Chapter 137: The Paths of Human and Ghost Diverge

Zhang Wei subdued the female ghost, then found a budget hotel to stay in; as for the female ghost his grand-uncle-master had ordered him to resolve, he felt it wasn't a big problem anyway, so he decided to rest a bit and go look for it tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wei released a paper crane and followed it to the bottom of an apartment building.

Soon, he saw the paper crane hovering in front of two men.

One man was tall and sturdy but looked not very bright, while the other looked thick-browed and big-eyed, with regular features and was quite handsome.

Neither of them could see the paper crane, and the paper crane kept circling above the more handsome man.

Zhang Wei immediately withdrew his spell and walked up to the man; taking a closer look, this person had indeed become entangled in a karmic bond with a female ghost.

A Bo saw a man even more handsome than himself walking over and staring at him, feeling a chill; he hurriedly said, "Hey, why are you staring at me?"

The big fool next to him immediately started shouting "Ah, ah, ah," as if trying to intimidate Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand, I just see that you are tainted with Yin energy; you must have encountered a ghost last night."

Upon hearing this, A Bo only found it funny and immediately said, "Oh, I didn't expect you to have learned how to swindle people at such a young age; what time do you think it is? You're still spouting this kind of nonsense.

Why don't you go ask around who I, A Bo, am? You want to trick me with these petty scams? Keep dreaming!"

Zhang Wei shook his head slightly and immediately said, "Did you meet a very beautiful girl on the bridge last night?"

A Bo glanced at Zhang Wei with some suspicion, thinking to himself: How does this kid know I met a girl from the mainland last night?

Impossible, he must be making it up; how could that mainland girl be a female ghost?

At this moment, the big fool next to him pulled A Bo and started walking outside, and A Bo happened to hear the sound of a car pulling up.

He didn't care about Zhang Wei and immediately walked out, only to see his girlfriend, A-Mei, kissing a four-eyed guy inside a car.

A Bo was furious and immediately rushed forward to slap the car, shouting, "A-Mei, get out of the car!"

The four-eyed guy said very impatiently, "Where did this little punk come from? Get lost."

A Bo immediately walked to the driver's side, dragged the four-eyed guy out of the car, and slapped him a few times.

Fearing she would be hit, A-Mei hurriedly got out of the car and ran upstairs, and A Bo immediately turned around and chased after her.

Soon, A Bo and the big fool came back down, cursing and swearing.

Upstairs, A-Mei packed the things A Bo had given her into a bag and threw them all down.

She took off the dress she was wearing right on the balcony and threw it down.

Zhang Wei looked up and couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly wealthy and generous."

Seeing that Zhang Wei was still there, A Bo immediately barked, "Hey, kid, are you here to watch me make a fool of myself?"

Zhang Wei hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Of course not, I am just reminding you that your luck has been quite poor lately."

"Pfft!" A Bo didn't believe it at all; he just felt that this kid in front of him was a Monday-morning quarterback.

However, having been dumped by A-Mei and looked down upon for having no future, he didn't feel good inside, so he went to a nearby convenience store, bought plenty of alcohol, and walked home while drinking.

Just as he reached the elevator downstairs, he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

After entering the elevator, he lay directly on the floor.

Seeing that A Bo's condition wasn't good, Wei Xiaodie immediately manifested herself in front of A Bo.

Dazed and confused about the situation, A Bo saw Wei Xiaodie and murmured, "Mainland girl."

Wei Xiaodie immediately helped A Bo home, changed his clothes for him, and tidied up the house while she was at it.

She had just finished wiping the floor in A Bo's room when A Bo woke up, and it just so happened that Sai Jinhua returned at that moment.

As soon as Sai Jinhua went upstairs, she saw that young man who exorcised ghosts standing at her own door.

Her heart fluttered, and she secretly thought: Is this person here to find me?

She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Hello, are you here to find me?"

Zhang Wei looked back and saw it was the Daoist nun who had been catching ghosts last night; he asked in confusion, "You live here?"

Sai Jinhua nodded and said, "Yes, this is my place."

Zhang Wei was even more confused now, so he asked, "A man also lives in your home?"

Sai Jinhua hurriedly explained, "That is my cousin."

Zhang Wei nodded slightly and said, "So that's how it is. Since you are also a member of the Profound Gate, I will be direct with you: your cousin has encountered a female ghost, and there is an ill-fated karmic connection between them."

"What?" Sai Jinhua was shocked; she hadn't expected her cousin to have encountered a female ghost, yet she hadn't sensed it before.

She immediately said, "My cousin has been living at my place for a while now. If it were an ordinary minor ghost, I would have been able to tell at a glance, but until last night, I hadn't discovered anything."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Correct, the problem started last night."

Sai Jinhua hurriedly asked, "Does Senior Brother think my cousin is in danger?"

