My Tenant is a Female Ghost
The Green Snake bit down hard on the headless body, injecting all its venom into it before swimming back to its nearly lifeless master, coiling around her chest.
The human head floating in mid-air finally let out a wretched scream, foaming at the mouth as it fell to the ground. After rolling over a few times with its eyes turned white, it succumbed to the poison of the Green Snake.
Bai Zhuo let out a sigh of relief; that disgusting creature was finally dead.
Yang Liu covered his mouth and gagged a few times, trying to avoid looking at the severed head. He helped Bai Zhuo up; despite the pain in his legs, he stood tall and heard Miao Xiaoqi's heart-wrenching cries. Bai Zhuo could feel her sorrow and understand her pain even more deeply.
Yang Liu supported Bai Zhuo as they walked over.
Zhu Man was still alive, clutching her throat in agony. Miao Xiaoqi continuously sprinkled medicinal powder onto Zhu Man's wounds. When Zhu Man saw Bai Zhuo, her eyes lit up, becoming bright and focused again. Bai Zhuo knew this was a moment of clarity before death.
She rasped, "Bai... Brother Bai, cough cough, I have two wishes left unfulfilled..."
Bai Zhuo nodded heavily, realizing that despite being covered in blood, Zhu Man looked so radiant, like a freshly bloomed rose.
He crouched down and held her hand tightly. "Zhu Man, you are my second mentor in life; you will always live in my heart. Whatever I can do for you, I will make sure to accomplish!"
Although Zhu Man didn't understand why Bai Zhuo held her in such high regard, she still smiled happily upon hearing his words, revealing her neat teeth stained with bright red blood. "Actually, we came here a long time ago; my sisters and I loved the peach blossoms in Ningcheng. Please bury us together under the peach trees in Ningcheng."
Bai Zhuo silently nodded. Zhu Man coughed a few times and said with difficulty, "And our precious Qi... Brother Bai, please help me send Qi safely back home, alright?"
"Yes! I promise you!" Bai Zhuo replied firmly.
Zhu Man coughed violently a few times; the Green Snake coiled around her chest restlessly, waiting for death to arrive.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you! Brother Bai, take good care of her!" As soon as she finished speaking, the Green Snake suddenly bit down on Bai Zhuo's left ring finger with lightning speed. A sharp pain shot through him, startling Bai Zhuo! He had seen the effects of the Green Snake's venom and felt an immediate surge of anger as he tried to shake it off. However, Miao Xiaoqi held down his left hand and explained, "Bai, Brother Bai, don’t be afraid. Qing is the most powerful among our Gu Worms; it is recognizing you as its master. Open your heart and feel it!"
After some hesitation, Bai Zhuo calmed down upon hearing Miao Xiaoqi's words and began to focus on the pain in his finger. Sure enough, moments later, a cool sensation spread from his fingertip throughout his limbs and eventually converged at his heart.
Bai Zhuo was pleasantly surprised to find that he could actually feel the emotions of the Green Snake. It was a mix of joy from being reborn and sorrow from losing her previous master. This was the magic of the Gu Worm—an understanding of hearts!
The Green Snake coiled obediently around Bai Zhuo's hand, hissing several times at Zhu Man on the ground.
She had left, departing peacefully because she felt reassured. Miao Xiaoqi was lying on her body, crying intensely. With the bodies left here, it was only natural for the Onmyoji Association to come and take care of things, but since Bai Zhuo had promised Zhu Man, he would definitely follow through.
He asked, "Yang Liu, do you have a car?"
"Yes!"
"I want to give these sisters a proper burial. Can I borrow your car? It might get dirty..."
Before Bai Zhuo could finish his sentence, Yang Liu interrupted him, pretending to be angry. "Bai Zhuo, what are you saying? You are my good friend! I saw everything that happened just now. Your friends are my friends; who else would I help? Besides, it was you who saved my life tonight! Now I owe you two lives."
Bai Zhuo felt touched. "Alright then, you go drive. I'll borrow some more blankets from your house to take them all away."
"Sure, no problem."
Returning to Yang Liu's villa, Bai Zhuo noticed that Kagura Keiha and Zhu Cong were still locked in a fierce battle, trading blows back and forth. They had thrown countless talismans at each other, both looking disheveled and equally matched.
Meanwhile, Zheng Ming faced two foreigners alone and was gradually losing ground, retreating under their relentless assault with an increasingly displeased expression.
When Kagura Keiha spotted Bai Zhuo, he was overjoyed and stopped fighting. "Hey! Bai Zhuo, my friend! I'm so glad you're okay! Come help me out!"
