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

In order to find out about the Xuanqing Temple, Ling Yue specifically sought out Su Shiming for information.

It turned out that this guy didn't know much about their organization at all; he only knew how to learn skills from his master and then catch ghosts.

I don't care about anything else.

It seems the only way is to find out from that person.

"Red Hair, mix the most expensive drink in our shop later, and pack it up. I need it later."

Su Shiming looked at Ling Yue as if she were an alien.

This is the first time I've ever heard of taking away cocktails, especially the most expensive one. Isn't that a waste?

Is the taste the best?

"W-what's wrong? Is it that we can't pack it up? Then don't pack it up, just pack it with the wine glasses and I'll deliver it to the person. It's not far."

"Okay, boss."

Ling Yue took the wine that Su Shiming had mixed and headed straight for the cordyceps shop.

I went straight to the cashier as soon as I entered and opened the cocktail.

"Grandmaster, come and try our shop's signature dish. We've been open for so many days, but we haven't seen you come to patronize us."

As expected, a head suddenly appeared on the recliner under the cashier.

"I'm an old man, I don't like going to those crowded places. So, what's the matter?"

"Tch, can't I come to visit you if there's nothing else to do? Look at your shop, there are hardly any people there. How can you make enough money to cover the rent for this expensive space?"

"I don't pay rent for this shop, didn't your master tell you that?"

"Oh my god! What is this stuff? It tastes like horse piss!"

"Take it, take it!"

Zhang Weiyi almost vomited.

"It's not that exaggerated. You have to savor it slowly. Thank you for supporting my business."

Zhang Weiyi glanced away as Ling Yue thanked him, her eyes darting away.

He muttered to himself, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ling Yue smiled and didn't say anything more.

"If you don't like alcohol, why don't you try some of my tea? Let me see what good teas you have here."

As Ling Yue spoke, she walked to the tea table inside the shop.

Zhang Weiyi could tell from this that the girl really had something to say to him.

He got up and slowly walked to the solid wood chair next to the tea table and sat down.

"Then I'll give it a try."

"My dad and Grandpa Jing both praised my tea-making skills, saying it was delicious. I'm really good at it."

Zhang Weiyi glanced at Ling Yue a couple more times while tasting the food.

"Have you and that Jing family boy already...?"

He coughed halfway through his sentence.

Ling Yue's face instantly turned red. Seriously? Is this old man really that amazing?

Can you see this?

"Just say it, what is it? Stop beating around the bush."

"Thank you so much for introducing this business to me. However, this deal has led to a series of problems, which I've discovered are related to Xuanqing Temple."

As Ling Yue spoke, she licked Zhang Weiyi's tea.

"Grandmaster, what exactly is the background of this Xuanqing Temple?"

"After these few encounters, I've realized that the things they do are truly despicable, so why do they still operate under the name of the Taoist Association?"

"Shouldn't people like them have been expelled long ago?"

"It can't be explained in just a few words. In this world, everyone is blinded by profit and only cares about money. Xuanqing Temple is just trying to make quick money by skirting the law. Neither the Yin nor Yang realms can do anything about them."

"Xiaoyue, you'd better not get involved in their affairs. You have no way to fight them right now. You need to learn to protect yourself. Only when you are strong enough can you change the rules of this world."

Seeing that Zhang Weiyi didn't want to reveal too much, Ling Yue didn't linger.

On the way back, she felt that Old Zhang had said something very true: she had to be strong enough to stand up to them; before that, she probably couldn't even protect herself.

However, she would not let Zhenyangzi off the hook. Wang Yuanyuan, who had suffered so much in this life, was finally able to have a better fate in the next life, and all she needed to do was help her soul pass on.

But that heartless bastard viciously destroyed Wang Yuanyuan's soul...

Everything just vanished like that...

Ling Yue couldn't help but tear up at the thought of Wang Yuanyuan's soul being scattered.

She looked up at the sky.

Yuanyuan, don't worry, I will protect your son no matter what.

I'm sorry... If I had taken that blow, would the outcome have been different...?

The ringing of the phone interrupted Ling Yue's thoughts.

It's Jing Yucheng.

"Baby, turn around."

Ling Yue, holding her phone, turned around and saw Jing Yucheng standing not far away.

In the cold wind, the hem of his coat was blown up, but the smile on his face was warm.

I've been seeing him smile like that a lot lately.

Seeing his outstretched arms, Ling Yue ran over and hugged him.

"How did you come?"

"miss you."

Ling Yue suddenly realized that the question she asked was a bit stupid; people in love really do have questionable IQs.

Jing Yucheng took out an exquisite box from his coat pocket. Ling Yue thought it contained some kind of jewelry, but when she opened it, she found it was handmade chocolates.

There were four in one small box.

"Remember to eat it every day."

Ling Yue nodded happily. Did he know she had low blood sugar?

The two walked hand in hand toward the ghostly world.

Jing Yucheng didn't go in; it seemed he came to see her because he missed her.

He only left after watching Ling Yue enter the Ghostly Realm.

Xiao Jia then emerged from the shadows. "Boss, are you really sure?"

"Well, we originally planned to keep to ourselves, but they messed with the wrong people."

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

*

The Ghostly Human World had far fewer guests today, and everyone was suddenly finding themselves with a lot of free time, which felt a bit strange.

"Sister-in-law, wasn't that my cousin at the door just now?"

"Are you two living together?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue blushed. "Really? Does Su Shiming know something?"

How long has it been since their absurd one-night stand became public knowledge?

Just as Ling Yue was wondering how to answer, Li Sijun walked over with the wine list and slumped it onto the bar.

"I don't know what's going on today, but there are so many fewer customers all of a sudden. It feels very abnormal. Should we do something about promotion or something?"

"Take it easy, Sister Jun. It's impossible for the restaurant to always be packed. When there are fewer people, everyone can take a break."

"Ha, our boss is really laid-back. Can we leave early when there are fewer people?"

The original intention really does find its way into every opportunity.

"Has Chu Xin gotten a girlfriend recently? Why is he always thinking about leaving get off work? Are you going on a date?"

The group chatted amongst themselves, oblivious to the wind chimes ringing at the door.

Then a hearty laugh came from behind, "Why are there so few people today? Just a handful?"
