Chapter 128 Hungry Ghost Path

In the kitchen with a strange and gloomy atmosphere, Niu An and her ghost husband worked together and quickly prepared a meal and served it on the table.

The "family" sat together at a table and started to have their meal, just like they did in the past. No one ate the celery beef pie. Niu An passed the dish to the ghost husband and said, "Old man, I made this especially for you. Eat more."

The ghost husband is not picky about food, but he prefers raw food to cooked food. At Niu An's urging, he picked up a piece of beef pie and put it to his mouth. He took a bite and found that it was not cooked through, revealing a bloody smell that attracts ghosts. His dark pupils rolled disorderly in his eye sockets, like a small black ball trapped in a large transparent ball filled with water, floating due to the buoyancy.

The ghost husband ate with relish.

Without noticing, the other three looked at each other.

Niu An maintained his usual way of getting along with his son and daughter-in-law, and put some food in their bowls, saying, "This is something Mom made especially for you. Come and try it."

She didn't know that Lin Hanzhi was a germaphobe, nor did she know that Lin Hanzhi was extremely picky about food.

Lin Hanzhi looked at the food in the bowl and fiddled with it with chopsticks in confusion. This action attracted the attention of the ghost husband beside her. He looked at Lin Hanzhi with a serious look, as if he was trying to figure something out.

Qi Gu stretched out his chopsticks and took away the food in Lin Hanzhi's bowl, and then said, "Mom, he doesn't eat this, I like it, I'll eat it."

The ghost husband then withdrew his prying gaze, feeling that this was consistent with past situations.

Lin Hanzhi stared at her own bowl and chopsticks, with unspeakable emotions flowing in her peach blossom eyes.

Qi Gu's behavior just now was too intimate for Lin Hanzhi, who seldom dined with others.

It felt like they had really been husband and wife in this small, run-down residential building for many years, forever and ever, with their love forever intact.

Seeing that Lin Hanzhi was standing there without eating, Qi Gu thought that he was full from the meal at home, so he helped to cover for her and said, "Don't you have an appetite? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Hanzhi stroked her belly, blinked her peach blossom eyes slyly, and blurted out: "Hubby, I think I'm pregnant."

Qi Gu almost spit out a mouthful of rice. He didn't expect that Lin Hanzhi would say such outrageous nonsense just to avoid eating. Even...call him husband.

Lin Hanzhi's voice is that kind of voice with a cool sexiness. If she draws out the voice a little longer when calling someone's name, that sexiness will be doubly present.

When he called him "husband" just now, his tone was so special that Qi Gu really couldn't stand it.

With red ears, Qi Gu buried his head in his food. After two bites, he felt that his reaction was wrong and said hurriedly, "Then, let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?"

The ghost husband's attention was attracted by the "child" and his dark eyes turned to Lin Hanzhi's abdomen, greedily and eagerly. A child that it has no idea about is the existence it desires most.

Lin Hanzhi's remarks were exactly what the evil husband wanted.

Qi Gu also noticed this. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then continued, "It seems like the date is about the same. You have indeed lost some weight recently."

"Don't wait until tomorrow, go now, the child is important." The ghost husband became more excited when he heard what Qi Gu said, and said quickly.

On the other side, Niu An didn't know that they were fishing for a ghost. He looked at Qi Gu whose face was already red, and then at Lin Hanzhi who was stroking his belly. When he thought about the angry words of Lin Hanzhi's family when they first met, he suddenly had an epiphany!

It turns out... Xiao Qi likes boys.

Everything suddenly made sense.

As an intellectual of the older generation, Niu An absorbed a wide range of knowledge. In addition, she was a Chinese teacher and read a lot of foreign literature. She was not unaware of homosexuality. In her opinion, all of this was love and should be respected as long as they were not cheating on their marriage or having affairs.

"Hehe, where can we register at this time? Let's talk about it tomorrow." She said quickly.

Qi Gusui helped Lin Hanzhi to stand up, and like a diligent and gentle husband taking care of his wife, he helped him to the sofa and asked him to sit down.

Said: "Then you take a rest first, don't get tired, I'll go wash the dishes."

Lin Hanzhi suddenly grabbed his wrist: "Wait."

Qi Gu turned around in confusion and saw Lin Hanzhi putting an apron around his neck, and then tying a bow behind his back for him, looking very gentle and kind.

Qi Gu thought that this entertainment industry should have allowed Lin Hanzhi to join earlier. His acting skills and behavior that fits his character make him perfect for acting.

"Thank you...wife." Qi Gu felt that he started his career as an actor after all. Even though his acting skills were terrible, he still had to earn some face and couldn't let Lin Hanzhi perform a one-man show alone.

