Otherworldly Merchant

Chapter 129: Bodhisattva Congee

Chuyi shot me a cold glare. Pick it up. Keep burning it.

Putting my fears aside, I picked up the candle and continued to burn it.

The pregnant corpses mouth opened wider. Burping sounds were continuously echoing inside her throat. She also hiccupped; sticky saliva oozed from the corner of her mouth every time she hiccupped, which painted a really disgusting sight.

She looked horrible. Her eyes bulged, showing more white than black as she gazed blankly at the void.

For some reason, I had the feeling that the pregnant woman was looking at me with resentment. I had goosebumps on my back right after thinking about it.

Chuyi would use his handkerchief to wipe the drool every time the pregnant corpse burped. Shortly after, his handkerchief had turned into a gruesome dark yellowish color.

Eventually, Chuyi signaled, Thats enough. I immediately threw the candle aside and rubbed my sore arm.

What are you going to do with that? I asked.

Chuyi checked the pregnant corpses chin. There was only a small burnt spot, which would only be visible with a closer look.

Lets go! Chuyi stood up, carefully wrapping the handkerchief. Tell the man who incinerates the corpses to contact us as soon as the Thai sorcerer appears. Money is not a problem.

I immediately nodded. I found Old Qi and advised him, then we left the funeral house.

When we returned, I simply told the others that the Thai sorcerer had also gone to the funeral parlor to find a pregnant corpse. Zen Master Baimei was so angry his face turned purple. Those Thai people are really vicious and merciless! They used Bodhisattva Congee!

I felt nauseous because I could guess what the Bodhisattva Congee was. It was actually the pregnant corpses drool; her saliva did resemble rice congee

What are you going to do? Chuyi asked Zen Master Baimei.

Merciful Buddha. As long as the pregnant corpse is all right, we could take them down in one go.

I heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that Zen Master Baimei seemed to have everything under control.

Everything was ready, and we were just waiting for the right chance. I decided to invite them to have lunch at a nice hotel since we had nothing else to worry about.

During lunch, Li Mazi took the opportunity to invite Chuyi and Zen Master Baimei to his wedding.

Zen Master Baimei looked embarrassed. He pondered for a while before replying. Benefactor, I wonder if I should tell you something.

Oh, what is it? asked Li Mazi.

Zen Master Baimei counted on his fingers. The date of your wedding isnt really ideal. How about I propose an auspicious date for you?

I was interested in this, so I asked, Is your wedding day something that should be picked carefully?

Zen Master Baimei smiled. Of course. The combination of Yin and Yang requires the Yin and Yang energy from earth and the heavens. If the hour you choose isnt right, it will have a strong effect on the rest of your life.

Li Mazi immediately asked Zen Master Baimei to show him the right date.

Zen Master Baimei used his fingers one more time. Then, he advised the couple to push back their wedding for two months, which would help them blend beautifully with their Yin and Yang, so they could love and take care of each other well.

Li Mazi thanked Zen Master Baimei since he and Chu Chu had been quarrelling a lot these days. Li Mazi was satisfied by the outcome and decided to pay for everyones lunch. In any case, he had several hundred thousand renminbi at the moment. This small amount of money wasnt an issue.

After paying, a waiter approached us as we were about to leave. He asked, Excuse me, is Ms. Chu Chu here?

Chu Chu was clueless. She asked the waiter, Thats me. Whats wrong?

Theres a mister who asked me to deliver this box to you. He said its your birthday present, the waiter answered.

We looked at Chu Chu, and asked, Todays your birthday?

Chu Chu frowned. I actually dont know when my birthday is

Li Mazi smiled. Its free anyway. You shouldnt waste it.

Then, Li Mazi offered to take the big box for her. He trembled a little bit since the thing inside was somewhat heavy.

He handed the box to Chu Chu. Chu Chu, its your birthday gift. You should open it. Im going to get you a cake. We should celebrate your birthday later today

Chu Chu nodded with a warm and tender smile.

However, we gawked in shock when Chu Chu opened the box.

Unexpectedly, there was a tripod inside the box, the same one that had appeared in Li Mazis house.

I immediately knew that something was wrong. I called the waiter and asked, Who told you to deliver this box? Where is he?

Gone He already left. The waiter was scared and shaken because of my stern questioning.

Go get him! I thundered then immediately departed.

I was sure that this box had been sent by the Thai sorcerer who had cast the spell on us. Although I didnt know his motive, I was certain it wouldnt be anything good.

Chuyi and Baimei followed me.

I saw a sneaky figure watching us, hiding near the hotels door. He got in his car and left the moment he saw us come out.

Chuyi pulled me back as I was about to take a taxi. No! Chu Chus in danger. We should head back.

Prior to entering the private room, we heard Li Mazi screaming like a pig being slaughtered. Chu Chu, are you okay?!

I rushed into the room and saw Chu Chu leaning in Li Mazis chest. A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. She was completely still, with her eyes tightly shut.

Li Mazi got on his knees once he saw Chuyi enter the room. Brother, please help Chu Chu. She just vomited blood

I hurried to pull Li Mazi up. You dont need to say that. Let him check the situation first.

Chuyi felt Chu Chus pulse, his sword-like eyebrows arching.

From his expression alone, I knew things were bad and couldnt help but feel really anxious.

How is it? How is it? Li Mazi grabbed Chuyis arm. He was so worried his tears began to roll.

Chuyi shook his head. Its the backlash from the otherworldly item. We cant be too optimistic.

What? I was taken aback. How could an otherworldly item act that? I have never encountered such a situation before, even if it were an evil item.

Its not an ordinary otherworldly item, Zen Master Baimei said, Its the otherworldly item controlled by the Thai sorcerer. Its evil effect was definitely enhanced. And, given that your wife subdued this otherworldly item previously, when it bursts, it will affect her first

Li Mazi didnt understand, he just begged the two to save Chu Chu with a pained expression.

Chu Chu was a kind and nave woman who unfortunately had a rough childhood. I couldnt ease my heart, since she had received the backlash as she tried to save me and Li Mazi...

I said, Zen Master Baimei, Chuyi, no matter what, you must save Chu Chu!

Chuyi said, Dont worry. I will think of a solution. We should get back to the shop.

Li Mazi hugged Chu Chu close to his chest as he cried. I didnt know how to comfort him.

I was truly useless. I could drink with him and even kill someone with him, but I didnt know how to comfort him.

After we returned, Chuyi and Zen Master Baimei stayed there and continued talking about the matter at hand.

I invited several doctors to check Chu Chus condition. However, they couldnt figure out what kind of disease she had so they couldnt give her the right treatment. I couldnt do anything else but to give them some money and see them off.

Around an hour later, Zen Master Baimei called me, saying that he wanted to explain the situation to me first.

I immediately sat down. Zen Master, hows the situation?

Zen Master Baimei chanted, Merciful Buddha, it seems they knew our whole plan. They gave us a lesson, warning us about not meddling in their business

I gritted my teeth in anger. Damn, doing dark deeds behind our backs. If they have the ability, why dont they show themselves!

Zen Master Baimei said, The Thai sorcerer has indeed done some sneaky deeds, but thats also his strong point. We must be very careful from now on.

I then asked, Zen Master Baimei, what could we do to treat Chu Chus injury?
