Chapter 131: Dispel the Evil Spirit (29)


    “Who are you calling?” Xia Han wrapped his arms around Chuzheng from behind, asking curiously.


    Chuzheng hung up the phone, “No one.”


    Xia Han puffed out his cheeks, muttering, “You won’t even tell me.”


    Chuzheng turned her head and pecked at his pink lips, “Behave, let me go.”


    “Just a little longer.”


    “…Don’t you think it’s really strange for you to be doing this on the balcony?” Chuzheng gestured for him to look outside the vi.


    Two gardeners who were cultivating nts were staring in their direction.


    Even though they were far away, Xia Han’s posture was indeed a bit peculiar…


    Xia Han coughed, released Chuzheng, pulled her into the house, and kissed her against the ss window.


    Chuzheng drew the curtains with one hand, slightly tilting her head to respond to Xia Han.


    It took a while for Xia Han to let her go, as he leaned on her, breathing heavily.<div>


    “I found this at the door just now, for you.”


    Xia Han was holding an envelope.


    It was marked to be received by Chuzheng.


    Chuzheng forcefully embraced him and opened the letter.


    —July 15th, the decisive battle at the Ghost Gate.


    That was all it said.


    Who is this?


    Who is going to the decisive battle?


    Deciding without my consent, isn’t that just hooliganism?


    “Don’t just pick up anything and bring it home.” Chuzheng tossed the letter aside, lecturing Xia Han.


    “But it has your name on it,” Xia Han said, “And I didn’t pick it up; I took it from the mailbox.”


    Chuzheng looked at him.


    Xia Han hesitated, his handsome face full of innocence, “It really wasn’t me who picked it up.”


    Chuzheng continued to look at him.


    Xia Han: “…”


    Xia Han shrank his neck, “Got it.”


    Chuzheng patted his head, “Good boy.”


    This touch feltfortable.


    “Little Beauty, can you stop patting my head… please?” Xia Han’s voice was weak, “Go ahead, you can pat.”<div>


    His head was nearly patted bald.


    Chuzheng didn’t see that the writing on the letter she threw away was slowly disappearing.


    –


    Xia Han couldn’t leave the vi, but others coulde looking for him.<div>


    Xia Han opened the door and, seeing the person outside, frowned slightly, “Uncle Master… Old Taoist Priest, what brings you here?”


    Before the Old Taoist Priest could speak, the young man pointed at something behind Xia Han.


    Behind Xia Han, an Evil Ghost was floating mid-air, looming over them from above.


    “Master, I told you he must be using some crooked, unorthodox methods; look, he’s even in cahoots with an Evil Ghost!” The young man used indignantly.


    Evil Ghost: “…” I’ve reformed!


    “Xia Han.” The Old Taoist Priest said sternly, “Is this Evil Ghost yours?”


    The young man stood inside the door, with lifelike dragon patterns on his cuffs as if they were about to soar into the clouds, entuating his upright posture, his clear and handsome appearance had changed from the young man they remembered.


    “Yes,” the young man nodded.


    “Master, you heard him, he’s actually keeping an Evil Ghost!” the young man became agitated.


    “Xia Han, do you realize what you’re doing?” The Old Taoist Priest’s face darkened slightly; an Evil Ghost… he could actually make an Evil Ghost obey him!


    “I haven’t done anything,” the young man’s voice was soft.


    “You keep an Evil Ghost, how could you not have any malintent?” The young man argued with his neck stiff.


    “I have no such intent,” the young man shook his head, exining, “It was an ident between us, and he hasn’t harmed anyone.”<div>


    “Bah, your word means nothing! How could he be an Evil Ghost if he hadn’t harmed anyone?”


    Evil Ghost: “…” Isn’t it okay for me to have been born as an Evil Ghost?!


    “I killed them!” The Evil Ghost stepped forward, speaking to Xia Han.


    The bully said that he must not be bullied or he would be finished.


