Chapter 106 The Champions of Yishui

The sudden remark made everyone's head turn. It was Xiao Qi and the rest of the Seven Sisters. She approached us, patting on my shoulder before patting on Zhang Zhigui's shoulder as if wanting us to back down, saying, "We will buy everyone a meal for the trouble today. We'll have it no other way; our brother-in-law's life would have been in danger if not for all six of you!" Zhang Zhigui was flabbergasted to find six women appearing around him suddenly. With a dumbfounded look, he bowed to them. "My greetings. You are..." In what seemed to be a fit of magnanimous profusion, Xiao Qi began introducing her sisters proudly. "Greetings to you too, Brother Zhang. I'm Xiao Qi. This is Xiao Liu, and that's Xiao Wu... That would be Xiao San.." And Xiao San hissed with great annoyance, "Off with you!" With an impish chuckle to Xiao San, Xiao Qi continued again, "Mr. Zhang's wife is the eldest of us Seven Sisters. That is why we are thankful for your help today. But you three are powerful indeed. We have tried everything, still, we could do nothing to hold down our brother-in-law. It's fortunate we have you three here to display your formidable skills!" Zhang Zhigui's face immediately flushed with doubt as he peered at Xiao Qi. "B-but... There was only Shiyan and his two companions earlier... From where did the six of you..." Finally I realized, Zhang Zhigui and his friends were unable to see ghosts! Xiao Qi too was surprised by this and was too bewildered to respond. I took over the conversation and smiled at Zhang Zhigui. "The rest of the Seven Sisters including Xiao Qi are no humans, Brother," I explained tactfully, "They have been in the house all along, although you can't see them." Out of nowhere, Yan Jishi gasped suddenly, "Damned! Wh-what the!" My head turned immediately, and there was Xiao Si, with a tentacular tongue sticking out of her gaping mouth to frighten Yan Jishi!
