Upon thinking this, when the female ghost looked at Mu Yunchu again, her emotions were completely different from before.
Frowning and defensively staring at her, "Who exactly are you?"
She couldn’t see through this girl’s cultivation level at all.
Mu Yunchu seriously answered, "I am now the owner of a folk culture supplies shop."
Female ghost: "..."
The others: "..."
Seeing that no one present had the intention to ask further, she rubbed her nose and focused her attention on the female ghost again, "You really can’t take him away today."
Mu Yunchu was speaking the truth.
There was no exaggeration or superficiality in her words.
She also gave Su Nian and the others a reassurance.
The female ghost’s face imdiately drooped.
She couldn’t win in a fight, yet she was unwilling to leave like this.
On that sowhat terrifying face, they actually saw resentnt and grievance.
"He promised back then..."
"I just want to pursue true love..."
In a way, Su Nian and this female ghost could completely be seen as rivals in love. But at this mont, seeing her look so pitiful, Su Nian felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.
Perhaps it’s because they both deeply love soone, so she could empathize with her feelings.
Putting herself in the other person’s shoes, seeking soone for hundreds of years because of a promise, only to find that the person wants to marry soone else, she couldn’t bear it either.
If she could move now, she might really say so comforting words to the other person.
Everyone present was touched seeing the female ghost sobbing quietly.
Even Chen Yuting started to reflect on what kind of scoundrel he was in his previous life to not even fulfill the promises he made to others.
Only Mu Yunchu remained unmoved.
"You’re mistaken."
"In fact, you didn’t really love him that much."
"You were just obsessed."
Everyone: !!!
From the female ghost’s previous narration, Mu Yunchu felt it. In her words, the descriptions about her husband were official and hollow, thus she felt this way.
Whether it was so-called love at first sight or love as strong as gold, both were very superficial idioms.
She didn’t see any deep love in the female ghost’s eyes.
The female ghost visibly staggered a bit.
As if her deepest secret had been exposed. In a trance, lost in soul.
Was it really just an obsession?
Ignoring the expressions of the others, Mu Yunchu grabbed the female ghost.
"Co with ."
Then she walked away without looking back, just waving her hand.
Su Nian and the others suddenly felt they could move.
"Master..."
She instinctively wanted to call out to Mu Yunchu.
Whether to express gratitude or pay her, she shouldn’t just let the person leave like that.
But Mu Yunchu still walked on as if she hadn’t heard.
She pursed her lips, saying intentionally or unintentionally: "The master must be mad at us."
Aside from her, the other three were silent.
Having just brushed past death, their clothes were already soaked. That feeling of terror and being infinitely close to death couldn’t be shaken off.
They had to admit it, even if they didn’t want to.
From the beginning, they had never fully trusted Mu Yunchu.
Not to ntion how their attitude toward her was.
Each of them was instantly too ashad to speak.
Chen Hai Zhou finally realized how ridiculous he was in the afternoon, angrily glaring at the old Daoist lying on the ground who had fainted at so point, rubbing his hands awkwardly.
"How about I personally go over to show gratitude tomorrow?"
He tentatively asked.
And received affirming answers from the other three.
...
But actually, they misunderstood, the reason Mu Yunchu was eager to leave was not because she was mad at them.
It was because she was in a hurry.
"Master, Master, can you please let go of my collar..."
"I can walk by myself..."
The female ghost said weakly.
It’s not that her clothes were so precious, but when her family had their accident, naturally no one would burn clothes and paper money for her after her death, so over the years, she only had this one outfit.
If it tore, there would be nothing to wear in the future.
The hole Mu Yunchu made earlier could still be patched up, but if the collar got torn, it couldn’t be fixed anymore.
Although Mu Yunchu didn’t reply, she still let go.
Seeing the unsmiling expression on the other’s face, the female ghost was puzzled.
"Master, where are you planning to take ?"
"To reincarnate." Mu Yunchu continued looking ahead.
The female ghost suddenly stopped abruptly.
"No, no, no, I don’t want to go."
Mu Yunchu paused, explaining patiently, "I just calculated it, an hour later is a good ti, your previous life was hard, and as a ghost, you haven’t hard anyone, so in your next life you could be born into a good family."
She was afraid the female ghost would misunderstand, so she explained in detail.
But the female ghost still didn’t want to go.
The feelings involved were complex, including the waste of a lifeti’s cultivation of her high-level Mana, and of course, other reasons...
Seeing her resistance, Mu Yunchu inevitably suspected, "You wouldn’t still want to find Chen Yuting, would you?"
The female ghost quickly shook her head.
"No, no, no."
"I definitely wouldn’t."
After Mu Yunchu’s advice earlier, she realized she actually didn’t really want to marry Chen Yuting that much.
Of course, she wouldn’t admit that part of it was because in this life he wasn’t to her taste aesthetically.
Her eyes quickly turned, those beautiful eyes fixating intently on Mu Yunchu, sowhat having an enchanting vibe.
"If it’s really a problem, how about you keep around to supervise?"
Mu Yunchu: "..."
...
In the end, Mu Yunchu decided to keep the female ghost by her side.
The reason was simple.
Because she said she could cook.
Thinking about it, indeed it could be handy to have an employee around, especially one that doesn’t require pay.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunchu looked at the happily hovering female ghost and asked, "I don’t even know your na yet."
The female ghost visibly paused, so emotion welled up in her heart, she straightened up considerably and then perford a curtsey from her era for Mu Yunchu.
Softly saying, "My na is Li Shang, pleased to et you."
*
When Li Shang was first brought back to the shop, she was almost scared out of her wits by the big black dog.
She patted her chest, behaving much more cautiously. Her eyes were full of wariness toward the dog.
Mu Yunchu was a bit surprised.
She looked at the black dog eyeing Li Shang sharply.
Logically, a female ghost of Li Shang’s cultivation level should not have such a strong reaction to a black dog.
She walked over and gently patted the black dog’s head.
"Behave, Lucky."
"She’s fine."
The black dog called Lucky instantly beca obedient, even wagging its tail leisurely.
Only then did Li Shang make her way into the yard.
In just two days, the staff at Mu Yunchu’s shop rapidly increased.
To the outside world, she just said she had hired an employee when asked about the sudden presence of a century-old female ghost in her shop.
As for the black dog, it was picked up for guarding the house.
Even though the neighbors were puzzled by the fact that a seemingly failing shop would still spend money hiring employees, Mu Yunchu never concerned herself with others’ opinions.
Although Li Shang claid she could cook, she currently didn’t have the spare money to fix up the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, the next day soone ca to give her money—Su Nian’s family ca to visit.
First, to express their gratitude, and then Chen Hai Zhou admitted he had poor judgnt. Besides bringing many gifts, he also brought over the fifty thousand that had been agreed upon initially.
Not only that, but they also bought a ton of protective and exorcising items from her shop.
Seeing the sudden arrival of six hundred thousand in her account, Mu Yunchu considered whether to set aside a portion of the money to tidy up the shop to maintain the most basic living conditions.
After much thought, she decided to do so simple renovations.
At least to fix up a few habitable rooms and the kitchen.
Mu Yunchu asked the shop owner across the street for a renovation contact, not expecting it to bring her major trouble.
