Of course, Jin Banwei did not forget that Ren Qiao was a ghost because of her beauty. When she was suddenly awakened by her voice, she thought that Ren Qiao was unhappy.
This is understandable. From Ren Qiao's perspective, she herself is a ghost, but her husband has always said that he would never raise a ghost. If she were Ren Qiao, she would not be happy either.
Jin Banwei changed her words sympathetically: "They are not my wives, so of course I won't support them."
That would support her.
Ren Qiao's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't have the courage to open them. She must have been a wandering ghost for too long, so she would believe the children's nonsense.
She was not Jin Banwei's wife, this was just a short-term scam.
Ren Qiao reminded himself and gently lowered his eyes to avoid the possibility of looking at Jin Banwei, and his mind became a little clearer.
Seeing her lower her head, Jin Banwei subconsciously bent over and tilted her head to look at Ren Qiao's expression. This time she met Ren Qiao's slightly red eyes. She was shocked and retracted her head in panic.
How should a husband comfort his sad wife?
Jin Banwei didn’t know, she didn’t even know why Ren Qiao’s eyes suddenly turned red.
The room became quiet. As time passed, the sun outside the window hung higher on the branches, and even the golden sunlight shining in became a little brighter.
Jin Banwei leaned against the wall with windows, while Ren Qiao stood in front of Jin Banwei. The golden light fell on Ren Qiao, and her blood-red wedding dress seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of gold powder, making it less gloomy.
Ren Qiao paused, she stepped back, stood in direct sunlight, a strong expression of nostalgia appeared on her face.
Jin Banwei saw all of this. It was hard to imagine that she actually saw the longing for the sun on a ghost's face.
She asked curiously, "Sister Ghost, do you like sunshine very much?"
"Well, this is my first time to see sunlight."
There was a hint of joy on Ren Qiao's face. Although it was not obvious, her voice was telling Jin Banwei that she liked the sunshine, but this was wrong.
In the original book, powerful ghosts can condense into physical entities. Like Nightmares, they are not afraid of sunlight and look no different from ordinary people. How could Ren Qiao, as a powerful ghost king, not be able to condense into physical entities? But Ren Qiao actually said that this was her first time to come into contact with sunlight.
Could it be that the system deceived her and the ghost it summoned was not the most powerful one?
Indeed, Ren Qiao looked weak and didn't look like a powerful ghost king.
This actually made sense. It was just that the ghosts had been silent since Ren Qiao arrived. They must be afraid of Ren Qiao, otherwise why would there be no sound at all? Moreover, there was no need for the system to lie to her.
Only then did Jin Banwei notice that the ceiling and the dolls had returned to normal. The dolls' eyes looked no different from those of ordinary dolls, and the protruding ceiling had also returned to its original appearance.
Jin Banwei stared at the ceiling and could not find any signs of damage. Even if Ren Qiao was very powerful, he would not be able to restore the wall.
This is a supernatural world, not a magical world.
Jin Banwei's doubts grew more and more, and she couldn't help but ask Ren Qiao: "Can't the Ghost King condense into a physical form?"
"Most of the ghost kings I've seen can do it, but my soul is incomplete and can't condense into a physical body. If it weren't for this paper man's body, it would be difficult for me to come into contact with sunlight."
Ren Qiao's words sounded a bit lonely.
She must have envied those ghost kings who could condense into entities, and envied them for being able to appear in the daytime and feel the sunshine for a moment, instead of being only accompanied by the night.
Unexpectedly, Ren Qiao was missing a soul. Jin Banwei felt a little sorry for this ghost king whom she had just met not long ago.
Jin Banwei completely ignored all the irrationalities. She did not consider that from Ren Qiao's perspective, they were lovers, yet she still asked such unfamiliar questions.
"Thanks... it's nice to be able to bask in the sun."
Ren Qiao originally wanted to thank Jin Banwei, but then he realized that they were lovers now, and people in love should not apologize for such things, and the more they said, the more mistakes they would make.
In fact, she likes the sunshine because she feels that she was a human being in her previous life and had stood in the sunshine. Maybe she can use the sunshine to regain some of her past memories. Of course, the result is disappointing, but it is also good.
Ren Qiao's eyes looking towards the sun were still gentle and sincere, even with a little more greed.
