Chapter 12 (2/2)

Keep your distance from Prince Zi if you cherish your life.

Those women should start praying now.

Gu Wanqin didn’t dare return to the general’s house. She had just sabotaged Gu Wanqin’s wedding and infuriated Prince Zi. Her father definitely wanted to skin her alive.

Besides, Feng Qingtian would probably come looking for trouble. It wasn’t the time to go home.

Thinking that, she brought Ah Luo out of the city and checked in at a remote inn.

After Ah Luo fell asleep, Gu Bailu jumped out of the window.

Her spirit root was broken in this world. It was impossible for her to cultivate. She could only do what she used to do for a living.

The rude called her a ghost-kicker, the knowledgeable called her a soul ferryman, and some called her an exorcist.

As for her, she called herself a soul captivator.

In fact, she was just someone who hunted ghosts.

The wind in the wilderness was rather cold. Gu Bailu tightened her robe and suddenly felt that something was wrong. She saw something flash by.

“Wow. You’re not hiding when you see me?”

Gu Bailu went after it. The thing trembled and fell to the ground.

The thing that looked like a cotton cl.u.s.ter sprawled on the ground and turned into the shape of a pale woman.

“Let me go,” she said as she trembled.

“As a ghost, you shouldn’t haunt the human world.” Gu Bailu crouched down. “And if you do, you shouldn’t let me catch you.”

The ghost was rather beautiful except for her abnormally pale face.

“I have unfinished business.”

“No business is ever finished. Let me send you off to where you belong.”

“Please let me go. I’ll leave on my own after I’m done with the b.i.t.c.h.”

Gu Bailu said scornfully, “I’ve heard too many such declarations. What can you do except float around as a soul without a body? Other than scaring them once in a while, you can only watch them be happy. Remember: out of sight, out of mind.”
