Chapter 40: Catching the Thief

Ji Jing turned to Ming Ze and smiled slyly.

Ming Ze looked at Ji Jing’s bright smile and shifted his gaze away in a panic.

He nodded at Wang Gu. Although he didn’t understand what Ji Jing was talking about, he was willing to cooperate with her.

Wang Gu brought the two of them into the neighborhood. Ji Jing briefly explained the whole thing along the way.

“My guess is…A few days ago, the association issued an announcement.” Ji Jing said.

Ming Ze also saw the notice and understood Ji Jing’s thoughts.” I will help you.””

When Wang Gu heard the conversation between the two, he felt that it was very mysterious.

However, they seemed to be very confident that they could deal with the thief.

Soon, the group arrived at Wang Gu’s house.

Ji Jing asked for some glutinous rice from Wang Gu and walked to an empty space in the living room. She spread a simple circle of glutinous rice on the ground.

“Is this circle big enough?” Ji Jing asked Ming Ze.

“It should be enough. It’s not even a hundred years old, so its body won’t be very big.”Ming Ze said.

What was that? What was it? Was there anything in his house that was less than a hundred years old?

This circle looked like it was almost a meter in diameter. How could it still be called “not big”?

Wang Gu first looked at Ji Jing, then at Ming Ze in bewilderment.

“Alright!” Ji Jing finally finished the circle.

She pulled Wang Gu to the side and left the seat for Ming Ze.

Ming Ze nodded knowingly, then raised his head slightly and let out a long cry.

That voice was like the voice of a human, unusually ethereal.

At the same time, Ji Jing and Wang Gu only felt a gust of wind blowing through the hall, causing their clothes to rustle.

“What is this!” Wang Gu cried out in surprise. Did he accidentally enter some magical world?!

Wang Gu was blown by the wind until he couldn’t open his eyes. When the wind stopped, he came back to his senses and saw a monster that was half the height of a person standing in the originally empty glutinous rice circle!

“Ah!” Wang Gu was shocked. This monster filled up the glutinous rice circle just by standing!

“Hahaha, don’t be afraid! This is an underage little Pi Xiu, the thief who lives in your house.”Ji Jing smiled and comforted Wang Gu.

Pi Xiu stood in the circle and seemed a little aggrieved, making a whimpering sound.

“Pixiu?!” Wang Gu asked. You can only enter and not exit that?”

Wang Gu was about to fall into chaos. Wasn’t this something from the legends? She actually appeared in his house?

Ji Jing nodded.” Yes. It went missing a few days ago. The Taoist Association sent out a search notice, but for some reason, it hid in your house. It might be hungry and began to eat your food.”

Ji Jing thought of what the little Pi Xiu had done and found it funny.” It can’t transform or speak yet. He probably heard you say that those things were not good and were broken. He thought that those were things that you didn’t want, so he picked them up and ate them.”

He said that it did the right thing. It ate someone else’s food. It was evil, and it even knew to pick some damaged items to eat.

If Ji Jing was alone today, it would not be easy to deal with Pixiu. Pixiu did not understand human language, and she did not understand Pixiu language either! However, with Ming Ze around, as a white Ze, Ming Ze naturally had the ability to suppress Pi Xiu. This was very easy to handle.

Wang Gu was a little incoherent. His worldview had been reconstructed.” Then you will take this Pi Xiu away, right? Can I get those things back?”

“Of course, we’re here to take it away.” However, Pixiu could only enter and not leave. There was a high chance that he would not be able to find it back.”

Wang Gu instantly became depressed.

Ming Ze suddenly said,”You can ask your father to compensate you.””

“Yes!” Ji Jing replied.

Wang Gu wanted to cry but had no tears. This little one looked so terrifying. How would he dare to find a big one!

He waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that Ji Jing and the others could just take Pi Xiu away. He did not want anything else.

Ji Jing agreed. In order to prevent some special creatures and events from spreading and causing panic among ordinary people, she took out a confidentiality agreement specially made by the Taoist Association for Wang Gu to sign.

Before he left, Ming Ze cast a concealment spell on Pi Xiu and let it leave with him.

Pi Xiu was suppressed by Bai Ze’s pressure and behaved very obediently the entire time.

After settling the matter with the Wang Gu family, Ji Jing received a call from Ji Yi.

Ji Yi was looking for her? He felt that something bad was about to happen.

As soon as the call was connected, Ji Yi’s roar could be heard.” Ji Jing! What did you do to Yaoyao?”

“What?” Ji Jing was baffled.

Did she do anything to Ji Yao? She also wanted to know!
