Chapter 913: Jealous ???

Although Ye Wenxin had no interest in clothes or jewelry, she knew there was a trend for sexy dudou. People in this world wore dudou with various elaborate designs to please their lovers.

But the one Ghost Mother now wore was a lot to take in, and her skin was so fair. If a man were in Ye Wenxin’s shoes right now, he would have lost it already.

Ye Wenxin felt a little dumbfounded. However, considering Ghost Mother’s track record, she suspected this might be a trap.

“How do I look?” asked Ghost Mother, observing Ye Wenxin’s awkward expression, hoping to hear more of what she thought about her.

“Not bad, but I don’t think red suits you. You look better in dark green,” Ye Wenxin critiqued, trying to change the subject.

Ghost Mother leaned in, blowing in her ear.

“You don’t feel anything?”

Ye Wenxin shook her head hard. “Just cold.”

This position was dangerous. Ye Wenxin had just vowed to treat Ghost Mother better and not as a pawn. But immediately after, Ghost Mother used this extreme tactic to entice her.

Ye Wenxin silently recited sutras to keep herself pure and free from desire. All women in this world were pink skeletons. Indulging in them would only harm them and herself.

“Ye Wenxin, you—” Ghost Mother fumed, but unlike the slaps or punches from ordinary women, her anger was lethal.

Her fingernails began to lengthen, emanating a powerful aura of malevolence. Even with Ye Wenxin’s innate defense, she would still feel pain if those claws brimming with Yin energy struck her. She couldn’t allow Ghost Mother to land a hit.

Ye Wenxin reached out, grabbed her hand, and restrained her.

Ghost Mother continued to squirm, her dark green eyes resurfacing. She seemed to be turning more humanlike. After her evolution, she no longer feared sunlight, and possessed strength even greater than before. But a ghost was still a ghost. She couldn’t replace a human being.

“Don’t move!” Ye Wenxin warned, releasing her oppressive aura. Ghost Mother immediately became obedient.

Ye Wenxin usually concealed her true strength, so Ghost Mother could tell she was genuinely angry. Ghost Mother stared at Ye Wenxin with wide eyes, hoping she would use the cruelest method to punish her for her mischief.

At times like this, Ye Wenxin always preferred methods difficult to endure. Ghost Mother’s mind resisted, yet her body couldn’t help but crave the pain.

“All right, be good and go to sleep.” Ye Wenxin had already bound Ghost Mother’s hands and feet in the blink of an eye. She then turned over and lay beside her, going back to sleep.

Even though Ghost Mother had dressed the part and showed weakness for once, Ye Wenxin didn’t care at all about the fire smoldering in her heart. She just left her hanging.

“……”

Ghost Mother wanted to curse Ye Wenxin with the most venomous words, wishing she would die. That way, Ye Wenxin could become a ghost, and Ghost Mother, being the most powerful of her race, could reverse their roles. She would force Ye Wenxin to kneel before her every day, begging for her touch.

“If you try anything funny, don’t even think about coming out tomorrow.” As if sensing the bloodlust beside her, Ye Wenxin added a friendly warning. Still, she made no move to punish Ghost Mother.

Everything in the dream frustrated Ye Wenxin. She had to treat Ghost Mother kindly, yet Ghost Mother was anything but docile. Should she go back to fighting violence with violence?

Ye Wenxin mulled it over in her mind and then sensed movement beside her.

Slightly puzzled, she lifted the quilt and saw that the eight furballs had transformed into Liuli. Liuli threw a taunting look at Ghost Mother, grinned, and snuggled affectionately into Ye Wenxin’s arms.

Ghost Mother let out a threatening, guttural growl. Liuli only nuzzled closer, her expression pure and innocent as ever. It was apparent she held no romantic feelings toward Ye Wenxin. She was only doing it to get under Ghost Mother’s skin.

Ye Wenxin was speechless. But Liuli was so well-behaved—completely different from Ghost Mother. After thinking it over, she wrapped one arm around Liuli and lightly patted her back a few times. “Sleep.”

Liuli seemed a little surprised but said nothing, tightening her hold around Ye Wenxin.

Ghost Mother ground her teeth behind them. Yet, she couldn’t break free from the specially crafted ropes binding her. She helplessly watched under the dim morning light as the person she desired slept soundly in another woman’s arms.

Ghost Mother felt humiliated. But soon, her eyes flickered as an idea struck her.

The rope restrained her body, not her soul. In other words, she could switch places with Sword Ghost.

After confirming the plan’s feasibility, Ghost Mother closed her eyes and saw herself separating from her body. Immediately afterward, another soul was drawn into it. She didn’t return to her physical form just yet. Now that she was in her spirit state, she intended to give Liuli a proper beating.

“Huh? Where am I?” Sword Ghost looked around at the furnishings, saw the body she had been forced into, and then spotted Ye Wenxin.

“M-Master…” Sword Ghost’s voice quavered. She had only agreed to switch places with Ghost Mother because Ye Wenxin had been too fierce to handle, even for a ghost. Seeing Ye Wenxin now filled her with dread.

Then, she noticed Ghost Mother watching from the side. Sword Ghost immediately exited the body again, intending to shove Ghost Mother back into it.

Liuli sensed the disturbance and called the sleeping Ye Wenxin. “Master, Sword Ghost is back…”

Ye Wenxin gave a quiet grunt in response, reluctantly opening her eyes.

Sure enough, she saw the two ghosts fighting in the air while the body below them lay like a corpse: stiff, cold, and lifeless.

Ye Wenxin stared in bewilderment, unsure what the two ghosts were up to this time. After a moment, she chose not to interrupt and listened to their argument.

“You’re the one who should be staying by Master’s side!”

“No, it should be you, Gui Gui! Master said she wished to see you every day!”

Ye Wenxin had thought they were fighting over a place at her side. But she realized she’d been a bit too self-indulgent. These two ghosts were still traumatized by the things she had done under the side effects of her cheat.

She cleared her throat. “You two don’t have to be so afraid. I don’t have that inclination anymore.”

They still looked terrified. But since the body was here, these two bound ghosts could only fly around it. Ye Wenxin sighed helplessly. She undid the bindings on the body and pulled out some silver pieces.

“Go book yourselves a new room. And stop being so noisy.”
