Chapter 37: with translation of chapter title: 37

37 「Transaction completed, payment received, silver and goods both settled. 」

「Fuck! 」

This time this vulgarity wasn't blurted out by Xie Jingting, but by the skinning ghost.

Because this reminded her of her own pair of 1.0 vision big doe eyes, which were just dug out by someone!

Tushan Jiu felt her anger, coldly said: "Your grudge has already been personally avenged; after having your fun, not going to the underworld, you continuing to harm people here is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"

"Heh, just an indebted swordsman; if this were ancient times, the two of us, I'd be a great general, you at most a weak scholar with no strength to truss a chicken...... ah!"

Before the skinning ghost could finish speaking, Tushan Jiu threw a pair of scissors, directly pinning her to the armored door of Chen You nan's bedroom.

The skinning ghost let out a miserable scream, then was fixed to the door by five golden rings of light, unable to move.

Tushan Jiu clapped her hands, turned to Chen You nan and said: "Come on, take a close look and see how this differs from the painting-skin ghost you saw before."

After saying that, she tilted her head again, saying to Chen You nan's friends hiding behind her: "You guys take a look too; I recall just now someone said they saw a demon, right?"

Everyone was now honest, frantically shaking their heads.

What they were thinking at this moment was, from now on they must never provoke Xie Shiyu's fiancée; this is really holding a grudge, isn't it!

Seeing them so timid, this time it was Tushan Jiu's turn to snort in disdain.

"Alright, making sure no one's watching, right? Then I'll take it—opportunity lost never comes again; pass this village and there's no such shop."

Everyone took a deep breath; this opportunity, whoever wants it can take it; this shop, whoever wants to enter can enter; they regret being dogs.

Tushan Jiu shook her head, looking regretful, took out a talisman, and with her index and middle fingers together drew two motions on the talisman paper.

They shockingly witnessed a miraculous scene.

A golden light shone on the skinning ghost's body, and then, just like in a movie, the skinning ghost seemed to be sucked in by a huge suction force, disappearing before their eyes.

Tushan Jiu casually slipped the talisman into her pocket, turned to look at Chen You nan still sitting on the ground, dazed, and said: "You lost; remember to do a headstand and eat feces."

Chen You nan was helped up by the recovered butler, his face flushed red with embarrassment and anger, he said: "It's too late, I want to sleep; the party's over, you all get out; other matters we'll discuss tomorrow."

While saying that, he stole a glance at Tushan Jiu, seeing her looking at him with contempt, he suddenly stiffened his neck: "Butler Xu, tomorrow prepare a generous gift to send to the Xie Family as a thank-you."

Xie Jingting and the others instantly sneered, "Eh~ you can't afford to play, you little trash."

Tushan Jiu said nothing; her only action was lowering her head to rummage in her pocket.

Chen You nan's eyes widened instantly.

Because the skinning ghost was stuffed in that pocket of hers.

In an instant Chen You nan knelt before Tushan Jiu: "I was wrong, Master Tushan; I shouldn't have harbored ill thoughts toward you; I realize my mistake; from now on you are my elder brother, I am your younger brother; you tell me to go east, I will never go west; please don't take that thing out, she's a ghost after all!"

Tushan Jiu stopped her action, seriously thought, and said: "If you don't want to eat feces, that's fine; tomorrow you run ten laps on the Nan Cheng sports field, shouting while you run, 'I am a defeated subordinate of Xie Jingting, I will never surpass Xie Jingting in this life.'"

Hearing that, Chen You nan hesitated a moment.

Tushan Jiu lowered her head and rummaged in her pocket.

He also couldn't care less about that, hurriedly nodding frantically.

At worst, I'll go study abroad at a foreign university; it's still better than being skinned and having tendons pulled.

Tushan Jiu was satisfied, and raised her eyebrows at Xie Jingzhou and Xie Jingting.

In this battle, Tushan Jiu directly made most of the Nan Cheng rich second-generation circle successfully remember her.

Moreover, their evaluation of her was all 'the person you must not provoke.'

The next morning, Tushan Jiu went to the office again.

But this time she didn't go in.

After all, she'd have to walk around back later, which is a hassle.

Xie Shiyu's car was waiting for her not far away.

Have the gatekeeper old gentleman notify Liu Li to 'sign for receipt'.

When that old gentleman heard that Tushan Jiu was coming to deliver the skinning ghost, he instantly showed the expression of looking at someone else's child.

Tushan Jiu gave a polite smile.

After the notification here, Liu Li rushed out at top speed.

Tushan Jiu didn't know that yesterday's numerology manifestation had already successfully made Liu Li become her little admirer.

If it weren't for the indebted swordsman not being passed on, he would definitely want to take her as his teacher.

Handing the talisman to Liu Li, she said: "Inside is that skinning ghost; I've also cleared the yin energy of the ancient dress; before possessing the dress, she had killed a person, whose corpse was abandoned at......"

Tushan Jiu always strives for perfection in her business, because she doesn't want to have to provide after-sales service.

This skinning ghost died horribly and innocently, but if she hadn't taken revenge, Tushan Jiu wouldn't have meddled; however, her grudge was already settled three years ago, and in the three years since, she's actually become addicted to skinning!

After a person dies, the seven corporeal souls scatter, and the seven emotions and six desires are gone.

Therefore, most ghosts already lack humanity.

Especially those past the first seven days; next are the third seven, fifth seven, up to the final anniversary.

The longer the time, the faster their humanity wears away.

Just as many people after death will miss their living relatives; at this time the grave-guarding soul, that is the human soul, will return home to have a look.

But they don't know that the heavy yin qi on their bodies after death will bring bad things to their relatives, do they?

They naturally know that, ah.

But their humanity is already so weak that they won't think about these things; they only want to achieve their own goals.

For example, some elderly people after death will miss their grandchildren and youngsters; then the human soul doesn't go to its own grave, but follows the children, and the children will inexplicably fall ill from prolonged exposure to yin qi.

There are many examples of this sort.

And like this skinning ghost before us, her obsession is to take revenge, and also to make that perverted killer, just as she was before death, be flayed alive; she successfully evaded the underworld's yin officials and the worldly affairs office's constables, and finally achieved her goal.

But consequently, her stay in the mortal realm was too long; in the process of revenge she lost her last shred of humanity, and fell in love with the act of killing her enemy—skinning.

For ghosts who have completely lost their humanity, Tushan Jiu never reasons with them; she goes straight in with one word—fuck!

Liu Li here almost wanted to cry—this professional skill is incredibly strong.

He gave Tushan Jiu the thirty lollipops made from ghost power extracted overnight, and for this he specially found a soft pink bag to put them in.

Tushan Jiu had brought a backpack especially for today; after taking the lollipops, she pulled out a thick white-covered notebook from it and opened it.

She wasn't holding a pen in her hand; she merely brushed two fingers lightly together on the latest page, then looked up and told Liu Li, "The transaction is over, payment received, goods and money settled."

Liu Li stared blankly and nodded.

After Tushan Jiu got into the car and left, he muttered:

"I heard she's not yet twenty-two, so she can't take the exam—what a ridiculous rule in the underworld! In the mortal world, eighteen-year-olds can take all kinds of exams, yet they insist on twenty-two for her. Can't they make a special exception for a genius like her?"
