First, you can’t even reach it; even if you somehow made it to the gate, no one has ever passed through it since it appeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these words, Wu Xian hurled a spray bottle slightly larger than a mineral water bottle toward the possession spirits in the room!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they offered an explanation, Wu Xian would not argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These female ghosts were the “daughters” Wu Xian had subdued across different cycles; though their surnames differed, all were named Xiaoyan.
