Chapter 15 Please respect me, I’m a ghost!
Perhaps because Jiang Jiu acted too calmly, Yu Zimo had no intention of continuing to suffer from sleep paralysis. Now Jiang Jiu could finally move his body.
Jiang Jiu quietly got out of bed and left the dormitory so as not to disturb his sleeping roommate.
Yu Zimo followed her obediently until the man and the ghost stopped at the stairwell, and then Jiang Jiu slowly turned around.
A very familiar ghost and a completely unfamiliar ghost are two different concepts. For example, now, even though the stairwell is pitch black and the emergency exit sign is emitting a faint green light, Jiang Jiu is not afraid at all.
"Why are you trying to pressure me?"
Jiang Jiu asked, crossing his arms and looking completely fearless.
"?"
This was the first time Yu Zimo encountered such a bold human being after becoming a ghost. Seeing her almost interrogating posture, his face was full of question marks.
It's like saying 'Please respect me! I'm a ghost!!!'
"Hurry up and tell me, I need to go back to sleep."
Jiang Jiu frowned slightly, her tone tinged with impatience. She was really sleepy now and was even grumpy about getting up.
"Because you smell good and attract me."
Yu Zimo lowered his head, his thin figure looking inexplicably aggrieved, but he still answered Jiang Jiu's question obediently.
There was a flash of doubt in Jiang Jiu's eyes. He didn't expect the reason to be so simple.
but.....
Jiang Jiu looked Yu Zimo up and down. He was wearing clothes that people in ancient times would wear and had black hair. He looked like he had been dead for a long time.
He is now inexplicably easy to talk to, completely different from when he was the Ghost King. Jiang Jiu is a little uncomfortable with this sudden behavior.
"How did you die?"
Asking a ghost this question is definitely the biggest taboo, but Jiang Jiu asked it without hesitation.
“???”
This question made Yu Zimo even more confused. He had never seen such a presumptuous human being. Anyone who saw him would be scared to death. How come the status was strangely reversed now?
Thinking of this, Yu Zimo felt a sense of dissatisfaction.
The next second, he transformed into a bloody corpse full of resentment, covered in blood, with empty eyes, intending to scare Jiang Jiu and make her respect him more.
As Yu Zimo expected, Jiang Jiu was indeed frightened, but soon her face turned dark, and she reached out to give Yu Zimo a big fight.
Unfortunately, he is now a soul, and Jiang Jiu's hand just passed through him.
“…”
Jiang Jiu looked at his hand thoughtfully, sighed and took it back helplessly.
"Don't scare people next time. It's very rude."
Jiang Jiu's tone was as if he was treating a child who was making trouble for no reason. Yu Zimo stood there in a daze, unable to say a word. He even took out his trump card, but this woman was not afraid at all.
"How did you..."
Yu Zimo spoke hesitantly.
"Your eyes are so beautiful, how could they bear to do that to you?"
Jiang Jiu glanced at Yu Zimo's empty eyes, and deep heartache appeared in them. He said what he thought in his heart.
“…It’s not very pretty either.”
This was the first time Yu Zimo heard such words after becoming a ghost. The ghost looked even more stunned, muttering to himself in response to Jiang Jiu.
"It's obviously beautiful."
Jiang Jiu shook his head and waved his hands to express his disapproval.
She had seen Yu Zimo's glasses. Although his eyeballs turned red after he became the Ghost King, which was scary to look at, he was still as handsome as before.
When he was still a young prince, his eyes must have been full of affection, making people want to indulge in them.
"....Thank you."
Yu Zimo felt more and more embarrassed by the praise, so he put away the death statement, looked at Jiang Jiu shyly, and bowed to Jiang Jiu politely.
"I was once the heir of a royal family, but unfortunately, the emperor executed my entire family, and I died on the streets in the winter."
She originally thought that she would not get an answer, but she did not expect Yu Zimo to actually tell her.
"Oh~"
Jiang Jiu fell into deep thought. This was very similar to the life experience of Yu Zimo in the world of cultivation. It was as if he had been moved here directly. As for why the others were different, she had not figured it out yet.
"If you want to absorb my yang energy, don't always press me down. You will be very tired when you wake up."
Jiang Jiu couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking and turned to Yu Zimo for instructions.
"Oh well."
Yu Zimo thought Jiang Jiu would chase him away and ask him to go to someone else. He never expected Jiang Jiu to say that, and he felt even more shy for a moment.
"Well, that's it."
Jiang Jiu yawned and climbed the stairs to return to the dormitory. She was already used to having a ghost around her.
Anyway, it's just that my hands and feet are a little cold and weak, it's not a big deal.
“…”
Yu Zimo hid in the darkness, watching Jiang Jiu's departing back, a hint of struggle emerging on his face.
"Why...why are you so nice? But I need you to be my scapegoat so that I can have a chance to be reborn..."
He had been forgotten by the long river of history for too long. As time passed, the decadent feudal dynasty had long become history, but he was left where he was.
He finally had the chance to start over, but the target was such a good girl. How could he bear to do that to her?
Jiang Jiu, who had returned to the dormitory at this time, knew nothing about this. She collapsed on the bed in dejection, with all she could think of in her head was 'It's all Yu Zimo's fault, he couldn't sleep', 'He has forgotten everything, what should I say to him now'.
"Forget it. I can't sleep. I'll get up and practice cultivation."
Jiang Jiu sat up from the bed, climbed down the ladder and turned on the computer. He moved the mouse skillfully to the game store and was about to open a new otome game when his hands suddenly stopped.
“…”
She has been traumatized. God knows if she will be forced to travel through time again and face the death field. She never wants to experience it again.
But.....
The handsome man on the chart seemed to be winking at her, which was no different from naked seduction.
There was no way she could refuse this handsome and devoted paper man.
Jiang Jiu's character is to learn from his mistakes over and over again... He never learns from his mistakes.
She struggled for a while, but still moved the mouse to the purchase icon, thinking to herself that she would only play for a short while, and she would definitely not experience time travel again. How could her luck be so incredible?
Just when Jiang Jiu was about to put down his drink, Yu Zimo's curious voice suddenly came to his ears.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Jiu subconsciously cleared the screen completely, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.
It felt like cheating on my husband right in front of him. It was thrilling but also really dark.
"nothing!"
Jiang Jiu said in a hurried tone.
"I go to sleep!"
She said so.
