For example, the time she set up Yun Rou so that she would suffer the consequences of her own actions almost drained her evil energy. She was so scared that she pulled a random middle-aged woman along the way and wanted to help her catch ghosts. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

As for those little ghosts, if they weren’t allowed to do bad things, then she could only use her evil energy to feed them. There was no other way.

It was obvious that the more evil energy she had the better. She didn’t know when she would need to use it. If she used up her evil energy, then she would be dead and that would be pure injustice.

Just as Yun Qin was reflecting on how unprofessional her method to solicit clients was and how it did not tempt the woman that she met yesterday, she walked out of the neighborhood and saw that same middle-aged woman who might have ghosts in her house.

The middle-aged woman was chatting with the old ladies around her. When she saw Yun Qin, her eyes lit up. “Hey! I told you, she would be here!”

Yun Qin saw that the black smoke on the middle-aged woman’s face became even thicker. She immediately frowned and used the knowledge that Zhang Yuan gave her. “Your forehead has a dark hue and your heart is restless. I’m afraid that you’ve been plagued by evil these past few days!”

When the middle-aged woman heard that she immediately opened her mouth and said helplessly, “What should I do? If I had known earlier, I would have listened to you that day. Sigh, I have nowhere else to go, I just wanted to try my luck...”

Seeing that the woman was about to continue her long-winded narration, Yun Qin interrupted and said, “If you don’t listen to my advice, I’m afraid that you would be facing a bloody disaster soon. But if you want to avoid the disaster, I have a plan.”

Surrounded by gossipy aunties and uncles, this woman, who was covered in black smoke, held Yun Qin and immediately said, “Quickly, come to my house and take a look.”

Following the old woman’s directions, Yun Qin came to an old apartment block.

These houses were narrow tube-shaped buildings. The wires were hung on the exterior walls and there was a thick layer of cobwebs.

“Sigh, it’s really strange. Numerous doctors came but no one could cure it.”

The old woman nagged all the way, allowing Yun Qin to roughly understood the situation at the old woman’s house.

The old woman’s surname was Liu and she had a husband who liked to fish. Sometimes he would fish by the river for an entire day before reluctantly returning home.

This old man caught all kinds of big and small fish. After bringing them back, Mrs.Liu cooked them and ate them. However, some time ago, the old man actually brought back a gold watch.

Usually, while fishing, he also caught strange things, such as a woman’s wig, a student’s homework book, a cellphone, etc. However, this was the first time that he caught a valuable item like a gold watch.

Originally, they thought that they could sell the gold watch and make a fortune. However, not only did the old couple not make a fortune, they even spent half of their life savings.

Ever since the old man came back from fishing with that gold watch, he started coughing at night. Not only was he unable to breathe, but he also lost consciousness several times. When he went to the hospital, the doctors could not find anything wrong with him.

The doctor saw that Mrs. Liu was suspicious and almost caused a ruckus in the hospital, so he did all kinds of tests and prescribed a large number of supplements. After spending all their money, the old couple reluctantly went home.

But now, the old man was completely bedridden and no medicine was effective. A few aunties told Mrs. Liu that he might have encountered a “ghost.” Mrs. Liu remembered what Yun Qin said that day, so she anxiously went to the building where Yun Qin lived and waited for her for an entire morning.

“Good thing that all that waiting paid off and I was able to see you again. I figured at this point, I’m just clutching at straws and hoping for the best”

Mrs. Liu continued to babble incessantly. Yun Qin was getting annoyed. She quickly walked to the floor where Mrs. Liu and her husband lived. Before she could use her evil energy to check, she realized that something was wrong.

Why was there such a strong fishy smell?

Facing Yun Qin’s question, Mrs. Liu explained, “My husband loves fishing. It’s normal for the house to smell like fish.”

Yun Qin rubbed her nose and silently entered the room.

This smell was similar to some kind of water ghost. Looks like Mr. Liu was being haunted by water ghosts?

After entering the room, the black smoke became stronger. Yun Qin only took a glance at Mr. Liu’s bedroom and immediately knew the answer.

It seemed that everything was caused by the gold watch that he fished up.

She used her evil energy to probe and sure enough, the strongest spot was in the safe in the corner of the bedroom.

“Mrs. Liu, can I take a look at that gold watch?” Yun Qin asked. As long as she sucked the evil energy out of the gold watch, Mr. Liu would be fine.

However, Mrs. Liu immediately became vigilant. “My husband found that watch, finders keepers.. Don’t even think about it taking it.”
