"My Tenant is a Female Ghost" features a female ghost.
"You want to take it away? Did you get my permission first?"
Yin Soldiers are a mystical existence; wherever they go, the living flee, and evil spirits retreat. They embody both righteousness and wickedness. However, despite their fearsome reputation, they were once mere mortals, not deities.
When the Yin Soldiers saw Bai Zhuo, not only did he dare to look them in the eye, but he also spoke boldly. The leader of the Yin Soldiers, wielding a sword, suddenly produced a long whip from nowhere and lashed it toward Bai Zhuo!
With his hands empowered by soul energy, Bai Zhuo snorted coldly and easily caught the whip. The Yin Soldiers were taken aback by his audacity to resist, and their anger flared. They uttered strange syllables, causing the mist in the cafeteria to thicken ominously. The thirty or so Yin Soldiers drew their long knives in unison, their movements synchronized, sending a chill down Bai Zhuo's spine.
Bai Zhuo was deeply worried about Yang Liu's safety and recalled how he had suffered unjustly last time. Anger surged within him as memories of that day in the hospital flashed through his mind.
He removed his glasses, his eyes shining with determination as he shouted, "You worthless scum! Do you know who I am?"
The thirty or so Yin Soldiers froze in surprise, their masked faces turning toward Bai Zhuo as if they had encountered a terrifying figure. They all took a step back and knelt on the ground in respect.
As the mist in the cafeteria receded, the Yin Soldiers began to dissipate as well, and the resounding military song gradually faded away. They truly retreated!
Bai Zhuo had merely hoped for a stroke of luck and had little confidence in his chances; however, this outcome was unexpected!
"The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons can make ghosts part ways, and Yin Soldiers Borrowing the Path made the Yin Soldiers retreat. And that mysterious woman An Zhi Xi... Who am I really?" Bai Zhuo's doubts intensified.
He recalled the Shikigami Technique from Japanese Onmyoji lore, which included a crucial hand gesture that could communicate with spirits and create illusions similar to He Yuan. Should he find an opportunity to test it on An Zhi Xi? Bai Zhuo pondered.
With the aggressive Yin Soldiers gone, only the terrified Ghost Fetus remained, restrained by Soul-Restraining Talismans.
Bai Zhuo glanced at Yang Liu's pale face and thought it was bad news. Without hesitation, he pulled out the Black Curse "Thunder Emperor Talisman" and pressed it against the back of the Ghost Fetus's head. Before it could even tremble, Bai Zhuo stepped back a few paces and shouted, "Explode!" The sound of thunder echoed through the cafeteria, provoking screams from women and children.
The Black Curse Borrowing Method proved powerful; what was originally finger-thick lightning became three times wider under its influence! Truly a high-level Black Talisman!
A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm appeared out of nowhere and struck the Ghost Fetus. It didn't even have time to scream before it transformed into a wisp of blue smoke and vanished into thin air. Ge Shui Lian closed her eyes and asked, "What happened, Bai?"
Bai Zhuo finally sighed in relief and announced loudly, "It's okay now; everyone is safe! That monster has been eliminated!"
Hearing his words, Miao Xiaoqi, who usually didn’t say much, opened her eyes and rushed over first, hugging Bai Zhuo tightly. “Brother Bai, you’re amazing…”
Bai Zhuo smiled. “Qi is amazing too! If it weren’t for Qi and Shui Lian, I wouldn’t have been able to handle this formidable foe!”
Miao Xiaoqi blushed at the praise and suddenly remembered something. “Brother Bai, what about Yang Liu? How is she?”
Yang Liu lay on the ground, her breathing had already ceased. Bai Zhuo leaned over her chest, listening for a moment; her heartbeat was faint and irregular.
Bai Zhuo thought that as long as he eliminated the Ghost Fetus, Yang Liu’s soul would automatically return to her body. He had underestimated the situation. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
He didn’t want to lose this female friend.
