As the metaphysics master Su Yan was about to ascend, she was sent to another world by the Heavenly Dao because her merits were incomplete.
An unexpected incident led her to discover that hel...
A look of shame flashed across Wu Ruiyang's face. After waking up last night, he did have some guesses.
A week ago, there was a funeral in my hometown.
Originally, Wu Ruiyang would not attend this kind of gathering with such distant relatives, but his grandmother insisted that he was busy working outside and could not eat delicious food, so she wanted to take him to eat something delicious.
Unable to resist his grandmother's kindness, he went to the funeral with her.
When he arrived at the scene, he realized that the protagonist of today's funeral was a young girl.
It is said that the bride died on the spot when she was hit by a car going the opposite direction on her way back from trying on her wedding dress.
When the groom's family heard the bad news, they felt it was unlucky and came to cancel the engagement.
I heard from the people in the car that the bride's family wanted her to be buried in her wedding dress so that she could leave without any regrets.
Before the banquet began, Wu Ruiyang met his old classmates, and they hid in the back of the house to discuss gossip about the bride.
"I heard the bride died a horrible death. A large piece of flesh was knocked off her face, and the bones on half of her face were clearly visible. It's horrifying just thinking about it."
"I wonder if such a beautiful girl would be sad to see her face become like this. I heard that her family spent a lot of money to have a cosmetologist sew her face back together."
Wu Ruiyang was very interested in these topics and wanted to dig deeper into the inside story.
"On my way here I heard someone say that the groom came to cancel the engagement the next day. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. I came here early in the morning, fearing that I would be associated with her. I almost pissed off the bride's parents to death."
"Look." He pointed to something covered with white cloth at the back: "It's full of paper wedding supplies, including a sedan chair, servants, and a matchmaker.
They said it was to fulfill the bride's last wish to marry so she could leave without any burdens."
The man who spoke turned his eyes and said, "I have a bold idea. Do you want to join me?"
"What?"
"None of us have ever seen anyone die in a car accident, and she was wearing her wedding dress. Otherwise, we could have secretly taken a look to see if she was truly disfigured."
Wu Ruiyang was the first to refuse: "I don't think this is a good idea. The dead are the most important. It's impolite to rashly open the coffin of the dead."
"No need to open it. The custom here is to see relatives for the last time before burial. Now it's almost time for burial, so her coffin must be open.
Besides, the people who are keeping vigil have all gone to the ancestral hall to pay their respects to her. There is no one guarding inside, so we can just take a sneak peek and we won’t be discovered.”
Wu Ruiyang still felt that this behavior was wrong, and he continued to persuade: "I still feel it is not good, let's go outside to play cards."
The man curled his lips: "Wu Ruiyang, what's wrong with you? I remember you were not like this when you were in school. You were the biggest troublemaker in the class back then.
What? After a few years of going to college, even your sharpness has been dulled.
Wu Ge, show the skills that made you the king of the class back then, and don’t let your brothers look down on you.”
His words put Wu Ruiyang on a high level, and his old classmates next to him kept encouraging him. In the end, Wu Ruiyang agreed to this unreasonable request.
They quietly slipped into the room where the coffin was placed. When no one was around, Wu Ruiyang kept apologizing in his heart, but gently lifted the red cloth covering the face of the female corpse with his hands.
The girl's pretty face appeared before everyone's eyes. Wu Ruiyang, who was standing closest to her, had a thought in his mind: "I didn't expect this girl to be so pretty. It's such a pity that she died just as she was about to get married."
The people around were not satisfied with what they saw.
"This family really loves their daughter. They even buried her in a red dress. They're the first family in the village to do this."
"People out there are really good at spreading rumors. They insist on saying she is disfigured even though she's clearly not. They say that the cadaver beautician can restore a person's appearance to the same as before."
"Brother Wu, you are worthy of being the leader of the class. You are still as powerful as ever."
Wu Ruiyang felt very uncomfortable listening to the teasing words of several people. He found that he had become the murderer who exposed the girl's last dignity.
This time, he had no intention of reminiscing about the past. He found an excuse and left in a hurry, intending to never interact with these people again.
When burying the girl, he walked to the grave and apologized solemnly to her: "I was reckless during the day, please forgive me."
Wu Ruiyang said with a bitter face: "Master, I really know I was wrong. I have been regretting it these past few days. Please talk to Sister Ghost and ask her to be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
"You deserve it, really. You dared to lift the veil from a dead person's face. If you met someone with a bad temper, you might not even have the chance to come and ask for help."
Those who started the fire weren't really friends. They probably just wanted to see it, but were afraid of retaliation, so they found a scapegoat.
[You really shouldn't make close friends with people like this. You might end up getting screwed over by them one day.]
The other three knew that Wu Ruiyang had gone too far and were afraid that Su Yan would not save him, so they pleaded for mercy.
"Master, what Xiao Wu did this time was indeed wrong, but he is usually a very enthusiastic student. Please give him a chance."
"Yes, Master, we will definitely take him to apologize to Ghost Sister someday."
Wu Ruiyang was almost moved to tears by his roommate, and it was at this moment that he understood the meaning of true friends.
Su Yan: "The ghost bride doesn't really want to hurt you, she just wants to teach you a lesson.
You were really taken away by her last night, and I won't do anything to you.
Apologize tonight and she won't come to you again."
At this moment, Wu Ruiyang and his roommates sat upright waiting for the arrival of the ghost bride.
The clock struck twelve, and the bridal sedan from last night arrived as scheduled.
The ghost bride looked at the four people sitting at the door and said, "You missed me so much after just one day of not seeing me that you were waiting for me right outside the door."
Wu Ruiyang bowed solemnly to her and said, "Sister Ghost, I was wrong on the day of your burial. I have fully realized my mistake.
I hope you can give me a chance to make amends."
Seeing his serious expression, the girl rolled her eyes under her veil and said, "It's boring that you discovered my true identity so soon.
You were also deceived by others at the beginning, and I am kind-hearted and will let you go this time."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Wu Ruiyang stopped her: "Sister Ghost, I have a gift for you."
After saying that, the three people next to him quickly took out four paper figures from the house. What was different from the previous ones was that these four paper figures were four different types of handsome guys.
"Sister Ghost, I begged the paper-making shop owner for a long time before he agreed to make this for us.
You see, there are gentle seniors, athletic juniors, and domineering CEOs. Let them apologize on my behalf."
The ghost bride nodded with satisfaction: "Young man, you have a bright future. I like this gift very much."
As the fire went out, the ghost sister happily left with the handsome guys of different styles.
