Chapter 874: Last Wish

Is this a living person?! How could she see her?!

“I’m a Taoist master.” Xie Qiao took a sip of tea and said calmly, “You’ve disturbed my sleep. But since you and I are fated, tell me your last wish. I’ll fulfill it for you and send you to reincarnation.”

She had just caught a large group of ghouls a few days ago, and now her body was extremely powerful.

However, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was something. If she encountered one ghoul, she had to do her best and strive for a long life.

The ghoul gulped.

Taoist master… Could it be that she was from the Yuxu Temple?

“Are you really going to… help me fulfill my last wish?” The female ghoul asked nervously.

“Yes.” Xie Qiao nodded slowly.

The female ghoul thought for a moment, suddenly, she threw herself onto the ground. “M-Master… I… died so unjustly! I didn’t mean to peep under the bed… It’s just that… when I died… I was lying under this bed…”

As she spoke, the female ghoul wiped her tears of blood and pointed to the side, adding, “I died… under Master’s bed…”

Xie Qiao glanced at the bed and could not sleep anymore. Her voice was languid, but there was a hint of seriousness in it, “Tell me more. Do you need me to move your grave, or do you need me to claim justice for you? If you died too long ago and your enemies are no longer around, then forgive me for not being able to do anything.”

The ghoul was very careful, “I-I was living in a wealthy family in a nearby town when I was alive. I couldn’t compare to the wealthy families in the capital, but my family still had a small family business. There was once… I thought my husband had a mistress. He said that he wanted to go to the capital to sell goods, so I went to this place ahead of time and hid under this bed at night…”

That night, the woman naturally heard something that she should not have heard.

Unfortunately, he was not with a woman. Her husband was having an affair with a man.

It was a bolt from the blue. She could not help but cry out loud.

She was caught red-handed by the two men. When they saw her hiding inside, they tied her up, strangled her, and kept pouring alcohol down her throat.

Her husband’s family was in the alcohol business. This time, they brought a lot of alcohol with them. It was enough to kill her.

This man was in the wine business, so he naturally knew that drinking wine could kill people, so he fed her a lot.

Then, he stuffed her under the bed.

This woman was dead drunk.

The bed was not very spacious, and it was even a little cramped, so when the attendant cleaned the guest room, he did not find anything.

However, during those days, the smell of wine in the room could not be removed. Thinking that the previous guest had spilled wine and stained the wood, it was not easy to get rid of the smell. He did not let other guests stay in the room.

It was left empty for a few days.

A few days later, when the attendant went to clean up again, he smelled the stench of a corpse.

After searching for a while, he found the corpse hiding under the bed.

The husband naturally went to the capital. When he returned to the town, the government began to investigate the case.

As he was the one who hid the woman while there were many miscellaneous people coming in and out of the inn every day, since the husband revealed that he did not know anything about it, the case was concluded that the woman had followed him. She was obese and drank some alcohol, she was stuck under the bed and suffocated to death.

The space under the bed was small, so the husband escaped the crime with the excuse.

“How long has it been since this case happened?” Xie Qiao asked.

“I don’t know…” the ghoul buried her neck, looking quite cowardly.

Xie Qiao sighed. “Then is your wish revenge? I can tell the administrative office about this case, and then they can clear your name.”

“Although I don’t know how much time has passed, it should be… a very, very long time. It doesn’t matter whether I seek revenge or not… I just want to… drink some wine….”
