Nan Qing was wearing a long lace nightgown with a slanted collar that subtly revealed her beautiful cleavage.

At this moment, she was holding a red-clad, black-haired ghost in her left hand and a bluish-purple-faced ghost boy in her right hand.

The two fierce ghosts, who were originally extremely ferocious, dared not move an inch in her hands, and even their mouths were tightly closed, showing no trace of their previous baring teeth and claws.

"Tsk."

She glanced disdainfully at her left and right hands, then flicked her fingertips, instantly turning them to ashes. The speed was so fast that the two vengeful ghosts didn't even have time to wail.

Nan Qing lazily raised her eyes and scanned the eerie room. Dozens of evil spirits of various shapes and sizes were huddled in the corners. Some were missing arms and legs, some had long intestines, and some had heads missing most of their brains... In short, they were all ugly!

Unlike the scene when she first opened her eyes and a hundred ghosts rushed at her, the room was now so quiet that the ghosts could be heard trembling and creaking. The evil ghosts that were so arrogant just now were now desperately shrinking their souls and minimizing their presence. They didn't even dare to leave without permission, let alone get close.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Are you waiting for me to offer you incense, or do you want to end up like these two vengeful ghosts?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the yin energy in the room surged suddenly. All the ghosts were as if they had been granted a pardon and rushed to squeeze into the cracks in the walls, floors, and windows, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would be annihilated. They didn't even dare to make a sound. Even the most talkative hanged ghost bit its tongue tightly and silently shrank into the ceiling, dragging its long tongue.

In just a few breaths, the yin energy in the room dissipated, leaving only the faint moonlight filtering through the window.

They couldn't understand it at all—how could the fragrant flesh just moments ago suddenly become so terrifying?!

Nan Qing walked barefoot to the mirror, looked at her overly soft and cute reflection and pouted. She then reached out and pinched Xiao Ba, who had just turned into a hedgehog and landed on the table.

"Xiao Ba, is this the kind of excitement you're talking about?"

In her previous life, she and Xiao Ba had agreed that they wanted to do something exciting in this life.

As soon as she closed her eyes on one side and opened them on the other, she saw a group of incredibly ugly ghosts surrounding her, their filthy drool almost dripping onto her!

[Host, isn't this exciting enough?]

Little Ba stared with eyes the size of mung beans, its tiny hedgehog face filled with disbelief. Nan Qing bent her index finger and tapped its pitifully small head.

"Where's the excitement? What's so exciting about ghosts?"

"If I like this kind of thrill, I'll just go to the underworld. Wouldn't that be thrilling every day?"

"Look at those ghosts! They're uglier than zombies from the apocalypse!"

Little Hachi's tiny body stiffened. Oh right, it forgot, its host only likes good-looking things, like... a round, fluffy little cutie like itself~~

Uh, wait, things seem to be getting a little bad now...

Upon realizing the problem, Xiao Ba instantly cowered, its little thorns bursting open. It then immediately shrank back, wrapping itself into a round, spiky ball, pretending to be dead.

Nan Qing glanced at the tiny hedgehog ball in her palm, snorted softly, and tossed its small body onto the soft bed.

Oh well, since we're already here, I'm too lazy to talk about it anymore.

"Alright, stop playing dead and tell me the plot of this world."

Xiao Ba rolled around on the bed several times. Hearing this, it carefully unfolded itself and looked at its beautiful host standing in front of the mirror with its wet, beady eyes.

Seeing that she wasn't really angry, I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, I escaped a disaster!

The beautiful host is furious; it wouldn't be good if she cut back on its food!

Then he quickly transmitted the plot of this small world through his consciousness.

As Nan Qing examined her appearance in this world, she sorted out the specifics of this world in her mind.

This is a modern world filled with supernatural elements. Although it looks no different from other modern small worlds she has visited before, with towering buildings, bustling traffic, and advanced technology, it is still a modern world.

However, beneath this glamorous facade lies another side that is inaccessible to ordinary people.

Behind the neon-lit city, many invisible shadows roam, perhaps on a midnight train platform, in an old apartment building, or in a dark alleyway or abandoned old house...

Sometimes they are even standing right behind you without you noticing. Of course, most people will never encounter them in their entire lives.

But some people are destined to be entangled with them.

In the shadows where yin and yang meet, lies a little-known ancient profession—the exorcist.

They walk between the realms of Yin and Yang, using talismans, spells, feng shui, and ritual implements to exorcise evil spirits and ward off misfortune for the living, and to resolve the obsessions of the deceased.

Some live in obscurity in the city, some hide in the halls of power, and some are just ordinary white-collar workers, doctors, antique dealers, etc. during the day.

Nan Qing is the youngest direct descendant of the Su family, a mysterious family of exorcists. Her exorcism talent is the best in her generation. She has a natural ability to see ghosts and is an exorcist with extremely high qualifications.

However, her birth chart is entirely Yin, and her fate is like a cold pool under the moon, making her extremely prone to attracting and entangled by ghosts. If she is not careful, she will be lured away by a vengeful ghost and have her body snatched away.

When she was three years old, a highly virtuous monk divined her fate and left behind a prophecy:

"This woman will face a life-or-death crisis at the age of 25. Once she overcomes the crisis, everything will be fine. However, this crisis... can only be overcome by one unique variable among all people."

But the exact nature of that so-called "one of a kind" possibility remains impossible to calculate.

Exorcists walk on the edge of the yin and yang worlds, dealing with vengeful spirits and vengeful ghosts every day. A slight mistake can shorten their lifespan. Nan Qing's constitution is like a beacon in the night for those ghosts, a delicacy in the eyes of hungry ghosts, its fragrance spreading for miles, tempting them to drool.

The Su family doted on their daughter, so no matter how talented Nanqing was, they refused to let her enter the world of exorcism. They even sought out many magical artifacts to suppress her spirit, so that ordinary evil spirits dared not approach her.

Just now, because the original soul dissipated, Nanqing's divine soul possessed it. In that instant, a hundred ghosts fought each other, wanting to possess it and restore its yang state.

"So, the only task for this small world is to successfully survive this year's life-or-death ordeal?"

【Yes, host, it's super easy for you~ And this world is really interesting, you can go and have some fun in the underworld~】

The underworld and the netherworld are completely different. I've heard that the netherworld on earth is quite interesting!

Nan Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, listening to Xiao Ba's excited tone, and gave it a disdainful look.

What's so interesting about the underworld? Those ghosts are so ugly.

However, this task was indeed simple for her. Since she was the one who possessed this body, the so-called life-or-death calamity had already dissipated.

But she still has several decades of lifespan left in this world, so she can certainly have some fun...

But to Nan Qing's surprise, the chosen one of this world was actually her brother, her own brother!!

Nan Qing: "......"

This is a bit bad. It shouldn't be that outrageous, right?
