Otherworldly Merchant

Chapter 169: Pentakill Widow



Chapter 169: Pentakill Widow

Chuyi didnt have a method to help the resentful soul in the bronze mirror. In the end, he had to bring it to Zen Master Baimei in hopes that he could use his Buddhist method in Dabei Temple to free Yang Guifeis soul.

After we subdued the bronze mirror, the dark hand behind the curtain seemed to have given up on creating the Parasitic Ghost King. The Song twins gradually recovered.

Ms. Song gave me three million renminbi for the commission. She told me I deserved the amount. If it werent for me, her sister would still date men and be lazy. She might have gotten into more trouble if it werent for these events.

I sighed. According to the old customs, it was said that a woman better marry a good man or have something she was really good at. If she only used her appearance to compete for things, then she was like a flower that would soon wither away.

Chuyi visited Chu Chu, who had been really weak lately.

Do you have any clues about the Night Dragon Bait? I asked Chuyi.

When I get any clues, I will tell you guys immediately.

How long does Chu Chu have? Li Mazi asked Chuyi.

Chuyi looked pensive for quite a long time. Eventually, he said, Lets ask Senior Shu. Hes a wise man with vast knowledge. Perhaps he has a solution.

Senior Shu, the person Chuyi had mentioned, was the old man who was involved in the Golden Perianths case.

Chuyi called Senior Shu. When Li Mazi saw the old man, he was surprised. He didnt think that the despicable old man would appear here.

Senior Shu ignored us and lifted Chu Chus eyelid to check her eye. Then, he laughed. Its the Thai mind control! Tch tch, you have many enemies.

Li Mazi fumed and said, We asked you here to check the patient, not to mock us.

Senior Shu immediately waved his hand and grinned. I checked. Its really serious and basically incurable. If she wants to eat anything, give it to her. If she has any last wishes, fulfill them for her! If you linger any longer, you will not have another chance

Li Mazi was enraged. He balled his fists and was ready to hit Senior Shu.

Senior Shu was amused and looked at Li Mazi. He wasnt afraid of being hit.

I immediately said, Senior, you have a lot of experience. Im sure you know of a cure, right? As long as you can cure my sister-in-law, I will accept any of your conditions.

Senior Shu looked at me with his shifty eyes. Are you sure?

"Of course, I answered.

Senior Shu ruffled his beard. Uhm, I have a solution but Im afraid you wont dare to do it.

What is it? Li Mazi was so happy. For Chu Chu, even if its business with the King of Hell, I will still accept it.

Then, youre going to marry a wife. Are you happy about that? Senior Shu answered with a smile.

Senior Shu, please do not beat around the bush, just go straight to the point.

Im not beating around the bush. Senior Shu wasnt pleased. If you think I said some nonsense, then Ill leave now. Im not here to do a thankless job!

Chuyi said, Continue.

Senior Shu seemed to be really afraid of Chuyi. He became more honest and said, You guys should find a widow who has been married at least five times. She should be someone who has caused her husbands death then remarried! If she looks attractive, you should hook up with her. The dowry she brings should have some powerful otherworldly item. After that, take the otherworldly item and make Chu Chu wear it. Well be using poison to treat poison

After Senior Shu explained, I saw Chuyis eyes brighten up. I was as if he had understood something.

Will it work? I asked Senior Shu.

I dont know if itll work for sure. But in theory, it should.

Li Mazi and I didnt know why marrying a widow who had harmed her previous husbands could save Chu Chu. We were both hesitant. However, Chuyi agreed.

Are you sure about this? What if it doesnt work? Wont we just harm Li Mazi? I asked Chuyi.

The husband doesnt always die because of the womans ill luck. It could also be because of something she keeps with her as a dowry. That item might absorb Yang energy and nurture Yin energy. If we can find that otherworldly item and let Chu Chu wear it, it could continuously absorb the Yang energy from other people and strengthen her vitality.

I couldnt help but force a smile. Is this a scientific explanation of the husbands death?

As Chuyi saw that we were skeptical, he continued his explanation.

Actually, items that can absorb Yang energy to nurture Yin energy are not only found with widows. It could be some antique in your shop. However, this sort of item doesnt create any strange phenomenon. Its hard to find. However, if a widow has been married five times or more, Im sure shes haunted by such an otherworldly item.

He continued and said, Have you ever noticed that a widow who has remarried at least five times never looks ugly? Her skin always glows as if shes just gotten married. This is because she has obtained some dowry that can use Yang energy to nurture her Yin energy. Its like eating supplements daily. Its good for her body and skin. Its the only method we can use to find that sort of otherworldly item.

Both Li Mazi and I were surprised. This reasoning was too weird. I thought it would be really hard for Li Mazi to marry a widow who had been remarried five times

Sure enough, Li Mazis face became green.

Chuyi could recognize our worries. He said calmly, Actually, you dont need to marry her. As long as you can befriend her and find the otherworldly item she possesses, you can buy it. Isnt that right?

I turned to look at Li Mazi and wondered if he would agree.

Li Mazi walked to Chu Chu. He held her hands and sighed. Lets hide this from Chu Chu. We shouldnt tell her that Im going to marry a widow

I nodded. Dont worry. Even if she knows, she wont blame you.

Senior Shu guffawed evilly. Since Im a nice guy, I should help you to the end. Ill give you a clue. I happen to know a widow who possibly has an otherworldly item. Later on, I will introduce her to you.

Li Mazi nodded. Sorry for bothering you, sir.

Tch tch, all right, you shouldnt be too polite to me. Senior Shu waved his hand and said, I cant get used to your change in attitude. However, that widow is still with her husband. Her husband will soon go to heaven. When that time comes, you can jump in, said Senior Shu.

Li Mazi grimaced. If she still has a husband, why did you say that shes a widow?

Senior Shu said, Dont worry, her husband is already done for. That poor man is on his deathbed. He couldnt walk for half a year and now he needs support to go to the bathroom. He will go to heaven shortly. When the widow feels vulnerable, you should approach her and make her feel touched. When she becomes attached to you, you will sleep with her. At most, it would take five days to know what otherworldly item is messing with her.

I was worried. Isnt this the same as deceiving the woman? If she falls in love with Li Mazi and then finds out that he just wants to trick her, what will happen?

But for Chu Chus sake, Li Mazi had no choice. At most, he would give her some compensation for her mental loss.

Since Li Mazi wouldnt be able to take care of Chu Chu for the next while, he hired a nurse. After carefully giving advice to the nurse, we left.

Since this was related to Chu Chus well-being, Chuyi stayed and secretly gave assistance to Li Mazi.

Senior Shu wasnt interested in this. Although Li Mazi had promised him a large payment, he wasnt moved.

Senior Shu said that he was poor and had nothing but money. I immediately understood what he meant. He was a professional otherworldly merchant that didnt need money. However, I was sure he would love strange otherworldly items.

Weve obtained a bronze mirror from the Tang dynasty. The thousand-year-old soul of Yang Guifei is trapped inside. Its really rare. Senior Shu, if you can help us save Chu Chu, we will give you the mirror!

Senior Shu was so happy. He agreed and appraised me for having good sense.

After that, Li Mazi told me that it was unethical. After all, Yang Guifeis huge resentful energy could torture Senior Shu to death

The widows called Mu Wan. Shes around thirty years old. She has a slender waist, long legs, and deep cleavage. Shes a voluptuous woman. Well, shes Li Mazis favorite type, anyway, Senior Shu told us.

Li Mazi sighed and said, After experiencing the vast ocean, water can hardly pique ones interest.
