Boss Wang's face was slightly unnatural. "You just need to exorcise the ghost. This ghost is an Evil Spirit. Whether it has a grudge against you or a debt of gratitude, it will harm you."
"Nonsense. Everything in this world has its cause and effect. If you don't provoke it, why would it entangle itself with you?" I couldn't help but feel a bit angry. "Leaving chaos in the human realm damages one's virtue. If it's a matter of karma, it can't be reborn. If there isn't a significant debt or grudge between you, why sacrifice your future lives?"
"Yan Xi, don't get agitated." Mu Xuanche hugged me from behind and pulled me to the side. "Boss Wang, this is the industry rule; you don't need to feel embarrassed. If you don't help, the chances of exorcising the ghost are slim. If you aren't honest with us, we can't guarantee your safety either."
"Well, it's also a karmic connection." Boss Wang pondered for a moment before speaking up. "Let me make this brief. I know this ghost. She was my ex-girlfriend, but we had no feelings for each other. Well, of course, I didn't like her, but she loved me deeply. However, I was tired of a life like a game and broke up with her. I didn't expect she was already pregnant with our child, and on July 7th, she committed suicide."
"Indeed, there are many grievances in wealthy families. Today has been quite an eye-opener," Bai Qiling said softly.
"What good does that do? A scumbag like him deserves to die," I muttered but was silenced by Bai Qiling covering my mouth. "Auntie, do you never spend money? Do you live off the northwest wind?"
"Hmph, Mu Xuanche is rich! If he were my man, I'd turn into a ghost and not let him die ten or eight times; that would be my mercy." I huffed but noticed Bai Qiling giving Mu Xuanche a knowing look while he looked at me with some grievance. "Of course, my Mu Xuanche would never do that." I wrapped my arm around him and shot Bai Qiling a glare as we followed Boss Wang into the villa.
"Hey, the lights won't turn on again!" Boss Wang's voice was filled with fear. "She's here; I knew she wouldn't leave."
"Get your hands off! Don't touch my suit," Bai Qiling said with disgust; he always had a cleanliness obsession and probably didn't dare let go of Boss Wang in the dark.
"Then everyone turn on your phone screens," Mu Xuanche calmly instructed.
"Ah!" As I turned on my phone, I couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yan Xi, what's wrong?"
"Mu Xuanche, Qiling, we've been targeted for a long time." I stared at the phone screen.
"What?" Mu Xuanche frowned as he took the phone from me. "Wax figure? What's wrong? No, that expression..."
"Her face was originally lowered; in the photo, she is indeed smiling at the camera. It seems she has been following us for some time." I tried to keep my hands steady as I faced the phone screen towards Bai Qiling and Boss Wang.
Under the white light, Boss Wang's face lost all color. "It's her! It's her! Master, save me! She still won't let me go! Master! Master..."
"I just realized that I, along with Qiling, didn't notice it earlier. She must have some backing."
"Hehehe, oh, we have guests at home! Junfeng, why didn't you give me a heads-up? I could have prepared better for our visitors," a calm and airy voice echoed from somewhere. Suddenly, two candles lit up in the spacious living room, floating in mid-air as if someone were pulling them from below.
"Xiao Xuanxuan! Let me tell you not to be too arrogant. Do you know who they are? They are the masters I invited to send you to hell! Get ready to be reduced to ashes!" Boss Wang shouted, forcing himself to sound brave. Little did he know that angering the Demon God was a grave mistake.
Sure enough, the flames of the two candles flickered wildly in the darkness. "Oh, you managed to invite some credible ones this time, but do they know the real reason I became a Vengeful Spirit? Did you really tell them the truth? Hehehe..."
Boss Wang trembled with fear, his body shrinking instinctively. However, thinking about us being by his side gave him a bit of courage.
"You... you... don't scare me! I've already passed that point; it's not my fault! This is all your doing," Boss Wang stammered out.
