Lu Miao reminded the two on the other side of the screen to quickly dress the doll and put on the jewelry.

Keke looked at the eerie clothes on the table and hesitated to touch them.

With a determined expression, Ning Yun took them and began to put them on the doll.

Seeing Ning Yun’s actions, Keke mustered her courage and picked up the jewelry, putting them on the doll as well.

Both of them were fumbling and rushing.

The final step was to use their fingertip blood to give the doll its eyes. Before Keke could prick her finger, there came a series of knocks on the door,

“Bang, bang, bang.”

Keke’s face turned pale instantly, “I-is it… Is it the wedding party arriving?”

As if to respond to her question, a chilling cold air blew in through the door, instantly lowering the room’s temperature.

They felt like they were in an ice cave; the hot breath from their mouths was visible, and the hairs on their arms stood on end.

The knocking on the door persisted, and a layer of white frost slowly spread into the room from the gap under the door, quickly covering half of the living room.

Terrified, they clung to each other, trembling, “M-Master, what should we do?”

“Only one minute left. Prick your finger immediately, give the doll its eyes, then Keke, hide in the bedroom, cover your wound, and lock the door. Don’t reveal your presence.”

“Ning Yun, go open the door. Remember, no matter what you hear, don’t look, don’t speak!” Lu Miao quickly instructed through the phone.

Trembling, Keke picked up a needle from the table and stabbed her finger forcefully, a bead of blood instantly forming at her fingertip.

The thing outside seemed to sense her presence; the knocking paused for a moment and then became urgent, as if urging them to hurry.

“Quick,” Lu Miao urged on the phone.

Keke shakily pointed the needle at the doll’s eyes, hesitatingly looking at Ning Yun beside her, “Can you do it yourself?”

“I’ll be fine. You go inside quickly, there’s no time.” Ning Yun pushed her into the bedroom.

The knocking on the door was deafening, as if it would break down the door and rush in the next second.

Ning Yun took a deep breath, mustered her courage, walked to the door, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, held her breath, and with one motion, pulled open the door.

An icy chill swept over her, causing Ning Yun to shiver involuntarily.

“The auspicious time has come. The bride may board the sedan.” An ethereal voice echoed in her ears.

Ning Yun clenched her teeth tightly, making no sound.

There were no footsteps; the room fell completely silent, as if it had turned into an icy tomb.

Time seemed to pass endlessly. Ning Yun couldn’t help but open her eyes slightly.

A long line of figures dressed in red formed a procession. They seemed to carry an eerie aura, making it impossible to see their faces clearly. In the middle of the line, a red sedan chair was being carried, floating towards the outside.

Suddenly, the figure closest to Ning Yun stopped and slowly floated over to her.

Lu Miao on the phone could only sigh helplessly. Curiosity could sometimes lead to trouble, but some people couldn’t control their curiosity.

When Ning Yun saw the terrifying face up close, she almost couldn’t hold back a scream. She quickly closed her eyes and covered her mouth with her hand.

Her heart was pounding so loudly it almost deafened her.

The chilling cold air gently brushed past her ear.

Just when her spirit was about to break under the pressure, Lu Miao’s voice finally came through the phone.

“It’s alright now. They’ve gone.”

Ning Yun’s legs gave way, and she sat on the floor, slowly opening her eyes.

The frost and coldness in the room seemed to disappear in an instant.

She looked around the room, and besides the doll they had made on the sofa, everything else appeared unchanged. The bundles of ghost money on the table were still neatly arranged, as if no one had ever been there.

Ning Yun loudly told Keke that it was safe to come out now.

Seeing Ning Yun sitting on the floor, Keke hurriedly went over and helped her up, “Are you alright?”

Ning Yun wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with her hand, “I’m fine.”

The ordeal was finally over, and the two of them looked at the half-table of ghost money on the coffee table, feeling unsure of what to do with it.

“Master, how should we handle this stuff?” Keke asked. “Just find a place and burn it all,” Lu Miao replied.

Finally relieved, the two of them let out a sigh.

Lu Miao was about to end the video call when Ning Yun nervously spoke up,

“Master, I won’t be in any danger, right?”

“You’ll be fine. Just try not to go out at night for the next few days. Visit a nearby temple and light some incense; that should dispel any lingering negative energy,” Lu Miao advised.

Ordinary people who encountered supernatural phenomena like Ah Piao might not get hurt, but they could still be affected by negative energy and experience minor illnesses. Lighting incense at a temple could help cleanse them of any negative influence.

Ning Yun nodded busily, “Got it. Thank you, Master.”

After ending the video call, Lu Miao received the 100,000 yuan gratitude gift sent by Keke and exchanged more thanks before going offline.

She had slept a little later than usual last night, and this morning she managed to sleep in for half an hour.

At the dining table, only she and Lu Yinan were present.

“Where’s Jinxi?” Lu Miao asked curiously.

“He has already left,” Lu Yinan replied.

Lu Miao glanced at the time. Although she slept in for half an hour, wasn’t this the usual time when Gu Jinxi would wake up? Why was he acting so differently today?

Since yesterday, she had noticed something odd about Gu Jinxi. What was going on with him?

Lu Miao pondered with her hand on her chin.

The Lingyue Manor was only a fifteen-minute walk from Zhenhai High School, so after moving here, Lu Miao would walk to school every day.

On her way, she passed by a shopping center, where a huge 3D display screen was playing a famous foreign luxury brand advertisement.

Although Lu Miao was known to be a big spender, she never paid attention to luxury goods. Her extravagant spending was mainly on materials and equipment she needed. She had never been interested in luxury items.

Today, she noticed it because the person in the advertisement looked familiar.

She stood there with interest, watching for a while. As the prime location in Luo city and a top-notch shopping center, SKP charged exorbitant fees for advertising on its outdoor screens.

The one-minute-long advertisement played continuously without any interruption, and just the advertising fee was astronomical.

Lu Miao continued walking to school. In addition to SKP, the other two shopping centers along the way also had large screens displaying the same advertisement.

When she arrived at school, it was no surprise that almost all her classmates were discussing the advertisement. After all, it was an internationally renowned luxury brand that even many top celebrities in the entertainment industry couldn’t secure endorsements for. And with the advertisement playing on screens everywhere, it was hard for them to miss it.

Moreover, the person in the advertisement was someone they all knew.

Lu Miao walked straight to her seat and sat down. There was still some time before class, and she was just about to close her eyes and get some more rest.

In the blink of an eye, the lively classroom suddenly fell silent..
