What the fuck! What a fierce guy!

Zhao PengYu realized that he had just been saved. Taking a deep breath, he crawled away from the female ghost. When he saw the face of the person who had just come in, his chin almost dislocated from shock. “…Gu Ye?”

Gu Ye’s cold gaze swept over Lin ZiHao and Liu YiWen, who were lying on the ground. He hadn’t slept well for two days and was in a bad mood. “People who are rescued never call their benefactor by name to show respect. You should call me ‘Papa’ instead.”

Zhao PengYu : “….Dude, are you a chuunibyou? Or is this your second personality?”

Gu Ye’s current personality was completely different compared to what he normally saw at school.

Gu Ye scanned Zhao PengYu’s face and said, “You were born into a wealthy family. One of your ancestors was a military general, and your grandfather was also in the army. Your father started a business while your mother was from an even more wealthy and powerful family. She also has her own company, a typical strong woman. Because she didn’t have the time to take care of you during your childhood, your relationship with her isn’t very good. You want to oppose her, but to put it bluntly, you always end up getting beaten instead. You almost died when you were four, and your mother almost lost her life saving you. You probably forgot about that. You will soon have a blood disaster, but once you pass this hurdle, you will become a great figure in the future. If you can’t, then you’ll be a hopeless case.”

Zhao PengYu grabbed the stool in front of him and held it tightly, as if the stool was the only thing anchoring him to reality. Gu Ye basically got everything right.

Gu Ye’s eyes narrowed. “Give me money, and I’ll tell you how to avoid the disaster.”

Zhao PengYu took out his money hurriedly. Gu Ye had just saved his life so he believed everything he said.

Seeing him being so generous, the corner of Gu Ye’s lips curved into a smile, improving his mood. “Don’t cross bridges in the near future.”

Zhao PengYu nervously asked, “And then?”

“If you don’t cross any bridges, nothing will happen. If you do, then something will definitely happen.” Gu Ye then stepped on the female ghost, pasting a charm onto her head. Seeing the ghost’s tragic situation, Zhao PengYu swallowed back the words he was about to say.

At this time, Lin ZiHao finally woke up. Realizing that Gu Ye was really capable and not a liar, he crawled over with tears and held Gu Ye’s leg. “Gu Ye, please help me! She’s really going to kill me!” Lin ZiHao touched his face, and feeling the blood that had dried, he was even more frightened. Firmly holding onto Gu Ye’s leg, he was like a man drowning at sea with only one wooden plank to save his life.

Liu YiWen was also scared to the point of almost having a mental breakdown. Shivering, he said, “We didn’t mean it, we really didn’t. We just played Pen Fairy because we were curious. It was just out of curiosity.”

Gu Ye’s smile turned scornful, “No money, no talk.”

Zhao PengYu asked curiously, “Don’t people like you treat money like crap?”

Gu Ye sneered. “Even families fight for money. I’ve seen a lot of people who love money, but I’ve never seen anyone who loves shit.”

“Pfftt!” Zhao PengYu couldn’t hold back his laughter. Gu Ye had rushed to save him when he was about to die, so he wasn’t a bad person. However, his tongue was truly poisonous.

Lin ZiHao and Liu YiWen could only fork out most of their money with trembling hands.

“Not enough.” Gu Ye looked at them coldly. “Give me all of your pocket money.”

Lin ZiHao and Liu YiWen took a look at the female ghost, whose gaze was fixed on them. Painfully parting with their money, they said, “But if we give all our money to you, then our meal for this month…”

Zhao PengYu couldn’t stand it anymore. He grabbed their wallets and took out all the money inside, angrily saying : “You’re about to die, and you’re still reluctant to pay? Doesn’t the school have a system that allows poor students to earn some pocket money? Go do chores, and you will be paid five yuan a day. Eating some baozi and pancakes for a month is more than good enough. It’s just right that you can learn a lesson!”

Gu Ye put all of their money into his pocket and said, “Did you guys do well on this year’s final exam?”

The two’s pale faces suddenly turned red with embarrassment, as if they had been discovered doing something they shouldn’t.

Zhao PengYu was shocked speechless. These two wanted to know the exam questions in advance, so they summoned the Pen Fairy, and this was how they scored highly in the end year exam!

Gu Ye was too lazy to talk to them. Taking off the charm pasted on the ghost’s forehead, he said, “Sister, let’s talk.”

The other three couldn’t bear looking at the bloody face of the female ghost. In the future, the word “Sister” would leave a psychological shadow on their psyche.

The female ghost lay crumpled in the corner after being beaten by Gu Ye. While resentfully staring at the boy, she didn’t dare to move as she was also scared by the charm Gu Ye held in his hand.

Gu Ye sat down on the stool Zhao PengYu handed over to him and crossed his legs. “What’s your name? How old are you? How did you die? What made you so unhappy? Let’s talk about it.”

If it wasn’t for the season, Zhao PengYu would have volunteered to fan Gu Ye, seeing his domineering attitude.

After a thorough questioning, everyone present ended up sympathizing with the female ghost. It was too depressing!

The ghost’s name was Wang QianQian, a local. She had graduated from the Performance Arts Department of a famous university seven years ago. Originally someone with a bright future, she suddenly found herself pregnant. Her boyfriend then was a year older than her, studied Vocal Music, and had already entered the entertainment circle at that time. He was a fresh artist who looked good and could sing and dance. He participated in a singing competition, was very popular, and also had a bright future.