Ren Qiao moved closer to the window, allowing herself to be completely enveloped by the sunlight. She raised her head and stood facing the light.
As noon approached, the sunlight outside the window became stronger.
Black smoke came out of her fair skin and signs of burns gradually appeared. Ren Qiao frowned and walked to the corner where the doll was, escaping from the sunlight that would burn her.
Soon, the black smoke dissipated and Ren Qiao's burned skin recovered quickly.
The Ghost King, with his physical body, can be exposed to sunlight, but he is not completely immune to light.
As Ren Qiao moved to the corner, the dolls that had been threatening Jin Banwei before Ren Qiao appeared began to tremble with fear. The dolls moved restlessly, and a whimpering sound rang in Jin Banwei's ears.
Jin Banwei touched her ears uncertainly, only to make sure that she had not heard wrongly.
Those ghosts seemed to be frightened and crying by Ren Qiao's powerful aura.
The Ren Qiao that Jin Banwei saw was gentle and beautiful, but the Ren Qiao in those ghosts' eyes looked terrifying to the point that they were frightened into this state.
Ren Qiao hasn't even done anything yet.
Jin Banwei suddenly felt a lot more at ease. Although the experience card was only valid for ten days, she didn't have to worry about being haunted by ghosts or being exacted revenge by the nightmare within these ten days.
Ten days is not a short time. If Ren Qiao is willing to help, she can also earn some good karma points during this period, so that she can draw a lottery and win a prize that is enough to save her life. Even if Ren Qiao leaves, she can survive here.
She just hoped that when the trial card expires, Ren Qiao, who has regained his consciousness, would not come after her.
Although... Jin Banwei secretly looked at Ren Qiao. Her gentle eyes and soft voice made her feel a little closer to him, but she was the Ghost King. Even those ghosts that could intimidate Jin Banwei could be scared to tears by Ren Qiao, let alone her.
Jin Banwei shrank her neck and asked Ren Qiao: "Sister Ghost, my eyes almost fell out when I looked at the doll just now, why is there nothing now?"
Ren Qiao gently raised her soft fingers and reached for the stuffed doll in the corner. A doll floated into her palm. She reached out her left hand towards the top of the doll's head and a shadow was caught by her. It was a man in his thirties. He didn't dare to move even after he separated from the doll. Unlike Ren Qiao, he couldn't stand on the ground. His feet were floating, and his soul was gathered but not condensed, looking a little vague.
He stood in a dark corner, and any light would make him uncomfortable.
He leaned against the wall, staring at Jin Banwei and Ren Qiao with a wary look on his face.
Ren Qiao ignored his guard and did not fight with him. Instead, he pointed at him and said to Jin Banwei: "These ghosts are imprisoned here. The things that trapped them are very powerful. Without external help, they can't escape at all. They can only use their own Yin energy to confuse your eyes, so if you see anything, it's all an illusion."
Ren Qiao meant that she was bewitched by a ghost?
Jin Banwei thought carefully about what had just happened, and realized that there was no ghost hitting the wall at all. The dolls did not move from beginning to end, but they used their own ghost energy to affect her.
This makes sense.
She found it strange that the nightmare was not there during the day. If these ghosts really had the possibility of breaking free, the original owner's body would have been eaten by them long ago, and there would probably be no soul left.
All these ghosts could do was scare her.
Jin Banwei breathed a sigh of relief. Her tense back softened at this moment. She leaned close to the wall near the window, her back against the wall, and gasped for breath. Although she knew that what had just happened was just an illusion, it still gave her quite a fright.
Ren Qiao counted the dolls in the room carefully and asked Jin Banwei: "Xiao Jin, do you want to keep them?"
"Of course not!"
What a joke, she could easily be scared to death by these ghosts.
"So should we make them disappear?"
Hearing Ren Qiao's question again, before Jin Banwei could answer, the male ghost shouted: "You are a ghost, why are you helping others!"
Ren Qiao clenched his fingers and said softly: "She is my husband, so I should listen to her."
The male ghost became even more agitated: "You are a ghost and she is a human, you will not achieve anything, you should eat her to improve your cultivation!"
Jin Banwei looked at the male ghost in disbelief. This ghost actually encouraged Ren Qiao to eat her in front of her. She was not deaf, and this ghost did not care about her feelings at all.
