Chapter 678: A Woman Named Ivy
At this moment, the ghostly fire still burned on Ivy's face. But no matter how much pain she felt, Scarlett wouldn't scream. Her only concern now was the safety of her daughter.
"Why should I tell you? This is a task given to me by Isadora," Emily proudly curled her lips.
Isadora's spirit appeared in front of Scarlett, "What's this? Are you starting to worry about your daughter? If only you had known earlier..."
Scarlett, let me tell you, no matter how far I go, no matter how long I wait, I will make your two daughters pay the price, just like you, living a life worse than death.
What's more, I will raise some wild men to torment your daughters every day, right in front of you. I want you to see with your own eyes how they are ravaged by these wild men! Hahaha, hahaha..."
"Do you dare?"
Scared by Isadora's crazed and twisted laughter, Scarlett trembled with fear. What would she do if that day really came? How would she protect her daughters?
Lost in thought, suddenly Kayla's voice broke through, "Isadora sister, since you're a ghost with spells, you must have a way to help us win first place, right?"
"What first place?" Isadora's spirit had a serious expression.
Kayla hurriedly continued, "There's a newly opened bun shop that's hosting a big eating contest. The first prize is one million dollars, and the second prize is one hundred thousand. The rewards are quite high. My cousin and I have both signed up. If you use your spells to help us win first place, or even second place, we'll be rich! Then, you won't have to live in such a stinky place like the sewer anymore. We can find you a clean place to live!"
"Yes, a clean place," Emily chimed in immediately.
"Hmm, good points!" Isadora's spirit nodded. "Alright then, you prepare a small piece of jewelry or charm with strong Yin energy for me to hide in. During the competition, I'll use my spells to help you, and then use them to disrupt your opponents. By then, first place or second place will be yours.'
"Really?" Emily and Kayla were overjoyed.
Kayla raised her wrist and showed the ancient jade bracelet on it. "This bracelet was dug out from a tomb, so it must have Yin energy. How about hiding in here?"
"Perfect!" Isadora's spirit was satisfied.
Listening to the conversation between the three, Scarlett suddenly had an idea to protect her daughter. Since this was an eating contest, the buns would definitely be unlimited. She could use the competition to eat herself to death! As long as she died, she would be able to reach the underworld. Then, she would also become a spirit like Isadora and be able to protect her daughter.
Why fear anything for the sake of a ghost, the soul of Isadora? As long as the soul of Isadora desires to harm her two daughters, she will cling tightly to the soul of Isadora in the underworld, preventing her from ever succeeding, thereby protecting her daughters, right?
In fact, Scarlett had already lost the will to live after settling her two daughters down 26 years ago. However, when she attempted to take her own life, the soul of Isadora suddenly appeared and forced her to surrender her daughters. For the sake of protecting her daughters, she endured great hardships to stay alive. She believed that as long as she was alive, she could protect her two daughters.
But now, she no longer thinks this way. The soul of Isadora has cultivated spells, and the taste of the fierce ghost fire is truly unbearable. She does not want her daughters to suffer this fate. She is but a mortal, an aging elderly lady. Continuing to live, she no longer has the ability to protect her daughters. Only by becoming a ghost after death can she become a match for the soul of Isadora!
With this thought in mind, Scarlett decides to immediately sign up. Unfortunately, at this moment, Emily asks, "Isadora, are you afraid of snakes?"
"Not afraid! I am a ghost, I fear no one except the King of the Underworld!" says the soul of Isadora.
Emily rolls her eyes and says, "There's a woman named Ivy who owns a large python, blue in color and highly poisonous. I've heard that this snake might have been eaten, and I'm worried that it will steal the first place in the eating contest."
