Reincarnation: My Possessive Beast Husband-Chapter 302 - 303: Peach Wood Can Ward Off Evil and Avoid Misfortune

The Mayor’s facial muscles suddenly twitched twice.

He heh-hehed, "She did kill the four people who found her body back then. However, why she wanted to kill them, I don’t know."

Su Yan pressed further, "Were there only four people who found her body that year?"

"...Yes."

"In that case, she shouldn’t be killing anyone this year.

But from what she told me, it seems she still plans to kill someone.

That suggests there weren’t just four people who discovered her body back then, but five."

Seeing the Mayor’s complexion change again, Su Yan continued,

"Also, she told me she has been greatly wronged. I wonder if the Mayor knows about her grievance?"

"Ah." The Mayor seemed somewhat startled, a quick flash of panic crossing his eyes. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

And his strange expression did not escape the attention of the few people present.

Just as the Mayor was unsure how to respond, the butler came in to report, "Master, the peach tree you requested has been delivered."

The Mayor immediately stood up, smiling apologetically to them,

"Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me for a moment, continue with your meal. If you need anything, just tell my butler, and he will take good care of everyone."

It was then that Xiao Tan spoke up,

"I hear that peach wood can ward off evil and avoid calamities, I wonder if the Mayor seeks the peach tree for this purpose?"

The Mayor’s eyelids gave a slight twitch, then he chuckled,

"So peach trees have this effect, I have learned something new. My quest for peach trees is merely because I like the tree and wanted to plant some around my residence.

However, considering Wuyu Town has always been haunted, using it to secure the house wouldn’t be a bad idea."

After a pause, he continued, "Well then, please excuse me."

"No need for formalities, Mayor, go ahead with your tasks," Su Yan waved cheerfully at him.

The Mayor smiled again before turning to leave.

Once he had departed, the group had no appetite left for food, told the butler they were heading to Princess Mountain, and left the Mayor’s residence.

Arriving once more atop Princess Mountain, they stopped at the place where they had rested the day before.

After a long wait, sure enough, they awaited Old Man Qiao descending the mountain.
