“This little ghost is quite powerful. The needle can’t hold him back. It seems the only way to bring peace to everyone is to eliminate him.”

Zhuang Qingning murmured softly to herself, then abruptly lifted her hand. The peach wood sword in her hand fiercely slashed down onto the doll.

The doll was silent almost instantly. Where Zhuang Qingning’s sword had struck, the original pale hue gradually deepened, turning visibly red before everyone’s eyes.

A red that resembled blood.

A deadly silence fell across the crowd, their eyes wide and mouths agape, unable to regain their composure for a long time.

“The doll… it’s bleeding…”

It was not until someone broke the silence with a cry of alarm that they seemed to come back to their senses.

“What do you mean the doll’s bleeding? That’s ghost blood! The little ghost must have been killed, that’s why it’s bleeding!”

“Right, the little ghost must have been killed. Otherwise, why would there be blood?”

Amidst the shock, the crowd looked towards Zhuang Qingning with either disbelief or deep admiration.

“Everyone, the little ghost has been slain by me. You no longer need to fear or discuss this matter. After all, it was an unclean creature. Further talk is pointless.”

Zhuang Qingning slipped her peach wood sword behind her back, announcing loudly, “This matter ends here. Everyone, please disperse.”

Having said that, Zhuang Qingning headed towards her shop, while Mrs. Cao, Zhang Qiuying, and Zhuang Qingsui went to move the tables.

The tofu shop’s entrance returned to its previous state as if the ghost-catching and ghost-killing had never happened. The hustle and bustle from the street far away brought the awestruck crowd back to reality.

“My goodness, today surely was an eye-opener. I had only heard stories about formidable individuals able to perform such magic, always assuming it was just storytellers tricking folks with their tales of ghosts. I never imagined it to be true, much less witness it with my own eyes!”

“Looking at this slender young lady, I initially thought she was fragile, only to find out she possesses such miraculous powers. She’s really an adept practitioner!”

“That’s what they mean when they say ‘Calm water runs deep’. Many of those skilled in the ways often remain incognito, never flaunting their abilities. Maybe this young lady descends from some skilled expert!”

“You might be right. Nevertheless, the matter of the little ghost has been resolved. Isn’t it a relief for all of us?”

“Indeed, we can now buy tofu with peace of mind…”

“More than just peace of mind, such a skilled individual must have good fortune. That’s why she can suppress such filthy things. If we frequent her shop more, wouldn’t we also benefit from her good fortune, shielding ourselves from these vile creatures?”

“Ah, that makes sense. No wonder her tofu and bean sprouts taste better than anywhere else. It might be exactly as you said. From now on, we should buy more tofu and bean sprouts from her shop.”

“They always say people skilled in the Tao are keen on the way of longevity. Maybe the tofu she makes has these effects. Going forward, we need to eat more.”

“Yes, we should eat more…”
