“Yes!” Li Yuan quickly retreated, frustrated with Wang Yu for making him take the blame alone. What happened to facing difficulties together?
This woman! Playing with me and then leaving!
“Oh! My head! Why is the world so dark? Have I gone to the underworld again? At least I finally died today!” Lan Ling’er covered her head, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the pitch-black scene before her, feeling delighted.
Hmm, not bad. Heaven is quite good to me! Since I’m a new ghost, I’ll visit the neighbors and learn the rules of being a ghost! Becoming a ghost feels wonderful!
She crawled out of the mud pit, her body stiff and covered in mud, preventing her from seeing the road ahead. Being a ghost is difficult. She felt like a robot trying to walk and laughed foolishly, but then her face hurt. Lying down all day made her body numb, and she could barely stand. Since no one could see her, crawling seemed fine, though it was embarrassing.
There’s light ahead! She crawled over slowly, wondering if this was a thousand-year-old ghost’s house, given its wealth. It looked like a villa, definitely the richest in the ghost world. She felt she needed to curry favor to establish herself in this realm.
Guided by moonlight, she approached the mountain villa, looking more terrifying than a ghost.
“Knock knock!” She remained polite, learning from the ancient ghost to avoid being seen as uncultured.
“Oh my! A ghost!” The old man who opened the door was so scared he dropped his broom and fainted.
“Heavens, how strange! Even as a ghost, I scare someone to death!” Watching the fainted man, she walked in sideways.
Wow!
Just as she expected, this ghost house is wealthy—such a big, clean house! Even a modern fountain; how beautiful!
“Why? Why are there so many whys? You little brat, the account book lady hasn’t settled with you yet, and you’ve already run away! Hmph! I will definitely avenge this grudge!” Even in death, she sought revenge, having done many good deeds in life that Heaven supported.
“Stop right there! If you take one more step, don’t blame me for being unreasonable!” Luo Ran gripped his sword, pointing it at Lan Ling’er. She was not afraid and pressed forward.
