Qin Jiu remembered that she was now only a ghost and could not help but smile to himself.
“We’ve already drawn attention from the metaphysics circle,” Qin Jiu said.
Tang Guo did not care. “What will they do?”
“Before they see Guoguo, they will surely want to do something. But after they see Guoguo, they probably won’t have the courage to do anything.” His ghost girlfriend was far from simple.
“As long as you know.”
At that moment, Tang Guo looked toward the darkening sky. “Alright, Ah Jiu, wait here for me. I’m going to do something big.”
“I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Qin Jiu had once thought about helping her with those things, but she seemed to dislike his lack of ability, saying he could not turn invisible and that he was too conspicuous and easy to notice.
She was different. As a ghost, no one could possibly detect her.
He sat on the hillside, watching her drift downward, his eyes full of a smile. He liked everything about her. Whether she was a ghost or not no longer mattered. He only felt that twenty years seemed a little too short.
So he should cultivate his Daoist arts diligently and grow stronger, so that in the future it would be easier to venture into the ghost realm.
Yes, he was no longer satisfied.
Before being with her, he had still hesitated.
After being with her, he realized how captivating this ghost was, how irresistibly attractive. Everything about her, even a single strand of hair, seemed especially charming to him.
Whatever she said, he wanted to indulge her.
Her smile, in his eyes, was the most beautiful smile in the world.
Her voice was naturally the sweetest and most pleasant, something he would never tire of hearing.
“Daoist Qin, why are you here as well?”
Qin Jiu’s pleasant thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a voice. He frowned and looked displeased at the group climbing up the slope.
At the front were Fang Yunchi and a young woman he had met two years ago.
Her name was Ning Xiangsi. They had met in the mountain village where he encountered Guoguo.
Behind the two of them were several familiar faces, all capable ghost hunters from the metaphysics circle.
Looking at these people, Qin Jiu fell into thought, then asked, “Why are you here?”
“Daoist Qin, haven’t you checked the group chat recently? Such big news and you don’t know? I thought you were switching to ghost hunting, so I came to see for myself.”
Qin Jiu already had a guess. Over the past two years, Guoguo had made quite a stir. It was normal that she had attracted these people.
“I’m not here to catch ghosts.”
He was here accompanying his ghost girlfriend to deal with the villains in the village. Noticing a few people he had once had a good impression of, he added, “There is no ghost here for you to catch. You should go to the next place.”
“Daoist Qin, I can guarantee that there is indeed a ghost here that we need to capture.” Fang Yunchi stared intently at Qin Jiu and said righteously, “I can already smell that ghost. Ghosts in this world should be eradicated. Since I’ve encountered it, I cannot let it go.”
Looking at Fang Yunchi like this, Qin Jiu was momentarily dazed. He had once seen that same expression on Fang Tianshi.
Whenever Fang Tianshi encountered a ghost, whether innocent or not, he would show no mercy in capturing it.
If the ghost had not harmed anyone and could be easily subdued or surrendered, Fang Tianshi would spare its life and send it to a temple.
If the ghost had harmed someone, regardless of the reason, even if it was a personal grievance, in Fang Tianshi’s eyes it was an evil ghost that deserved to die.
Fang Yunchi had already become Fang Tianshi.
“I said there is none, so there is none.” Qin Jiu brushed past Fang Yunchi and looked at the others. “For the sake of past friendship, fellow Daoists, do not interfere in this matter.”
