Three times married to Yama

Master Lu followed my gaze and looked over. Upon seeing what was there, Master Lu's eyes widened instantly, filled with shock.

The dried corpse was originally covered with talismans, but at this moment the talismans spontaneously combusted and turned to ashes in an instant.

The dried corpse stood up again and lunged towards Old Master Pei, startling him and his bodyguards into shouting again.

"Master Lu! Are you even capable?! Why is she here again?!" Old Master Pei shouted in alarm.

Master Lu hated it when people said he was no good. When Old Master Pei questioned him like that, he glared at Old Master Pei and then gritted his teeth and took out another talisman.

This talisman is different from the one he threw away before; the one in his hand now is black.

My brows furrowed instantly. How could someone of Master Lu's skill level possess such a talisman?

The black exorcising talisman can annihilate evil spirits, making it a top-tier exorcising tool in the entire Xuanmen (Taoist) world. It not only costs a lot of money but also requires connections to obtain.

No one knows where Master Lu got it from. He took out the Ghost Extermination Talisman because he wanted to destroy the soul of the Yin Wealth Ghost Pan Yi right here!

"Master Pei, don't panic! My talisman will annihilate her soul! It will prevent her from ever causing trouble for your Pei family again!" Master Lu shouted.

He raised the talisman in his hand, about to throw it at the dried corpse, when at that moment I flipped my wrist and the Spirit-Crossing Fan appeared in my hand. I raised my hand and held the fan horizontally in front of him.

"Master, why be so ruthless?" I asked him with a smile.

At the same time, with my other hand I grabbed the dried corpse that was about to pounce on Old Master Pei, and affixed a corpse-fixing talisman that I had drawn myself to the body.

"She's a ghost of wealth! If we don't get rid of her, the Pei family will be finished." Master Lu took two steps back, looking at me with some vigilance.

"Master Lu is right! Only by getting rid of the Yin Cai Ghost can our Pei family survive!" Old Master Pei poked his head out from behind the bodyguard and shouted in our direction.

I couldn't help but sneer and said calmly, "Eliminating the Yin Wealth Ghost will only bring your Pei family even greater ruin. Do you think that by annihilating the Yin Wealth Ghost, the Pei family will be safe and sound?"

"Ha, how laughable. The Yin Cai Gui (a type of ghostly wealth) has a deep karmic relationship with the Pei family, and the Pei family will pay the price."

I can save the lives of the Pei family, but all their accumulated wealth must be wiped out and returned to its original state.

Master Lu's gaze darkened slightly as he looked at me and asked, "So, what do you intend to do?"

"I don't know," I replied, glancing at Xia Zheng. "You'll have to ask my master."

Master Lu's gaze shifted from me to Xia Zheng.

Xia Zheng is quite good at reading my expressions. When he saw Master Lu looking over, he immediately adopted a superior attitude.

He walked out from behind the virgin. He had already heard my conversation with Master Lu, so Xia Zheng spoke up as soon as he came over.

"Master Lu, why be so resentful? The ghost of the deceased died too tragically. Although it harbors deep resentment, it is not impossible to help it pass on. We who work in this line of work should be compassionate and accumulate good deeds."

"Leave the rest to my disciple; it's not time for me to make a move yet."

Xia Zheng patted my shoulder as he spoke, "Disciple, don't let your master down."

"Yes, don't worry, Master." I nodded.

After Xia Zheng finished speaking, he returned to the girl's back. I then said to Master Lu, "My master said we need to perform a ritual to release the spirit of the ghost of wealth. Master Lu, you have no objections, right?"

However, before Master Lu could answer, Old Master Pei's voice rang out, "I have an objection! I disagree! The Yin Cai Gui (a type of ghostly spirit) has caused my entire Pei family to fall into a deep sleep. Why should she deserve to be released from this slumber?"

I,"?"

Is this even human language?

Old Master Pei is just like his father—selfish and greedy.

"Dad, you're getting old. You can let go of the Pei family's affairs now," my mother suddenly said, her voice cold as she addressed Old Master Pei.

Upon hearing my mother's words, Old Master Pei's eyebrows shot up instantly, and he shouted at her, "Pei Jinghong! You are a daughter-in-law whom the Pei family has married into; you are always an outsider. The affairs of the Pei family are none of your business!"

Grandpa Pei's words startled my mother slightly, and then her expression turned cold, her eyes also turning cold.

"Old man, I've been married into the Pei family for over ten years, and you still treat me like an outsider? Even though we're not related by blood, I share the surname Pei, so how can you say we're not family?"

My mother nodded to me and said firmly, "Now that the Pei family is all asleep, I have the final say on the Pei family's affairs. I agree to perform the ritual to release the ghost of wealth."

Old Master Pei was extremely anxious. He suddenly looked at Master Lu and cried out, "Master Lu, do it!"

However, at this moment, Master Lu was studying the talismans on the dried corpse, marveling at them as he looked at them.

"Girl, why is your corpse-fixing talisman different from mine?" he suddenly asked me.
