The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

But this is normal; anyone would be afraid if they encountered something abnormal.

Moreover, it's a known and actually existing earthbound spirit.

And so, the two of us walked into the dark basement.

"Miss Wenda, are you there...?"

Actually, I was terrified at that moment and had to lower my voice and shout softly.

Because I don't know if she won't come out, or if she might come back to scare us, my little heart really can't take it.

"Ok?"

At that moment, a flash of white light suddenly appeared from where Wenda's body had been lying, and the familiar spirit of a girl with a self-illuminating effect reappeared in front of us.

At this moment, Wenda rubbed her eyes, which seemed to be half asleep, and then squinted at the two of us.

“Um… Miss Wenda, I’ve found the family crest you needed. Please check if this is it.”

As I spoke, I placed the beautiful family badge that I had obtained from the chest of the female gang leader in my palm and put it in front of her so that she could confirm whether it was the same badge that had been hers.

Chapter 40 You freaking failed to become a Buddha?!

"Hmm? You found it so quickly?"

Upon hearing what I said, Wenda instantly perked up.

Then she quickly floated in front of me, widened her big eyes, and began to observe me carefully.

"Wow, it really is! I never thought I would see my beloved family crest again in this lifetime. Ah, I am so happy."

It seems that Lila's eyesight was indeed very strong back then, as she could remember such a small thing so clearly.

Furthermore, her reaction speed and judgment are both outstanding.

In that case, Lila will definitely be an indispensable talent for me in the future.

"Alright, Miss Wenda, aren't you ready to become a Buddha now...?"

Honestly, this is something I didn't want to say.

But I can't keep quiet about it, because I want a normal home, and I don't want to live in a haunted house with possessed spirits forever...

"It seems there shouldn't be any problem. Then you can place this family crest on my remains."

"OK, all right."

As I spoke, with each step I took, my heart pounded harder and harder until I reached the emaciated skeleton. By then, my clothes were almost soaked with sweat.

In the end, they perfectly placed the beautiful family crest on Wenda's remains, completing the final task.

However, something I couldn't believe actually happened.

The family crest vanished into thin air the instant I placed it down.

Immediately afterwards, it appeared on Wenda's chest.

It seems she has finally received the family crest.

"Wow, that's wonderful, Miss Ivy, Miss Lila, thank you so much."

At this moment, a genuine smile appeared on Wenda's face, and golden light gradually emanated from her body.

It's clear that she might really be on the path to Buddhahood.

"You're welcome, it's what I should do."

Ah, I can finally become a Buddha, and I can finally be free. Now I won't have to live in fear of those eerie, earthbound spirits in my house anymore.

"After I become a Buddha, I hope you can bury my remains in the ground so that I will no longer be imprisoned in this small basement, okay?"

“No problem, I’ll bury you in this back garden and put up a tombstone so you’ll have a home even in heaven or on earth.”

Although I don't know if doing this will be as good as I say, in my world, erecting a monument for the dead is indeed the highest form of respect.

"Wow, Miss Ivy, really?!"

It seems there shouldn't be any problems this time. We can finally meet again, Miss Wenda... You can peacefully attain Buddhahood, and I'll stay at home and properly build my harem.

Actually, there are still a few empty rooms on the second floor. Wouldn't it be wonderful to bring over a few more concubines and let them all live there?

Instantly, an excited smile appeared on my face.

The golden light gradually enveloped her body, and soon she completely disappeared from the basement.

"He should have become a Buddha by now..."

I touched my chest and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that he has attained Buddhahood, he can return and have Louise bury Wenda and erect a tombstone, thus perfectly resolving the matter.

So I turned around and prepared to leave this strange place with Lila.

Because I absolutely do not want to stay in this awful place.

If possible, I would like to find an opportunity to renovate this basement and the secret wine cellar upstairs, so that... at least I can forget all the events that have happened.

"Ah..."

