Therefore, it is necessary to find a few High Monks to forcibly resolve the resentment of this little ghost and transform it from a ghost into an Earth Child Kumant. After that, Miss Ming can continue to offer her devotion, but the effects will be significantly diminished compared to before.
Moreover, due to the relationship between this spirit and Miss Ming, even after being transformed into an Earth Child Kumant, it is best not to make wishes casually. She should simply offer her devotion and treat it like a child. Otherwise, if she forgets to fulfill her promises one day, it might cause trouble again.
This method sounds somewhat effective, but it is very unfair to Miss Ming. She cultivated the little ghost in hopes of making a comeback and regaining her star aura, which cost her a considerable amount of money—nearly six hundred thousand in total.
Not only that, but now she also has to continue taking care of it like a lord while being unable to make wishes. I feel that this is really not suitable for Miss Ming.
However, Ajan Dong has no other good solutions; the resentment of the Little Ghost Spirit is too great and has already developed malicious thoughts. If it is not eliminated, the resentment must be resolved; otherwise, Miss Ming will not live much longer.
Second Uncle added, "In matters like this, it's best to listen to Ajan. Suffering a little loss is nothing; living is better than anything else."
Miss Ming nodded tearfully in agreement. At this point, she no longer thinks about whether she can become popular again; instead, she is more concerned about how to keep the child with her. Looking at her pitifully tearful face, I couldn't help but sigh. If she hadn't been so obsessed with marrying into a wealthy family back then, perhaps she wouldn't have to worry about these things today.
However, although Ajan Dong said that the little ghost could be transformed into an Earth Child Kumant, before that happens, it still needs to be suppressed a bit first to prevent any threats to Miss Ming before the resentment is resolved.
Ajan Dong drew several Invocation Spells and bound them around the little ghost with thread. He then specially created a small coffin inscribed with binding scriptures and Soul-Settling Spells and placed the Infant Mummy inside. He told Miss Ming that there were magical scriptures both inside and outside the coffin; if it were damaged, the little ghost would immediately escape. Therefore, she should not open it casually until the resentment is completely resolved.
Miss Ming choked up and asked where she could find High Monks to resolve the resentment.
Second Uncle immediately took over the conversation, saying he knew many Grandma Longs and that he would handle everything. However, Grandma Long's services for exorcism also require payment; considering that you are an "old customer," he would only charge thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars.
This price is actually quite high; normally, hiring a High Monk for chanting and blessings usually costs only a few thousand dollars at most—no more than twenty thousand. Second Uncle's markup made me feel uneasy, but before I could speak up, Miss Ming had already agreed.
They were willing to fight, and I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
After that, Second Uncle took me and Miss Ming back to the mainland. First, he returned A-Zhan Ping's skull artifact, and then he led Miss Ming to the temple. Resolving the little ghost's Resentment would take some time, and since it was at the temple, there wasn't much danger, so I didn't follow them.
Moreover, Hu Xiaoyi also called to ask why I suddenly returned to the country without informing them.
I apologized and said I had urgent matters and couldn't notify them in time. I promised to take them to Pattaya for a fun outing as a way to make it up to them.
Hu Xiaoyi and Qin Zhenzhen had heard me talk about Pattaya's scenery before and knew what kind of place it was. They both scoffed and said only a fool would go there. I laughed heartily and said Pattaya is not just about its beauty; there are many unique Thai performances available for everyone, regardless of gender. It's like a saying popular in the mainland: if you don't visit the Great Wall, you're not a true hero. If you don't experience the unique features of the homeland, it's like coming for nothing.
Just then, Second Uncle returned home and heard me mention going to Pattaya. He immediately insisted on joining us. He even said that for the past twenty years, he had been footing the bill, so now it was his turn to enjoy being treated by others. I was speechless; he owned over ten properties in Hong Kong. Even if he bought one at a bargain price, it would be enough for him to enjoy himself for quite some time.
But Second Uncle was reluctant; he firmly believed that the economy would recover one day, and darkness would eventually give way to light!
I asked him what would happen to Miss Ming if he went out to have fun.
Second Uncle replied, "What else? Just leave the little ghost at the temple; after a week, we can pick it up without needing to watch over it. If you want me to be her bodyguard every day or something like that, it’ll cost you fifty thousand Thai Baht a day."
I rolled my eyes and said, "You give me ten thousand Thai Baht, and I'll be your bodyguard."
Second Uncle looked disdainful and said, "With your scrawny frame, three of you together wouldn't be my match. Who's protecting whom? Enough with the nonsense; let's get going. I'm suffocating here on the mainland."
Seeing his urgency, I had no choice but to call Hu Xiaoyi again and bring him and Qin Zhenzhen back so we could set off together.
The distance from Bangkok to Pattaya is not far; it takes about two hours by car. Perhaps it was just pent-up excitement, but Second Uncle became quite chatty along the way.