Yang Liu came from a wealthy family, yet she never acted superior. She couldn’t cook, but when Bai Zhuo was busy in the kitchen, she would occasionally help him wash vegetables or cut meat. When they talked, she was quiet and engaged in discussions about the country; it seemed she understood everything. She hated eating celery and cilantro. Once, Bai Zhuo didn’t know she disliked celery and served it to her when he saw she wasn’t eating her vegetables. She tried to sneakily put the celery back when he wasn’t looking but was caught by him, leaving him both amused and exasperated as they spent a long time discussing it. Yang Liu also had a strong side; Bai Zhuo had only seen it when she was on the phone, handling the Tang Jie incident for him. In short, Yang Liu was truly a wonderful girl—she was the best friend Bai Zhuo had ever had.
Just as Bai Zhuo felt helpless, a familiar figure burst through the door. Ge Shui Lian exclaimed in surprise, “Grandpa!”
Bai Zhuo felt as if he had seen a savior; he grabbed Elder Ge’s hand. “Master! Please help me check on my friend. Her soul has been consumed by the Ghost Fetus! Master, please save her!”
Elder Ge wore a grayish-white robe and carried a Peach Wood Sword on his back that looked somewhat inferior compared to the one he had given Bai Zhuo. He pressed his hand against Yang Liu’s neck and asked cautiously, “Ghost Fetus? Where is it now?”
“Master, the Ghost Fetus was eliminated by me along with Senior Sister Shui Lian and that Miaojiang Girl.”
Elder Ge withdrew his right hand and checked Yang Liu’s nostrils with concern, frowning. “Eliminated? I don’t know whether to praise you or scold you.”
Bai Zhuo asked in confusion, “Master, what’s wrong?”
“It’s surprising that the three of you could eliminate the Ghost Fetus. However, now that the Ghost Fetus is dead… your friend is likely in grave danger!”
“What? How could that be!” Bai Zhuo’s heart raced. Earlier, he had subdued the Ghost Fetus and thought it best to act quickly; after driving away the Yin Soldiers, he immediately destroyed the Ghost Fetus without considering any consequences. He slapped himself hard and cursed, “Damn it! It’s all my fault!”
Elder Ge looked at his irresponsible disciple with a sigh and shook his head. “But there is still one way…”
"Bai Zhuo hurriedly said, 'Master, please don't keep us in suspense. Lives are at stake!'
'There is one more method,' Elder Ge replied, 'though it may not necessarily succeed, at least we can give it a try... that is to summon the soul!'
Ge Shui Lian wasn't particularly fond of Yang Liu, but they had spent some time together and could barely be considered friends. She anxiously chimed in, 'Summon the soul? Then let's do it!'
However, Elder Ge shook his head. 'You can't just summon a soul casually. If you're not prepared, it could end up harming your friend.'
'Master, whatever you need, just say it!'
Elder Ge sighed. 'If only it were a few years ago. The Ge Family used to have some specially crafted Spirit Banners. With a Spirit Banner, I would have a fifty percent chance of bringing your friend's soul back. Without a Spirit Banner, not only is the success rate low, but it could also attract Evil Spirits and endanger your friend!'
Bai Zhuo furrowed his brows and asked, 'Spirit Banner? What is a Spirit Banner?'
'A Spirit Banner is just that—a Spirit Banner!' Elder Ge stood up and thought for a moment before adding, 'Oh, the Spirit Banner has another common name: Soul Banner!'
'Soul Banner!' Bai Zhuo and Ge Shui Lian exchanged glances and spoke in unison.
'That's right, Soul Banner! However, the Soul Banners available on the market are merely decorative items without any real spiritual power. I've only seen some decent-quality Soul Banners in the association's warehouse.'
'Master! How long can my friend hold on?'
'At most one hour!'
'Two hours?' Bai Zhuo found Yang Liu's car keys in her bag and rushed out the door, shouting, 'Master, wait for me!'
'Hey! You brat, where are you going?'
...
Soul Banner, Soul Banner! Who would have thought that the Soul Banner I argued about with Su Meiniang last night would become Yang Liu's last lifeline!"
