Chapter 46
In the end, the marriage certificate was naturally not registered.
Not to mention registration, if Master Li had not stopped him in time, the ashamed and angry Ye Xiaotianshi would probably have fought with those three to the death.
But even so, the Ghost Emperor really stayed beside Master Ye Xiaotian, looking like he couldn't be driven away - of course no one dared to drive this old man away.
Even after Tang Fang had been communicating with the people present for a long time, the old man still didn't want to say a word to them. Finally, it was Master Ye Xiaotian who spoke up and the old man finally spoke out of mercy.
"I know you have admired me for a long time. This is a chance for you to show your ability. Do you want to refuse?"
Xie Yu said this with a matter-of-fact expression.
...Master Ye Xiaotian almost went up and fought with him again.
"Who is in love with you? This is the first time I meet you!"
Master Ye Xiaotian shouted in despair.
But the Ghost Emperor just raised his eyebrows, with an expression that said, "You can say whatever you want, but if I believe it, I lose."
...Tang Fang watched helplessly as the fists of the first and third wives hardened.
"They took them away, what about the first, second, and third rooms." After realizing what was going on, Tang Fang slapped his forehead speechlessly.
At this time, news from the association also came. When Tang Fang saw the work content, his eyes went dark.
"I understand the situation. Xiao Tang, you should calm the other party down first and understand their needs. Let's have a meeting to discuss a solution."
"Me? To understand the Ghost Emperor's needs?"
Then Tang Fang recalled the length of the leaders' meetings and their superb ability to pass the buck: ...
No, he had to find someone to take the blame. The vice-president election was about to begin, and he couldn't be involved in this incident.
Thinking of this, he quickly found the ambiguous object who had taken a lot of blame for him before.
Zhou Tianning.
The heir of the Zhou family is also one of the relationships that Tang Fang used to climb up the social ladder. He has done a lot for Tang Fang over the years, but Tang Fang did not tell anyone else about his relationship with the heir of the Zhou family.
This also led to Zhou Tianning's recent clear expression of dissatisfaction, and this time he came to Qingfeng Temple because of some conflicts with him.
However, he did not expect to encounter a red-clothed ghost, forcing Zhou Tianning to send a message for help. Tang Fang did not act complacent, but instead approached with a concerned look on his face.
In fact, Tang Fang knew that he would be called a Phoenix Man if his behavior was posted online, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with him. After all, he had poor talent and could not get a Heavenly Master Certificate. If he wanted to climb up, he naturally had to rely on other people's connections. Zhou Tianning just happened to take the bait.
They are all adults now, so they naturally have to bear the consequences of their choices. He has never admitted to Zhou Tianning that they are in a romantic relationship.
However, Tang Fang felt that he was different from those unscrupulous predecessors. He did not cheat money, did he? He just used the power of the Zhou family and Zhou Tianning's own strength to do something.
He also provided emotional value to Zhou Tianning.
"Tian Ning, are you okay? If you want to get mad at me, just get mad at me. Why are you kidding me about your life?"
As Tang Fang spoke, a hint of worry appeared on his handsome face, making him look like a truly affectionate second male lead.
However, what Tang Fang did not expect was that after seeing him coming, Zhou Tianning seemed to react to the situation in front of him. He instantly put away the dull expression on his face, and looked at him with a hint of disgust.
But that trace of disdain seemed like an illusion and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When he turned around, Zhou Tianning still had that arrogant look on his face.
"Do you know you're wrong?"
He said in a cold voice.
Tang Fang admitted his mistake skillfully: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have failed to acknowledge our relationship to everyone."
But he changed the subject and said.
"But the key is that you are now the heir of the Zhou family. Your father is counting on you to come home and inherit the family business. You will definitely get married and have children in the future and will not be with me. If I announce this, it will definitely be a blow to you—"
"Okay, let's just let this pass."
Tang Fang was halfway through his words when Zhou Tianning interrupted him rudely and announced that the matter was over. Tang Fang was not surprised but rather frightened.
