“Your lipstick is crooked,” Zhao Zheng pointed out this problem with sincerity.

Shockingly, the sneering female ghost suddenly went crazy, pinching at his neck, and speaking in a ghost language that Zhao Zheng didn"t understand, “@@#…..”

Zhao Zheng, being strangled, turned white, and could almost see the underworld approaching. And then, Miao suddenly appeared behind the red-clad female ghost, grabbing a handful of the ghost"s hair and pulling the ghost back, making the female ghost to toss Zhao Zheng aside. Then she began to beat the female ghost.

The female ghost was attacked by Miao and she immediately forgot about Zhao Zheng, so she strangled Miao instead.

Zhao Zheng coughed, watching the two female ghosts fight. Both female ghosts were ugly, their faces twisted into ugly expressions because of the fight. Zhao Zheng, as he witnessed all this, felt like his heart had taken 1000 points of damage. He quickly covered his eyes and took a while to calm himself down.

After his physical and psychological states improved a bit, Zhao Zheng worked up the will to thank Miao, “Thank you, Miao-jiejie, although you"re more ugly than this female ghost, your heart is much kinder than hers.”

Miao: “……” Vengeance.

The female ghost and Miao fought for a while and then Tang Yuan came. He gasped and pulled out a piece of paper to attack the female ghost. The female ghost was entangled with Miao and couldn"t dodge the paper at all, so she was directly hit by the talisman.

“Ugh, ugh,” the female ghost screamed twice, slamming to the ground as if she had lost her strength.

Tang Yuan took advantage of this opportunity, mobilizing his spiritual force in order to cast a spell, and then opened the oil-paper umbrella and shouted, “Collect.”

This shout was like a command. The oil-paper umbrella emitted a burst of light, along with a super strong suction force, and collected the female ghost into the umbrella.

The female ghost struggled while screaming, but in the end was helpless. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared before everyone and was automatically collected in the oil-paper umbrella.

Zhao Zheng"s legs were weak as he made his way to Tang Yuan"s side and he said in an aggrieved tone, “Rice Ball, I was almost strangled by that female ghost.”

Tang Yuan waved his hand, “Rest a.s.sured, you couldn"t die, I had already sent Miao to protect you.”

Miao"s protection?

That"s to say, Miao had been following me, but she only appeared when I was about to be strangled?

He sneaked a peek at Miao and found that there were two syllables in Miao"s eyes: Vengeance!

Zhao Zheng: “……” Is it too late to admit my mistake?

The female ghost had been captured, so Tang Yuan"s mission was successfully completed. When he got to the hospital, he gave the Zhao couple a few talismans, saying to wear them at all times and their bodies would slowly recover.

As he was leaving, Zhao Feng and Ye Lan both took his hands and said a word of thanks, and they also wanted to give him a red envelope, but Tang Yuan rejected it. Halfway home, he saw the red envelope was somehow in his bag again.

Since this was the case, he wouldn"t return it. He opened the red envelope to take a look and found that it held 10,000 yuan in cash.

Tang Yuan couldn"t believe it. He was a chicken-like1 first rank tianshi. According to the payment standard of tianshi community, his fee was around 1000 yuan; the Zhao family knew this but still gave him 10,000 yuan!

This is simply……too awesome.

For Tang Yuan, who was still a college student, 10,000 yuan was a huge sum of money. He had to quickly deposit it; he couldn"t lose it.

Tang Yuan returned home in a daze. When he met Xie Yu, both of his eyes were shining.

Xie Yu saw his expression and knew that his mission was successful, so he asked very directly, “That ghost was caught?”

Tang Yuan raised the umbrella in his hand and, with a bit of a proud expression, said, “I got it.”

Xie Yu looked him over and his hand was itching to stroke his head, but he held himself back and smiled, “How does it feel to catch a ghost?”

Tang Yuan put the umbrella on his shoulder and said, “I feel like I"m matchless under the heavens (invincible).”

“Pft,” Xie Yu couldn"t hold back and laughed.

“I"m just kidding, don"t take it seriously.” Tang Yuan put the umbrella down and took on such a lovable and cute appearance that it was impossible to tell he had just puffed out his chest in pride.

