I watched the barrage of comments, my anxious heart easing slightly. 0
 
Thank goodness. 0
 
Everyone believes in me. 0
 
I took a deep breath and sent a message to Daoist Master Wu Xie: “Master, what happens if you eat the Ghost Feast?” 0
 
Soon, Daoist Master Wu Xie replied— 0
 
“Qian Qian, you must never eat the Ghost Feast!” 0
 
“Those who consume the Ghost Feast will become completely subservient to the Painted-Skin Ghost.” 0
 
“They won’t even resist, even if their skin is being peeled off.” 0
 
“Moreover, once Human Skin merges with the Painted-Skin Ghost, it can sustain its human form for five years.” 0
 
“During these five years, the Painted-Skin Ghost won’t need to change skins.” 0
 
“So, you must find a way to escape!” 0
 
Reading Daoist Master Wu Xie's explanation, I couldn't help but gasp in shock. 0
 
 
Isn't the Painted-Skin Ghost terrifying? 0
 
Fortunately, I discovered it early. 0
 
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable! 0
 
I sent a message to Daoist Master Wu Xie: "Master, is there a way to break this?" 0
 
This time, Daoist Master Wu Xie replied quickly— 0
 
"Qian Qian, the best thing to do right now is to hurry to a crowded place!" 0
 
"The more people there are, the stronger the yang energy; ghosts fear humans." 0
 
"The Painted-Skin Ghost shouldn't act against you in public." 0
 
"Just run!" 0
 
After seeing Daoist Master Wu Xie's reply, I hurried to the door to change my shoes: "Mom, I'm going to the supermarket to buy some snacks and fruits." 0
 
My mom came out of the kitchen: "It's so late, what do you need to go to the supermarket for?" 0
 
"Let's just go tomorrow." 0
 
 
"If you really want a snack, I can go buy some for you." 0
 
With that, my mother walked up to me and gently pushed me, saying, "You should go back inside." 0
 
I took a few steps back and replied, "But Mom, I need to buy some sanitary napkins." 0
 
To my surprise, my mother said, "We still have some at home." 0
 
"Just go get them from your room." 0
 
"If there aren't enough, I'll buy more for you tomorrow." 0
 
At this point, I could no longer find an excuse to go outside. 0
 
Reluctantly, I sat back down on the sofa. 0
 
Just then, Daoist Master Wu Xie sent me another message— 0
 
"Qian Qian, besides not eating the Ghost Feast, there's another way to break the curse." 0
 
"You just need to sprinkle some salt on the food." 0
 
Reading this message made me feel a little relieved. 0
 
 
Everything is set now. 0
 
I have a way to deal with the Painted-Skin Ghost! 0
 
“Baby, it's time to eat.” 0
 
“The food has gotten cold, hurry up and eat.” 0
 
Mom finally called me over for dinner. 0
 
Before that, I made an excuse to go to the bathroom and took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen, secretly grabbing a handful of salt and hiding it in my palm. 0
 
When I returned to the dining table, Mom didn't start eating right away; instead, she quietly watched me. 0
 
Her gaze was deep. 0
 
There was a hint of something chilling in it. 0
 
I felt uneasy under her stare. 0
 
Could it be that this person before me wasn’t my real mom? 0
 
But rather, the Painted-Skin Ghost? 0
 
 
"Baby, why aren't you eating?" 0
 
"Is it that Mom's cooking doesn't suit your taste?" 0
 
Saying this, Mom picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece of meat on my plate. 0
 
I suppressed the fear rising within me and forced myself to remain calm. "No, it's not that." 0
 
"I was just thinking about what TV show to watch later." 0
 
Upon hearing this, Mom finally put down her chopsticks. 0
 
"Baby, hurry and eat." 0
 
"Otherwise, you'll be hungry again later." 0
 
With that, Mom added another piece of meat to my bowl. 0
 
I was taken aback. 0
 
In the past, Mom never used to serve me meat. 0
 
She would always put all the meat in her own bowl and then tear off small pieces to eat. 0
 
 
She didn't like eating fatty meat. 0
 
Yet the "mother" in front of me... 0
 
My heart skipped a beat. 0
 
Perhaps I was just overthinking it. 0
 
This person in front of me was clearly my real mother! 0
 
I had no reason to be so suspicious. 0
 
With that thought, I picked up my chopsticks, ready to eat. 0
 
But just then, I caught a glimpse of the smile curling at the corners of my mother's mouth. 0
 
It was utterly strange. 0
 
I felt a jolt of alarm. 0
 
Oh no! 0
 
This was most likely a Painted-Skin Ghost! 0