However, at that moment, Lila and I hadn't gone very far when, for some reason, Wenda's voice came again.

I quickly turned my head away, only to find that Wenda was still in that spirit form, floating in mid-air, looking at me with a blank expression.

Go to hell with you...

I almost died helping you find that family crest, and you still haven't disappeared!

Are you trying to drive me crazy?

If it weren't for... my slightly more easygoing nature, I would definitely have fainted on the spot from anger.

"Um... Miss Wenda, didn't you become a Buddha? Why are you still here?!"

I couldn't help but twitch my left eyebrow, suppressing the anger in my heart as I asked directly.

If she doesn't give me a proper reason, I will pour this bottle of holy water on her without saying a word.

This time it's for real, I won't hesitate at all!

"I'm sorry... Miss Ivy, it seems that the heavens are not going to let me become a Buddha, I have failed... However, I am no longer a vengeful spirit, and I am no longer bound by the earth. Look, I am free now, hahahaha."

However, she was completely unaware of her anger at that moment, and instead added fuel to the fire.

At that moment, I picked up the bottle of holy water that Teacher Kafni had given me from my waist pouch, raised it high, and then prepared to open the bottle.

"Um... Miss Ivy, what do you want to do?"

When Wenda saw my anger and was about to open the holy water bottle, she immediately panicked.

"Miss Wenda, do you want me to help you become a Buddha? It's actually very simple. All I need to do is splash this stuff on you, and I believe that even if you don't become a Buddha, you can become a half-Buddha, right?!"

My face held a half-smile, a mixture of anger and rage. If I had known this would happen, why would I have risked my life to personally hunt down those rapist criminals and seize the family crest of Wenda from their leader?

Because if they were captured by the royal soldiers, the family crest would definitely be confiscated by the kingdom. Therefore, it was a dead end. If I didn't go, there would be no chance for Wenda to become a Buddha.

However, this only freed Wenda from her earthbound spirit state, turning her into a normal ghost. Just thinking about it makes me realize it wasn't worth it!

"Waaah, Princess Ivy, I was wrong, I was really wrong this time. Please don't do this, please don't splash this holy water on me. If you do, I will suffer more than death."

"No, you must become a Buddha, because I want an ordinary home."

As I was speaking, I heard a "pop" sound and pulled the stopper out of the bottle of holy water.

The familiar smell of alcohol instantly reached my nose.

"I...I...Princess Ivy, from now on I will listen to you in everything, yes, I will listen to you in everything. I am your pet, your servant. As long as you don't splash this holy water on me, I really don't want to die."

As she spoke, Wenda knelt down on the ground again in mid-air.

"Oh? You mean you'll do whatever I say?"

I couldn't help but squint and ask in disbelief.

"Yes, yes, I can touch real objects now, look."

As she spoke, Wenda stiffly turned halfway around, then manipulated what appeared to be telekinesis to make the bowl containing the candle on the ground float up.

This surprised me a bit.

Suddenly, it dawned on me: what I really need is a cleaning maid.

Since Wenda listens to everything I say and can already manipulate her telekinesis to touch real-world objects, why not let her take on the cleaning job?

This way you can save some money and then do other things, isn't that great?

Since that's the case, let's do it that way.

"Ahem, in that case, I'll leave the house cleaning to you. When you get back, just do what Lilith tells you to do. Don't tell me that now that you're using your telekinesis, you can't even clean the dust in the house. If I find out you're not doing your job properly, I'll give you a free holy water bath so you can hurry up and become a Buddha!"

"Yes! I will definitely listen to what that maid Lilith says."

And so, the Wenda incident came to a satisfactory conclusion, after which I handed her over to Lilith.

Lilith was quite surprised to hear that Wenda was cleaning up the clutter and dust in the house, but seeing that she was indeed capable of doing the housework, she felt much more at ease.

Therefore, this ghost Wenda became free labor in my house and also began to take charge of cleaning.
