My Tenant is a Female Ghost
Because the Siheyuan is an old house, when people go out, they use the outer lock, while when they are at home, they secure the door with the inner bolt. Bai Zhuo returned to the courtyard and noticed that Lin Yaoyao's room door was locked from the outside. He realized that this elusive beauty was not home again, feeling a bit disappointed.
After taking a shower, Bai Zhuo waited for a long time but still did not see the female ghost who wanted to rent a house. He glanced at his phone; it was already past one in the morning. Just as he was about to head back to his room to sleep, he suddenly heard a "knock knock knock" at the door.
She’s here!
Despite having faced the Taotie Ghost without much concern, he felt an inexplicable nervousness at that moment! Bai Zhuo held a makeshift Exorcism Talisman in his hand and tiptoed to the door. Taking a deep breath, he wondered if this ghost was like the one on the bus who had been holding a child—perhaps another terrifying female ghost?
He slowly opened the heavy wooden door, which creaked ominously. Bai Zhuo instinctively swallowed hard and peered through the crack. Suddenly, a large eye glowing with an eerie light appeared in the gap, startling him so much that he stumbled back several steps and shouted, slapping the Exorcism Talisman against it.
"Subdue evil spirits and transform into auspiciousness, Supreme True Lord, Urgent Command, decree!" The talisman instantly ignited into flames, releasing an invisible force.
However, this exorcism spell that had made many Great Ghosts retreat did not deter the spirit outside. Instead, she burst into laughter and mocked him: "You little brat, didn’t you just see me and think you could kill me in an instant? You still want me to warm your bed? With such weak skills, you dare to be arrogant? Hurry up and open the door to welcome me!"
Her voice was melodious and somewhat familiar; it was indeed that female ghost who wanted to rent a house. Bai Zhuo hesitated. Just from her casual dismissal of his exorcism spell, it was clear that her cultivation had surpassed five hundred years—she was a ghost with real Evil Spirit power!
"What’s wrong? Are you scared now? Don’t be timid; just do it! Hahaha!" The female ghost's voice was sweet and soft, quite pleasant to hear. Yet her bold tone made it amusing, completely contrasting with the term "Evil Spirit."
Bai Zhuo remained silent for a long time without opening the door.
The female ghost outside grew impatient: "Hey, are you really scared? Come on, I’m just joking! I really am here to rent a house! If it weren’t for this peculiar restriction of this place, I would have barged in here half a month ago… Without your consent, I can’t enter. I genuinely want to rent a house… Oh no, I let it slip… Hey! Are you dead or what? The rent is negotiable!"
So there’s such a restriction in my house? No wonder I’ve never noticed any traces of ghosts when I’m home; if there were any, they must have come in with me. I didn’t expect there would be such good fortune!
The female ghost kept knocking on the door insistently. Bai Zhuo steeled himself; he was a man who could survive even in front of a Taotie Ghost. What’s so scary about renting a house to a female ghost?
"Stop knocking! You’ll disturb the neighbors," Bai Zhuo shouted to bolster his courage before finally opening the door.
With a creak, the door opened, revealing a female ghost that left Bai Zhuo momentarily stunned, his expression somewhat dazed.
The ghost wore a court dress from an unknown dynasty, her hair styled in an elegant bun with beautiful side locks cascading down. A pink three-petal lotus flower ornament was placed between her brows, accentuating her enchanting beauty. With her captivating fox-like eyes and delicate nose, she resembled a celestial being descended to earth, her beauty rivaling that of Lin Yaoyao from My Tenant is a Female Ghost.
The corners of the ghost's mouth curved into a crescent-shaped smile as she disdainfully remarked, "You pervert, have you had enough of staring? Once you rent out your room to me, you’ll still be looking."
Bai Zhuo snapped back to reality, cursing himself for being a creep and having improper thoughts about this ghost! However… she must have been an extraordinarily beautiful woman in life; she truly was stunning!
Bai Zhuo cautiously observed her and noticed that the ghost showed no intention of attacking. He let out a slight sigh of relief. "Come in then."
However, the moment the ghost stepped over the threshold, a chilling wind swept through the courtyard. Her aura suddenly transformed; her hair unfurled like countless strands of steel, blocking out the sunlight before Bai Zhuo.
Bai Zhuo was taken aback, his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth as he suppressed a surge of yang energy. He formed hand seals and recited the Nine Character Mantra. "All warriors gather before me! Sword in hand, I command!"
Just as Bai Zhuo braced himself for confrontation, the ghost instantly retracted her long hair and restored her previous elegant hairstyle as if nothing had happened. She clutched her stomach and laughed heartily. "Hahaha! You little brat, that was just a punishment for your arrogance! Scared now?"
Bai Zhuo maintained his composure, casually retracting his spell and murmuring, "Is that really fun?" Yet only he knew that his back was already drenched with sweat, and his hands trembled uncontrollably behind him. He began to regret letting her in because just moments ago, he had sensed a terrifying aura from this ghost—an energy far surpassing that of the Taotie Ghost by tenfold or even a hundredfold! Could this be the legendary Millennium Ghost Spirit?
The ghost didn’t notice Bai Zhuo’s discomfort; instead, she pouted in dissatisfaction. "Hmph! It was just a joke; no need to take it seriously. Just give me any room; I’ll be staying here tonight… Ah~ such rich Spiritual Energy!"
"Eh? Why is there a Pomegranate Tree planted in front of the door?" The ghost frowned.
"Is there a problem with it?" Bai Zhuo forced himself to remain calm as he asked.
The ghost tilted her head and looked at it for a while, her cute demeanor completely contrasting with the earlier terror.
"What problem could there be? Of course I have no issues with it. You don’t even understand such simple feng shui; it’s embarrassing for you as the owner of this house."
Bai Zhuo didn’t know much about feng shui at all. However, living here had been smooth sailing aside from its coldness; he hadn’t paid much attention to these matters.
He pulled out a yellow sheet of paper, which was a pre-drafted contract. "It's getting late, and I have things to do tomorrow. Just write up a contract for the rent, and we can discuss it later. Also, don't disturb the other tenants; otherwise, I'll kick you out."
Bai Zhuo's tone was unfriendly. The female ghost pouted her cherry lips and playfully whined, "From now on, we'll be neighbors. Don't be so cold~"
Her soft voice was enticing and pleasant to hear. Bai Zhuo shivered slightly and shoved the contract and pen into the ghost's hands, urging her to write quickly. The ghost paused for a moment and asked, "Do ghosts need to sign contracts too?"
"Of course! No rules, no order. Whether you write it or not is up to you; if you don't want to, then I won't rent to you."
The ghost rolled her eyes at him and used her telekinesis to control the pen, writing her name on the yellow paper.
"Su Meiniang? That's quite a nice name..." Bai Zhuo murmured softly as he took the contract back and turned to leave.
Su Meiniang was quite displeased. Although she was a ghost, she had been a stunning beauty in life, and being ignored like this infuriated her!
"Hey, brat, what's your name?"
"… Bai as in white, Zhuo as in outstanding. Don't bother me if there's nothing else. Bye!" Bai Zhuo slammed the door shut with a bang and leaned against it, breathing heavily. That ghost was terrifying; she scared him to death! He didn't notice that in the corner of the room, another boy named Cao Xin was also curled up in fear, trembling.
Su Meiniang chuckled softly to herself: "He touched me without my permission? Bai Zhuo, is it? This could be interesting..."
