Why are you trying to steal her destiny? She's the little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect!

A certain neighborhood.

This is Qin Yuhai's house in G City.

It's a new residential area, and the decoration and environment are quite nice.

Qin Yuhai lived on the top floor.

Both floors are large single-level apartments, and Qin Yuhai bought both.

"Uncle, your place is really big!" Xiao Jiu Jiu exclaimed, holding a wooden box in her hand.

Qin Yuhai chuckled: "It's alright. I don't like living in villa areas, so I bought a place here."

The two floors here together must be over a thousand square meters.

The location is spacious and comfortable, and there's even a private swimming pool on the rooftop—it's more than enough.

"Come on, follow me up."

After taking the private elevator upstairs, Qin Yuhai said, "Half of this room is my study, and the other half is the gym and swimming pool."

"Let's go to the study and see how to deal with this weird thing." Xiao Jiu Jiu followed behind, carrying the wooden box.

This box contains a portrait of the red-clad female ghost from before.

Qin Yuhai was holding a box of books, which might contain things that Xiao Jiujiu needed.

Xiao Jiujiu placed the wooden box on the table and withdrew his hand.

Holding the wooden box for a long time left her hands covered in a faint aura of yin energy, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"Xiaojiu, what's wrong?"

Qin Yuhai keenly noticed Xiao Jiujiu's conflicted expression.

Little Nine-Nine pouted: "This box is full of yin energy, which makes me feel uncomfortable. It feels cold when I hold it, and it's so unpleasant!"

"is it?"

Qin Yuhai raised an eyebrow and reached out to touch the box.

"I don't feel anything?" Qin Yuhai withdrew his hand, staring at his palm thoughtfully.

Rolling her eyes, Xiao Jiujiu said, "You're so annoying. Not only that, that scroll is also emanating a sinister aura."

"That wasn't the case before, was it?"

Qin Yuhai asked, puzzled.

Nodding, Xiao Jiujiu said with a troubled expression, "So that's the problem. Never mind, let's open it and see what's changed."

"Ah."

Little Jiu Jiu's beautiful eyes sparkled like stars.

With a stern face, she opened the box and threw it on the ground, placing the scroll on the desk.

As the scroll slowly unfurled, Qin Yuhai's face also turned serious.

On the scroll, the woman who was originally sitting alone in the high hall, far away, had moved forward in the painting.

Not only that, the woman's posture also changed.

She sat in the chair, her head, which had been drooping, now lifted slightly, her long hair covering half of her eyes, revealing a woman's pale face.

Her lips looked as if they were stained with blood, and above them was a single eye filled with resentment.

"hiss!"

Even Qin Yuhai, who had seen many big scenes and even faced murderers head-on, was startled by the female ghost in the painting.

The painting, which originally depicted a red candle, has now quietly transformed into a deep black candle.

"It looks alive, and its eyes are very similar to Ju-on's." Qin Yuhai admitted that he was a little scared.

It looks creepy.

The main thing is that the painting is too realistic, and there are changes within the painting.

Little Jiu Jiu didn't say anything, but placed her little hand on the painting.

Her hand slowly moved from the red candle, the wall, the table and chairs, to the place of the female ghost in the painting.

Aside from the chilling atmosphere, the painting didn't give her any sense of danger.

But that's precisely where things go wrong.

Xiao Jiujiu touched the female ghost's eyes again and said seriously, "I want to feel it again and see what kind of person this female ghost is."

"Ok?"

After touching it for a while, Xiao Jiu Jiu felt that something was wrong.

The eyes of the female ghost in my hand seem to be able to move.

Xiao Jiujiu tapped the female ghost in the painting: "Uncle, don't you think she's gotten a lot closer? Her eyes seem much bigger than before."

"Really? Let me take a closer look."

Qin Yuhai leaned closer for a look, then immediately jumped back: "It! It! It just moved! It got close!"

That one glance sent chills down his spine.

Those ghostly eyes clearly showed that they died with their eyes wide open, staring intently at Qin Yuhai.

"Go to hell!"

The female ghost in the painting suddenly became agitated, letting out a sharp scream and lunging closer, almost bursting out of the painting.

Xiao Jiujiu scoffed, "This is all you dare to mess with me? Hehe!"

She deftly pulled a talisman from her pocket and, without a word, stuck it onto the painting.

In the painting, a talisman was affixed to the woman's entire head amidst her terrified gaze: "Lightning strike!"

"Wait for Xiao Jiu!"

Before Qin Yuhai could speak, thunder, accompanied by Xiao Jiujiu's clap of thunder, began to strike the woman with a series of crackling sounds.

"This painting..."

"boom!"

Just as Qin Yuhai was about to lament that the painting would be destroyed, lightning and thunder suddenly struck the study.

