Qi Xuanxuan hastily changed the topic. She felt like if they were to continue the conversation, her heart would get pierced by ten thousand arrows as someone without a partner!
“No, we’re going to check out the talisman shop.”
After exiting Deyi Inn, the duo walked toward the largest talisman shop in the city.
“After rambling on for half the day, the shopkeeper yesterday didn’t end up saying who the powerful talisman practitioner that Landlord Li hired was.”
“It was also hearsay for him.” Qiao Mu shook her head lightly. “He then spiced it up with some details. How is it possible to fight the ghost spirit for three days and two nights. That would alarm the entire city.”
“Isn’t that right,” Qi Xuanxuan concurred while pursing her lips.
Qiao Mu suddenly halted and stared at a robe designed for men hanging outside a clothes shop. She harrumphed and muttered, “So d*mn ugly.”
“Ah?” Qi Xuanxuan gasped in surprise and turned to see a mens robe with blooming green lotus flowers embroidered on the cuffs and corners. It looked rather exquisite.
“Isn’t it quite good-looking.” Qi Xuanxuan saw that a tall youth was trying on this outer robe.
However, Qiao Mu remarked with a frown, “It’s so d*mn ugly. It doesn’t even match up to a tenth of what I embroider!”
“Ha?” Qi Xuanxuan gazed at Qiao Mu weirdly. “Qiao Mu, you even learned how to embroider flowers! Mystic cultivators like us only need to focus on the path of cultivation. How do you still have the leisure to embroider flowers.”
“How about, next time you make an embroidered pouch for me?” Qi Xuanxuan requested with a grin.
“No can do.” Qiao Mu shook her petite head. “I only make embroidered pouches for my Lian.”
How come this “my small hands only embroider flowers for my hubby” sounded so grating to the ear!
Why did she suddenly feel like her heart was getting pierced?
Qi Xuanxuan’s heart hurt so much that she clutched her chest.
It was only later that she found out how pretty the lotus flowers Qiaoqiao embroidered were. She just didn’t understand where this little fellow’s confidence came from! She actually declared that the lotus flowers the clothes shop embroidered did not even compare to a tenth of hers!
How inflated was she…
It was only Crown Prince Mo who liked wearing Qiaoqiao’s deformed ink lotuses everywhere to show off…
It was so funny, but since he had good looks, he still looked handsome no matter what he wore!
The third shop over from the clothes shop was the largest talisman shop in Julu City.
However, before they reached the door, they saw a Daoist priest with a peach-wood sword chasing someone out the door while shouting, “Evil spirit, where are you running!”
“Ah!” There was a screech, and the woman the Daoist priest was chasing fell to the ground with a thud. She clambered forward in fright and just so happened to reach for Qiao Mu who was right next to her.
Before she could yell “Save me, Miss,” another person’s merciless foot stepped on the back of her hand.
“Ah!!” That woman let out a horrific scream.
The Daoist priest chased over and flourished his peach-wood sword while barking, “I order all evil monsters in the vicinity to be expelled. Talisman! Vanquish evil!”
*Slap!* That yellow talisman got stuck to the back of the woman’s head and undulated in the wind.
Qiao Mu blinked her eyes once, then twice. This talisman clearly contained no talisman energy. It was a fake talisman, an act.
When she turned her head and finally looked at the Daoist priest in the face, her eyes also turned round. She shouted in surprise and bewilderment, “It’s you!”
The Daoist priest cupped his hands at her. “This miss, do not be afraid. The ghost spirit has already been subdued by this Daoist priest. Within three days and nights, she will be burned to ashes by the talisman fire.”