It takes four hours to take a bus from the city center to the suburbs here. It should be faster if you drive yourself! Two hours? I want to be back within an hour! Bai Zhuo started Yangliu's Porsche Panamera, and with a "boom", it traveled a hundred yards in less than four seconds! Overtaking and running red lights along the way attracted numerous abuses from passers-by and drivers. Fortunately, it was night, and there were a lot less cars, but there were still many vehicles blocked at the intersection in the center of Ningcheng. Bai Zhuo didn’t care, he hit the railing and went in the opposite direction, like a car Gone like a rocket. At home, Bai Zhuo opened the door, grabbed a handful of things including Soul Banner from the room, and ran out. Su Meiniang heard the movement of Bai Zhuo in his room and came out. She was wearing a backless red bellyband, short trousers covering her plump buttocks, and her thighs exposed to the air were white and tender, attractive. She was sleepy, wiped the corners of her eyes, covered her mouth and yawned, looking very seductive. Su Meiniang asked cowardly: "Young man, you have a beauty as beautiful as a flower like me at home, why do you Fire run out like a blazing fire?" Bai Zhuo I still don't understand, as a dog It’s a ghost, and it’s Millennium Ghost. Why does she Su Meiniang sleep like a human being? It can only be said that she Su Meiniang is a wonderful flower in Yin Yang Realm. Bai Zhuo hugged the baby in his arms tightly, ignored Su Meiniang, and ran straight out the door. Ever since there was an extra An Zhi Xi in the family, she Su Meiniang seems to have become more "clingy". No, Su Meiniang she quits. I saw Su Meiniang gradually disappearing, appeared in front of Bai Zhuo, stopped him, and said in a sullen voice: "Oh~ Young Master Bai, why did you ignore the woman? Take so much My dear, what's important for me?" Bai Zhuo frowned: "Su Meiniang, don't make trouble, I'm not free now!" After that, he wanted to go around Su Meiniang, but unexpectedly Su Meiniang hit him. The black hair suddenly stretched out and wrapped around Bai Zhuo's feet, freezing him in place. "You surnamed Bai, you are so heartless. You saw all my body and ran away without even saying a responsible word. You also called me an old maid... My sister is not happy. Why don't you come and stay with me tonight~ "What do you mean by "seeing all of your body?" You clearly didn't see anything in the key part, okay? However, Su Meiniang’s coquettish behavior was called Su Ruan. After hearing this, Bai Zhuo’s whole body softened and he almost nodded in agreement. Fortunately, he is relatively determined. He looked at the time and saw that an hour had passed, which was beyond his expectation. Bai Zhuo was anxious and resigned: "Su Meiniang, really don't make trouble, I really have important things to do!" Su Meiniang pretended to be young for only a minute, and asked Bai Zhuo twice, but did not answer twice, and immediately quit, rolling up the non-existent sleeves on his smooth arms, looking like he was about to fight, and shouted : "Hey! Stinky bastard, you are the one who is not punished for not having the house and the tiles are laid on the tiles for the third time, aren't you? Are you still at a disadvantage when I ask you to accompany me? Or are you afraid that I will eat you?" You are the one who is the thief for not being allowed to have the house and the tiles for the first time, right? Depend on! Bai Zhuo was worried about Yangliu's comfort and said impatiently: "Su Meiniang! Are you done yet!" "Oh, you idiot! How dare you talk to me like that!" Su Meiniang put his hands on his hips and cursed: "You bastard, don't leave tonight!"
Bai Zhuo was furious, a clear bell ringing in his mind as he shouted, "Enough!"
Su Meiniang was taken aback, her hair that had been coiled around Bai Zhuo's feet loosening.
With newfound freedom, Bai Zhuo took off running. However, he paused to reflect; the Soul Banner that saved him was given by Su Meiniang. Had he been too harsh with his words? Softening slightly, he explained as he ran, "My friend is dying! I have to save her!"
