"Who are you, and why should I tell you anything?" Hmph, everyone thinks I'm crazy. Why should I help you? This Yin-Yang Connection Powder is related to Siyuan's future. She is willing to help you, but I refuse to assist a thankless wolf.
"My name is Qiao Ziyuan, the one hundred thirty-eighth generation ghost catcher of the Qiao Family."
"You are Qiao Lianjiu's mother." She looks way too young for that. I must be quite thick-headed. In our school, we exorcise Wraiths, and since it's a woman, who else could it be but Mama Qiao?
"It's not surprising that you know Lianjiu. After all, he is a Campus Celebrity."
Hey, hey, hey, Mama Qiao, you're a mage, okay? Don't be so narcissistic!
Mama Qiao continued, "However, he shouldn't easily talk about me. How did you find out?"
"Do you want to know?"
"Since I asked, of course I want to know."
"Then promise me one thing, and I'll tell you." With Siyuan's future mother-in-law standing right in front of me, if I don't negotiate now, when will I?
"You say." She was quite straightforward and seemed very interested in my identity.
"Give me the power over your son's marriage. Don't misunderstand; I'm not saying he should marry me. What I mean is that I will decide his marriage."
"You have a disabled sister?" For my rude request, she didn't seem angry at all, which was quite surprising. Truly beautiful and gentle; it's a bit unfair of God.
"No, I'm an only child."
"You have a foolish best friend."
Mama Qiao, can you be a little less trendy? Can you speak more mainstream?
I shook my head and said in one breath, "All my friends have normal IQs and values. Although not all of them are top students, they are all beautiful."
"That's true, but to enter our Qiao Family's door, there is a necessary condition."
"Mage! Help! Mage! Stop chatting about family matters!" A parent shouted from the other side.
We both turned to look at them and, in perfect harmony, said in unison, "Wait a moment."
"Quickly tell me, what are the conditions?" I urged, as if I could see the light of hope shining down.
"After all, we, the Qiao Family, are a Ghost-catching Family. Our future daughter-in-law must be able to catch ghosts; it's a necessity."
"Don't worry about that. She has caught several already."
"Oh, I wonder which expert family she comes from."
"Auntie, you have too many questions. Let's get back on topic. If you let me take charge of your son's marriage, I'll tell you who I am. You can ask other questions too; I'm open to anything except for my measurements."
"Hahaha, this little girl is quite interesting. Alright, I agree. I also want to find a daughter-in-law quickly. So, tell me who you are."
"Master! Master! Help! Murder! There's been a murder!" The parents were thrown into chaos. Wan'er's mother suddenly pulled out a knife and started chasing her husband, trying to stab him.
Qiao Ziyuan sighed and emphasized, "Little girl, let's have a good talk later." With that, she swiftly turned and ran over to Wan'er's mother. She slapped a talisman directly onto her forehead, causing a ghost to be expelled from Wan'er's mother's body.
I focused closely and was shocked to see it was Wan'er herself. Why was she possessing her own mother?
Unexpectedly, as soon as she was expelled, I noticed that all the other ghosts had vanished as well. Among the parents, one would start to have bloodshot eyes and recklessly chase after their wife or husband to hit them.
What was happening?
They were all possessed!
Rice handed me a yellow talisman. I quickly bit my finger and wrote "Head Back in Place," then had him stick it on Siyuan's forehead. My mind began to ponder why these ghosts were possessing their own parents.
Even if a few ghosts had conflicts with their parents occasionally, it couldn't be that all of them did, could it?
"Little girl, come help!" Qiao Ziyuan called out while applying talismans.
I hurried over as she handed me a stack of talismans. "Go on, stick one on each person's forehead."
Alright, seeing that there were too many people, I decided to lend a hand. However, my speed was quite slow; she had already posted five while I had only managed one, and some parents were even trying to escape.
At that moment, Chen Siyuan came running over, completely unharmed. Qiao Ziyuan looked at her in surprise and exclaimed, "How did you recover so quickly? Has my power diminished?"
