Chapter 101 - Something That He Shouldn’t Have Taken

Initially, Xie Qiao did not bother to explain. However, she was worried that they would drag her down, thinking this bunch of fools knew nothing.

She wasted some effort to tell them.

Those men nodded in a daze.

"So many of you are here. What about His Highness?" Xie Qiao still had the mood to chat casually.

"There are people on duty on His Highness' side," explained Imperial Bodyguard Zhou.

Xie Qiao nodded. "It's great that he has many people with him. The Yang energy is strong.. If there's a charm ghoul close, it might not look for him, seeing that there are so many young, attractive gentlemen like you guys around him. She must be exhausted from having to wait in a queue to get to His Highness."

Imperial Bodyguard Zhou's expression changed after hearing that. He was speechless.

'What did she say?'

He immediately said, "Half-Immortal Xie—"

Xie Qiao spoke as soon as he did, "I'm just saying, don't take it too seriously. His Highness is pretty handsome. It makes sense that everyone likes him, no matter dead or alive."

Imperial Bodyguard Zhou was even more dumbstruck now.

At that moment, Xie Qiao took out a small incense burner. She prayed with nine incense sticks in all seriousness and kowtowed nine times.

The men were unfamiliar with this, and they were worried that they would offend anyone. They followed behind Xie Qiao and knelt in a row to kowtow together.

Xie Qiao got a talisman, tossed it into the air, and pointed at it with her sword. Suddenly, the talisman burned in midair after a bang!

It looked like they were watching a show!

"The fire and clouds in the sky shook heaven and earth. Killing the demons above and slaying the evil below… The lightning dazzles, unstoppable even with the wind. Transform yourself now and come to the king. Hear my command—"

Xie Qiao suddenly yelled.

Her fingertip brushed by the coin-sword. The people felt as if lightning flashed by the sword!

She held the coin-sword and suddenly swung it around.

They could not understand her movements. It seemed the same as the other Taoist masters' exorcisms, but it was a little different.

It was because Xie Qiao was pretty.

She looked like she was dancing when she performed exorcism. She looked extraordinarily cool and otherworldly. Nobody dared to get close to her.

They could not see at all that Xie Qiao was fighting the water ghoul now.

She had a suppression item in her hand, so the water ghoul dared not approach her at all. However, it was raging. It had been dodging and fighting with all its might.

Its black energy was thick, and the cold wind was rumbling.

Xie Qiao performed the Lightning Incantation with the coin-sword in her hand and struck the ghoul a few times. Though effective, it was insignificant.

Xie Qiao suddenly stopped.

"How is it, Half-Immortal Xie? Did you chase it away?" Imperial Bodyguard Zhou asked immediately.

"Imperial Bodyguard Zhou, I don't think you'll marry a wife within these two years." Xie Qiao looked serious.

What was he talking about? If exorcism was so easy, would she ask for so much money?

Was she greedy for money?

It was because this job was worth the price she asked for!

Imperial Bodyguard Zhou looked confused. Xie Qiao asked again, "Did he take something that he shouldn't have? Think carefully, guys. If we can't find that item, I can't expel this ghoul."

"Item? I-I don't think so?" Imperial Bodyguard Zhou thought about it. He really could not think of anything.

"Give it a good thought. Since it's a water ghoul, this item must be found in water. The timeline should be two to three months ago," added Xie Qiao.

Everyone looked at each other.

Someone suddenly screamed, "Yes!"

"Spill!" Imperial Bodyguard Zhou said immediately.

"We went out with His Highness earlier, and they washed in a river in the wild. At that time, Qin Zhi was swimming underwater for a long time. When he got up, he seemed to be holding a piece of jade or stone. It was quite smooth…"

"Where's that item?" asked Xie Qiao.

"It…" That man's expression changed, "Qin Zhi said that thing was pretty smooth like a wolf's fang. He polished it and wore it on his neck."
