Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

The old lady next door saw a Taoist priest in the men's courtyard and hurried over as well.

"Taoist priest, please come to my house." The old woman's voice trembled slightly. "My stove is always backfiring, it's so smoky. It must be that female ghost blocking the chimney, trying to steal my food."

Ji Chaoxi immediately became agitated: "This is utter nonsense, blatant lies, utter rubbish, and utter utter gibberish!"

Does she have to block the chimney when she eats at her own home? That's so dirty!

Xie Qingyan glanced at the old woman and nodded: "Please lead me there."

The old woman quickly led Xie Qingyan into her house, and the man followed.

Xie Qingyan glanced at the stove, then at the chimney.

The old woman was terrified and kept crying.

Xie Qingyan found a long bamboo pole, tied a stiff broom to it, and poked at the top of the chimney a few times. Black ash fell to the ground, and the chimney was cleared immediately.

"Auntie, from now on, if the chimney is backfiring, you can just poke the ash off the top."

The old woman took the bamboo pole and was dumbfounded.

Is that all?

Ji Chaoxi floated in the air and said softly, "Don't blame everything on the female ghost."

The old woman smiled sheepishly: "Thank you, Taoist priest. Ever since there have been ghosts in this village, I've felt that all the bad things are done by ghosts."

"The cured meat I left hanging on the window before had lost its smell, and I thought it must have been made by a ghost. Now that I think about it, it was probably because I didn't handle it properly."

Ji Chaoxi stood to the side, feeling guilty, and remained silent.

She did indeed suck the meat, but she only sucked a few mouthfuls; the rest was sucked up by other ghosts.

The meat at the old lady's house smells pretty good.

However, she swindled half a string of coins for the old woman, which came from the man who stole the peach tree.

More and more people gathered at the entrance, all coming to see the Taoist priest who had just entered the village.

An old man, leaning on a cane, staggered over and said, "Taoist priest, could you please take a look at my well?"

"My well has been bitter and very murky lately; it's possible that a ghost died inside it."

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions immediately changed, and they all looked at Xie Qingyan in fear.

Xie Qingyan looked at the old man: "Grandpa, then please take me to see him."

A large group of people crowded together and went there in a great commotion. The old man was almost knocked over by them.

"You guys are blind! My old bones can't take this kind of abuse."

The others quickly moved aside, and the old man coughed angrily.

Sure enough, as soon as we arrived at the well at the old man's house, we smelled a foul stench, and there was a dead chicken next to it, with chicken blood all over the ground.

Seeing Xie Qingyan looking at the chicken on the ground, the old man quickly explained, "Taoist priest, I use this chicken to ward off evil spirits."

Xie Qingyan nodded and said nothing more.

He somehow found a pile of charcoal and coarse sand and poured it into the well.

People around were crowding around the well to look, and Ji Chaoxi was also watching intently.

"Grandpa, if there's any strange smell in the well again, just sprinkle charcoal and coarse sand in layers, and the water will clear up in three days," Xie Qingyan said calmly.

The old man was deeply moved: "Taoist Master, if you hadn't come, we really wouldn't know what to do. This female ghost is extremely poisonous."

Xie Qingyan slung the bundle over her shoulder and looked at the old man in front of her: "These have nothing to do with the female ghost. If there's too much filth in the well, it will naturally stink."

Ji Chaoxi nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

The old man still didn't believe it. He shook his head and said, "Taoist priest, I know you're saying this to keep us from being scared, but everyone knows what's going on."

"There are more and more bachelors in this village, and that's because of that female ghost."

"Most of the babies born this year are girls, and there are very few boys. It must be that the female ghost has cast a curse on the village."

"And these natural and man-made disasters are all caused by that female ghost in the village. It's a pity that many Taoist priests have come, but they just can't catch her."

Ji Chaoxi tried her best to defend herself: "I'm not that amazing."

How can being single be blamed on her?

Seeing that the old man said that, Xie Qingyan stopped explaining to him.

He looked at the man who had led him there: "Young master, could you please take me to the Zhao family's crabapple garden now?"