Accompanied by thunder, the woman in the painting screams in agony.

It fell straight out of the painting.

“It’s a female ghost.” Xiao Jiu Jiu looked at the female ghost in front of her.

The female ghost sat on the ground in a disheveled state, black smoke billowing from her body, a talisman Xiao Jiu Jiu had given her stuck to her forehead: "Take it, take it away, ah..."

The female ghost begged for mercy pitifully.

Xiao Jiu Jiu then let out a soft snort: "Tell me, what exactly are you, and how did you end up in the painting?"

cowering on the ground, the female ghost begged for mercy, "Heavens, Celestial Master, please remove the talisman."

The talisman was stuck to her forehead like a tight band, preventing her from moving and exacerbating her pain.

"Please, please," the female ghost pleaded repeatedly, her voice hoarse.

He looked completely different from how he looked just now.

"How can I see it too?" Qin Yuhai pointed to his eyes and then to the female ghost in front of him.

Xiao Jiujiu explained, "She has cultivated and can already have a physical form. In addition, she is a person in the painting, so it's not surprising that she can be seen."

Each ghost has a different reason for becoming a ghost, and the conditions for innate cultivation will also differ.

"Then you'd better listen to me, or I can't guarantee what will happen to you~" Xiao Jiujiu slowly tore off the talisman from the female ghost's forehead and threw it on the ground.

The female ghost was startled and quickly continued to kowtow and beg for mercy: "I'll tell you everything! Thank you, Celestial Master."

Glancing at it, Xiao Jiujiu calmly clapped its hands: "If you had cooperated earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."

She sat down in the chair, and Qin Yuhai dragged a chair over and sat down next to her. The two of them looked at the female ghost together.

To be honest, their little darling is quite ruthless; the talismans he uses are very powerful.

"Meow~"

【explain! 】

The coal ball, which had been silent all along, suddenly bared its teeth at the female ghost.

The female ghost immediately became obedient and stopped all her furtive little actions.

"Sir, is there something you want me to say?"

The female ghost said pitifully, "I've been inside the box for a long time, and people take me out every now and then..."

"Listen, I don't want to hear any of that. I just want to know how much of your own life you still remember?" Xiao Jiujiu looked at the female ghost with a serious expression.

The female ghost swallowed non-existent saliva and weakly said, "I... I was murdered. I don't remember much."

"You definitely remember."

Xiao Jiu Jiu's dark eyes fixed on the female ghost.

Upon seeing Xiao Jiu's eyes, the female ghost suddenly felt a wave of fear.

"Don't lie, my talisman doesn't have eyes." Little Nine-Nine gave the female ghost a cute smile and obediently warned her.

The female ghost closed her eyes, her brows furrowed, as if she were recalling something painful.

Xiao Jiu Jiu remained silent, waiting for the female ghost's reply.

Suddenly, the female ghost opened her eyes and said earnestly, "I was originally the daughter of a hunter. Everyone in the entire Immortal Town knows that I am beautiful."

Xiao Jiujiu rested her chin on her hand and then carefully examined the female ghost in front of her.

It must be said that without her fierce and menacing expression, this female ghost is indeed very beautiful.

She has a classic oval face, only the size of a palm, with delicate eyebrows resembling distant mountains and exceptionally bright almond-shaped eyes.

Beneath her pert nose, her crimson lips trembled slightly, making her look like a pitiful and endearing little thing.

At this moment, however, her skin was deathly pale and bloodless; otherwise, she would have been quite a good-looking woman.

"It's beautiful, and then what?"

Xiao Jiujiu waited earnestly for the female ghost's answer.

The female ghost pursed her lips and said, "Later, a big shot came to town. He said he fell in love with me at first sight and sent his men to kidnap me."

At this point, the woman's expression was filled with hatred and disgust, as well as a sense of reluctance to speak.

Xiao Jiujiu thought for a moment and said, "Then he must have bullied you."

"emmm..."

Looking at the female ghost, Xiao Jiujiu said, "Don't be afraid of trouble, just tell me and I'll help you see how to solve it."

"It's beyond repair; that person has been dead for a long time," the female ghost sighed helplessly before continuing.

"That important man has a shrew in his household, who is extremely cruel and jealous..."

When she discovered that powerful figure...did that thing with me, she didn't listen to a single word of my explanation and immediately had me thrown into a brothel...

So many people… I begged them to give me a quick death… but they wouldn’t let me go… until the very end, when they were leaving, they finally killed me.”

"I am not reconciled!" the female ghost cried out miserably, her eyes turning bloodshot.

Hatred is like an inextinguishable flame; it can erupt at the slightest carelessness.

