My Tenant is a Female Ghost is a female ghost.
Why is it Zheng Qiu again? With the surname Zheng, it’s inevitable that Bai Zhuo would think of Zheng Ming and wonder if this Zheng Qiu is related to Zheng Ming.
"Hmph! Even if Mr. Zheng has passed away, as long as I am alive, Mr. Zheng's legacy will forever remain in my heart!" Zhongli said with dignity, "Tonight, either you die or I perish!"
Mr. Zheng? Given Zhong Bo's age, he should refer to Zheng Qiu as 'old gentleman.' Just how old is this Zheng Qiu?
The flames on the Demoness gradually extinguished. Despite being struck hard, she was still able to stand before everyone unharmed! Upon hearing Zhongli's words, she instantly became furious and shouted, "Zhongli! You choose to wander into the Underworld where there are no paths! Prepare to die!"
Tang Baifu, Zhongli, and Elder Ge stood together and said in unison, "Evil spirit, bring it on!"
"Tch—stubborn as a dead duck, hahaha..." The Demoness laughed and suddenly split into two, then four... counting them revealed that she had divided into eighty-one phantoms! Bai Zhuo finally saw the Demoness's appearance and realized she bore a striking resemblance to Lin Yao Yao from My Tenant is a Female Ghost.
"Haha, mortals! Get ready to take my attack!" The Demoness's voice echoed. With so many phantoms, it was impossible to distinguish which was real and which was fake.
Tang Baifu shouted, "Old Zhong, Old Ge, focus! This isn't an ordinary phantom!"
Twenty or so Demonesses circled around the three in mid-air, cackling maniacally. Elder Ge stared at the phantoms for a while and said, "Oh no, I feel dizzy!" Just at that moment of distraction, the twenty or so Demonesses bared their fangs and lunged at Elder Ge!
"Old Ge! Zhongli!"
Elder Ge was taken aback; he wanted to dodge but it was too late. He formed a seal with his hands to cast a barrier when the Demoness grinned widely. A strange sound wave spread out, causing Elder Ge's movements to slow down by half a beat. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty phantoms dove into Elder Ge's body.
Elder Ge suddenly fell into a daze; his eyes became vacant as he stood there motionless. Zhongli and Tang Baifu were besieged by the remaining Demoness and couldn't spare any attention for Elder Ge.
"Poof~" Half a minute later, Elder Ge suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Oh no, Master! Just a single blow has taken down Elder Ge!" Bai Zhuo thought about rushing out, but then he saw a figure slowly emerging from the darkness not far away, causing him to shrink back again.
Hiss! Is that... Meng Po? Bai Zhuo's pupils constricted; the figure was indeed the gatekeeper he had encountered earlier at the Yin-Yang Market—Meng Po!
The nearly hundred Demonesses frowned in unison upon seeing her and asked, "What is that old, immortal scent on you... Who are you?"
"Who am I?" Meng Po hunched over, glancing at the fallen Elder Ge. "Over time, I've forgotten who I really am... However, those who know me call me Meng Po. So, I suppose my surname is Meng?"
"Meng Po?" The phantoms of the Demonesses burst into laughter at her words. "What a laugh... Hahaha... The Ghost Gate, Bridge of Helplessness, Meng Po Soup—how dare a mere mortal claim to be 'Meng Po'? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Hah, it's the first time I've heard the word 'retribution' from the mouths of ghosts," Meng Po slowly pulled out a long object from her robe. "I know you possess great powers; few in this world can extinguish you... Yet look at how desperately these beings fight while I cower behind them? If it comes to it, I am willing to risk my life to see if I can..."
Meng Po paused for a moment and placed the object on the ground. By the moonlight, it was revealed to be a Blood-Red Linglong Tower! Her eyes sparkled with determination as she declared, "I will suppress you for ten thousand years!"
The Demonesses swirling in the air saw Meng Po produce the blood-colored tower and immediately dissipated their phantoms, merging back into one form that displayed a hint of fear on its face!
"Blood, Blood-Red Linglong Tower?" The Demoness exclaimed in panic. "How could that thing be in your hands?"
"Regardless of whose hands it is in, just know this: tonight, you will be suppressed by this Pagoda for ten thousand years!"
The Demoness was stunningly beautiful, comparable to Su Meiniang and An Zhi Xi. Coupled with her enchanting demeanor, Bai Zhuo felt an unusual allure. Her voice was sharp as she shouted, "What of the Blood-Red Linglong Tower? I have roamed the human realm for a thousand years and have never seen such an arrogant mortal like you!"
With a long howl, a dense aura of malice spread from the Demoness, obscuring the sun—a terrifying sight. Meng Po plunged her Blood-Red Linglong Tower into her palm, using blood as a medium to infuse it with soul power. A massive blood-colored Pagoda phantom emerged with a hum from the Blood-Red Linglong Tower!