At that moment, both people's hearts were beating at the same time.

Qi Gu turned around in a hurry and entered the kitchen with his hands and feet clumsily, almost failing to hold the dishes in his hands firmly.

The ghost husband seemed very interested in Lin Hanzhi's belly, and his almost black eyes stared at his belly without blinking.

Lin Hanzhi was very spoiled, leaning on the sofa like a pregnant concubine, looking at her ghost husband and saying, "Dad, get me some water."

The ghost husband handed over the water on the coffee table.

Lin Hanzhi took a sip and handed it to her ghost husband, "Help me get that..."

While Qi Gu was washing the dishes, Lin Hanzhi was outside and had turned her ghost husband into a spinning top. The ghost husband gradually couldn't maintain his calm tone, his eyes became fierce, and he suspected that something was wrong with Lin Hanzhi.

How is he the same as his daughter-in-law who has been so polite and gentle to him all this time? ! The ghost husband thought.

Lin Hanzhi sensed its suspicion and showed an aggrieved look: "I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't mean to order you around. I just felt uncomfortable in my stomach and my temper has become worse recently. It must be a reaction to pregnancy..."

The ghost husband thought of the child and instantly became gentle again: "It's okay."

Niu An watched helplessly as the originally terrifying atmosphere was gradually turned into something outrageous and humorous by Lin Hanzhi. She covered her lips with her hands and tried very hard not to laugh out loud.

She didn't want to laugh, but... Lin Hanzhi's behavior was really too cool.

In this way, Niu An watched Lin Hanzhi let her ghost husband sweep the floor, mop the floor, wipe the table, take out the trash, and even clean the window glass that had not been cleaned for half a year and the dusty under the bed.

During this process, when the ghost husband saw Lin Hanzhi covering her belly, he became very hardworking and willing to work, as if the child was his.

When the ghost husband went to the bathroom to clean the toilet, Niu An asked Lin Hanzhi curiously: "Xiao Lin, why is it so obedient all of a sudden?"

Lin Hanzhi said: "There is a kind of ghost in the hungry ghost realm of the three evil realms. It can know the past of the dead, and then pretend to be them to return to their relatives to seek food... When the relatives completely trust it is the dead soul, it eats these relatives, and can escape the hungry ghost realm and cultivate into a higher-level evil ghost. It no longer has to suffer the torture of feeling hungry no matter how much it eats in the hungry ghost realm. And a child who has no idea about it and is related to the dead soul it plays is naturally more worthwhile for it than you who already have doubts about it."①

And this kind of ghost with supernatural powers happens to be able to speak human language and has no communication barriers with humans.

Lin Hanzhi's expression became serious and solemn. Without the playfulness and teasing just now, his already sharp face looked icy cold, like the rugged rocks on the top of a high altitude mountain that had been frozen for tens of millions of years.

Niu An looked at his expression and was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he asked, "Xiao Lin, how do you know all this... Are you also in this business?"

"I just happened to see it in a book." Lin Hanzhi looked at Qi Gu who was busy in the kitchen, blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression was much gentler, as if he was infected with the warmth of the light because he saw the light. "How could I do such a thing? I'm just an ordinary rich second generation."

If it weren't for those messy things, he might have been just an ordinary rich second-generation as he said.

Niu An: “…”

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should say that Xiao Lin was not very humble, or whether I should feel sad that a male student in my class actually married into a wealthy family.

Qi Gu finished washing the dishes and walked towards Lin Hanzhi while taking off his apron. "Where's it?"

Lin Hanzhi pointed at the window, and Qi Gu looked over and saw her ghost husband floating outside the bedroom window, wiping the glass vigorously with a rag. Soon the glass was wiped clean and shiny, much cleaner than the housekeeper who was hired for five hundred dollars a day.

Qi Gu couldn't help but say, "Very diligent."

Lin Hanzhi lay crookedly on the sofa, and smiled as he hugged Qi Gu's slender and warm waist and pulled him into his arms. "Anyway, the effect of that thing hasn't come up, so let's order it to do more work. It has evil intentions."

Qi Gu's body stiffened, but he didn't push away: "...Aren't you afraid of ghosts? How dare you play like this."

"I've already told you that I'm not afraid as long as you're here." Lin Hanzhi repeated with a smile.

Niu An on the side felt a little embarrassed to watch, thinking that the scene was really too disgusting. Even when she was young, she and her husband were not so disgusting.

