Chapter 1920: Living with Mr. Ghost: Miscellaneous Affairs 36

Jin Chen! You actually turned humans into vengeful ghosts!

The two masters never imagined this would be true, feeling only extraordinary anger.

Even if the ghost king is unbeatable by the current occult community, we absolutely cannot tolerate his arrogance to this extent.

Jin Su also had an imposing demeanor, saying, "Jin Chen, as a former genius ghost hunter, don't you know how terrifying this is?"

Jin Chen: "What a thief shouting 'catch the thief'!"

But the magical implements they jointly unleashed not only failed to harm Jin Chen, but were destroyed to the point of leaving not even scraps.

The two masters, seeing this, still wanted to set up a formation with their bodies, but they saw that Jin Chen, who had just been trapped in the town, had vanished and silently appeared behind Jin Su.

Who gave you the nerve to scheme against me?

You...

Jin Su suddenly felt he had miscalculated.

We should have brought a few more masters.

Jin Chen glanced down coldly at the stiffly turning head of Jin Su, his knuckles hovering to seize his throat, then alertly lifted his eyes, black mist rising to block the two masters rushing forward.

If you don't want to die, get out.

Master Sun roared, "Jin Chen! You signed an agreement with us! You can't lay hands on the disciples of the occult community again!"

Jin Chen tilted his head, "Does the agreement forbid helping my wife take revenge?"

Master Sun: "..."

Who the hell could have imagined this supplementary clause!

In the corner, Xia Tan heard these words, his extremely gloomy eyes flickering slightly, slowly turning toward Jin Chen, somewhat dazed.

In a place unnoticed by anyone, the spiritual essence that should have been united not only failed to separate, but faintly overlapped, with merely the human portion taking the lead.

Over there the fight was completely one-sided; Zhou Li at the door was practically tearing out his hair, "What do we do? Do we fight or not—how could Jin Chen think of turning his wife into a ghost?"

Something's off.

Qian Xiaoqin pulled out the hairpin holding her black hair, pinched it between two fingers and spun it in her palm, instantly turning it into a magical implement which she threw into the air.

Xia Tan suddenly felt a strong light, uncomfortably trying to dodge backward, yet inevitably being irradiated.

Strange...

Qian Xiaoqin looked astonished and doubtful, "I can't see it."

Like a person yet like a ghost.

Jin Chen!! Don't kill him!

The two masters' roars attracted their attention.

All that could be seen was Jin Su severely wounded by yin energy, his usual scheming demeanor now full of fear and regret.

Regretting that he had underestimated Jin Chen's ghost and overestimated Xia Tan's hatred for Jin Chen.

Xia Tan had become a vengeful ghost, yet he didn't go after Jin Chen for revenge!

This step was never part of Jin Su's plan to seize the purple qi, causing every subsequent step to collapse.

How could Jin Su not hate?

"Don't kill me!" Jin Su, able to advance or retreat, had no trace of aristocratic dignity left as his pleas for mercy rang out.

"It… it was those people from the Jin Family who told me this; I was also tricked by them, Xia Tan is standing here perfectly fine—how could I have killed him? Don't be deceived!"

Jin Chen snorted coldly, "Do I look easy to deceive?"

Even such a lowly lie dares to be used for deception.

No… don't kill me…

Jin Su finally felt fear, suddenly catching sight of Xia Tan, and shouting in a desperate, reckless voice, "Don't you want to know why Xia Tan became like this? If you kill me, he can never return…"

His words trailed off.

Jin Chen casually withdrew his hand, letting Jin Su's corpse fall to the ground.

Sorry, my hand was too quick.

Jin Su's eyes stared wide open in death, his death grim and miserable; Jin Chen didn't even give him the chance to become a vengeful ghost, leaving not even a trace of his soul before everyone present.

The two masters watched in silence, sharing the same thought as Jin Su.

They absolutely underestimated Jin Chen's strength.

Even though there had been the prior incident of killing Jin Family members, most people in the occult field still hadn't seen through the true power of this ghost king; it was absolutely beyond their ability to contend with……

At this moment, that agreement seemed utterly ridiculous.

But they had no other recourse.

Jin Chen didn't know what these two were wary of, giving them a strange glance, "Still not leaving? Want to come to my place as guests?"

That won't do, his wife hasn't recovered yet.

Qian Xiaoqin had no choice but to withdraw her probe of Xia Tan, and together with Zhou Li each holding down a master, "Jin Chen hasn't violated the agreement; it's merely revenge, masters, you'd better not interfere."

"No matter which side, one must uphold the agreement."

Jin Chen nodded at the two, "Keep an eye on these people; my family doesn't really welcome them as guests."

"Alright, alright, you can relax." Zhou Li echoed, suppressing his damned curiosity, and led away the two masters whose worldviews had been refreshed to numbness.

It is said that after that day, the stimulated disciples of the occult field all intensified their daily cultivation, daring not to approach the area around Jin Chen's home, and it mysteriously became a safe zone for ghosts.

——

After that, Xia Tan became completely obedient, often recalling in the late night certain things suppressed by yin energy, his spiritual essence gradually merging.

Jin Chen confirmed that his spiritual essence wouldn't be harmed, so he wasn't in a hurry, and he delighted in bullying his easily provoked vengeful-ghost wife.

All day long, the thumping at home was unavoidable; Jin Chen occasionally going out also received subtle hints from upstairs and downstairs.

They suspected Jin Chen of domestic violence.

In fact, Jin Chen, who is frightened by resentful ghosts every day, has nothing to say.

That day, the Bell Signal rang again in the house.

"I live upstairs; we met a couple days ago. I just bought some fruit and wanted to bring some over for you to eat."

The handsome man stood outside the door, holding fresh fruit still wet with water droplets, and had even carefully sliced it.

Jin Chen thought that before Xia Tan recovered, he needed to set up a barrier or something to stop humans from constantly dropping by.

"No need, my lover and I don't really like fruit."

"You and your lover aren't on good terms, right?"

The man gave Jin Chen an ambiguous smile.

Jin Chen: "..."

"I advise you to run away quickly."

Jin Chen sincerely advised.

The next second, Xia Tan, whose yin Qi showed no restraint, suddenly appeared at the wall corner, his dark pupils expanding until there was no sclera, slowly fixing his gaze on the doorway.

The man's expression changed drastically: "Ghost..."

Having just seen the man's ambiguous hint, Xia Tan inexplicably felt irritable, and an overwhelming possessiveness surged like a flood.

"Xiao Tan, don't kill."

Jin Chen promptly embraced Xia Tan, pushed the frightened man lying on the ground out, and shut the Main Gate.

Xia Tan frowned intensely, annoyed, "You're protecting him?"

"... I'm protecting you, idiot."

Jin Chen flicked his forehead: "Your soul is unstable; if your yin Qi gets any heavier, it won't be good for you."

Jin Chen pinched Xia Tan's cheek again: "How do you feel today?"

The purple Qi inside Xia Tan was expelling the yin-Qi-affected part of his soul, making him very uncomfortable.

"Very uncomfortable."

Xia Tan slightly shook his head, feeling as if his soul were about to be torn apart; instinctively he leaned into Jin Chen's embrace, following his lips to kiss—only such intimate contact could slightly calm the purple Qi.

"Help me……"

It was better when he was still human, Xia Tan thought.