Sure enough, compared to them, Ren Qiao is much better.
"Can you please stop making noise, you ghost?"
He discussed it with Ren Qiao, but snorted coldly at Jin Banwei: "Oh, you dare to marry a ghost, aren't you afraid that she will peel off your skin while you sleep?"
Jin Banwei touched her neck subconsciously.
Skin it!
At this moment, Jin Banwei remembered all the scenes of ghosts peeling off human skin that she had seen before, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Wait, will Ren Qiao skin her alive and take revenge on her in ten days?
Jin Banwei's hand that touched her neck rested on her cheek. The skin under her fingertips was smooth and delicate. It was indeed very likely that she had been skinned. Her palms began to sweat and she pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly: "Sister Ghost is so beautiful, she will definitely not covet my ordinary skin."
Although she argued with the male ghost, she did not have the confidence to speak.
"Hmm?" Ren Qiao blinked in confusion. She thought of something and laughed. She slowly raised her hand and this time it fell on Jin Banwei's cheek. Her slender white fingertips gently rolled over it. Ren Qiao's body leaned towards her along the direction of her arm. Her beautiful facial features magnified in front of her eyes. Looking closely, she was as white as paper, but her gentle outline was right at the tip of Jin Banwei's heart.
Although Ren Qiao's fingers were no longer cold, they were not scorching hot either. However, Jin Banwei's face still blushed slightly under her touch. Her slow heartbeat tended to speed up, and her teeth had bitten the tip of her tongue through her tightly closed lips.
Jin Banwei couldn't tell for a moment whether it was out of fear or for some other reason.
"Little Jin is still very good-looking, I..."
Before Ren Qiao could finish his sentence, Jin Banwei, who was in the land of tenderness, suddenly woke up. She covered her face and screamed, "It hurts!"
She took several steps back and looked at Ren Qiao with grievance and pity, but there was not much timidity or fear in her eyes.
Ren Qiao's smile was filled with helplessness: "I don't care about your face. Husband and wife should not suspect each other. How can you believe in lies and doubt me?"
She called her husband again.
Jin Banwei looked in the direction Ren Qiao was pointing. She was still frightened of those dolls. Compared to them, the gentle Ren Qiao was obviously more reliable.
At least, at least Ren Qiao won't hurt her now.
Jin Banwei patted her face which was a little stiff due to nervousness, and then put down her hands. There was no blood on her palms. Ren Qiao did not want to peel her skin just now, but was just touching her gently, but she imagined the pain because of fear.
Jin Banwei was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry."
Ren Qiao looked at her: "It's okay."
The doll that the male ghost was originally sitting on suddenly flew up. The doll's furry palm seemed to be controlled by invisible strings, and a slap landed on the male ghost's face. Ren Qiao still smiled: "It's all his fault. He shouldn't have seduced my husband."
It is not difficult to imagine that it must have been Ren Qiao who did it.
Jin Banwei's expression was slightly dazed. She didn't feel sorry for the male ghost. He had scared her quite a bit just now. Ren Qiao was now venting his anger for him.
She just didn't understand why some people called "husband" so nicely, so soft and tender, and so sweet. What if she got used to it?
Jin Banwei touched her hot earlobe shyly: "Sister Ghost, you should just call me Xiao Jin."
Jin Banwei's words made the male ghost step on his tail. He shouted at Ren Qiao: "Listen, Lord Ghost King, although she married you, she despises you for being an old cow eating young grass. She doesn't even want you to call her husband. It's better to eat such a person as soon as possible!"
Ren Qiao frowned and waved his long sleeves, and the male ghost was locked in the doll again.
Jin Banwei asked her cautiously: "Sister Ghost, are you angry?"
She was not angry, she just felt that the male ghost was a little noisy. He was not wrong. Compared to her, Jin Banwei was very young. She had stayed in the world of the living for at least a hundred years, while Jin Banwei looked only in his early twenties.
Well-deserved tender grass.
Ren Qiao shook his head gently, but Jin Banwei frowned and said, "But I am angry. I should not be a grass, I should at least be a flower."
Ren Qiao smiled and said, "Then I'll let him out again and make him change his mind."
