"My Tenant is a Female Ghost" features a female ghost.
"Sister Shirei? What brings you here?" Bai Zhuo looked at the beautiful woman before him, feeling secretly pleased.
Ouyang Shirei had, of course, witnessed everything that had just transpired, and she shot him a resentful glance. "I couldn't help but worry about you, so I came to see what was going on. Why were you arguing with everyone? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Oh, that woman insisted that I harass her... Ah!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ouyang Shirei pinched the tender flesh at Bai Zhuo's waist, causing him to yelp in pain. She looked like a jealous and aggrieved wife. Then, turning to Zhang Ni and Zhu Huiguang, he bowed apologetically. "I’m truly sorry, both of you. As long as I'm here, my Bai Zhuo definitely has no energy to pursue other girls. There must be some misunderstanding; I apologize on behalf of my Bai Zhuo."
Ouyang Shirei's cheeks flushed slightly, her demeanor graceful and composed, which inadvertently elevated Bai Zhuo's image. Indeed, although Zhang Ni was beautiful and made up, she paled in comparison to Ouyang Shirei. Did Bai Zhuo need to harass someone like Zhang Ni when he had such a stunning girlfriend? Did he not notice how Zhu Huiguang was drooling over Ouyang Shirei?
Seeing this, Bai Zhuo felt both moved and vindicated. He discreetly wrapped his arm around Ouyang Shirei and shot a smug glance at those who had just attacked him, letting out a cold snicker.
Zhu Huiguang scoffed, "Hmph, she's probably just a woman who got lucky because of Chairman Huang's 'connections'! Beautiful lady, don’t be fooled by him; look at his sleazy appearance—he doesn’t deserve you. How about you come with me instead..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ouyang Shirei interrupted loudly, "Sir, I know very well how my man is; others have no right to point fingers in front of me!"
"Well said!" Suddenly, Huang Jiangliu clapped his hands in praise from the crowd. "Well said! Ouyang Dean is truly straightforward!"
Seeing Huang Jiangliu's reaction, everyone chimed in, praising Bai Zhuo and Ouyang Shirei as a perfect couple. Their pretentiousness made Bai Zhuo feel disgusted. Zhang Ni was particularly concerned about her image; the man she chose was flirting with another woman right in front of everyone. She felt humiliated in front of so many prominent figures from Ningcheng and stormed off after forcefully shaking off Zhu Huiguang's hands. It was only then that Zhu Huiguang remembered he still had a female companion and took the opportunity to leave in embarrassment.
As the crowd dispersed and the farce came to an end, Bai Zhuo let out a deep breath of relief and felt quite pleased until he heard a cold voice beside him: "How long are you going to hold on?"
"Cough cough... I'm sorry..." Bai Zhuo hurriedly withdrew his hand. "Thank you for earlier, Sister Shirei. By the way, how did you get here?"
Huang Jiangliu interjected, "Oh, Ouyang Dean was worried about this matter and insisted on coming over; I brought her here."
"Indeed, I never expected someone to be so carefree, even teasing girls..." Ouyang Shirei remarked.
Bai Zhuo shouted in protest, "It's really that woman who caused trouble; I didn't do anything!"
Meanwhile, Huang Jiangliu greeted others and discreetly slipped away. It was a matter between the couple, and he really couldn't interfere!
"How strange! If you don't provoke her, why would she come looking for trouble?" Ouyang Shirei pouted, completely unaware of her own adorable demeanor.
"That woman is Zhang Ni. I met her through a matchmaking platform. We went out once for a blind date, but it didn't work out, and now we have some bad blood. Honestly, I didn't want any of this."
"You actually went on a blind date!"
"Yeah, I'm twenty-five now and I've never had a girlfriend... But it's a good thing it didn't work out. If I had married someone like her, I would have been blind! Ugh, blind in my eyes!"
Ouyang Shirei suddenly seemed a bit downcast. She murmured an "oh" and fell silent as she headed toward the memorial hall. Bai Zhuo looked confused. Did I say something wrong again?
After paying her respects to Huang Jiangliu's wife, Ouyang Shirei silently walked out the door. Bai Zhuo hesitated about whether to follow her. She turned back and shot him a glance. "Come on, let's go see Minmin. She must be very sad after losing her mother, and Huang Dong is so busy that he can't take care of his child. We should check on her."
Ouyang Shirei seemed familiar with the place. She led Bai Zhuo effortlessly to Huang Minmin's door and knocked lightly. The door opened to reveal a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, her ponytail messy and two clear tear streaks visible on her alluring face. Upon seeing Ouyang Shirei, she shouted "Sister Dean!" and threw herself into her arms, crying loudly.
Ouyang Shirei held Huang Minmin tightly, softly comforting her. Bai Zhuo noticed there was also a boy in the room; he recognized him as Huang Jiangliu's son, Huang Junhao. The boy's eyes were red but he stubbornly held back his tears. He stepped around Ouyang Shirei and approached Huang Junhao, gently patting his head. "Junhao, right? If you're feeling sad, it's okay to cry."
But the boy bit his lip and shook his head defiantly. "Junhao won't cry. Mom told me I'm a man and I can't shed tears!"
Bai Zhuo was quite surprised; he hadn't expected this five-year-old boy to have such a strong mindset! He gave Huang Junhao a thumbs up. "You're really a brave man! When my mom passed away, I cried for quite a while!"
Huang Junhao looked at Bai Zhuo in astonishment. "Uncle, you don't have your mom anymore either?"
"Yes, when I was about your age, my mother also passed away, and my father was gone too. Junhao, don't cry. Uncle admires you."
"Then uncle, aren't you going to take revenge?"
Bai Zhuo was taken aback and asked, "Revenge?"
"Yes, revenge!"
"But how do you know your mother was harmed by someone?"
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Ah! You saw it? Tell uncle about it!"
"...That night, I was so scared. That thing kept holding onto my mother, squeezing her neck, and then suddenly my mother turned into two. That... that terrifying thing ate my mother... It even smiled at me... I was so useless; I couldn't protect my mother!" The young man finally shed tears, blaming himself for not being able to protect his mother.
"Junhao, let me see your eyes!" Bai Zhuo crouched down and stared intently into Huang Junhao's eyes.
"Hiss! The First Yin-Yang Eye!" Bai Zhuo had read many books and naturally understood the significance of the First Yin-Yang Eye. The Yin-Yang Eye is divided into the initial and later stages of cultivation, and the rarity of the First Yin-Yang Eye is second only to the Living Eye! Thinking about how Ge Zhongxiang, Elder Ge, took him as a disciple, it was undoubtedly because he recognized his ability to see and even interact with Tree Spirits.
Bai Zhuo gathered his thoughts. He knew that Huang Junhao was telling the truth. What Huang Junhao witnessed must have been an Evil Spirit forcing his mother's soul out and devouring it! If they could rescue his mother's soul within seven days, she wouldn't be dead; the plan had changed!