Zhang Wei shook his head slightly and said, "I have already looked at his physiognomy; he has great fortune, and this time it is just a scare without real harm, but he will lose some lifespan."

Sai Jinhua said anxiously, "Please, Senior Brother, help him."

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "I am here to help, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here."

Sai Jinhua was delighted and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, inviting Zhang Wei in to sit.

As soon as the two walked into the room, they saw a dress floating in mid-air.

Wei Xiaodie, who had been planning to try on the dress, saw the two people enter, hurriedly put the dress down, and stood there without moving.

Sai Jinhua was somewhat surprised; seeing that Zhang Wei's expression remained normal, she turned around and silently recited, "Spiritual light opens the eyes to see the strange!"

She closed the room door, looked back to see Wei Xiaodie standing by the table, and immediately said, "Senior Brother, please sit for a moment, I will go call my cousin out."

Zhang Wei said calmly, "Alright."

Sai Jinhua hurriedly called out, "Cousin, did you bring someone back?"

A Bo immediately replied loudly, "Yes, Cousin."

As he spoke, A Bo walked out of the room and immediately saw Zhang Wei sitting there.

His expression changed, and he stepped forward, saying, "Oh, it's you! You really are persistent, chasing me to my home to scam me?"

Just as Sai Jinhua was about to step forward to explain, Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "I know you don't believe me. How about this: I will be here for these next few days, and when the time comes, whether I am right or not will naturally become clear."

He looked at Wei Xiaodie to the side and asked with a slightly playful tone, "This pretty girl doesn't look like a local."

A Bo hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Wei Xiaodie, and said, "You must have seen wrong."

Seeing the intimate behavior between A Bo and that female ghost, Sai Jinhua felt a bit jealous in her heart.

She immediately asked, "I wonder where you are from, pretty girl?"

Wei Xiaodie looked at A Bo, A Bo then looked at Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Feel free to speak, I won't go around blabbing."

Wei Xiaodie then said, "I come from the Pagoda Gate."

Sai Jinhua asked again, "Then do you have a name?"

Wei Xiaodie nodded and said, "My name is Wei Xiaodie."

"What?" Sai Jinhua was secretly shocked and immediately pressed, "Which 'Wei'?"

Although Wei Xiaodie was a bit confused, she still said, "The 'Wei' composed of 'commission' and 'ghost'."

"'Wei'?" Sai Jinhua narrowed her eyes and muttered, "So it is you!"

Seeing that Sai Jinhua's expression was wrong, and that this man before her and A Bo's cousin both seemed able to see her, Wei Xiaodie knew they were definitely not ordinary people.

She immediately said, "I will be leaving first."

A Bo hurriedly asked, "Hey, Xiaodie, have you found a place to stay?"

Wei Xiaodie casually made up an excuse and said, "I have relatives here, I have a place to stay."

Having said that, she left immediately.

Once Wei Xiaodie was gone, Sai Jinhua said with a sense of frustration, "Cousin, you really have been bewitched by a ghost."

A Bo did not believe in this sort of thing, so he said with a grin, "Bewitched by a ghost? That sounds quite exciting."

After saying this, he returned to his own room.

Sai Jinhua immediately looked at Zhang Wei and asked, "Senior Brother, why didn't you strike directly just now?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Rest assured, this female ghost will not harm your cousin; she is here to repay a debt of gratitude, and once the debt is repaid, she will naturally leave."

Sai Jinhua said in a daze, "Then according to what you say, Senior Brother, my cousin is in no danger? But then, Senior Brother... ah... could there be other female ghosts?"

Zhang Wei stood up and said, "Heavenly secrets must not be leaked. I will go first. Rest assured, I am nearby, and if anything happens, I will appear."

Sai Jinhua hurriedly expressed her thanks and said, "Then I will trouble you, Senior Brother."

Zhang Wei left Sai Jinhua's home and immediately found Wei Xiaodie.

Seeing Zhang Wei, who had chased after her, Wei Xiaodie said anxiously, "What do you want? I'm not someone to be bullied."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "I know, you are a ghost, after all."

Wei Xiaodie widened her eyes and said, "You really did know."

Zhang Wei continued, "Wei Xiaodie, humans and ghosts follow different paths. There will be no good outcome for you and A Bo being together. It is best if you repay your debt of gratitude early and go for reincarnation."

Wei Xiaodie was even more surprised and thought to herself: How does this person know I am here to repay a debt of gratitude?

He hurriedly said, "I will not do anything detrimental to A Bo."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "I know that, of course, but you must know, what would A Bo's reaction be if he knew you were a ghost? You should consider this carefully yourself."

Watching Zhang Wei leave, Wei Xiaodie began to ponder to herself.

The next evening, A Bo and the Big Fool were just coming out of a shop when they happened to run into A-Mei and her new flame, Brother Bobby.

