After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.

Although the process was tortuous, Zhang's mother's soul was eventually successfully released from suffering.

Lingyue told Seventeen about Zhang's mother's last wish.

Seventeen's heterochromatic eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were moist, making her look even more alluring.

This was the first time Ling Yue had successfully helped a deceased soul pass on almost entirely through her own efforts.

Clicking on the talisman, I saw that my merit points had increased by 10, bringing my total to 60.

Although I only have 10 merits, I feel as happy as if I had received 100 merits.

Unexpectedly, he used Water Release.

Just as he was about to thank his master for the secret manual, he looked up and found that Jia Zhengjing's face was very ugly.

Then, without warning, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which was black in color!

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Yue quickly grabbed some tissues and stepped forward to help wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

As if this was expected, Jia Zhengjing took the tissue and wiped her face haphazardly a couple of times.

“A vicious person like Lu Haotian would do such a despicable thing. Don’t worry, this little bit of poison won’t affect me.”

"But I need to go into seclusion to detoxify and recuperate beforehand. That book has been passed down for generations, and only the two of us can understand its contents. It's truly fate. Xiaoyue, during the time I'm away, you must practice diligently. You've already learned the Water Escape technique from the Five Elements Escape Techniques, and you've also learned the Metal Escape, Wood Escape, Fire Escape, and Earth Escape techniques. You must master them as soon as possible."

Jia Zhengjing took a deep breath, her brows furrowed, and continued with concern, "Xuanqing Temple is becoming increasingly brazen. I'm afraid they're going to target our Baiyun Temple..."

Chu Xin was furious: "I won't let them get away with this before they even make a move. Stabbing them in the back when they can't win is truly despicable!"

"Remember to stay true to your original aspirations and never act impulsively. If anything happens, go and discuss it with your senior brother."

"And you, Xiaoyue, I'm afraid they won't let it go after you stole their ghosts this time. You must be careful."

"Don't worry, Master. With Lu Boqing here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Besides, she's already died once, so what's there to be afraid of? It's just another death.

Jia Zhengjing hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

He finally shook his head and went into seclusion.

……

Two days later is Zhang's mother's funeral.

Many people came to see her off. Ling Yue looked at the dense crowd of people dressed in black, all of whom were filled with grief.

It's possible that many of the children were wealthy and powerful, hence the high-profile funeral.

This is a person who has achieved perfect merit.

Ling Yue couldn't help but feel moved. Those who are alive should do more good deeds. It really is true that the old saying goes: accumulate virtue and do good deeds.

If you know how to give to them, good fortune will naturally come your way.

After seeing Zhang's mother off, Seventeen stayed by Ling Yue's side without leaving her side.

"Since you want to fulfill Zhang Mama's wish, then I definitely have to follow you until I get married!"

Ling Yue was both amused and exasperated. "Little sister, you're not even twenty yet."

Anyway, Ghostly World is opening in just one more day.

The funeral was over, and the crowd slowly dispersed.

But then an uninvited guest arrived.

"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here."

Seventeen seemed a little excited when she saw Su Shiming. After all, he was a member of Xuanqing Temple. Was he going to cause trouble again?

"I know I'm not welcome, but don't worry. Someone with your kind of merit, Zhang Mama, can directly enter the cycle of reincarnation. I'm here to find Ling Yue."

Seventeen, still somewhat skeptical, made way for him.

"Sister-in-law, are you opening the day after tomorrow?"

Ling Yue looked at Su Shiming in a black suit paired with his red buzz cut and didn't find it out of place at all.

He continued talking to me as if nothing had happened.

It's time to have a serious talk with him. He's going to be someone I work with in the future, so he can't be some kind of "spy" from Xuanqing Temple, right?

"Is there something wrong tonight?"

"What? You want to go on a date with me? My sister-in-law asked me out, of course I can't refuse!"

Looking at his nonchalant attitude, I wonder if he's just wasting his breath.

Tough, tough.

"See you at 8 PM, Ghostly Human World."

I don't expect to persuade someone to change their ways in one go, but at least I can test them to see what they're really like.

Ling Yue thought of a wingman—Jing Yucheng.

Ling Yue timed her call to Jing Yucheng perfectly; it was exactly 5 PM, the time when he would get off work.

To my surprise, the other party answered the phone immediately.

Did he take the wrong medicine? Before, when I called him, either no one answered or he hung up immediately.

"Wow, that's really something. You answered the phone right away. Were you missing me and were you just about to call me?"

Since she made up her mind, she transformed into a clingy little devil, hoping to make Jing Yucheng back down.

This is how Ling Yue started talking to him.

"Yes."

She was still thinking of making him feel disgusted, but those two words made Ling Yue feel embarrassed.

"Ahem, well, what do you want to call me about?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't call first?"

This person is a total chat killer!

Seeing that Ling Yue didn't speak, Jing Yucheng honestly replied, "A date."

"We haven't had a date for several days."

Ling Yue suddenly realized that she seemed to have dug a hole for herself.

"Are you off work? Should I come pick you up?"

"it is good."

OK, that's a great assist.

Standing once again beneath the Jing Group building, gazing up at it, I felt a chilling aura lingering around me.

Last time I came, Sweetheart couldn't get in.

Speaking of Sweetheart, when is Lady Li Siqi going to return Sweetheart to her?

Just as she was about to call Jing Yucheng, she was surprised to find a hand wrapped around her shoulder.

Ling Yue was startled and wanted to punch someone.

But his body was restrained by someone else; this person was incredibly strong!

"Don't be so sensitive, sister-in-law. Are you here to see Ah Cheng?"

It is Jingyan.

For some reason, Ling Yue could sense that his aura was extremely cold and sinister, unlike the last time she saw him.

Ling Yue forced a calm smile and replied, "Yes, I'm here to pick him up for our date."

"Ah Cheng is really lucky. He has everything he wants, and even his fiancée is so understanding. I really can't be envious."

As soon as Jing Yan finished speaking, he heard Jing Yucheng calling him.

"Xiaoyue, you're here."

Ling Yue silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Jing Yan only let go of Ling Yue's shoulder when he saw Jing Yucheng approaching.

Smiling, she greeted Jing Yucheng, "Acheng, your wife is here. How can you keep a lady waiting? Why didn't you send someone to entertain her?"

"let's go."

Jing Yucheng didn't even glance at him.

He pulled Ling Yue along as they walked past him.

Out of politeness, Ling Yue greeted him, "Goodbye, big brother."

Even inside the car, Jing Yucheng didn't let go of Ling Yue's hand; he held it very tightly.

"Jing Yucheng, you're hurting me, let go now."

Jing Yucheng loosened his grip slightly, but still held on tightly, not letting go.

"I remember telling you before to stay away from Jingyan."

"He suddenly put his arm around my shoulder, how could I..."

Ling Yue stopped speaking before she could finish her rebuttal.

Because she saw that Jing Yucheng's face was very pale, as if he wanted to devour someone...

"Jing Yucheng?"

Jing Yucheng only withdrew his murderous aura when he heard Ling Yue call him.

"It's alright, shall we go eat first?"

Jing Yucheng raised his hand and patted Ling Yue's head, revealing a smile.

Why was that smile so doting? Ling Yue didn't dare to think too much about it and lowered her head, but her face inexplicably turned red.