How could this matter just be let go? This is totally inconsistent with Zhou Tianning's character. Shouldn't this young master leave him alone for several days because of this matter?
He had also made plans. He could use these few days to find the daughters of high-ranking officials and set up a group to build relationships.
Zhou Tianning's move caught Tang Fang off guard, and what made him feel even more uneasy was that Zhou Tianning actually refused to help persuade the Ghost Emperor.
"...You also know that evil ghosts rely on devouring other ghosts to increase their strength. My ghost is just a snack in his eyes. I have raised it for so long, and you want me to deliver food to him? Or can't you even handle such a small matter?"
Zhou Tianning said this with a hint of disgust on his face.
Tang Fang was unable to say anything else.
He wanted to beg Zhou Tianning shamelessly, but unfortunately, it seemed that Zhou Tianning's ghost-controlling skill had problems again and he was led aside.
Tang Fang had no choice but to give up.
But then he would silently cross out Zhou Tianning's name in his heart.
It seems that Zhou Tianning must have discovered something.
It's probably impossible to use up all the power of the Zhou family. Although he may maintain some superficial contact with him now, he also has to plan to get away from Zhou Tianning.
Tang Fang thought as he planned.
He just wanted some power, not really. He had feelings for Zhou Tianning, so the best way was to withdraw in time.
But when Tang Fang finished his planning, the cold reality was placed before him again.
——The Ghost Emperor over there is still following Master Ye Xiaotian!
Moreover, this guy didn't look like he was going to leave at all, and he even called her "Madam"!
Master Ye Xiaotian was so angry that his eyes were numb!
However, the man surnamed Lu and the young boy named Yu Yi were still arguing with the Ghost Emperor. It was not that they did not want to take action, but if anyone of them showed any tendency to take action, they would be punished by Master Ye Xiaotian.
The other two would be captured by Master Ye Xiaotian, and if the Ghost Emperor wanted to take action, Master Ye Xiaotian would simply put a knife to his own neck, so that they are still in the stage of quarreling like kindergarten kids.
Tang Fang felt a little reluctant to give the task of delaying time to Ye Wangxing. Look at his current situation, it's almost catching up with that of a kindergarten teacher - and it's really the deadly kind.
But comparing his own future with the troubles of others, Tang Fang solemnly chose his own future.
"...The Association is really at a loss. You know that His Majesty the Ghost Emperor is very powerful, but the Association also needs to ensure the safety of ordinary people. They need time to come up with a plan that satisfies both parties."
Tang Fang said this with an extremely embarrassed expression.
He knew that Master Ye was a soft-hearted person and would not respond to harsh words. You had to speak to him in a nice tone and ask him for a favor. Unless it touched on a matter of principle, he would generally agree to their requests.
And it is the same this time.
Master Ye Xiaotian was ultimately unable to resist Tang Fang's request, but the two people beside him were not to be trifled with. His friend named Lu agreed to let Master Ye Xiaotian take over the matter only after he confirmed that the president of the association and his men would definitely arrive here within 4 hours and also called Master Li Guan to be a witness.
"I tried my best to ask him what he wanted, but..."
Master Ye Xiaotian said with an ugly look, pointing at the Ghost Emperor floating beside him.
"You should also urge the association to come over quickly - he can even marry someone he just met for the first time, I really don't know what he's going to do next."
Ye Wangxing said, his handsome face was numb, and his voice was filled with a faint sense of death. He was like a dog who was used to his food bowl being taken away by a naughty kid to make firecrackers.
When he spoke, he still had the young boy named Yu Yi hanging on his hand, and the other party was still shedding tears. God knows where all the water in his body came from.
However, it was the first time that Tang Fang saw this young genius in this state. When he was led into the Religious Association by Master Li Guan, he was still full of energy and it was obvious that he was a college student who had not yet entered society.
Sure enough, when asked, he found out that he had just graduated and had not found a job yet, and was just planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but Master Li discovered his talent and brought him to the Religious Association.
——Afterwards, Shui Lingling obtained the Heavenly Master Certificate and received a monthly subsidy of 10,000 yuan.
