Having killed her sister who she grew up with, she couldn't help but feel remorse and fear. However, when she thought that she wouldn't have to worry about being exposed in front of Tang Bi and could marry him smoothly, she was more looking forward to the future.
As Xie Wanlin wished, she successfully married Tang Bi.
On the eve of her wedding, she came to the lake, burned paper for Xie Wanxiang, and confessed to her, "Sister, don't blame me, I just love Brother Tang too much..."
What she didn't know was that after Xie Wanxiang's death, her soul did not dissipate, but instead lingered by the lake.
She couldn't believe what her sister said. She rushed towards her frantically, wanting to question her, but she couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.
Three days later, Tang Bi accompanied Xie Wanlin back home. They walked hand in hand across the lake. They were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Xie Wanxiang saw this scene and was trembling with hatred.
She hated Tang Bi for confusing her with Xie Wanlin, hated her sister whom she had always loved and trusted for killing her for a man, and hated her parents for believing Xie Wanlin's words and not even investigating the cause of her death...
In the face of hatred day after day, Xie Wanxiang's obsession deepened, and she was surrounded by hostility. One day, she suddenly broke free from the Xie family.
The first thing she wanted to do was to find Xie Wanlin, but unfortunately she didn't know where the Tang family was. While wandering around, she felt a sudden suction force.
She was sucked into a bead, and she instinctively wanted to break free from it, otherwise she would be completely swallowed by it if time went on.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally sucked the bead back. An extra bead appeared in her dantian, and her soul became much more solid.
Through this bead, she can create nightmares for others and strengthen herself by absorbing their emotions of fear.
She increased her strength step by step.
However, she was becoming more and more impatient. She was afraid that by the time she went to look for them, Xie Wanlin and Tang Bi would have already died. Then what would be the point of her looking for them? The Ghost Festival was the day when the yin energy between heaven and earth was the heaviest. It was also the most suitable day for ghosts to travel. She had wanted to do it last year, but at that time she suddenly felt an extremely strong force.
She felt that she might not be able to hold out for even a breath under this power before her soul flew away. So she held it in and waited for another year.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened during this year's Ghost Festival.
As long as she absorbs the fear of the people in the city, she will be able to completely refine the Nightmare Pearl, and then she will have no problem traveling even in the daytime.
When Shen Yizi woke up, it was already bright.
Master Changfeng was still sitting cross-legged on the couch without moving. The sunlight coming in from the window gave him a layer of gold, and he seemed to have become a compassionate statue.
She got up from the bed, and Changfeng opened his eyes, "How is it?"
"Her name is Xie Wanxiang. She was killed by her own sister. She was full of resentment and by chance she refined the Nightmare Pearl, which turned her into a Nightmare Ghost. Her obsession is to find her sister Xie Wanlin and the beloved person that was taken away by her sister. As for whether it's revenge or something else, I don't know."
Once you know what the nightmare ghost is obsessed with, you can find the right remedy.
That night, Shen Yizhi entered the dream again. This time the dream was about Gu Xueting. His magic poison was completely out of control. She had no choice but to feed him the Soul Cleansing Pill. As a result, the scene changed. He was with another woman. He didn't remember her at all and was extremely indifferent to her.
Even though he knew he was dreaming, Shen Yizi still couldn't help feeling scared.
As expected of a nightmare ghost, he is very good at stirring up fear in people.
When Xie Wanxiang entered her dream and tried to devour her fear, Shen Yizhi used the dream-mongering technique taught by Changfeng to trap her in his dream.
Originally, with the help of the Nightmare Pearl, Xie Wanxiang could freely enter and exit people's dreams, but now she can't get out.
However, Shen Yizhi's dream-making skills were not mature enough, and he could not trap Xie Wanxiang for too long, so he could only get straight to the point: "I can help you find Xie Wanlin and Tang Bi, and I can also take you out of Lang City, but you have to release the people in the city."
Another night has passed.
In the morning, Shen Yizhi woke up, and so did the people in the city.
"Huh? Why am I sleeping here?"
"Wasn't I setting off lanterns by the river? Why did you suddenly faint?"
"What happened before?"
…
Everyone recalled what had happened before and found it unbelievable.
Last night in a dream, Shen Yizhi and Xie Wanxiang reached an agreement after some negotiations.
The two of them formed an equal contract, so that Xie Wanxiang could follow Shen Yizhizi away and no longer be trapped in Langcheng.
Shen Yizhi will also help her find the whereabouts of Xie Wanxiang and Tang Bi and take her to them.
Correspondingly, Xie Wanxiang had to let go of all the people in the city.
It is okay for a person to have a nightmare occasionally, but if the person is used as a tool to create dreams and is trapped in the nightmare for a long time, not only will the spirit be unable to bear it, but the body will also be exhausted due to lack of nourishment.
If Xie Wanxiang disagrees, Shen Yizi can do nothing about it.
Fortunately, she finally agreed to the conditions she proposed.
When Shen Yizhi and Changfeng were walking on the street, they could occasionally hear people talking about what happened on the night of the Ghost Festival.
After parting with Master Changfeng at the street corner, Shen Yizi went to Manfuju in Bajiao Lane.
After assigning a mission to find someone at Manfuju, he took Xie Wanxiang, with whom he had just signed a contract, back home.
The moment they left Lang City, Xie Wanxiang emerged from the nightmare bead worn on Shen Yizi's wrist.
Xie Wanxiang is different from ordinary ghosts. She is now a being closer to a spirit. The Nightmare Pearl is her body. After forming a contract with her, Shen Yizi wore the Nightmare Pearl on his wrist.
Xie Wanxiang was very curious about the world outside Langcheng. Shen Yizhi slowed down the speed of Tianzhou, put up a layer of protective shield, and adjusted it to a mode that could block the sunlight.
Xie Wanxiang is a soul after all, and being exposed to the sun for a long time would cause her great harm.
After returning home, Shen Yizhi did not restrict Xie Wanxiang's behavior, as long as she didn't do anything wrong.
Xie Wanxiang especially liked Qingbao and the others, and often followed them around, watching them play.
Her favorite is Nian Nian, because Nian Nian is the only person who can see her besides Shen Yizhi, the contract person.
When Shen Yizhi received the message from Manfuju, Xie Wanxiang was lying in front of Nian Nian without blinking, watching her eat ice cream spoonful by spoonful.
That look clearly says "I want to eat".
Nian Nian: "Sister Xie, you can't eat it, so don't look at it."
Xie Wanxiang immediately revealed a resentful expression.
Compared to the beginning, she is now paler, but she no longer has that gloomy and ghostly aura.
