Grandpa Fu sighed, his face full of sorrow: "My grandson Fu Yunche has been weak since childhood. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with narcolepsy and a rare blood disease. The doctor said he wouldn't live much longer. He's so young, and he's about to face death. It's heartbreaking."
Old Master Fu's eyes welled up with tears of sorrow.
Chu Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for Fu Yunche's fate.
As if remembering something, Old Master Fu quickly wiped away his tears and said with a hint of excitement, "A few days ago, I met a Taoist priest at the ghost market. The priest told me that my grandson's life was not meant to end, and that as long as I found someone, he could help him get rid of disaster and prolong his life."
After he finished speaking, he looked intently at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu's heart skipped a beat: "You're not talking about me, are you?"
Grandpa Fu nodded: "Yes! It's you. To tell you the truth, that Taoist priest is your master, Taoist Changfeng."
Chu Yu's lips twitched. Thinking of what her master had said to her in her dream, she suddenly realized that this was the trap he had set.
A sense of foreboding washed over her, and she asked, "Then what did my master say I should do to extend his life?"
Old Master Fu replied solemnly, "Taoist Changfeng said that as long as you marry Yun Che, you can change his fate of dying young and allow him to live longer."
Chu Yu exclaimed in surprise, "What?! Marriage?!"
“Your master said that you and Yun Che are a perfect match according to your birth charts, and it’s a match made in heaven. We’ve discussed it and decided to arrange this marriage for you.”
Chu Yu: "Huh???"
Is it really that hasty?
Grandpa Fu chuckled and handed her a red brocade book from the side.
Chu Yu took it and opened it. It was a marriage certificate, which listed her and Fu Yunche's birth dates and the marriage contract. Her master was the witness, and Fu Yunche's old master's signature and personal seal were at the end.
In an instant, countless images of grass monstrous symbols raced through Chu Yu's mind.
Holy crap! The two old men just tied her and Fu Yunche together like that, all fresh and beautiful.
No wonder the order specifically noted that she should stay and have dinner with them; it turns out they were setting a trap for her.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Grandpa Fu quickly comforted her, "Although my Yunche is not in good health, he is exceptionally handsome and talented. You will definitely like him when you meet him."
Chu Yu secretly thought to herself that although Fu Yunche was an outstandingly handsome man, she didn't like arranged marriages.
Upon closer reflection, she realized that her master wouldn't be so kind as to ask her to extend Fu Yunche's life for free, so she asked, "Grandpa Fu, what benefits did you promise my master?"
Old Master Fu smiled and said, "Isn't your Taoist temple in debt? I promise to help you pay off half of it. As for the other half, the Fu family is rich. Once you and Yun Che get married, paying off the debt will be a piece of cake."
Chu Yu: "...!!!"
Good heavens, Master has sold her out.
That damned old man.
Chu Yu took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She looked at the marriage certificate in her hand, somewhat troubled: "Even if I agree, you have already passed away. This marriage certificate was signed in the underworld. If it is brought to the human world, the Fu family may not believe it."
This is so outrageous that no one with a sound mind would believe it.
Grandpa Fu was not worried at all and said confidently, "Don't worry, I will make the Fu family believe that you can bring the marriage certificate to the Fu family to find my wife in two days."
Seeing his determined gaze, Chu Yu had no choice but to believe him and accept the marriage certificate.
Grandpa Fu was very happy and kept giving her a series of instructions.
An hour later, Chu Yu got up to say goodbye. Before leaving, she suddenly thought of a question and asked, "How did you know I was delivering food for the Underworld Group?"
This order seemed to have been placed specifically for her to come to our door.
Grandpa Fu told him the truth: "Your master told me."
Chu Yu's lips twitched; her master's information network was indeed impressive.
After leaving the house, Chu Yu's phone beeped: [Order complete. 5-star review received. Points +50, Merit Points +50!]
Points and merits are linked to positive reviews; the more positive reviews you get, the more rewards you receive, while negative reviews will result in deductions.
Chu Yu was in a good mood and rode her electric scooter to the Heaven and Earth Bank in the Ghost City.
This time, Old Master Fu gave a total of 100,000 ghost money for delivery and as a tip. He originally wanted to give more, but Chu Yu politely declined.
The exchange rate between ghost money and human currency is five to one, meaning five pieces of ghost money can be exchanged for one yuan.
Last time, Wang Qiang gave her 5,000 ghost coins as a delivery fee. She took these 100,000+ ghost coins to the Heaven and Earth Bank and exchanged them for more than 20,000.
Chu Yu was secretly delighted; being a deliveryman in the underworld was indeed a highly sought-after and lucrative job.
...
At 10:30 p.m., Chu Yu returned home and quickly went to her room. She took out the incense her master had left behind from the drawer, lit one, and put it in the incense burner. A strange fragrance wafted out, and she felt sleepy. She went to bed and quickly fell asleep.
After entering the dream, Chu Yu found herself back in the same grove of trees. Looking ahead, she saw her master sitting there fishing, just like before.
Upon seeing her master, she stormed over angrily and demanded, "Master, how could you sell me without my consent? You're despicable!"
Daoist Changfeng anticipated her reaction, calmly put down his fishing rod, stroked his beard, and earnestly advised, "Disciple, don't be angry. Fu Yunche is the one who can change your destiny, and you can also change his. You are each other's destined ones. Getting engaged is the natural course of things and is good for both of you."
Chu Yu coldly retorted, "This isn't some excuse you came up with after you sold me out, is it?"
Master Changfeng immediately retorted, "How could that be an excuse? You must believe your master. I'm doing all this for your own good. As for Old Master Fu helping to pay off the debt, isn't that to lighten the burden on you and your fellow disciples? It's a win-win situation."
Hearing him say that, Chu Yu couldn't find a reason to refute him for a moment. She thought for a moment and said with some difficulty, "However, Fu Yunche's fate is very difficult to change and very troublesome. I don't have any way to deal with it at the moment."
Master Changfeng patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, I left you a secret manual. You just need to do what's written in it."
He pulled an ancient book from his pocket and handed it to Chu Yu. Chu Yu opened it and her face turned pale: "Erotic illustrations?"
Master Changfeng was embarrassed and hurriedly snatched the book back, awkwardly explaining, "I picked up the wrong one, this is the one."
He quickly gave her a different book.
Chu Yu took the book, but her eyes remained fixed on the "Spring Palace Pictures" in his hand.
Master Changfeng hurriedly put the book away, touched his nose, and explained with a vacant look in his eyes: "This book of erotic pictures does not belong to me. It was temporarily left with me by a ghost friend."
He quickly changed the subject: "After you successfully extend Fu Yunche's life, if you don't like him, you can get a divorce. You won't lose out then."
Chu Yu thought about it for a moment and decided it was a good idea. She looked at her master, and then asked with a suspicious gaze, "Master, when you passed away, you said that you had achieved perfect merit and were going to ascend to heaven. Why have you been wandering around the underworld lately?"
The familiar figure I saw in the ghost town before seems to be him.