Moreover, they are all issued by the government. At the same time, he even has a basic salary of 3,000 yuan and six insurances and two funds. When he goes on a mission, he will even receive various travel subsidies and full reimbursement of medical insurance.
When Tang Fang saw that he was about to approve the salary and benefits, he was envious.
He currently earns 8,000 yuan a month, has five insurances and one fund paid in full, and has two days off a week. To others, this is already a very high salary and good treatment. Although he has to work overtime occasionally, the association also pays overtime pay.
But compared with this person, it's really frustrating to compare yourself to him.
The most meagre treatment for this person is the basic salary of 3,000 yuan, but that basic salary of 3,000 yuan is paid by the religious association. To be honest, the religious association has no money. The valuable things are all some magical instruments, which are the capital of the religious association. Basically, they can only rent them but not sell them.
How can the government be so wealthy that a Taoist priest can receive a subsidy of 5,000 yuan, and those with good talents can get double the amount.
But think about it, after all, it is a life-threatening job, and if you happen to encounter a ghost with special powers, not only will you be in trouble, but your family may also be in trouble. Naturally, the salary must be higher to attract talents, otherwise who would be willing to go on a mission?
If it weren't for some historical reasons and the old-fashioned people in the religious association who were blocking them, they would have surrendered to the government long ago.
Tang Fang was thinking about it, and Master Ye Xiaotian in front of him took a deep breath as if he was going to the execution ground, leaving his depression where it was, and then turned around and walked towards the Ghost Emperor.
For some reason, the words "The wind is whistling, the Yi River is cold, and the hero never returns once he leaves" emerged in his mind.
——The next second, the "strong man" said something to the Ghost Emperor, but the Ghost Emperor nodded with interest.
Master Ye Xiao also turned and said to Tang Fang.
"Okay, he has agreed to tell me what he needs. I will discuss it with him--"
However, before Master Ye Xiaotian could finish his words, the previous scene happened again.
——He was directly sucked into a room in the Taoist temple by the Ghost Emperor with a black aura, and it was too late for others to stop him.
Before leaving, the Ghost Emperor threw down another sentence.
"No one else needs to listen to what I want to say to Madam."
The others started to get nervous, but Tang Fang, while feeling nervous, subconsciously looked at the two people who were left there.
Very good, one Hong Wen and the other started to cry again.
"The struggle between these three houses is quite fierce..."
Tang Fang realized what he was thinking and slapped himself on the forehead again.
I was led astray again.
While the people outside the door were waiting anxiously, the two people inside the door immediately put down their acting baggage and their expressions became relaxed after setting up the soundproof array.
[Host, Master Li outside the door has taken out the life card and confirmed that your life is normal. There is no need to worry about them breaking in. ]
Yijiu's calm voice sounded, and Ye Wangxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[That's good, that's good. It's been two hours and I didn't dare to relax for even a minute. I'm so tired.]
Ye Wangxing said this and sat down on the chair in the room with a tired look on his face, his whole body sprawled out.
This room is actually where Qingfeng Temple usually stores sundries, and because it is a storage room, it has no windows, which makes it convenient for Ye Wangxing to prevent eavesdropping.
After resting for a while, Ye Wangxing finally caught his breath and opened the task panel.

While Ye Wangxing was sighing at the richness of the task, he also breathed a sigh of relief as he had finally completed the task.
After all, it was the first time for him to take on a mission of this difficulty and he was touched in the face by a female ghost just as he landed. If it weren't for Yijiu's special training, he might have lost his mind and called Yijiu for help at the very beginning.
He and Yijiu had just arrived in this world two hours ago, and happened to encounter the start of the first mission, which is also a key node in the original plot.
The attack of the red ghost.
The red-clothed ghost's newlywed husband was also her childhood sweetheart. He was killed by the bandit camp on his way home. She was heartbroken and committed suicide by jumping into a well. Since then, she has been looking for revenge on the bandit camp.
After searching for decades, I finally found it here.
In the protagonist's previous life, the red-clothed evil spirit regained his sanity when his original self found relevant news at the last moment.
