Ming Li: "...... You've been practicing Taoist arts for so long, and all you detected was ghost energy?" And... your intuition is showing? Are you sure you're not joking with me?
( ̄_ ̄|||)
Hearing her elder sister’s words, Shen Xiu’er sheepishly rubbed the back of her head. "Sister, I'll diligently practice Taoist arts from now on, but for now, I might need your help."
Saying this, Shen Xiu’er grabbed Ming Li's hand and shook it.
Ming Li: "...Let go."
Shen Xiu’er shook her head. "No, I won't let go if you don't agree to help me!"
Hearing this, Ming Li’s forehead was covered in black lines. She took out a stack of talismans from behind her and handed them to Shen Xiu’er. "Just throw one at him when he does something bad."
“Sister, aren’t we going to capture him?” Shen Xiu’er took the talismans and looked at Ming Li, her face full of confusion.
Ming Li: "...If I told you I attached a soul-stabilizing talisman to him, would you believe me?"
Soul-stabilizing talisman?! wΑp.kanshu伍.net
“Sister, why did you attach a soul-stabilizing talisman to that malevolent spirit?”
Meeting Shen Xiu’er’s shocked gaze, Ming Li said, "If I told you it was a Ghost King, would you believe me?" Moreover, he's your destined future husband, so aren't you surprised? Aren't you thrilled?
A Ghost King?
Then aren't the people in their class in danger?
Thinking this, Shen Xiu’er's beautiful small face turned serious. "Sister, I understand. I will definitely not let that Ghost King harm others!"
"???"
Just as Ming Li was feeling a bit bewildered, a voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Shen Xiu’er, what are you doing here by yourself?"
Suddenly hearing someone call her name, Shen Xiu’er quickly put away the talismans and turned around. She saw it was her roommate and another male. She let out a sigh of relief and waved towards Ming Li. "Sister, I'm leaving."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she froze. How could she forget? Her sister was now a ghost, an invisible ghost to humans...
As expected, when Shen Xiu’er turned her head, she met three bewildered gazes.
A girl named Song Ting spoke with a strange expression. "Xiu’er, who were you just talking to?"
Shen Xiu’er: "...If I said I was just reciting my lessons, would you believe me?"
Ming Li, who was standing beside her, twitched her lips and vanished into a wisp of green smoke the next second.
Seeing this, Shen Xiu’er breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled her three roommates away. "I heard a delicious Sichuan restaurant just opened near the school entrance. Shall we go there today?"
The three were instantly distracted by her words.
Thus, the four of them walked towards the school entrance, giggling.
No one noticed a figure emerging from a dark corner, his expression grim. "My bride, how can she be so close to other men..."

The next day, during physical education class.
As Shen Xiu’er was doing warm-up exercises, she turned her head and met a ghastly pale face.
Shen Xiu’er, who almost screamed, asked, "...Classmate Li, is there something you need?"
The Ghost King, looking displeased, raised his hand to pinch Shen Xiu’er’s chin. However, his hand was grabbed by another slender hand the next second. A pleasant male voice entered the Ghost King's ears, causing him great annoyance.
"What do you think you're doing?"
The Ghost King turned his head and saw a familiar face, which made him frown deeply.
Isn't this the man who was close to my little woman last night? Damn it! Always ruining things!
