Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 311 Modern Supernatural 2

"Awake? You're not pretending to be asleep anymore?" Qiao Chu's lazy and pleasant voice rang out in the room.

Hearing her voice, Murong Bai paused slightly before speaking, "I was woken up by you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Chu raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't make a sound to wake you up."

"I felt cold as soon as you came over, so I woke up naturally."

Murong Bai didn't know why he was talking so much to the ghost; it was probably because it had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him so calmly.

"Oh? So you're upset that I woke you up?" Qiao Chu moved closer to him.

Murong Bai quickly got out of bed and explained, "That's not what I meant."

"Why are you running?" Qiao Chu's voice suddenly turned sinister.

"I... I just feel a little cold when I'm near you," Murong Bai said, pinching his hand hard.

Xiao Qi spoke from within the space: "Host, you're so naughty, you're deliberately scaring people."

"I did save his life, so what's wrong with teasing him?" Qiao Chu said matter-of-factly.

After saying that, she waved her hand, and the room lights came on. The sudden light made Murong Bai instinctively close his eyes, and he only opened them after a while.

With clear vision, he immediately saw the female ghost in a red dress lying on his bed. When he saw her face clearly, surprise flashed in his eyes.

The ghosts he had seen before were all terrifying or bloody; this was the first time he had seen such a normal ghost.

But the more this happened, the more nervous he became. He figured the more powerful the ghost, the more human-like it was. He wondered why this female ghost had targeted him.

Just as Murong Bai was lost in thought, a voice came from beside him: "What are you thinking about?"

Murong Bai froze, just as he had been lost in thought.

Qiao Chu had already slipped behind him and was speaking close to his ear. Her cold breath seeped into his ear, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Nothing, what brings you here?" Murong Bai asked, calming down.

Qiao Chu flashed in front of him again, a smirk playing on her lips, and said, "I saved you, you have to repay me!"

"When did you save me?" Murong Bai asked, though he was a little afraid of her.

"At the entrance of the residential complex, have you forgotten so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Bai remembered and widened his eyes, saying, "Was that you who appeared in the back?"

Seeing Qiao Chu nod, he pursed his lips before asking, "How do you intend to repay me?"

Although she was very unwilling, she did save herself, mainly because she didn't have the ability or courage to protest.

“I’ve requisitioned this place, so you have to listen to me,” Qiao Chu said.

Murong Bai stared wide-eyed, as if to say, "How could you make such an unreasonable request?"

Qiao Chu curled the corners of her lips, staring at him dangerously: "Do you have a problem with that?"

"I...I have no objection!" Murong Bai swallowed hard and conceded.

"Okay, you can go now, I need to rest!" Qiao Chu said matter-of-factly.

As she spoke, she lay down with her back to the person and fell asleep immediately.

Murong Bai glared at her retreating figure, then turned and walked angrily toward the door. To get back at her, he didn't turn off the lights or close the door, and he even made his steps heavier as he left.

She didn't ask him to turn it off, Murong Bai thought to himself with a clear conscience.

He went to the sofa and lay down, holding a pillow in his arms, unable to sleep. There was no blanket, and he felt a little cold.

He stood up and walked to the study, where he took out a small blanket, which he used to cover himself with during his lunch break when he was tired from work.

Back on the sofa, I covered myself with a small blanket and went to sleep, thinking that something was better than nothing.

Murong Bai thought to himself, feeling frustrated, and glared at Qiao Chu's room, wondering if ghosts even need to sleep.

But he just came out of the room and is now lying on the sofa, so how come nothing has happened?

Although he had put away all the things in the house that could cause accidents, he might still have accidentally bumped into something by now, given the usual circumstances.

Murong Bai was very puzzled. He was born unlucky and often bumped into things at home, leaving him covered in bruises.

Could it be related to this female ghost? And she said she had to listen to her, but I don't know what she's supposed to do.

It was already very late, and Murong Bai was lost in thought. He drifted off to sleep.

Qiao Chu was in her room. She glanced at the open door, smiled, waved it closed, and turned off the light.

"Host, you're so naughty!" Xiao Qi said.

"What's wrong with me? Do you want to come out and listen to me too? I'll definitely take good care of you!" Qiao Chu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi immediately backed down and shook her head, saying, "Hehe, host, I misspoke. You saved her, so it's only right."

"Going to sleep!" Qiao Chu didn't argue with it.

"Okay, okay, but why did you come to live here, host?" Xiao Qi asked in confusion.

Qiao Chu said with her eyes closed, "Didn't you notice something different about him?"

"Really? Let me see!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi used the system's scanning function to scan Murong Bai's entire body.

Finally concluding, Xiao Qi said, "Host, this guy attracts ghosts, and he also has a bad luck constitution!"

"Yeah, I'll just treat it as a bit of fun, and he can cook for me too," Qiao Chu said.

Xiao Qi teased, "Host, you're just attracted to his good looks, aren't you? A handsome young man, tsk tsk!"

"Shut up and go to sleep!" Qiao Chu ignored it. She smelled the laundry detergent and freshly dried scent on the quilt and fell asleep.

Now I can eat and sleep normally, just like a normal person.

Xiao Qi pouted and muttered, "The host is so mean!"

Qiao Chu unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, and Xiao Qi quickly jumped aside to dodge it, saying, "Host, you actually attacked me!"

"It's just a spell that prevents you from speaking, what are you afraid of?"

"Hmph, I can be quiet, but I want to go to your space and eat your delicious food, and you have to make it up to me!" Xiao Qi demanded.

Qiao Chu waved her hand: "Go ahead, eat whatever you want!"

Xiao Qi instantly beamed with joy and happily entered the host space, taking a little here and a little there. After eating and drinking her fill, she even took some with her.

The next day, as the sun streamed into the room through the window, Murong Bai woke up, stared at the ceiling for a while, and then remembered what had happened the night before.

He sat up abruptly, two strands of hair sticking up on his head. He looked a little dazed and silly.

"You're awake?" Qiao Chu's voice came, instantly waking Murong Bai up.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qiao Chu standing against the wall, smiling at him.

Before he knew it, he blurted out what was on his mind: "You haven't left yet?"

"How could I leave? Hurry up and cook dinner, you actually slept until the afternoon!" Qiao Chu said with disdain, turning around and going back to her room.

Murong Bai felt a little embarrassed, but then his expression turned to surprise. How could he have slept for so long? He usually doesn't sleep well at all.