But the protagonist in this life was not so kind. After his ghost husband came out, he directly devoured the red-clothed ghost who dared to attack his wife. After becoming stronger, he also became the benefactor of the original body and his friends.
This is the beginning of everything, and it is also the task that Ye Wangxing and his team need to stop.
And now the first task has been completed, the sister has entered reincarnation, and the protagonist cannot devour her anymore.
[But I still find it a little strange. Why was this mission assigned to us? After all, the protagonist looks very sober and doesn't seem to be in love, right? ]
Ye Wangxing asked with some confusion.
This was the doubt he had when he watched the original plot.
In the original plot, the protagonist was deceived by the scumbag Tang Fang in his previous life and used up all his family power to help him become the president of the religious association, but was kicked aside by Tang Fang.
Later, the Zhou family was labeled a cult by the religious association because of their ancestral ghost-controlling magic.
Tang Fang did not stop it and even stamped it, which resulted in the protagonist's entire family having their cultivation destroyed and finally becoming ordinary people.
Zhou Tianning couldn't stand the mediocre life of ordinary people and committed suicide by burning charcoal at the age of 30.
But God seemed to think that Zhou Tianning had lived a miserable life, so he decided to give him a chance to be reborn. After his rebirth, Zhou Tianning finally cleared his eyes and decided to take back everything he had.
He actually did it, exposing Tang Fang's true face to the public, causing him to be disgraced and expelled from the religious association.
He also used the opportunities from his previous life to find evil spirits and feed them to his ghost husband, making the ghost husband so powerful that even the religious association had to look up to him.
His first goal to achieve this outcome was the original body. After all, only the original body had the chance. He knew it from the beginning to the end. In his previous life, he even regarded Ye Wangxing as a love rival.
This also caused him to trip up Ye Wangxing repeatedly, but in the end they were all resolved by his original body, and instead became a stumbling block for his original body to ascend to the position of Heavenly Master.
So in this life, Zhou Tianning decided to snatch the opportunity from his original body and pair him with Tang Fang.
What he didn't expect was that after losing his cultivation, his original body actually passed the civil service exam. The last time Zhou Tianning saw his original body, he had become the secretary of a remote town.
Although Zhou Tianning said that he didn't care, he actually tripped up the original body a few times, causing him to lose a chance for promotion, and only then did he leave with satisfaction.
When Ye Wangxing was watching the original plot, he was already interested in the old man's cell phone on the subway. He didn't understand why such a person could be the protagonist.
But think about it, this cult novel was quite popular in the past. This kind of novel requires a villainous protagonist who would kill any passing dog.
However, Ye Wangxing still didn’t understand, where was the love brain of this villain protagonist?
Yijiu, who was making some noise to pretend that they were arguing, said this.
[Host, some people's love brains can change the object. Judging from the protagonist's behavior logic from the previous life to this life, whoever is his love object, he will help. ]
[But isn't this normal? Everyone helps their own people, right? ]
Ye Wangxing said again in confusion.
[This is also the key point. The protagonist has reached the point where he cannot distinguish right from wrong when helping others. ]
Yijiu's calm voice sounded again.
[In his previous life, he helped Tang Fang to cover up the problems he encountered at work, and even some ordinary people's requests for help, just to make Tang Feng's political achievements look better, completely ignoring the blood and tears of those ordinary people]
[In fact, Zhou Tianning has always known that these things are wrong, which can be seen from the fact that he used these things to bring down Tang Fang in his next life. However, Zhou Tianning did not think that this was a punishment for Tang Fang's breaking the law, but rather that it was retribution for Tang Fang's betrayal.]
As Yijiu spoke, he presented a table of the original plot in Ye Wangxing's mind.
[In this life, when she was helping her ghost husband, she still had this kind of indistinguishable concept of right and wrong. It was understandable that the red-clothed ghost attacked them and was devoured by them. But after that, no matter whether it was a good ghost or a bad ghost, as long as they got close to them, they would take a bite. ]
Yijiu said calmly: [And even if her ghost husband did something irreparable to innocent people because of jealousy, Zhou Tianning's idea is to cover up this matter and not let others know about it.]
