Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Ancestral Remedy for Stopping a Child’s Crying

Shuaishuai, a mischievous little ghost, was just eye-hungry but stomach-full and quickly finished eating without even finishing a bowl of rice.

But he was still quite well-behaved, he wiped off the grease from his hands and wanted to play with Jiangli’s cellphone.

However…

A ghost is a ghost.

The moment his hand touched the cellphone, it went straight through.

Jiangli glanced at him and didn’t bother to intervene, clearly aware that Shuaishuai couldn’t actually pick up her cellphone.

...

No matter how hard Shuaishuai tried, he still couldn’t touch the cellphone.

After several attempts, he sat down on the ground feeling a bit aggrieved, looked at his own hands as if he half-understood something, then lifted his hand and slapped Jiangli’s leg with a smack.

The next second, he was propelled away.

Seeing this, Jiangli raised her hand and the little ghost’s body paused mid-air, floating there, not being thrown out.

“Holy shit!”

Xia Xin was startled and hurriedly went to pick up the little ghost.

He should have left it alone, but as soon as he picked him up, the little ghost immediately burst into tears.

“Mommy, I want Mommy…”

Xia Xin was at a loss and looked at Jiangli in panic.

Jiangli shifted her gaze from her cellphone and glanced at Shuaishuai, “I’m protected by merit, so any little thing like you that tries to harm me will get hurt instead. It’s not like I started it.”

Shuaishuai didn’t understand and continued to cry loudly.

The sound of the child crying made Xia Xin’s scalp tingle, “Ancestor, what should we do now?”

“What are you crying for?” Jiangli was baffled, “You tried to harm me, and not only did I not hurt you, I even saved you. Why are you crying? If you cry again, I’ll hang you up, you know!”

“…”

Shuaishuai suddenly shut his mouth, his body twitched from being too forceful.

Xia Xin watched the scene in a daze and silently gave his ancestor a thumbs up. The ancestor was truly formidable.

She possessed knowledge of astronomy and the Earth, as well as the power to quell the cries of youngsters.

Awesome, truly awesome.

Jiangli ignored Xia Xin’s gaze. Once the game was over, she found it increasingly boring.

Glancing at the sky outside, Jiangli yawned and said, “It’s getting late, I need to bathe and go to bed.”

Hearing this, Xia Xin stood up holding Shuaishuai, “Then shall I escort you back to your room, Ancestor?”

Jiangli grunted in acknowledgment and as she walked out, she said, “Remember to prepare the bathing supplies for me.”

Xia Xin cheerfully responded with “Alright!” and scurried after Jiangli.

After waiting in the room for a while, Xia Xin came in with some bottles and jars.

Looking at the items in his hands, Jiangli raised her eyebrows, “Is this what you people use for washing these days?”

“Yes.” Xia Xin had already settled Shuaishuai in his own room, and he showed the bottles and jars to Jiangli, “This is shampoo, this is body wash. Shampoo is for washing hair, and body wash is similar to the soapbeans from the past, right?”

He looked at Jiangli, “Ancestor, you called it soapbean back in your day, didn’t you?”

Jiangli hummed in agreement, “But do you only use these things for washing? Don’t you have hot water and bathtubs?”

“…”

Xia Xin looked at Jiangli in surprise, only then understanding what the ancestor meant by preparing for a bath.

He choked a bit and pointed to the partition next to him, “Ancestor, have you noticed the bathroom next door?”

“Bathroom?” Jiangli looked and honestly shook her head, “I didn’t see it.”

Xia Xin: “… Alright, come with me.”

He picked up the bottles and jars, leading Jiangli into the bathroom.

Jiangli saw him pointing at the strange objects inside and started to explain.

“This is called a bathtub, equivalent to the old bathtubs. It was installed by the master before, but after it was installed, he hardly ever used it. I cleaned it when I did a big cleaning before, so you don’t have to worry, Ancestor.”

“The thing above that looks like a stick is called a showerhead. That’s where the water comes from. Blue is for cold water and red is for hot water.”

Xia Xin demonstrated each one for her to see.

Jiangli saw him move his hand, and hot water came out, making her eyes widen, “Can all of you people use ‘Mystic Technique’ nowadays?”
