Chapter 313: Almost Kicked Him Out

Jiang Liu Shuang realized he was back inside the room-and standing face-to-face with the ghost again. She wasn’t angry; she watched him calmly, as if she had all the time in the world.

Refusing to accept it, he tried twice more. Each time, he ended up stepping right back into the room. He almost cried, but forced himself to keep a big brother’s dignity. Though his voice trembled, he barely kept up his image as he asked: “What is going on?”

Jiang Liu Bin trembled even harder: “We’re done for. Is this that ‘ghost wall’ thing where no matter how you run, you end up in the same place?”

Looking at the ghost now in front of him again, Jiang Liu Shuang knew it was exactly that. He also noticed something terrifying: each time he jumped back into the room, the ghost was closer. At first, about two meters. Now, less than one. Afraid he’d land right on her the next time, he didn’t dare try again. He swallowed his fear and asked: “Who are you?”

Rarely, Jiang Liu Shuang reflected on his wild twenty-something years. Yes, he was reckless and liked women, but he never bullied or forced anyone. Everything had been willing on both sides. He never touched good, modest women, and he had never harmed anyone. He wasn’t exactly a good man, but he wasn’t a bad one either. Why would this thing cling to him?

“The question isn’t important,” the female ghost said, stepping toward him with a bright smile. “Once we’re husband and wife, you’ll know who I am.” Her arm stretched unnaturally long in a blink, grabbed his collar, and flung him onto the bed.

She looked at Jiang Liu Bin and said with a playful tilt: “Good little brother, after I’m done with your brother, I’ll take care of you next.”

In the next instant, she appeared on the bed. Two pitch-black ghost claws easily tore Jiang Liu Shuang’s clothes.

“Ahhh-don’t come near me!” Jiang Liu Shuang cried, ashamed, angry, and terrified.

The ghost glanced between his legs and wrinkled her nose: “Why no reaction?”

Jiang Liu Shuang froze: [With a face like that, who could react?]

Not knowing the humiliation his third brother had just suffered, Jiang Liu Bin acted on instinct. He drew his weapon-thank goodness the young master always carried one-and charged the ghost. The grateful thought had barely formed when he was blasted backward. The female ghost didn’t even turn. She kept staring at Jiang Liu Shuang’s lower body. Red light surged in her eyes. The maggots in her rotting flesh writhed crazily.

“You’re… impotent?” she snarled, sounding unhinged. “I lost my life because of a useless man like you? Ha ha ha ha!” She laughed like a madwoman. A cold wind howled. Curtains and canopies whipped. Tables and chairs trembled.

Jiang Liu Shuang burned with shame and anger. He didn’t dare offend such a strange thing, but her words pushed him over the edge, and he forgot his fear as he shouted: “Even if you don’t have a mirror, you can still look at water! Go see your reflection and that ghastly face! Facing a face like that, even a lecher reborn couldn’t stand to attention!”

The frenzy in her eyes paused-then grew worse. “You think I’m ugly? Ahhh-you dare call me ugly!” Her black hand clamped around his neck. The grip was so strong his eyes rolled up at once. He was about to pass out.

“Third Brother!” Jiang Liu Bin had been flung back but wasn’t hurt-probably because the ghost still wanted his pure yang. Even so, the power she’d shown made him tremble. There was a gap between humans and ghosts; no matter how strong a person was, facing a ghost they were no match.

Seeing Jiang Liu Shuang about to choke, fear twisted his guts, but he still rushed forward: “Let go of my third brother!”

The ghost, furious, kept one hand on Jiang Liu Shuang’s throat and flung her other hand toward Jiang Liu Bin. The dreadful ghost hand seemed to leave her arm and fly on its own. The sight made every hair on Jiang Liu Bin’s body stand up. He knew he should dodge, but somehow he couldn’t move. His feet felt nailed to the floor. He could only watch the ghost hand slice toward him. He squeezed his eyes shut in despair.

Bang!

The pain and death he expected didn’t come, only a loud crash. He cracked an eye open. The once-arrogant female ghost was tumbling backward. A woman in a green robe now stood in the room.

The figure was unfamiliar-and she was floating.

Floating?!

Jiang Liu Bin’s guts turned to water. [Another one?!] His eyes rolled up as he started to faint. Before he hit the ground, an arm like winter ice caught his neck. The cold made him shiver and wake up at once. He looked up into a pale-blue face without black pupils-nothing human about it. He nearly fainted again.

The woman spoke first: “Fourth Young Master, don’t faint yet. I’m not an evil ghost. Master sent me to protect you.” Jiang Liu Bin lay stiff in her arm, not daring to move, head still fuzzy: “Who is the master?”

Li Yu tried to give a harmless smile, but on that bluish, pallid face it only looked scarier. Jiang Liu Bin used all his willpower not to let his near-bursting bladder go. Thankfully, Li Yu’s next words were reassuring: “It is your second sister-the Jiang Clan’s newly found Second Miss.”

Hearing that Yu Zhi Yi had sent help, Jiang Liu Bin still feared Li Yu’s inhuman face, but he calmed somewhat and asked again to be sure: “My sister really sent you?”

“Yes,” Li Yu said. “Master is on her way. She sent me ahead to protect you two young masters.”

Jiang Liu Bin finally relaxed and sniffled: “I knew it-Sister is the best!”

Jiang Liu Shuang, just freed and rubbing his neck, thought: [If your sister hears that, you might get smacked.]

A Foundation-Stage cultivator traveled far faster than ordinary people. Yu Zhi Yi covered dozens of li in under half an hour. She stepped into the gloomy, ghost-filled brothel. As she pushed open the door, a figure lunged at her. If her eyes hadn’t been sharp enough to recognize Jiang Liu Bin in time, she would have kicked him right back out with one strike.
