Chapter 220 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 2 (2/2)

The cellphone’s weak light swept through the apartment. Only when An Su was sure there was nothing abnormal lurking around did she leave the bathroom covered in nothing but a towel. Only after her eyes adjusted to the darkness did she finally gain some degree of visibility to carefully scan her surroundings.

“Bzzt…bzzt…” Suddenly, crackling sounds could be heard.

“Ah!” An Su yelped in surprise and quickly covered her ears before retreating to a wall.

“Ah— Ah, en. En, ah…” Her ears picked up a familiar, yet somewhat distorted noise.

She cautiously took her hands off her ears, clearing out the garbled noises. She turned to look at her television.

On the television screen, two buck naked people were currently getting it on.

She didn’t recognise the woman, but she’d recognise that man even if he turned to ash. It was the ghost who had taken her virginity and even used force last night…

The scene got more and more explicit, causing An Su to flush furiously. ‘He forcefully took me—that, I can intentionally disregard,, but now he’s actually showing me something so shameless!’

“Nalan Ying! Get the fuck out here!” An Su shouted suddenly with a livid expression on her face. The moment her words fell, the television turned off and the room returned to its former darkness.

Shi Sheng swiftly floated out of the room. Nalan Ying was more powerful than her right now, so Shi Sheng didn’t dare to eavesdrop in on his business. After all, the result wouldn’t be very fun for her if she was discovered.

Shi Sheng floated out of the little neighbourhood. The streets were crowded and there were bright lights everywhere, but she kept having this frustrating feeling of not fitting in.

‘En, who told me to be a ghost? What can ghosts do? Normal ones can only scare people, play some porn or cause a couple of accidents. Their strength is so low it’s scary. A ghost almost never becomes strong enough to cause any real damage. Well, unless I become a wraith…’

But if she became a wraith, she wouldn’t be able to reincarnate and Ning Ying’s wish would become impossible to fulfil.

Furthermore…

‘If Feng Ci really does appear in these worlds, I want to find him. My man has to stay by my side at all times. But identifying him is a little troublesome, I have to use spirit energy. And this world… En?’

Shi Sheng focused her senses and found that this world actually had some spirit energy. Although it wasn’t much, cultivating shouldn’t be a problem.

Shi Sheng reckoned the spells of this world required spirit energy too, but the spirit energy here was relatively thin, so there weren’t many who could actually cultivate.

It was like how you’d pick a piece of clothing in a size that fits you. If the size was too big, it’d feel very loose and empty. But if it was too small, you’d have trouble putting it on, or might even tear it trying to do so.

Now that she knew that there was actually spirit energy present, things became much easier. All she had to do now was follow the training methods of ghost cultivators from cultivation worlds to cultivate.

Shi Sheng found an area with slightly denser spirit energy and began to absorb it, beginning her cultivation.

This cultivation period lasted ten days. Fortunately, she’d chosen a spot far away from civilisation.

Only when Shi Sheng felt like she had enough spirit energy stored up for her to show off did she leisurely float back to the city.

She first went to An Su’s apartment to take a look around. The latter was probably at school, because her apartment was empty.

And so, Shi Sheng decided to float in the direction of An Su’s school.

But the moment she started floating downstairs, she was stopped by someone… some ghost[3]. It was the little ghost she’d seen before.

“Don’t go out! There’s a baddie out there…” The little ghost spoke timidly from his hiding spot behind a large tree.

“Baddie? What baddie?” ‘I didn’t notice anything off when I came back!’

The little ghost was probably struggling to structure his sentences in his head, for he only stammered out a few sentences after a while, “He’s good-looking… but so fierce! The two ghosts next door were exorcised by him! He’s really scary…”

[1] I think the original might be closer to incubus, but at the same time, it’s not exactly an incubus as in something that survives off of sex with women… So I’ll just leave it as is.

[2] Just think of this as a ghostliness factor. The more you have, the colder and darker you are. I didn’t know if to call this aura or energy, so I left it in pinyin.

[3] I’m not sure if I’ve explained this before, but the character for human is also the character for person. In other words human = person. Not human = not person. Hence the differentiation.
