Chapter 100

The beautiful ghost would rather die than admit that the Gu Feiyin before her was the same Gu Feiyin from a century ago. Even though there was a ninety-nine percent chance it was her-after all, there were very few ghosts who knew about those foolish things she’d done in the past. The only one who might have known she once spied on the Handsome Monk was Long Black Straight Hair.

After all, since she was born so beautiful, she had to put on airs and keep her dignity. Usually, it was the little ghosts who begged to see her; as for those she’d go to see herself-those were truly rare.

The reason she was interested in the Handsome Monk was because the little ghosts all spoke of him as if he were some supernatural being. Even Long Black Straight Hair, who’d never really suffered losses, had been tormented for an entire month after taking a bite out of him. For a Handsome Monk with such a vicious temperament, she was extremely curious.

So she secretly went to take a peek. That one look was truly something-this person was good-looking! Even with a shiny bald head, he was still handsome. The Handsome Monk belonged to this sort: no matter how prominent his forehead, his features were simply too attractive. It was a pity he was too powerful-powerful people were usually dangerous. The moment she saw him, she knew she couldn’t get close, so she just watched from a distance and left it at that. Only Long Black Straight Hair would be so blind as to go right up and take a bite-who ended up suffering in the end if not herself?

Thinking of all this, the beautiful ghost became even more convinced that the long-haired woman before her was the same Long Black Straight Hair from decades ago.

But she’d actually become human? And was even struck by heaven thunder?

The beautiful ghost was stunned-no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t believe what Gu Feiyin said was true. Wasn’t she just trying to trick her?

While she was still puzzled, Gu Feiyin on the other side was already scratching her head in anxiety. This Xiao Yan actually didn’t believe her? Well, there was no other way-she’d just have to fight to prove her strength.

Once she thought of this, Gu Feiyin wasted no time. She kicked off with both legs, and with a “plop”, pounced forward, opening her blood-red mouth wide-ah woo-

The beautiful ghost was so startled she shot backward, floating in the air. What was up with this Long Black Straight Hair? After all these decades, she still hadn’t kicked the habit of biting people? Not that she was afraid of being bitten by a ghost, but Long Black Straight Hair’s mouth-who knew if it had been struck by heaven thunder or what-if she got bitten, even if she didn’t die, she’d be skinned alive. There was no getting off lightly.

Of course Gu Feiyin wouldn’t give up so easily. Seeing that Xiao Yan dodged, she immediately chased after her, baring her teeth like a demon about to devour someone. The little ghosts who had followed behind were nearly scared to death-no way, are they really fighting? Even Master Gu has joined in, what are they waiting for? Quick, join in!

Liao Yuan, the old monk, was being supported over by Zhen Du and Jingxing. Naturally, they couldn’t walk as fast as the little ghosts could float. By the time they arrived, they saw the little ghost, Sis Gu, and the beautiful ghost in an all-out brawl, shouting and hollering like a marketplace.

“Ah-hey, watch where you swing! You hit me!”

“Sorry, sorry, I’m just too excited.”

“Oh wow, look, Master Gu’s biting Xiao Yan! Ahh, Xiao Yan’s biting back!”

“…So fierce!”

Liao Yuan, the old monk, was beside himself with worry. How did Sis Gu and Xiao Yan end up fighting? Did they fall out this quickly?!

Jingxing was also shocked-weren’t they supposed to be old acquaintances?

Zhen Du craned his neck to look inside. At this moment, he regretted being able to see ghosts-otherwise, even if it was ghosts crowding ghosts, he wouldn’t have to worry about not getting a spot.

When they finally squeezed in, they saw Shizhu Gu and Xiao Yan tangled together, limbs twisted, Yin Energy thick around them, their eyes cold and venomous, as if they were about to fight to the death.

Liao Yuan the monk was truly anxious-but what could he do? Of course, he had to try to break up the fight!

Unfortunately, Gu Feiyin and the beautiful ghost didn’t listen to him at all, still entangled and refusing to let go.

“If you dare use your mouth, I’ll fight you to the end today!”

“Xiao Yan, you finally remember me? Didn’t we first meet through a fight back in the day?”

“…No!”

“Still no? I remember I bit you once back then, and after that we became good neighbors.”

“…!!!”

It would have been better not to mention the past. As soon as she did, the beautiful ghost grew even angrier. She became a ghost before Long Black Straight Hair did, and by rights her cultivation should have been deeper, but she could never beat her. Or rather, none of the little ghosts around were a match for Gu Feiyin-her mouth was just too formidable, able to devour anything. Ordinary ghosts really couldn’t handle her. Back then, she’d almost been gnawed into a fool.

Enraged, the beautiful ghost grabbed Gu Feiyin’s hair. Gu Feiyin yelped and wailed, then bit her arm in one gulp. The beautiful ghost screamed, Resentment Energy surging sky-high, wishing she could give Long Black Straight Hair a good beating, but she was really afraid Long Black Straight Hair would bite her arm clean off. If that happened, she’d need years of cultivation to recover.

“All right, all right, all right, let go, I’m done fighting with you!”

Gu Feiyin got excited at once. “Xiao Yan, you finally recognize me!”

The beautiful ghost rolled her eyes, still unwilling to pay her any attention. She’s already human, but why is she still so heavy? Could it be that she’s still thinking about eating every day?

……

The beautiful ghost never expected she’d see Gu Feiyin again.

Back then, Gu Feiyin was struck by thunder and her soul was scattered. The beautiful ghost lived in her own pit for a decade, waited out the Handsome Monk’s death, and then moved over to Gu Feiyin’s place, thinking a change of scenery might lighten her mood. Living in the same place for too long gets dull. Another few decades passed, and she was woken up by a violent earthquake. Startled, she floated in the air, watching rocks tumble and trees sway, while human cries echoed from below the mountain…

The earthquake was fierce, burying Gu Feiyin’s pit under a massive boulder-which was even better, since it meant no one would ever find her.

It was during this time that she saved a particularly handsome man on the mountain. Her cultivation was deep enough to let her disguise herself as a human. She sent him to the hospital and then lived in the human world for a while.

She discovered that humans were truly interesting-wanting to see ghosts, yet fearing them at the same time. The human she saved was even more amusing-he sent her to school! She thought, well, she was bored anyway, so why not study? It wasn’t as if she’d never attended classes before. Before the Handsome Monk came to the town, she often snuck into the village and had eavesdropped on a few lessons.

Going to school was naturally no problem for her.

She lived in the human world for over a decade, until the man she saved finally noticed something-her appearance never changed, her body was always cold, and she didn’t breathe.

He looked terrified, as if he couldn’t believe it. She simply turned and went to the next place. The world was big, and if she couldn’t stay here, there were plenty of other places to have fun.

She wandered the human world for decades before finally returning when she heard about the earthquake in Baiyu Town.

The beautiful ghost had originally planned to rest for a while before heading out again. Who would have thought a little ghost would barge in, or that she’d encounter Gu Feiyin!

What kind of fated calamity was this? Was it really as the Handsome Monk said, that Goddamn Heaven favored her?

……

Gu Feiyin was nearly bursting with excitement. At this moment, she couldn’t think about anything else-her mind was filled with the gold, silver, and paper money in her pit. She already had plenty of treasures, and after all these years, she’d gathered even more inheritance. She was rich, rich, rich!

She was finally going to strike it rich.

This time, not even Goddamn Heaven could stop her from getting wealthy-a billionaire, that’s who she was!
