Chapter 50

“ARGH, ARGH, ARGH, ARGH, ARGH, ARGH!!!”

As Xia Bing screamed, her face was scalding as though someone poured acid on it. Wisps of green smoke kept rising from it.

Lin Wu couldn’t help but be shocked and surprised. Just when he was prepared to ask how Pei Jianing came over, he saw the red Mazda about five meters away from him. He was stunned. “Jianing, did you drive the car over?”

He was a little puzzled. Before he got down the car earlier, he had clearly taken the car key away. How did Pei Jianing manage to drive the car?

However, for an existence like a ghost, they were special. Just depending on their obsessions, they were able to influence and affect reality, producing inconceivable results. The matchmaker’s red string, Xiao Qin’s transformation ability…all these couldn’t be explained.

Pei Jianing nodded lightly, and she spoke with difficulty, “…I…heard…”

Lin Wu was shocked, Pei Jianing heard his shout?

At this moment, Xia Bing’s screams also stopped.

She moved her hands that were covering her face away and slowly inclined her head, glaring fixedly at Pei Jianing. Her eyes were filled with terror, and her voice was clearly full of hatred. “…You…again…”

When Lin Wu saw Xia Bing’s appearance, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

At this moment, there was a red-colored palm imprint on Xia Bing’s face, and the mark seemed to be dyed in blood. It caused her visage to look even more horrifying.

It was unknown whether he was imagining things or not, but Lin Wu felt that Xia Bing seemed to have become more illusory. Be it her face or her body, they faintly exuded a feeling of half-transparency.

Could this be a result of being injured by Pei Jianing?

Lin Wu had a guess in his heart.

“…Why…?”

“…Why…?”

Xia Bing’s body was trembling; she stared at Pei Jianing with fear. She started to mimic a broken recorder once again.

Ghosts could feel fear too?

However, since Xia Bing was killed by Pei Jianing, it was understandable why she feared Pei Jianing.

“…You…ought…to…die…”

Pei Jianing coldly stared at Xia Bing. Her icy gaze suddenly locked onto the silver ring on Xia Bing’s right hand.

The cold intent in the atmosphere grew even heavier.

“…You…are…not…worthy…”

At the next second, Pei Jianing transformed into a red shadow and abruptly appeared before Xia Bing. She waved her hand and a moment later, she returned to Lin Wu’s side once more. She then slowly opened up her right hand.

In her palm, a simple-looking silvery-grey ring could be seen!

Lin Wu’s heart couldn’t help but be shocked, Pei Jianing actually took Xia Bing’s netherworld marriage token away!

“Ah!!!’

At the next instant, Xia Bing screamed in incomparable terror. Her body began trembling in desperation. It was like losing the ring was even more terrifying compared to facing Pei Jianing.

Xia Bing shivered and slumped onto the ground. She stared fixedly at Pei Jianing and spoke with difficulty, “…Quickly…return…it…to…me…”

However, Pei Jianing merely regarded her icily. She repeated her words from before, “…You…are…not…worthy…”

“…Return…it…to…me!”

Xia Bing screamed shrilly. Her hands and legs began to push off as she crawled frantically toward Pei Jianing. In the blink of an eye, she already rushed over and arrived before Pei Jianing.

It was also not known what Pei Jianing did, but the fresh blood on her body flowed rapidly as a red shadow flashed~

“ARGH, ARGH, ARGH, ARGH, ARGH, ARGH!!!”

Xia Bing began to scream in pain once more. Thick amount of green smoke rose from her chest, and she squirmed crazily as though she was electrocuted. She hurriedly retreated with an even faster speed compared to earlier when she had been rushing toward Pei Jianing.

Lin Wu observed carefully this time. He saw that Pei Jianing’s chest had an additional blood palm imprint on it. It was the area where the green smoke was rushing out of.

Xia Bing’s body also turned even more illusory. She was now evidently half-transparent.

It seemed like the damage caused to her by Pei Jianing was very terrifying. If a few more exchanges occurred, wouldn’t Xia Bing’s soul be scattered?

