Ming Zun sat silently throughout.
Qi Yu forced a save: "Am I that kind of person?"
Ming Zun's gaze answered: Yes, you are.
Feng Si laughed and fell to the ground.
Qi Yu grabbed Si Qing's collar: "Am I the kind of person who forgets a few identities because I have too many?"
Si Qing looked weak, pitiful, and helpless, hugging the equally weak, pitiful, and helpless Xiao Ming Lou: "Sister, whatever you say is right!"
Qi Yu: "..."
Qi Yu felt that Si Qing was too perfunctory and wanted to slap her.
While they were playing, the carriage slowly drove to a place that looked like a graveyard, with graves everywhere, some with offerings from loved ones.
Qi Nian was completely unnerved: "No, why are we here?"
Shouldn't they be going to the Talisman斋 (Fu Lu Zhai)?
"This is the location chosen by the owner for the main entrance of the Talisman斋," Ming Zun explained word by word, as if afraid others would misunderstand that he chose this spot.
Everyone turned their gazes towards Qi Yu.
Qi Yu showed a rare hint of embarrassment: "I have my reasons for setting the main entrance in a graveyard, because... the target customers of the Talisman斋 are not humans at all..."
As the words fell, Sui You turned to look outside the carriage and was surprised to find that dozens of malevolent spirits had gathered around them at some point.
They floated in the air, all in their various tragic states from before death.
Seeing the carriage approach, they all shouted greetings to Ming Zun, asking where he had been today.
The carriage stopped in an open space.
Qi Yu was the first to get out.
Seeing her, the group of malevolent spirits became even more excited:
"The owner is here!"
"Owner, long time no see, the Dream-Dragging Talisman you invented is so useful. My family knew I was lacking things and burned a lot of good stuff for me."
"Owner, after so long, where have you been?"
"Owner, come play!"
"Owner, these few people around you have such strong demonic and immortal energies, which big shots are they from?"
These malevolent spirits were very enthusiastic, surrounding Qi Yu and the others as soon as they got out of the carriage.
If it were ordinary people, they would have been overwhelmed by the resentment of these spirits, but fortunately, none of them were ordinary, so apart from a chilling wind, they felt nothing else.
Qi Yu answered them one by one:
"It's good that the Dream-Dragging Talisman is useful, but it damages one's own magical power, so try to use it less if possible."
"I haven't been in the human world for several hundred years due to some special circumstances. Thank you all for missing me."
"These few people around me are my father, mother, younger brother, younger sister, and senior brothers and sisters."
"This is my friend, Can Xue."
Can Xue never expected Qi Yu to remember to introduce her. She blushed and introduced herself in a small voice. After introducing herself, she stood obediently beside Qi Yu, drawing Si Qing's frequent glances.
Si Qing glared at Can Xue, acting sneakily, pulling out the sleeve of her robe that Qi Yu was holding, and then nudged it, nudging it between Qi Yu and Can Xue.
Like a protruding wooden rod, a wicked mother-in-law breaking up a young couple, forcefully inserting herself and blocking Can Xue's path to closeness with Qi Yu.
Sister belongs to him alone.
Whether it's Can Xue or anyone else, they are not allowed to take her away.
Can Xue rolled her eyes at Si Qing with a hint of disdain.
Qi Yu didn't notice Si Qing's thoughts, holding Xiao Ming Lou in her arms, and also patted Si Qing's head.
Ming Zun led Qi Yu into the Talisman斋 and to the main seat.
Everyone followed behind.
After everyone had entered, Ming Zun lifted the curtain beside him, revealing a token:
"Owner, everyone, look, this is the protective barrier of the Talisman斋 that covers the Seven Wonders Mountain."
"This barrier was originally set up by the owner, and I never touched it. If you say the medium of this barrier has become a鲛珠 (Jiao Zhu - Mermaid Pearl), it must have been done by that evil energy when it controlled me."
"I just don't know where that evil energy hid the鲛珠 that serves as the medium."
More to come later!
