That night.
The full moon hung high in the sky.
Wu City, Yumin Street.
It was already four in the morning, and there were hardly any cars on the
desolate street.
However…
There were two girls strolling under the streetlight.
One of them had short hair, the other wore a single ponytail; who else could it be other than Yang Yin and Liu Shishi?
They were dressed identically in qipaos that were evocative of the Republic of Da Xia period. Sleeveless, ivory with little blue flowers embroidered on them.
They bore a similar aesthetic to “blue and white porcelain .
The slits on the sides of the qipao revealed their fair thighs with each sway of their walk, lending them an air of allure and temptation.
“Sister Yang Yin…this…how can you wear such an exposing outfit outdoors?
Liu Shishi, unaccustomed, instinctively tried to cover the slits at her thigh area. She questioned, “Who on earth designed this? Aren't they afraid of a wardrobe malfunction?”
“Elder sister, you'll get used to it.”
“Look at the women today. They dare to go out in shorts and lingerie… did you forget that video we saw yesterday? Some Western women even stripped completely naked in a stadium filled with thousands of people…
As opposed to Liu Shishi, Yang Yin was entirely casual about it. The two ghost girls, living in different eras, had vastly dissimilar personalities.
Liu Shishi existed during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, a more conservative era.
Meanwhile, Yang Yin lived during the ideological explosion of the Republic age. She had studied in foreign countries and was, naturally, more open-minded.
As the two were chatting, all of a sudden
in the night, a sinistral wind picked up, and money, as if floating down from the sky, started falling abruptly. Then, fog-like Yin energy rose from the street in front of them, out of which emerged a large, lively procession, complete with gongs and drums.
“Huh?”
“Is someone getting married?”
Liu Shishi exclaimed in surprise, “Such a large convoy… When did such a powerful character emerge within a radius of a hundred miles from Wu City? How dare they parade themselves in the public? I wonder if it's a demon or a ghost?”
The procession had reached them, carrying the bride in a beautifully decorated palanquin.
Upon seeing the paper figures, Yang Yin's face changed, and she quickly pulled Liu Shishi back, whispering, “Sister Shishi, if I'm not wrong, this should be the Second Miss of the Yue family getting married.”
“Oh?”
Liu Shishi asked, “So, is this Second Miss from the Yue family a demon or a ghost?”
Admittedly, she was a Ghost King.
But strictly speaking, she couldn't be considered a local ghost of Xi Xia.
After all, her tomb was in Changan, some 800 kilometers away from Wu City. Moreover, Liu Shishi had been in a “sleeping state” for years and only woke up a month ago.
However, she was in a dazed state then and couldn't remember anything. She floated aimlessly until she came across Xu Yang, following him all the way
home.
That's why, at first, she was inseparable from Xu Yang, even following him to the toilet.
So, Liu Shishi did not know as much about Wu City as Yang Yin did.
“I haven't met the Second Miss from the Yue family myself, but in our Xi Xia's supernatural circle, she is referred to as the 'mad woman'; hardly anyone dares to provoke her!”
Liu Shishi said, “Her power is said to be incredible. Among the ranks of the Red
Robe level, she is considered top-tier.”
“Top-tier Red Robe. Quite impressive indeed.”
Liu Shishi nodded and then shook her head, commenting, “Just one Red Robe daring to show off like this? Seems like there aren't formidable masters in the Xi Xia ghost world.”
“Elder sister may not know, Miss Yates has an older sister who is one of the Ghost Kings managing Xi Xia Ghost Market. With support from the Lord of the Ghost Market, not even ordinary Ghost Kings or Demon Kings dare to mess with Miss Yates.”
“It's said that the two sisters of the Yue family were folk heroes in the martial world while alive, well-versed in all kinds of unusual arts, especially the Paper Cutting Skill. They can cut paper into life forms… look at that wedding procession, all paper dolls.”
Yang Yin was very familiar with the 'Xi Xia ghost world'.
After all, she was 'local'.
And frequently lurked in the Ghost Market, so it made sense she knew quite a bit.
Hearing about Miss Yates' connection to the Xi Xia Ghost Market, even Liu Shishi looked slightly apprehensive. Her tone shifted as she said, “Ghosts and humans walk separate paths. Why would Miss Yates send people into the city to marry?”
“Could it be, she wants to marry a man from the human world?”
At this moment.
The grand wedding procession reached the two of them, directly passing through their bodies without slowing down.
From the procession, a paper man detached and delivered an invitation to Yang Yin and Liu Shishi, saying, “Both of you are invited to our mistress's joyous day. She has ordered us to entertain all guests. We hope you would grant us the honor of joining us at the Yue Mansion for a celebratory drink.”
Liu Shishi accepted the invitation, glanced at it.
She found the invitation carried a strong Yin energy. The energy transformed into a blood-red character 'Yue', which was quite miraculous.
She looked at the bridal sedan but there seemed to be something blocking her view, preventing her from seeing through it.
Of course.
With Liu Shishi's abilities, if she insisted on looking, the energy wouldn't be able to stop her. But since she had no grudge against Miss Yates, who even kindly invited her for a drink, it wouldn't be polite to do so.
So, she said, “Thank you for the invitation… Let me return home to get a gift before I go to Yue Mansion for a drink.”
“Your presence will be highly appreciated… You just need to activate the energy on the invitation, it will naturally guide you to Yue Mansion.”
The paper man bowed, turned back towards the procession, and disappeared into the streets with the pervasive Yin energy.
“Elder sister… why did you accept the invitation?”
“I haven't seen a wedding between a ghost and a human before… Of course, I want to go and see it.”
Liu Shishi smiled, a faint blush appeared on her face. Who knows what she was thinking as she said, “Let's go back to the shop first. As we're going to congratulate someone, we can't go empty-handed… there should be quite a few things left in the shop, we can select a few later.”