Bai Zhuo rolled his eyes in exasperation and walked away, which relieved the wary Zhu Cong.
"Hey, hey! Bai Zhuo! Bai Zhuo..." Bai Zhuo couldn't be bothered to respond. He rolled up a few blankets in Yang Liu's bedroom and left.
Kagura Keiha shrugged and explained to Zhu Cong, "Well, my friend is a bit proud and doesn't want to talk to me. How about we take a break?"
"..." "..." ... Around three o'clock in the morning. The night was slightly cool, and Yangliu drove to Bai Zhuo's home. Bai Zhuo sat quietly on the Co-Driver Seat, looking out the window at the deserted street. There were girls with red lips and high heels in twos and threes. There was a lot of posturing there, and occasionally a few cars whizzed past. Except for the sound of Miao Xiaoqi's sobbing, the car was very quiet. "Bai Zhuo." Yangliu. "Huh?" "Thank you now." Bai Zhuo chuckled and shook his head. "...Bai Zhuo, I think you have changed, you are different from before." "Oh? Why." He asked curiously. "Well... if I don't come up, it feels like it's... getting deeper." The night wind made Bai Zhuo's eyes hurt. Bai Zhuo closed the window, and the car suddenly felt... It was filled with the smell of blood like rust. He touched the sleeping green snake around his wrist and grinned: "Well, thank you...turn left ahead and go straight." Yes, tonight is a special night for Bai Zhuo. ZhuMan’s affairs with several sisters greatly stimulated him, especially the strong Congolese ZhuMan. She was like a sonorous rose that bloomed proudly in the wind and rain, inspiring Bai Zhuo and making Bai Zhuo Realize that sometimes, life is unavoidable, and only by facing it bravely can you have a chance of survival. Only by seizing that glimmer of vitality will life become vast and vast. "Qi, stop crying. Your Sisters must want you to be happy. If you cry like this, your Sisters will be unhappy." Bai Zhuo joked. Miao Xiaoqi nodded obediently, "Brother Bai, thank you." She took out two Soul Sealing Bags from her pocket and handed them to Bai Zhuo, "Brother Bai, these are all It’s the result of Sister’s evening, please accept it.” Bai Zhuo didn’t show any pretense, he nodded and took it.
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead. Yang Liu slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching against the pavement.
"What happened, Yang Liu?"
Yang Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied, "It seems there's been an accident up ahead; it's blocked."
"Pull over. Stay in the car for safety; don't come out. I'll go take a look."
"You be careful!" Yang Liu reminded him with concern, like a dutiful wife.
The accident was severe yet somewhat bizarre. This was a busy intersection in the city center, and even at night, there were plenty of vehicles passing through. At first glance, it looked like a chain collision, but that wasn't the case. The cars stopped at the crosswalk should have been pushed into the center of the road, yet they were crushed flat like pancakes. There were no other vehicles or obstacles in front of them; why had they been flattened? Was it some kind of supernatural phenomenon? But it seemed impossible for such a force to stop dozens of cars.
Bai Zhuo cautiously approached the intersection and reached out to touch something. He gasped as terrifying scenes from the Underworld flashed before his eyes! Bai Zhuo instinctively pulled his hand back as if shocked, panting heavily with an expression of disbelief. Next to him stood a young man about his age, accompanied by several others wearing sunglasses even at night, obscuring their expressions.
The young man was gentle and approachable. Standing beside Bai Zhuo, he smiled and said, "Hey there, are you also a Yin-Yang Master?"
Bai Zhuo nodded. The young man extended his right hand. "Ah, what a coincidence! I'm also a Yin-Yang Master. My name is Tang Bao. And you?"
Bai Zhuo shook hands with Tang Bao and replied, "Bai Zhuo."
Tang Bao released his hand in surprise. "Oh? You're Elder Ge's new disciple? What a twist of fate! Friend!"
Bai Zhuo remained silent, merely nodding lightly.
Tang Bao didn't mind and asked, "Do you know what caused this barrier to form?" Before Bai Zhuo could respond, Tang Bao cheerfully explained himself: "It's the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! To put it in your friend Kagura Keiha's words—'Hundred Demons Walking at Night!'"
"...You’ve investigated me? By the way, he's not my friend."
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's not the point! The focus is on the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! Aren't you afraid?"
In truth, Bai Zhuo was quite concerned about those four words—Night Parade of One Hundred Demons—because Taotie Ghost had mentioned it before, but he hadn't had time to delve deeper into it then. Now he felt curious. However, he didn't show it; he just shrugged and remained silent.
