Wu Zi nodded to Xu Yi: "The ghost of lust is bound by lust in life, and cannot escape the word 'lust' even after death, making reincarnation difficult."
Xu Yi was very curious: "How could a young lady like him have the aura of a lecher?"
Before the three standing ghosts could react, the kneeling ghost raised its head in terror: "Xiangqi? It's her again... How come her troubles aren't over yet..." Then it started sobbing...
It was the first time Xu Yi had ever seen a man cry, and also the first time she had ever seen a male ghost cry. Seeing the male ghost on the ground with tears and snot streaming down his face, she thought it was too ugly and advised, "Don't cry..."
The male ghost ignored her and cried even more bitterly... his wails grew louder and louder...
Xu Yi was so annoyed by the crying on the ground that she raised her voice and shouted, "Stop crying..."
The male ghost was startled, then quickly wiped away his tears, and looked at Xu Yi with a smile: "I won't cry anymore, I won't cry anymore, Grandma, what do you need me for..."
Xu Yi was somewhat surprised by the male ghost's rapid change of expression, and then tentatively asked, "Do you know Xiang Qi?"
“I know her,” the male ghost admitted quickly, then waved his hand rapidly, “but I didn’t haunt her, she came looking for me herself, really…”
Wu Zi was puzzled: "How could a young lady like Xiang Qi be interested in a lecher like you?"
“It’s true,” the ghost on the ground immediately knelt down perfectly and raised his finger to swear, “It really was her who found me, I swear to God…”
Swearing an oath to heaven seems to have little effect on mortals, but it's incredibly effective against demons and ghosts under the heavenly law...
The male ghost's actions left all three of them speechless. Xu Yi, being a woman herself, naturally found it hard to believe and pressed, "Impossible, why would he want a lecherous ghost like you?"
Unexpectedly, the male ghost on the ground lowered his head as if shy: "This... naturally still has some use..."
"What's it for?"
The male ghost looked at Xu Yi with surprise, then glanced uncertainly at the two men beside him. Seeing the expressions on their faces, he knew Xu Yi was genuinely asking him, and he said rather apologetically and tactfully, "Well… since I'm a lecherous ghost, I do have some experience in matters of the bedchamber…" He then added, almost boastfully, "I must say, Miss Xiangqi is quite satisfied with me…"
"What?" Xu Yi frowned even more. "What are you talking about? I asked you why Xiang Qi wanted to see you. What do you mean by saying you're good at what? What do you mean by 'very satisfied'?"
At this point, Wu Zi couldn't bear to watch any longer and tugged at Xu Yi, while Bai Er's face also turned bright red...
Wu Zi whispered, "It's about that kind of thing between a man and a woman in their private quarters..."
"What is it?" Xu Yi had never been in a relationship during her lifetime, and after death, she had no idea about the relationship between men and women... She looked at Wu Zi and Bai Er beside her with a puzzled expression...
Bai Er blushed furiously, seemingly lost in thought, and dared not look Xu Yi in the eye. His gaze kept darting around, and he wouldn't move towards Xu Yi...
Wu Zi didn't know how to explain it in more detail, so he looked at the lecherous ghost on the ground and said, "You tell me."
"Huh?" The lecherous man was somewhat surprised and said with a hint of fear, "How about I let the young lady take a look?"
The two grown men's expressions changed drastically upon hearing the word 'look,' and they stopped him, saying, "No..."
"Why not..." Xu Yi was now confused: "It's possible, show me."
"No... absolutely not..." Wu Zi waved his hand, seeing Xu Yi's serious expression, he could only threaten the male ghost, "If you dare to show her, I'll beat you to death..."
The male ghost knelt on the ground and shrank back, then said ingratiatingly, "Then... would you two please?"
Now the two of them were at a loss for words. Xu Yi, who was very anxious, separated them and said to the male ghost, "Ignore them, show me..."
"Really?" The male ghost confirmed again, casually glancing at the two men's expressions. Seeing that they were both looking at him with a threatening expression, he looked at Xu Yi with a fawning expression: "This... I dare not..." He also glanced at the two people next to him.
Xu Yi looked at the two of them: "You two won't tell me, and you won't let him tell me, how am I supposed to know?"
"This... is too dirty..." Bai Er said weakly, "It's not suitable to look at..."
"Then tell us!"
The two fell silent again. Xu Yi could only look at the male ghost again: "Show me, and I'll stop them from beating you up."
“Alright,” the male ghost said, looking eager to try. He then stood up and poured his memories into Xu Yi’s brow. Bai Er and Wu Zi didn’t even have time to stop him…
A moment later, an unusual blush appeared on Xu Yi's face. Enraged, she punched the male ghost, accusing him, "You...you shameless..." Now Xu Yi finally understood why the two men were so vehemently opposed. Looking at the two men who were eyeing her suspiciously, Xu Yi felt utterly ashamed and vented all her anger on the male ghost...punching him relentlessly...
Xu Yi was now putting all her strength into hitting the male ghost, and in her anger and embarrassment, she even used her ghostly energy... smashing the male ghost on the ground until he screamed, "Ah...it hurts...it hurts...Grandma, have mercy! You said you wouldn't hit me..."
