"You're the ugly one, you little rascal, your eyes are all black!" (blind)

The female ghost, hands on her hips, launched into a tirade of insults at the master.

Yao Yan didn't seem to care. No one knew where he learned the dialect, but he put his hands on his hips and started exchanging insults with the female ghost.

"My eyesight is perfectly fine, you old man, look in the mirror and see!"

(My eyesight is perfectly fine, sister, look in the mirror, you're horribly ugly. Please forgive any translation errors.)

The female ghost was probably very concerned about her appearance, as she turned around and rummaged through the pile of jewelry.

After a while, he found a small gilded bronze mirror, and confidently looked at his face.

Then a sharp wail echoed through the not-so-small room: "This is not my face, ahhh, you ugly monster!"

Yi Mu couldn't stand it and covered his ears. This female ghost must really be a sucker for good looks.

After a while, the female ghost calmed down, noticed something, and suddenly turned her head, staring greedily at Yi Mu's face.

"Give me your face, and I'll give you all the silver buried there, how about it?"

She stretched out her long, dark fingernails, staring at Yi Mu's face with a fascinated look.

Yi Mu stepped back, and Zong Ao glanced down at him, then shielded him behind him.

"Now that you've become a ghost, don't linger in the mortal world anymore. Bridges are bridges, roads are roads, go back to where you came from."

The female ghost froze, turned her gaze to Zong Ao, and stared intently as if to confirm something.

Yao Yan lazily poured cold water on her.

"Look closely, he's not your heartless man at all. You're really something, not only narcissistic but also face-blind."

The female ghost turned her head slowly, glaring at Yao Yan with her blood-red eyes: "My lord is not a heartless man, don't talk nonsense!"

Yao Yan ignored her and rummaged in his pocket, pulling out a yellow talisman.

Upon seeing the talisman, the female ghost's expression changed drastically. Ignoring Zong Ao's attempts to stop her, she darted like a snake behind Yi Mu.

She was a shrewd person even before she died, and she could tell at a glance who was the easiest to talk to here.

Sure enough, once they hid behind Yi Mu, the person radiating a scorching light stopped advancing.

"Hey, so if you keep hiding from me, there'll be no way to deal with you, right?"

Yao Yan casually made a hand seal and muttered incantations.

The female ghost, trembling and clutching Yi Mu's arm, cried out in a hoarse voice, "My benefactor, save me!"

Yi Mu wasn't the kind-hearted person who repaid evil with kindness. When he was possessed before, this older woman didn't give him any leeway at all.

He stood there unmoved, and the female ghost, seeing that he showed no pity whatsoever, began to sob and wipe her eyes.

His body went limp, and he knelt behind Yi Mu.

Yao Yan was halfway through making his decision when he jumped over and pulled Yi Mu away.

He shouted at the female ghost: "I saw that your aura was still quite pure, so I figured you hadn't harmed anyone and was going to let you go."

I never imagined you were so vicious! You ghost kneeling before a human, how much of your lifespan do you want him to sacrifice for you?!

The female ghost, who was sitting on the ground wiping away tears, looked up in surprise upon hearing this. Thick powder on her face fell off in a flurry, making her look rather pitiful.

"I...I don't know..."

Seeing that she was huddled up in fear and didn't seem to be faking it, Yi Mu stopped Yao Yan.

"She probably didn't mean it. She didn't do anything wrong by bothering me. I'll ask her what she really wants."

Yao Yan snorted. If you ask him, it would be best to just slap him to death, to save him from all that whining and nagging.

However, Yi Mu was drawn to him, and anyone who caught his eye would always be treated with more patience and affection.

"Alright, keep an eye on her. I'm going to catch up with the boss. You guys stay in the yard and don't go too far."