Tang Bao found it boring and shrugged, sighing, "On the night of the Ghost Festival, combined with the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, the Yin Qi is ten times stronger than usual. Those ordinary ghosts will be several times more powerful. A lot of people are going to die tonight!"
At the same time.
Kagura Keiha was preparing to take out his last few talismans to confront Zhu Cong when his phone suddenly rang. He raised his hand to signal for a pause, but Zhu Cong had no intention of stopping; he was surprised when his own phone rang as well.
"Hello? Ah, it's Lady Sister! What's wrong? Oh, I'm still outside... Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lady Sister! I'll be right back! Hi! Sorry... Lady Sister, please don't be angry..." Kagura Keiha spoke in Japanese. Although Zhu Cong couldn't understand what he was saying, he could see from his constant bowing and apologizing that he looked quite amusing in his submissive posture.
After listening to a few words on the phone, Zhu Cong disregarded his two foreign allies and walked away.
The two blonde foreigners seemed to sense something and stopped their actions. They shouldered Silver Cross and left as well. Meanwhile, Zheng Ming's Sophora Wood Coffin shook violently on the ground. He took out the Five Elements Plate, but the inner disk kept spinning without settling.
Zheng Ming exclaimed in fear, "What's happening... Such strong Yin Qi! The Five Elements Plate is chaotic; even my Yin Coffin is being pulled!"
...
The scene of the car accident was chaotic. Some were seriously injured and moaning inside their cars, while others with minor injuries were cursing loudly. There were also those who had merely scratched their paint and were about to get out to complain but saw the crumpled car ahead and muttered about ghosts. They didn’t even bother taking pictures of the accident scene before driving away. Some bystanders were busy posting on social media, yet no one called for an ambulance.
Bai Zhuo saw a few severely injured drivers still trapped in their cars and took out his phone to call for help when Tang Bao said, "Friend, you’re a Yin Yang Master; aren’t you leaving?"
"What?" Bai Zhuo was confused. Tang Bao scoffed dismissively without explaining and waited quietly. After a moment, he said, "Heh heh, they’re coming; you won’t be able to leave now."
Bai Zhuo gasped sharply, his eyes widening as his pupils dilated!
A few paper offerings floated from afar, and mist enveloped the end of the street where ghostly figures began to appear. Leading them was a girl with a smiling face but an oddly tilted head! She wore an old cloth shirt from ancient times with pigtails tied up and held a ghostly blue lantern in her hand. The girl skipped lightly with a cheerful smile, but her head swayed left and right as if it were loosely attached to her neck. Suddenly, as she ran faster, her head spun one hundred eighty degrees and hung off her shoulder!
The girl stopped, reached up to adjust her head back into place, and continued skipping toward them. Following behind her was a vast "crowd," with no end in sight! The ground seemed to resonate with a melody that was both joyous and sorrowful!
The street was shrouded in mist so thick that one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face. Someone screamed in shock, "Damn it! I see ghosts! Why is there such thick fog at this hour?"
But Bai Zhuo and Tang Bao saw something different.
The group drew closer, closer, even closer. The girl at the front suddenly stopped again, as if she had noticed something. Her nose twitched a few times, and with a bizarre pale smile on her face, her head elongated suddenly, lunging toward Bai Zhuo and Tang Bao like a python!
The five or six people behind Tang Bao, all wearing sunglasses, moved in perfect unison, forming the same Hand Seals. In unison, they chanted: "Yin and Yang Are Distinct, the path of light and the narrow bridge, drawing boundaries in the earth, do not disturb the living souls, Supreme True Lord, Urgent Command!"
A barely perceptible flash of light enveloped Tang Bao and the others. The terrifying long-necked girl sniffed the air and revealed a strange expression; she realized that several delicious souls were missing. However, there were still some to feast upon!
The girl swung her long neck around to face Bai Zhuo. He could feel that her power was unfathomable, leaving him too shocked to move.
The girl licked Bai Zhuo's pale cheek and merely inhaled lightly; his soul was forcibly drawn out of his body! The girl's eerie smile became even more terrifying.
Just as she was about to indulge herself, a bell suddenly rang from Bai Zhuo's pocket.
"Dingling..."
In his mind, Bai Zhuo recalled An Zhi Xi's reprimand and her graceful figure. The command "Enough!" thundered through his brain like a lightning strike. Bai Zhuo's soul reformed as he snapped back to reality, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.
He opened his mouth: "Enough—!"
This shout resonated like a divine song or a demon's roar, startling the ordinary people around them, shocking Tang Bao, and alarming the vast Ghost Horde.
The Long-Necked Girl was closest and let out a painful shriek as her soul suddenly shattered into fragments before turning to ash.
