A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour

The man scrambled and crawled to the carriage.

He was Liu Chang, the son of Liu Gengfu. Tonight, he was on patrol for his father when he unexpectedly encountered such a strange thing.

When Liu Chang saw Liu Shang and Ren Bao, tears streamed down his face.

Humans! They are human beings!

He gasped for breath, pointing in terror at the stone bridge: "Don't go over there! I just stepped onto the bridge and it broke! And there's a woman in a red wedding dress sitting under the bridge, holding an umbrella. Girl, run away quickly!"

Liu Shang tiptoed to look, but could only feel a strong yin energy and could not see anything else. She shook the corpse-driving bell in her hand.

No response.

It seems the woman hasn't turned into a corpse yet.

That's not a person, it's a soul.

Liu Shang turned to Ren Bao: "Little Yama, what do you say?"

Renbao jumped off the carriage and pointed to the area under the stone bridge: "Let's go take a look."

Liu Chang was dumbfounded, his feet seemingly rooted to the spot. Reason told him to leave quickly, but his gaze followed Ren Bao's movements.

Just now.

A profound and mysterious voice came from the south: "Those standing in front, do not move. Let this old Taoist priest subdue the evil spirit."

Renbao looked over in confusion.

An old Taoist priest dressed in a purple robe slowly emerged from the black mist, followed by two figures.

An old man and a young man.

Liu Chang whispered, "It's Master Zhou and his son from the city. They're salt merchants, and they're very rich."

rich!

Upon hearing this, Renbao's eyes lit up. She stepped forward, tilting her head sweetly to ask Old Master Zhou, "Uncle, how much money did you give him to subdue the evil spirit?"

Mr. Zhou was taken aback.

Where did this little baby come from in the middle of the night?

He held up one finger: "A thousand taels."

One thousand taels!

Renbao's mouth dropped open in surprise.

She's a little devil! She only takes one hundred taels.

Treacherous path!

Her round eyes looked at the old Taoist priest and sized him up.

The old Taoist priest remained calm and composed, maintaining an air of otherworldly wisdom. He tried to ignore Renbao's gaze—just a little baby—but for some reason, his right eyelid twitched.

"Which Taoist temple are you the abbot of?" Renbao asked crisply.

The old Taoist priest ignored her.

Renbao walked over, looked up at him, and said angrily, "I'm talking to you!"

Zhou Fang spoke up: "The Taoist priest is the abbot of Baiyun Temple. His Taoist skills are profound. Little child, please don't block our way. Let us pass."

"Baiyun Temple? Never heard of it." Renbao recalled the Taoist temple that Daoxuan had introduced to him.

The most popular Taoist temples are Qingshan Temple, Wudang Mountain, and Longhu Mountain.

The old Taoist priest snorted, "What do you know, little brat? Get out of the way."

Renbao, hands on his hips, retorted with a strong voice: "You don't understand! Xuanxuan said that there are only a handful of Taoist priests who can wear purple robes. They are the most powerful beings in Taoism. If you are so powerful, you must have seen me."

"You don't even know me, which means you're not very capable; you're a fraud!"

The old Taoist priest paused, then squinted at Liu Shang and Liu Chang: "Nonsense! Is this your child? Take him away immediately!"

"Are you panicking!" Renbao shook the soul-hooking rope at his waist and said to Master Zhou, "Even a swindler demands a thousand taels, but I only need a hundred taels to capture the female ghost under the bridge."

All around was quiet.

The old Taoist priest picked at his ears; he must have heard correctly.

Master Zhou's lips twitched: "Little brat, don't talk big. I'll give you ten taels of silver to buy some candy."

"Everyone, why don't you stop arguing and look back?" Liu Chang's eyes widened, his voice trembling as he looked at the people behind him, who were shaking like leaves.

Master Zhou's heart tightened, and he froze, not daring to move. A chilling aura swept over him, and the cold air crept up from the soles of his feet, raising goosebumps all over his body.

Will you give me a betrothal gift and marry me?

Have you seen my betrothal gifts?

A soft female voice rang out.

The female ghost in her wedding dress, holding an oil-paper umbrella, stood with her feet off the ground behind Master Zhou.

Master Zhou swallowed hard, looking pleadingly at the old Taoist priest: "Master, please help!"