Xie Yu couldn"t help but smile as he asked, “Would you like to tell me about the ghost hunt?” He wanted to help Tang Yuan see if there had been any problems. Although he had sent Tao to look after Tang Yuan, reporting to him from time to time on the status of Tang Yuan"s ghost-hunting, Tao hadn"t been clear on some of the details.

“Yeah,” Tang Yuan was happy to talk to him. He finally said, “Fortunately, you happened to call and talk to me a bit, otherwise I would"ve had to work hard to find the female ghost.”

“*Cough cough*” Xie Yu had a bit of guilty conscience. He hadn"t just happened to call Tang Yuan. “When you have more experience in the future, that kind of situation won"t happen.”

“That"s good. I was thinking what if every time I hunt a ghost, I have to play hide and seek with them?”

Xie Yu smiled again and they spoke for a bit longer. Then Xie Yu asked, “Are you hungry? I haven"t eaten dinner yet, would you like to eat together?”

Tang Yuan looked at the time, just at past 8:30, so he was a bit puzzled. “You didn"t eat dinner? Don"t you usually eat dinner at six o"clock?” When Tang Yuan finished speaking, he smiled and then asked, “Were you waiting for me to have dinner together?”

Xie Yu was a little embarra.s.sed, but he had a gentle smile on his face. “No, I was delayed a bit today.”

Tang Yuan obviously didn"t believe that, smiling knowingly, “What"s there to hide about waiting for me? You"re not embarra.s.sed, right?”

Xie Yu blushed. In order to maintain his dignity, he didn"t reply to Tang Yuan again. Tang Yuan watched his reaction and thought it was very amusing, but he only dared to think about that in his heart.

When the food was served on the table, both Xie Yu and Tang Yuan sat down. Tang Yuan looked at the dishes and found they were all his favorite foods. It looked like he was right, Xie Yu really had been waiting for him to eat. His heart warmed, so this is what ‘home and family" means.

He picked up a piece of a dish that Xie Yu usually loved and served it to Xie Yu, saying, “Eat more.”

Xie Yu stared at piece of food that Tang Yuan had given him. After a long time, he smiled gently and then put it in his mouth, replying, “You eat more, too.”

“Okay.”

Tang Yuan began to eat like a piglet, completely unaware that Xie Yu"s expression was a bit off.

After the meal, Tang Yuan and Xie Yu went to the yard to exercise and properly digest and then they went back to their rooms. When he was lying in bed, Tang Yuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something, but what did he forget?

Oh, I remember, I forgot to bring Miao home!

At the Zhao household, Zhao Zheng pitifully crouched in the corner, crying out in his heart, Tang Yuan, come save me!

Then it was time for Tang Yuan to deal with the female ghost. He asked Xie Yu what to do with the female ghost and Xie Yu said that if it was an evil ghost that was harming people, he could freely dispose of it, but if it wasn"t harmful, it was better to send it to the afterworld.

This female ghost shouldn"t be considered good. After death, she actually took the initiative to harm people, but, in the end, she never did kill anyone, so Tang Yuan could only send her to the afterworld.

After he sent the female ghost to the afterworld, he found that his mind was clearer than ever, but he didn"t know if that was just his own imagination.

He sent off the female ghost and his life has become very calm. Usually if he wasn"t learning spells, he was going to cla.s.s. He generally studied everything, but he had a talent in spell-casting. In just three days, his spells increased in level again and his spiritual energy became stronger too.

He went to cla.s.s one day and found that the students were gossiping, talking about who knows what. He was about to ask when Zhao Zheng approached and quietly said to him, “Tang Yuan, did you know? Our school is haunted.”

“Haunted?” Tang Yuan was very interested. Now that he was learning a little bit, he was eager to test his own skills, so he couldn"t wait to have a ghost to catch every day. “Come on. Tell me?”

Zhao Zheng said, “The star couple of our school went out to the woods. A girl could be heard crying there all night, but they couldn"t find anyone. What would you call that if not a ghost?”

Tang Yuan nodded. “Then I"ll look into it tonight.”

The author has something to say,

Sating His l.u.s.ts: Tang Yuan gave me a piece of food; rounding up, that"s equivalent to getting on the boat (euphemism for s.e.x).
Rice Ball: Shushu is so cute, it"s time to flirt with him.
2nd Rate Goods (ZZ): Can you save me first?! Wuwuwu……
Vengeful (Miao): Zhao Zheng, let"s talk.
