Yu Ling ultimately did not live to a ripe old age. The restless Yu Ling successfully died by constantly helping the detective and the protagonist with dangerous missions, and opened his eyes to a new world.

Phew—finally, he made it through. He didn't want to work for nothing his whole life, and he certainly didn't want to spend the rest of his life in a boring prison. He might as well just die.

After lamenting the hardships of the previous world, Yu Ling began to observe the new world.

? ? ?

This decor, this layout, this familiar car-themed building—how come it's another modern world?!

"System, didn't you say that modern planes are survival-friendly and rare? How come there are two modern planes right next to each other?"

[Hmm, host, this place is indeed friendly to humans, but wouldn't you like to check what you are right now?]

Yu Ling sensed her body; it was a human body with a human head, but the yin energy was a bit heavy... Oh, so she was a ghost.

A ghost? ? ?

This body clearly belongs to such a beautiful young girl, how could it be a ghost?!

"Wait a minute, ghosts are spirits, so how did I possess one?"

[Host, they don't know~]

"......."

I'm used to it, really.

Yu Ling looked around at the original owner's room. It was no different from the room of an ordinary human. Only in the attic could she sense many low-level ghosts sleeping. They should only wake up at night. Since she had nothing else to do, she might as well take over the original owner's memories first.

This is a supernatural world.

—The original owner was a soul without a body. In her previous life, she was a princess of an ancient country, but the long passage of time had worn away her memories. Apart from the name 'Wei Yuning', everything else was her experience after regaining her senses in modern times.

Wei Yuning is a ghost, but not that evil. She is just kind-hearted by nature, but after years of loneliness, she developed some psychological problems, which eroded her conscience and humanity.

But she only worked hard enough to cultivate until she could walk in the human world, just like an ordinary person. Later, she even started live streaming, earned money to buy a house here, and gathered a bunch of ghost followers.

It's a standard inspirational drama, but the problem lies in the fact that this world isn't so friendly to ghosts; there are even dedicated ghost-catching Taoist priests who are very popular. The protagonist is the only female disciple of a wandering Taoist priest, specializing in handling all sorts of supernatural events in the mortal world, from minor matters like feng shui consultations to major events like thunderbolts—she has a wide range of skills.

And so, the original owner of this body, who was a streamer searching for paranormal events, was live-streaming his adventures in the wilderness, using his underlings as actors, when he happened to run into the female lead during the live stream.

The outcome of a ghost confronting a Taoist priest was predictable. The live stream was immediately banned, and the original owner was severely injured, having to go home to recuperate. He also had to evade the female lead's pursuit from time to time, and his underlings dared not be released outside, forced to hide at home.

However, sitting idly by and waiting to die is clearly not a good approach, as the female lead will always find her through various means.

Besides, in the modern world, even if she were a ghost, she would still need money. Don't water, electricity, property management fees, and phone bills cost money?

So the original owner started live streaming again.

However, she didn't want to go it alone with her underling who would hold her back. Instead, she teamed up with other adventure streamers to explore various abandoned haunted houses and the like. But all of these places were set up by the owners who had already said they didn't want the houses anymore, so their entry wasn't considered trespassing.

Tonight, there happens to be another collaborative live stream. There are still three hours until the agreed meeting time. Yu Ling tidied herself up, applied makeup to her face, and put on a set of sportswear that was easy to move in. She looked pure and beautiful, and you couldn't tell at all that she was a ghost.

The original owner's live streams weren't very popular, and she didn't have many fans. The reason she was able to save enough money to buy a house was because she didn't need to eat or drink much and had few other needs.

The reason she was able to become a villain might be because she scared passersby when she created a live stream effect, or perhaps because she had too many henchmen.

Yu Ling wasn't entirely sure either, but based on past experience, she was certain that she would clash with the female lead on this trip, otherwise she wouldn't have traveled to this time of year.

Therefore, the ghost cultivation technique still needs to be practiced. Yu Ling went out and hailed a taxi. She was resting with her eyes closed in the back seat, and was also checking if there were any good deals available in the system shop when she heard a clear, cold female voice that was very familiar to the original owner.

"Driver, please stop at the orchard near Linyun Avenue."

"Okay, what a coincidence, we're going to the same place. Get in, get in, is it alright for you two young ladies to share a ride?"

The next question was of course directed at Yu Ling, but the driver didn't think Yu Ling would refuse. Soon, the car door opened and closed, and someone got in on Yu Ling's right.

A girl with straight bangs, long black hair, fair skin, and a beautiful but expressionless face, she and the original owner are quite complementary, one pure and the other aloof. Who else could this person be but the female lead?

"You really are a persistent ghost." Yu Ling pouted, true to her character, but she wasn't actually scared.

According to the rules of this world, ghosts cannot harm people during the day, and Taoist priests certainly cannot perform any 'miracles' that are incomprehensible to ordinary people, so a fight cannot break out.

Upon hearing the sound, the female lead, Tan Yiman, shifted her dark pupils to the side, but her body and head remained facing forward, as if she were not very familiar with her own body. She looked much more frightening than Yu Ling.

“I didn’t come here to see you,” she said.

Yu Ling actually believed it; few protagonists like the female lead are prone to lying.

"I haven't hurt anyone, can't you just let me go?"

Tan Yiman: "No, your very existence is a mistake."

Yu Ling didn't understand what he meant. "You're from a supernatural world, and you're telling her that the existence of ghosts is wrong?"

"Okay, okay, see you tonight then. By the way, where are you going?"

"Wenxi Villa District, No. 11".

"Oh, what a coincidence, me too."

The taxi driver sensed something was off. That villa area had been abandoned for years. He slammed on the brakes: "Wait a minute, where are you two young ladies going?"

Yu Ling & Tan Yiman: "Orchard".

Driver: I don't believe it.

Then the female lead and the villainous ghost were kicked off the car together.

Before leaving, the driver shouted in the taxi driver group, "There are two little girls in a certain place who look like this and are wearing such and such clothes. They say they want to go to an orchard, so don't pick them up. They're going to explore a haunted house!"

Yu Ling hadn't expected the driver to be so responsible, refusing to take them if he said he wouldn't. And the other taxis around them completely ignored them. She nudged the equally bewildered female lead beside her: "...That place is quite far. Can you fly on a sword?"

"Won't."

"Then how do we get there? I can't float during the day."

“Walk over there.”

The female lead answers every question, but her emotional intelligence is visibly nonexistent.
