Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable Chapter 325: Heavenly Master 32

The shopkeeper, seeing that Situ Shuangshuang was only examining his son’s condition without speaking, couldn’t help but anxiously ask, "What’s wrong with my son? Can you tell?"

Sitting on the stool by the bed, Situ Shuangshuang looked at the boy and said, "His soul has indeed been taken away. Now that his soul’s whereabouts are unknown, I will cast a spell when the moon is at its zenith to see where his soul has gone, so that we can retrieve it."

The shopkeeper had run out of ideas at this point. Hearing that Situ Shuangshuang had a way to find his child’s soul, he imdiately rubbed his hands and smiled ingratiatingly at Situ Shuangshuang, "Please, Master, take extra care for my child. Surely you haven’t eaten well before, let prepare so food for you to enjoy a good al first!"

Having just eaten, Situ Shuangshuang couldn’t eat much more. However, seeing the flattering smile on the shopkeeper’s anxious face, she nodded her head. When in need, people tend to be obsequious and a refusal might cause them unnecessary worry. Agreeing was a way to ease his mind.

Besides, she wouldn’t eat much, and the leftovers wouldn’t be wasted by the shopkeeper who probably lived frugally and couldn’t afford to worry about whether leftovers had too much nitrite affecting health.

This ti, the shopkeeper prepared an elaborate spread with chicken, duck, fish, and at. At the dining table, he earnestly urged Situ Shuangshuang to eat. She picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites of each dish. The shopkeeper’s culinary skills were quite good, but her appetite was lacking, so she put down the chopsticks after trying a little.

The shopkeeper knew that Situ Shuangshuang had eaten before and probably couldn’t consu much more. But it was his sincere hospitality. Seeing that she, although cold, tried every dish, reassured him. He thought perhaps this cold-looking but unexpectedly kind Master was satisfied with his hospitality.

After clearing the table, the shopkeeper suppressed his impatience and sat facing Situ Shuangshuang, waiting for the right mont she ntioned.

Situ Shuangshuang continuously calculated the ti. When it felt about right, she stood up and said to the shopkeeper, "Find a clean basin, a ceramic one is best. If there’s none, others will do. Fill it with clean water and place it over your son’s head."

The shopkeeper did not understand the implication of Situ Shuangshuang’s instructions, but he complied imdiately, quickly bringing in a large, clean ceramic basin filled with water, which he carefully placed above his son’s head.

With the basin of water in place, the shopkeeper stood there watching Situ Shuangshuang. She looked outside. Although the ancient town was a tourist attraction, to preserve its antique charm, there were no streetlights, and the only illumination ca from the lanterns hanging in front of every household.

Without the dazzling city neon lights, it saved Situ Shuangshuang a lot of trouble. Looking at the sky, she said to the shopkeeper, "Turn off all the lights in the courtyard and also open the windows!"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a mont because there were still a few lodgers in the courtyard who might find it inconvenient. However, looking at his son, he gritted his teeth and agreed, going out.

But the shopkeeper was smart; he didn’t go turning off each room’s lights individually but simply disconnected the fuse! Luckily, this place had an old-style electric ter. If it had been a card ter, he would have had no other ans. Even if he pulled the electric switch, soone would find it and turn it back on!

With the fuse cut, the entire courtyard, including the lanterns at the gate, went pitch black instantly!

"What’s happening? Why is there a power outage?"

"I was watching TV! Why is there no power?"

"Hey, the other courtyards have their lights on. Why is it only here that’s out?"

As soon as the power went out, the lodgers all ca out, chattering and checking around, relentlessly questioning the shopkeeper, who apologized repeatedly and accompanied them with an apologetic smile.

"I truly apologize; the house has an old-style ter, and the fuse blew. We don’t have any replacent now, so we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to buy so to reconnect the ter. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. How about this, I’ll waive half of your room charge, and provide breakfast in the morning. How does that sound?"

The shopkeeper’s courteous apologies, coupled with the offer, appeased the reasonable lodgers, who scattered with nods of agreent.

However, there were two backpackers traveling together who, holding their mobile power banks, persistently complained to the shopkeeper, "Our power banks were being charged! Now, without power, we won’t be able to make calls or take pictures tomorrow! It’s so inconvenient!"

The shopkeeper remained composed, warmly offering with a smile, "It’s a big deal if the power bank runs out of charge. How about this, I’ll take you to my neighbor’s next door and charge for two hours, how about it?"

The shopkeeper handled it perfectly, with not a single misstep. Those two backpackers weren’t causing trouble but were simply anxious. Now that there was a place to charge, they quieted down and obligingly followed the shopkeeper to his neighbor’s ho to charge their devices.

After settling the guests, the shopkeeper rushed back to his son’s room with great haste, and upon entering, he stood dumbfounded at the door. He saw that in the pitch-black room, his son was glowing gently like a firefly, emitting a soft green light all over!

The scene was extrely eerie, with even his son’s serene sleeping face appearing sowhat distorted and grotesque under the green glow. However, because this luminescent, mysterious being was his son, the shopkeeper wasn’t particularly afraid!

Situ Shuangshuang glanced at the shopkeeper and beckoned him over. He closed his mouth, agape with shock, and looked at Situ Shuangshuang with reverence before obediently stepping to her side.

"Sit by your son, hold his hand. I am going to perform a ritual, using the physical body as a dium to locate the position of your son’s soul. As his father, your blood connection can help better pinpoint the location of your son’s soul."

The shopkeeper followed the instruction precisely, sitting down beside his son and holding his small hand, then eagerly watched Situ Shuangshuang.

This ti, Situ Shuangshuang didn’t use talismans. She quickly ford several handprints, drawing down the essence of the moonlight from above with her own mana. As her movents progressed, a beam of moonlight passed through the open window and fell into her hands!

The beam of moonlight was exceedingly bright, illuminating the room perfectly without being dazzling, more natural than the light of lamps, and softer than sunlight!

Situ Shuangshuang cupped the gathered moonlight in her palm and, turning her hand, pressed the moonlight into the basin of water.

The moonlight entered the water, and the brilliant light that illuminated the entire room gathered within the basin. A mist rose from the water, and once it dispersed, the basin suddenly beca like a high-definition television screen, presenting an exceptionally clear audiovisual scene!
