The Female Taoist Priestess’s Childhood Sweetheart Is a Male CEO

Chapter 54

Just as Jian Xi was thinking, the rhythm of the music she was playing suddenly sped up.

In an instant, a strong evil aura rushed up, and the staggering ghost appeared.

With a blue face, fangs, dripping disgusting drool, skin like ancient tree bark, blood red eyes, and a body giving off black smoke!

Ugh, extremely ugly!

Nie Xiujin gripped the soul-calming bell in his hand, wanting to step forward to attack it, since it was currently being controlled by Jian Xi, this was the best opportunity.

But Jian Xi's actions were faster than his. In her hand, seven talismans appeared out of thin air once again, and she threw them towards the ghost.

The talismans stopped in front of the ghost, surrounding it completely, each one positioned differently.

Jian Xi pinched hand seals and mumbled an incantation under her breath.

In a flash, the ghost didn't even struggle, and as her spell chanting stopped, the talismans ignited and the ghost let out a miserable cry, then disappeared into the night without a trace, as if it had never appeared at all!

Nie Xiujin was deeply shocked by the scene that had just unfolded before his eyes. A ghost with over five hundred years of cultivation was destroyed just like that?

And looking at Jian Xi's completely relaxed expression, he suddenly felt how ignorant he was.

She was not just a genius, she was simply a monster!

...

As Nie Xiujin's recollection ended, the car also arrived at the bookstore entrance.

The nightlife of college students was just beginning, and the street was very lively, with many small food stalls set up.

Jian Xi looked over in that direction. Having just expended a lot of spiritual power, she was rather hungry now!

But she didn't say anything, and followed everyone into the bookstore.

As soon as they entered, she saw Chief Song from the service counter, along with Shi Fan and Qi Yunzheng walking out from inside.

There was no one else inside the store, so Lin Xi Wen who was last in line locked the door.

The group headed upstairs with solemn expressions. Chief Song and the others didn't know what had happened yet so they were still on high alert, while Nie Xiujin and the rest were still immersed in disbelief over Jian Xi's abilities after finding out about them, not having recovered yet.

As a consultant for the Special Security Bureau, she didn't have to go to work normally, but still had to see a case through to the end once undertaking it, and a final summary still had to be done.

The lights in the conference room were switched on, and the meeting regarding this case officially began.

Chief Song spoke first, asking, "Xiujin, talk about the situation at the scene. Was it confirmed to be a supernatural event? If confirmed I'll go get the case from the criminal investigation team right away."

Nie Xiujin looked at Chief Song exceptionally, then glanced at Jian Xi across from him with an impassive face. He took a deep breath and began his report.

"Chief Song, this case was indeed a supernatural event, a malicious ghost injuring people. The ghost had over five hundred years of cultivation, but..." it had already been destroyed by Jian Xi.

Before he could finish speaking, he was loudly interrupted by Chief Song, "What did you say? A ghost with over five hundred years of cultivation!"

Along with Chief Song's shocked cry were the sounds of stools falling over on the ground.

Jian Xi pressed her lips together without making a sound, rather nauseous from hunger. She had to get food first thing after the debrief!

"What do we do, I'll go invite the Ghost God right away, you guys wait here a bit." After dropping those words, Chief Song was about to leave the conference room to prepare some items needed to invite the Ghost God.

Nie Xiujin called him back, "Wait Chief Song, the ghost has already been destroyed by Jian Xi."

Stopping in his tracks, Chief Song thought he was hearing things. He turned back to look at Nie Xiujin and asked, "What did you say?"

Shi Fan and Qi Yunzheng who hadn't made it to the scene yet also stared at Jian Xi in disbelief, gaping.

Nie Xiujin repeated: "I said, the ghost has already been destroyed by Jian Xi, you don't need to invite the Ghost God!"

Chief Song opened and closed his mouth, gaze settling on Jian Xi's face, seeming to want to hear it from her own mouth.

Jian Xi naturally nodded, affirming Nie Xiujin's words.

One minute of silence, two minutes of quiet, three minutes of eeriness.

Five minutes later, Chief Song found his voice again, "Jian Xi, you see, if you're interested in the deputy bureau chief position..."

Jian Xi shook her head, "Consultant is good enough, Chief Song is there anything else? If not I'll get off work first."

I'm so hungry! o(╥_╥)o

There was still the case summary left to do, but she had destroyed a five hundred year old ghost, clearly exhausted, who cared about summaries!

Chief Song fawned, "You can absolutely get off work, go back and rest, we'll handle the rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, all that was heard in the conference room was Jian Xi's "bye", then a flash before their eyes, feeling a gust of wind. The conference room door opened, then closed again. Jian Xi had left!

After reacting for a bit, Chief Song hurriedly returned to the meeting table, "Xiujin, quick, tell me exactly what happened."

What followed was Nie Xiujin's recounting of how Jian Xi destroyed the ghost, and how she had summoned back half of the "missing souls" on the list from the Underworld along the way.

Besides Nie Xiujin, everyone else in the conference room listened as if to a fantasy story!

Lin Xi Wen and Tang Xingyou were the same. Because when they returned, Jian Xi had already finished battling, although they were at the scene, they actually knew nothing!

...

After leaving the conference room, Jian Xi came to the entrance, unlocking and opening the door. She looked around, took out a yellow talisman paper from her bracelet, and casually tore it into the shape of a small paper effigy.

She took out a wolf hair brush and cinnabar, dabbing the paper effigy's forehead, chanting a spell, and the paper effigy then "came alive", jumping from her palm and squeezing through the door crack, locking it from inside!

Right after locking the door, the paper effigy wilted, but Jian Xi was very satisfied. She had just recently researched this paper effigy art - it was secret arts from her ancestors' memoirs, being able to last one minute was already very good!

"Snack street, here I come!" Jian Xi's eyes shone looking towards the nearby stalls.

Then, a girl with a bun happily traversed the entire snack street, roasted cold noodles in her left hand and grilled squid in her right.

An hour later, a silver Bugatti Veyron stopped at the edge of the snack street, attracting many gazes.

Jian Xi got in the car while burping from fullness and opened the door.
