Chapter 138: Infatuated Men and Resentful Women

~15 min read 2,855 words

"Infatuated men and resentful women."

Zhang Wei was sheltering from the rain under the eaves, watching Wei Xiaodie offer a newspaper to A-Bo, who was out in the rain, so he could shield himself.

However, the big simpleton was already soaked to the bone.

Unfortunately, she dared not appear before A-Bo now; she was afraid that if A-Bo saw her, he would run away.

Zhang Wei shook his head slightly; he couldn't quite understand why his Grand Uncle-Master wanted him to do these things.

He had been in contact with Jin Maiji these past few days; over a hundred people with special abilities had already gathered on Lamma Island, and more were still on their way.

The assembly square on Lamma Island would take some time to finish, and it was estimated that there would be at least two or three hundred people by the time the assembly opened, which would be troublesome then.

Seeing A-Bo leave and Wei Xiaodie still watching him infatuatedly in the rain, Zhang Wei opened his umbrella and walked over, saying, "What, have you really fallen in love with him?"

Wei Xiaodie nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I love him very much."

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "There will be no result for you two. Once you have repaid your debt of gratitude, you must go to be reincarnated."

I'll give you a piece of advice: don't get too deeply involved with him, lest you go to be reincarnated only for A-Bo to remain unmarried for the rest of his life, ending up lonely and old."

Wei Xiaodie hurriedly shook her head and said, "I won't harm A-Bo; I'll just watch him from afar like this, and that will be enough."

Zhang Wei did not try to persuade her further and said casually, "Suit yourself, but don't regret it when the time comes."

Wei Xiaodie immediately nodded and said, "I won't, I definitely won't."

Seeing that the rain had stopped, Zhang Wei immediately closed his umbrella and left.

A few days later, the big simpleton Liu Chisan was captured by someone, and A-Bo immediately found the boss of his company.

The boss did not want to spend money to save Liu Chisan, so A-Bo, in a fit of rage, punched the boss directly and left the company.

Naturally, A-Bo would not give up on the big simpleton Liu Chisan, and he actually thought of a plan.

After leaving the company, he went to a roadside shop and bought two toy pistols, then found the gang leader who had captured Liu Chisan.

The leader was eating inside a Japanese-style izakaya, and A-Bo charged in alone holding the two toy guns.

On the other side, Sai Jinhua had been waiting for Zhang Wei to make a move, and she could feel that Wei Xiaodie was always appearing in A-Bo's room.

So, she immediately called her master, Tang Jian, to discuss countermeasures.

It just so happened that on this day, she and Tang Jian set up an array and trapped Wei Xiaodie in the house.

Wei Xiaodie felt extremely panicked and hurriedly said, "Don't do it, A-Bo is in danger."

Sai Jinhua naturally did not believe her; she snorted coldly and said, "You are truly full of ghost stories, don't think you can trick us!"

Tang Jian also said, "You are now controlled by my Seven-Star Lamp Array; if you dare to break through by force, you will inevitably damage your three souls and seven spirits.

I advise you to surrender now, otherwise, even if you go to be reincarnated, you will not be able to be human."

Wei Xiaodie was extremely anxious and hurriedly shouted, "Master, please help me."

Tang Jian laughed and said, "Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will help you."

"Wow, what a grand formation."

Zhang Wei pushed open the door and walked in, looking quite surprised at the array set up by Tang Jian and Sai Jinhua.

Tang Jian immediately recognized Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei waved his hand, saying, "Master Tang, you are at such an age, stop fussing and just let it go."

Sai Jinhua asked unwillingly, "Senior Brother, why are you speaking up for this female ghost?"

Zhang Wei sighed and said, "Sai Jinhua, why must you be so obsessed? You and your cousin are not fated to be together.

Wei Xiaodie is here to repay a debt of gratitude and will not harm your cousin; once she has repaid the debt, she will go to the Underworld to be reincarnated, and perhaps she will continue her fate with your cousin in the next life."

Sai Jinhua felt resentful in her heart, but knowing that Heaven's will could not be defied, she threw away the yellow talisman in her hand.

Zhang Wei immediately stepped forward and extinguished the Seven-Star Lamps.

He looked at Wei Xiaodie and said, "Take your umbrella and go save A-Bo."

Sai Jinhua was shocked and said, "My cousin is really in danger?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."

Wei Xiaodie immediately picked up an umbrella, and Zhang Wei instantly took her into the umbrella, then left the room to go rescue A-Bo.

At this moment, A-Bo had already rescued Liu Chisan, but the big simpleton Liu Chisan grabbed a toy gun and wanted to kill the gang leader, only for it to be revealed that the gun in his hand was fake.

The underlings in the room immediately realized they had been tricked and, in a fit of shame and anger, drew their blades to hack at A-Bo and Liu Chisan.

A-Bo and Liu Chisan were only two people after all; after fighting with a group of underlings for a few minutes, A-Bo was grabbed and pushed onto a table.

An underling took a brazier and pressed it onto his back, causing him to struggle violently in pain.

