Yuanman lives in the countryside with her coffin maker grandpa, never imagining that one day she would be taken back by the richest family in S City, the Jiang family.
But they called her and...
The female ghost gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Oh dear~ Peach Blossom Goddess and all that, those are just titles they gave me! I can't bear such a title."
She blinked and looked at Nan Yuanman with a sincere expression: "Um... Little Fairy, I didn't hurt your brother, and I didn't hurt anyone. Can you let me go now?"
"Who said you didn't hurt my brother? Mental abuse is abuse too!" Nan Yuanman said unhappily, "Besides, you have a lot of blood on you and have taken many lives. I can't let you go."
The female ghost was dumbfounded, but she still managed to retort, "I did kill people, I admit that, but they were all people who deserved to die."
"They were the ones who toyed with the girls' feelings first, and schemed to take their money and wombs. That's why I killed them. Keeping them alive would only pollute the air. Wasn't what I did an act of justice?"
Nan Yuanman, her chubby cheeks puffed out, retorted earnestly, "Auntie, you're not the heavens, what right do you have to act on behalf of the heavens?"
“Moreover,” she pointed at Wu Weixi, who was still unconscious, “this isn’t the first time you’ve possessed other girls, is it? You still have some yang energy left in you.”
The female ghost argued, "Possession is a matter of mutual consent. They prayed to me sincerely, so I have to fulfill their wishes. Besides..."
She glanced at Feng Zining and muttered under her breath, "Isn't it the man who feels the most pleasure when it comes to that kind of thing..."
Nanmanyuan: "What?"
The female ghost looked at the chubby, innocent face in front of her and swallowed back the lewd words that were about to come out of her mouth: "...It's nothing."
The female ghost felt a sense of powerlessness. If the person opposite her were an adult, she could have said more to argue her point, but now the person opposite her was a minor, a little kid under six years old who was stubbornly insistent on his own reasoning.
She really didn't know what to say to persuade Nan Yuanman to let her go.
The female ghost's eyes darted around, and she suddenly had an idea. With a bitter face and teary eyes, she looked at Nan Yuanman: "Little fairy, please spare me this time for the sake of my pitiful life."
"I can assure you that I will never possess other beings and absorb yang energy again. Even if I do absorb yang energy, I will only absorb a tiny bit, okay?"
Nan Yuanman: "You were pitiful in your life? How did you die? And how did you become... a lecherous ghost?"
The female ghost nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I was very pitiful in life. I died in bed..."
She paused for a moment, then changed her words and slowly told Nan Yuanman about her life.
She is a Xia woman who grew up in Siam, and her name is Nguyen Xia.
Nguyen Ha's family was not well-off in Siam. She was also born into misfortune, losing both her parents when she was five years old, leaving her to depend on her grandmother.
To earn money for her schooling, her grandmother would go out before dawn to sweep the streets and collect plastic bottles, which she would then sell to raise money for her education.
After raising her to adulthood with great difficulty, Grandma was hit by a drunk driver while sweeping the streets as usual, and her life was in imminent danger.
She had no money and couldn't afford the expensive surgery.
Ruan Xia took the wrong path in order to make money.
She had her virginity with a wealthy businessman, who readily paid her so she could pay for the surgery on time.
The surgery fee is just the beginning; there are various medical expenses, nursing fees, examination fees, and so on that follow.
In her quest to make money faster, she strayed further and further down the wrong path. To keep her grandmother from finding out, she even bribed a nurse at the hospital to act with her, hoping to keep the deception secret for as long as possible.
But fate was not kind to her.
Grandma had just recovered when the big boss's wife showed up.
When her grandmother learned what she had done, she was deeply shocked and jumped to her death from the hospital that very night.
She wanted to go with her grandmother, but the big boss's wife sent her to the red-light district, claiming that she liked to climb into bed and that she could stay in bed as long as she wanted.
Ruan Xia lived in a daze, not even knowing how she died. When she came to her senses, she had become a wisp of soul, drifting back and forth between heaven and earth.
She also witnessed, of course, that after her death, her body was used to its fullest extent by the people of the red-light district, who dissected her and sold whatever was usable...
Ruan Xia covered her face and pretended to cry: "I didn't even leave behind a complete corpse after I died, waaaaah~ Little fairy, please have pity on me and spare me this time."
Nan Yuanman looked at her expressionlessly, his gaze sweeping over her soul: "Your experiences before death were indeed pitiful, but after you died, you killed the big boss's entire family, right?"
Ruan Xia's fake crying paused: "..."
Nan Yuanman: "That senior monk, you deliberately lured him into the temple so that he would sculpt a clay statue of you for your spiritual practice, right?"
Ruan Xia stared at her in horror: "You... how did you know?" She clearly didn't say any of these things...
