Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey

The boss's eyes widened.

Before he could react, Jiangli fanned another hand towards the flames, and a trail of white smoke drifted over.

Simultaneously, Xia Xin and the boss felt a warmth in their eyes and instinctively closed them, covering their eyes with their hands.

About two seconds later, Jiangli's voice suddenly rang out, "Okay, open your eyes."

The boss and Xia Xin only felt their eyes burning intensely. Hearing the command, they instinctively opened their eyes, but they did not notice the dark gleam that flashed beneath their gaze.

Still rubbing his slightly uncomfortable eyes, Xia Xin asked, "What's going on here?"

Jiangli nodded his chin towards the boss's side, "Now take a look, can you see that thing?"

The boss and Xia Xin instinctively looked over.

"Holy shit!!!"

The next second, the boss jumped up!

"Damn! What, what is that? When did it come here, how, how did I not see it just now?!"

"Holy crap—"

Xia Xin also shuddered at first glance, realizing something was off with the translucent child, "This, this is a ghost, isn't it?!"

Boss: "..."

Watching the translucent figure and seeing how his hands reached unobstructed into the electrical box, the boss bolted from behind the counter, "Holy shit, how can there be ghosts in broad daylight?!!!"

It seemed the child heard their voices, turned his head towards them, and flashed them a smile.

The boss slipped and almost fell.

Xia Xin felt a shiver all over, freezing on the spot.

Although he had grown up at the Taoist Temple and heard the Taoist talk about many such things, he had never seen a ghost with his own eyes!!!

What was all this?!

Compared to them, Jiangli was much calmer.

"Did I lie?" Jiangli glanced at the two of them.

The boss was almost crying, shaking like a sieve, "Where did this ghost come from, isn't it said that no spirits are allowed to be formed after the founding of the country?!"

Xia Xin: "..."

Is this the time to say such things?

"So, master..." The boss suddenly snapped back to reality, looking at Jiangli with the desperation of someone grasping for a lifeline, pleading, "Master, you're truly a master! I'll believe anything you say now, but can you please get rid of this thing first!"

With this thing here, he couldn't only not open for business, he was nearly scared to death!

The boss had truly not expected there to actually be ghosts here!

But seeing is believing, and he couldn't help but believe.

"There's no need to be so frightened," said Jiangli indifferently.

"This child's face is benevolent, and his Soul Body naturally transparent without any Evil Qi, clearly not an evil ghost or an Evil Ghost. He won't do harm, likely just staying here because he finds it amusing. The reason your shop can't open is probably because of him."

"Amusing my ass!!! He thinks it's funny, but I don't find it funny at all!" Upon hearing this, the boss became somewhat frantic, "Why, why does he have to stay here, I've never harmed him!"

Seeing the boss as if he were about to wet himself, Jiangli tsked, then looked towards the little guy in the corner and waved to him, "Come here."

The child looked at Jiangli confusedly then suddenly let out a crisp voice, "Don't want to, you're a bad person!"

Jiangli: "..."

The boss and Xia Xin stood not far off, trembling.

Jiangli looked at the oblivious little brat and smiled faintly. With a lift of her hand, she directly grabbed the child's collar, hoisted him up, and placed him on the counter so that he was at eye level with her.

The little guy wasn't very big, about four or five years old.

Once put on the counter, he immediately began to bawl loudly.

That cry was painfully loud to the boss, his head buzzing and aching.

Xia Xin also felt somewhat uncomfortable, his heart pounding fiercely.