She was the one being bullied, yet she had to endure endless humiliation, while that powerful figure remained unscathed, powerful and influential, without facing any punishment. In fact, besides her, he later harmed and harmed many other people.

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu Jiu still didn't understand.

What's so special about this woman, and why is she being raised in this way?

This is certainly not the final purpose for which she was kept in the collection.

Xiao Jiu Jiu suddenly had a bright idea: "Oh right, I haven't asked you about your birth date and time yet, do you remember?"

"It's been too long, I need to think about it." The female ghost was still sitting on the ground, thinking about her birthday.

Several hundred years have passed since she died.

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Take your time to think about it."

Qin Yuhai, unable to offer any help, could only say, "Should I go wash up first, or should I interrogate her with you?"

"It's okay, Uncle. You can come with me and see what she has to say." Xiao Jiujiu smiled at Qin Yuhai.

Qin Yuhai understood immediately and sat down.

"Um, I am..."

The female ghost thought carefully before revealing her birth date.

As she listened, Xiao Jiujiu's eyes widened.

This birth chart is truly exceptional, especially for someone who practices ghost cultivation.

Those born in a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour are of pure yin constitution.

There are clues to why people born at such times are prone to getting into trouble.

Too many people who practice demonic arts or follow evil paths like this kind of person.

The female ghost looked at Xiao Jiujiu in confusion: "Master Celestial, is there something wrong with this?"

The female ghost noticed that Xiao Jiu Jiu's expression was particularly strange, and she was puzzled, so she couldn't help but ask her a question.

"it's okay no problem."

Xiao Jiu Jiu shook her head, not intending to tell her: "So what happened to you after that?"

"It's nothing. After I died, my soul came out but couldn't leave the mansion. I watched as that important person went to find one person after another, but I couldn't hurt them. That lady also kept male lovers herself."

It's fair to say that these two people clearly don't like each other, and each has their own favorite little gadgets.

But for some reason, the lady couldn't tolerate her and wanted to kill her.

Seeing her enemies who killed her living so well filled her with resentment, but she was helpless.

"At that time, I was very resentful, but it wasn't enough for me to personally kill my enemy, until an opportunity arose."

As her memories deepened, the female ghost also recalled many things.

"what chance?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu stared at the female ghost, trying to discern something.

Qin Yuhai said from the side, "She wasn't lying."

"Ah."

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded.

The female ghost then continued, "A man came to that important person's house. I heard that the man is a very skilled painter who can paint exceptionally beautiful people. He can paint them just by hearing their descriptions."

"Oh?"

Xiao Jiu Jiu became interested.

The female ghost then said, "That person listened to the description of that important figure and actually drew me."

"When you appeared in the painting, were you wearing a red wedding dress?" Xiao Jiu Jiu sensed something was wrong and quickly asked.

Nodding, the female ghost said, "Yes, that painter is truly amazing. The face of the person in the painting is exactly the same as mine, except that he is wearing a wedding dress and sitting alone in a high hall."

"And then?" Qin Yuhai frowned.

The female ghost said helplessly, "I go to see that painting every day. I think it's so strange. It seems like it's trying to suck me in."

"That's when the opportunity arose."

The female ghost's eyes lit up, and she continued, "That day, I was about to touch the painting when I was sucked away by a suction force."

When I came to my senses, I found myself trapped inside the painting.

"It's not quite right to say I was sleepy; I can still get out, I can still escape from that important person by staying inside the painting."

"So you went out and did all sorts of evil things?" Xiao Jiujiu stared intently at the female ghost.

The female ghost shook her head: "No, I didn't do anything bad."

Moreover, I lacked the ability and couldn't do anything.

"Then why did you become like this?" Xiao Jiujiu raised an eyebrow and looked at the female ghost.

The female ghost pondered for a moment and said, "After that, I stayed inside the painting, drifting with the current, and occasionally falling into a deep sleep, until several decades ago."

A woman used this painting to raise Gu worms.

"Another Gu worm?"

Upon hearing about the Gu worm, Qin Yuhai couldn't help but frown.

So many recent cases are inextricably linked to Gu worms.

Some things are just too coincidental; there must be a lot of problems involved.

"Yes, that woman sealed my resentment inside the painting and used it to nourish the Gu worms."

"The Gu worms are increasingly absorbing my resentment, which has made me less powerful than before." The female ghost said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

Xiao Jiu Jiu stroked her chin thoughtfully: "So, you're trapped inside the formation."

The female ghost nodded: "Yes, this formation is very powerful, which is why I can't get out anymore."

Being a ghost is annoying enough, but being used is even worse.

Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes darted around, and a sly smile curled at the corner of her lips: "Then can you sense the woman controlling the formation?"

Xiao Jiu: I suddenly have a terrible idea (n_n)
