But business was at hand. Jiuxi cleared his throat and said, "Your life span hasn't ended yet. If you go to the underworld, you'll have to stay in the City of the Dead for three years. But if you kill him, while you'll feel good for a moment, you'll have to suffer a hundred years in hell. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, so why bother with this?"
The female ghost floated in the corner, covering her face with her sleeves. Her voice was already a little hoarse. She pointed at the unconscious man in anger and said, "I can't accept it! I can't accept it! Why can bad people live so long, while good people..."
Jiuxi counted on her fingers and found out that this inn was opened by the female ghost and the man more than ten years ago. Before opening the inn, they were poor but had a good relationship. After the inn opened, the business became more and more prosperous. The woman was very hardworking and took care of all the rough and fine work in the inn, while the man only had time to collect money and do the accounts every day.
Later, the inn grew bigger and bigger, and the man became richer and richer. He saw that his wife's skin had become sallow due to years of hard work, and there were even some wrinkles on her face. Her hands were like old bark, which was really ugly.
Moreover, the woman only knew how to work diligently and did not understand the joy of the boudoir. One time, when the man passed by a brothel, he walked in as if possessed by a ghost. The women inside seduced him and made him intoxicated. He indulged in wine and sex every day. In the brothel, he also fell in love with a woman and even spent a lot of money to redeem that woman.
The woman's name was Xiaoqing. She was not only beautiful but also had a great figure. The man brought Xiaoqing back to the inn. When the woman saw that the man had brought back a slut, she took advantage of closing time to quarrel with the man in the room. The man lied and said that Xiaoqing had turned over a new leaf from the brothel and wanted to find a job in their inn. He brought Xiaoqing back because he felt sorry for her.
After all, they were also people who had struggled on the line between life and death. A girl was forced to be sold into a brothel and had been engaged in the flesh trade for so many years. The woman was also moved and agreed to let Xiaoqing stay.
Two months passed like this, and the man and Xiaoqing became increasingly attached to each other. He even went to the guest room while the woman was out shopping and did that with Xiaoqing...
As luck would have it, the woman who had just returned saw them. Seeing the two men entangled on the bed, she grabbed a machete from the kitchen and was about to chop the man to death! Unexpectedly, the man knocked the woman unconscious from behind the door and slashed her throat. The woman could only watch as her own blood dripped out...
The man was afraid of the woman's revenge, so he dug a well in the backyard and invited a master to come back to cast a magic circle. Life went on in a mediocre way. Xiaoqing became the proprietress of the inn, but she was always unsatisfied. She was a beautiful woman and wanted any man she wanted. She was unwilling to compromise like this. It happened that a nobleman came to the inn, fell in love with her at first sight, and made an appointment to elope with Xiaoqing.
That day, there was a violent storm. Xiaoqing packed up her belongings and banknotes, and prepared to leave the inn under the cover of night. However, when she opened the door, she saw a man. The man was holding an axe, his face wet with rain. He asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Xiaoqing stepped back in fear, but was tripped by the threshold and fell to the ground in a daze. The light of lightning cast on the man's face. Xiaoqing stammered, "I... I..."