The gang leader sneered, "Flip him over."

Several underlings immediately flipped A-Bo over and dragged him before the leader.

The gang leader smeared some of the blood from A-Bo's face, drew a circle on his stomach, and then raised a katana high, preparing to perform a seppuku.

At the critical moment, the umbrella hiding Wei Xiaodie's soul appeared and knocked the gang leader to the ground.

The oil-paper umbrella immediately opened and spun rapidly, forcing the surrounding underlings back.

Wei Xiaodie immediately appeared and picked up the incapacitated A-Bo, wanting to leave.

But there was still a group of hoodlums blocking the way.

Wei Xiaodie hardened her heart and directly controlled the objects in the room to fly and smash into those hoodlums.

Seeing the objects in the room floating, this group of people was terrified and hurriedly crowded around their leader to flee.

Wei Xiaodie still wanted to take A-Bo away, but the movement just now had exhausted her strength, and she collapsed into A-Bo's arms.

A-Bo said in surprise, "Xiaodie, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Xiaodie said in great pain, "I was burned by my cousin's magic; I'm not going to make it."

A-Bo was extremely anxious; he knew his cousin was learning Daoist arts from Tang Jian, and he thought to himself that he could only seek help from Tang Jian.

But before he could move, someone blocked their path.

Watanabe Taro looked at Wei Xiaodie in A-Bo's arms and sneered, "How bold, even after your soul has scattered, you still dare to come to my shop to cause trouble; none of you are leaving."

A-Bo said in a panic, "Who are you!"

"Nine Chrysanthemums Sect?" Zhang Wei walked in slowly.

Just now was Wei Xiaodie's act of repaying a debt of gratitude, so he did not intervene; he had seen the mark of the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect at the izakaya and came over to take a look, not expecting to actually encounter them.

Watanabe Taro turned his head to look at the Zhang Wei who had walked in, frowned slightly, and said, "Who are you?"

Zhang Wei laughed and said, "The one who is going to kill you!"

As soon as his voice fell, he pulled out an Eight Trigrams Mirror and shot a golden light directly at Watanabe Taro.

Watanabe Taro did not expect this turn of events; in his panic, he failed to dodge the strike and was hit directly in the shoulder.

"Ah!"

Watanabe Taro let out a cry of pain, hurriedly threw a smoke bomb, and then disappeared into the smoke.

Zhang Wei immediately said, "What are you still looking at? Hurry up and take Wei Xiaodie away."

A-Bo nodded hurriedly, picked up Wei Xiaodie, and left.

Zhang Wei took out a compass to locate Watanabe Taro.

"Boom!"

In a side compartment, a puppet rushed out; Zhang Wei was lax in his defense and was hit in the back by its punch.

Zhang Wei let out a cry of pain and hurriedly did a somersault on the ground to put some distance between them.

He thought to himself that the terrain inside the room was cramped, there were many rooms, and the corridors were narrow; the opponent was more familiar with this place, which was highly disadvantageous for him.

He immediately pulled out several Divine Fire Talismans and threw them out; a large fire instantly ignited between him and the puppet.

Zhang Wei rushed out of the room without hesitation and ran out of the izakaya.

Watanabe Taro controlled the puppet and also ran out of the burning izakaya.

Just as he appeared, Zhang Wei pulled out a Seven-Star Copper Sword and slashed; the puppet immediately reached out to block and had its arm cut off directly.

Following that, Zhang Wei slashed horizontally with his sword, cutting off the puppet's head and exposing the Ice Talisman inside.

Seeing that Zhang Wei was so formidable, Watanabe Taro did not dare to fight anymore and wanted to flee; Xiao Xin immediately threw a Five-Thunder Talisman given by his grand-martial uncle, and a bolt of heavenly lightning struck Watanabe Taro directly, leaving no bones behind.

Such a commotion naturally caused fear among the surrounding people, and many called the police, but they did not see the specific situation.

A patrol officer on the street immediately ran over; seeing Zhang Wei, he immediately raised his gun and said loudly, "Raise your hands!"

Zhang Wei immediately pulled out his credentials and shouted, "Don't be agitated, I'm one of your own. My name is Zhang Wei, and I am a probationary inspector from headquarters."

The patrol officer stepped forward to look, and it was indeed one of his own.

Zhang Wei immediately said, "You must evacuate the crowd immediately and collect that corpse."

The patrol officer immediately saluted and said, "Yes, sir!"

Zhang Wei left immediately after handing the mess over to the patrol officer.

Soon, he arrived at Sai Jinhua's home; A-Bo had already taken the lead and brought Wei Xiaodie home.

At this moment, Wei Xiaodie had recovered some of her spirit, but she was still very weak.

Especially since she had already repaid her debt of gratitude, she did not have much time left to stay here.

Upon learning that Wei Xiaodie had truly saved A-Bo, Sai Jinhua was very moved and apologized to Wei Xiaodie.

Wei Xiaodie also knew that Sai Jinhua was doing it for A-Bo's sake, so she did not blame her; instead, she began to chat with her.

