The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 150 - Taken Advantage Of

Chapter 150 - Taken Advantage Of

Xie Pinghuai laughed out loud while holding his tummy when he snapped back to his senses.

So, Teacher Xiao had punished him by asking him to copy a book? Karma sure came quickly! He would tell the people at the academy that Teacher Xiao was buying Pregnancy Talismans!

Teacher Xiao turned his head slowly. His eyes looked scary.

"Senior Sister Mo, this brat from the Xie family is quite mischievous…" Teacher Xiao's voice sounded like he felt wronged.

Xie Qiao could not stand it when Xiao Yurong behaved like that. He was old enough to be her uncle. Age aside, his appearance… Gentle, soft, and scarily fair. He was not the type that she liked!

Now that he was being soft with her, she had gooseb.u.mps all over her body.

"You've worked hard, Junior Brother.. They're children, and they need to be taught. Hit them when they disobey you. Here, I have a ferule. It'll definitely work!" Xie Qiao suddenly rummaged beneath the counter and eventually took out a Dharmic instrument.

It had been consecrated, but it was a ferule indeed.

However, the ferule was slightly different. It was a bramble that was three fingers thick. One end was polished, perfect for holding. There was a pattern of a deity carved on top, while the rest of the stick was filled with thorns!

Teacher Xiao was stunned and looked at the ferule in a daze.

Xie Pinghuai's eyelids twitched. "I don't know you, yet why are you treating me like your enemy!?"

Would he not be seriously injured if the th.o.r.n.y ferule hit him? She was even crueler than his eldest brother!

"I know your eldest sister. This is your sister's intention." Xie Qiao smiled.

Xie Pinghuai's eyelids twitched again. "My Eldest Sister… She dotes on me… She has never hit me before. So… Senior, please keep the ferule to yourself… Ain't Teacher Xiao your Junior Brother? He isn't satisfied with your shop. Why not you use it on him? Teach him a good lesson…"

He ran away as soon as he was done speaking.

Why would he stay? To be hit?

His friends ran as well. They were so fast that Xie Qiao was secretly surprised.

Her brother must have a talent for martial arts. Judging by his lightning speed, he must be a good seed.

Teacher Xiao took over the ferule in a daze. He looked at the bramble and noticed that it did not look like it had just been twisted. He wondered how long it had been set aside to look so s.h.i.+ny. There was even fragrance coming out of it.

No matter what, it was a gift from his Senior Sister.

Teacher Xiao held it carefully.

The thing was too sharp, and there was nothing wrapped around it. He should not place it anywhere close to his body, so he thought he would hold it.

Xie Qiao smiled. "Two taels of silver… please."

Teacher Xiao was stunned. "Two taels of silvers for a th.o.r.n.y stick?"

"That's right. It's been consecrated," Xie Qiao said immediately.

Did he think it was expensive?

However, it had indeed taken great effort to consecrate it.

Back at the Taoist temple, most of the items that needed to be consecrated were pictures of deities. However, the cost was high to draw pictures of deities. She had started brainstorming what she could use to replace that. After some time, she began to polish some bracelets or small items she purchased on the street. She would carve a pattern of a deity on them, or she would inscribe a few simple strokes to replace that.

However, she was not stingy with the consecration ceremony. She did everything—cleansing the evil, burning incense, and chanting all sorts of incantations. There were more than ten steps in total!

It was functional.

Although such a Dharmic instrument could not compare with a deity's picture, it was not too shabby.

Two taels of silver... It was really not expensive.

The moment Xie Qiao frowned, Teacher Xiao offered to pay immediately. "Not expensive, not expensive at all!"

It was so expensive…

Shopkeeper Chang accepted the money immediately and glanced at Teacher Xiao with sympathy. Never had he thought that Teacher Xiao would be taken advantage of.

The shop had just been opened. Many people had come to check it out in the morning, and most of them were surprised that the shop was selling talismans.

Unexpectedly, many Safety Talismans, Pregnancy Talismans, and Money-Magnet Talismans had been sold.
