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 Master Ye Xiao would probably have fought to the death with those three.
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've been in love with me for a long time. This is a chance for you to show your love. Do you really want to refuse?"
Xie Yu said this with a matter-of-fact expression.
...Master Ye Xiaotian almost went up and fought him to the death 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, if I believe it, I lose."
...Tang Fang watched helplessly as the fists of the first and third wives hardened.
"They took her away, what with the first, second, and third wives." After realizing what was happening, Tang Fang slapped his forehead speechlessly.
At this time, news from the association also came. When Tang Fang saw the content of the work, he felt dizzy.
"I understand the situation. Xiao Tang, you should first calm the other party down 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 shift the blame: ...
No, he also has to find someone to take the blame. The vice-president election is about to begin, and he can't be involved in this matter.
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 was also one of the relationships that Tang Fang used to climb up the ladder. He had 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 unexpectedly encountered a red-clothed ghost, forcing Zhou Tianning to send a distress message to him. Tang Fang did not act complacent, but instead approached with a look of concern.
In fact, Tang Fang knew that he would definitely 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 the 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 didn't cheat people out of 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 disgust 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 concealed our relationship to everyone."
But he changed the subject and said.
"But the key is that you are now the heir to the Zhou family. Your father is counting on you to return 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 make this public, it will definitely be a blow to you—"
"Okay, let's just let this matter 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 a little frightened.
How could this matter be let go like this? This is completely 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 with them.
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 spirits increase their strength by devouring other ghosts. My ghost is just a small snack in that person's eyes. I have worked hard to raise it for so long, and you want me to deliver food to him? Or are you unable to handle even 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 control 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 plan, 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 taken down by Master Ye Xiaotian, and if the Ghost Emperor wanted to take action, Master Ye Xiaotian would simply hold a knife to his own neck, so that they were 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 a kindergarten teacher - and it's really a life-threatening situation.
But compared with the troubles of others, Tang Fang solemnly chose his own future.
"...The Association is truly at its wit's end. You know that His Majesty the Ghost Emperor is truly formidable, but the Association also needs to ensure the safety of ordinary people. They need time to come up with a solution that satisfies both parties."
Tang Fang said this with an extremely embarrassed expression.
He knew that Master Ye Xiaotian 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 help. Unless it touched upon 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 only agreed to let Master Ye Xiaotian take over the matter after confirming that the president of the association and his men would definitely arrive here within four hours, and also called Master Li to be a witness.
"I tried my best to ask 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 spoke, his delicate face numb, his voice filled with a faint sense of deadness. He was like a dog used to having its food bowl taken away by naughty kids to set off firecrackers.
As he spoke, he still had the young boy named Yu Yi hanging on his hand. The boy was still crying. God knows where all the tears came from in his body.
However, this 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.
——Then Shui Lingling obtained the Heavenly Master Certificate and received a monthly subsidy of 10,000 yuan.
And 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 medical insurance reimbursement.
When Tang Fang saw that his salary and benefits were about to be approved, he was envious.
He currently earns 8,000 yuan a month, has five insurances and one fund paid into, and has two days off a week. To others, this is already a very high salary and good treatment. Although he occasionally has to work overtime, he is still paid overtime pay by the association.
But compared with this person, it's really frustrating to compare yourself with him.
The most meager treatment among this person's 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 could the government be so wealthy that a Heavenly Master could receive a subsidy of 5,000 yuan, and those with good talents could receive even double that.
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 stopped them, they would have surrendered to the authorities long ago.
Tang Fang was thinking, and Ye Xiaotianshi in front of him took a deep breath as if he was going to the execution ground, leaving Yu Yi where he was, and then turned around and walked towards the Ghost Emperor.
For some reason, the words "The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold, the hero will never return 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 Xiaotian also turned and said to Tang Fang.
"Okay, he's already agreed to tell me what he needs. I'll 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 began to get nervous, but Tang Fang, while feeling nervous, subconsciously looked at the two people who were left there.
Very good, one Hongwen and the other started crying again.
"The struggle between these three houses is quite intense..."
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 already 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 haven't dared 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 legs spread out.
This room is actually where Qingfeng Temple usually stores miscellaneous items. Because it is a storage room, there are 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, this was the first time he took on a mission of this difficulty and he was approached by a female ghost as soon as he landed. If it weren't for Yijiu's special training, he might have broken the script 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 bandits 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 bandits.
After searching for decades, I finally found it here.
In the protagonist's previous life, the red-clothed ghost regained his sanity after his original body 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 swallowed 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 others need to stop.
Now the first mission 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 quite 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 a bottom. In his previous life, he was deceived by the scumbag Tang Fang 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.
However, 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 on his 30th birthday.
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 to feed his ghost husband, making his ghost husband so powerful that even the religious association had to look after him.
His first goal to achieve this outcome was the original body. After all, only the original body had the opportunity. 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 repeatedly trip up Ye Wangxing, 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 up 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 promotion opportunity, and then he left with satisfaction.
When Ye Wangxing was watching the original plot, he had already seen the old man on the subway with his mobile phone, and he didn't understand why such a person could be the protagonist.
But think about it, this cult novel was really 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.
[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 will be helped by him.]
"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 problems at work, and even some ordinary people's requests for help, all in order to make Tang Fang's political achievements look better, completely ignoring the blood and tears of those ordinary people.
In reality, Zhou Tianning had always known that these things were wrong, as evidenced by his use of them in his next life to bring down Tang Fang. However, Zhou Tianning didn't view this as punishment for Tang Fang's transgression, but rather as retribution for his betrayal.
As Yijiu spoke, he presented a table of the original plot in Ye Wangxing's mind.
[In this life, she continued to maintain this ambiguity when helping her ghost husband. It was understandable that the red-clothed ghost attacked them and devoured them. But after that, regardless of whether it was a good ghost or a bad ghost, they would take a bite of any ghost that came near them.]
Yijiu said calmly, "Even if her evil husband did something irreparable to innocent people out of jealousy, Zhou Tianning's intention was to cover it up and not let anyone else know."
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 with understanding.
[His love-brain seems to be quite mild, and even after being betrayed, he will wake up in time and take revenge on those who betrayed him.]
[But once the person he's in love with hasn't cheated or emotionally betrayed him, he's the most genuine love-brain. Even if that person commits murder or arson, he'll join in the fun—no wonder the Mastermind assigned this task to us.]
Ye Wangxing said with understanding.
Yijiu also nodded.
Ye Wangxing sighed and said, "I've finally seen the diversity of people who are obsessed with love. I never thought there were such people who are obsessed with love."
The lethality is stronger than the previous two combined.
But the two before did not 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 before he felt relieved.
At this time, he finally had the mood to sigh about the differences of Yijiu.
"So this is what a ghost feels like, cool and light." Ye Wangxing said, pinching Yijiu's arm like a curious baby.
Yijiu let Ye Wangxing pat him and spoke calmly.
[Yes, host, so you can definitely sleep with this body at night. The summer temperature will be very suitable for sleeping like this.]
Ye Wangxing: ...
If I didn't know that you were just a smart refrigerator and there was no evil intention in what you said, I would really think you had 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's appearance was real.
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……
What surprised Vice President Ding was that the Ghost Emperor was actually quite easy to talk to. All the previous contingency 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 dull. 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 raise when he returns.
Although I can only add one thousand.
But there's nothing she can do about it; her authority is limited. If she adds a few thousand more, those old men 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 look 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 you're getting married to Mainland. That's great! I've 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 so much that they 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 me, your husband, for this mortal?"
Vice President Ding: ...
——No, you are the one who wants to kill someone and you are still feeling wronged?