The accusation interrupted Xu Yi's anger, and she stammered in rebuttal, "I... I said I stopped them, it was me who hit you..."
The male ghost clutched his head in grievance, repeatedly accusing Xu Yi: "You bully people...you bully ghosts..." He dared not fight back, and could only watch helplessly as he was beaten black and blue. Unable to bear it any longer, he sobbed again: "You bully people...ah...you bully ghosts..."
Hearing the shrill ghostly cries in her ears, and glancing at the male ghost huddled on the ground after being beaten, Xu Yi finally regained her senses and stopped...
But the male ghost kept crying, his cries growing louder and more piercing, until Xu Yi's ears ached. She patted him and said, "Stop crying..."
Hearing Xu Yi's advice, the male ghost only howled louder. Helpless, Xu Yi roared again, "If you cry again, I'll keep beating you..."
The male ghost immediately stopped crying and then smiled at Xu Yi: "Don't cry anymore, Grandma, what are your orders?"
Xu Yi quickly steered the conversation back to the main point, asking, "Tell me, what's going on between you and Xiang Qi? Explain everything clearly."
“Alright,” the male ghost replied good-naturedly, kneeling properly again before continuing, “My name is A-Xi. I’ve been dead for decades. Although I’m a lecherous ghost, I’ve been trapped in this place and have never bothered anyone. That day, someone suddenly summoned me, saying that a young lady was willing to be my wife, and even tied a red thread for me… When I saw that she was a beautiful young lady, I was overjoyed and agreed… I used all my charm to please her…”
Xu Yi interrupted, blushing, "Let's skip this part..."
"Okay, okay..." The male ghost quickly nodded, "She was the one who summoned me, and she willingly tied the red thread with me, so she should have been aware of the consequences... But when she saw that her health was getting worse, she went back on her word and started looking for people to kill me..."
At this point, the male ghost pouted, looking aggrieved: "It's all my fault for misjudging people. I never expected that when she was nice, she would cherish me like a treasure, but when she was mean, she would say that I was clinging to her, and in the end, she even sent a powerful demon to exorcise me, with an attitude of never giving up until death..."
"A great demon?" Xu Yi quickly tugged at Bai Er: "Is it the one that shares the same origin as him?"
“Yes,” the male ghost nodded, “but thankfully that demon had eyes. He only severed our karmic connection and let me go. Since then, I’ve stayed here without stepping out of the house until I just met the three of you…”
Xu Yi looked at Bai Er: "Your brother has cultivated for thousands of years, he should be able to see these causal lines clearly. He..." Xu Yi asked tentatively: "Has he told you about these things?"
“No,” Bai Er shook his head, “When my brother dealt with Xiang Qi’s matter, he only said it was a small matter and that we didn’t need to both of us to get involved, so I didn’t participate. All I know is that his health hasn’t been very good since he dealt with Xiang Qi’s matter… and his cultivation has also shown signs of regression. When I asked him, he just said that he was slightly injured and would recover in a while…”
Wu Zi and Xu Yi exchanged a glance, and Wu Zi spoke up: "At that time, he should have already suffered the backlash from the Heavenly Dao..."
"Bai Da knew perfectly well about Xiang Qi's affair with the lecherous man, yet he still selflessly risked the backlash to help her. Afterwards, he didn't hold her past against her and treated her sincerely. He even went so far as to defend the Prime Minister's residence with impeccable security because of his love for her..." Xu Yi sighed, "It seems that Bai Da truly loves Xiang Qi to the core..."
“I know…” Bai Er murmured, “I know my brother likes Xiang Qi, but I never expected him to go to such lengths for love… In my memory, my brother has always been very rational…”
Thinking of the general who had refused her arranged marriage during his lifetime, Xu Yi sighed, "Love... there's never any logic to it..."
Xu Yi, lost in her own thoughts, failed to notice the expressions of the two people beside her. One's eyes held a lingering affection that betrayed her sense of impossibility and a rational retreat; the other's were an open and blatant display of love...
The lecherous man kneeling on the ground saw everything clearly and couldn't help but click his tongue twice, drawing the attention of several people. Three pairs of eyes stared at him, and he quickly smiled sheepishly, looking at Xu Yi with a fawning expression and asking, "Grandma, I've told you everything I know. Can you let me go?"
Xu Yi pursed her lips, about to ask why, but Wu Zi was much clearer: "You said you were awakened by someone. Who awakened you? Do you recognize that person?"
“I recognize him, I recognize him. He’s the guy from the west side of the city. I’ve heard about him from other passing ghosts before. He’s the kind of guy who only cares about money and will take any job. I heard he even wants to be the Imperial Advisor… but I don’t think he’s a good person…”
"The reason?" Xu Yi looked at Wu Zi: "Isn't it the one who exposed Bai Da's identity at the engagement banquet?"
Bai Er nodded: "Yes, it was him. I was there at the time, and it was indeed him who informed the Prime Minister of our identities..."
