Chapter 403: The human heart is scarier than a ghost
Ye Wanxi wasn't satisfied with just beating him; she kept muttering as she hit him, "Serves you right for being so restless so late at night! Serves you right for wandering around like that! Don't you know everyone's resting at this hour? Were you doing this on purpose? Tell me, were you doing this on purpose?"
Two people huddled together, trembling, not far away: "..." Although, ghosts don't come out at night, do they have to come during the day? You're asking too much of ghosts!
The one-sided beating didn't last long. A few minutes later, Ye Wanxi, wearing panda pajamas, sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking some iced juice that Gao Min had gotten. She had finally calmed down a bit.
在她隔壁的沙发上，两个小情侣紧紧拥抱在一起，目光在叶婉汐与她跟前那只还抱头蹲在地上，披头散发看不清脸的女鬼之间来回，眼中满是惶恐，也不知道是害怕这个女鬼多一点，还是害怕揍起鬼来毫不留情的叶婉汐多一点。
Ye Wanxi was jolted awake by the chilled juice, and her spirits finally lifted a little. She turned her gaze and met the pitiful female ghost in front of her, who was too scared to move.
"If you're sober now, pull yourself together. To put it nicely, your behavior is something you can't control; to put it bluntly, it's trespassing. Don't think that just because you're a ghost you can break the law. Coming to my house in the middle of the night to cause trouble, you won't be leaving here today unless you explain yourself properly."
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, the lumps squatting there finally reacted, trembling as they raised their heads to look at Ye Wanxi, their eyes filled with tears of grievance.
Surprisingly, the female ghost wasn't beaten black and blue as Gao Qiang and the others had expected. Instead, she looked much more delicate than the dark, murky figure she had been before.
This is all thanks to Ye Wanxi, who, despite her anger, still knew how to control herself when beating up the ghost. She knew that the ghost had been bewitched and had mistaken Qi Xiaolian for her cousin.
There's a cause for every grievance, and a debtor for every crime. If this ghost is going to settle scores with Qi Xiaolian's cousin, Ye Wanxi won't care.
But now it's harming innocent people, so you can't blame Ye Wanxi for getting involved in this mess.
In particular, the moment Ye Wanxi saw the ghost, she suddenly smelled a strange odor on it. The ghost had been cursed, and the person was intentionally driving it to harm people, turning it into a truly blood-stained, ferocious ghost, and then taking it for their own use.
It's obvious that this is related to the mastermind behind finding a scapegoat for Qi Xiaolian's cousin!
When Ye Wanxi beat the female ghost, she didn't use any magic power. Although she seemed to beat her badly, she didn't actually harm the ghost's soul. She only dispersed the extremely alluring evil aura on the ghost's body, revealing the ghost's true nature.
The female ghost looked to be in her early twenties, about the same age as Ye Wanxi, and even younger than Gao Qiang and the others, which was something they hadn't expected.
Seeing her like this, Qi Xiaolian and the others calmed down and became curious about what grudge this person had with Qi Xiaolian's cousin that made her hate Qi Xiaolian's cousin so much that she wanted to kill her.
"You...you're not Qi Yanjiao?"
Qi Yanjiao is the name of Qi Xiaolian's cousin.
At this point, no matter how much Qi Xiaolian tried to deceive herself, she could no longer fool herself into believing that the person who had harmed her so badly was indeed her cousin!
"Qi Yanjiao is my cousin, and my name is Qi Xiaolian, and I am her cousin."
"Cousin? How could this happen... How could this happen... You clearly smell like her."
"Because she was dragged into this as a scapegoat."
"scapegoat?"
"Qi Yanjiao had someone sabotage things so that you would treat her as Qi Yanjiao. Whether it's a grudge or a long-standing resentment, you will all use her as Qi Yanjiao to take revenge. When she dies in place of Qi Yanjiao, you will also become real vengeful ghosts for taking lives and having your hands stained with blood. You will be subdued by the 'master' behind Qi Yanjiao in the name of eliminating evil for the people, and become their puppets for all eternity, working for them to harm people."
The female ghost was greatly shocked by Ye Wanxi's words and almost turned into a vengeful ghost again on the spot, but Ye Wanxi slapped her to stop.
Qi Xiaolian and the others were terrified by this horrific and meticulous plan, feeling that the human heart was indeed more terrifying than ghosts. When it got ruthless, it could not only disregard blood ties and kinship to kill people, but it would not even spare ghosts.
The female ghost, unable to vent her anger after being slapped by Ye Wanxi, was so aggrieved that she burst into tears, which made Qi Xiaolian and the others feel sorry for her.
"Don't cry, it's not that serious yet, is it?"
"How come it's not that serious? I was bullied by her in life, and after death I thought I could punish her with my own strength, but I found that I'm still just as weak as before. If it weren't for Sister Fu and the others, I wouldn't even have a chance to get close to her. That's not all, I even mistook her for someone else and was used by someone else to almost take revenge on the wrong person. How can I be so useless, waaaaaah..."
Ye Wanxi's head was throbbing from her noise, and she finally snapped, "Shut up!"
The other person covered their mouth in fright, staring at Ye Wanxi with wide eyes. Although Ye Wanxi's fist hadn't shattered their soul, the pain was real.
It's too cruel to be beaten even after you're dead; she doesn't want to suffer this injustice anymore QAQ.
"Neither that woman nor the people behind her who aided and abetted her are any good. Here's your chance to explain your situation with that woman clearly. Maybe after hearing it, our sense of justice will kick in and we can help you."
The female ghost's eyes brightened slightly. In her opinion, although the person in front of her was somewhat ferocious, he was indeed a ruthless person who would even beat up ghosts. Perhaps she could really help them get revenge and kill that bitch Qi Yanjiao!
"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..." Ye Wanxi saw through his intention to exaggerate and shot him a sharp look.
The female ghost's expression changed drastically, and she immediately became docile.
Even without her embellishment, Qi Yanjiao's actions were still quite egregious.
The female ghost's name was Zhen Huijuan. She and Qi Yanjiao were classmates at the same university, but they were from different colleges and majors, so they shouldn't have had any interaction.
Zhen Huijuan's misfortune lay in the fact that she had a male best friend she had grown up with since childhood.
Unfortunately, Qi Yanjiao took a liking to this male best friend and began to pursue him relentlessly.
Zhen Huijuan's male best friend hates spoiled, arrogant girls like Qi Yanjiao the most. Unfortunately, Qi Yanjiao, who has had everything she wants since childhood, doesn't know how to know when to stop. She has to get whatever she wants.
Zhen Huijuan's male best friend rejected her countless times but still couldn't get rid of him. In fact, his pursuit methods became increasingly intense, and she finally couldn't bear it any longer.
He had no choice but to ask Zhen Huijuan to save the day, who would pretend to be his girlfriend in an attempt to persuade Qi Yanjiao to back off.
Unexpectedly, his presumptuous actions provoked Qi Yanjiao's rebellion and ultimately led to Zhen Huijuan's tragedy.
