"What happened to you, several Taoist priests? Have you offended some deity with your misdeeds, and now you're here to face punishment?"
As soon as she said this, the faces of the Taoist priests turned pale and then flushed, feeling a chill run down their spines, unable to stop trembling.
Seeing that the priests were frozen in place, Wang Shoucai furrowed his brows and shouted, "It seems this evil spirit has quite a deep cultivation." With that, he snatched a basin filled with dog blood from a servant and walked towards Xia Muxin.
Xia Muxin playfully made a face at the Taoist priests. Then, with her palm open, she revealed a handful of sharp thorns that dazzled their eyes. She slightly bent down, and the thorns shot out in a brilliant arc towards Wang Shoucai's feet.
Wang Shoucai was already a miser; today, to avoid bad luck, he had taken off his cloth shoes and had the servant fetch him some straw sandals for convenience in throwing them away. He always held himself in high regard and looked down on Xia Muxin. Moreover, with several Taoist priests blocking his view, he completely missed her actions. After walking a few steps, he felt a slight prickling pain in his foot. He frowned, thinking there was something wrong with the straw sandals. But after taking a few more steps, he realized something was off; his legs felt numb and he could hardly lift them. Soon after, both legs completely lost sensation.
Seeing that he was immobilized, Xia Muxin clapped her hands and approached Wang Shoucai with a wicked smile. Her eyebrows curved like crescent moons as she said something baffling: "Lord Wang, what's wrong? Uh, why did you splash dog blood all over yourself?"
The villagers stood outside the Thatched Cottage, about ten meters away. Xia Muxin was small in stature and had the Taoists providing cover, so no one noticed when she flicked the basin of dog blood from Wang Shoucai's hands.
However, she paused before making her move; after completing it, she quickly retreated to her original position. The crowd only heard a loud crash as the basin fell to the ground, spilling dog blood everywhere—including on the Taoist priests.
The villagers rushed over with wide eyes to see what had happened but found Xia Muxin trembling as she hid behind Summer Forest, mumbling, "Wah wah, Dad, it's so scary! Lord Wang must be possessed by an evil spirit; otherwise, how could all that dog blood have splashed on him while those Taoists were performing their rituals? He's already ruthless; what if he turns into a demon and kills everyone in our village?"
Evil spirits are generally most afraid of dog blood. At that moment, some blood splattered onto Xia Muxin's feet, yet she remained unharmed. Meanwhile, Wang Shoucai and the Taoist priests wore bitter expressions on their faces, their lips moving without uttering a word for quite some time.
Xia Muxin's few simple words ignited the villagers' protective instincts. A few strong men grabbed the unconscious Wang Shoucai and pushed him to the ground before starting to punch and kick him.
With the leader taking charge, the other villagers quickly followed suit, rolling up their sleeves to join in. The few Taoist priests were also caught up in the fray, each one ending up with bruised faces. Even the Wang family's servants who came to help returned with injuries.
In the end, everyone halted their actions at Xu Lao Si's shout. Wang Shoucai was supported back by a few unsteady servants, while the Taoist priests were carried back by Meng Family's people.
"Muxin, Gui Lian said you captured the Serpent God. Is that true?"
