Chapter 73
Like many previous races, Zhong Kaiwen's car took the lead and rushed to the front.
Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw that the car behind him was gradually being left behind, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
Zhong Kaiwen's initial excitement gradually cooled down.
He came here to race for the sake of excitement. He was already very familiar with the mountain roads here, and no one's driving skills could surpass his, so the excitement was gone. There was no doubt that he would be first again this time, but winning so easily made him feel no sense of accomplishment.
At this time, fog suddenly rose in the mountains. There was a full moon hanging high in the sky, shining brighter than the street lights, but it could not disperse the increasingly thick smoke.
At this moment, Zhong Kaiwen suddenly discovered that there was suddenly a new road on the winding mountain road that he was familiar with.
Not only was he not afraid, he was also very curious. He bravely turned the steering wheel and drove directly into the newly appeared road.
After an unknown amount of time, the thick fog ahead gradually dissipated, revealing a very strange team.
They were wearing red clothes and red silk, with people in front playing music, and behind them was a sedan chair carried by eight people, which was only seen in TV dramas.
Only when I got closer did I see clearly that those were not people at all. They were all monsters with human bodies and rat heads!
Zhong Kaiwen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
But it was too late to turn around and escape. The monsters on the opposite side had already seen him and surrounded him in the blink of an eye. Pairs of green eyes looked at him greedily and pulled at his car door, trying to pull him out.
Zhong Kaiwen immediately stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, knocking the monster in front of him away, and also hitting the bridal sedan, smashing it into pieces.
The car drove straight forward and he didn't dare to look back at all.
Until two forks in the road appeared in front of me, and I hesitated for a moment, not knowing which direction to choose.
A clear female voice rang out: "Go left."
Zhong Kaiwen turned his head suddenly and saw a beautiful woman in a red wedding dress sitting in the passenger seat.
He was immediately frightened and the car rushed down the mountain stream. The woman raised her hand and flicked her sleeve, and the car seemed to be lifted up by something, returned to the mountain road, and automatically turned to the left.
Zhong Kaiwen’s mind was filled with the thought, “It’s all over, it’s all over, I’m going to die.”
The scene before him suddenly changed, and he was back on the winding mountain road that he was very familiar with.
The car slowly stopped and when I looked back, the road I had just come from was gone.
Zhong Kaiwen stared blankly at the woman in the wedding dress.
The woman in the wedding dress smiled at him, got off the car, performed the ancient woman's blessing ceremony to him, and thanked him gratefully.
It turned out that the woman was a ghost fox who had been practicing here for nearly a hundred years. There was a village here decades ago, and she had been worshipped by the villagers.
Later, the village moved away, but she still stayed here to practice in seclusion.
But recently, a ghost general came to the area and heard of the ghost fox girl's reputation and wanted to marry her. The ghost fox girl was of course unwilling. Moreover, the ghost general must have bad intentions in marrying her, and he might just want to take her essence.
The ghost general didn't give up and attacked directly. The ghost fox girl was caught off guard and was successfully ambushed. She was forced into a red wedding dress and a sedan chair. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape. Once the sedan chair was carried to the ghost general's residence, she would be in danger.
Fortunately, he met Zhong Kaiwen. The Zhong family's ancestors had great merits and blessings for the younger generation. Zhong Kaiwen was blessed by his ancestors and ordinary ghosts could not get close to him. That's why he was able to use his racing car to smash the ghost general's sedan chair and release the ghost fox girl.
The ghost fox girl escorted him all the way back to the familiar road and said goodbye to him.
Originally, the story ended here. It was just a selected magical experience.
However, as soon as Zhong Kaiwen was safe, he started to act recklessly again.
After returning home, he couldn't help but search the internet for many legends about ghosts and foxes. Of course, the most famous and classic one was Liao Zhai.
It's not like he had never read Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio before, but at that time he thought the whole book was just the fantasy of a poor scholar.
Now that he had really met such a beautiful ghost fox girl, he couldn't help but be moved.
So he ran back to find the fox girl in a shameless manner.
After all, he is her savior, so the fox girl can't avoid him and not meet him.
Zhong Kaiwen is a smooth talker. If he wants to please someone, he can say all kinds of nice things.
The ghost fox girl had been practicing in the mountains and had never seen the world. She was easily attracted by the new and novel toys he brought from outside and accepted Zhong Kaiwen's confession.
Zhong Kaiwen wanted to have sex in the car with the Ghost Fox Girl, but the innocent Ghost Fox Girl decisively refused, saying that they were not married and could not do such an extraordinary thing.
So Zhong Kaiwen used the same routine as in novels, movies and TV dramas, and worshipped the moon, heaven and earth with the ghost fox girl, as if they were getting married.
The fox girl finally obeyed him.
The two of them had been dating for two months. During these two months, Zhong Kaiwen's health improved and his appearance became more radiant. His already handsome appearance attracted more people's attention, and his strength also increased.
He also unexpectedly helped a big boss's beloved daughter who had just returned from studying abroad, and won her heart.
The big boss took the initiative to approach Boss Zhong and proposed a marriage.
Boss Zhong didn't know that his son had married him a fox ghost as his daughter-in-law, so he happily agreed.
Zhong Kaiwen was very resistant at first, but changed his mind after meeting his jewel in the crown a few times.
The jewel in his palm is not as pure, wild, and free-spirited as the fox girl. Instead, she is gentle, virtuous, well-educated, intelligent, and considerate. This is his ideal wife.
The marriage has been finalized, and Boss Zhong sternly warned Zhong Kaiwen to settle down and live a good life with his partner's daughter. If he dares to have an affair with other women outside, he will break Zhong Kaiwen's legs and kick him out of the house.
