Bai Chen gave her a sidelong glance and frowned slightly. What new crazy idea was she coming up with this time?
"I'm planning to set up a fortune - telling stall! This way, I can practice drawing talismans, help others, and make money! The most important thing is... there's a high chance I'll encounter the evil spirit that possessed someone and killed before. This will greatly increase the odds of capturing it! It's really killing several birds with one stone, no, it's achieving multiple goals at once!"
Wan Ruo said while looking smug, feeling like she was extremely smart and ingenious!
Wan Ruo was still self - satisfied!
Bai Chen: "..."
Unexpectedly, Bai Chen poured cold water on her directly.
"No way!" Bai Chen coldly refused.
Wan Ruo was so angry that she almost jumped up. She frowned slightly and questioned in disbelief, "Why?"
"I can't believe you came up with such a stupid idea! Let's not even talk about whether you're capable of helping others with your current skills. With your ghost - attracting constitution, are you tired of living by doing this?" Bai Chen deliberately said contemptuously.
Bai Chen did consider this matter from the perspective of caring about Wan Ruo, but Wan Ruo misunderstood his words!
"Stop looking down on me! I'll prove it to you. I'm not a weak girl! Humph!" Wan Ruo angrily left a harsh word and turned away!
Bai Chen: "..."
I really wish you were a weak girl!
Bai Chen watched Wan Ruo's figure helplessly and sighed.
Meanwhile, Qin Manman was still dodging around on the street, looking for accessories to cover her scar.
But every time she was about to try on something, she was timid. The stall owner even thought she was a thief!
"Hey, miss, if you don't want to buy, don't touch things randomly. You've tried on so many, and it's getting dark. Are you going to buy or not?" The stall owner was a middle - aged woman with a very loud voice. Her shout attracted the attention of everyone on the street.
Qin Manman looked around. The intense gazes from the people around made her even more nervous. She was just about to take out money and leave when she felt her pocket. Only to find that she had left in a hurry and didn't bring any silver!
Seeing this, the stall owner became even more impatient and said disdainfully, "Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like someone without money. You've been picking for so long here. You've almost rummaged through all my stuff, and in the end, you don't have money to buy. It's so strange and sneaky! Get out of here. I'm so unlucky!"
At this moment, Qin Manman wished she could tear the woman's mouth apart. If it were normal, she would have slapped her already!
At this time, she didn't want to be the center of attention. She just wanted to leave quickly. Even though she was full of anger, she had to swallow it.
She quickly threw down the accessory in her hand and fled in a hurry.
It was already late at this time. She didn't know which alley she had run into, but it was definitely a deserted place.
She could finally catch her breath. Her heart was pounding wildly, as if she was a thief afraid of being caught!
"Qin... Man... Man..."
Suddenly, a strange voice came, as if calling her name!
"Qin... Man... Man..."
"Who? Who's there?" Qin Manman's heart rate accelerated. In this pitch - black alley with no lights, she could only vaguely see things by the moonlight.
'Whoosh' Something small darted past her eyes. It seemed to be a baby?
There was also a strange laugh.
She lifted the curtain in front of her and summoned up her courage to take two steps forward, trying to see what it was.
Suddenly, she felt movement behind her.
She looked back and was scared out of her wits. It really seemed like a baby had run past!
She was shaking with fear. She swallowed hard and wanted to turn around and run, but her legs wouldn't listen to her!
She stood there. The moonlight shone on her, and she watched helplessly as a baby walked towards her from the dark corner.
The baby was blue all over, with a strange smile on its face. Qin Manman collapsed to the ground at once.
She wanted to shout for help, but she found that she couldn't make a sound. She was so anxious that she burst into tears!
"Do you want to become beautiful?" The infant spirit asked her sinisterly.
Qin Manman frowned slightly, thinking she had misheard!
"I can make you beautiful. As long as you offer sacrifices to me, I can help you achieve your wishes!" The infant spirit stared at her strangely.
Hearing about becoming beautiful, Qin Manman immediately showed a terrifying look in her eyes from her timid expression!
In order to become beautiful, she didn't care about anything now. As long as it could make her beautiful, she was willing to do anything!
Just like this, Qin Manman seemed to be possessed. She followed the instructions of the infant spirit and came to the back of a deserted house alone.
It was rumored that this place was haunted, so almost no one dared to come here. No one knew where Qin Manman got the courage to step into this place!
She followed the infant spirit's instructions and seemed to be rummaging through the ruins for something.
She rummaged through the ruins with her bare hands for a long time. Suddenly, she stopped. It seemed that she had found something!
It looked like the body of an unborn baby. The shriveled body had dried up.
When the infant spirit saw the dried - up body, it let out a mournful wail, which was really creepy!
Obviously, this was the original body of the infant spirit!
It had been abandoned in the ruins for some years!
No wonder the infant spirit had so much resentment. It turned out to be an abandoned baby.
Qin Manman wrapped the mummified body of the infant spirit and secretly took it home.
She waited until no one was around, then took it into her room and closed the doors and windows.
Following the instructions of the infant spirit, she wrapped the mummified body with gold powder, turning it into a gilded infant corpse.
Then she offered sacrifices to it. On the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month, she had to drip her own blood on the mummified body.
With the offerings, the already deeply resentful infant spirit seemed to be empowered, and its magic power became even stronger!
"I've done as you asked. What about what you promised me? Where's my beauty?" Qin Manman said seriously.
The infant spirit cast a spell on her!
At this moment, the weather outside suddenly changed. It immediately started to rain heavily, and thunder roared!
Suddenly, Zhang's voice came from outside, "Manman, is that you back?"
Qin Manman replied nervously, "Yes, mother. I'm back!"
"Then open the door and let me in!"
"Um, mother, I'm a bit tired from going out today. I'm going to rest now. You should rest quickly too. We can talk about anything tomorrow!" Qin Manman quickly found an excuse to fob her off.
"Okay, then you should rest well!"
"Okay!"
Qin Manman didn't relax until she heard no more movement outside.
At this time, the infant spirit said to her, "Now you can look at yourself in the mirror!"
Hearing this, Qin Manman quickly grabbed a copper mirror beside her. Sure enough, the huge scar on her forehead had miraculously disappeared!
Her perfect skin showed no sign of the previous scar at all!
Qin Manman was overjoyed. She smiled contentedly, then put away her smile and showed a sinister look. She said to the infant spirit, "I want revenge. Help me find the old woman who cast the spell on me. I want her to die a horrible death!"
"I can fulfill your wish, but before that, you need to do something for me!" The infant spirit's voice was extremely cold and creepy.
"What is it?"
