It's no wonder people often describe women as "vixen."
This vixen is truly captivating.
Even knowing Xiao Mei is a demon, I could barely withstand it.
Of course, humans and demons, like humans and ghosts, have their taboos.
Nothing improper should ever happen...
Afterward, Xiao Mei and I exchanged a few more words.
Xiao Mei then happily transformed into her true form, a little white fox.
She nuzzled my feet with her little head.
And made "ying ying ying" sounds.
She appeared incredibly cute and spirited.
Meanwhile, I had packed my bags.
Xiao Mei was placed in my tote bag; from the outside, she looked like a fox-faced dog.
If Xiao Mei disguised her bushy tail when we went out, it wouldn't cause much trouble.
Then, carrying a tool bag and a tote bag, I walked out of the inner room.
At the doorway, Wu Lianyong was pacing back and forth.
He looked quite anxious.
Seeing me emerge, he quickly put on a smile:
"Daoist Priest Qin, are we ready to go now?"
"Yes, we are."
I replied calmly.
Wu Lianyong gestured repeatedly:
"Please, please, my car is parked outside. Let's head over now..."
Afterward, I exited the shop, closed the door, and got into Wu Lianyong's car.
At the same time, I sent my location to Old Mo.
Old Mo said he would finish his practice in about half an hour.
He would then come over directly by car.
Our destination wasn't far, only about a half-hour drive, a townhouse complex.
While in the car, I also asked Wu Lianyong to tell me in detail about Wu Lianhua's recent situation.
However, Wu Lianyong only gave a general overview.
He just said that within the past month.
His sister's body began to swell dramatically.
Her appetite increased immensely; no matter how much she ate, she was never full.
She was just hungry.
And strangely, although Wu Lianhua ate a lot, she excreted very little.
In the past few days, black hairs had started to grow all over Wu Lianhua's now obese body.
Not only that, but at night, Wu Lianhua would lose her mind and let out pig grunts, "ang ang ang."
Her family members all said that Wu Lianhua was possessed by a pig demon.
The Wu family was frantic.
They first consulted doctors, but it was of no use.
Wu Lianhua also became scared and remembered what I had told her a week ago.
She truly suspected that some malevolent entity had attached itself to her.
That's why she had Wu Lianyong inquire with Uncle Wang and Auntie Wang, who then found me.
Hoping I would step in and resolve Wu Lianhua's predicament...
As for the matter of the landlady, I had already sensed something was amiss.
If she hadn't been so stingy, I would have exorcised the malevolent entity for her a week ago.
Now that it had worsened, she remembered my words.
It was her own doing.
Exorcising her would be no problem; it was my profession, and it would also help me add to my lamp oil and increase my merit.
However, I would have to charge her handsomely for the fee.
Thinking this, I soon arrived at the garage.
Wu Lianyong parked the car, and we took the elevator directly to the living room.
As soon as we exited the elevator, I heard a gruff female voice shouting from the second floor:
"Mom, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I want to eat, I want to eat..."
"Lianhua! You've already eaten three catties of rice this morning. Stop eating."
An old woman's voice, tinged with tears, also sounded.
I remained silent, while Wu Lianyong beside me said:
"Daoist Priest Qin, it's been like this lately."
After speaking, he led me forward.
Taking just a couple of steps, I caught a whiff of feces and urine.
"Mom, I've invited Daoist Priest Qin."
Wu Lianyong called out into the house.
Soon, an old woman emerged from the kitchen.
Around sixty years old, her hair was streaked with white.
"Mom, this is Daoist Priest Qin."
"Daoist Priest Qin, this is my mom."
Wu Lianyong introduced.
I nodded slightly.
However, Mom Wu raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing me, didn't greet me.
She pulled Wu Lianyong aside and said, with her back to me:
"Lianyong! Did you find the wrong person? Why is this Daoist Priest Qin so young?"
She spoke very softly, but my hearing was excellent, and I heard her clearly.
She clearly felt I was unreliable, but I didn't take it to heart.
After all, in most people's perception, Daoist priests should be those with an ethereal air, already in their seventies or eighties.
They think that a young person like me, even if studying the Dao, might not possess much true ability.
This is merely their perception, and there's no need to concern myself with it.
Wu Lianyong, upon hearing this, directly interrupted:
"Mom! What do you know?
I've inquired. Daoist Priest Qin is very powerful!
As soon as he takes action, my sister's problem will surely be resolved."
"Really?"
Mom Wu was skeptical.
She whispered something else to Wu Lianyong.
I simply stood there, not paying much attention.
I scanned the room; the house was clean, except for a foul odor.
Other than that, there was nothing else unusual.
After a while, Wu Lianyong and Mom Wu walked over.
Smiling, he said to me:
"Apologies, Daoist Priest Qin, for keeping you waiting. My mother doesn't know of your abilities, please don't mind."
Mom Wu also smiled cheerfully:
"Young Daoist priest, you've had a tiring journey. Shall I pour you some water?"
I waved my hand:
"No need. Please take me to see the patient first! It's important business."
"Yes, yes, important business. Daoist Priest Qin, this way..."
Wu Lianyong quickly said, gesturing for me to go upstairs.
Without further ado, I followed the stairs and went up to the second floor.
Arriving at the room where Wu Lianhua was staying...
