My Tenant is a Female Ghost
The night felt exceptionally long. Bai Zhuo carried the unconscious Li Yue to a side room and settled her down. The Ghost Hunting Competition was still ongoing, and if Bai Zhuo did not want to end up in a Ghost Marriage, he needed to secure a spot in the top three of the competition. He lacked confidence but knew that without action, there would be no results; at the very least, he had to make an effort for his own sake. He put away the bell, gathered his things, and headed in the direction where the Ghost Fetus had fled, holding his Peach Wood Sword.
As Bai Zhuo rushed along the path, he used the Soul-Restraining Talismans and Soul Sealing Bag given to him by Elder Ge to capture two wandering spirits. However, they were merely lowly ghosts with little age, nothing compared to the Lust Demon he had encountered before, which had been over four hundred years old.
Buzzing… Bai Zhuo's phone rang. Checking the time, it was already around one in the morning. Who would be calling him at this hour? Curious, he took out his phone; it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, who is this?"
Bai Zhuo pressed the phone to his ear. A hurried female voice came through, somewhat familiar. "Hello, is this Bai Zhuo? Thank you… I'm Yang Liu, do you remember me?"
It was actually the female university student Yang Liu! Bai Zhuo asked curiously, "What’s wrong, Yang Liu? How did you get my number?"
"Um, there's no time to explain. Bai Zhuo, can you come to my house?" The invitation from a girl in the middle of the night could be seen as a good thing, but Yang Liu's voice was tinged with tears, clearly not the situation Bai Zhuo hoped for.
"Calm down for a moment, Yang Liu…"
Yang Liu shouted loudly, "Ah—Bai Zhuo! Help me, please… I saw them… I saw so many ghosts!"
So many ghosts? Right, Yang Liu had the Nine Profound Yin Body, which attracted all kinds of demons and spirits! There was hope for first place in the Ghost Hunting Competition!
"Where are you? Hold on; I’ll be there right away!"
"I'm hiding in my closet… My home is in Eighth Building of Liangye District. Bai Zhuo, you're my only contact right now; please save me…" Yang Liu began to sob uncontrollably.
Yang Liu's background was indeed unusual; but why was it again Liangye Villa Complex?
Bai Zhuo comforted her, "Don't cry; don't attract those spirits. I'll be there soon. Do you still have your talisman with you?"
Yang Liu managed to stifle her sobs. "I left it aside while showering earlier and accidentally got half of it wet. The colorful half turned white for some reason… Bai Zhuo, I'm so scared…"
"Don't worry, I'm here!" "Mm! I've been waiting for you!"
Hailing a taxi in the city center was easy. Bai Zhuo spent two hundred dollars to get directly to the entrance of Liangye Villa Complex. There was only one security guard in the booth, dozing off while munching on sunflower seeds, completely ignoring Bai Zhuo.
"Hey, isn't this Huang Boss's... relative? What are you doing here so late?"
The security guard had a low opinion of others. Bai Zhuo decided to play along, "Um, Huang... my uncle has urgent matters and asked me to come over right away. Can I go in?"
"Of course you can! Why wouldn't you? Come in quickly. Do you want some water before you leave?" The guard said obsequiously.
Bai Zhuo thanked him and politely declined before leaving. The guard raised a middle finger at Bai Zhuo's back and muttered, "Tch, just a spoiled rich kid."
Bai Zhuo had always had good hearing and caught his mumbling. He couldn't be bothered to argue with such a person and followed the signs to find Villa Building 8 in the Yangliu area.
The building was eerily quiet. The flickering emergency light at the entrance added to the strangeness. The main door was tightly shut, and the nearby windows were shattered, leaving glass shards scattered all over the ground. This scene felt familiar; another villa, another broken window, reminding Bai Zhuo of the terrifying and formidable Taotie Ghost!
"Could it really be this unlucky..." Bai Zhuo murmured when suddenly a scream pierced through the silence.
"Oh no, Yang Liu!"
Bai Zhuo climbed through a window and rushed upstairs following the sound of the scream.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..." Intense knocking echoed from one of the bedrooms. "Ah! No! Boohoo, Bai Zhuo... why aren't you here yet... you lousy man... all the same... boohoo!"
Bai Zhuo's face darkened; he felt completely innocent in this situation... He suddenly pushed open the bedroom door and saw the last thing he wanted to see—Taotie Ghost!
"What the hell! Is it really you, you ghostly thing?!"
The Taotie Ghost was even larger than before! Bai Zhuo instinctively took a step back!
The Taotie Ghost turned its head toward Bai Zhuo upon hearing the noise, its gaping maw sending chills down his spine. The ghost paused for a moment before breaking into a grin!
“Bai Zhuo? Is that you? I'm holding the talisman against the cabinet, it can't get in, I'm safe for now!” Yang Liu shouted excitedly upon hearing a noise.
“Yang Liu, don't come out! Wait until I call you before you come out! If I don't return, you must stay inside until dawn!” Bai Zhuo cautiously took a step back.
“Huh? Then, Bai Zhuo, take care!”
“Hehehe! Wow… Wuwuwu…” The Taotie Ghost, seeing Bai Zhuo, let out an excited cry. Its voice sounded like an old record from the 1980s, crackling and causing Yang Liu, who was hiding in the cabinet, to scream in fright.
The Taotie Ghost stood upright, its armpit eyes as big as fists, and beneath its dark belly were countless human faces crammed together! A rough glance revealed more than fifty faces! As the eyes under its armpits opened wide, the fifty-plus faces began to laugh eerily, making Bai Zhuo gag several times! Suddenly, this ghostly creature opened its gaping maw and lunged forward!
“Divine talisman to calm the spirits, evil spirits retreat! Urgent Command, decree!” Bai Zhuo hurriedly threw out a Soul-Restraining Talisman. The massive Taotie Ghost had the talisman firmly stuck to its head.
The Taotie Ghost froze in place. “It worked!” Bai Zhuo exclaimed in delight.
“Hoh hoh hoh… Hahaha!” The Taotie Ghost laughed again, its voice extremely unpleasant. It easily tore off the Soul-Restraining Talisman from its forehead and swallowed it whole! The Taotie Ghost's voice fluctuated between male and female as it sneered: “Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, a once-in-a-thousand-years event. I don’t even know how many souls I’ve devoured! Did you think I was still in my previous form? Hehehe, even if you have divine protection, what can you do? Tonight, you will obediently become a part of me!”
“Night Parade of One Hundred Demons… divine protection?” This was too much information for Bai Zhuo to process as the Taotie Ghost lunged at him with a mouth full of malice!
