Chapter 1917: Living with Mr. Ghost: Miscellaneous Affairs 33

In the coming time, Lin Qian kept repeatedly proving one thing to Xia Tan.

Jin Su betrayed him, committed infidelity, he didn't want to forgive, so he chose to have a mutually destructive showdown with Jin Su.

And Jin Chen happened to still need revenge.

Xia Tan remained silent, which Lin Qian took as acquiescence; before leaving, Lin Qian grabbed Xia Tan's hand, eyes red, begging him to make sure Jin Su die at Jin Chen's hand.

"Okay, I'll pass that on to Jin Chen."

Xia Tan still smiled as before, patted Lin Qian's shoulder, "Don't get too worked up."

This let Lin Qian breathe a huge sigh of relief, end the topic and leave.

Watching Lin Qian's retreating back, Xia Tan's smile vanished from his eyes, and the image of Lin Qian leaving the bar with an excuse that day faintly overlapped in his mind.

Xia Tan closed his eyes, then opened them to find his handsome brows expressionless; he finally curled up in the blanket, thinking he seemed a bit aloof.

But it didn't matter.

He could not accept Lin Qian's renewed overtures without grudge, nor could he accept Lin Qian using Jin Chen as a tool.

But…… whether Jin Su had really harmed Jin Chen before was important.

As an employee of the Investigation Society, Xia Tan wanted to investigate metaphysical matters more than Lin Qian could uncover.

But for some reason, after Lin Qian left, Xia Tan constantly felt uneasy.

Xia Tan again became alert, lifted his head, scanned the surroundings, but found nothing.

Yet this feeling of being watched like a shadow constantly covered this place.

This made Xia Tan feel an unprecedented discomfort, his mind grew restless, and he felt hostile.

And……

A faint sense of familiarity transmitted from deep within his soul.

Xia Tan suddenly clutched his chest, unable to stop his rapid breathing.

At the same time, the water-side cup-floating.

Qian Xiaoqin and Zhou Xi, as representatives of the new generation of metaphysical aristocratic families, and as old friends of the Ghost King Jin Chen, personally supervised his signing of an agreement requiring a soul as pledge.

Afterward, Jin Chen could no longer arbitrarily harm the aristocratic youths; in return, they would reduce their surveillance of Jin Chen, bringing peace to both sides.

Although Jin Chen thought they were worrying needlessly.

He wasn't idle enough to have a perverse psychology that made him kill people every day.

Zhou Xi repeatedly examined the agreement, sighing: "Amazing, I've also done something great!"

Jin Chen and Qian Xiaoqin exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked away speechless.

Ling Gun Gun shot out, bounced on Jin Chen's shoulder, the balloon-sized ball of light vigorous and lively.

【Oh no, Host! The Main God seems off at home! Please go back and see!】

"But don't worry, even if we become ghosts, we're still good brothers… ow!"

Zhou Xi was about to come over to pat Jin Chen's shoulder, but suddenly missed, hearing only Jin Chen's concise words from nearby.

"Something at home, see you later."

Zhou Xi almost fell, but Qian Xiaoqin pulled him up, dazedly watching the direction Jin Chen vanished, "What's he up to?"

Qian Xiaoqin tossed fish food into the narrow carp pond, "If something's wrong at home, it can only be his precious boyfriend; who else could it be?"

Zhou Xi rolled up the agreement and patted his palm, "Indeed, after all, the Jin family hardly has anyone left."

He didn't realize at all that he'd just made a hellish joke.

——

Jin Chen returned home, looked around but saw no one, puzzled and called out: "Xiao Tan?"

Suddenly!

Jin Chen turned back, heard a slight rustling at the wall corner, quickened his steps toward it, but then abruptly stopped, his pupils slightly contracting.

His wife was not quite right.

Xia Tan crouched in the corner in a strange posture, lifted his eyes gloomily, black mist swirling around him, handsome and coldly beautiful like a ghost.

【Warning!!】

The system voice suddenly appeared in Jin Chen's mind, very urgent.

