Ning Wei had only tried it this time, and it actually got discovered by the attendant.
She looked at the Returning Soul Flower with some regret. The attendant, thinking she was trying to snatch it, quickly stuffed it into her mouth.
The white flower mixed with her flesh and blood, making Ning Wei so disgusted she didn't want to look again.
She had reasonable suspicion that the attendant was deliberately trying to disgust her!
Giving the attendant a glare, Ning Wei returned to the back row.
Behind Ning Wei was Li Ye. After he handed his ticket to the attendant, the attendant didn't even look at it, just stuffed it into her pocket and let him go.
More importantly, Ning Wei clearly remembered that Li Ye also had that precious bead from the Zhou family in his pocket. Why did the attendant pretend to be blind?
Ning Wei lay by the window, thinking hard. There was only one reason that could explain this: Li Ye's identity was so special that the attendant chose to turn a blind eye.
This world was truly unfair!
Whether one was human or ghost, they would be treated differently. Ning Wei felt a bit down.
Li Ye's shadow was cast on the window from the other side. Ning Wei poked the window repeatedly with her finger, attempting to vent her inner dissatisfaction in this way.
Li Ye seemed to sense Ning Wei's unhappiness. He took out the precious bead from the Zhou family and played with it in his palm, his muffled voice instantly attracting Ning Wei's attention.
It was impossible to see clearly through the window, so Ning Wei turned around to take a look.
Indeed, Li Ye had brought the bead, and the attendant had actually tacitly approved this situation!
Ning Wei gritted her teeth in anger and pounced to snatch it.
The Returning Soul Flower from the Zhou family was a good thing, and so was this bead!
Since she didn't have the flower, she had to snatch the bead. After all, her contribution in Qiu Yin Village this time was the greatest!
The two suddenly started fighting in the back row, and the passengers in front looked back in surprise.
The attendant initially wanted to intervene, but after receiving Li Ye's look, she immediately retreated to the very front of the carriage.
These two were people she couldn't afford to offend. How frustrating!
The final victory belonged to Ning Wei. She held the bead and looked triumphantly at Li Ye.
The next second, she became miserable. The bead had been kept in a corpse for over a hundred years, and its Yin energy had already permeated every part.
Ning Wei had only held it for less than a minute when the Yin energy emanating from the bead almost injured her hand.
As the Yin energy harmed her, she instinctively threw the bead back.
Li Ye caught it. He glanced at Ning Wei's pale hand and snorted, "Not everyone can hold it."
Ning Wei gnashed her teeth in anger, the pain in her hand still reminding her how ridiculous that little commotion had been.
Li Ye reached out and grabbed her hand. After a few seconds, the pain disappeared, and the Yin energy receded.
Ning Wei's expression changed quickly. Seeing that Li Ye had helped her dispel the Yin energy, she immediately sat beside him with a fawning smile. "Can it cure any wound?"
Li Ye looked down at her. "Yes, it can even bring the dead back to life. You can try it next time."
"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" She knew Li Ye never said anything nice. She was too naive to have had any illusions about him.
After their playful scuffle, the carriage returned to silence.
The driver also breathed a quiet sigh of relief. However, what he exhaled was Yin energy, which slowly drifted through the carriage.
This Yin energy seemed to have a purpose. It traveled from the front of the carriage to the back, finally stopping beside Ning Wei.
It was then that the attendant noticed something was wrong. The Yin energy of ghosts could harm people. If Ning Wei inhaled it, the driver would have violated the bus rules and would be…
The attendant dared not think further. Her body tightly wrapped around the handrail, wanting to reach out and grab the Yin energy.
Ning Wei was already sound asleep, unaware of all this.
Just as the attendant reached out, Li Ye grabbed the Yin energy and stuffed it directly into the attendant's mouth, then struck her on the head.
The poor attendant was sent flying from the back of the carriage to the windshield by a powerful force.
Fortunately, the driver freed up one hand to catch her, otherwise this commotion would have surely woken all the sleeping passengers.
"You scared me to death!" The attendant forced herself to swallow the Yin energy, clutching her flattened head and looking at the driver aggrievedly.
"It's all my fault. I'll be careful next time," the driver apologized in a dry voice.
But this attitude was not enough to appease the attendant, so she also slapped the driver's head, flattening it. The mixed substance of white and red brain matter sprayed onto the windshield. Only then did the attendant feel her anger subside.
The driver was too honest, and the attendant's beating this time was partly his fault, so he remained silent after being hit, continuing to drive obediently.
All the passengers were asleep, except for Li Ye.
His clear and cold voice suddenly reached the ears of the driver and the attendant. "Remember your duties, and do not break the rules!"
The driver and the attendant stopped fooling around and replied with their heads bowed, "Yes!"
In truth, they didn't know the identity of this man who had suddenly boarded their bus, but his powerful aura was enough to make them submit.
He must be a distinguished figure who was temporarily on their bus due to some minor issue.
The attendant was not just someone who knew how to fool around and bully passengers; she also had her own plans.
The moment she saw this mysterious man, she knew that the turning point for her and the driver had arrived, as long as they could seize this opportunity.
After everything returned to normal, Li Ye turned his head to look out the window.
For Ning Wei and the others, the outside was endless darkness and unknown dangers.
But for Li Ye, the darkness was filled with countless ghostly hands, always ready to grab innocent passengers and drag them into the endless darkness and fog.
The world outside the bus was, in a way, another kind of hell.
The driver's skills were still terrible. After a sudden brake, the automatic wake-up service was activated. If everyone wasn't wearing seatbelts, they would probably all be thrown out.
The driver was completely oblivious to how bad his driving was, so Ning Wei kindly reminded him before getting off: "Your driving skills are so poor, is it because your brain matter flew out?"
The driver stared blankly, not knowing what to say. The attendant, however, was displeased.
"If you think his driving is bad, then don't get on the bus!"
Ning Wei turned and looked coldly at the attendant, then whispered into her foul-smelling ear, "You two-faced wretch. You didn't accept the flower I brought, yet you pretend not to see what someone else is carrying. Do you believe I'll report you for unfair treatment?"
The attendant swallowed a mouthful of blood. She wanted to deny it vehemently, but this tactic wouldn't work on this woman.
She then turned to the pitiable driver. "Did you hear that? Miss Ning Wei wants you to improve your driving skills!"
