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

The phrase "original aspiration" hits the nail on the head.

A ghost that "brings havoc to the world" certainly can't be allowed to run rampant here any longer...

Chu Xin and Su Shiming apologized to the painted-skin ghost together. Afterwards, the two felt increasingly awkward. How could someone who catches ghosts apologize to a ghost?

Isn't that utter nonsense?

If people in the industry knew this, they'd probably laugh their heads off.

The painted-skin ghost was originally a cheerful ghost; he waved his hand and tried to turn around and leave.

"Wait a moment."

Upon hearing Ling Yue's voice, the painted-skin ghost instantly became alert. Was he still going to be captured?

"Don't misunderstand, it's fate that we met. Can we talk about why you don't enter the cycle of reincarnation and instead choose to be a lonely ghost in the mortal world?"

Seeing the sincerity in Ling Yue's eyes, she smiled openly.

"Lonely ghosts... Ha, who would want to be one? They're just here because they have some compelling reasons..."

The answer was exactly what Ling Yue had expected.

"Could you elaborate? After all, having more friends means having more ideas. If there's a problem, let's solve it together."

The painted-skin demon sneered, "Ha, just the few of you?"

Su Shiming instantly bristled, "Who do you think you are!"

"Let me guess, you're going out to find another person who needs you, someone who will nourish you with their essence and blood every day, so that you can survive in the mortal world."

The Painted Skin Demon's tone was clearly displeased, "What? Are you going to expose me?"

"How could that be? We're not the kind of people who would eliminate you at the drop of a hat. I think you've been lingering in the mortal realm only to fulfill the last wish you didn't get to before you died, right? Drinking human essence must have been quite painful for you. In that case, why not resolve your last wish as soon as possible?"

"As the saying goes, you have to see for yourself to judge a mule or a horse. You haven't even seen it yet, so how can you make such subjective judgments?"

Seeing how much the Painted Skin Ghost was willing to budge, Ling Yue continued to increase her stakes.

"Don't worry, we're just doing business, we're not involved in any karma."

The last dose of medicine had an immediate and remarkable effect.

"Hahahaha, that's interesting. You have a truly amazing way of speaking, woman."

"make a deal!"

"I'm giving you one day, or 24 hours, to prepare. Once it's done, I'll give you what you want."

This painted-skin ghost really suits Ling Yue's temperament. It's a pity she's a ghost, otherwise they could definitely become good friends.

"You ghost have been wandering the mortal realm for so long and haven't solved this problem, yet you expect us to solve it within 24 hours?"

Chu Xin couldn't help but complain after hearing her request.

Ling Yue tugged at Chu Xin's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.

Still greeting me with a smile, "Tell me your story and your needs?"

"Red Hair, could you please go to the lady next door and get some barbecue to go? We'll have it as a late-night snack. Remember to get a receipt so we can get reimbursed by Ningxia."

Su Shiming was actually quite curious about the story of the Painted Skin Ghost, so without saying a word, he went to the barbecue restaurant next door, ordered a set meal, and told the waiter to grill it and bring it over.

When I returned, the Painted Skin Demon had already begun.

"I can't remember which year it was, but it seems to have been when I first became the Painted Skin Ghost. Actually, I wasn't very clear about my own identity. Hehe, with a faceless head like mine, both humans and ghosts would stay away. When I found out that I could possess a human body, I thought it was quite fun."

"The opportunity for possession was that I saw a girl standing on the top floor of the school, about to commit suicide. I don't know why, she was crying very sadly, and then laughing loudly. Her mood was unpredictable. Although I know that people have seven emotions and six desires and it is normal for their expressions to change, the girl's emotions fluctuated a lot in just one or two minutes."

"She muttered to herself, 'Why do I live in this terrible world?' As she spoke, she was about to jump down. In my panic, I ran to her side, perhaps to help her up. But as soon as I touched her hand, I ended up clinging to her body."

"Of course I didn't jump down. During the time I was possessed, I felt pretty good. I could live freely in the sunlight and freely enjoy the delicacies of this world. This is something that so many ghosts dream of!"

"Of course, I also understand why this young girl jumped off the building. She had always been a victim of school bullying. Those girls took pleasure in bullying her every day. Punching and kicking her was commonplace, and they would occasionally slap her. This girl endured it all to avoid causing trouble for her parents. The last straw that broke the camel's back was probably that those devils found out that this girl had a crush on their student council president, who was someone everyone liked."

"So they read her diary aloud in the school's broadcasting room..."

"After I possessed them, they still tried to punch and kick me. Ha, I've never been bullied like this in my life. I took them all down and made them obedient!"

"The whole school knows that I have a crush on the student council president, and of course, he knows it too."

"That boy is so handsome! Especially his smile, it can melt your heart..."

"Then every time I had time after class, after school, or during meals, I would go to see him. I wouldn't say I went to see him, I just wanted to see him from afar. Just looking at him from a distance made me feel so happy."

Ling Yue: Uh, I really didn't realize that this painted-skin ghost was also a pure-love warrior!

Original intention: seconded

Su Shiming: Seconded

"Day after day, I learned that he was going to memorize English words under the big tree on the school playground at this time. I followed him to the playground and watched him from a distance. Unexpectedly, he walked right up to me."

"He immediately asked me if I wanted to pursue him. I was stunned. I hadn't really thought about pursuing him. I just felt happy to be able to see him."

"When he saw me standing there dumbfounded, he actually laughed. It was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. I wished time could stand still..."

Ling Yue, Chu Xin, and Su Shiming were resting their chins on their hands, looking at the Painted Skin Ghost with starry eyes, listening attentively to her narration as if they were experiencing it firsthand. This dog food is so damn sweet!

"He told me not to chase after him, that I was right in front of him."

"Then he patted my head, and the time that followed was the best time of my life as a ghost. We held hands and snuggled together every day, and we were happy every single day. So this is what being in love feels like, it's indescribable..."

"My dream shattered when my teacher and his mother came to me. They basically said that I had affected his studies and life, and that I was not good enough for him. I laughed when I heard that. You foolish humans, do you even know what life is?"

"I never really cared about them, but people around me are talking about it, and his grades are visibly declining. Maybe I'm really being selfish? I know I can't be attached to this girl forever..."

"Every dream must eventually end."

"Later, I made up my mind to leave..."

"Later, I kept possessing the bodies of people who wanted to commit suicide, experiencing different lives. That period was the most beautiful time..."

"When I went to look for him again, he was gone, and I couldn't find the girl either..."

"This has become my only regret."

"My request is simple: find that boy and apologize to him as the girl."

Ling Yue felt a pang of regret after hearing the story of the Painted Skin Ghost.

Finding someone you know shouldn't be too difficult, right?

What's easy for humans, isn't it simple for a ghost like her?

But why hasn't she found it after searching for so long?

"Didn't you ever suspect that they were all dead? No longer in the mortal realm?"

"I've thought about it, but if I go to the underworld and don't find it, I'm afraid I'll never be able to return to the world of the living..."

"Besides, in the mortal realm, I have to constantly take on orders to survive, which is simply too much for me..."

Ling Yue thought what she said made a lot of sense.

"Do you know the birth date and time of that girl or your first boyfriend?"

"No……"

That makes sense, who in their right mind would remember that?

Sigh, if tracking abilities could be used, I could find him quickly, whether he's in the underworld or the mortal realm.

This looks like things are going to get complicated...

Just as Ling Yue was at her wit's end, she heard Lu Boqing's voice in her ear!
