Chapter 277 The Lazy Little Celestial Master Gets His Bride Stolen by the Yandere Ghost King 04
"I wasn't talking about you."
"No..." He didn't say anything to him?!
Jiang Wenshen's expression gradually turned terrified. He looked around and realized that there were only him and his brother in the living room. So... who was his brother talking to just now?
He gripped Yu Sheng's arm tightly, his body trembling, even his teeth chattering. "Brother, do you mean... there's something unclean in our house?"
The "unclean things" Jiang Wenshen was referring to were ghosts.
Yu Sheng subconsciously touched her earlobe and remained silent.
Perhaps there should be?
What he was wearing on his ear seemed to be more than just a small memorial tablet; it might have been the memorial tablet of a ghost that had died.
Just now, he sensed a faint aura of yin energy from the earring.
So, that scoundrel Gu Yuan tricked him? What happened to the promised magical artifact? Did he steal some unfortunate soul's memorial tablet instead?
888: This guy is really unlucky.
"I'm trying to reason with my earrings."
Jiang Wenshen relaxed, but the next second, his eyes widened again. "Brother, your earrings... the style is really strange. Why is there only one?"
"My master said this is a magical artifact, and there's only one of its kind," Yu Sheng said, shifting the blame onto Gu Yuan without any hesitation.
Hearing him say that, Jiang Wenshen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He almost thought his brother had been driven insane by that stinky Taoist priest.
After all, what normal person would talk to an earring, especially one shaped like a memorial tablet? Luckily, there were no words on the tablet, otherwise he might have actually advised his brother to take it off.
Yu Sheng: Don't worry, it can't be taken off anymore.
"What are you two doing over there?" After finishing her work, Jiang Wanyu sat down opposite the two men, which immediately increased Jiang Wenshen's pressure.
"No, my dear sister, I was just catching up with my brother!"
Yu Sheng nodded. "Yes."
Jiang Wanyu changed the subject, bringing up Yu Sheng's schooling: "Sheng Sheng, do you want to go to school? Or should we hire some tutors first?"
Yu Sheng was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Wanyu to care about this.
"Yeah, bro, it seems like you have a problem going to school. You probably never went to school, right?"
Yu Sheng fell silent.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed out on nine years of compulsory education; in today's terms, he should be called illiterate.
"Although I have never been to school, I know all the knowledge up to high school level. If I were to go to school, I could directly take the college entrance examination next year."
Jiang Wenshen was so shocked he couldn't speak. A chill ran from his feet to the top of his head, especially when Jiang Wanyu's glare fell on him.
He seemed to have already guessed what his dear sister was going to say.
"So, why are you so useless? A good-for-nothing who always ranks last in exams," Jiang Wanyu said with her arms crossed, sneering without considering Jiang Wenshen's feelings at all.
"Sis, that really hurts!"
"Do you want to hear something even more hurtful? Since Sheng Sheng doesn't need a tutor, but you... can't escape it. Hurry up and improve your garbage grades, or do you want to work as a bricklayer on a construction site after graduating from high school?"
"No, I want to be a freeloader. Anyway, my family can afford to support me. Sister, please take me in."
Jiang Wanyu rolled her eyes and stomped on his foot with her high heel. "You better study properly, or I'll skin you alive. You think you can be a parasite? Even parasites know to work hard to reproduce. What do you know?"
Jiang Wenshen weakly said, "I know I'm a good-for-nothing."
"It's good to know."
Jiang Wenshen hung his head. Even the single hair on his head looked droopy.
He does seem to be quite useless.
His sister and brother are both so capable, there's no reason why he should just be a useless nobody!
With that motivation, Jiang Wenshen's ahoge (cowlick) stood up again. He hugged 888 and said confidently, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"
888 turned her head and glanced at him.
Is this some kind of self-improvement through vomiting?
"Look, even the cat thinks I can succeed!" Jiang Wenshen hugged the cat, took a deep breath of its scent, which made 888 kick him in the face in disgust, and then leap into Jiang Wanyu's arms on the other side.
Jiang Wanyu stroked the cat, feeling a pang of sympathy for her good-for-nothing brother. "Look, even the cat dislikes you."
Jiang Wenshen was shocked to see the cat with its head bobbing up and down.
Do cats understand human speech now?
Does that mean that after a while, the cat will be able to talk?
The world had been transformed into a form he no longer recognized.
"Why don't you just go to university, bro? The college entrance exam just ended recently, right? I remember the most mysterious major at University A is metaphysics. They don't look at the college entrance exam results when they recruit people, they just look at fate. Bro, your major is a perfect match for that, and their admissions are in a week. Bro, do you want to go check it out?"
A University's metaphysics major?
That sounds interesting. He remembered that in the original story, the protagonist Pei Ziqing was a metaphysics major, while the protagonist Fu Chengfeng was a finance major. They were both college entrance exam takers this year.
Speaking of the original plot, it's roughly about Pei Ziqing being love-struck and liking Fu Chengfeng. Pei Ziqing is the kind of person who's popular with everyone, but unfortunately, he only likes Fu Chengfeng. Unfortunately, Fu Chengfeng has a white moonlight in his heart.
Pei Ziqing gradually won over Fu Chengfeng, and Fu Chengfeng realized that his ideal woman was Pei Ziqing.
If the story ends here, that would be great.
Unfortunately, one of Pei Ziqing's most devoted admirers, unable to bear Pei Ziqing's affection for Fu Chengfeng, somehow acquired some evil magic and set up a sacrificial array on the Ghost Festival, opening the gates to the underworld within the Fu family compound.
The entire Fu family, including Fu Chengfeng, perished without exception.
Pei Ziqing was devastated and, in his delirium, was taken over by an evil spirit, which indirectly caused the deaths of countless people.
The world almost collapsed.
Even that time at the Gate of Hell, a ghost king was released.
The Ghost King is definitely a villain. He says he can't find his bride and wants to destroy the world. To normal people, Chun Chun seems to have some serious illness.
Yu Sheng suddenly thought of something.
Wait, the Ghost King? A villain?!
Could her husband's identity this time be that of the mad ghost king searching for his wife?
Based on previous patterns, believe it or not, it's actually quite possible.
If it's a ghost... then his earring wouldn't be...
Yu Sheng fell silent, feeling that there was a high probability that the thing she was wearing in her ear was her husband's memorial tablet.
It's not impossible if it's a ghost.
Yu Sheng noticed that the earring's mood suddenly improved, and even the faint yin energy on the earring seemed to happily stick to the back of his ear.
Okay, no wonder they protested so much about covering it up before!
If this memorial tablet belongs to her love-struck husband, then everything makes sense.
(I'm taking a day off today. I need to get up early tomorrow to help entertain relatives, so there will only be one update. Tomorrow, depending on the situation, there might be one or two updates.)
