My Tenant is a Female Ghost
Is that really Kagura Keiha? And my cheap senior brother, Zheng Ming! How did those two end up together? Bai Zhuo thought to himself, one is Kagura Keiha, the person who almost killed him; the other is the sharp and confrontational Zheng Ming. Just thinking about encountering them made him feel uneasy, and he immediately hid himself carefully.
He could hear Kagura Keiha saying, "What use is that iron plate of yours? Look around, it’s nothing but a mess here."
Zheng Ming scoffed, "The Five Elements Plate is not something a mere mortal like you can understand. Forget it, you wouldn’t get it anyway. But I didn’t expect you, a Japanese person, to know so many idioms. You’ve truly opened my eyes."
"Haha, you sound just like your junior brother. I’m just showing off in front of the experts," she replied lightly.
"My junior brother?" Zheng Ming paused for a moment. "Oh? You mean the one with the surname Bai? You know him? Tch... he’s not worthy of being my junior brother. My junior sister wouldn’t marry him either."
"Can I take that to mean you’re jealous of your junior sister?" Zheng Ming-kun... However, before Kagura Keiha could finish her sentence, she was stopped by the murderous glare from Zheng Ming.
"Alright, alright... forget I said anything..." Kagura Keiha couldn’t handle Zheng Ming’s menacing gaze and quickly changed the subject. "So tonight you seem to have made a bet with your junior brother? Isn’t that clearly bullying him? It’s practically a fantasy for him to come in first."
"Stop with the nonsense and look around for any signs of ghosts or monsters," he urged.
"Sure thing~" Kagura Keiha waved her hand dismissively and called out, "Snow Woman!"
A gust of cold wind mixed with snowflakes appeared as the Snow Woman in her pure white kimono materialized before Kagura Keiha.
"Snow Woman, see if there are any ghosts or monsters around."
The Snow Woman shook her head. "No, Master, but there is the scent of living people."
Zheng Ming gently set down the coffin on his back and frowned as he called out, "Who’s there! Come out!"
Bai Zhuo was just about to step out when someone outside laughed and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Ge's proud disciple has quite a keen nose! To detect someone from this far away is truly impressive!"
“Zhu Cong, your nose is quite sensitive; you arrived even before me,” Zheng Ming said, casting a wary glance at Zhu Cong.
Zhu Cong chuckled dismissively, “This friend beside you must be the Japanese Onmyoji, Kagura Keiha, right?”
Kagura Keiha extended a hand in greeting, “Hey there, friend. Nice to meet you.”
“I never expected the renowned genius, the ‘Divine Coffin’ Zheng Ming, would need to find someone to team up with. How tragic,” Zhu Cong mocked, shaking his head.
Kagura Keiha quickly interjected, “Oh, my friend, you’ve misunderstood Zheng Ming. It was I who sought him out for collaboration. My partner, Cold Young Master, lacks any real skill and doesn’t even qualify to participate in the competition. I had no choice but to look for someone else.”
“Leng Xuan and? It seems your Kagura Family doesn’t have the best judgment. Everyone knows that Leng Family’s young master is a notorious wastrel; how could you possibly collaborate with the Leng Family…”
“Who knows what my sister is thinking?” Kagura Keiha shrugged. “Let’s cut to the chase; it’s currently two against one. I advise you, Zhu Cong, to give up on this prey…”
Before Kagura Keiha could finish speaking, Zhu Cong raised a finger and said, “Tsk tsk tsk… Friend, don’t speak so definitively. Just because you have allies doesn’t mean I don’t! My friends better show up soon; otherwise, they’ll hog all the prey!”
Bai Zhuo hid in the room and peered through the crack in the door as two blonde foreigners carrying Silver Crosses emerged from the darkness outside.
“You, the young master of the Zhu Family, are actually seeking cooperation with foreigners?” Zheng Ming teased.
Zhu Cong laughed heartily, “Hahaha, it’s just adapting to circumstances! Teaming up with America’s Holy Cross is certainly better than some people teaming up with Japanese Onmyoji from Island Nation!” Zhu Cong sneered before his expression suddenly darkened. “Now it’s three against two; are you ready for a fight?”
Unable to withstand the mockery, Zheng Ming drew his Peach Wood Sword and stepped forward but was halted by Kagura Keiha. “Haha, Zhu Cong, do you know the saying about the mantis catching the cicada while a bird lurks behind?”
Zhu Cong felt a jolt of alarm and shouted, “Are there any other friends? Why not come out and meet?”
“Hahaha, this place is truly lively! It seems everyone can sense that monster’s presence; impressive indeed! Those beauties from Miaojiang should also be making an appearance soon!” A boisterous voice called out as a rugged man walked over from another side, speaking in somewhat halting Mandarin.
Three men and one woman, they were part of the Sorcerer group from Thailand, but it seemed like one of them was missing. Opposite them emerged five beautiful young women, unmistakably the girls from Miaojiang. The five girls had faint tear stains on their faces as they looked at the four Sorcerers, their eyes filled with boundless hatred.
With four factions and fourteen people present, things were getting lively. Shouldn't I be fine? Bai Zhuo thought to himself while hiding in the room. Unexpectedly, one of the foreigners from Zhu Cong's group spoke in fluent Chinese, "The person in the room has been watching for so long; shouldn't you come out now?"
"Damn it, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!" Bai Zhuo shouted angrily as he stormed out of the room. He stumbled slightly and nearly tripped, stumbling out clumsily, causing everyone to look on with exasperation.
"Oh? It's Bai Zhuo! My friend, what a coincidence to meet you here! How have you been lately?" Kagura Keiha exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Bai Zhuo, but Bai Zhuo completely ignored him and raised his hand, saying, "Look, my friend's house was robbed. I'm just here to help; you all carry on with your business; it has nothing to do with me."
However, the oddly dressed Sorcerers glared menacingly and said, "It seems you're also a Yin-Yang Master. Want to leave? Fine, leave your Soul Sealing Bag, and you can go."
"Idiot!" Bai Zhuo rolled his eyes and cursed. The Sorcerer understood the meaning of that word and revealed a murderous intent but refrained from acting rashly due to the crowd.
"Hey there, are you alone?" a Miaojiang Girl asked as she looked at Bai Zhuo.
"Yeah, I was originally with a monk, but he went off to handle his own matters," Bai Zhuo replied casually, more than willing to drag that monk into this mess.
The tear stains on the Miaojiang Girl's face made her look like a calico cat. She said, "My name is Zhu Man. Those Sorcerers killed two of my sisters. Help us deal with them, and we'll help you catch ghosts!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuo eagerly agreed without a second thought: "Sure! I've been wanting to deal with those freaks!" However, he heard Zhu Cong mutter under his breath: teaming up with the Miaojiang Gu Clan is courting death.
