Chapter 167 A Fateful Marriage (Part 5)

Ning Yan had already stood up and was about to leave when she heard this. She glanced at her father, who was over forty but looked only in his thirties, and said, "I dare not go back to your home. After all, I still want to live for a couple more years."

From now on, I won't contact you unless I have something to say, and you shouldn't contact me unless you have something to say.

From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other!

Ning Jiuzhou's expression changed drastically. "Yanyan, what are you saying? I'm your biological father! What do you mean by 'we're not related' between a father and daughter?"

"No matter how close we are, we can't be as close as your wife, can we?"

"To Mr. Ning, I am merely someone he can do without, yet Ms. Hu has given you a son."

Ning Yan's face was full of mockery. After speaking, she turned and left.

What's the point of talking to someone like that? Your wife hurt me, and as a father you're indifferent? It's all useless. If he really cared about his ex-wife's child, he would have found out the truth and sent that woman to jail long ago. At the very least, he would have divorced her. There are other women in this world besides Hu Qingge.

But Ning Jiuzhou did nothing; that was his attitude.

Therefore, there's no need to do anything extra. Cutting the Gordian knot and severing this family bond is better than anything else.

Watching his daughter's back disappear into the room, the door opened and closed again. Ning Jiuzhou slumped into a chair, dejected. He thought his daughter hadn't suffered any loss and that the matter would be over soon. Who would have thought that the child would actually hate him?

He didn't believe in ghosts or gods and never thought that something like a ghost marriage to borrow luck would come true, so he didn't take his daughter's matter to heart at all.

Moreover, when he asked his wife, she denied it at all. He thought it was just a small conflict between his stepmother and stepdaughter that would pass with time.

However, it was clear that he wouldn't be able to get past his daughter.

After watching this dramatic scene of a father and daughter breaking up, the lawyer was filled with mixed emotions. It really does seem that with a stepmother, there will be a stepfather!

Having received 1.6 billion, Ning Yan headed straight to the mall. Unseen by others, Xu Jinchen had actually been by Ning Yan's side all day, constantly whispering in her ear, "Wife, even though you've lost your father, you still have me. I'll always be with you."

Ning Yan: ...Really, there's no need! She wasn't sad at all.

"Yes, let's live together happily from now on. It will be perfect when I get your family's property."

For the past seven days, they have been staying in the apartment studying those books. Xu Jinchen is learning and experimenting at the same time, and he has already gathered a large group of underlings.

The remaining three members of the Xu family had a terrible seven days. They were accompanied by a little ghost every day. Sometimes, when they washed their hands, blood would flow from the tap. Other times, they would see a blue-faced, toothy demon in the mirror. Still other times, a vengeful ghost would enter their dreams and try to strangle them. And sometimes, they would be pushed over by the little ghost while walking.

Xu's father hadn't slept well for seven days. He looked more like a ghost than Xu Jinchen, with big dark circles under his eyes, a pale face, and a listless demeanor. He looked like he wouldn't live much longer.

Zhang Yuke and her daughter were equally impressive.

Zhang Yuke was already heartbroken over her son's death, and then she started having ghostly encounters every day. She wanted to find a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits, but no Taoist priest wanted to take her case. She broke her leg the day before yesterday and is currently recovering in the hospital.

But even after arriving at the hospital, those ghosts didn't let her go; Zhang Yuke was already close to death.

Xu Ling'er was ten times worse off than her mother!

That night, when Master Yunyang performed his ritual, Ning Yan transferred all the bad luck from the original owner of the body to Xu Ling'er. Since she was not going to live long anyway, Xu Ling'er had already tormented herself to death without needing any ghosts to scare her.

Yes, Ning Yan just needs to wait patiently and she will soon inherit a huge fortune.

"Yes, you should also cultivate diligently. The stronger you are, the more secure my life will be. Once you become a Ghost Immortal, maybe we can have children."

The "Heavenly Secrets Technique" states that whether one is human, ghost, or beast, as long as one cultivates to a certain level, one can reshape one's physical body. When a ghost cultivates to the level of a Ghost Immortal, it transcends the category of ghost and gains a physical body.

The spiritual energy in this world is not very abundant, making it difficult to cultivate to the level of a human immortal. Of course, inadequate cultivation techniques also play a significant role in this.

But there are too many little devils in this world, and the ghostly aura is too strong.

In theory, it's much easier for a ghost to cultivate into a ghost immortal.

However, above the Ghost King is the Ghost Emperor, then the Ghost Sovereign, and next comes the Ghost Immortal, which corresponds to the Human Immortal.

Therefore, cultivating to the level of a ghost immortal is only theoretical; it may take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to achieve. However, being able to live a long and protracted life is a victory in itself.

When Xu Jinchen heard her say she wanted to have a child, he was speechless. Humans can have children, and ghosts can have ghost babies, but humans and ghosts are not the same species. He never thought he could have a child with Ning Yan. He was already lucky to have a wife.

But after studying those books on spiritual cultivation, I suddenly realized that having a child wasn't entirely hopeless.

Therefore, Xu Jinchen secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to cultivate and have more children with his wife in the future, so that many people would love his wife.

Ning Yan did a big shopping spree at the mall, and then had the items delivered directly to her hotel room.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the agreed coffee shop.

The post wasn't in vain; someone contacted her online, but the other party asked for a rather high price—five million for a single copy of "Su's Divination Techniques."

The five arts of Taoism include: mountain (immortals), medicine, fate, divination, and physiognomy.

Mountain arts involve cultivating the physical body and spirit through methods such as food, foundation building, esoteric texts, fist techniques, and talismans.

Medical techniques utilize methods such as prescriptions, acupuncture, and spiritual healing to treat diseases;

The art of destiny aims to improve one's life by deducing one's fate.

Physiognomy involves observing physical features to predict good or bad fortune.

Divination includes methods such as divination.

The other party mentioned the "Su Family Divination Techniques," so are there four other techniques as well? For example, the "Su Family Immortal Arts," the "Su Family Medical Arts," the "Su Family Fate Arts," and the "Su Family Physiognomy Arts"?

She asked the other party about it when she called, and it turned out to be true.

So the two agreed to meet today to inspect the goods in person and discuss the price.

Half an hour later, Ning Yan met the down-on-his-luck, naive young master Su Yan in a private room at the coffee shop.

Well, after learning the "Heavenly Secrets Technique," Ning Yan's first reaction upon seeing someone was to read their face.

With the Po Jun star and the Di Jie star entering the Life Palace, the person in front of you will not only suffer financial losses recently, but also experience setbacks in your love life.

Isn't this just like being cheated out of money by your girlfriend and then dumped?

"Hello, I am Ning Yan, and I am also the poster."

"I am Su Yan."

Ning Yan didn't intend to waste any more words and went straight to the point: "Did you bring the book? Let me take a look first, and then we can talk about the price."

Su Yan wasn't worried that she would run away with the books, so he handed over five old but well-preserved ancient books.

Ning Yan picked up the book "Su Family Divination Techniques" on top and began to read it. She read it very carefully, but in Su Yan's eyes, she just flipped through it quickly and finished the book in no time.

At that speed, let alone seeing it clearly, Su Yan suspected that she was just checking if any pages were missing.