Having said that.
The two of them set off for the funeral shop not far away.
As they walked, Yang Yin laughed, “Speaking of Miss Yates' wedding, I recall an interesting thing… it is said that Miss Yates loves storytelling, fascinated by tales of Ning Chaisen, Nie Xiaoqian, New White Madam and Xu Xian.” “So every time the Ghost Market is open, she would throw gold ingots under the big elm tree at the Ghost Gate, saying that if the gold is picked up by a man from the human world, it means they are fated…”
Liu Shishi praised, “Miss Yates is quite a clever ghost… it seems she finally found her destined one!”
“Isn't it?”
Yang Yin laughed so hard she nearly bent over, “Miss Yates has been throwing gold ingots for 10 years. It's said that some were picked up a few times. The first one was a lecherous old man, who was killed by Miss Yates that day.”
“The second person who picked up the gold was a chubby man… Miss Yates didn't like fat guys, so she made him into a fool.”
“The most unlucky one was the third person. He had a notorious reputation in the Northwestern martial world, known as a womanizer… he was hacked to death by Miss Yates… after that, this story spread among the martial world and since then, no one dared to pick up gold under the big elm tree at the Ghost Gate in the Xi Xia Ghost Market…”
Liu Shishi was also amused, “So, how did someone pick it up this time?”
Yang Yin: “Perhaps it's some fool who entered the Ghost Market for the first time… didn't know about the Ghost Market prohibition… huh?”
She suddenly paused.
Her beautiful big eyes blinked, looking at Liu Shishi.
As their gazes met, a strange feeling rose in their hearts…
Wlioosh!
They turned into a wisp of Yin energy together and quickly flew back to the funeral shop. However, inside the shop was pitch black; where was Xu Yang?
“Sister…”
Yang Yin panicked, “No…it can't be this coincidental, can it?”
Liu Shishi, on the other hand, had a stern face and said, “Where is the mobile phone? Call him!”
10 minutes later.
Yang Yin shook her head holding the mobile phone, “Shishi, no one is answering. But you don't need to worry. Maybe Master Xu is still in the Ghost Market.”
Despite these words.
Liu Shishi still felt an inexplicable worry.
After thinking about it, she said, “Pack up, let's go to the Yue Mansion.”
Inside the bridal palanquin.
Xu Yang felt like he'd turned into a puddle of mud, unable to move or speak.
Only his thoughts and eyes could move.
His mobile phone rang seven, perhaps eight times in his pocket.
However, he had no way to answer.
He could distinctly feel the swaying of the palanquin going on, rocking constantly and seeming to move very quickly.
“Damnit!”
“What's the deal with that crazy old lady?”
“A ghost that can also use Lovemaking Lust?”
Xu Yang was cursing in his heart.
This ghost was utterly without martial etiquette…If today's incidents get out, how will he ever mix in the martial world again?
They would say that Master Xu, Celestial Master Xu, was misled by a ghost woman and taken away as a son-in-law?
“No way!”
” I cannot sit and wait for death…”
Gradually, Xu Yang calmed down and thought: “Since my mind can work, then I can also operate the system!”
He started chanting in his mind.
The system attribute interface comes out at his command.
[Name]: Xu Yang
[Age]: 22
[Daoist Arts]: Divine Ascension Scripture
[Daoist Skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill, Wulei Rules, Paper Cutting Skill
[Martial Arts]: Land Flight Skill
[Cultivation]: Qi Refining Realm 8th Level
[Daoist Artifact]: Supreme Purification Seal
[Merit Points]: 3850
[Storage Space]: 10 cubic yards
“3850 merit points?”
“Why are there only so few…Bloody hell, system, have you been deducting my merit points secretly?”
Seeing the numbers after the [Merit Points], Xu Yang felt a strong urge to vomit blood.
Luckily, every merit point obtained by the system is recorded.
Xu Yang reviewed, and he had earned himself 300 points in total from that “Mirror Ghost Girl”, including the “Ascendance” reward.
The four paper men were rather garbagey.
They burned too quickly; from ignition to ashes, only 10 seconds had elapsed, each giving him a “+10 merit points” 10 times, plus the “Ascendance” reward, in total 800 points.
That was 1100 points.
The remaining 2750 points were all brushed from that fleeing ugly red-robed female ghost.
As for the merit points he had “set aside”?
Those were long used to cultivate the “Wulei Rules”.
“After I broke through to Qi Refining Realm 8th Level, I spent over 1000 merit points to stabilize my cultivation…”
“If I squander these 3850 merit points, I should be able to step into Qi Refining Realm 9th Level!”
“Nevermind!”
“At this moment, it's better to improve my cultivation first!”
With this thought, Xu Yang initiated the command.
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -3850.”
Boom!
A wave of mana appeared out of nowhere.
His aura shook, and in an instant, he advanced from the mid-stage of Qi Refining Realm 8th Level to Qi Refining Realm 9th Level.
The feeling of weakness vanished in an instant. Xu Yang sat up abruptly, laughing out loud: “I made it…Qi Refining Realm 9th Level, and I even managed to free myself from the dazed state during the breakthrough-Huh?”
Before he could finish his words, Xu Yang's expression changed drastically.
He can keenly smell…that unique fragrance was appearing again.
Just as he was about to get up and rush out of the bridal sedan.
The familiar sense of dizziness returned.
“Bloody…”
Xu Yang only had time to curse before collapsing back in the sedan!
PS: My kid has an exam tomorrow. This year he's a new first grader, and after only one week of physical classes, the rest of the year was online learning at home. I helped him revise some phonics and new words, so today's update is a bit late. Everyone for understanding. Good night everyone.
