Hearing this, I almost burst out laughing.
For the sake of your sister, who used to be my landlady?
During my tenancy, your sister Wu Lianhua, this landlady, was no easy person.
She was never kind to me, her tenant.
Most detestable of all, when I moved out a week ago, she deliberately found a pile of excuses and withheld two thousand yuan of my security deposit.
On WeChat, she outwardly returned thirty yuan to me, but in reality, after I left, she didn't return a single cent.
Such a landlady, with such stingy behavior, expects me to save her?
Heh!
I sneered inwardly.
However, as a Bai Pai Taoist, expelling demons and ghosts is also my duty.
Since they've come knocking, I can't just refuse to help.
Otherwise, it would go against my master's dying wish.
And his teachings during his lifetime.
But, if they want me to act, there's a condition.
One thing is one thing.
I can go and save her, but my labor fee…
Thinking this, I nodded slightly.
Then, maintaining a calm exterior, I continued speaking:
"Mr. Wu, I can go and look into Sister Wu's situation.
However, No. 81's appearance fee is not cheap, five thousand yuan per session.
And further settlement will be based on the size and difficulty of the case."
Didn't Wu Lianhua find excuses and unreasonably withhold two thousand yuan from me?
Now, if I'm to save her, I'll also find an excuse and get compensated doubly first.
These Wu family members, early on, did some small businesses and made quite a bit of money as a family.
They bought some old houses to rent out.
Five thousand yuan, in reality, is not much for them.
But they are all penny-pinchers.
Upon hearing five thousand, Wu Lianyong's face showed surprise:
"Ah? The appearance fee is five, five thousand?"
"Mr. Wu, you've clearly explained Sister Wu's situation just now.
This is not a simple matter.
If Sister Wu continues to eat like this, even if she doesn't die from overeating, she will die from obesity.
Five thousand is even a discounted price for Sister Wu.
If it weren't for Sister Wu being my former landlady, I wouldn't be willing to act!"
Before Wu Lianyong came, he had heard the news from Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang.
He knew I was a Taoist with real skills.
Although he was stingy, he didn't want to watch his sister die.
Finally, gritting his teeth:
"Alright, five thousand it is."
Wu Lianyong looked very pained.
I didn't stand on ceremony and directly took out my payment QR code.
Scan the code first, then look at the case.
Wu Lianyong paid with evident reluctance.
Seeing that he had paid, a smile curved my lips:
"Mr. Wu, please wait a moment. I'll pack up and get some things, then I'll go with you."
"Okay, okay, Daoist Qin, I'll wait for you!"
Wu Lianyong said very politely.
Although he was pained by paying, he had no choice as he was asking for my help.
Afterward, I moved the paper figures and wreaths from the doorway back into the shop.
Then, I took my phone and went straight into the inner room.
However, on my phone, Old Mo had sent me seven or eight messages.
They were all asking what I was doing, why I hadn't started yet, and so on.
Only then did I pick up my phone and say to him:
"I have a guest who just arrived. I'll be going out to look at a case shortly."
After receiving my message, Old Mo quickly replied:
"Looking at a case? Great! Where is it?
Give me the address, I'll come over after I finish practicing driving…"
Old Mo was extremely interested in this kind of thing.
He had been practicing driving these past few days and was already itching for action.
Now that he heard I was going to look at a case, he naturally became excited.
I didn't refuse.
I just replied to Old Mo, saying I'd send him the location later.
Putting down my phone, I began to organize the necessary items.
Bringing the corresponding talismans and so on.
But at this moment, Xiao Mei suddenly darted in from outside.
Seeing me packing, she transformed.
Instantly, she took on the appearance of a young girl.
Tall and slender, with fair skin.
Especially Xiao Mei's well-defined eyebrows; any man who saw them would have their heart skip a beat.
Then, I heard Xiao Mei ask me:
"Qin Ze, are you going out?"
"Yes, going out to look at a case. I'll be back by tonight at the earliest."
I responded in a deep voice.
Xiao Mei, upon hearing this, pouted and said:
"I'll go with you too.
I've been so bored staying here all these days.
Pretty please?"
Seeing Xiao Mei also clamoring to go along, with a delicate and charming expression.
She directly hooked her arm around mine.
And even rubbed against it.
This was too seductive.
It's a good thing Xiao Mei is a person, but she's a demon, a fox demon.
Her actions gave me goosebumps.
I quickly pulled my arm away.
And calmed myself down.
Xiao Mei, pouting with a seductive look, said:
"Little Ze Ze, pretty please!"
After saying that, she provocatively bent over.
A glance revealed a vast expanse of fairness, truly heart-stopping.
I don't know if this was natural or something Xiao Mei learned herself. She truly knows how to seduce.
I forcibly steadied myself and swallowed:
"Stop, stop. You can come.
But you must not appear in human form; you have to transform into your true form."
After all, it makes no difference whether one person or three people go.
After all, Hu San Tai Nai entrusted Xiao Mei to me to let her experience the human world.
It's just that her human form is too attention-grabbing.
Upon hearing my agreement, Xiao Mei's face lit up with surprise.
Opening her arms, she directly hugged my neck:
"Qin Ze, you're so good!"
After speaking, she kissed me on the cheek.
I was completely stunned.
Where did this little fox learn this from?
I pushed her away:
"Alright, alright. Men and women should maintain proper distance. Don't do this in the future."
The little fox tilted her head in confusion:
"I saw on TV that some humans do this?"
I rolled my eyes.
Damn it, so she'd been watching inappropriate television.
It seems from now on, I'll have to let Xiao Mei watch children's channels…