Liu Shang quickly picked up Renbao and put him into the carriage. She lifted the curtain and said to Liu Chang, "Would you like to come in?"

Liu Chang nodded quickly, climbed onto the carriage, and was still trembling violently: "Won't she come over then?"

"Don't worry, with Little Yama here, no foolish evil spirit will dare to come forward," Liu Chang said.

Little...King Yama?

Liu Chang was even more frightened.

He's still young, he doesn't want to meet his maker so soon!

"Master Zhou, Young Master Zhou, hide behind me." The old Taoist priest took out a peach wood sword and a compass, and busied himself with them for a while, looking quite professional.

Master Zhou trembled with fear.

Zhou Fang shielded him behind her: "Father, don't be afraid. With the Taoist priest here, we will surely turn misfortune into good fortune."

boom!

As soon as the words were spoken, the two people's pupils widened in disbelief as they watched the old Taoist priest being slapped three zhang high by the female ghost in the wedding dress, and then crash heavily to the ground without moving.

Zhou Fang looked flustered.

The ghost in her wedding dress stepped forward: "Have you seen my betrothal gifts?"

"No..." Zhou Fang stammered, taking a step back.

"Never seen it before? Then how about you offer yourself as a dowry?" The ghostly woman in the wedding dress chuckled, her ghostly figure flashing before disappearing from the spot.

"Sister Yishang, why aren't you taking away the ghost?" Renbao sat in the carriage with her legs crossed, a sweet candy in her mouth. She didn't need to look outside to know what had happened.

Liu Shang smiled and said, "Let them come and beg you."

Renbao blinked her big eyes: "Okay."

Liu Chang glanced at Liu Shang, then at Ren Bao, and cautiously leaned forward, asking, "Little one, what's your background?"

"I'm the Little King of Hell!" Renbao was about to give him a smile when his expression suddenly froze. He looked down and spat out a tooth into the little hand, stared at it for a moment, and then burst into tears, sobbing, "Renbao's tooth."

Liu Changzheng was startled by her self-proclaimed identity and saw her crying because she had lost a tooth.

If she really is a little devil, she doesn't seem scary at all; she's not as scary as the female ghosts outside.

"Don't cry, don't cry. It's normal to lose teeth when you're a baby. They'll grow back," Liu Chang quickly comforted him.

Renbao stopped sobbing and looked at him expectantly: "Really?"

Liu Chang nodded: "Yes, but you should eat less maltose. Eating too much will cause worms to grow in your mouth and will make your teeth black!"

Good heavens! Renbao was shocked and frightened. She spat out the candy in her mouth and threw it away.

She doesn't want to eat candy anymore!

"Have you made up your mind?"

Just as Zhou Fang and Master Zhou breathed a sigh of relief after the ghost in the wedding dress disappeared, their shoulders suddenly felt heavy.

They both turned around at the same time.

The female ghost in her wedding dress put her arms around one of them and smiled at them.

A pale face, blood-stained tears, feet floating in mid-air, and a bright red wedding dress.

"Help!" Master Zhou was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted, but the female ghost in the wedding dress pinched his face. "Don't faint, stand still."

Master Zhou forced himself to remain composed and said tremblingly, "My lady ghost, I'm too old to marry you."

"It doesn't matter," the ghost in the wedding dress chuckled. "Once I have ninety-nine people, I can reincarnate. I'm just two short, so it'll be you two."

"Son, he wants us dead." Master Zhou clutched Zhou Fang's sleeve, trembling.

Zhou Fang was actually quite flustered, but he remained calm in the manor. He looked at the motionless carriage and remembered what Renbao had said.

That little baby might really have some special abilities, otherwise why wouldn't the female ghost be looking for them?

"Young Taoist priest, we were blind just now! Please save us! I'm willing to offer a thousand taels, no, ten thousand taels of silver, please help us!"

Zhou Fang shouted at the carriage.

Master Zhou suddenly realized what was happening, and burst into tears, pleading, "Please, young Taoist priest, come out quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest, who had just woken up, narrowed his eyes and raised his hand: "I'm still capable, let me do it!"

A piece of candy hit his palm, making it hurt terribly.

Snap! His hand fell to his side, and he fainted again.

Renbao leaped out of the carriage: "Ten thousand taels! Here I come!"