At this time, Ye Wangxing finally understood.
[No wonder Zhou Tianning was diagnosed as a love-brained person, it turns out it was because of this. 】
Ye Wangxing said it clearly.
[His love-brain seems to be very mild. After being betrayed, he will wake up in time and take revenge on the person who betrayed him. ]
[But once the person he is in love with has not cheated on him or betrayed him emotionally, he is the most sincere love brain. Even if the love target kills people or burns things, he will do it together - no wonder the main brain assigned this task to us. ]
Ye Wangxing said clearly.
Yijiu also nodded.
Ye Wangxing sighed and said: [I have seen the diversity of love-brain. I never thought there would be such a love-brain. ]
The lethality is stronger than the previous two combined.
But the previous two really didn't have much killing power, no wonder it was a novice mission.
Ye Wangxing immediately felt the difficulty of the task, and followed Yijiu to revise the script, only then did he feel relieved.
At this moment, he finally had the mood to sigh at the differences of Yijiu.
[So this is what a ghost feels like, cool and light.] Ye Wangxing pinched Yijiu's arm like a curious baby and said.
Yijiu let Ye Wangxing pat him on the body and spoke in a calm tone.
[Yes, host, so you can sleep with this body at night. The temperature in summer is very suitable for sleeping like this. ]
Ye Wangxing: ...
If I didn't know that you are a smart refrigerator and if I didn't have any evil intentions in saying this, I would really think you had some feelings for me.
While Ye Wangxing was speechless, people from the religious association and officials also came to the foot of the mountain.
When Vice President Ding first arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was still a little skeptical about whether the Ghost Emperor was really born.
It was not until she went to Qingfeng Temple and saw Master Li, who was shaking like he had Parkinson's disease, that she finally believed that the Ghost Emperor had really been born.
She immediately covered her body with protective magic tools and talismans, so that she could at least hold on until she had enough breath to ask for reinforcements.
but……
To Vice President Ding's surprise, the Ghost Emperor was actually quite easy to talk to. All previous plans were not used, so he just discussed a similar plan with him and waited for the formal signing of the agreement later.
In short, the content of this agreement is that the Ghost Emperor can appear in the human world, but he must stay by Ye Wangxing's side and cannot attack mortals at will. Of course, if someone wants to offend him, he also has the right to self-defense.
Naturally, Vice President Ding did not ignore Ye Wangxing’s role in this. As a human being who was favored by the Ghost Emperor for unknown reasons, he used this identity to maximize his intelligence on the Ghost Emperor.
——It was really hard work. His eyes were numb. God knows what kind of mental torture the Ghost Emperor inflicted on him in that small room.
Vice President Ding has decided to give him a salary increase when he returns.
Although I can only add one thousand.
But there's nothing she can do about it; her authority is limited to that. If she adds a few thousand more, those old guys will start making a fuss again.
but……
Vice President Ding was still a little confused when he saw the Ghost Emperor floating around with a bored look on his face. Why did the Ghost Emperor seem so good-tempered?
Could it be that this Ghost Emperor is actually a good-tempered person?
However, just as Vice President Ding had this idea, he saw Xiao Ye's friend walking towards Xiao Ye with a mobile phone, and then a middle-aged woman's voice came from the phone.
"Xiao Ye, I heard that you are going to get married to Mainland. That's great. Auntie has been looking forward to becoming a family with you!"
The middle-aged woman on the other side said with surprise.
Before Vice President Ding could react to who this middle-aged woman was, Xiao Ye had already skillfully placed the knife on his neck.
It was then that Vice President Ding discovered that the Ghost Emperor's nails had grown suddenly and almost poked his friend's eyes.
He turned to look at Ye Wangxing, his tone fierce but with a hint of grievance.
"——Ye Wangxing! Are you threatening to kill yourself for this mortal?"
Vice President Ding: …
——No, you are the one who wants to kill someone and you feel wronged?
