Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 68 - : The Ancestors and the Little Ghost Are Hungry

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: The Ancestors and the Little Ghost Are Hungry

Xia Xin hurriedly took Jiangli to the room where the old Taoist used to live.

Although the old Taoist had just passed away not long ago, they didn’t have these taboos, nor were they afraid of these things.

Xia Xin directly entered the room, planning to tidy it up.

Just as Jiangli was about to follow in, she caught a glimpse of a small figure peeking out from the door of the opposite room in the corner of her eye.

When Jiangli turned her head, the shadow quickly disappeared at the doorway.

Jiangli raised her eyebrows and called out loudly, “Come out here.”

...

Hearing Jiangli’s voice, the little thing tentatively appeared at the doorway.

That thing was none other than the little ghost Shuaishuai.

He had been placed in Xia Xin’s meditation room and had been behaving himself, not coming out all this time.

He could sense that the Taoist Temple gave him a bad feeling, making him somewhat scared, so he didn’t dare to come out recklessly.

Only when he heard some noise did he come out to take a look.

He didn’t expect it to be that very scary, very scary sister, which frightened him so much that he immediately hid.

Yet he still got discovered by that very scary, very scary sister.

Shuaishuai stood at the doorway, looking at Jiangli with a bit of fear, as if Jiangli were truly a monster that ate children.

“Come here,” Jiangli said, seeing his fear, and waved him over.

Shuaishuai zoomed into the door, only poking out his little head, warily watching Jiangli.

Jiangli narrowed her eyes, “If you don’t come here, believe it or not, I’ll really eat you!”

“You… you’re a bad person…” Shuaishuai retorted, his mouth turning downward as if he were about to cry.

Jiangli laughed in exasperation, “If I were a bad person, you little thing would have been frightened out of your wits long ago. Would you still have the chance to stand here? Hurry up and come here!”

Perhaps it was Jiangli’s daunting presence that scared Shuaishuai, causing his neck to shrink back, but after a moment, he still came over reluctantly, dragging his feet.

Jiangli looked at him and asked, “What were you standing at the doorway looking at just now?”

Upon hearing this, Shuaishuai glanced behind her towards the room.

Jiangli followed his gaze and turned around to see Xia Xin was busy inside. She raised an eyebrow, “Are you looking for him?”

“Mhm…” Shuaishuai nodded slowly, his gaze still filled with fear as he looked at Jiangli. He thought this sister was really scary and preferred Xia Xin, the brother.

He felt that the brother was a good person.

Jiangli directly asked, “What do you want from him?”

“I… I’m hungry…” Shuaishuai mumbled, touching his little stomach, looking pitiful.

Jiangli paused, not wanting to admit it, but upon hearing him, she also felt hungry.

Since they came back, Xia Xin had only taken her out for a bite, and she was already hungry by now.

She touched her own stomach and shouted into the room, “Xia Xin—”

“I’m coming!”

Upon hearing the noise, Xia Xin immediately ran out, saw Jiangli and the little ghost both standing at the doorway, got startled, and quickly stopped himself, “Great Ancestor, what’s the matter?”

“He’s hungry,” Jiangli pointed at Shuaishuai, then pointed at herself, “I’m hungry too.”

Xia Xin immediately replied, “Then I’ll cook. We bought a lot of ingredients earlier, right? My cooking is not bad; Great Ancestor, I’ll make you some food!”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed and looked at Shuaishuai somewhat uncomfortably, “But him… should he be eating incense sticks?”

Can ghosts eat food?

Jiangli said, “Don’t worry about that; just go and cook.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Xin didn’t give it another thought and agreed, “Then I’ll go now.”

Jiangli nodded, and as she saw Xia Xin dash off towards the back yard, she glanced at the little ghost, “Let’s go watch.”

Shuaishuai, who was bored stiff, nodded eagerly upon hearing her and followed beside Jiangli, finally showing a bit of a child’s demeanor, not as scared as before.
