Starlet was truly making money; this house was simply enormous, decorated in an incredibly luxurious style. Unfortunately, as soon as we stepped inside, we noticed a particularly strange smell permeating the air.
Seeing our expressions, Sister Zhang looked a bit embarrassed. She reached for a row of perfumes on the side and began spraying them vigorously into the air.
Shangguan Mingyue, who had a straightforward personality, turned to Sister Zhang and said, "Alright, enough already, Sister Zhang. Don't spray anymore; it just makes the smell even stranger."
Sister Zhang's face turned awkward as she put away the perfume.
"I don't want this either. I don't know why, but every time it gets dark, my body starts to emit this foul odor. Now my home is filled with it too, and I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable," she explained.
Since she was already in such a state, I felt it was inappropriate to complain further and decided to endure it.
Sister Zhang led us to the front of a formation. Upon seeing it, I was shocked.
On the top floor of the house, there was an additional room. Once inside, I noticed that the walls were lined with eternal lamps, and in the center stood a tall cabinet serving as an altar.
Hanging above the altar was the corpse of a dead baby, already desiccated and mummified, suspended in the center. Below it burned a massive black candle that was consuming the baby's body.
As soon as I saw this, I instantly understood where Sister Zhang's foul odor originated from. It seemed that the oil from burning corpses was being smeared onto her body, which must have attracted spirits to her.
"You're too ruthless! To achieve your own fame and fortune, you can resort to such dark practices," Shangguan Mingyue exclaimed directly at Sister Zhang, causing her to look like a weeping pear blossom, crying pitifully.
"Where did this baby come from?" I asked Sister Zhang.
"I don't know either, it was prepared by Master Cao," Sister Zhang answered honestly.
Seeing that I remained silent, Sister Zhang seemed a bit frightened and mumbled, "Great Master, although I don't know where this child came from, I do know his birth date and time."
"Let me see it."
As soon as I looked at the birth date and time, it felt familiar; I had the impression that I had seen it somewhere before.
I handed it to Shangguan Mingyue beside me. After she read it, she exclaimed, "Oh, I didn't expect this child's birth date and time to be the same as Bao's!"
She handed it back to me, and upon looking again, I confirmed that it indeed matched Bao's birth date and time.
At the time, Ruo Qing had specifically given me Bao's birth date and time to ensure that Bao would follow me closely.
There are many people in the world with the same birth date and time, but thinking of the Cult of Spirits made me feel uneasy.
After asking Sister Zhang to step aside, I brought Bao out from the room.
When Bao saw the burned corpse, his entire face showed immense fear. He hid in my arms, trembling all over and too scared to come out.
"Godmother, Godmother, that thing is too terrifying! Bao can't look at it; Bao is scared!"
As I comforted Bao, I began to ask him questions.
"Baby, how do you feel about this thing?"
"I can't bear to look at it, Godmother. Just seeing it makes me feel awful, and my body hurts so much."
I tightly gripped the object in my hand, and beside me, Shangguan Mingyue was ready to rush out.
"Where are you going?" I shouted, holding onto Baby, using the moment to vent my inner anger.
"I'm going to find that Master Cao. I'm going to make him pay," Shangguan Mingyue said angrily.
"Where do you think you're going? Calm down."
I tried to persuade Shangguan Mingyue. Although I was just as furious, I knew I had to hold it together.
Since Master Cao had left behind this birth date and time, it was clearly a provocation aimed at us.
Using Baby's remains to taunt us—if he dared to issue a challenge, then I would dare to accept it.
Carefully, I took Baby's body and wrapped it securely with calming talismans before placing it into Shangguan Mingyue's bundle.
Initially, I thought Sister Zhang was being haunted by a ghost; now it seemed that wasn't the case.
Baby's soul had been protected by me all along and couldn't possibly be entangled with Sister Zhang. It appeared this arrangement was merely meant to provoke me.
As I closely observed the formation, I suddenly recognized the deity displayed on the altar.
"Mingyue, have you seen this statue before?"
She nodded, "This is the deity of the Cult of Spirits, Spirit Buddha."
To think it was a deity from the Cult of Spirits. Why would there be a temple dedicated to this in my hometown? The Shiro I have in my hand was also taken from that temple. Is there some connection here?