The man quickly nodded: "Of course, of course."

Seeing Xie Qingyan about to leave again, Ji Chaoxi became anxious: "Are you really not able to see me?"

She waved her hand, and Xie Qingyan walked right through her again.

She stared dumbfounded at his retreating figure. Wasn't Xie Qingyan supposed to be very powerful? Yet he couldn't even see a little devil like her.

Just then, Ji Chaoxi spotted a caravan on the other side of the mountain and quickly floated over.

We have food to eat again.

The caravan stopped to rest on the rocky hill. The innkeeper instructed his assistants to stick several sticks of incense into the ground and throw stacks of paper money into the fire.

The innkeeper bowed and said in a low voice, "If you are passing by, please do me a favor and don't startle the mules or horses or make them lose their way."

When Ji Chaoxi arrived, her eyes lit up. The other ghosts hadn't arrived yet, and she was going to absorb all the paper money and incense.

The caravan set off after burning the paper money. Just as they were about to absorb the power of the wishes, a horse-faced demon suddenly appeared and quietly looked at Ji Chaoxi.

Ji Chaoxi hesitated and said, "I can share some with you."

The next second, she was blown away.

Ji Chaoxi: ...

Even ghosts can't escape the law of the jungle.

She could only stand by and watch helplessly as the horse-faced demon absorbed the power of those wishes.

How can you be so immoral...?

After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice suddenly came from the mountains.

"Taoist priest, you don't know, there are a lot of strange things happening in our Qingxi Village. Someone who knows about this told us that there are more ghosts than people in our Qingxi Village." The man couldn't stop sighing.

"Ghosts need to be distinguished. As long as they are not evil ghosts, it doesn't matter," Xie Qingyan said calmly.

The horse-faced demon, who was absorbing the power of wishes, suddenly froze, and his soul began to twist.

Ji Chaoxi watched from the side, completely bewildered. What was going on?

Dining ceremony?

The next second, the horse-faced demon was sucked away. Ji Chaoxi looked in that direction and saw Xie Qingyan standing not far away, holding a gourd in his hand.

When the horse-faced ghost went in, it let out a scream that nearly pierced Ji Chaoxi's eardrums.

The man watching Xie Qingyan's actions broke out in a cold sweat: "Dao...Daoist Master, did you just subdue a ghost?"

Xie Qingyan calmly said, "Young master, there's no need to be afraid. It's just a little devil."

The man swallowed hard and chuckled dryly a few times.

He's a Taoist priest, so of course he's not afraid. But as an ordinary person, he still has to be afraid of what he should be afraid of.

Ji Chaoxi stood there silently waiting to die.

It's about time for her.

Then she watched helplessly as Xie Qingyan and the man walked right past her without even glancing at her.

Ji Chaoxi immediately called the system.

"System, system, don't give me any cheat codes! Xie Qingyan can't even see me anymore!"

The system was indeed summoned by Ji Chaoxi's soul-summoning-like call.

She's become a ghost now, and when she calls out to people, she makes a series of sobbing sounds that sound like crying but not crying, which makes the system feel uneasy.

What's wrong with your voice?

Ji Chaoxi scratched her head sheepishly: "I learned it from the female ghost in the next village. She taught me that ghosts all call out like that."

She studied it for a long time. At first, it sounded like weeping in the distance; upon closer listening, it sounded like whispering in one's ear, as delicate as a spider's thread, and was very beautiful.

That ghost even said she had talent.

[Stop imitating a female ghost's scream!]

Ji Chaoxi nodded honestly: "Alright then."

I didn't give you any cheat codes.

"Then why can't he see me?" Ji Chaoxi asked, puzzled.

You can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. Remember to do more bad things; the bad things you've done in this world are far from enough!

"Haven't I done enough bad things?" Ji Chaoxi was extremely embarrassed.

The system didn't even bother to talk to her; the cicada ghost in the tree had done more bad things than she had.

What's most frustrating is that even though she's now a ghost, she's still often afraid of ghosts.
