Several years have passed since the plot to murder Mu Dongmei. At first, Mu Dazhuang was also terrified, fearing that Mu Shuan would not be able to hold back and would reveal it.

Mu Dazhuang even wanted Gouzi to kill Mu Shuan several times, but Gouzi refused. Firstly, everyone knew that the three of them went out together, and if Mu Shuan were suddenly killed, it would arouse suspicion.

Furthermore, Mu Shuan rarely left the village after that. Although he would occasionally help Mu Chunhua's family, he never dared to tell them the truth.

Over time, Mu Dazhuang gradually forgot about the incident.

Mu Dazhuang had heard his father, Mu Liang, say that Mu Chunhua's ancestors had produced a powerful figure who could fly and disappear into the earth, a person like a god.

But he died suddenly for some unknown reason, and his amazing skills were not passed down. He only taught some medical techniques to his descendants.

However, Mu Liang knew that the person had actually left behind other inheritances, but they could only be opened by the willing consent of his descendants.

What Mu Dazhuang's family wanted was that treasure containing a legacy.

That is why Mu Dazhuang plotted to kill Mu Dongmei.

With a "whoosh," a gust of wind suddenly blew the window open.

Mu Dazhuang rushed over and hurriedly closed the window.

He felt the biting cold wind, which sent a shiver down his spine.

The weather is warm this season, but the wind is colder than in the dead of winter; something is definitely wrong.

"Mu Dazhuang!"

"Give me back my life...give me back my life!"

Mu Dazhuang's premonition was confirmed, as a mournful voice slowly drifted in.

The windows rattled again in the wind, and the oil lamp inside flickered.

"Who...who's playing tricks?"

Mu Dazhuang pulled out the hunting knife from the table, pointed at the window and cursed, but his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

But at that moment, the flame of the oil lamp gradually changed color, no longer a dazzling bright yellow, and the whole room seemed to dim considerably, with everything around turning into a ghostly green.

A figure covered in mud and with a pale face appeared in the house. He stared wide-eyed at Mu Dazhuang and smiled coldly.

Mu Dazhuang was so frightened that he dropped his knife and kept backing away until he reached the bedside.

"Mu... Dongmei, I didn't mean to kill you! It was all Gouzi's doing, yes, it was all Gouzi's idea. He's dead now too. Can you let me go? I promise I'll never bully Chunhua again. If anyone dares to bully her, I'll be the first to not let them get away with it!"

The ghostly figure that Mu Dongmei had transformed into did not speak, but only sneered.

Mu Dazhuang immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying:

"Brother Dongmei, I had no choice. My... my dad, yes, it's all that old man's fault. He told me I had to get your family's treasure, so I was bewitched and went to harm you!"

"Hmph, there's not a single good person in your family. Once I deal with you, none of you will escape!"

With a flash of light, Mu Dazhuang was lifted up and thrown onto the bed.

Mu Dazhuang tried his best to get up, but found that his whole body was limp and he couldn't muster any strength.

On the other side, Mu Dongmei smiled gently, crossed her hands together, and in a moment transformed into something like a white cloth.

Seeing this familiar scene, Mu Dazhuang knew that the other party wanted to suffocate him in the same way, and he repeatedly begged for mercy:

"Brother Dongmei, don't kill me, don't kill me! Just spare my life, and I'll agree to any condition you ask for."

Mu Dongmei ignored her and slowly covered Mu Dazhuang's face with the "cloth".

"Waaah...waaah..." Mu Dazhuang struggled incessantly, but to no avail.

Just then, the window was suddenly opened, a white figure darted in, and then the eerie green slowly faded, and the whole room gradually brightened up.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to catch you in the act. It really was a vengeful ghost."

Mu Dongmei stopped what he was doing. In his ghostly state, his senses were exceptionally sharp, and he immediately realized that the kitten that had suddenly jumped in was not easy to deal with.

Ignoring Mu Dazhuang, who was panting heavily, Mu Dongmei slowly turned around.

"Are you... a demon? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Seeing that the ghost's body was solid, the kitten figured it must be quite powerful. Moreover, it had never fought against such a ghost before, so it did not act rashly.

It transformed instantly, its body growing larger and revealing its true form as a white tiger, in order to intimidate its opponent.

"If it were anywhere else, I wouldn't bother with it, but my elder brother is recuperating here, so I can't let you kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

"Indiscriminate killing? That's laughable. Do you know how these people harmed me back then? If I hadn't been resentful and filled with bitterness, how could I have ended up like this?"

Mu Dazhuang finally caught his breath, but when he saw a large white tiger in the house, he was startled again.

Hearing the conversation between Mu Dongmei and the white tiger, and knowing that it was the tiger that had saved him, he disregarded the fact that the white tiger was a demon and quickly said:

"Great Immortal, please don't listen to his nonsense. I have always been honest and law-abiding, and have never harmed anyone. Please, Great Immortal, kill this evil spirit. Our entire village will be grateful to you."

