In the darkness of night.
A ghost messenger who came to the human world on a mission sneezed.
He sensed something and immediately knew which of his godson's souls had been destroyed.
How dare he! Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner. How dare this mortal sorcerer disrespect the ghost messenger?
He handed over his official duties to another ghost messenger and disappeared underground in a flash.
Not long after, it emerged from the place where its godson's soul had been scattered.
He was greeted by a golden light that seemed to kill him, and a slap that seemed to kill him as well.
Realizing he had encountered an important figure, he instantly cowered. He hurriedly claimed it was a misunderstanding, that he was just passing by on official business, and begged for mercy.
At this point, he no longer cared about his deceased godson.
No, that vengeful ghost wasn't his godson; it was clearly a troublemaker.
Why did they have to mess with such a powerful figure?
Yu Shuang had just beaten the younger one when the older one came along. She got carried away and couldn't control herself for a moment.
Fortunately, the ghost messenger became very obedient because of the slap she gave him.
"You may escape death, but you cannot escape punishment. Since you're here, do something for me. If you do it well, you'll be rewarded; if you don't, ... I will punish you for the crime of great disrespect."
In a feudal society with a system of gods and spirits, the identity of a deity was certainly more useful.
Upon hearing the words "I am an immortal," the ghost messenger's gaze grew even more eager, his smile becoming fawning, just like those vengeful ghosts who fawned over him, wanting to become his godson.
"It is my honor to serve the immortal. Please grant me your command!"
Yu Shuang was fairly satisfied with his respectful attitude.
So the task of finding the person was entrusted to him.
Hu Fengjiao and her daughter, along with a sorcerer surnamed Jiang.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals. These civil servants in the underworld have many unorthodox methods and naturally have their own intelligence systems.
Finding a few people across the entire mainland would be an easy task.
The ghost messenger patted his chest and assured that he would complete the mission quickly.
Yu Shuang seized the opportunity to summon him at any time, and then let him go.
Seeing his hesitant and reluctant manner, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, he looked like he was asking for a beating.
Yu Shuang almost couldn't resist slapping him again.
Considering he did her a favor, she let him off the hook.
"Spit it out if you have something to say."
The ghost messenger licked his face and chuckled twice.
"Immortal, do you... take in godsons?"
A wandering spirit once said, "You still have to have dreams, what if they come true?"
Later, that wandering spirit actually realized that incredible dream.
They touched the heart of the Lord of the Underworld, whose heart was as hard as iron, and together they went to the mortal world to be a loving couple for life, fulfilling her deep affection.
With such a vivid example right here, many people in the underworld have become arrogant, daring to dream, and dreaming boldly…
"Slap!" A slap shattered his beautiful dream.
And they saw him off, a thousand miles away.
Yu Shuang: ……
This ghost messenger is quite something; it's amazing he could come up with such a nonsensical statement.
Even if she were to adopt a godson, she wouldn't choose someone like him; his appearance alone wouldn't be up to par.
That's getting off topic... I can't possibly take on a godson, but I might consider taking on a disciple who is destined to be with me.
Let's deal with those three scoundrels first.
...
Early the next morning.
Yu Shuang quickly left the city and found a beautiful, secluded spot in the suburbs to cultivate, living in complete isolation.
A father and son, barely clothed, were also carried into the government office in an alley.
Several servants who escaped from the Yu family testified that their young mistress was possessed by an evil spirit, which crippled the master and young master. Many servants also suffered the same fate, and the young mistress was the one who started yesterday's fire.
Lin'an Prefecture has issued an arrest warrant for Yu Shuang and even asked a sorcerer to help capture her.
Miss Yu went from being a bedridden, dying person to a lively, murderous, and arsonist; only possession by an evil spirit could explain it.
After several days of fruitless searching, the case had to be put on hold...
The father and son are now penniless, their limbs crippled, and unable to speak. They are temporarily staying at the government office, where servants are taking care of them.
Even so, he looked half-dead.
Although it's said that it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.
But they'd rather die than live like this, without dignity or hope...
But he couldn't die.
He wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but he didn't have the courage.
With each passing minute, their resentment towards a certain culprit deepened.
One night, a ghost cultivator found them by following the scent.
After obtaining their consent, the creature entered their dreams, drained their vital energy, and fulfilled their desire to die.
The father and son were finally freed, their souls leaving their bodies, and they were liberated.
They hugged each other and cried their hearts out.
God knows how they got through that time, sob sob...
Their resentment was strong enough to meet the criteria for ghost cultivators to recruit followers.
"From now on, you will work for me as my subordinates."
The ghost cultivator was too powerful, and the father and son dared not object, agreeing with trepidation.
Seeing that they were still somewhat unconvinced, the ghost cultivator arrogantly brought out his powerful backer.
"Hmph, there are rules for humans and rules for ghosts. Let me tell you the truth, my godfather is a ghost official in the underworld. If it weren't for my protection, you resentful wandering ghosts would have been caught and brought back to the underworld for judgment and punishment sooner or later. Don't you want to take revenge yourselves?"
The two ghosts stared wide-eyed. Of course, they wanted to take revenge themselves, to make that ungrateful wretch suffer torment while he was alive, and to make him suffer torment even after he died.
Instantly, he looked at the ghost cultivator in front of him with awe and gratitude.
"Thank you for taking me in, sir!"
The ghost cultivators dared not call themselves adults, so they were made to call him Boss from now on, and he issued them their first mission in their ghostly lives.
Three portraits were taken out.
"Now you two must memorize the faces of these three people, find them, and report back to me. Do you understand?"
The moment the father and son looked at the person in the painting, their minds went completely blank.
Isn't this his wife and daughter?
Aren't these my mother and sister?
The other person looked somewhat familiar…
Isn't this the sorcerer from back then?
The two ghosts exchanged a glance, then asked uncertainly, "We don't know... why did the boss look for them?"
The ghost cultivator's cold glare made the father and son shudder.
He mentioned the survival strategy of a ghost spy—
"Don't pry into what's going on above, or you might lose your life."
The father and son nodded repeatedly in agreement, not daring to ask any more questions, and could only look for the answer at another opportunity.
Even if they weren't given this task, they would still go looking for the mother and daughter.
At first, they were relieved to learn that the mother and daughter were missing and had not been harmed by Yu Shuang.
No news is good news. I wonder how that mother and daughter managed to escape from that beast?
...
The father and son quickly adapted to their lives as ghosts, learning from their elder brother while searching for people.
Under the guise of completing a task, I'll also find that beast.
As they acquired some strange powers, they grew increasingly arrogant and felt their revenge plan was secure.
It seems that no matter how wicked that ingrate is, he can't fight against them when they turn into vengeful ghosts.
Hehehe…
