"My Tenant is a Female Ghost" features a female ghost.
"Su San, what are you doing here?"
"Wait, wait, don’t call me Su San. I am now called Su Meiniang!" It turned out that Su Meiniang's real name was Su San... Su San—oh no, Su Meiniang glanced at Bai Zhuo and then asked An Zhi Xi, "You need to answer my question first. Five hundred years ago, I saw you enter the cycle of reincarnation with my own eyes. How are you still between the Yin Yang Realm?"
An Zhi Xi seemed to be someone who didn’t like talking much and rarely smiled. Her expression was cold and unapproachable. Her bright eyes blinked, shook her head, and did not answer.
Bai Zhuo was somewhat confused. The woman from his dream had suddenly appeared in reality, and she looked like a ghost. Just thinking about it felt strange. He took a few steps back, his hand in his pocket ready to pull out an exorcism charm, and asked, "Who are you? Su Meiniang—who is she? Do you know her?"
Su Meiniang furrowed her brows and stared at Bai Zhuo intensely, making him feel uneasy all over.
"Wha... what’s wrong? Is there something on my face?" Bai Zhuo asked anxiously.
Su Meiniang replied, "Right now, the question I want to know is not who she is, but... you, who exactly are you?"
Bai Zhuo looked bewildered and shrugged as he answered, "Who am I? I am me! The only heir of the Bai Family, just turned twenty-six today, a virgin and single, my surname is Bai and my name is Zhuo!"
"......"
An Zhi Xi moved lightly and stepped in front of Bai Zhuo. Her beautiful face was almost touching his. Bai Zhuo wanted to step back but found himself unable to move! He realized he had somehow fallen under a ghostly pressure. An Zhi Xi's power was even more terrifying than Su Meiniang's!
She leaned close to Bai Zhuo's cheek and sniffed up and down with her nose before asking, "Who... did you make a Ghost Contract with?"
An Zhi Xi was tall, and since she wasn’t touching the ground, she towered over Bai Zhuo significantly. Perhaps because she was a spirit, her cheeks appeared flawless. Undeniably, An Zhi Xi must have been an extraordinary beauty in life. Even the way she moved her nose left Bai Zhuo somewhat mesmerized.
While he was lost in thought, An Zhi Xi asked again, "Who did you make a Ghost Contract with?"
"Uh... I don’t know. To save my life, I had no choice but to make a deal with that female ghost. She insisted that I marry her as part of the Ghost Marriage. Honestly, I don’t even know her name..."
As soon as Bai Zhuo finished speaking, an eerie glow flashed in An Zhi Xi's eyes. Suddenly, a fierce wind swept through the courtyard; her waist-length hair danced wildly in the wind. Her claw-like gestures sent chills down Bai Zhuo's spine. He could distinctly feel his heartbeat slow for a moment as if all life around him was trembling!
"Tonight, let her come see me," An Zhi Xi did not speak aloud, but her voice resonated through the air, echoing in Bai Zhuo's ears.
Cold sweat streamed down Bai Zhuo's face as he answered, trembling, "B-but I don't know how to find her."
An Zhi Xi finally released Bai Zhuo, her figure gradually disappearing beneath the Pomegranate Tree. Yet her voice lingered in Bai Zhuo's ears: "Think of her, call out to her with your heart! Tonight, bring her to see me!" An Zhi Xi's tone was firm, leaving no room for refusal.
Bai Zhuo replied in fear, "Y-yes... Your Majesty..."
Su Meiniang remained silent.
...
As Bai Zhuo succumbed to An Zhi Xi's "intimidation," still in a daze, Miao Xiaoqi and Yang Liu woke up.
The three of them had a simple meal. Yang Liu spoke up, "Bai Zhuo, I've already called my parents. Can I stay here until they come back? I'll pay the rent!"
With Su Meiniang, the female ghost, now in the house, Bai Zhuo was already feeling overwhelmed. Now there was also the mysterious An Zhi Xi. Plus, Miao Xiaoqi, a girl around sixteen or seventeen years old, would surely be staying at his place until he sent her home. And not to mention Lin Yao Yao, who was always appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Just thinking about it was annoying! But then again, had Su Meiniang not paid rent until now?
Yang Liu wanted to stay at Bai Zhuo's house. He really wanted to refuse her, but doing so might cost him this friend. Bai Zhuo had very few friends and cherished them dearly. Moreover, as a Nine Yin Profound Body, even Su Meiniang coveted her; Yang Liu's talisman was nearly destroyed. Without that talisman, she would only become food for ghosts and monsters. Thinking about it this way made him feel a bit better.
He feigned generosity, "Of course you can stay! Rent? Come on, what are we to each other? Rent is waived! Besides, my house has special formations and barriers; ordinary ghosts can't get in. You can sleep soundly at night!"
Yang Liu's face lit up with joy. "Really? That's great! Thank you so much!" She hugged Miao Xiaoqi tightly, their faces close together as she affectionately said, "Sister Qi is so cute! I want to sleep with her tonight!"
Miao Xiaoqi had yet to recover from the grief of losing her loved ones and forced a smile that looked more painful than crying.
Bai Zhuo shrugged; he didn't mind and sighed at Yang Liu's fearless ignorance. The Miaojiang women seemed delicate and harmless, but once they unleashed their Witchcraft and Gu Worms, they could kill without a trace—terrifying indeed. He had heard from Zhu Man that Miao Xiaoqi's Gu Worm was the Golden Silkworm Gu; just hearing that powerful name made it sound like a truly fearsome Gu Worm!
Suddenly, Yang Liu remembered something important: "By the way, Bai Zhuo! Can you tell your female ghost tenant not to come near me? I'm scared..."
Scared yet still wanting to stay at my place? Tsk...
Of course, he kept that thought to himself and nodded. "No problem; I'll talk to her."
That afternoon, Yang Liu took Miao Xiaoqi out to buy clothes and some daily necessities. Bai Zhuo did not go with them, but with Miao Xiaoqi by Yang Liu's side, he felt reassured.
In the living room, he looked at the items he had obtained from the Ghost Hunting Competition, unsure of how to proceed.
Laid out before him were several items: the Thunder Tribulation Divine Tree, the Five Elements Plate, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and that Demon-Exposing Mirror, which he had exchanged for half of his future happiness. Beside them was a white book taken from Elder Ge's study, its corner engraved with the Curse Seal.
"Ah, Master is going to be furious. If I call him now, I'm sure to get an earful..." Bai Zhuo muttered to himself as he picked up the "culprit"—the clever copper mirror—and wiped away the green patina on its surface, playing with it in his hands.
The copper mirror was quite heavy, at least much heavier than Bai Zhuo's domestic smartphone. There was a nail-sized chip at the bottom of the mirror, which detracted from its overall beauty. Bai Zhuo absentmindedly rubbed his thumb against the chip.
"Ouch!" Bai Zhuo's thumb broke open a cut, blood oozing out as he instinctively pulled his hand back in pain. "Damn it, I'm bleeding! How is this so sharp? Do I need a tetanus shot now?"
Strange occurrences happened every year, but this year seemed particularly rife with them. After the incident with An Zhi Xi, another bizarre event unfolded!
After coming into contact with Bai Zhuo's blood, the Demon-Exposing Mirror unexpectedly rose into the air like a sun, flames bursting forth and enveloping the mirror in a scorching glow while emitting strange sounds like "biubiubiu."
No way, it can't be this cliché! Bai Zhuo thought to himself.
Outside the room, Su Meiniang's voice rang out in anger: "You little brat, are you trying to kill yourself? What are you messing around with? It's boiling hot in here!"