Qi Gu felt that what Lin Hanzhi said made sense, so he let him go. After all, even if that evil husband found out something was wrong, he was still there. It won't let it scare Lin Hanzhi, who is taking advantage of the power of the tiger.

The timing was fairly accurate. When the ghost husband had completely cleaned the house, he was about to take another look at the child when he felt the pain in his abdomen, as if countless sharp claws were tearing him apart in his stomach. He broke out in a cold sweat and could not maintain his human body for a while. The rotten flesh and blood gradually replaced his normal pale skin.

Considering the situation, Qi Gu had already asked Niu An to carry Xiaobao out first. During this process, the ghost husband kept staring at Lin Hanzhi's belly. He didn't even care about Xiaobao, who was the one he wanted to eat the most, and didn't notice that he had been taken away.

"Oh, Dad, what's wrong with you?" Lin Hanzhi's voice was concerned, but also had a hint of sarcasm.

The ghost husband's face changed drastically: "...It was you who did this?"

"That's not the case. I don't have that much ability. These were all done by Gugu in my family." His handsome face was full of pride, his chin slightly raised, with a complacent look.

The ghost husband originally had a five-point heart attack, but after seeing his expression, his score became ten points.

Then it bared its sharp fangs viciously and was about to pounce on Qi Gu, but Qi Gu turned around and dodged it lightly - not because Qi Gu was agile, but because this ghost was weighed down and consumed by the handful of incense ash water in its stomach, and it was difficult to gather strength.

"You humans are so despicable!" The ghost husband has completely transformed into the form of a hungry ghost. His body is covered in blood and flesh, and his exposed throat keeps squirming. Endless hunger has completely overwhelmed him, making him lose his mind and want to swallow everything he sees, just like a black hole in an H-story.

At this moment, an iron ball appeared from Qi Gu's slender fingertips and shot straight at the hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost opened his mouth without hesitation, took the food, and then swallowed it down with a gurgle.

Very cooperative.

Lin Hanzhi looked at Qi Gu: "Your plan is a bit evil."

Qi Gu was about to say something, but he heard Lin Hanzhi continue: "It just so happens that I'm not a good person either, otherwise how can we play together?"

Qi Gu: "...Your words are quite tricky."

Can't pick up any.

The hungry ghost finally realized something was wrong and started scratching his throat: "You, what did you give me to eat! You did it on purpose!"

Qi Gu explained kindly, wanting it to understand: "The beef filling was mixed with incense ash water, and in order to cover up the smell, they added more cow blood to cover it up. This can reveal your true form and make you lose your power. As for what happened just now, it wasn't a bad thing. It was just an iron ball that could make you tell the truth."

The ghosts in the three evil realms are full of lies, and what they say cannot be believed.

That's why we have to let it eat the iron pill.

Qi Gu asked: "What happened in the underworld? Why were the ghosts in the three evil paths able to escape?"

According to the books about the underworld that Qi Gu had read in the past, the ghosts in the three evil paths were all transformed from extremely treacherous and evil people. They would be imprisoned and tortured for eternity and would never be able to escape.

Qi Gu read this book as a story book and did not believe it completely. But after vaguely guessing his master's identity and background, Qi Gu no longer thought so.

That book...is clearly a "Handbook of Job Functions and Management of Underworld Employees".

The hungry ghost obviously didn't want to answer this question, but it had no choice. Its mouth moved and made a sound: "Not long ago, a ghost went straight to the underworld and released a lot of evil ghosts. I recognize it, I recognize it... It came to the underworld once many years ago, and it also came to destroy the ghost prison. It failed that time and was hunted down by the powerful ghost officials above. I didn't expect it to come again."

"Who is it?" Qi Gu asked.

"I don't know, but there are other ghosts in the prison who know it. They call it the clever ghost." said the hungry ghost.

Qiao Gui...it's Qiao Gui again.

The clues began to connect. If Qiao Gui had been thinking about placing green bones in various suitable positions over the years in order to give birth to a powerful ghost, then its appearance in the ghost prison should be for the same purpose.

And the ghost official who was chasing Qiao Gui... In Huaishui Village, the summoned master... The ghost official said that he was revisiting the old place.

In other words, the ghost official who chased Qiao Gui and forced him to retrieve the green bones from the banyan tree to preserve his strength when Qiao Gui failed to destroy the ghost prison was the same ghost as the ghost official in Huaishui Village.

So many evil ghosts have escaped from the ghost prison. Is the ghost official okay now?

You won't be punished for this, right? Qi Gu was visibly worried. Worry leads to confusion, so the hungry ghost ignores the fact that when the hungry ghost mentioned the ghost official, his face was full of fear, as if he had seen a ghost.