"Pfft~" Meng Po spat out a mouthful of blood. Zhongli and Tang Baifu rushed to support her. She raised her hand to stop them. "It's fine; use whatever means you have to assist me!"
Zhongli and Tang Baifu, upon hearing the words, quickly summoned several yin-yang talismans, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Demoness!
"Countless Bodhi seeds through eons, blood-red dust in the heart of the earth! Blood-Red Linglong Tower!" Meng Po spat out a few mouthfuls of blood onto the Blood-Red Linglong Tower, causing the ethereal image of the tower to grow larger once again.
The malevolent aura of the Demoness grew increasingly intense. Suddenly, she burst into laughter, exclaiming, "Hahaha, how delightful! So many Vengeful Spirits here to assist me! Assist me... assist me!"
Indeed, this was Burial Mountain, where it was said that long ago many infants were abandoned by their parents and died unjustly.
The black malevolence spread endlessly, and the Demoness's eyes turned increasingly red, surpassing even the Blood-Red Linglong Tower in Meng Po's hands. "This is bad! Something has changed; we must suppress it quickly!" Seeing this, Meng Po hurled the Blood-Red Linglong Tower at the Demoness. At the same time, Tang Baifu and Zhongli threw their talismans. However, Zhongli took out a Purple Gold Bell and began to shake it. "Clear and pure spirit! Supreme True Lord, reveal yourself! Southern Dipper's six stars, Northern Dipper's seven stars, turn all specters to dust! Clear and pure spirit... clear and pure spirit..."
The sound of Zhongli's bell irritated the Demoness immensely. With an angry shout, she shattered the Purple Gold Bell in Zhongli's hand. The backlash from Zhongli's Borrowing Method caused him to spit out blood and kneel on the ground. The Demoness sneered fiercely, "I thought you were a descendant of Zhong Kui and would let you off easy. But you are so ungrateful; prepare to die!" Thousands of her white strands transformed into sharp swords that pierced toward Zhongli!
"Heart!" Tang Baifu pushed Zhongli aside.
"Old Tang!" Zhongli exclaimed in shock as Tang Baifu shouted back, "Come back alive, my old friend!" The white-haired swords pierced through Tang Baifu's heart. Bai Zhuo watched from afar with joy, thinking that Tang Baifu had perished and that he would no longer be a threat. However, although Tang Baifu was pierced through the heart by the white-haired sword, not a drop of blood was seen!
With a whoosh, Tang Baifu transformed into a shower of Soybeans that scattered on the ground. A deep Purple Talisman ignited spontaneously among the Soybeans without fire, turning into a wisp of green smoke.
"Transforming soybeans into soldiers?" Zhongli cursed loudly. "Damn! That old immortal! Such an important matter and he doesn't come in person? He even put Old Ge's life in jeopardy; when I get back, I'll definitely settle accounts with him!"
"Transforming soybeans into soldiers? Hahaha! That old immortal doesn't even have the courage to face me directly. Now I have countless yin souls assisting me; with just you two, what storm can you stir?" The Demoness spread her arms wide to support the massive ethereal image of the Blood-Red Linglong Tower above her head and declared, "I will drain your yang energy and consume your souls; prepare to die!"
The Demoness hurled the ethereal image of the Blood-Red Linglong Tower towards Meng Po and the others. The Pagoda's shadow whistled through the air like a real Pagoda crashing down on Elder Ge and his companions, threatening to crush them beneath its weight!
"Stop!"
Roar~!
A series of dragon roars accompanied by thunderous sounds echoed as a Dragon Shadow shot in from the distance, its overwhelming momentum piercing through the Pagoda. Under the influence of the Dragon Shadow, the Pagoda began to gradually collapse, allowing the three individuals at its base to narrowly escape disaster.
"Who goes there!" The Demoness turned her gaze to one side and saw Bai Zhuo half-kneeling on the ground, his Peach Wood Sword firmly supporting his body. There was no choice; the Dragon Shadow was simply too powerful, and the energy released from it had instantly drained his soul power.
Seeing Bai Zhuo, the Demoness displayed a puzzled expression and asked, "Strange, why do you carry my scent?" She extended her fingers towards Bai Zhuo, who gasped in shock as he was pulled into the air by her.
Bai Zhuo was held captive, his legs flailing in the air. The Demoness leaned closer, sniffing him from side to side. "Odd, why do you have my scent?" It was then that Bai Zhuo finally got a clear look at the Demoness's appearance.
With an oval face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered enticingly. Her cherry-red lips looked as if they had been painted with lipstick, and combined with her blood-red irises, she appeared extraordinarily alluring. Bai Zhuo even took a moment to glance down at her chest.
His throat bobbed slightly as he foolishly smiled and said, "You’re really beautiful!"
Zhongli: "..." Meng Po: "..."
