie Qiao nodded. Suddenly, he bowed with a snort as he pulled the cloth of the divination banner. On it it is written, “Xie is sharp-tongued and straightforward half-eternal.”

The audience felt their eyes twitch.

Zhao Xuanjing's eyelids twitched. Although he himself was somewhat calm, his gaze on Xie Qiao was full of doubt.

A Taoist who knows prophecy? Zhao Xuanjing asked as he forced a smile.

When Xie Qiao heard this explanation, he felt uneasy, but he still nodded reluctantly. Then he pointed to the bones on the ground as he said, “He died here. This location is not good, so I want to move his bones and build a grave for him. Now that you see his bones, he won't be happy. So I have to ask you to follow me back. All of you who have seen this should bury him back.”

Zhao Xuanjing was in disbelief at first. He had never seen a girl practice divination before. However, this girl spoke as if she knew her things, and she looked rather refined. Plus, he was dressed according to the Taoist robe. It clearly did not look like he was a thief robbing the tomb. In fact, the way he carried himself was too flamboyant for that.

“You said you know the prophecy.. How can I trust you? How about this? I have quite a number of subordinates, so you will read their fates. If you do it right, then we'll do what you say. If you are wrong, then we will send you to court.” Zhao Xuanjing suddenly smiled as he said this.

Xie Qiao sighed. He'll understand. Just because he looked like a con man, people were happy to say this when they consulted him for the first time.

“Agreement. But I won't do much. Today... I will only read luck for only three people and I will not discuss it too deeply.” said Xie Qiao.
