I only took off my jacket and lay down in the same bed as Zhao Yin. She was wearing pajamas, and her skin was quite smooth. However, I didn't have much in the way of thoughts, perhaps because I knew that ghosts might be watching. I lay there with my eyes open, quietly waiting.
Zhao Yin fell asleep quickly, and before long, her breathing became steady. Later on, she turned over and draped her arm over my neck. At that moment, I felt a bit uncomfortable; being pressed down by a voluptuous woman in the middle of the night made it impossible not to have thoughts.
But I held back and continued to wait quietly.
The night passed without incident!
When the rooster crowed in the morning, I breathed a sigh of relief and gently pushed Zhao Yin away.
She woke up and, seeing my bloodshot eyes, smiled awkwardly. "You didn't sleep at all last night, did you?"
I sat up and replied, "It's fine. For your two thousand yuan reward, it's worth a little hardship. I need to go back and catch up on sleep. Hopefully, that ghost will come looking for me."
With that, I shouldered my bag and stepped out. I had breakfast at a Yonghe Soy Milk shop on the way, then returned to the dormitory for a deep sleep.
Since Yang Gou Dan was in the dormitory, I slept soundly. Plus, it was daytime, so I didn't need to worry too much.
When I finally woke up, it was already evening. After thinking for a moment, I figured that the ghost wouldn't dare come near while I was in the dormitory. So after dinner, I grabbed my bag and headed to the playground on the west side of our school.
Beyond the playground was a grove of trees. Like all universities, this area was filled not with magpies but with couples, especially at night. Of course, since it was summer vacation, only about one-tenth of the students remained on campus. It was much quieter now; during the school year at night, this place would be a wild sanctuary where whispers were clearer than in hotels.
I sat down on a rock at the edge of the grove, closed my eyes to rest, and waited quietly. All I needed to do was eliminate this Evil Spirit to earn my two thousand yuan reward and gain Chen Shan's and Qin Hai's gratitude. Ah, this business was too profitable; the more I thought about it, the more excited I became.
A soft thud echoed nearby.
My ears perked up as I heard a faint sound not far away.
"Darling, there are so many mosquitoes here; shall we go to a hotel?"
"You know that you bought an iPhone Plus this month; next month's living expenses are all spent! How can we afford a room? Alright then, darling, since you agreed not to wear any underwear and just wear a long skirt instead."
"I heard, I heard, really, I'm definitely going to get my new dress dirty."
"Don't worry, we saved two hundred bucks tonight... If we save two hundred on the room, after a month we'll have enough to buy your iPhone 6."
"Haha... with your kind of luck, if you keep this up for a month, you'll be dead in three days..."
Listening to their conversation made me a bit frustrated. Seriously, even during summer vacation, I run into these kinds of people. But saving six thousand on room fees in a month is indeed impressive. As I was pondering this, suddenly everything went dark, and a cold wind blew right at my face.
I quickly pulled out my Peach Wood Sword from my backpack and looked around. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and everything was shrouded in gloom. At that moment, I could no longer see anything; it was all just black clouds!
I started to feel anxious. What does this mean? Wow, they can create illusions and cut off my world like this? No wonder two Taoists had already died at his hands!
I swallowed hard and opened my bag. Inside were five Talismans, which reassured me quite a bit.
After calming down for a few seconds, I spoke up: "Since you're here, come out. I've been waiting for you."
With a whoosh, a shadow appeared. It was a man—tall and sturdy, with an honest-looking face. After he emerged, he glanced at me without saying much and lunged toward me.
I dodged to the side and splashed Black Dog Blood at him. With a sizzling sound, white smoke erupted from his chest. The effect of Black Dog Blood against evil spirits was significant; it quickly caused him to convulse.
However, this only fueled his anger. He was engulfed in black flames and swept toward my face in an instant.
What the hell! This guy is strong!
I was taken aback; clearly, this ghost was much more powerful than the Vengeful Spirits I had encountered before—almost on par with the Ghost Bride.
I thrust my Peach Wood Sword toward the Male Ghost.
The Male Ghost kicked at me. My Peach Wood Sword struck his ankle.
Sizzle! White smoke billowed from the Male Ghost's leg, but he managed to kick my Peach Wood Sword off course, nearly making me lose grip!
If it weren't for the fact that I had consumed the flesh and blood of the Fox Spirit, I might not have been able to hold on.
Now I was really nervous; damn, this was so arrogant!
I picked up a Corpse Fixing Talisman and slapped it onto the Male Ghost.
When Ouyang Shan used a talisman, he had to recite a series of incantations, but clearly, I didn’t need to. Once I placed it on him, the talisman emitted a golden light with a hum, and then the Male Ghost froze in place!
