After Waking Up, I Inherited a Bookstore 94

Chapter 94: Hanging Ghost

“I’ve never encountered this situation before either. Chuxia, if there’s danger, just call Ke Yan over. Don’t hesitate.”

“Okay.”

The moment the two of them finished speaking, a gust of yin wind blew towards them.

Liu Chuxia and Jiang Jiajia quickly and warily looked in the direction the yin wind was coming from. They saw several heads flying towards them, but they stopped at a distance of five steps from them.

The expressions on each head were different. Some were smiling wickedly, some were afraid, and some were expressionless.

The only thing they had in common was that their eyes were all greedily staring at Liu Chuxia and Jiang Jiajia.

“Jiajia, what are these things?” Liu Chuxia asked, a little nervous as she looked at the heads floating in mid-air in front of them.

“Flying Head Fiends. Be careful. These things are extremely fast. Don’t let them get close, or a piece of your flesh will be bitten off in an instant,” Jiang Jiajia said, holding an immobilization talisman in her hand and warily looking at the five heads in front of them.

Liu Chuxia swallowed nervously. “Okay. Then do these things have any weaknesses?”

“They’re very easy to beat. A few Exorcism Talismans should be enough to blow them up. But the difficult part is hitting them.”

“Okay, I got it.” Liu Chuxia tightened her grip on the iron sword in her right hand, holding a tracking talisman in her left. Then she looked at the white figure that had just been standing in the middle of the five heads.

Because the light was too dark, Liu Chuxia couldn’t see what the thing looked like. She could only vaguely see a white cloth floating in the air.

The white figure took a step forward and said, “Ladies, I do not wish to be your enemy. As long as you leave now and don’t disturb my business, then your trespassing and ruining my business can be written off.” The voice gave off a gentle and refined feeling, mild and powerful.

“That’s a nice thing to say. I’m afraid we’ll be dead the moment we turn around. Don’t worry, we will definitely meddle in your business. You ghosts have already affected ordinary people, which is a violation of the rules. And you’ve also destroyed the formation here, completely disregarding us Spirit Masters. Come on, I’d like to see how many tricks you have,” Jiang Jiajia said, burning an evil-dispelling talisman and throwing it out.

The heads, affected by the righteous qi in the evil-dispelling talisman, retreated, their faces contorted and ugly.

Liu Chuxia’s Blood Jade had its own evil-dispelling effect, so she didn’t bring any evil-dispelling talismans.

But she had a Qi Concealing Talisman. Liu Chuxia self-ignited one, and the heads opposite her, like headless flies that had lost their target, flew around randomly, looking for people. They had finally encountered such fragrant food, they couldn’t just lose it.

“All of you, come back!” the white figure roared.

Then the heads obediently flew back.

“Since you two are so ungrateful, don’t blame me for being merciless. Children, form the formation!” The white figure made a hand seal, and all the heads around it quickly revolved around it. After about a minute, the five heads slowly stopped. They also grew a little larger, and then suddenly disappeared.

“Hehehehehahahahaha, you can enjoy the feeling of having a piece of your flesh bitten off in an instant!” The white figure walked a few steps forward and said with a smile, looking at the spot where Liu Chuxia and Jiang Jiajia had been standing.

Liu Chuxia and Jiang Jiajia had already walked behind it. It was only at this moment that Liu Chuxia saw what this white figure looked like.

Its entire face was purplish-blue, and its eyes were bulging out. Wasn’t this a hanging ghost?

Liu Chuxia had thought from the voice that it would be a handsome young man or something. Who would have thought it would look like this? Weren’t ghosts supposed to be very concerned about their appearance? Or did that only apply to female ghosts?

The hanging ghost was still rambling on, while Liu Chuxia and Jiang Jiajia were already prepared.

First, Liu Chuxia threw out a burning Soul-Binding Talisman, and then Jiang Jiajia followed closely behind with a burning immobilization talisman. They all threw them at the hanging ghost.

Liu Chuxia rushed forward with her iron sword, but a head suddenly appeared from nowhere and was about to bite down on Liu Chuxia’s arm. If not for Jiang Jiajia’s timely Soul-Extinguishing Talisman, Liu Chuxia’s arm might have been a bloody mess by now.

Liu Chuxia immediately stopped her attack and then retreated to Jiang Jiajia’s side at an extremely fast speed. She looked at the bite mark on her arm with lingering fear. It had already started to turn purplish-blue, and a stabbing pain came from it from time to time.

“Chuxia, are you okay?” Jiang Jiajia asked.

Liu Chuxia shook her head. “I’m fine. Thank you just now. If not for your timely intervention, my hand would probably be useless.”

“Sigh, what’s there to thank? It’s good that you’re okay.”

The hanging ghost had already turned around. Although it couldn’t see them, it still smiled and looked ahead. “Hehehe, with my protective formation, you can’t even get close.”

Liu Chuxia frowned. “Jiajia, this thing is not easy to break. Those heads are too fast. I can’t dodge them at all.”

“Let me think of a way. It can’t see us now, but those heads know that we’re attacking this hanging ghost. It seems this protective formation of its is quite advanced. I just don’t know where this hanging ghost learned it. If we can find the source, it’ll be easy to break,” Jiang Jiajia said as she folded something in her hand.

“We can’t find the source now, can we? Is there no universal method?”

“There is. Wait a moment, I’ll be done soon,” Jiang Jiajia said, her hands moving faster and faster. In a short while, a pile of paper cranes folded from yellow paper appeared on the ground.

“Chuxia, draw an Exorcism curse on them.”

“What do I use to draw?” Liu Chuxia asked in confusion. They hadn’t brought any brushes or the like when they came out.

Jiang Jiajia looked up at her and, seeing that she really didn’t know, chuckled softly. “Bite your middle finger and use the blood from your middle finger to draw. Because the yang energy in the middle finger is the most abundant among the five fingers.”

“Do I really have to bite it? Is there a knife or something?” Liu Chuxia asked with some difficulty, looking at her middle finger.

“There is. Here, your iron sword,” Jiang Jiajia said with a smile.

“Don’t you dare tease me. This sword has killed so many ghosts. Even if it looks clean, I still find it dirty. Forget it, I’ll just bite it,” Liu Chuxia said, trying to bite it for the first time. But because she bit too lightly, her teeth slipped right off her fingertip.

Jiang Jiajia stood up and looked at her. “You’re biting too lightly. Watch me.”

Jiang Jiajia personally demonstrated. Liu Chuxia watched carefully, and since she was a fast learner, her middle finger was bleeding in no time.

“Damn, it hurts,” Liu Chuxia’s eyes instantly turned red.

“It’s like this the first time. You’ll get used to it slowly. Hurry up and draw. This blood will be gone soon. And that hanging ghost is going crazy over there. The Qi Concealing Talisman’s time is running out.”

“Okay.” Liu Chuxia drew the first one, following Jiang Jiajia’s example. Then she slowly became proficient. In the middle, because she ran out of blood, Liu Chuxia took another bite, which hurt like hell.

In a short while, the paper cranes on the ground were finally finished. There were twenty in total. Liu Chuxia looked at these things and thought of her middle finger, which was still hurting. Because the curses she drew would be more effective, Jiang Jiajia had her draw all the remaining nineteen.

Jiang Jiajia took out a band-aid and handed it to Liu Chuxia.

“I didn’t expect you to bring this,” Liu Chuxia said as she put it on.

“Because A Nian is afraid of pain, so I bring it.”

Liu Chuxia hadn’t expected to get a mouthful of PDA at a time like this.

“Alright, alright. I know you love your A Nian the most~” Liu Chuxia said with a teasing smile.