Qin Zhenzhen was visiting Thailand for the first time and knew nothing about it. She asked questions left and right, looking like a curious child. Second Uncle told her that Pattaya used to be a very small fishing village. During the Vietnam War, American soldiers stayed here, and since they often had nothing to do and carried large amounts of USD, many speculators came to take advantage of the situation.
Over time, this place gradually developed into a hub of indulgence and luxury. With beautiful women and beaches, it became known as the Eastern Hawaii.
After arriving in Pattaya, Second Uncle took us directly to a beach hotel called The Cliff. It was a five-star establishment with all kinds of amenities in the room, almost like a well-decorated suite back home. This was Second Uncle's regular hotel when he visited Pattaya; sometimes he would meet clients here, so he was already a valued customer.
When we arrived, the hotel manager even came to greet us and presented a fruit platter along with some cigars.
Hu Xiaoyi didn't smoke and occasionally enjoyed some beer or fruit wine, while Qin Zhenzhen was very interested in the cigars. She insisted that Second Uncle help her cut one, and after taking a puff, she ended up coughing for quite some time. Second Uncle laughed heartily and explained that cigars are different from cigarettes; you shouldn't inhale them directly into your lungs. He suggested closing the doors and windows, pouring a glass of red wine, playing some soft music, lighting the cigar, then exhaling the smoke slowly while inhaling through the nose to truly appreciate its rich aroma.
Qin Zhenzhen complained that he should have told her earlier; she almost choked to death.
Second Uncle was someone who enjoyed having fun. Although he was nearing forty, he got along well with younger people. He didn’t take Qin Zhenzhen’s complaints too seriously; instead, he often teased her and Hu Xiaoyi, making both of them blush and feel flustered throughout the day.
Pattaya is most famous for its sunshine, sandy beaches, seafood delicacies, and its renowned Transgender Performance.
The Transgender Performances here are more impressive and open than those in Bangkok. Qin Zhenzhen expressed envy, saying these men were even more beautiful than women and had such lovely voices; she felt truly jealous. I chuckled and explained that the voices in Transgender Performances are often not real. While medical science can change gender, it’s difficult to alter vocal cords. In fact, most performances use pre-recorded audio while the performers simply lip-sync on stage. They are so good at lip-syncing that most people can’t tell the difference.
Of course, some transgender individuals naturally have higher-pitched voices and can train their voices further to sound more feminine. However, their stage careers tend to be short-lived because their beauty relies on hormones and surgeries. Typically, they only perform until around thirty years old; after that age, their bodies and looks decline significantly, making it hard to attract attention again. So rather than envying them, one should feel fortunate to be born a woman without needing to go through such changes.
The performances were so stunning that even someone as innocent as Hu Xiaoyi was captivated, causing Qin Zhenzhen to pout and glare at him while putting her hands on her hips. I secretly stuck out my tongue, thinking how lucky I was not to have taken them to the beach swimming area where there were nude performances; if Qin Zhenzhen saw that, she would have devoured everyone!
Previously, Hu Xiaoyi and Qin Zhenzhen said that there was nothing fun to do in Pattaya, and only lecherous people would go there. But once they actually arrived, they understood why millions of tourists flock here every year.
They didn't stop all day until night fell, and the true city that never sleeps awakened.
Second Uncle wanted to go out to relax and meet some women. I actually wanted to go too, but considering that Hu Xiaoyi and Qin Zhenzhen were unfamiliar with the place and didn't speak Thai, I felt it wouldn't be right to let them wander alone. So I let Second Uncle go off on his own.
Without Second Uncle around, Hu Xiaoyi and Qin Zhenzhen felt much less restrained. We found an outdoor bar, enjoyed some fruit wine, and watched the performances, feeling quite content.
Perhaps after drinking too much fruit wine, Hu Xiaoyi needed to use the restroom, and I felt the same way, so I accompanied him. On the way, Hu Xiaoyi asked me if Second Uncle often came here. Throughout the day, many of the bosses at various places had greeted Second Uncle, seeming quite familiar with him.
I chuckled and said, "If you were to throw a few hundred thousand or even millions of Thai Baht here every year, they would be just as eager to greet you."
Hu Xiaoyi clicked his tongue and said, "Second Uncle really enjoys himself!"
I replied that it wasn't so much that he enjoyed it; most of the time, he was accompanying clients. He only chose to come here for a wild time when he was under too much pressure or feeling very tired.
In the days I referred to, Second Uncle was busy at least three hundred days a year. His carefree demeanor masked his exhaustion. To outsiders, he appeared to be a pleasure-seeking businessman who liked to take advantage of clients; only those who truly knew him understood how hard he worked. He supported all of the Shen Family's businesses on the mainland; without Second Uncle, the Shen Family would have lost their way during the Financial Crisis.
I respected Second Uncle not only because he was well-traveled and knowledgeable but also because he was a real man—a man you could rely on!
After relieving myself, Hu Xiaoyi and I headed back directly. However, when we reached our seats, we discovered that Qin Zhenzhen was missing.
