I slowed my movements, picking up the spoon to prepare for a sip of soup.
At the moment I lifted the spoon, I quickly sprinkled the salt hidden in my palm into my rice bowl.
The online commenters were right.
The Painted-Skin Ghost wouldn’t attack me in public.
I just needed to sprinkle salt into the food while she wasn’t paying attention.
Fortunately, the blind spot of this spoon was quite large.
Even with my mother sitting directly across from me, she didn’t notice my little maneuver.
I slowly brought the salted food to my mouth.
Then I swallowed.
At the same time, I noticed my mother’s expression gradually darkening.
It seemed I wasn’t mistaken.
This food was indeed part of the Ghost Feast!
Luckily, I had discovered it early.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
At that moment, my anxious heart finally settled down.
But my mother wore a face full of disappointment.
However, that didn’t matter anymore.
After all, I had successfully avoided a disaster!
Yet, I celebrated too soon.
Because after seeing me eat the food, the smile on my mother’s lips grew even brighter.
But her gaze became increasingly cold.
This is clearly a Painted-Skin Ghost!
At this moment, I finally confirmed—
The person in front of me is definitely not my real mother!
Instead, it is a Painted-Skin Ghost!
I quickly finished the food in my bowl and reopened my phone.
At that moment, Daoist Master Wu Xie sent me another message—
“Qian Qian, are you okay?”
I replied to Daoist Master Wu Xie, “Daoist, I’ve already broken the Ghost Feast.”
“What should I do next?”
Soon, Daoist Master Wu Xie responded—
“Qian Qian, although you have successfully avoided a disaster, you cannot let your guard down.”
“Because tonight is the night of the full moon.”
“It’s the day when the Painted-Skin Ghost peels skin.”
“So, you’d better leave home quickly.”
“Stay in a crowded place for the whole night.”
“Once dawn breaks tomorrow, you’ll be safe.”
“Remember, where there are many people, the yang energy is strong; ghosts fear humans.”
“The Painted-Skin Ghost shouldn’t act against you in public.”
After reading Daoist Master Wu Xie’s reply, I couldn’t help but gasp.
It turns out that things are not over yet.
I need to think of a way to escape quickly!
At that moment, the comments section was buzzing with excitement—
“Holy crap!”
“Is it the night of the full moon?”
“What a coincidence!”
“Qian Qian, you better run!”
“Otherwise, you’re done for!”
“Qian Qian, don’t you know martial arts?”
“Just beat Painted-Skin Ghost away!”
“Qian Qian, don’t be scared.”
“We’re all supporting you!”
“Qian Qian, you have to hold on!”
I frowned.
Even though Daoist Master Wu Xie said that, how could I trust him based on just a few words?
That would be too naive, wouldn’t it?
Just then, someone commented: “Qian Qian, don’t believe this so-called Daoist Master Wu Xie.”
“What era are we in? Still believing in feudal superstitions?”
“If you ask me, you’re overthinking it.”
“Look, your mom is just fine, isn’t she?”
“There’s no such thing as Painted-Skin Ghost.”
“Qian Qian, don’t scare yourself.”
“Just stay at home.”
The netizens had a point.
After all, I had only met Daoist Master Wu Xie a few times.
What if he really had ulterior motives?
Just as I was lost in thought, someone sent a message: “Qian Qian, you should listen to Daoist Master Wu Xie.”
“Better to believe he might be right than to dismiss him completely.”
“What if you really encounter Painted-Skin Ghost?”
“What will you do then?”
Looking at that message, an idea struck me.
Yes.
I could seek refuge in a crowded place!
A new Hai Di Lao restaurant had opened in the city center.
I heard it was open twenty-four hours.
And it was always busy.
No matter when you went, there were always many people.
It perfectly matched the conditions Daoist Master Wu Xie mentioned.
As for whether Daoist Master Wu Xie would deceive me?
That didn’t matter.