Wang QianQian, blinded by love, resolutely decided to give up the opportunity to appear in a drama to marry her boyfriend and give birth to the child. She also decided to take care of the child with her boyfriend’s parents. However, when she told him about her idea, she never expected her loving boyfriend to turn his face and refuse to get married with her. He even told her not to give birth to the child. The reason was quite simple. He was in a period of rising popularity. If his fans knew that he was married and even had a child, it would be a great blow to his career.

Wang QianQian naturally disagreed. As her belly was getting bigger, her boyfriend continued to avoid her, causing her to feel greatly betrayed. As an orphan, Wang QianQian longed for familial warmth. She also loved the man dearly, so she didn’t hesitate to threaten him cruelly, saying that if they didn’t get married, she would expose him and let his fans know what kind of a person he truly was. What she didn’t expect was for this remark to ignite the killing intent in him.

She underestimated the man’s pursuit of fame and wealth, also her position in his heart. It was a quiet night when her boyfriend invited her to Wu Middle School, which was still under construction at that time. She was brutally stoned to death.

He then proceeded to pour sulphuric acid, destroying her body while Wang QianQian was still futilely struggling for life.

Wang QianQian had no family, so no one reported her disappearance. All the while, Wu Middle School continued to be built. No one knew that there was a nearly destroyed corpse buried underground, and the workers continued the construction as usual. Thus, a tragedy was hidden for seven years.

With her resentment, Wang QianQian couldn’t reincarnate, and with her hell-bent on revenge, she turned into an earthbound ghost, unable to leave the place of her death. It was only until Lin ZiHao and Liu YiWen played Pen Fairy and summoned her that she could come here. Originally, she could only remain within 10 meters from her body’s location.

If Wang QianQian wants to leave the school, she has to kill someone and let their soul be bound in her stead. In fact, she took a fancy to Xia Xiang in an instant. Her plan was to eat Xia Xiang, kill Lin ZiHao to replace herself, and leave the school to get her revenge. It’s a pity that Xia Xiang always had something on him as protection and later ended up moving into Gu Ye’s dormitory. She had no choice but to change her goal to Lin ZiHao and Liu YiWen.

After listening to her story, Gu Ye said sympathetically, “You really are quite pitiful.”

There were celestial masters who actually sympathized with ghosts! Wang QianQian looked into Gu Ye’s eyes suspiciously and found that he really was honest. She also realized that Gu Ye was not like the other celestial masters she had often heard of. Courage suddenly shot up, she reasoned : “I helped them realize their wish in exchange for their lives.”

Gu Ye seriously praised her, “You only planned to take one of their lives. You really are a businessman with a conscience.”

Wang QianQian nodded earnestly. “Yes.”

Her eye socket that didn’t have much flesh to begin with suddenly failed to function, and her eyeball fell, rolling on the ground before finally stopping at Gu Ye’s feet.

Eyeballs that fall must be picked, ah. Can’t ask anyone else to pick that up. That would be rude! Wang QianQian instinctively crawled over to pick up her eyeball.

“Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!!!” The three boys behind Gu Ye screamed like crazy. Liu YiWen peed on the spot while clutching the chair’s leg and sobbing loudly.

Picking up her eye, Wang QianQian went back to the wall and pressed her eye back to the socket and said apologetically, “Sorry.”

The people present : “…”

Gu Ye touched his ears, upset. This group of wastes, it’s just a falling eyeball. Isn’t it common courtesy to pick up your own eyeballs?

“Gu Ye, help! What should we do now?” Lin ZiHao tugged at Gu Ye’s trousers tearfully and whispered, reminding him to stop talking and just kill her! Quickly destroy her soul to pieces!

Gu Ye swatted the hand on his trousers off and said to Wang QianQian with a smile : “If you let them go, I can help you with your revenge. The little one needs to come out too. His Yuan Qi is heavier than yours.”

There’s still a little ghost baby?!

The three students subconsciously shifted their gaze to the female ghost’s stomach. Oh, right, she was close to her due date when she died, but now her abdomen is flat. They once again panicked and huddled at Gu Ye’s side, hating the fact that they couldn’t crawl into Gu Ye’s arms. Gu Ye’s side must be the safest!

“Hihihihi~” A string of shrill laughter turned the three’s scalp numb, giving them goosebumps. Lin ZiHao turned towards the direction of the laughter in panic and saw a black fog slowly climbing out from his own quilt. Because the room was dark, they couldn’t see the appearance of the ghost hidden in the dark mist. They could only vaguely see that its limbs were deformed, its head was particularly big, and it had scarlet eyes along with a big mouth that seemed to be able to swallow anything.

All Lin ZiHao could think about was that he had just slept in that bed. Had the ghost been there the whole time? Thinking that he might have held the ghost in his arms, he was so scared that he fell to the ground, legs tightly clamped together with a stream of warm liquid flowing. He was scared to the point of peeing his pants. How could he sleep in the future? Whenever he sees this quilt, he will be traumatized!

Even though he saw that his mother had been beaten, the ghost baby didn’t have any intentions of helping. He didn’t know much about human nature. Feeling the aura on Gu Ye, his mouth suddenly opened as big as a basketball, and he instantly pounced on Gu Ye by instinct. The black surging Sha Qi on him smelt of blood, and the ghost kid’s bloodthirsty appearance made Gu Ye frown : Is it okay to just gobble people up?
