Li Qiao’s words cut like a knife.
She grew restless and uneasy—every single word Li Qiao had spoken matched up perfectly.
“Master… you have to save us, get rid of her! Vengeful spirits are nothing but harmful.” Li Chunxiang was now terrified.
But all she got in return was Li Qiao’s cold, mocking tone: “Now you’re scared? When your son was doing all those things, why didn’t you stop him?”
“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Hmph!”
Tang Liusu chimed in, “Qiaoqiao, Aunt Li is an elder from my village. You have to help her get rid of this evil spirit.”
“That’s right, that’s right, Master. As long as you’re willing to help us, we’ll do whatever you ask.” Li Chunxiang stared at Li Qiao with hopeful eyes, waiting for her answer.
“In this whole mess, your son is the biggest problem. He has to kneel in the mourning hall for a full day and night, without dozing off even once. Can he do that?”
“Yes, absolutely. I guarantee it.”
For the sake of safety, Li Chunxiang called Wang Qiang over and made him kneel down immediately, though he did so reluctantly.
Li Chunxiang asked eagerly, “Master, is that all we need to do?”
“In your dreams.”
Li Chunxiang’s smile froze.
Was this master really reliable?
She couldn’t help but doubt it!
Li Qiao lit a white candle. “The candle must not go out. Remember that.” After giving her instructions, she turned and left with Tang Liusu.
“Qiaoqiao, will it work?”
“I don’t know. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens tonight.”
That night, Wang Qiang knelt in the living room. Staring at the burning candle, he felt nothing but contempt.
What a load of mystical nonsense!
His legs were killing him, so he stood up and brushed off his knees.
“Pfft. What a load of crap.”
“Stupid boy, get back on your knees!” Li Chunxiang walked in and slapped him on the back. Wang Qiang dodged and scrambled around. “Mom… I don’t believe in this stuff. They’re just trying to scam us for money.”
“You have no idea how serious this is! You shouldn’t have taken her life in the first place… I get that you were thinking with the wrong head, but why did you have to kill her?”
“How is that my fault? I wanted to sleep with her, and she fought back. If she hadn’t resisted, I wouldn’t have accidentally killed her, would I? It’s all because that bitch wouldn’t stay still. If she’d just lay there and let me have my way, we wouldn’t be in all this mess now.”
The more Wang Qiang thought about it, the angrier he became.
Li Chunxiang was furious at his words, but he was her only son—her precious treasure!
When she saw Wang Qiang push open the coffin lid again, this time she didn’t stop him. The girl was already dead—what harm could it do if her son had a little fun with the corpse?
That little vixen, that troublemaker—she should never have taken her in back then!
In the living room—
Li Qiao and Tang Liusu watched the whole scene unfold before them. Tang Liusu was the most shocked of all. Wang Qiang and Li Chunxiang were simply a pair of mother and son worse than beasts.
They had come wearing invisibility talismans, never expecting to witness something so appalling. It stung Tang Liusu’s eyes to see it!
Li Qiao had long suspected the girl’s death wasn’t simple, but she never imagined that Wang Qiang and his mother—who were worse than pigs and dogs—would actually do something like this again.
Just then, the white candle’s flame began to flicker.
The white candle went out!
Bam!
Ahhh—
Wang Qiang’s scream rang out.
“My son—”
The wind suddenly picked up, and all the lights and candles in the room went out at once.
From inside the coffin, Wang Qiang’s agonized scream came again. Only then did Li Qiao slowly step forward.
She grabbed Wang Qiang with all her strength and yanked him out!
The lower half of his body was stained with blood. Wang Qiang, writhing in agonizing pain, rolled back and forth on the floor.
With a flick of her finger, Li Qiao immediately shut the coffin lid. She pressed a talisman onto the cover and began chanting under her breath.
Soon, the lights in the room came back on.
Li Qiao glanced down at Wang Qiang on the floor, her brow furrowed in disgust. He had defiled an innocent woman—he deserved to die!
Castrated. He had it coming.