【Warning!! Detected original plot vengeful spirit fierce ghost flashing!! Recalculating Villain Blackening Value…… Blackening Value 100! Please Host stay safe!】

Jin Chen: "……"

In just a few seconds, Jin Chen recalled the original plot's villain's ending, his eye corner twitching slightly.

When Xia Tan saw Jin Chen, deep black eyes burst with fierce resentment, pupils spreading over the whites, he slowly rose and walked toward him, steps quickening.

Jin Chen slowly stepped back, thinking of a solution, his raised fingertip emanating primal spiritual power.

But just as the spiritual fire was about to engulf and burn, Xia Tan sensed danger, lifted his head, and gazed deeply into Jin Chen's eyes.

"Do you want to kill me?"

It seemed as if voices overlapped, both a resentful question and a helpless plea to his lover.

Jin Chen's motion halted in place.

Ling Gun Gun timidly rolled over, speaking extremely fast.

【Host! Don't kill, don't kill, please confirm again who this is!】

Jin Chen had originally intended to burn the original plot villain's soul to death, but hearing this, he once again probed Xia Tan's eyes brimming with resentment and killing intent; upon contact, their spiritual powers touched.

"... Husband?"

Jin Chen puzzled, his attacking motion instantly softened, he grabbed Xia Tan's struggling wrist, "Xia Tan!"

Xia Tan's expression somewhat mad, he lifted his black eyes, fixed on Jin Chen, unable to stop wanting to tear and bite him.

"Jin, Chen."

Xia Tan's voice was extremely low, each utterance filled with deep hatred: "You all want to harm me, you all want to harm me…… What did I do wrong!"

The current Xia Tan is the wronged soul who was driven mad by a fierce ghost in the original plot and then strangled to death in a livestream.

The urgent priority is to stabilize Xia Tan.

Jin Chen's lowered brows and eyes revealed sharpness as he exuded a richer ghost king's yin energy, forcefully suppressing the yin energy that was running amok everywhere.

"Uh..."

Xia Tan uttered painful groans from his throat, unable to resist as he gradually knelt; the next second Jin Chen scooped him up horizontally, and the ghost king's yin energy turned into chains that bound Xia Tan in midair, even sealing his mouth, leaving him unable to struggle or bite.

After confirming it was still his wife, Jin Chen wasn't as fierce as before; he lowered his head and said, not too lightly nor heavily: "Behave, don't move around."

Jin Chen locked Xia Tan onto the master bedroom's large bed; in the struggle, Xia Tan's knee struck his waist, and Jin Chen reflexively slapped his buttocks.

Xia Tan first froze, then widened his eyes in disbelief that this ghost would spank him—hadn't the previous torment been enough! Now he even had to become a dead pervert!

"Mmm!! Mmm…!"

Jin Chen knew without listening that it wasn't anything good.

He stood at the bedside, frowning as he rubbed his brow.

Actually, there were still clues to follow.

Over the past few nights, Xia Tan constantly had nightmares and, to some extent, had developed a habit of sleepwalking while choking necks.

I never expected that the wronged soul from the original plot was gradually reviving.

The 100% Blackening Value made Xia Tan unusually irritable; taking advantage of Jin Chen's contemplation, he exerted all his strength to break free of the ghost king's yin energy and lunged forward.

"Kill you, kill you! I've become a ghost—you won't get off easy either!"

Xia Tan now has no rationality whatsoever.

Jin Chen's eyes likewise clouded with gloom; he easily subdued Xia Tan, actually pressing him down on the bed, the ghost energy running wild and extremely dangerous.

"Xia Tan, behave a bit."

The response was Xia Tan's sharp teeth sinking fiercely into his shoulder.

Jin Chen's body stiffened slightly, yet he instead felt Xia Tan's slight tremor; his eyes instantly brightened as he thought of a method.

Even if the fierce ghost's soul returns, the body nourished by purple qi remains unchanged.

Xia Tan remained as sensitive as ever.
