Chapter 143: 143 Spirit Medium

As soon as the phone rang, Chang Yixin and Lai Xuelan immediately reacted.

How else could they have found this?

It must be that their daughter did something shameful, exposing themselves.

Chang Yixin flew into a rage, went up and slapped Chang Mengxi: "Chang Mengxi! You clearly know how much your mother and I have sacrificed to keep you, and look what you've done!"

Chang Mengxi's head was knocked to the side by the slap, the pain making her cry out.

Then Tushan Jiu saw that the yin energy around them had grown denser.

However, the slap and Chang Mengxi's cry caused Tushan Jiu to narrow her eyes.

Her fingers moved quickly twice, and her brows furrowed tighter.

Lai Xuelan grabbed Chang Yixin, saying, "At this point, why are you hitting Xiao Xi? You'd better go beg this master!"

She said, weeping as she turned and knelt before Tushan Jiu: "Master, please help, I only have this one daughter; I beg you—however much that person paid you to take my daughter, I'll pay double. Just turn a blind eye, and we'll immediately move Xiao Xi elsewhere—will that work?"

Tushan Jiu did not move.

She just stared at Lai Xuelan, then glanced at the despairing Chang Yixin.

Chang Yixin thought Tushan Jiu was silent because the wife's fee was too low, so he offered: "Master, how about this—we'll give you one million; see if that works..."

"'So that's it, no wonder I couldn't calculate.' Tushan Jiu muttered to herself."

Chang Yixin didn't understand: "What?"

Tushan Jiu's brows relaxed a little, she lifted her eyes to him and asked, "Did you make a pawn transaction with a spirit medium?"

Chang Yixin didn't know what a spirit medium was, but hearing the two words 'pawn' he froze instantly.

Tushan Jiu already had the answer.

After carefully examining the person opposite, she said, "This spirit medium is quite bold in pricing—demanding ten years of lifespan from each of you, twenty years total."

Spirit mediums are also called deceitful contractors.

Their bloodline is naturally able to communicate with spirits.

In ancient times, they were once a branch of the Wu tribe.

But later, after committing some mistakes, they were punished by the Wu tribe; unwilling to accept it, they broke away and formed their own lineage.

Just like the credit sword people, they are also a very minor lineage within the Mysterious Gate.

They also engage in pawnbroking between the yin and yang realms.

In the past, whenever someone died in a family, they would appear.

Then they would use their abilities to communicate and trade with the dead, fulfilling the deceased's regrets.

As for transactions with the living, it's the same as how the credit sword people operate—only they do it in the form of pawnbroking.

Unlike the credit sword people, however, they don't want gold or silver or objects; they take people's seven emotions and six desires, five senses and lifespan, etc.

But they are not good people at all.

And why say that?

Because the curse on her body is exactly the work of those spirit mediums.

So, with her enemies, how could they be good people?

But precisely because of this curse, she cannot calculate their whereabouts.

Her grudges with the Su family run too deep.

Cause and effect, bind the karma.

Only one thing about her is quite unexpected.

That is, have the Su family now sunk to such a degree?

They actually even engage in this kind of business.

It's too cheap.

What's the difference between them and that gang of evil sorcerers?

Oh, no.

They are the evil sorcerers!

From the moment they placed a death curse on the Tushan family, they are no longer worthy to be mystic practitioners.

Can't afford to play, little trash!

Tushan Jiu learned this phrase from Xie Jingting's mouth; she thinks it's quite applicable to those spirit mediums.

Her thoughts flashed, and Tushan Jiu answered Chang Yixin: "Cannot."

After speaking, she looked at Chang Mengxi, made hand signs and chanted a spell, directly taking her.

Lai Xuelan collapsed onto the ground.

Chang Yixin saw his daughter disappear before his eyes, furious, wanting to rush forward and fight Tushan Jiu.

But he was kicked down by a coordinated leg lift from Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu.

Chang Yixin unwilling, pointed at Tushan Jiu and scolded: "Xiao Xi is our lifeblood; are you trying to force our couple to death? Don't you have any compassion? I tell you, if we two leave this world because of longing for our daughter, it's all because of you! It's your karma, you will surely suffer......"

He hadn't even uttered the two words 'karmic retribution' when he heard Xie Shiyu on the phone behind him: "Hello, 110? I want to report the police, Xin Yuan Garden, Building 6, Unit 1404 is a yin residence, inside there are still corpses."

"Hello, Li Tezhu, help me contact all major media to come to Xin Yuan Garden once, say there's news here for them to report."

Two calls, just a few minutes.

Chang Yixin was dumbfounded.

And Xie Shiyu looked at him coldly: "Didn't you say my Jiujiu wants to force your death? Then I also want to join in as wife follows husband, right? See, I now also have karma with you, enough to force your deaths?"

Beside her, Tushan Jiu pressed her lips, wanting to laugh.

They arranged the yin residence here; they aren't unaware that Chang Mengxi's yin energy will increase day by day, thereby affecting the surrounding neighbors, even influencing this building, possibly in years affecting the whole community.

Why does Chang Mengxi, without any ghostly power, still become corporeal?

It's not because she is gradually absorbing the vitality of the surrounding residents.

From now on, her daytime sleep will keep getting shorter; after many years, once she has absorbed enough vitality, she can become a living corpse.

Ancient zombies grow fat at night and thin by day.

In that coffin in her bedroom lies her processed corpse.

Spirit mediums are raising corpses!

So, do they themselves have any morals, just learning to morally blackmail others?

Moreover, do they think that's the end of it?

Do they think they won't face any punishment at all?

No, no, no.

Not only did they sacrifice twenty years of their combined lifespan, but in the end it was all for nothing.

The office will not tolerate their behavior; criminal detention and fines are unavoidable.

They love their daughter and are willing to sacrifice themselves— that's acceptable.

But they absolutely should not make the innocent people around them foot the bill for their parental love!

Lai Xiulan on the ground covered her face and wept bitterly.

She then turned and begged Xie Shiyu again, pleading not to let the media report it.

Nowadays it's the internet age; if this gets out, they really won't be able to stay in Nan Cheng.

But Xie Shiyu never goes back on his word.

He just said lightly, "We're adults; we have to take responsibility for our words."