“Jianing, destroy her!” Lin Wu immediately shouted.

To a malicious ghost like this that wanted to kill him, even if she was his wife, he would choose to destroy her first rather than doing anything else.

In any case, as long as they were married in name, regardless of their lives or deaths, the matchmaker wouldn’t care.

“…Destroy…?”

When Pei Jianing heard Lin Wu’s order, she couldn’t help but cock her head. It was as though she was pondering over what the word ‘destroy’ meant.

Xia Bing got even more terrified. She hurriedly retreated and completely vanished in the blink of an eye.

After three seconds of thinking, Pei Jianing finally understood the meaning of the word ‘destroy’. She then nodded to Lin Wu. “…Destroy…her…”

“…”

Looking in the direction where Xia Bing had fled, Pei Jianing then turned to glance at the car, which was parked five meters away. She couldn’t help but have a look of being wronged on her face as she stared at Lin Wu. “…Can’t…catch…up…”

“…” (You don’t say…)

Lin Wu was speechless. Wasn’t this wife of his a little too endearingly silly?

However, he also knew that although Pei Jianing was more terrifying than Xia Bing, she couldn’t yet leave the ten-meter radius of the car. She would be restricted until she had gotten her revenge and resolved her obsession.

Lin Wu helplessly shook his head and instructed, “Jianing, if you encounter Xia Bing again in the future, just directly destroy her, understand?”

Pei Jianing seriously nodded. “…Destroy…her…”

After that, she passed the silver ring in her hand to Lin Wu.

“Netherworld marriage token.”

Lin Wu took the silvery-grey ring and examined it carefully. This ring was the exact same as the one Li Luyao had.

However, he felt a little puzzled. Why was Xia Bing so terrified after losing the ring?

Could it be because of the matchmaker?

“Jianing, do you want the ring?” Lin Wu suddenly glanced at Pei Jianing.

“…No…”

Pei Jianing shook her head. She then had a serious look on her face as she spoke, “…I…have…marriage…certificate…”

Lin Wu suddenly felt that the stuttering Pei Jianing was pretty cute. He smiled and subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to rub her head. However, his hand only came in contact with air. Only then did he remember that she was a ghost.

Pei Jianing stared at Lin Wu; she blinked. All of a sudden, she took the initiative to lower her head, indicating that she was willing to let him rub her head.

Lin Wu felt a little bewildered. He probingly extended his arm toward her head again. But this time, he actually touched something material and could feel the sensation of her hair. The tactile sensation was the same as an ordinary human’s hair.

However, the feeling wasn’t too good due to her hair being icy-cold and damp. It was also sticky, feeling like he was running his hand through blood.

Pei Jianing seemed to enjoy it very much, her eyes were closed.

Could it be…this ‘killing technique’ of rubbing and patting heads was effective toward malicious ghosts?

“How mystical.” Lin Wu couldn’t help but sigh.

Now, he faintly understood a point.

Ghosts were formed from obsessions, and they basically didn’t have a material body!

Just like earlier when Lin Wu had been struggling against Xia Bing, no matter how he tried, he wasn’t able to come in contact with Xia Bing at all. Xia Bing was like the air, but despite so, Xia Bing could grab him.

From the looks of things, ghosts should be using their ‘thoughts’ to influence reality. ‘Grabbing him’ was Xia Bing’s thoughts then; she didn’t grab him through a material body. Since that was the case, he naturally wouldn’t be able to touch Xia Bing.

Pei Jianing was the same. Only when she wanted to let Lin Wu touch her head would Lin Wu be able to do so.

No wonder the influence of malicious ghosts toward reality was stronger compared to ordinary ghosts. Maybe their negative emotions caused their ‘thoughts’ to become even more intense.

“Teacher, sorry I made you wait for such a long time.”

A voice filled with a slight hint of apology drifted over from Lin Wu’s back. A moment later, Chen Ning walked out of the mathematics building. He had an astonished look on his face as he looked at Lin Wu. He asked, “Eh…teacher, what are you touching?”