Soon, Wei Xiaodie told Sai Jinhua about her background; Sai Jinhua was soft-hearted, and upon hearing that Wei Xiaodie had a hard life, she felt very pitiful for her in her heart.

She asked, "Do you have any other grievances?"

With a glimmer of hope in her eyes, Wei Xiaodie said, "I want to go shopping during the day once."

Sai Jinhua frowned and said, "But with your condition, I'm afraid that's very difficult."

A-Bo hurriedly said, "Cousin, please ask Master Tang to help."

Tang Jian, who was on the side, immediately refused, saying, "That won't do, I can't do that. I've been catching ghosts for decades; you're actually asking me to help her? Are you sick?"

Sai Jinhua hurriedly said, "Master, Xiaodie is very pitiful. She is about to go for reincarnation, and this is her only wish now; please just help her."

Tang Jian shook his head very firmly.

Sai Jinhua turned and said, "Master, you wouldn't be unable to do it, would you? If you can't, I'll ask Martial Brother for help."

Tang Jian acted as if his tail had been stepped on and shouted loudly, "Who says I can't? This kind of thing is a piece of cake; as long as someone is willing to shorten their lifespan by ten years, I can help."

A-Bo immediately said, "I can do it, I have plenty of lifespan anyway."

Zhang Wei sighed and said, "Alright, stop arguing."

As he spoke, he took out a gourd and said, "Grand-martial uncle must have calculated today long ago, right?"

Having said that, he opened the gourd, and a breath of energy rushed out from inside, striking directly into Wei Xiaodie's body.

Wei Xiaodie's somewhat illusory body immediately solidified, appearing no different from a real person.

Seeing that Wei Xiaodie's body was better, Zhang Wei put the gourd away.

Seeing this gourd, Tang Jian was very surprised and said, "There is actually a magic treasure; I haven't seen one in a long time."

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter. Alright, now that Wei Xiaodie's body is better, you can find someone to possess and go shopping."

A-Bo said with some worry, "I still have to find someone willing to be possessed."

Zhang Wei shrugged his shoulders; he could not help with this matter.

However, A-Bo soon thought of a way, which was to let Wei Xiaodie possess his cousin Sai Jinhua.

Although Sai Jinhua was a bit resistant after seeing the dress, she still agreed when she thought about being able to go shopping in Tsim Sha Tsui East with her cousin.

During the day, Wei Xiaodie needed to possess someone, but at night, A-Bo could date Wei Xiaodie directly.

However, good times did not last long; A-Bo's ex-girlfriend A-Mei came to find him. The Bobby-ge that A-Mei was following was about to immigrate, but he did not take A-Mei with him.

But now A-Mei was pregnant, so she needed A-Bo's help.

But now A-Bo only thought about dating Wei Xiaodie, and as for A-Mei, he showed absolutely no mercy.

This A-Mei did not know where she learned that hanging oneself at the dead of night while wearing red clothes would turn one into a Vengeful Ghost.

That night, she held a black cat and called A-Bo.

As soon as A-Bo heard it was A-Mei's voice, he said impatiently, "Stop coming to find me."

A-Mei said coldly, "I'm telling you, if you don't come to find me within fifteen minutes, I will die for you to see."

"My death won't be ordinary; I've already asked someone, if I wear red clothes, red pants, and embroidered shoes, and commit suicide by hanging at the dead of night, I will become a Vengeful Ghost, and even as a ghost, I won't let you go!"

A-Bo's mentality was somewhat collapsing, and he hurriedly said, "Why must you do it like this?"

But before he could say much more, A-Mei hung up the phone.

Wei Xiaodie immediately advised, "You should go see her."

A-Bo had no choice but to take a car to the apartment where A-Mei was; seeing A-Bo had arrived, A-Mei immediately went to the bathroom and struck a pose as if hanging herself.

As a result, that black cat gave her a fright, causing her to lose her footing, and she hung herself in the washroom.

Because of the elevator, A-Bo arrived late; when he reached A-Mei's home and looked, A-Mei was already dead.

A-Bo was greatly startled and hurriedly ran back to tell Sai Jinhua about this matter.

Sai Jinhua immediately went to ask Tang Jian for help, and Tang Jian said with great worry, "This ghost is too fierce; I'm afraid I cannot deal with it."

"I calculated that I would have a tribulation this year; it seems it is this time."

"Cough, cough."

Zhang Wei appeared at the opportune moment.

Sai Jinhua immediately ran over, beaming with joy, and shouted, "Senior Brother, you must help!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "Of course I am here to help; it is just a newly formed Grudge Ghost, which is easy to deal with. When the time comes, you are responsible for luring her out, and I will handle her."

Tang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With a fellow Daoist helping, then I am relieved."

Zhang Wei asked, "Hey, A-Bo, where did your ex-girlfriend like to be?"

A-Bo hurriedly said, "I know, she liked to dance disco at nightclubs."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Good, when she returns for her soul-calling on the seventh day after death, she will definitely appear in the place she likes; we will just wait for her there."
