Chapter 132: Chapter 132 - This Woman Is a Jinx

Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

An old granny in her seventies walked over from the intersection.

The granny was holding a walking stick in her hand, but she walked very quickly, giving people a feeling that she was actually very young. Especially her eyes. Normally, when an old person reached this age, their eyes would become muddled. However, her eyes were sparkling. When she looked at a

person, her eyes looked like that of a venomous snake’s, piercing and aggressive.

Behind the old granny were many villagers. It seemed like she had gathered all the villagers nearby.

After the old lady walked over, she looked at Tang Li straight in the eyes and started to chant something incomprehensible.

First Master Tang sensed that the old woman was up to no good, and she was targeting his niece. While the old granny was chanting, he subconsciously moved towards Tang Li and blocked her from being seen. He asked politely, “Ma’am, what are you doing here?”

‘As soon as he opened his mouth, Grandma Wu glared at him.

She did not answer him and continued to chant things that no one understood.

One of the elders berated First Master Tang, “Grandma Wu is uttering a spell. Don’t disturb her!”

‘As soon as this old man opened his mouth, another few old men joined him in berating First Master Tang.

First Master Tang frowned.

He had a bad feeling about this.

At that moment, Tang Li stood there and did not say anything.

She was paying attention to what this “Witch” was saying. After listening for a while, she finally understood that this was a self-created incantation.

Grandma Wu finished uttering it after around ten minutes. Then, with a serious face, she raised the crutch in her hand and pointed at Tang Li. “This woman is a jinx. She carries a demonic aura around her. Whenever she goes, she brings destruction along with her.”

Upon hearing that, the elders’ expressions changed drastically.

First Master Tang’s expression changed. He said angrily, “Where did this old witch come from? Are we still living in the old days? Do you think you can fool people with just a few words?”

“How dare you say that to Grandma Wu!”

“Do you know the consequences of offending Grandma Wu? You will suffer the wrath of heaven!”

“Grandma Wu is a messenger sent by a god. What she said has to be true.”

Hearing these ignorant words, Tang Li sneered. Instead of defending herself, she asked, “Granny, since you say I’m a jinx and have a demonic aura around me, show me the evidence. This is a new era. You don’t get to slander people and think you can get away with it. If you can’t show me the evidence

today, I’ll have to send you to the police station.”

Grandma Wu looked at her with disdain, but she didn’t speak, because someone would naturally speak up for her.

“Not only can Grandma Wu treat our illnesses, but she can also read fortunes for us. Previously, when there was an earthquake and a mudslide here, she was the one who told us to avoid it. She is a messenger sent by the heavens!”

“That’s right. How dare you question Grandma Wu. If you dare say something bad about her again, I’ll beat you to death.”

Hearing that, First Master Tang was furious. “What did you say? You bunch of idiots!”

The old man who said he would beat Tang Li to death sat on the ground and started crying. “Someone wants to beat me to death. Everyone, come and see…”

First Master Tang was stunned. This was the first time he had seen someone play the blame game. He quickly looked at the others, who were staring at him accusingly.

He then looked at Mr. Li, who was stuck in a dilemma. Grandma Wu was quite influential here. If she said someone was a jinx, someone would automatically be a jinx no matter how hard they tried to justify themselves.

However, the current situation was that this land already belonged to the Tang family. If the Tang family called the police, everyone here would be evicted.

He was in a dilemma and the best move to make for him was to remain silent and not interfere.

‘When First Master Tang saw Mr. Li’s reaction, he blew up.

Just as he was about to speak, Tang Li seemed to have thought it through. She asked Grandma, “Since you say that I am a jinx and will bring disaster to this place, tell me, what can I do to avoid bringing disaster to these… innocent people.”

‘When Tang Li said the words’ innocent people’, she deliberately glanced at the local villagers with ridicule and coldness in her eyes. She was planning to give these “innocent people” a good lesson.

“You don’t seem to be a bad girl, so I’ll tell you what you can do.”

Grandma Wu looked at Tang Li with the compassionate look of someone who had saved all living things. “Go buy some scented wax paper candles and follow me to the Mountain Temple. It’s best if you stay there for a few days and let the Mountain God remove the demonic aura on you.”

“That’s it?” Tang Li asked humbly. “Anything else I can do? Although I’ve never believed in ghosts and deities, I’m willing to cooperate to put the villagers at ease.”

Hearing that, First Master Tang frowned even more.

He felt that his niece should not have said those words.

He was about to speak again when Tang Li glanced at him and gave him a comforting look.

Then, he heard Tang Li ask, “I wonder where you can buy the scented wax paper candle?”

These words made the group of elders very satisfied.

Grandma Wu was also very satisfied. She said, “Since you’re so sincere, how about this? I have some at home. Just give me some money and I’ll get someone to send these over.”

“How much is it? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Or fifty thousand?”

Hiss.

Many people were shocked by how generous Tang Li was. They couldn’t believe that there were actually people in this world who were willing to pay a few thousands for some cheap candles.

Greed flashed across Grandma Wu’s eyes, but she managed to remain calm. “Money is not what it matters here. I’ll accept whatever you see fit.”

“Whatever I see fit?” Tang Li suddenly thought of something and said, “When I came here, I brought a jewelry necklace with me. I bought it at a famous jewelry store in the world. It’s worth more than one million. Why don’t I give you that jewelry necklace?

The expression on Grandma Wu’s face almost froze.

Before she revealed her greed, she held it back. “No need. I’m not selling you scented wax paper candles to earn money. I’m happy to help you get rid of the demonic aura on your body.”

“Why not? I think it’s quite appropriate to give you the jewelry.” After saying that, Tang Li turned around and walked upstairs. As she walked, she said, “Wait for me, I’ll go get it.”

Grandma Wu’s gaze followed her up, and many envious voices came from the side.

“I can’t believe she is this rich. She is actually willing to exchange a million yuan jewelry for a scented wax paper candle.”

“If knew this would happen, I would have said my family has these things too.”

“You can already buy a large house in the city with that a million yuan jewelry.”

Grandma Wu stood there, her fingers hidden in her sleeves trembling with excitement. At the same time, she pretended to be calm and asked someone to bring a message to her house to ask her family to send the scented wax paper candle over.