The white tiger's lips twitched involuntarily, and it said with a strange expression:

"Whether he's an evil spirit or not is another matter, but you, you tried to murder my older brother a few days ago, you're hardly a good person, are you?"

Mu Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly:

"Your older brother? That...outsider?"

The white tiger nodded and said with a cold laugh:

"That's right. My brother is such a big shot that he couldn't be bothered to bother with you. But karma has caught up with him, and that guy actually died first. It's a good thing he got off easy."

Mu Dazhuang felt uneasy. He never expected that the outsider was so powerful that even the demons called him brother. It seemed that he had really messed up this time.

Mu Dongmei laughed and said viciously, "Mu Dazhuang, you really haven't changed your ways! You even dare to harm people again. You deserve to die!"

As she spoke, Mu Dongmei was about to make another move.

"Wait!" the great white tiger hurriedly stopped him.

"You wicked creature! I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Since you know he's no good, why are you still protecting him? If that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Mu Dongmei's expression changed, her pale eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and she attacked the white tiger directly.

"No, I..."

The white tiger was about to explain, but seeing Mu Dongmei charging straight at him, it also felt a surge of anger and decided to meet her head-on.

However, considering the cramped space, if a fight were to break out here, Mu Dazhuang might be caught in the crossfire and die. Although it also felt that the guy deserved to die, its older brother hadn't said he wanted him dead, so it couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Especially given Mu Dongmei's current unstable state, there's a high possibility she might harm innocent people, which would be difficult to explain to Zheng Zhuang.

Faced with Mu Dongmei's attack, it immediately shrank back, transformed into a kitten again, and jumped out of the window.

As expected, Mu Dongmei's ghost ignored Mu Dazhuang and chased after him.

The kitten originally planned to lure the evil spirit to Mu Chunhua's place so it could ask its older brother how to deal with it.

But then she thought, if she couldn't even handle such a small matter, her elder brother would look down on her, and if she hurt Mu Chunhua, it would be even worse.

Having made up her mind, the kitten led Mu Dongmei out of the village.

Once outside the village, the kitten, seeing no one around, transformed back into its original form.

Mu Dongmei's eyes were still bloodshot and she was delirious, only wanting to kill this troublesome tiger demon.

"Hey, I didn't say I had to stop you, but we need to ask my older brother about this," the white tiger said while dodging.

It had already sensed that although this ghost was somewhat supernatural, its cultivation level was actually not high, and it was no match for it.

Little did it know that Mu Dongmei's transformation into such a ghost was also due to a series of coincidences.

The swamp where Mu Dongmei was murdered was originally formed because a fragment of a demonic artifact fell there.

That magical artifact was capable of collecting all kinds of resentment. When Mu Dongmei was dying, her resentment was extremely strong, and she gradually merged with the artifact.

Although the magic weapon was strange, it was still broken. Even though it helped him condense the Ghost Chaser, his cultivation could not be accelerated.

As soon as Mu Dongmei was able to move, she couldn't wait to return to the village to take revenge.

However, due to his short cultivation time and lack of a complete inheritance, he was unable to use the methods of a true ghost and could only act on instinct.

The white tiger realized this and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. If this ghost was difficult to deal with, it would not be able to hold back.

Although the ghost had killed two people, it had its reasons and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. After learning the cause and effect of the matter, it actually felt some sympathy for the ghost.

After fighting for a while, Mu Dongmei probably felt that she couldn't do anything to her opponent, or perhaps she had used up a lot of energy, and her whole body became a little weak, but she also became a little more clear-headed.

"Why..." Mu Dongmei stopped moving.

The white tiger sighed and said:

“I know you have resentment in your heart, and I didn’t intend to stop you from taking revenge. However, I promised my brother that I would not let you kill innocent people indiscriminately. Of course, my brother is not unreasonable. As long as you do not hurt others, I will go back and explain your situation to my brother. Then no one will stop you.”

Mu Dongmei pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm originally from this village, I won't harm anyone without reason, let him live a few more days!"

The white tiger nodded: "That's good. I originally wanted to take you to see my elder brother, but I think I'll pass. Although my elder brother is easy to talk to, his sword is another matter. With your current cultivation level, you could be killed in a moment of carelessness!"

Mu Dongmei cupped her hands in apology and said, "I was very rude just now, please don't take it to heart, Brother Hu!"

Seeing that Mu Dongmei was so sensible, the white tiger secretly felt pleased and waved its paw, saying:

"It's alright, it's alright. With your cultivation level, you can't hurt me. However, this is the first time I've seen a ghost like you... Logically speaking, even if a vengeful ghost remembers things from his previous life, most of them are not in their right mind and can only act on instinct."

Mu Dongmei gave a bitter smile and said, "I don't know what happened. I died a few years ago. At that time, I was just very unwilling, but recently I somehow regained my senses and only had one thought in my mind, which was to kill those three people!"

"Well, perhaps my elder brother knows what's going on. I'll go back and report to him first. You just wait patiently and don't hurt anyone!"

After the white tiger finished speaking, it turned around and went into the village.