Bai Zhuo dashed out of the courtyard, not even taking the time to lock his own door. He jumped into the still-running car and sped away with a roar. It had been a while since he left, and Su Meiniang remained in the courtyard, standing there in a daze. A flush appeared on her face, something no ghost should possess. She murmured to herself, "This... this brat, I didn't expect him to have such a domineering side... What was that feeling just now?"
...
Bai Zhuo barreled through the streets, his car barely recognizable after the chaos. But if it meant saving Yang Liu's life, none of that mattered! By the time Bai Zhuo returned to the orphanage, it was already past ten o'clock at night—only ten minutes left!
Ge Shui Lian clutched her dislocated right arm and sighed in relief upon seeing Bai Zhuo's panting figure.
The children had returned to their dormitories under Qin Zhu's comforting words; they would surely be haunted by nightmares throughout the night.
Yang Liu lay flat on a table, Ouyang Shirei and Miao Xiaoqi standing anxiously by her side. Elder Ge had lit nine candles around Yang Liu, forming some sort of formation, while three incense sticks burned before her head, already halfway consumed.
Yang Liu's weak heartbeat had nearly brought her blood flow to a standstill; without breathing, her complexion had turned a deathly gray. Seeing the Soul Banner in Bai Zhuo's hand made Elder Ge's eyes light up. "Brat! What a treasure! You arrived just in time; if you were even a minute later, your friend would have been lost!"
"Master, please start now!"
Elder Ge nodded and inserted the Soul Banner into place. He took a handful of hair he had prepared earlier and placed it into a bowl of clear water. Holding the Peach Wood Sword in one hand and chanting incantations with the other, he brushed the sword’s blade with his left hand. A yellow talisman ignited spontaneously at the tip of the Peach Wood Sword!
"All laws of heaven and earth, Yin-Yang Ancient Banner, summon souls and spirits—Yang Family's Yang Liu, come forth..." Elder Ge placed the burning talisman into the bowl of water. Instead of extinguishing in the water, the flames roared even higher!
About a minute later, as the flames died down, all that remained in the bowl was a single strand of hair!
Elder Ge picked up this strand carefully and began calculating with his fingers. His tone grew heavy as he said, "This is Yang Liu's hair... This is bad; nine burned down to one means nine lives lost for one saved... But it shouldn't be! Did I miscalculate? Is it too late?"
Bai Zhuo's face turned pale as despair washed over him. Ouyang Shirei glanced at Bai Zhuo with concern but remained silent.
“Shui Lian, you all go outside first. Listen to Shui Lian; she is close to you. Bai Zhuo, stay here and call for her!” Ge Shui Lian nodded after hearing this and walked outside the cafeteria, followed obediently by Ouyang Shirei and Miao Xiaoqi.
Elder Ge placed a talisman inscribed with a complex Curse Seal into a bowl, then pulled ten strands of hair from a willow tree and laid them on the talisman. He picked up the Soul Banner, bit his index finger to draw blood, and let it drip onto the Soul Banner while chanting incantations and forming Hand Seals.
“Soul Summoning Talisman, Yin-Yang Soul-Calling Banner… Yang Liu of the Yang Family, return to one from nine, summon the soul from a thousand miles, Supreme True Lord, assist my divine power, Urgent Command!”
Suddenly, the Soul Summoning Talisman in the bowl ignited fiercely but was immediately extinguished by a gust of cold wind.
Elder Ge shouted, “Bai Zhuo! Call out!”
Bai Zhuo was taken aback. Call out? Oh right, summon her!
Realizing this, he cleared his throat and shouted, “Yang Liu! Yang Liu! Come back quickly! Your physical body is here! Come back; I’ll cook for you. I won’t buy celery anymore!”
Elder Ge frowned. “Aren’t you her friend? Don’t you have a deeper bond with her?”
Bai Zhuo’s mind raced as he struggled to think of a better bond. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he shouted, “Yang Liu! Yang Liu! Hurry back! Your physical body is here! As long as you return, I swear I will never peek at you while you bathe again!”
