Chapter 101: The Wrathful Spirit Rises and the Soul Puppet Returns
"Is there a big difference between raising a little ghost and a Kumantong?"
Huang Aoqing was a little confused.
"Of course. Kumantong is a request, while Xiaogui is forced."
"The soul of a dead child is forcibly imprisoned in the ghost-raising materials. Because of this, the ghost is extremely resentful. Although it can help the host achieve a better fortune, if the offerings are not made well, it may backfire on the host."
Cai Yangqiu explained.
"Then what can I do to avoid backlash?"
"It's very simple. Miss Huang, you don't have to worry about this matter with me here. But we can't waste this beautiful scenery..."
Cai Yangqiu smiled lewdly, and his small eyes kept looking back and forth at Huang Aoqing.
"Then I trust you, Master Cai. I'll reward you well tonight..."

The next day, in the manor on the mountain.
A huge irregularly shaped jade was placed on the table. Yuan Chun had found it at the jade mine a few days ago. It was very large, but the variety was very ordinary.
Yuan Chun was holding a carving knife in his hand, thinking about how to start.
"Master, are you planning to make jade talismans again?"
Fu Manman's voice was heard in the Soul Locking Tower.
"Jade Talisman? Forget it. Last time I sold the Jade Talisman, I was almost exhausted just from packaging and shipping it. Give me a few days to rest."
Yuan Chun couldn't help but feel his hands ache when he thought about selling jade talismans before.
"You're not selling jade talismans? Then what are you selling?"
Yuan Chun did not answer directly after hearing this. He leaned his hand on his chin and pondered for a long time before speaking:
"After the verdict of the Huang Niancong case is announced, you will no longer have any obsessions and can return to the underworld without worry. However, I have a way to allow you to continue to stay in the human world. Are you willing?"
"Ah?! Master, you are kidding me! I'm already dead, how can I stay in the human world? Am I going to be a wandering ghost?"
Fu Manman widened her eyes, looking confused.
"It's not a soul, it has a body."
Yuan Chun patted the jade in front of him and smiled faintly.
"I have a body?! Master, are you saying I can live in the human world like a human?!"
Fu Manman suddenly jumped up excitedly. This was something she had never thought of. It was a basic rule that the dead returned to the underworld. Could they be brought back to life?
"Of course, it's completely different from when you were alive. Although I can allow you to live in the world with a human body, you are actually still a dead person. The cause and effect have been severed, and you have no connection to the past. You can only obey me and live in this manor."
Yuan Chun explained.
"Then I'm willing to do that! I'm still young and haven't lived enough! As long as I can continue to stay in the world, I will listen to everything the master says!"
Inside the Soul-Locking Tower, Fu Manman's ghost figure flew up and down excitedly.
"Hmm...Okay, then I'll try this Soul Resurrection Puppetry Technique and see how it works."
Yuan Chun nodded, picked up the carving knife and started working on the jade.
Yuan Chun also had his own selfish motives for this matter. After all, this villa was so huge that it would take Yuan Chun an hour to walk around it at normal speed. Cleaning and maintaining all the trees, flowers, and yard facilities was definitely a huge project.
However, Yuan Chun's personality doesn't allow him to hire a nanny or gardener to do these things. Instead of communicating with people, Yuan Chun prefers to deal with ghosts.
If the soul-returning puppet technique is completed, then these things can be handed over to the ghost puppet. If one puppet is not enough, then make a few more.
By then, the manor will be full of ghost nannies, ghost gardeners, ghost chefs, ghost servants... It's quite exciting to think about it.

Since it was the first time to use the Soul-Resurrection Puppet Technique, Yuan Chun was extremely careful, fearing that something might go wrong.
The entire carving process lasted for several hours, from the rising sun to the bright sunshine, and finally a human-shaped jade stone with a nose and eyes was successfully completed.
"It looks good."
Yuan Chun walked around the jade, like a fat otaku admiring his own figurine.
"Next, I will introduce your soul into the jade. Do not resist."
Yuan Chun said to Fu Manman.
"Master, please proceed."
Fu Manman nodded heavily.
Then Yuan Chun put his hands together, then suddenly raised them up and pointed his fingers to the sky!
"The vengeful spirit rises, the life string returns to its place, and the soul puppet rises!"
With his left hand, Yuan Chun pulled Fu Manman's soul from the Soul Locking Tower into the jade stone, and with his right hand, he drew the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and poured it into it!
"boom!!!"
A thick white mist erupted in the manor!
A moment later, the white mist dissipated, and a tall woman suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Chun.
The woman blinked, looking confused.
"Look at yourself."
Yuan Chun sat back in his chair and casually threw a mirror at Fu Manman.
Fu Manman took the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, and then a scream pierced the sky.
“Ah!!! I’m alive!!! I’m actually alive!!!”
Fu Manman danced excitedly, then knelt down in front of Yuan Chun.
"Master, I will never forget your kindness!"
Yuan Chun nodded and accepted the bow calmly.
"You must remember that this body is just a shell for your actions. You are still a dead person with only a soul."
"From today on, I am your master. You cannot leave the manor without my order, and you cannot do anything without my permission. Otherwise, I will kill you with just a thought. Do you understand?"
Yuan Chun said in a deep voice.
"Xiao Man, remember this!"
Fu Manman nodded quickly.
"Okay, get to work. I don't keep idle people. There are a lot of fallen leaves in the yard. Go clean them up."
Yuan Chun waved his hand and said.
"Okay!"
After saying that, Fu Manman disappeared in front of Yuan Chun in a flash.
"Not bad, it works very well. It seems that I can find more little ghosts to work for me in the future, and I don't have to pay them. It's great."
Yuan Chun raised the corner of his mouth.
"Meow~"
At some point, Xiaotie ran to Yuan Chun's feet and looked at him with contempt.
"What's that look in your eyes, little stinky cat? If you have nothing to do, go and work. There are so many mice in the yard. How can you be a cat?"
Yuan Chun reached out and rubbed Xiaotie's head hard.
"Meow meow!"
Xiaotie stretched out his little cat fist and slapped Yuan Chun in dissatisfaction.
"Oh, you dare to fight back! You're really like a jerk! I'll teach you a lesson!"
“Meow meow meow!!”
The man and the cat started rolling around in the yard.
----------

It was twelve o'clock midnight.
A figure slowly approached the gate of the manor. It was Cai Yangqiu.
"The manor is nice, but it's a pity I don't have the life to live in it."
Cai Yangqiu stood with his hands behind his back and sneered.
A fortune teller in his twenties, who had studied for a few years at most, was not taken seriously by Cai Yangqiu at all.
