"Yes, yes, yes, the main business is important! Master, whatever you need us to cooperate with, just tell us directly! We'll cooperate unconditionally!"
Before Big Brother could even react, his mother, standing nearby, hastily responded on his behalf. At this moment, the latter let out a long sigh of relief. Compared to her son inviting trouble on himself,
being harmed by someone else seemed a little easier to accept. If it were the former, it might end up like those TV dramas with a human-ghost romance, and she truly would drop dead from anger on the spot.
"Auntie, you don't need to do anything! Big Brother just needs to sit still and cooperate, that's all!"
"Since you've come to Fire Cloud Temple, just relax. All your problems will be solved!"
Yao Yao confidently patted her small chest, speaking very earnestly. This wasn't her boasting; she truly had the ability. After all, Fire Cloud Temple was her territory. In the past, when she had nothing to do, Yao Yao would constantly etch formation runes.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Fire Cloud Temple currently lacks even a mountain-guarding formation; in reality, it's just not activated yet. Once Yao Yao takes her place at the formation's core and activates it, even an Emperor would not necessarily be able to breach the formation immediately.
As for catching an evil ghost? That's as good as done, absolutely no problem at all.
The Master's words truly allowed the two of them to set their minds at ease. To avoid bothering the Master, the person involved remained utterly silent, sitting perfectly upright.
Yao Yao then turned to prepare her tools. The Netherworld Marriage contract could not only help the evil ghost seek out Big Brother, but conversely, it could also help Yao Yao capture the ghost in reverse. As for why she needed to prepare? Of course, it was to seize the opponent and bring them before her, so she could eradicate them completely and feel at ease.
Thus, the two watched as a bronze censer, incense sticks, a peach-wood sword, cinnabar talismans, and various other demon-slaying artifacts were carefully laid out on the altar table.
"Hehe, Big Brother, are you ready? I'm going to start!"
Yao Yao's small face was adorned with a sweet smile, devoid of any worry, exuding absolute confidence. For some unknown reason, Ke Xiaodong, who had been incredibly nervous, felt his entire being calm down after seeing the Master's expression. He nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, you can go right ahead. If I so much as squeak, then consider me a coward with no guts!"
Yao Yao cast a surprised glance at Big Brother, who had just made such a bold boast, a flicker of exasperation in her large eyes. However, she said nothing more, instead deftly lighting the thin incense sticks, using the peach-wood sword to pick up the talismans laid out on the table, and began chanting incantations under her breath.
"Po Jun shines, grand is the wondrous court. Wen Qu and Yu Heng, revolve the Xuan Ji. Ju Men guards righteousness, seize and bring to Kui Gang. Swift as the decree!"
This was the incantation for a soul-seizing talisman. Ordinarily, the limit for this spell's range would be within ten kilometers. That female ghost clearly understood that ten kilometers wasn't safe enough, and had hidden at least thirty kilometers away. For anyone else, there might have been no way.
But with the aid of the Netherworld Marriage contract, Yao Yao could "seize" the opponent from anywhere, let alone thirty kilometers away even from the ends of the earth.
So, this time was no exception. As the talisman paper turned to ash, a few breaths later, the air throughout the entire room suddenly turned cold.
Ke Xiaodong couldn't help but shrink his neck, goosebumps erupting all over his arms.
'This can't be it, right?!' he muttered to himself.
It was broad daylight, and a sudden drop in temperature for no reason was anything but normal. If he were alone right now, he would have jumped up already. But now? He had just boasted, so there was no way he could embarrass himself like that...
Yao Yao glanced at Big Brother, whose face was turning a faint green from holding his breath, then quickly shifted her gaze. Her eyes were primarily fixed on the red-clad female ghost before her.
The ghost's head was somewhat dazed at the moment, unclear how it had suddenly changed locations. It didn't move its neck, but turned its head to survey its surroundings. Then, without surprise, its gaze met Yao Yao's.
The small child's complexion was rosy, like a New Year's doll often seen in paintings, but the red-clad malevolent ghost felt a shiver down its spine. It reacted instinctively, like a mouse that had stepped on a cat's tail, charging out without hesitation.
Even when it caught sight of its Netherworld Marriage husband along the way, that couldn't make it pause for a moment. The terror that this small child instilled in it was simply too intense. Its intuition as a malevolent ghost told it that if it didn't run now, it might truly die this time.
'Damn it, it must be that man's helper.'
The red-clad female ghost's mind was clear as day; it instantly guessed the truth and longed to tear the latter to shreds, but it adhered to the principle that a wise man knows when to retreat. Whatever the problem, it would deal with it after escaping this ordeal, and then settle scores properly with that dead man.
However, as it thought this, a sharp pain suddenly shot through its chest. Its fleeing steps halted, and it lowered its head in horror. Its gaze fell upon a section of pitch-black chain, piercing straight through its chest. As for its long-cultivated Yin Qi armor, it had been utterly useless.
"Hehe, running fast is no use, Big Sister. Since you've come, have a cup of tea before you leave!"
Yao Yao spoke with a smiling face. With a flick of her wrist, clink, clink, the chains let out a crisp sound. In the blink of an eye, the malevolent ghost was already caught in her hand.
