Chapter 7: Beating a Ghost Bare - Handed

Feng Chengyuan suddenly turned around and came face - to - face with a bluish - purple face.

The female ghost's face was swollen, and dark, eerie qi continuously emanated from her body. Her black pupils were extremely small, and her neck tilted forward at an extremely strange angle. Her white long dress was tattered. A puddle of water quickly gathered where she stood.

The stinky and cold air rushed towards him. Feng Chengyuan was briefly shocked, but instead of running away immediately, he remained standing in place in his original posture.

The female ghost's face was extremely close as she said in a ghostly voice, "Why don't you run?"

Feng Chengyuan frowned. "Why should I run?"

The female ghost:???

"Big brother, I'm a ghost! Shouldn't you run??"

Feng Chengyuan thought for a moment and seriously asked, "You say you're a ghost. Do you know what a ghost is?"

The female ghost was stumped and honestly shook her head.

"Let me tell you. From a scientific perspective, a ghost is the energy formed by a person's obsession before death, and this energy coincides with the Earth's magnetic field at an extremely coincidental time and place." Feng Chengyuan paused, then quietly took a step back and grabbed the long umbrella standing in the corner of the room. He concluded seriously, "So, you're just a magnetic field radio wave. Why should I have a race with a radio wave?"

After Feng Chengyuan finished speaking, the female ghost's figure flickered like the unstable image on an old - fashioned TV. A look of confusion appeared on her swollen face.

When she came to her senses, she was on the verge of tears. Talking about scientific physics to a ghost - what else could this be but humiliation?

The female ghost's yin qi suddenly soared. She roared angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! I'm going to catch you today and make you my scapegoat!"

Her rotting arm, filled with cold air, suddenly lunged towards Feng Chengyuan's neck, but he deftly dodged it.

Feng Chengyuan slightly leaned to the side, gathered strength in the long umbrella in his hand, and suddenly struck at the female ghost.

The female ghost let out a hideous laugh and changed her figure to dodge. But then, a golden light flashed before her eyes, and she was suddenly frozen in place, unable to move.

Just as the umbrella was about to hit the female ghost's bluish - purple and swollen face, Feng Chengyuan paused. In the female ghost's surprised eyes, he retracted the umbrella and said calmly, "Do you still dare to harm people?"

The female ghost quickly shook her head, but her eyes kept looking behind Feng Chengyuan.

Feng Chengyuan turned around and saw that the window had been opened at some point. Yu Nian was standing casually by the window frame, smiling at him.

Beside Yu Nian, He Zhiping was firmly holding onto the curtain. He gave Feng Chengyuan an awkward smile. "Long time no see, Mr. Feng."

He Zhiping slowly turned his head and locked eyes with the evil ghost frozen in the room. Everything went black in front of his eyes again. God knows what he had just been through!

For no reason, he had been dragged here by Yu Nian. She had even smeared some eye - stinging talisman water on his eyes. After struggling to climb up to the second floor of the villa through the window, he saw this terrifying scene.

Yu Nian noticed He Zhiping keeping his head down and was a bit confused. "What are you looking at?"

"My completely shattered materialistic scientific worldview."

Feng Chengyuan stared at Yu Nian, his mood rather complicated.

Today was the most strange and eventful day in his twenty - six years of life. The most astonishing thing was that every event was related to Yu Nian.

"How did you guys get here?"

But Yu Nian didn't answer him. She lightly jumped down from the window and landed in front of him.

"Chengyuan, in many cases, being lenient to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

Feng Chengyuan's eyebrow twitched. He resisted the urge to correct her elder - like address, and then saw Yu Nian approaching the female ghost with great interest.

Just as he was about to stop her, he noticed something was wrong.

The closer Yu Nian got to the female ghost, the more the female ghost trembled. It was as if she was extremely afraid of Yu Nian. She continuously let out whimpers similar to those of a dog from her throat.

Yu Nian walked beside the female ghost and said in a voice only they could hear, "Considering this is your first offense, I'll help you tear off this exorcism talisman and send you to reincarnation. Don't try to run away. I only brought this one talisman."

The female ghost blinked vigorously to show her agreement. Yu Nian smiled slightly and gently tore off the yellow talisman paper on her back.

As she expected, the female ghost suddenly floated to the window. Her hair stood on end, and the thick black mist around her was so intense that it seemed about to drip like water. She stared at Yu Nian venomously. "Stinky Taoist priest, you wait for me! When I come back after recuperating my strength, I'll definitely dig out your heart and liver!" After saying that, her figure trembled violently, preparing to jump out of the window.

But unexpectedly, Yu Nian seemed to have anticipated this. In the blink of an eye, she moved behind the female ghost and effortlessly grabbed her calf.

The female ghost was greatly surprised. "How can you touch me??"

Yu Nian smiled. "Not only can I touch you, but I'm also going to beat you."

Yu Nian quickly dipped her finger into the cinnabar in her pocket. Without even raising her eyelids, she used her hand as a brush and directly drew an exorcism talisman on the female ghost's leg. The originally ferocious female ghost instantly wilted.

This whole set of actions took less than three seconds.

He Zhiping's jaw almost dropped in shock. Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he had watched many ghost movies before.

As the saying goes, one stroke shakes the world, and two strokes startles the ghosts and gods.

The steps for Taoist priests to catch ghosts were very complicated. Take drawing talismans for example. They not only had to set up an altar and perform sacrificial ceremonies, but the cinnabar - written yellow paper they used also had specific requirements.

But he had never seen anyone as casual as Yu Nian, who could directly draw a talisman on a female ghost's body with her hand!

In everyone's shocked gazes, Yu Nian flung the female ghost heavily to the ground like a sandbag. She lowered her eyes and asked, "Do you admit your mistake?"

The female ghost struggled to lift her head out of the pit. She gritted her teeth in hatred and turned to stare at Yu Nian fiercely. "Admit your mother! I was just caught off guard. Don't be so arrogant! If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, one day I'll definitely catch all of you and make you scapegoats!"

Humph, anyway, she had drowned once. She didn't believe that this young girl who hadn't even grown up could turn the world upside down.

But unexpectedly, Yu Nian seriously nodded. "Okay."

The next moment, the slender woman leaped forward. Her fists rained down on the female ghost's body so fast that there were almost after - images.

Even more strangely, Yu Nian remained expressionless all the time. As she punched, she repeated like a broken record, "Do you admit your mistake?"

Soon, another pit was smashed into the floor of Feng Chengyuan's house by the female ghost.

"Pinch me." He Zhiping woodenly stretched his arm in front of Feng Chengyuan.

Feng Chengyuan's attention was all on Yu Nian at the moment. He didn't even hear He Zhiping's words.

He Zhiping silently retracted his hand and murmured as he looked at the woman beating the ghost bare - handed, "Is this still my useless Yu Nian who didn't even dare to talk back when scolded..."

At first, the female ghost was still cursing. But after a few punches from Yu Nian, she felt that her ghostly life was coming to an end.

Her pale hand suddenly shot up in front of Yu Nian. The female ghost lifted her sunken head and cried for mercy, "Master, I was wrong. I'm really wrong..."

Only then did Yu Nian stop. She tidied up her bangs that had been messed up by the wind and softly asked, "Tell me, why did you harm people?"
