My Tenant is a Female Ghost
The night was desolate, and on Burial Mountain, ghostly flames flickered dimly. Bai Zhuo touched the cold jade in his hand, feeling a sense of realization wash over him, whether it was from the sutra he could only recite or something else entirely.
Buzzing... Bai Zhuo's phone rang, an unexpected sound in the deep woods that startled him. He glanced at the screen and saw it was Ouyang Shirei's number.
"Hello..."
Before Bai Zhuo could say anything, Ouyang Shirei's urgent voice came through, "Hello! Bai? Where are you? You need to come back quickly; Yang Liu is in trouble!" Hearing this, Bai Zhuo was instantly bewildered and hurried down the mountain, asking, "Sister Shirei, slow down! What happened?"
Ouyang Shirei cried out, "It's all my fault! I brought a monster back with me. Bai, you have to hurry back..." Before she could finish her sentence, Ge Shui Lian snatched the phone away and shouted into it, "Bai! Yang Liu's soul has been swallowed by that monster! If you don't come back soon, just wait for us to collect her body!"
Bai Zhuo wanted to clarify what was happening but heard Ouyang Shirei scream, "Ah! Shui Lian! It's coming in!"
The line went dead with a busy signal. Bai Zhuo felt anxious on his end of the call, unsure of their situation. He lifted his legs and ran back.
Burial Mountain wasn't too far from the orphanage; it took Bai Zhuo five minutes to return. He burst through the door and heard chaos coming from the cafeteria—children were crying, and Ge Shui Lian was shouting angrily. The sound of tables and dishes crashing echoed through the room, occasionally interrupted by Ouyang Shirei's screams.
Since the incident at Southern High School, Ge Shui Lian had learned some powerful self-defense techniques from her grandfather. A protective barrier surrounded her as she shielded Ouyang Shirei and Qin Mother while retreating with over twenty crying children. Miao Xiaoqi knelt beside the unconscious Yang Liu. Outside the barrier stood a terrifying boy with a savage expression, crouched like a leopard. He stared at Ge Shui Lian as if she were prey, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Seeing Yang Liu's pale face made Bai Zhuo roar in anger. He threw out a high-level talisman and shouted, "Abomination! Die! Secret Technique—Thunder Emperor summons!"
The boy easily dodged the talisman and turned to see Bai Zhuo. His pupils constricted as he exclaimed, "It's you!"
Bai Zhuo was taken aback; the face of this ghostly creature seemed familiar. Did he know him from somewhere? But he had no time to ask questions as the boy bared his sharp fangs and lunged at Bai Zhuo!
Seeing the unforgettable sharp canine teeth, Bai Zhuo suddenly recalled and exclaimed, "What? So it's you, Ghost Fetus! How did you grow so fast?" Indeed, this boy was the one who had emerged from that streetwalker’s belly, the Ghost Fetus!
Bai Zhuo was anxious about Yang Liu's situation but had no choice but to face the monster's assault. He skillfully drew two Soul-Restraining Talismans, ready to strike. The monster, aware of the power of the Black Soul-Restraining Talisman, immediately halted its advance, moving like a hunting tiger, circling around Bai Zhuo.
Bai Zhuo shook the Soul-Restraining Talismans in his hand and taunted, "Beast! Come on! Didn't you want to eat me? Come on!"
Unfortunately, the monster remained unfazed, continuing to circle around Bai Zhuo. He shouted at Ge Shui Lian, "Ge Shui Lian, this is the Ghost Fetus! Quickly call Master; if Yang Liu's soul lingers too long, even the Great Immortal won't be able to save her!"
Ge Shui Lian was flustered but quickly reacted upon hearing Bai Zhuo's words. "Oh! I understand now!"
The monster, wearing the boy's skin, was not lacking in intelligence. It cackled ominously, "Want to call for help? Heh heh... By the time your reinforcements arrive, this Nine Yin Soul will have already been absorbed by me! At that point in this Yin Yang Realm, who could possibly stand against me? Hahaha!"
"Damn you!" Bai Zhuo's expression changed as he thought of Yang Liu potentially being in danger. He immediately threw aside the two Soul-Restraining Talismans and charged forward. The monster had been waiting for Bai Zhuo to make the first move; it bared its sharp teeth and nimbly dodged the two talismans before lunging at Bai Zhuo again. Quick on his feet, Bai Zhuo rolled aside just in time!
The monster brushed past him but then twisted its body in a bizarre manner; its upper and lower halves folded at a 60-degree angle as its head spun around to bite at Bai Zhuo's neck.
Many children present were so frightened by this scene that they fainted. In a moment of desperation, Bai Zhuo rolled again like a lazy donkey; though it looked somewhat awkward, he narrowly avoided the monster's attack.
Seeing its strike miss, the monster did not care about its appearance anymore. It bent over with its belly facing up while its limbs remained on the ground and crawled toward Bai Zhuo with eerie agility!
The terrifying sight of the monster made Bai Zhuo's hair stand on end. Just then, he found a Fire Separation Talisman in his pocket and shouted, "Abomination! Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams, Displacement, Fire Separation Talisman!" The Fire Separation Talisman shot toward the monster and struck it squarely on the forehead. Bai Zhuo felt a surge of joy but then saw a strange smile appear on the monster's oddly twisted face!
"Boom!" The Fire Separation Talisman ignited without any flames initially; however, at that moment of ignition, the flames were instantly sucked away by the monster! Bai Zhuo suddenly recalled Su Meiniang's words—"Jumping out of the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements?"
Damn! Do you think you're Sun Wukong?
Bai Zhuo cursed under his breath, only to be met with a powerful headbutt from the monster. He felt an immense force strike his chest, sending him flying and crashing to the ground in front of Ge Shui Lian. She hurriedly helped him up, only to see Bai Zhuo spit out a mouthful of blood, staining the floor and causing Ouyang Shirei and Miao Xiaoqi to gasp in shock.
Bai Zhuo was already suffering from the backlash of the Mysterious Scripture, and now, after being hit by the monster, his suppressed injuries flared up. "Cough, cough..." He coughed several times, struggling to get back on his feet.
The terrifying creature did not give Bai Zhuo a moment's respite as it crawled towards him again. Fortunately, there was a protective barrier around Ge Shui Lian; the monster slammed into an invisible wall of energy, its head twisting awkwardly as it bounced back.
With a furious roar, the creature punched the barrier. There was a cracking sound as the barrier began to fracture. The monster howled, revealing its sharp fangs, looking more terrifying than ever as it rammed its head against the barrier, widening the cracks!
Blood oozed from the monster's forehead, adding to its horrifying appearance.
With Ge Shui Lian's support, Bai Zhuo managed to stand up despite his injuries. The Ghost Fetus charged at the barrier once more, and all that could be heard was the sound of shattering glass as the protective barrier finally gave way under its relentless assault.
The Ghost Fetus displayed an excited expression and opened its mouth wide. Suddenly! Its tongue shot out like that of a frog, aiming straight for Ge Shui Lian's throat! The sound of it slicing through the air was comparable to that of a bullet!
Ge Shui Lian stood frozen in fear, her mind blank.
"Heart!"
Bai Zhuo, weakened and lacking strength, could only shove aside the dazed Ge Shui Lian...
