Yue Jiuzhai thought Yue Jiunian was really too stupid, so she planned to go back first. However, Yue Jiunian wouldn't let her go and insisted that she help her think of a solution. Just as the two demon souls were chasing and fighting, two more souls floated over from not far away. One was a ghost, and the other was a demon soul.
When Yue Jiu Nian saw the two spirits, she pulled Yue Jiu Zai aside to make way for them and greeted them, saying, "Hi, are you out for some fresh air?"
The ghosts and demons responded when they heard a spirit greeting them. The ghost, holding a broken bowl and a pair of chopsticks, hurriedly said, "Yes, you are too!"
The demon spirit, holding a dark, tattered piece of cloth, said, "Yes, by the way, why are you still here? The gates of hell are about to open. If we don't go now, everything on the road will be looted. By midnight, very few people will be burning anything."
After they finished speaking, they sped up and floated forward, not caring how Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai would react to what they had said.
When Yue Jiu Nian first heard about the robbery, she was a little confused, but after seeing how fast the two souls in front of her ran, she understood.
Because it is the Ghost Festival, some kind-hearted people will take some clothes and food to the road to offer sacrifices to some wandering ghosts. So every night, when those ghosts come out, they will try to steal the things.
Because there are also many ghosts and monsters in the human world, they will also rush to rob them first. Otherwise, once the gates of hell are opened, fewer people will burn things, while more ghosts and monsters will come out to rob them.
While many ghosts can return to their homes and receive offerings from relatives and friends, many lonely spirits have no one to worship them anymore, so they have no choice but to go outside and steal things.
Yue Jiuzai looked at the two souls that were floating very fast and said, "So they went to steal things. But we don't need to steal, we can buy them ourselves. However, I remember that in the past, whenever the gates of hell opened, ghosts would fight over things. I wonder if Jiuling will encounter this."
"Oh well, who cares if we encounter her or not? Anyway, no ghost can hurt Jiu Ling. Let's go, come with me to the Jiang family to return to the spirit realm. I've already thought of a reason."
Yue Jiu Nian pulled the reluctant Yue Jiu Zai back into the Jiang family home and said, "Let's just show ourselves as soon as we go in. Anyway, it's not like they've never seen a ghost before, so they won't be scared."
Yue Jiuzai watched as Yue Jiunian transformed into Jiang Nian and flew into the courtyard, then followed her in. Curious, she asked, "What reason have you come up with?"
"Hehe, the reason is very simple, you'll see in a moment."
At this time, the Jiang family members were all at home and had not yet gone to sleep. Yue Jiu guessed that Jiang Hu and the others were probably still watching TV, so she flew directly to the living room.
Sure enough, she was right. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw a family of four sitting neatly on the sofa.
After Yue Jiu entered, she was about to greet them, but just as she was about to show herself and speak, she realized that something seemed off about the Jiang family tonight.
Normally, the Jiang family of four would watch TV together in the evenings, laughing and joking. But tonight was a little different. Although the TV was on, the atmosphere in the living room was somewhat oppressive.
They were all watching TV but were distracted, and they didn't even chat as usual. Apart from the sound of the TV, no one spoke in the entire living room, not even Jiang Hai, who was usually very talkative.
Seeing this, Yue Jiu Nian wondered if their condition was because she was 'dead'?
Thinking of this, Yue Jiu Nian said to Yue Jiu Zai behind her, "Sigh~, I never thought that Jiang Nian's death would be such a big blow to them."
Yue Jiuzai hadn't expected that an illegitimate daughter would be so important to them, but she still nudged Yue Jiunian and said, "Hurry up, we still have to go back."
"Oh, okay."
Just as the Jiang family of four was watching TV, 'Jiang Nian' and Yue Jiuzai suddenly appeared. Their appearance startled the Jiang family, but after the initial surprise, they all came up to check on the two ghosts.
When Jiang Hu saw 'Jiang Nian', he looked sad. He wanted to hug Yue Jiu Nian, but because he was a soul, he passed right through her body.
"Nian, Nian Nian, what happened between you and your senior sister? Why did you suddenly die?"
With red eyes, Jiang Hu asked Yue Jiu Nian, while Huang Qing, standing to the side, also shed tears. The two brothers, Jiang Yi and Jiang Hai, also looked at Yue Jiu Nian with sorrow on their faces, showing that they were truly heartbroken by Jiang Nian's death.
"Um, well, actually, my death is a good thing, so why are you all so sad?"
When Yue Jiu Nian saw their sad faces, she directly gave the reason she had thought of, which was actually the most ordinary reason.
She said, "Actually, we both died while fighting a demon. It was an accident, but it's also a good thing. You remember, I'm a cursed star. If I don't die, my friends and family will die because of me. If I die, you will be safe. I died to uphold justice, so I can be reincarnated and enjoy wealth and glory in my next life."