Zhong Kaiwen knew his father's temper and knew that he would keep his word. Moreover, his future father-in-law was not a simple person either, so he felt timid and was really determined to have his future wife be devoted to him. So he went to the mountains to find the ghost fox girl and break up with her.
The fox girl was dumbfounded: "What breakup? Haven't we already prayed to heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber to become a real couple?"
Zhong Kaiwen was also dumbfounded: "I've never seen parents do this without a marriage certificate or a wedding, just a few greetings like that. Isn't this just playing house? How can they really get married?"
Ghost Fox finally realized that she had been deceived, but she was stubborn and thought that since she had lost her virginity to Zhong Kaiwen and they had sworn vows to heaven and earth, they were truly husband and wife, and Zhong Kaiwen would never deny it.
Zhong Kaiwen refused to admit it: "What's wrong with having sex? Who still cares about chastity these days? What couple doesn't start talking about sex within a few days of confirming their relationship?"
He thought they were just having an ordinary relationship, and if it didn't work out, they'd just break up. Besides, he wanted to marry the fox girl, but did she have an ID? Could she go get a marriage certificate with him? Could she bear him a child?
In the end, Zhong Kaiwen had to use the kindness he had shown her in the past as a threat before the ghost fox girl let him go.
He thought that this would completely break up with the fox girl, and he could live a sweet and loving life with his wife in the future.
But the ghost fox girl was still a fox, a ghost fox at that. Her own violent temper had been suppressed by years of pure cultivation. She had already broken her heart in order to be with Zhong Kaiwen. Now, after being provoked by Zhong Kaiwen, her violent temper burst out. Soon, Zhong Kaiwen received retribution.
Zhong Kaiwen began to involuntarily make love with the ghost fox girl in his dreams every night. After only six or seven days, he had become as thin as a mummy.
Boss Zhong took him to see many hospitals in Kyoto, but they couldn't find the cause of his illness. They all said that he had excessive indulgence and severe kidney deficiency, and that he must abstain from sex.
But as soon as he fell asleep, the fox girl would come to him, and as soon as he saw the fox girl, he could not resist the temptation and continue to make love with her.
After learning of the existence of the ghost fox woman, Boss Zhong sought out many Taoist priests and monks, and visited many Taoist temples, but to no avail. He even set up an altar to worship the ghost fox woman and promised to let Zhong Kaiwen marry her in a ghost marriage and give her a legitimate status. From then on, Zhong Jia and Zhong Kaiwen's descendants would have to worship her, but it was useless.
Even though Zhong Kaiwen has been transferred to this hospital, there are a few doctors in the hospital who do have some skills in this area and can help him expel the evil spirits and strengthen his body, but it cannot stop the ghost fox girl from coming into his dreams every night to seek pleasure from him.
Zhong Kaiwen's life was saved by the doctors in the hospital, but every time he slept, it was a painful torture.
Zhong Kaiwen finally got scared and cried and begged the fox ghost in his dream, asking her to spare his life.
But the ghost fox seemed to really want to take him away, and no matter how much he cried and begged, it was useless.
So Zhong Kaiwen was eager to survive, so he put the blame on his father and said that he didn't really want to break up with the ghost fox girl. The main reason was that his father looked down on the ghost fox girl and forced him to get married. He didn't want to do that either, because in his heart he still loved the ghost fox girl.
The ghost fox girl believed it and finally let Zhong Kaiwen go temporarily, and then went to find the "culprit" Boss Zhong.
So Zhong Kaiwen was finally able to take a breather these two days, but the unlucky one became Boss Zhong.
Things like tonight, where I almost died, have happened several times in just two days.
Boss Zhong also went to the hospital to visit his son. When he talked about his own bad luck, he saw that his son was guilty, and after strict questioning, his son finally confessed to the blame-shifting incident.
Boss Zhong was furious: "I really don't know what sins I committed in my past life to have given birth to such a jerk in this life!"
The others who heard it found it truly eye-opening.
I've never seen Zhong Kaiwen courting death like this.
Originally, he saved the ghost fox girl, which could be considered a good relationship. But he had to be so shameless as to run back and seduce her.
After I got you, I said I was just playing around with you. Now I want to break up completely so I can go back and get married and have children. It would be strange if I wasn't pissed off.
The ghost fox girl is really miserable when she meets the scumbag Zhong Kaiwen.
Boss Zhong also knew that his son's actions were extremely dishonest. He personally poured a cup of tea for everyone and said to Qi Yue sincerely, "I also know that my son is not a good-for-nothing, but he is my own son after all, and his crime does not deserve death. I just hope that Mr. Qi can have a good talk with that ghost fox girl. I am willing to let her marry into our family and enter our family tree. In the future, her tablet will be enshrined as Kaiwen's wife. Kaiwen will follow the encouragement and honestly guard her for three years. All future children will recognize her as aunt. If there is any other compensation you want, we can try our best to meet it. I just hope that she will let my son go because of the kindness we showed her in the past."
The more Mother Gu listened, the more she felt something was amiss. "Boss Zhong, what you're saying is that you can give her the status, but Zhong Kaiwen will have to marry and have children in the future, and you're asking her to stop pestering him? Do you think this is fair to the girl?"
Boss Zhong smiled awkwardly, "I also feel that this is unfair to her, but after all, humans and ghosts are on different paths. She and Kaiwen have no future."
Mother Gu had nothing to say, but she was even more upset.
Qi Yue, however, clenched the teacup in his hand because of the four words "humans and ghosts have different paths".
He sneered, "Boss Zhong, do you really think that your son is the one who suffered the most in this matter?"
