Huhu laughed, somewhat bitterly: [What could it be? Either captured or already disappeared.]
Mu Qing’s face changed instantly: "Impossible! Feifei has never harmed anyone. It has always been dutifully by my side, not bothering anyone, how could it disappear?"
[Why is it impossible? Didn’t I say, you humans are afraid of us, considering capturing us as a feat of wonder...] Huhu stared at him intently, with a certain malice.
"Not all humans are bad! I can’t guarantee what others are like, but I can say I’ve never discriminated against you. Whatever you are, I look at what you do."
Huhu said: [What if we’ve killed someone?]
Mu Qing’s expression shifted a bit: "If it’s for revenge, that’s between you and them, it has nothing to do with me. But if it’s..."
At that point, his expression became serious, "If it harms the innocent, I will never forgive Feifei."
[How do you know whether the people we harm are innocent or not?] Huhu looked at him and said.
"Heaven is watching what the ghosts do!" Mu Qing stared firmly at it and replied.
For a while, the human and the ghost stared at each other.
Finally, Huhu looked away: [Alright, you win! No wonder Feifei likes you, you’re different from other humans.]
Mu Qing didn’t feel happy at all with its compliment: "Feifei, is it really in trouble?"
[I don’t know, maybe it encountered something and hid away. Only it knows the truth of the matter.]
Mu Qing was silent for a moment: "If there’s news, can you tell me?"
Huhu stood up: [We’ll see! Farewell!]
Finishing, its figure disappeared from the office.
Mu Qing didn’t know if it would return, so he dared not show any sign, looking as if he was severely shocked by the news of Feifei’s disappearance.
When Huhu was there, he suppressed his pain; when Huhu was gone, he no longer repressed it, letting all his pain out.
What he didn’t know was, Huhu indeed did a return trick, though not revealing itself.
It stood where it had disappeared before, staring at him intently. It never expected, this human man truly loved Feifei, then, did he not know Feifei was a female ghost?
He just loved too deeply.
How lucky Feifei was, even as a female ghost, to have someone love it.
And what about itself?
Huhu thought of itself. In life, it was betrayed by its husband, who colluded with a mistress to harm it, living carefree with the inheritance left by its parents.
It hated so much, until it met that person who said, "I can avenge you, but what are you willing to pay?"
At that time, it was scared stupid.
That’s right! Scared stupid, even though it was harmed to death and became a fierce ghost, it was still a naive new ghost, knowing nothing.
[Can you really avenge me?!] Grief, sorrow, and hate enveloped it as it asked excitedly.
"I said, I can avenge you means I can avenge you, but what are you willing to pay?" the person asked again.
And its answer then was: [As long as you can avenge me, any price is fine.]
It was really foolish back then, selling itself for a promise. Since then, it had become that person’s pawn, working for him.
Huhu was silent for a while. Both were female ghosts, why did Feifei suffer no hardship in life, and in death, had someone willing to die for her?
Huhu admitted, it was jealous.
The beautiful ghostly face couldn’t hold anymore, revealing a hideous side.
The decayed face had marks of being cut by a knife, where the mistress, jealous of its pre-death beauty, had destroyed it post-death by hand.
Besides that, its nose was cut off, eyes dug out, even the two lumps on its chest were cut off.
Its walking posture was peculiar too, one foot was somewhat bent, as if broken by someone, the other was longer, making it wobble while walking, looking quite frightening.
When it disappeared again, a golden talisman hit its body, flashed, and then vanished.
Mu Qiuniang’s figure appeared in Mu Qing’s office.
"Great-grandaunt, has it already left?" The pain on Mu Qing’s face faded.
"Yes!" Mu Qiuniang glanced at him lightly, "Performed well this time, continue next time."
Finishing, she too disappeared.
"Great-aunt..." Mu Qing wanted to speak, but didn’t get the chance to. This great-grandaunt, why so hurried?
The vanished Mu Qiuniang naturally went to follow the female ghost Huhu, originally such trivial matters shouldn’t have involved her, but unfortunately, she had no one to use near her.
She frowned thinking: perhaps, she should have Xiao Gong send someone to help him?
The female ghost Huhu did not go to any remote mountain, but to a common apartment building.
In the building, the lights were dim, two were even broken, flickering, seemingly due to long-term disrepair.
The female ghost Huhu walked with an odd gait, passed through a door, and entered a room.
In less than a second, Huhu was thrown out, slamming into the wall with a miserable scream.
"How many times have I told you, knock before entering, why can’t you remember?"
From inside the door came a completely ordinary voice.
Then, a man in sportswear, looking no different from an ordinary white-collar worker on the street, walked out wearing glasses.
His gaze toward the female ghost Huhu was very gloomy.
[I-I’m sorry, I forgot...] Huhu wanted to cry, it just barged in at the wrong time, happening to catch him sucking a normal girl dry, was it necessary?
How could it know he would be playing a one-night stand at this time? Really, shouldn’t this kind of thing be done in a hotel? Why at "home."
"Do you know, you almost ruined it for me."
[I’m wrong, I won’t dare again...] Huhu didn’t dare to talk back at all, directly begging for forgiveness.
Perhaps to ordinary people, they fear such evil ghosts very much, but for a female ghost, there’s one kind of person more terrifying than them, that is the "Ghost Control Master."
How many ghosts a Ghost Control Master can control depends on their skill, but once controlled by them, these ghosts have no good end.
One is forced to do evil, and when a Ghost Control Master is displeased, they can "devour" them.
The ability of a Ghost Control Master, essentially, is absorbing ghost souls through spells.
Huhu didn’t know how many ghosts he had absorbed, it only knew the last ghost that angered him was "eaten" by him.
Though being a ghost isn’t good, it’s better than having your soul dispersed, right?
