Chapter 86: Since You’re Here, Don’t Leave!
“Uncle, at most you’ll only be able to see footprints. You won’t be able to see what that lust ghost looks like.
“I’m guessing this female lust ghost wants to seize Miss He’s body in one go this time, so she’ll choose the hour when the yin energy is thickest. At the very least, she’ll wait until after midnight. Uncle, you can’t possibly stay up until then, can you?”
Su Keke hurriedly pulled Qin Mochen to sit on the sofa. “Sleep, Uncle. When the female ghost comes, I’ll wake you up. I promise you won’t miss the scene of me catching a ghost.”
Meeting those dark, shining eyes staring straight at him, Qin Mochen could only sigh helplessly and close his eyes as she said.
After her uncle obediently closed his eyes, Su Keke turned to He Rui again. “Miss He, you should sleep for a bit too. With me here, you can sleep without worry.”
He Rui was so touched she almost wanted to cry. She was truly, truly exhausted—she just didn’t dare sleep. Now that someone said this, her whole body relaxed. In less than a minute after closing her eyes, she fell into a dead sleep.
Su Keke sat cross-legged to the side and also closed her eyes, but she didn’t sleep—she was only resting her spirit.
Time ticked by, second after second. When the clock hands pointed to twelve, Su Keke snapped her eyes open. “She’s here!”
Qin Mochen also opened his eyes in the same instant—his gaze was clear, not at all like someone who’d just woken up.
Su Keke shook He Rui awake from her deep sleep.
Right then, the window that had been shut tight actually swung open by itself—no wind at all!
To outsiders, it truly looked like it opened without wind. But in Su Keke’s and He Rui’s eyes, it wasn’t like that.
He Rui instinctively shrank back, eyes wide as she stared at the window. “She’s here! She came in through the window!”
Su Keke lifted her head and saw a female ghost in white. She was clearly wearing a clean little white dress, yet her face was caked in heavy makeup—fiery red lips making her face look even more bluish-white and ashen.
The female ghost reached out and pushed the window open. On the window dusted with flour, two clear handprints appeared.
Qin Mochen couldn’t see the ghost, but the sudden handprints made his brows knit tight.
A gust of icy yin wind swept in.
Qin Mochen understood: this bone-chilling wind was what the girl called the female ghost. That thing had slipped in through the window.
The female ghost glanced over—and actually ignored Su Keke and He Rui completely, her gaze dropping straight onto Qin Mochen.
She stared at him with shameless, lewd eyes, looking him up and down, stripping him with her gaze.
How dare she defile Uncle with her eyes!
Su Keke was furious. She flicked a talisman straight toward the window. The instant it stuck, the open window slammed shut with a loud bang.
“Since you’re here, then don’t leave!”
The female lust ghost didn’t take Su Keke seriously at all. Twisting her waist, she sauntered closer. “A little brat who still smells of milk dares to pretend to be a Celestial Master catching ghosts? Hee-hee-hee… This is between me and this woman. You’d better not meddle in other people’s business.”
Qin Mochen couldn’t see her, and couldn’t hear her voice either, but he saw two rows of footprints appear on the floor—high-heel prints.
Those footprints were moving closer.
Su Keke held a peachwood sword in one hand and talismans in the other. “You’ve already become a sha-spirit. I can’t let you go today. If you have anything to say, I’ll give you five minutes.”
The female ghost ignored her again and looked at He Rui with displeasure. “The contract isn’t over yet. You want to break it? And you even found a little girl to catch me? He Rui, I didn’t force you back then.
“But you tricked me!” He Rui trembled all over—whether from anger or fear, she didn’t even know.
“Tricked you? When did I trick you? Didn’t I give you money? I was helping you earn it. How can you blame me? I knew you couldn’t do this sort of thing, so I came to help you. If you won’t thank me, fine—but you actually found someone to arrest me?”
He Rui’s lips shook. “You tricked me, and you still want to keep using my body to go around seducing men? In your dreams!”
The female ghost’s crimson lips curved up. In a coquettish voice so sticky it turned cloying, she said, “If you can’t take it, then go die. Why don’t you just kill yourself? I’ve used your body and tainted it with so many men—shouldn’t you be ashamed enough to die?”
He Rui was shaking with rage.
Die? For a split second, she truly had thought about it—but she would never let this thing get what it wanted.
“Why should she die?” The five minutes were up, and Su Keke wasn’t going to be polite anymore. “So you can take advantage when she’s on the verge of death? Hmph—keep dreaming your spring-and-autumn dream.”
The female ghost didn’t care. Her gaze burned as she stared at the man beside Su Keke. “A little girl who hasn’t even grown all her hair wants to learn to catch ghosts like a Celestial Master? But this handsome guy you delivered to my door today is exactly my type. From my rich experience, he’s definitely the quiet sort under the bed, but a wolf on the bed—hee-hee-hee. Big sister loves this kind the most. Look at that figure, that face—truly top-grade. I can’t wait to tumble with him…”
“You foul-mouthed stinking ghost!” Su Keke shouted angrily, raising the peachwood sword and thrusting straight at the female ghost.
She wasn’t talking nonsense—there was a strange fishy stench on that ghost, disgusting and hard to bear.
The female ghost dodged in a hurry. The peachwood sword didn’t hit her heart, but it stabbed her arm.
The female ghost let out a shriek on the spot. Her expression twisted into something ferocious, and in an instant she reverted to how she looked at the moment of death.
The clothes she’d been wearing before were actually “borrowed.” And as for her true self…
Before she died, she had been practically naked. Her face and the exposed skin were covered in bruises and marks from being kicked and beaten—blue and purple all over, horrifying to the extreme.
Su Keke understood at a glance. Instinctively, she covered Qin Mochen’s eyes and snapped, “Uncle, don’t look! This female ghost has no shame—she isn’t even wearing pants!”
Qin Mochen: …
He moved the little girl’s paw away and said calmly, “I can’t see.”
Only then did Su Keke let out an “Oh,” and withdrew her hand.
The female ghost seized the moment and lunged at He Rui.
He Rui screamed, frightened out of her wits, and turned to run.
Su Keke’s expression changed abruptly. “Don’t run around!”
She had a talisman stuck on He Rui. In her panic, He Rui ran so wildly that she actually rubbed the talisman off her body.
The ghost’s baleful aura grew heavier, and in the instant she pounced, she successfully entered He Rui’s body.
He Rui ran for a few steps, then suddenly stopped. She turned around and let out a giggling laugh toward Su Keke.
He Rui’s face was quite pretty—delicate and refined—but with that laugh, she forced a lecherous, creepy feeling onto it. “She’s been possessed by me so many times. Her yin is flourishing and her yang is weak—she can’t resist me anymore.”
She stroked her own face, thoroughly satisfied. Even if it was only a clean, modest kind of beauty, with a bit of dressing up, it would still be presentable.
“Believe me, I’m doing this for her own good too. I’ve already wrecked this body of hers beyond repair—living on won’t be easy for her anyway. She might as well give this body to me. From now on, I’ll be filial to her parents in her place.”
Su Keke was stunned. “You… you’re the most shameless ghost I’ve ever seen.”
“Get out of her body right now, or I won’t be polite!” Su Keke frowned as she warned.
“He Rui” burst into loud laughter, looking utterly fearless. “If you have the ability, then destroy her soul along with mine.”