Bobby immediately said to the two big men beside him, "Xiongmao, these are the two who beat me up yesterday."

The man called Xiongmao immediately stepped forward to grab A Bo. Just as A Bo wanted to resist, the other man shouted, "Don't move, we are plainclothes officers!"

A Bo's expression changed, and he had no choice but to stop.

Brother Bobby and A-Mei watched as Xiongmao and the others dragged A Bo and the Big Fool into a small alley.

Xiongmao used handcuffs to cuff A Bo directly and started acting, saying, "You brat, you dare to hit my brother Bobby? You are really asking for death!"

A Bo let out a miserable cry as he was beaten, thinking to himself that he was done for today.

But the next second, Wei Xiaodie appeared on the stairs. She had already discarded yesterday's clothes and changed into that white dress, transforming herself into an urban beauty.

"Why are you all hitting A Bo!"

Hearing the voice, the group hurriedly looked up. When Bobby and Xiongmao saw a great beauty appear, they were instantly stunned.

This made A-Mei very dissatisfied, and she hurriedly asked, "Who are you?"

For the sake of his pride, A Bo immediately said, "Haha, you shrew, do you think you're the only one people want? This is my wife."

Wei Xiaodie hurriedly said, "That's right, who are you?"

A-Mei couldn't take it and mocked, "Are you playing with me? You're even wearing the old junk I didn't want. Brother Bobby, beat her!"

Seeing Wei Xiaodie, who was even prettier than A-Mei, Bobby hurriedly said, "How can one hit a girl? I, Bobby, am very civilized."

Seeing that A Bo had been hit a few times, Wei Xiaodie decided to help A Bo take revenge. She hurriedly said, "You are bullying people too much like this; at the very least, it should be one-on-one."

As she spoke, Wei Xiaodie bewitched Xiongmao and the other man. Under a spell, Xiongmao and his companion went to fight A Bo one-on-one, and were immediately beaten to the ground.

Seeing the situation was bad, Bobby immediately took to his heels and ran.

A Bo immediately laughed mockingly.

Wei Xiaodie hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are you alright?"

A Bo shook his head and said, "What could happen to me? Didn't you see how amazing I was just now?"

Wei Xiaodie hurriedly played along, "That's right, you were so amazing."

The Big Fool was also on the side using sign language.

The three of them immediately left the alley and went to a nearby convenience store to buy something to eat.

Seeing that Wei Xiaodie and A Bo were getting along very happily, the Big Fool very consciously went home.

And A Bo and Wei Xiaodie continued to go on a date on the street.

Soon, there was no one left on the street. Wei Xiaodie hesitated for a moment before saying, "A Bo, do you believe that I am a ghost?"

A Bo hurriedly shook his head and said, "Stop joking, if there were a ghost as pretty as you, I would hold you and kiss, kiss, kiss you."

Wei Xiaodie was very happy; she hurriedly moved closer to A Bo, raised her head, and said happily, "I am a ghost, hurry up and kiss me."

A Bo was full of joy; he was just about to kiss her, but then he stopped and asked, "Wait, you have to prove that you are a ghost."

Wei Xiaodie said with great anticipation, "Then how do I prove it?"

A Bo thought carefully for a moment and said, "Then make a funny face."

Wei Xiaodie hurriedly shook her head as if acting spoiled and said, "Mm, no, that would be ugly to death, and besides, only evil ghosts do that to scare people; I am a good ghost."

A Bo continued after her words, "In that case, then take me flying."

Before A Bo had even finished speaking, Wei Xiaodie took A Bo and flew straight up into the sky, and very quickly landed again.

But upon landing, A Bo's legs went weak, and he screamed in terror.

Wei Xiaodie hurriedly asked, "Was it fun?"

A Bo had a look of lingering fear and said, trembling all over, "I'm not playing anymore, not playing anymore."

Wei Xiaodie continued, "Right, look, I don't have a reflection."

As she spoke, she pulled A Bo to look at the reflection in a puddle on the ground; sure enough, Wei Xiaodie's was not there.

A Bo understood now that Wei Xiaodie had not lied; she really was a ghost.

"I beg you, hurry and take me down, I'm afraid of heights."

Wei Xiaodie saw that A Bo was truly terrified, so she immediately took A Bo and flew back.

As soon as A Bo landed, he immediately apologized and then ran away.

Wei Xiaodie watched the fleeing A Bo, her mood very dejected.

Zhang Wei walked out from the side and said, "See, I told you that if he knew you were a ghost, he would definitely be afraid."

"You should just not appear in front of him, and when you have repaid the favor, just leave; that is for the best."

Wei Xiaodie nodded slightly and said, "Many thanks for your guidance, Master."

Zhang Wei pinched his fingers to calculate and discovered that nothing had changed; he could only shake his head slightly and turn to leave.