Seeing this, I thought it wouldn't do. Boss Wang was too reckless with his words; what if this Xiao Xuanxuan got even angrier?
So I bravely spoke up, "Miss, we are not bad people and we won't be blinded by Boss Wang's wealth. We mainly came to understand the situation better so that you can reincarnate sooner."
Xiao Xuanxuan's cold voice echoed in the dark room: "Outsiders, I advise you not to meddle in this matter; otherwise, you might end up worse than Junfeng Wang!"
Bai Qiling seemed intrigued and interjected, "What do you mean by that, Taoist Priestess? We are outsiders; how does that matter? This is all Junfeng Wang's doing; why would we suffer more than him if we intervene? Please explain your reasoning."
Xiao Xuanxuan suddenly laughed nervously and spoke in a strange tone: "If you meddle too much and want your lives, it won't be me who takes them."
This confirmed without a doubt that Xiao Xuanxuan had even greater power behind her!
I thought for a moment; we were here to deal with Xiao Xuanxuan's issue and had no other intentions. So I asked, "Could you tell us how you became a Vengeful Spirit?"
Xiao Xuanxuan suddenly let out a piercing scream: "Junfeng Wang, you owe me your life!!"
Junfeng Wang screamed and hid behind Mu Xuanche: "It wasn't me! If you're looking for someone, go find Zhai Suigang; he's the one! He orchestrated everything!"
"Zhai Suigang? A director? It seems that the cause of Xiao Xuanxuan's death is indeed not a simple matter."
Xiao Xuanxuan suddenly distanced herself from us, now only about a hundred and twenty steps away.
Then she spoke, "Are you really going to get involved in this? Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"
I smiled gently at Xiao Xuanxuan and said, "We don't necessarily have to stop you; we just want to know how you died. That way, we can help you."
Xiao Xuanxuan suddenly laughed harshly, her face twisted in rage. "Help me? What can you do to help me? I can never be reincarnated again. Outsider, do you have the ability to help me?!"
In an instant, she darted behind Junfeng Wang.
Her dark, curled nails formed a claw-like shape as if to rip out a heart. "Swish—"
Mu Xuanche reacted just in time, swiftly summoning the Devouring Blade to block her attack. In that flash of light and fire, Xiao Xuanxuan was pushed back.
During this brief encounter, Mu Xuanche realized something and asked in confusion, "You don't have your three souls? Where are your three souls?"
Xiao Xuanxuan was taken aback; she hadn't expected that a man she had just fought would possess such insight. The fact that he could tell she lacked her three souls from just a short skirmish was something only she should have known…
No, it seemed she had encountered a formidable opponent!
With a loud shout, Xiao Xuanxuan made Junfeng Wang tremble in fear, nearly collapsing to the ground.
But this was merely a distraction; she intended to escape. In their brief interaction today, Xiao Xuanxuan realized that Mu Xuanche and the others were not to be trifled with.
The room returned to silence.
In the darkness, Gu Yanxi fumbled around until he found the light.
With a click, the lights turned on, revealing the same decorations as before. The candles from earlier had vanished, indicating that they were merely an illusion created by Xiao Xuanxuan.
Upon seeing the lights, Boss Wang's legs went weak, and he slowly made his way to the sofa, collapsing onto it.
His home was quite beautifully decorated in a European pastoral style—elegant yet cozy. Anyone who saw his home would never suspect that he was someone who had committed heinous acts.
I took a seat on the sofa as well and casually grabbed an apple from the living room, taking a bite.
Mu Xuanche and the others chuckled at my lack of manners and joined me on the sofa. With my mouth full of apple, I mumbled, "Well, you saw it too. This female ghost is determined to take your life. What kind of guilty deeds have you done? If you haven't done anything wrong, then we really can't save you."
Boss Wang's face showed signs of distress as he stammered, "I... I'm just a businessman. I can't have killed anyone, right? I really haven't done anything wrong." His hands trembled, betraying his nervousness.