"Knock, knock, knock..."
The door to the room was knocked on, followed by Sister Zhang's deep voice, "Great Masters, have you resolved the matter inside?"
It seemed she was getting anxious. Shangguan Mingyue and I opened the door and stepped out.
"Sister Zhang, we've solved the first issue, but what’s going on with you is not so simple, so we’ll need some more time."
Upon hearing this, Sister Zhang was so frightened that her legs nearly gave way. Trembling, she said, "Great Masters, taking some time is fine, but you must stay with me. Can you please live together with me?"
Unable to resist her pleading, Shangguan Mingyue and I decided to stay at her place.
To facilitate our timely intervention if needed, she put us in the room next to hers.
Lying on the bed, Shangguan Mingyue lazily sighed, "Being a star is great; just look at how bouncy this bed is. It’s incredibly soft when you lie down."
"Don't be envious. We have our own lives. It's best to sleep early; your injuries haven't fully healed yet. You need more rest."
Shangguan Mingyue couldn't take my nagging anymore. She covered herself with the blanket and buried her head to go to sleep.
...
Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, I would be awakened by a series of gasping sounds?
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Various moans and gasps filled the air, pulling me from my slumber. The sounds were so intense that I felt my face flush with embarrassment.
"Mm, ah..."
The noise was overwhelming, and beside me, Shangguan Mingyue stirred and groaned awake. She cursed, "Who the hell is watching something at this hour?"
Then she turned to me, leaning in close with a strange smile.
"Yan Xi, could it be that Sister Zhang is entertaining her lover? According to those girls, if they perform well, their opportunities widen."
I had initially planned to join Mingyue in her teasing, but suddenly a thought struck me. I shouted, "No way!"
Throwing off the covers, I jumped out of bed. Seeing my frantic movement, Shangguan Mingyue hurriedly followed suit.
"Yan Xi, what are you doing? It's the middle of the night!"
I rushed to Sister Zhang's room and kicked the door open.
As I burst inside, I let out a startled scream before quickly retreating.
Realizing something was off, I dashed back in. On the bed lay a naked couple entwined in each other's arms.
Shangguan Mingyue burst in, shouting, "What the hell is going on here?"
The Evil Spirit entwined around Sister Zhang glanced at us as I rushed in, raising an eyebrow and throwing a flirtatious look our way.
"Hey, two more beauties have arrived. Want to join in the fun?"
This Letcher was so shameless.
Sister Zhang, still dazed and seemingly content, reached out her arms toward him, writhing her body in a way that invited him closer.
The Evil Spirit shot us a provocative glance before pouncing back onto Sister Zhang, exerting force.
Sister Zhang's cries echoed, leaving both me and Shangguan Mingyue blushing furiously.
No wonder Sister Zhang looked so worn out; no matter how strong she was, she couldn't withstand such relentless demands night after night.
Shangguan Mingyue leaned against the wall, scrutinizing the scene before her. She stroked her chin and remarked, "Wow, this Male Ghost has quite a nice physique."
"What do you think? Should we just stand here?"
"Yan Xi, look at Sister Zhang's face; she looks so blissful. Can you bear to interrupt her?"
I shot a glare at Shangguan Mingyue and retorted, "Are we supposed to wait until they're done before charging in?"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's take action!"
Each of us grabbed a Spirit Binding Talisman and lunged toward the Male Ghost.
No wonder, upon seeing us approach, he suddenly swung Sister Zhang's body towards us.
I dodged just in time, causing the talisman in my hand to fall, allowing the Male Ghost to evade it.
Seeing that the talisman was gone, Shangguan Mingyue pulled out a handful of Glutinous Rice and threw it at the Male Ghost.
The Glutinous Rice splattered on the Male Ghost, making a sizzling sound.
This completely enraged him, and with a fierce expression, he shouted, "You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty. Just wait until I take you down!"
Unexpectedly, this Male Ghost was quite powerful; with one move, he pulled me towards him and grabbed me by the throat.
I reached for Shiro to stab him, but he tossed me onto the bed beside him.
Then he lunged at me again, trying to rip off my clothes.