"Your power was never that impressive to begin with," I replied with a laugh.
Qiao Ziyuan, annoyed, slapped a talisman on my forehead. Of course, it was useless; I wasn't a ghost.
In the end, with Siyuan's help, we successfully placed yellow talismans on all the parents' foreheads. Qiao Ziyuan flicked her long robe and sat down on the ground. "It seems there's really no way to exorcise them; these Wraiths appear to be controlled."
"Auntie, how can someone who claims to be a descendant of the Ghost-catching Family not handle such a small matter?" I teased, looking at the parents sitting obediently on the ground, resembling elementary school students.
"Those children have strong attachments and don't want to leave. Wraiths like this are the hardest to exorcise. Plus, being controlled makes it even more difficult. Exorcising thirteen at once is quite taxing. That's why I'm eager to find a better successor; unfortunately, my son is male."
"Weren't you going to ask what I am? I don't know if you've heard of the Supreme Spirit Tool."
Qiao Ziyuan's eyes lit up instantly, radiating a saintly glow. "You have the Supreme Spirit Tool?"
"I am the Supreme Spirit Tool." This time, saying those four words felt oddly prideful—what was happening to me?
Qiao Ziyuan looked at me skeptically and then glanced at Chen Siyuan. In an instant, she transformed from a goddess into a tough woman and scoffed, "If this female ghost has the Supreme Spirit Tool by her side and is still this weak, is she foolish?"
Siyuan's expression changed in anger. I quickly grabbed her hand; indeed, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships were complicated—this was just the beginning and they were already about to argue.
"She's not foolish; she cares for me and doesn't want to absorb my energy." That sounded a bit strange.
Sure enough, Qiao Ziyuan boldly said, "Are you two lesbians?"
"Auntie, you should really close your mind on that topic. I'm female and attracted to males; I'm neither gay nor bisexual. The same goes for her. Her name is Chen Siyuan; she's my best friend and roommate who unfortunately passed away recently. However, her mother became a vegetable in the hospital with no one to care for her, which is why she wants to stay in this world to look after her mother."
"She's a good child; much more filial than my son. But since you've already died, you should go where you belong. Your lifespan has ended; staying in this world won't do you any good. Your mother would understand," Qiao Ziyuan said as she patted Chen Siyuan's shoulder.
Suddenly, Chen Siyuan knelt before her and pleaded, "Aunt Qiao, please help me."
Qiao Ziyuan was startled and immediately took two steps back. "What are you doing kneeling to the heavens and your parents? We have no ties; get up quickly."
"Auntie, some bonds can be easily formed." Seeing that she wasn't as difficult to talk to as I had imagined, I became bolder and winked at her.
Qiao Ziyuan was also clever and quickly understood my meaning. "My son can only marry a human; don't think you can trick me."
"The Qiao Family has been a renowned Ghost-catching Family since ancient times, yet their one hundred thirty-eighth generation heir seems to enjoy going back on his word. No wonder even a few Wraiths can't be exorcised."
"Little girl, don't speak carelessly. There are more than a dozen of them, not just a few! And they are all unmarried Transmigrators. If you have the ability, go ahead!"
"I'm neither a Ghost Hunter nor a mage. If I could exorcise Wraiths, wouldn't that take food out of your mouth? I wouldn't do such an immoral thing. Auntie, we agreed that I would decide your son's marriage. If you go back on your word, you'll be struck by lightning!"
"You didn't say you were going to introduce a female ghost to my son, and how do we know she can catch ghosts? What evidence do you have?"
"That's exactly what I was waiting for." I took out the Yin-Yang Connection Powder. "This is made from the souls of five ghosts and some Rare Herbs that you don't need to know about. After a ghost consumes it, it can connect the realms of yin and yang."
"Setting aside whether this thing is real or not, even if it is made from ghostly souls, who knows if those ghosts were caught by Chen Siyuan?" Qiao Ziyuan touched his sword. "Catching ghosts isn't as easy as you think."