"Huh?" Although the Demoness was a spirit, she had been human in life and understood his meaning all too well. Instantly enraged, she shouted, "You insolent creature! A mere ant dares to mock me? You shall pay for this!"
The Demoness's expression darkened as she opened her mouth to absorb Bai Zhuo's yang energy. Bai Zhuo hurriedly exclaimed, "Wait! Wait! I still have something to say!"
"Save it for the Underworld to tell Yama!"
The Demoness began to draw in Bai Zhuo's yang energy. Zhongli and Meng Po shouted angrily, "Abomination, stop this at once!"
"No, no, no! It should be 'shut up'!" Bai Zhuo felt waves of weakness wash over him; he could distinctly sense his yang energy flowing continuously from his mouth into that of the Demoness!
"Stop!" Suddenly, behind Bai Zhuo, Phantom Sparrow appeared and shouted, "Sister, I have signed a contract with him. Now I am one with him. Hurry up and stop!"
The Demoness paused, confused, and asked, "Sister? Who is your sister? I have never had any siblings. Who are you?"
"It's me! I'm Yao Yao!"
Now it was Bai Zhuo's turn to be bewildered as he weakly asked, "What? Wait, wait. Who is Yao Yao? Aren't you Phantom Sparrow?"
But Phantom Sparrow ignored Bai Zhuo and continued, "Sister, don't you remember? You are me and I am you! Sister! It's me, Yao Yao!"
"Yao Yao? Yao Yao!" The Demoness's face twisted in rage as she clutched her head and cried out in pain, "Impossible, impossible! I am who I am; how could there be another me? Who are you! I will absorb you too! Die! Die!"
The Demoness swallowed Phantom Sparrow in one gulp. Her eyes suddenly turned a terrifying red; one eye bled while the other shed tears. She screamed inexplicably, "I will absorb you! Die! Die... A woman... A woman is willing to go through fire and water for you... It's you! You betrayed me! What vows of eternity, what promises of forever... No... I won't marry him! Su Meiniang, you made me... Die! Die!"
"Uh... uh..." The feeling of weakness grew stronger. Bai Zhuo could only emit sounds from his throat silently, utterly powerless to resist. Zhongli and Meng Po were also severely injured and could only watch helplessly as Bai Zhuo's life force was drained away.
However, this time, the spirit that had always saved him from peril did not appear. As his life force waned, he fell into a deep unconsciousness.
"Lin Yao Yao! Hurry up and stop!" Not far away, Bai Zhuo's ghostly companion from My Tenant is a Female Ghost—Lin Yao Yao—appeared before the Demoness. At first glance, the Demoness bore a striking resemblance to Lin Yao Yao.
"Lin Yao Yao? Hahaha... I am the Millennium Ghost Spirit, the Demoness. What is this Lin Yao Yao... then who are you?"
"I am Lin Yao Yao!"
"Why are you also Lin Yao Yao?" the Demoness asked curiously.
"You are my sister, and I am your elder sister. Yet we are one..."
"Shut up! What nonsense is this! You are being unreasonable. Considering your thousand years of cultivation, I will let you off this time. But if you keep talking, I will devour you too!" the Demoness said fiercely.
"Then go ahead and eat me! It took me so long to reach this moment, and besides, you harmed me... My landlord, I will not let you go!"
"Another one seeking death!" The Demoness threw aside the pale and cold Bai Zhuo and lunged at Lin Yao Yao! But Lin Yao Yao let out a sharp cry, causing the Demoness to shudder. In an instant, Lin Yao Yao transformed into a beam of white light and dove into the Demoness's body!
The Demoness's face contorted as her eyes flickered with red light, returning to normal pupils. She turned to Zhongli and Meng Po and said, "Gentlemen, I will hold the Demoness down for a while. To seal her, I will rely on both of you Yin-Yang Masters!"
Zhongli and Meng Po exchanged glances, both shocked by the situation they had never encountered before. However, having seen much in her life, Meng Po quickly regained her composure and asked, "This young lady... how should I seal this Millennium Ghost Spirit?"
The Demoness pointed at the Bai Zhuo on the ground. "This young man has suffered because of me. Coincidentally, the Demoness has also absorbed this Young Master Bai's Yang energy. By sealing the Demoness within Young Master Bai's body, his Yang energy will return. This way, it benefits both parties!"
"And what about you?" Meng Po asked.
The Demoness smiled brightly. "You worry too much, dear lady. I have my own way to escape... So I entrust this matter to both of you Yin-Yang Masters!"
Just as she finished speaking, her eyes turned red as she shouted, "You won't succeed! You wretched thing! Who do you think you are to try to seal me? You won't succeed! You..." Before she could finish her words, the Demoness trembled, her eyes clearing again. "Gentlemen, hurry up! Otherwise, I won't be able to hold her down any longer!"
Meng Po and Zhongli exchanged another glance before finally nodding in agreement. (To be continued.)
