Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

After glancing at the intricate pattern of red lines, Xia Wange looked again at the nail in the very center.

Xia Wange quietly asked, "Zhou Xingwang, are you my biological son?"

The red thread forms an array, making all the ashes in these jars into one whole, and then using Zhou Xingwang's birth date and time to form a ghost marriage. Once there are Zhou Xingwang's ashes in this jar, then the ghost marriage can be activated.

However, once the ghost marriage is initiated, the nails in the central array will pin the soul down, preventing it from being reincarnated for all eternity.

Zhou Xingwang gave a wry smile: "If it weren't true, I wouldn't be so upset. Unfortunately, I secretly did a paternity test, and it confirmed that he is my biological son."

Xia Wange crossed the red line to the middle and glanced at the large jar in the very center. Her eyes widened, she gasped, and then stepped back.

It's a ghost baby.

"Your mom has even prepared the baby for you."

Zhou Xingwang revealed a smile that was more pathetic than crying.

Xia Wange summarized the evening's tasks: sever the karmic ties between Zhou Xingwang and Cao Niannian, then persuade Zhou Xingwang's mother to give up her obsession and stop arranging a ghost marriage for her son. If that didn't work, she would steal Zhou Xingwang's ashes, with the worst-case scenario being flushing them down the toilet and the best-case scenario being scattering them into the sea.

However, it seems we have to steal it; his mother has even prepared a ghost baby.

but……

"Zhou Xingwang, can you sense which jar contains your ashes?" Xia Wange asked.

Moving the wrong urn can easily incur other people's karma, and what they fear most in this line of work is getting too much karmic burden.

Secondly, so many jars are too heavy to move. If they were destroyed on the spot, given his mother's obsession, she might just mix them with the soil and then hold a ghost marriage.

It was daytime, and Zhou Xingwang didn't dare stray too far from the paper figure possessed by Xia Wan, nor did he dare get too close to the formation. He simply floated around the urn. "I can't feel anything. I can only sense that my ashes are here, but I can't tell which one is mine."

Xia Wange nodded. It was understandable that they couldn't sense it, since the formation had surrounded them as a whole.

She wandered around the yard and said to Zhou Xingwang with some regret, "Your wish to flush this down the toilet is probably not going to come true."

Cao Niannian and Zhou Xingwang both looked at her.

Xia Wange pointed to the outhouse in the corner, "This is a dry toilet, and it doesn't seem to have running water. It uses well water, and there's no sewer system or anything. They just pour sewage directly onto the ground."

Zhou Xingwang hung his head completely, his face full of dejection.

He felt that his mother must have done it on purpose.

"Someone's coming, let's hide." After Xia Wange finished speaking, she pulled Cao Niannian to a pile of wood in the corner, and casually stuck a talisman on it to hide their presence. Then she tilted her head slightly and looked out through the gap between the wood.

Zhou Xingwang also managed to slip into the paper figure even faster than them, not for any other reason than he sensed that the person who came was his mother!

"Run faster than others, eat more than others, do better than others in exams, get first place! Get first place! Get first place!" A woman with bloodshot eyes, gray hair, and a face as thin as a skeleton walked into the courtyard while carrying a set of school uniforms.

Her eyes were empty and lifeless, her steps were unsteady, and she would stagger every now and then, wandering around the yard as if she were mentally unstable.

A moment later, she held up her school uniform, her face contorted with rage. "Why didn't you do well on the test? Did you not study hard enough? Everyone else did well, why couldn't you get first or second place? What's the use of second place? Heh, you must have been secretly playing games, right? You watched TV, didn't you? No? If you didn't, why didn't you do well? Are you dumber than others?! You must not have worked hard enough. You have to get first place! You have to get first place!"

After saying that, the woman's empty gaze focused on another set of clothes hanging in the yard. She ran over laughing and gently stroked it. "My son, you finally got into university! Hahaha! Going away to study? Going away isn't good. You need to be closer to your mother. Hmm, good boy, you've always been the most obedient. You still want to live at school? Tell me! Why do you want to live at school?! Is it because some woman is seducing you! Bitch, bitch, bitch! They're all bitches! My son, they're trying to steal you away from me!"

After saying that, the woman hugged her clothes and started pacing back and forth again. "Carry on the family line, carry on the family line. You're twenty-six and still not married. People will say I haven't raised you well. You should get married, you know? Get married and have children. Mom is already prepared to take care of your children. Only then will your life be complete, you understand?"

At this point, her expression became ferocious and terrifying. "Why did you commit suicide?! Why did you have to die?! Wasn't I good enough to you? Xingwang, Xingwang, come back quickly! You're not married yet, you haven't had children yet, you're not complete..."

Then she stumbled and fell, and saw the school uniform again. She crawled over, hugged the uniform, and began repeating what she had said before.

The paper figure in the singer's room trembled violently. Cao Niannian covered her mouth, terrified. She felt that this woman was a million times more terrifying than a ghost. She suddenly felt sorry for Zhou Xingwang.

Not long after, a woman wearing a long gown walked in. "Xingwang's mom, Xingwang's mom."

Xingwang's mother's empty eyes began to focus upon hearing the voice. She rushed forward and grabbed the other person's sleeve, "Mother Ma, is it done? Is my son's ghost marriage successful? Can we arrange for this child to be placed in the bride's womb?"

Hearing this, Cao Niannian was stunned and immediately felt that she was more pitiful.

"Oh dear, it didn't work out." Ma Xiangu waved her hand. "Yesterday at midnight, your son was supposed to be taken over for the wedding ceremony, but it was ruined. That expert was extremely skilled and directly caused a backlash that knocked me unconscious before I recovered."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingwang kept glancing at Xia Wange. He knew this fortune teller's abilities; she was incredibly skilled, and her appearance fee was always high. Everyone said she was amazing. He never expected that such a powerful person would be knocked unconscious by someone.

He clearly remembered that Master Xia had simply poked out the paper figure's eyes with a light touch, as if he hadn't exerted any effort at all...

Thinking of this, Zhou Xingwang manipulated the paper figure to slide down, clinging tightly to Xia Wange's trouser leg. He was determined to hold onto this powerful figure!

Xia Wange swung her leg, but couldn't shake it off...

"It didn't work out? How could it not work out? I bought that girl's birth date and time; her parents agreed. How could it not work out?"

Ma Xiangu sighed, "I only agreed to help you because you said you'd take full responsibility for this, and now look what's happened..."

"It was an arranged marriage, she was born of her parents, everything she has belongs to them. If her parents agreed, she should agree! Why didn't it happen? Why didn't it happen!"