Nan Yuanman scratched her head, a look of confusion on her chubby face. Right, how did she know?
She just wanted to see if Ruan Xia was hiding anything from her, so she opened her third eye, and then... she saw what had happened to Ruan Xia, and naturally knew that the story she told was somewhat different from what happened to Ruan Xia in her previous life.
Of course, those were all versions with mosaics.
"Oh, never mind how I know. Anyway, you did something bad, so you'll have to go to the underworld to settle accounts." Nan Yuanman shook his head as he spoke, summoning nearby underworld officials to take Ruan Xia away.
Ruan Xia panicked. She hadn't even had a few years to enjoy life! How could she be taken away? She cried out, "You can't send me to the underworld! I... I'm not from Xia Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom's underworld won't take me!"
"As long as your ancestral home is Xia Kingdom, that's fine." As Nan Yuanman spoke, a thick fog appeared beside her, and the underworld officials nearby, having received her summons, came looking for her.
The pale-faced underworld official, holding a soul-reaping rope, bowed to Nan Yuanman and said, "Lord Nan."
Nan Yuanman hurriedly pulled out a copper basin, burned three catties and six taels of paper money in it for the underworld officials, and then pointed to Ruan Xia: "I'll have to trouble you with this auntie!"
The underworld official smiled and said, "No problem."
The female ghost was unwilling to be captured like this. Her clay body had just been sculpted, and she still wanted to cultivate the path of incense and become a god!
She gritted her teeth, transformed into a streak of red light, and tried to rush into Wu Weixi's body again.
As long as she remains in a living person's body, the underworld officials can't do anything to her!
The underworld official swung his soul-reaping rope, hooking it around her neck and ripping her soul out: "How dare you! You try to harm a living person right in front of me!"
The female ghost screamed, "No—!"
The underworld official, with a cold face, used the soul-snatching rope to bind the female ghost completely, waved to Nan Yuanman, and took her to the underworld.
Feng Zining only saw Ruan Xia, not the underworld officials. He saw Nan Yuanman burning paper money and then saw Ruan Xia being led away by a chain around her neck before asking her, "Was that female ghost taken away?"
"Mmm!" Nan Yuanman nodded, then pointed at Wu Weixi: "What should we do about this aunt?"
She saw that when Wu Weixi made her wish, she also promised to give Ruan Xia ten years of life.
This ten-year lifespan has been exchanged for Ruan Xia's yin lifespan; their deal has been made. Wu Weixi has at most twenty years left to live.
Feng Zining pinched his throbbing brow, his heart finally settling down completely: "I'll have someone come and take her away."
As for what would happen to Wu Weixi if he captured the female ghost, that was beyond his responsibility.
After all that commotion, Feng Zining finally felt at ease and fell asleep holding Nan Yuanman. The next day, he immediately returned to the company, secretly vowing never to associate with those strange women again!
Nan Yuanman didn't tell him that his fourth son was born with these traits, especially a fondness for attracting female ghosts. Even if the lustful ghost was dealt with this time, other ghosts would appear next time...
The little dumpling sighed heavily. She should take better care of Fourth Brother, lest he be snatched away by a female demon one day!
When Wu Weixi woke up from her coma, she found herself in the room and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, believing that she had not done anything to Feng Zining.
She didn't give up on her goal of marrying Feng Zining, but soon, one scandal after another broke out about her, including the sordid things she did in the past to get the female lead. She was quickly overwhelmed with her own problems and had no time to bother with Feng Zining anymore...
-
After attending the charity gala, Nan Yuanman's life returned to its peaceful and leisurely state.
It was another holiday, and Nan Yuanman was tending to her vegetable garden in the backyard, while Zhuangzhuang and Xiaocao helped her water the plants with the hose.
Zhou Jingchuan squatted down in front of the lush green vegetables: "In another two or three days, these vegetables will be ready to eat, right? Tsk tsk, Master, can I try some after you stir-fry them?"
He hadn't eaten such pure, natural, and pollution-free vegetables in a long time.
Nan Yuanyuan, her round face covered in mud, nodded upon hearing this, her chubby cheeks bouncing with her movements: "Great, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Butler Su's voice came: "Miss, someone requests an audience."
"Oh, you're here!" Nan Yuanman thought it was Lou Yuqi coming to play with her, so she hurriedly wiped her face and went to the living room, still all dirty.
She went to the living room, but instead of Lou Yuqi, she saw Miao Shaohua, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. She blinked and exclaimed, "Grandpa Mouse!"
Miao Shaohua's face darkened: "I'm not Grandpa Rat!"
"Oh, Grandpa, is there something you need?"
Miao Shaohua: "..."
He swallowed his anger and said with a sour face, "Zhong Xueliu has disappeared."
