Xiao Buli turned to leave, but the old village chief grabbed hold of him, "Righteous Warrior, you can't just abandon us. I beg you."

Xiao Buli chuckled and naturally chose to accept.

Suddenly, a villager screamed in terror, as though something had grabbed him, "Oh heavens, something just grabbed me, no good, there's a ghost!"