    Xia Han: “…”


    Old Taoist Priest: “…”


    Young man: “Master, you heard, you heard that, and he says he hasn’t harmed anyone?”


    Xia Han stopped the Evil Ghost.


    The Old Taoist Priest didn’t make a move either; his gaze shifted towards the vi, “Xia Han, where is that youngdy?”


    “Which youngdy?” They were actually here looking for Little Beauty!


    “You know who I’m talking about.”


    “What do you want with me?”


    The voice came from behind them, and the Old Taoist Priest and the young man both turned around.<div>


    Chuzheng was floating up the steps; this time the Old Taoist Priest and the young man both saw her.


    The Old Taoist Priest was shocked, wondering when she had appeared.


    “Youngdy, where are youing from?” the Old Taoist Priest asked calmly.


    “What business is it of yours?”


    The Old Taoist Priest was at a loss for words: “You’re following Xia Han, without any purpose?”


    “What business is it of yours?”


    Old Taoist Priest: “Xia Han is human, and you are a ghost, you following him…”


    Chuzheng, with a cold face: “Weren’t you the ones who expelled him from the sect? What does his well-being have anything to do with you?”


    Xia Han also said, “Old Taoist Priest, this is my business, there’s no need for you to worry.”


    “Youngdy, you must understand that humans and ghosts have different paths…” The Old Taoist Priestunched into a lengthy discourse, essentially meaning that Chuzheng, as a ghost, should not stay by Xia Han’s side.


    The young man by their side agreed and egged the Old Taoist Priest on to capture Chuzheng and the Evil Ghost.


    So annoying!


    Was this really what he hade to tell him?<div>


    Did he have nothing better to do?


    Chuzheng took out her phone and pressed a few buttons.


    Just as the Old Taoist Priest was getting into his lecture, two Ghost Envoys from the Underworld Office appeared before them.


    The Old Taoist Priest naturally recognized the Ghost Envoys from the Underworld.


    These Ghost Envoys were licensed and were the equivalent of civil servants in the country, not afraid of their Heavenly Masters.


    The Ghost Envoy nced at the Old Taoist Priest then turned to Chuzheng, “Miss Chuzheng, is there something you need?”


    “These two people, disturbing the ghosts.”


    The Ghost Envoy immediately sternly admonished the Old Taoist Priest and the young man: “Heavenly Masters, Miss Chuzheng is legally remaining in the human realm, please do not harass Miss Chuzheng.”


    Old Taoist Priest: “…”


    Young man: “…”


    What was this maneuver?


    She had actually gone to the Underworld Office toin?


    And the usually slow Ghost Envoys, they came so quickly!


    “No, there is an Evil Ghost here!” the young man pointed behind Xia Han.


    But there was nothing behind Xia Han at this moment; where was the Evil Ghost?


    “Howe it’s gone, it was just here?” the young man squeezed past Xia Han, taking a round in the living room: “It was just here, it must be hiding!!”


    Chuzheng’s cold voice rang out: “They are still ndering me now.”


    Young man: “…” Who is ndering you!


    “Master, you saw just now, there was an Evil Ghost here, right?”


    The Old Taoist Priest nodded his head.


    The two Ghost Envoys exchanged a look: “Miss Chuzheng, would it be convenient for us to take a look?”


    Chuzheng, hands in her pockets: “Be my guest.”


    The two Ghost Envoys checked thoroughly but didn’t find any Evil Ghost.


    Ghost Envoy: “Heavenly Master, ndering a ghost that is legally staying in the human realm, ording to the agreement between the Underworld and Heavenly Masters, we reserve the right to sue you forpensation.”


    Young man: “…”


    Old Taoist Priest: “…”


    The young man did not understand why the Ghost Envoys didn’t find the Evil Ghost. He pointed at Chuzheng: “That… she’s with a human!”


    “This is legal,” said the Ghost Envoy. “Miss Chuzheng is not an Evil Spirit. If she wishes to be with humans and does not cause harm to them, it is considered legal behavior.”