I let out a sigh of relief, watching the Male Ghost with my heart aching. That was ten thousand dollars! Ten thousand dollars!
Originally, I had asked Zhao Yin for twenty thousand as a commission fee, and now, without even completing the task, half of it was gone.
The Male Ghost let out an angry roar, and suddenly his figure began to shift. Slowly, his face transformed into that of a woman—exactly like Zhao Yin! Then Zhao Yin reached out and tore off the Corpse Fixing Talisman!
I was taken aback; I never expected that. This was Azure Cloud Taoist's Corpse Fixing Talisman! How could it be ripped off by the ghost itself?
I quickly pulled out a Fire Thunder Talisman. No matter how much I regretted the money now, my life was more important.
Seeing me pull out another talisman, the Male Ghost dashed into the woods with a whoosh. He limped as he ran, so his speed wasn’t very fast.
I chased after him with my Peach Wood Sword. This was a rare opportunity; if I didn’t eliminate him now, it would be difficult to lure him out again next time. Besides, this ghost was tougher than I had thought. Who knew if he would retaliate against me?
Gripping my Peach Wood Sword tightly, I hurried after him. Suddenly, I tripped and fell to the ground with a loud thud. Then I heard a woman’s scream nearby—“Ah!”
I froze for a moment and rubbed my eyes. To my surprise, beneath me lay a woman with two freckles on her face. She wore a long dress that revealed her big white legs and looked panicked as she screamed loudly.
“Damn it, let go of my girlfriend!” A man’s voice came from behind me.
I turned around to see a guy approaching while pulling up his pants.
Suddenly, I realized something was wrong. During my struggle with the ghost earlier, the Male Ghost had released dark clouds that isolated the surrounding environment. I hadn’t noticed what was happening around me at all; in the midst of our fight, we had ended up right in front of this couple who were out in the wild.
I quickly got up and ran away.
The male student grabbed my collar and raised his fist to hit me.
I struggled and then kicked him down to the ground.
After knocking him down, I immediately lifted my leg and ran, that damn Male Ghost had also vanished without a trace.
"Pervert! Bastard! Disgusting!" The female student behind me shouted angrily.
I couldn't be bothered to explain and hurried after the ghost. When I reached the depths of the forest, it had disappeared completely.
"Damn it!" I cursed. If it weren't for that couple, I might have caught up with it. I was panting as I walked back to the dormitory. Not being able to kill that ghost today made it much harder to deal with it in the future.
On the way, I kept wondering why, since it was a ghost, it could tear off my Corpse Fixing Talisman.
Sighing, I returned to the dormitory and lay on my bed feeling a bit frustrated. Then I took out my phone and sent a WeChat message to the Azure Cloud Taoist; he was a fraud.
The Azure Cloud Taoist asked me what was wrong.
I briefly explained the situation.
After a moment of silence, the Azure Cloud Taoist assured me that it definitely wasn't due to the Talisman, and that we would need further analysis to determine the exact cause. He also warned me not to tarnish his reputation.
I couldn't be bothered with this Old Taoist anymore.
Not long after, my phone rang. I thought it was Zhao Yin calling, but when I picked up, it was my fellow townsman Sun Mei.
I answered the call, "Hello, Sun Mei, why are you still awake so late?"
Sun Mei giggled on the other end, "I'm just checking on you, Song Fei. Don't tell me you don't have a girlfriend, so you're... having some psychological issues?"
"Ah?" I was puzzled. "Come on, Sun Mei, even though we have a good relationship, I can still sue you for defamation."
"Hehe... Don't sue me just yet. Haven't you seen the posts on our school forum? There's a creep with a Peach Wood Sword lurking in the woods at night, hugging his girlfriend without consent. That post is going viral right now, and everyone is trying to find out who this Peach Wood Sword-wielding psycho is. Hehe, it must be you, right? Hahaha! Should I reveal your information?"
"Ah?" I quickly sat up. "Is that true? I'm... I'm innocent!"
"Oh dear, poor Song Fei! If you're lacking a girlfriend, you can come to me. I'll introduce you to someone. Worst case, I'll introduce myself to you so you won't have to go into the woods acting like a creep. Besides, the other people in our dorm also have a good impression of you. You can choose one from our dorm; just don't go being a creep in the woods anymore!" Sun Mei laughed happily.
I sighed in frustration. "Alright, alright! I'm already having such a hard time, and you're still teasing me."
Just as I hung up the phone, I saw Chi Xiang eating instant noodles while browsing the forum. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Haha! The creep with the Peach Wood Sword—it's Song Fei! Oh no, I'm going to be famous!" Chi Xiang immediately replied to that post.
I wanted to stop him but it was too late. I felt like crying without tears; why did I have to end up with such troublesome friends? Damn it!
