CHAPTER 18: CHAPTER 17: THIS GIRL IS SUCH A POWERFUL EXPERT!?

The old Daoist was on all fours, crawling backward, trying to get as far away from the female ghost as possible.

There was no time to care about his pitiful condition now.

"Don’t come over here!"

"You stay away!"

He screamed hoarsely, terrified to the extreme.

Because he could feel how powerful the ghost in front of him was!

Actually, the old Daoist wasn’t entirely a swindler. A long time ago, he learned some tricks from a master, and then used those small skills to scam others.

Today, upon hearing such a high offer, he got greedy.

How could he have known there would really be a ghost!

After all, in his over ten years in the business, he’d never actually seen one.

He thought he could just put on a show here, pose a bit, and then perform a so-called exorcism in front of everyone to easily earn a million.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he’d rather starve to death by the roadside than take this job.

Now, he just wanted to save his old life.

He moved for ages, seemingly exerting great effort, yet only covered a little over a meter. As long as that female ghost in red took a step forward, she could easily claim his life.

But it seemed that puddle of urine thoroughly cut off the ghost’s intention to move forward.

Wishing she could detour around it.

The look of disdain couldn’t have been more obvious.

She dragged a chair and sat far from the old Daoist, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Chen Yuting in the corner.

"Clearly, you promised to marry me back then. How can you deny it now?"

Seeing the others looking at him, Chen Yuting shouted angrily, "Don’t talk nonsense!"

"When did I ever say I wanted to marry you?"

"My wife will only be Nian Nian."

As he spoke, he pulled Su Nian’s hand to show everyone.

The female ghost’s face darkened immediately upon hearing this.

Her black pupils stared at him fiercely, full of murderous intent, "Yes, you’re getting married, that’s why I’m even angrier!"

How could she possibly watch the two of them get married?

"So you caused that car accident?" Due to anger, a bit of courage rose in Chen Yuting’s heart, "Just to separate us by life and death?"

"Hmph." The female ghost snorted coldly.

It was obvious she acknowledged it.

"You promised before."

"So you can’t marry someone else."

"Your wife can only be me."

Faced with this situation, Chen Yuting was going crazy.

He never expected to encounter someone causing trouble like this,

He couldn’t even remember meeting this woman in the past.

In the end, it was Mu Yunchu who provided an answer for him, "It was three lifetimes ago."

The female ghost looked at Mu Yunchu, her eyes containing not fear but appreciation.

After all, she inadvertently spoke on her behalf just now.

"That’s right." She nodded in agreement.

They were a couple three lifetimes ago.

"I was a rich man’s daughter." The ghost began telling her story, her expression softened with tenderness, "And you were the top scholar back then. We fell in love at first sight and got married soon after. Our love was as strong as gold."

"But unfortunately..."

The ghost’s expression dropped.

"For some reason, our family fell into decline, and we died early. Before drinking that poisoned wine, we swore to be together for all lifetimes."

But later, for some unknown reason, she didn’t reincarnate and became a vengeful spirit instead.

The promise with her husband remained in her heart, and for hundreds of years, she kept searching.

"I finally found you, and yet you want to marry someone else."

"You deceiver, liar!"

"Even if I have to kill you, I must have you marry me!"

Her description was simple, yet it told of her tragic hundreds of years.

If putting oneself in her shoes, who could accept such changes?

"But you should know that your fate ended three lifetimes ago." Mu Yunchu’s voice was chillingly calm.

Although there is talk of soul reincarnation, relationships between people don’t necessarily end after one life. But Mu Yunchu could see that their ties had long ended.

"Forcibly taking him, not only would you incur a blood debt, but you won’t gain anything."

Moreover, with reincarnations over hundreds of years, the present Chen Yuting was no longer her husband from back then.

Yet, the female ghost was clearly trapped in her own mental knot.

No matter what Mu Yunchu said, it no longer registered.

"I don’t care, I don’t care."

"I must take him with me!"

Her tone was firm, as she suddenly looked fiercely at Chen Yuting.

Her gaze was vicious, and the next second, she teleported right in front of him.

Not doing so would mean disappointing her hundreds of years of lonely wandering in the world.

When the others saw the female ghost appear in front of them like that, they screamed in fear.

It was Chen Hai Zhou who suddenly thought of something, hurriedly pulling a talisman from his pocket.

It was one of the unused talismans the old Daoist had left for him to place in the house.

He raised his hand with his eyes closed, holding the talisman paper in front of the ghost.

"Don’t come closer, don’t come closer!"

It had to work, it had to be useful!

Alas, his last prayer was in vain.

The so-called ten-thousand-yuan talisman paper had no effect on her.

The female ghost laughed coldly, looking at them as she took the talisman and tore it into pieces right in front of their eyes.

What kind of thing, thinking it could drive her back?

"Useless, no one can save you tonight."

She meant Chen Yuting.

Seeing Mu Yunchu also standing by his side, she frowned,

"I don’t want to kill unnecessary people, I just want to take Chen Yuting."

"As long as you don’t stop me, I won’t harm you."

She actually had a good impression of Mu Yunchu.

That’s why she was willing to let it slide.

However, Mu Yunchu was not grateful at all.

She shook her head, "I’m sorry, I can’t let you take him."

The female ghost frowned, "Then don’t blame me!"

She raised her hand, gathering her power, her five fingers clawed, the sight of her blood-red nails alone was a great psychological shadow.

Not to mention the thought of those nails about to pierce into them.

However, the female ghost did not pierce anyone with her claws, instead, she cast an immobilization spell.

Everyone felt their bodies unable to move, only their eyes could blink.

"I don’t want to harm you all, nor do I want to waste time missing the auspicious hour."

Wasting the time for the wedding was a big deal.

As she spoke, she slowly reached out her hand.

But unexpectedly, just as she was about to touch Chen Yuting, another hand reached her even faster.

Mu Yunchu brought her index and middle fingers together, lightly touching the ghost’s arm.

In an instant, it felt like being scorched by a blazing fire, searing pain swept through.

"Hiss!"

The female ghost hurriedly withdrew her hand, looking at the charred black spot on her clothes in disbelief.

She actually... got injured?

Furthermore, her immobilization technique was also dispelled.

This beautiful girl actually used some method to cause her real harm!

The others were so scared their eyes almost popped out.

They shifted their eyes to the widest angle, staring in shock at the calm and unruffled Mu Yunchu.

Terrified at heart.

What the hell?

This girl turned out to be such a powerful expert!?
