"Who said there's something wrong with her?"

Li Shishi rolled her eyes at Zhao Yuan.

"Dalang really doesn't understand the mind of a young woman. When she suddenly arrives in an unfamiliar place, she naturally has to be on guard. It wouldn't hurt to use some tricks."

"Actually, if Chunmei acted carefree and heartless, I would look down on her."

Zhao Yuan was confused and could only ask,

"So, Shishi, do you want her to stay or send her away?"

"Of course I'll stay,"

Li Shishi sighed.

"If Chunmei leaves us, given her strong-willed personality, who knows what will happen to her."

"But wasn't she just playing tricks on you?"

"I've seen those little schemes plenty of times back in the Jade Fragrance Pavilion,"

Li Shishi seemed completely unsurprised.

"Does my brother think that I've had a smooth and successful career at Yuxiang Tower and that I'm completely naive?"

That's true!

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but nod.

Li Shishi's identity, if placed in later generations...

She is a nationally renowned top-tier female star.

To reach that position,

How many of them are truly naive and innocent?

"I never imagined that in Dalang's heart, I was truly a wicked woman with a heart full of cunning..."

Li Shishi suddenly sighed softly.

When did I say that?

Zhao Yuan felt completely bewildered.

"The way Dalang nodded so readily just now clearly shows that's what he really thought,"

Li Shishi covered her face with her hands, looking as if she was about to cry.

"Shishi, you've mistaken me for someone else,"

Zhao Yuan quickly said, "I didn't nod just now, I shook my head!"

"Shaking your head? So, does that mean you think I'm stupid and foolish, only good for being schemed against?"

Li Shishi then asked another question.

"Uh......"

Zhao Yuan obediently shut his mouth.

Women are such creatures...

Indeed, no matter the era, sometimes things can be just as incomprehensible!

Seeing Zhao Yuan's frustrated expression and his silence,

Li Shishi chuckled softly.

He stepped forward and affectionately straightened Zhao Yuan's collar.

"Don't be angry, my lord. I did this just to tell you that a young woman's mind is very complicated. It's okay that Chunmei is a little clever. I can handle her. Don't worry about it, my lord."

Chapter 47 The Sorcerer's Ritual (Seeking flowers and ratings)

Zhao Yuan and Li Shishi were being intimate in the room.

At this time,

Chunmei suddenly ran into the yard in a panic.

Even the copper basin he was holding to fetch water was gone.

"what happened?"

Zhao Yuan and Li Shishi thought something had happened to her.

He hurriedly went out to inquire.

"My lord, my sister, a sorceress has come by outside. She says... she says..."

Chunmei glanced at Li Shishi, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"say what?"

Zhao Yuan frowned and asked impatiently.

Startled, Chunmei quickly began to explain.

"That sorceress said that someone in the inn was possessed by an evil spirit, and that the possessed person must already be suffering from a serious illness!"

"But now, we are the only ones staying in this inn, and among us, the only one who is ill is my sister."

Chunmei said this,

He glanced at Zhao Yuan nervously.

Suddenly, he knelt down on the ground, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"My lord, that sorceress said that if a person possessed by an evil spirit is not exorcised through a ritual, they may not live more than three days!"

"My lord, I don't want anything to happen to my sister. Please, my lord, you must see that sorceress!"

After Chunmei finished speaking in one breath, she looked at Zhao Yuan anxiously.

It seems they are genuinely worried about Li Shishi.

Li Shishi, standing to the side, also seemed somewhat flustered.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan, however, asked in surprise,

What is a sorceress?

"this......"

Chunmei glanced at Li Shishi, and seeing her nod,

He then explained, "My lord, a sorceress is a witch doctor. Whenever a family encounters a difficult problem, they would ask a sorceress to communicate with the spirits and divine the answer."

"I thought it was something important! Turns out it's a scam!"

Zhao Yuan said irritably,

"Ignore that person and let her say what she wants."

"But......"

Chunmei wanted to say something more,

Just then, someone suddenly shouted loudly at the entrance of the courtyard.

"I knew I was right! That evil spirit is right here in this courtyard!"

As one speaks,

An old man, dressed in brocade robes,

The old woman, adorned with jewels, rushed into the courtyard with wide eyes.

She was seen wandering around the courtyard.

After jumping around for a while, it suddenly stopped in front of Li Shishi.

"Madam, you have been possessed by an evil spirit! You must be feeling weak and sickly lately. Am I right?"

“Old man, I have indeed been ill these past two days,” Li Shishi replied.

"My lady, I must perform a ritual for you to expel the evil spirits from your body!"

The old woman shook her head and mumbled something incoherently.

"If we don't get rid of this evil spirit, with its power, my wife probably won't live more than three days!"

"This...Dalang?"

Li Shishi hurriedly looked at her lover beside her.

After the old woman entered the courtyard, Zhao Yuan...

So he stood there watching the monkey show.

Now, seeing Li Shishi looking over...

He then asked, "Venerable sorceress, since you say my wife is possessed by an evil spirit, what does this evil spirit look like? Perhaps you could let us see it and broaden our horizons?"

"this......"

The old woman looked troubled and hesitated for a moment.

He then said, "Very well, although my ritual will cost me my life, how could I bear to see such a beautiful woman perish at the hands of an evil spirit!"

After saying that, she took out a yellow talisman from her bosom.

He mumbled indistinct incantations under his breath.

While hopping around Li Shishi,

He then rubbed the yellow talisman all over Li Shishi's body.

After being busy for half a day,

The old woman suddenly stopped and said to Zhao Yuan,

"My lord, I have temporarily absorbed the evil spirit into the talisman. I will now use the spiritual water to make it manifest!"

After saying this, the old woman took the small gourd from her waist.

After unscrewing the cork and taking a sip,

He then suddenly sprayed all the water onto the talisman!

immediately,

On the originally empty talisman paper,

Suddenly, a creature with a gaping, blood-red maw appeared.

It seems to be choosing its prey carefully!
