830 A Million Times for You 192 (1/2)
”Are you guys leaving already?”
”Yes.”
The spirit nodded and said, ”I chanced upon grim reapers today and they were there specifically to catch me. However, I managed to escape with all my might. Could you burn me some money? I'm afraid that they'll catch and torture me.”
”Alright. It's the wee hours of the night right now and all the clothing stores are closed. I did bring some extra clothes with me, you'll probably be able to fit into them. I've also brought some paper money along. I'll burn them all to you later.”
The spirit cried tears of joy and gratitude. ”Thank you so much.”
”Don't mention it.”
An Xiaoning took out a joss stick and placed it onto a plate meant for mosquito coils. She then took out all of the paper money and clothing she had bought and set them on fire on the cemented ground of the house.
Soon, thick fumes began to fill the air and Xiao Bai opened the window to allow for ventilation.
Once the ritual was completed, the spirit could no longer be seen in the house.
Xiao Bai cleaned up the mess while An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin began sorting their luggage.
They decided to head back on their own since it would take days for Jin Qingyan's ship to arrive.
An Xiaoning knocked on the door opposite hers when daybreak arrived.
”Nainai, it's you.”
”Sis Fei Niao, we're leaving this place now. You may have everything that's left inside my room.”
”Really? Thank you so much,” Fei Niao thanked agitatedly.
”There are still more than twenty days before our lease is up. You may continue to stay at my place until then.”
”Nainai, you're such a kind soul. Thank you so much. However, the exits and entrances of the town are still sealed at present.”
”There should be another way out.”
After a moment of hesitation, Fei Niao said, ”Nainai, since you're so kind to me, it doesn't make sense for me to not do something for you in return. I know of a route that you can take to leave…”
The trio first proceeded to the spirit's home.
After informing the spirit's mother of her death, they left her a sum of money, claiming to be the spirit's friend.
They then embarked on the route as described by Fei Niao. Although they had to make a huge detour on a rocky path, they indeed managed to walk out of the town.
After taking several buses, they finally arrived at the harbor.
They embarked on a two-day journey by ship before boarding a plane.
It made things much faster.
Although they had to make several stops throughout the journey, it was still considered to be rather successful and smooth.
It was already four o'clock in the morning by the time they arrived back in S Nation.
An Xiaoning did not find the weather cold at all, unlike Fan Shixin and Xiao Bai, who were both shivering in their summer outfits.
It took five minutes to get to Wei Ni Estate from the airport.
Upon alighting from the taxi, An Xiaoning said to the two of them quietly, ”Your Young Sir must still be sleeping soundly. He definitely doesn't know that we're already home.”
”I think so, too.”
To An Xiaoning's surprise, she was caught off guard and pulled into Jin Qingyan's embrace the moment she stepped foot inside the house.
Fan Shixin and Xiao Bai looked at each other and hurriedly made themselves scarce by bringing the luggage inside.
