Chapter 186: Evil Omen

The Wei couple had yet to lose their mind. All they wanted to do now was to fulfill their daughter’s dying wish, which was to be moved out of the Zheng family’s grave.

That should not be difficult by threatening Zheng Lusheng with the family business and the pressure coming from the rumors the neighbors spread.

However, they could not bear the grievance.

Xie Qiao shook her head. “No. Zheng Lusheng has the face of a criminal. Just wait patiently. The heavens would never take care of an unethical person.”

Although the couple was rather doubtful, they felt anticipation when they heard that.

Zheng Lusheng asked to see his parents-in-law as soon as he returned. He admitted his fault in public, saying that he should not have kept a secret relationship. However, he guaranteed that nothing had happened between him and He Xiu in the past.

He even brought up Young Lady Wei, who had passed away. He said that it was him and Young Lady Wei who had bought the house for He Xiu.

As Zheng Lusheng’s reputation was pretty good, many neighbors believed in him.

However, the Wei parents thought their son-in-law was scared to be lying.

Xie Qiao spoke, noticing that the Wei parents looked terrible from the anger. “Young Master Zheng, the spirits are watching whatever you do. Do you feel chilly these few days, to the point you won’t feel warm no matter how many clothes you put on you?”

Zheng Lusheng’s eyelids twitched, and his body tensed. “Where did this swindler come from!? What nonsense did you tell my parents-in-law?”

Xie Qiao smiled lightly.

“Young Master Zheng, your glabella is dark. A catastrophe is coming. If you don’t believe me…Try standing up?”

Zheng Lusheng thought it was ridiculous.

She was asking him to stand up!?

What could she do? Could it be that Ms. Wei’s grieving soul would come to ask for her life back!?

Zheng Lusheng was currently kneeling before the Wei parents. He wanted to stand up upon hearing what Xie Qiao said.

However, he suddenly felt his body getting heavier.

It felt like there was a rock that weighed 1,000 catty on his body. He could not move his legs!

He was covered in a cold sweat.

At that moment, the neighbors were shocked to see that.

Xie Qiao lifted her head to look at the weather around. It was chilly. There was a faint evil omen over the Zheng Residence in the far south.

She looked at the Phoenix’s position, which was in the south. It had the fire element, a sign of disaster.

Xie Qiao frowned slightly. She was rather confused.

The evil energy at the Zheng Residence was scarier than she expected. What had Zheng Lusheng done in secret!?

Someone in the crowd mumbled while looking at the south, “Is there fire in the south?”

Everyone looked over upon hearing that.

As expected, smoke was rumbling, dying the sun red.

There were fire stations in the Imperial City, and they should be on the move now. The second the fire broke out, Xie Qiao saw the fate of defeat on Zheng Lusheng’s face.

He had lost his luck, and his face was occupied with evil energy. It was ferocious.

The fire in the south must be related to the Zheng family. Otherwise, it would not happen out of nowhere.

Someone exclaimed after sniffing a strange smell, “I-Isn’t that the Zheng family’s wax shop!?”

The Zheng family’s wax shop was not too far from here.

Zheng Lusheng turned his head to look, and his face turned pale immediately after estimating where the fire came from. He tried his best to get up, but his body seemed to be pressed down with a rock. He just could not move!

‘What’s happening!?”

‘Oh no! There can’t be a fire. If everything is burned, my life will be doomed!’

Xie Qiao saw Ms. Lu’s ghoul was pressing on Zheng Lusheng’s body with all of her might, stopping him from moving.

The evil energy was heavy, so her strength was elevated. That was how she managed to do that. However, an ordinary spirit was not that powerful. She would not last too long doing that.

As expected, Zheng Lusheng suddenly fell backward after struggling for a moment. He could move now.

The female spirit’s face was pale, and she looked rather weak.

Xie Qiao brought a talisman over and temporarily stored the female spirit there. She needed to rest. After settling this matter, Xie Qiao would reincarnate her when the time was right.
