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

"There's nothing wrong with that. I haven't finished showering yet. Shall we shower together?" Qiao Chu said with a smile, putting her arm around his neck.

From Murong Bai's perspective, he could see that she was only wrapped in a bath towel, revealing her entire front. The towel was loosely wrapped and looked like it might fall off at any moment.

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and his eyes deepened: "Okay, I happen to be a little hot too."

After saying that, he reached out and picked her up, walking towards the bathroom. Qiao Chu reached out and unbuttoned his clothes.

*

The sound of water in the bathroom never stopped, and there were other noises mixed in.

Three hours later, Qiao Chu was lazily resting on the bed when Murong Bai came in from outside, carrying food and placing it on the table.

Seeing Qiao Chu's languid appearance, he smiled and walked over: "Want something to eat?"

"Mm," Qiao Chu said casually. Murong Bai stepped forward, picked her up, and put her on the stool.

After the two finished eating, they rested for a while. Murong Bai went to the shop, while Qiao Chu went straight to sleep.

The shop usually doesn't close that early, so Murong Bai goes back to help and then has to lock the door in the end.

*

That evening, Qiao Chu didn't go to the shop during the day and was waiting at home for Murong Bai to return.

She was reading a novel on her phone when suddenly the lights in the room started flickering.

A ghostly figure emerged from the wall. Qiao Chu didn't even look up and asked, "What brings you to my territory?"

The ghost trembled slightly, but mustered its courage and said, "Yes, a vengeful ghost sent me to deliver a message, asking you to go and save her. She said her name is Ye Ran."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Chu looked up at the ghost. It was a young ghost, who must have died of illness. Its face was sallow, and its dark circles were like a panda's.

"What else did she say?"

Feeling Qiao Chu's gaze on him, the little ghost was a little scared: "She, she said you must go and save her, because she was being attacked by ghost hunters at the time."

"Where?" Qiao Chu thought for a moment and then asked.

"In the park about two kilometers away."

"I know, let's go!"

The little devil breathed a sigh of relief; he wouldn't have dared to deliver the message if he hadn't been too afraid to offend him.

Qiao Chu stood up, and Xiao Qi asked, "Host, are you really going to save her?"

"Hmm, these ghost catchers are getting more and more skilled. They keep an eye on all the vengeful spirits every day. I'll go and see what they're up to."

"Then be careful, host. Don't expose yourself. Being targeted is not a problem, even if you're not afraid of it."

"I understand." Thinking that Murong Bai would be back soon, Qiao Chu sent him a message on her phone and then left.

As soon as I arrived in the park, I heard a noise coming from afar.

Qiao Chu changed into a black dress, then took out a cloak and put it on, along with a black veil.

She flashed to the scene of the fight and saw four or five people besieging Ye Ran, a ghost.

Three of them were people I had met before who had visited my home.

I hadn't seen the others before, and there was also an old man with a white beard who looked quite knowledgeable.

They all held magical implements, which were harmful to ghosts.

Ye Ran was already injured and didn't look like he could hold on for much longer.

Just as the white-bearded old man threw a net shimmering with golden light at Ye Ran, Qiao Chu made his move.

She threw a smoke bomb on the ground, darted over, grabbed Ye Ran, and left the spot while the smoke was still thick.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Qiao Chu made a hand seal, concealing their presence.

Ye Ran smiled and said, "Qiao Chu, I knew you would come to save me."

"You're supposed to be a fast runner, how come you got caught by them today?" Qiao Chu asked.

Ye Ran looked aggrieved: "It's a long story, it's all because these ghost catchers are too cunning."

"I'll only save you once, consider it fate that we met." Qiao Chu said coldly.

"What? You can't be so heartless! How could you abandon me?" Ye Ran said sadly.

"Instead of wasting your time being sad, you'd be better off cultivating more and going out less, so you don't get caught again."

At this point, Ye Ran wilted: "I understand. I don't need you to save me, since I'm also a vengeful ghost. I need to find a place to cultivate in seclusion."

"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

"Hey wait!"

Qiao Chu paused in her tracks: "Is there anything else?"

"Thank you for saving me today," Ye Ran said with a smile.

"Mm." Qiao Chu nodded and then disappeared from the spot.

"Still the same sharp tongue but soft heart," Ye Ran said with a smile, looking at the spot where she had just left.

Then, she touched her wound and cried out in pain, "Ouch, those damned ghost catchers! I need to go back and work hard to cultivate!"

When Qiao Chu returned home, she saw Murong Bai sitting in the living room. Hearing the noise, he stood up, walked over, and took her hand.

"Jojo, are you okay?"

"It's okay, were you waiting for me?" Qiao Chu stepped forward and pulled him back to sit down.

Murong Bai nodded: "Yes, I was worried about you after seeing your message."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Qiao Chu smiled and squeezed his hand.

"So what did you go out to do?" Murong Bai only received her message that she had something to do, but he didn't know what she was doing.

"Save the ghost, you've seen it before."

Murong Bai thought for a moment and then asked, "The female ghost who came to our house last time?"

"Mm." Qiao Chu nodded.

Murong asked curiously, "What happened to her? Did you save her?"

"They were surrounded by those who were exorcising ghosts, but they saved them."

"Oh, so your identity hasn't been exposed, right?" Murong Bai was mainly worried about Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu shook her head and said, "No, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Murong Bai felt relieved.

After that, the two continued to live a simple and beautiful life.

*

Time flies, and decades have passed. Qiao Chu stayed with Murong Bai until he passed away.

Finally, after completing her mission of dying of old age, she left this world.

Back in the system space, Zhong Ning said, "Xiao Qi!"

"Host has arrived, settle the account immediately," Xiao Qi said hurriedly.

Zhong Ning looked at his personal panel and said, "Xiao Qi, my cultivation level is still in the Tribulation Transcending stage in both worlds."

“Host, you should be able to level up when you return from the next world,” Xiao Qi said.

"Hmm, I reckon it's about time!"

"Host, do you want to rest?"

Zhong Ning thought for a moment and said, "No, let's go directly to the next world."

"Then, host, will you choose cards?"

"Just pick any one for me, let's go!" Zhong Ning felt that it didn't matter which world they went to.

"Alright, host," Xiao Qi said with a smile.
