Huang Jue is someone who's had a girlfriend before, he was very sensible, and quick to apologize.

Who knew that the female ghost, after being released by ShuoZong and hearing out his apologies, would start crying again.


The ghost baby, dangling upside down in WeiXi's hands, still had its eyes fixated on his mother with no empathy at all. Then suddenly there was a slap on its buttocks, and its white-less eyes spun a little then slowly turned to look at WeiXi.

"Why doesn't he say anything?" WeiXi asked quizzically and looked at his second disciple: "Maybe he's retarded?"

Ghost baby: "......"

Huang Jue's parents were waiting with Ruan ShiXing outside the room when they heard the sounds of crying, they buckled up the courage to run inside. Then they saw the inky black infant in WeiXi's hands, and before the fright could even register, they heard the female ghost scream between her sobs: "All of you Huang family people are bastards!"

Her tears had blanketed her face with blood and the scene should have been terrifying but the atmosphere was just too odd. ShuoZong was standing off to the side, holding in his hands a completely defeated intermediary ghost, Huang Jue and Tuan JieYi were kneeling by the bed trying to comfort a sobbing female ghost, and WeiXi who had continued slapping the ghost baby's buttocks hoping to hear it cry.

This feeling of accidentally walking into the wrong studio set made it difficult to feel truly scared. Ruan ShiXing mopped off his sweat, and for some reason felt that his nervousness prior to entering the room was a little embarrassing. At that time, papa Huang who was standing by his side walked forward and addressed the female ghost with a disapproving look: "You must be Huang FengXiu's girlfriend, right? I remember you."

The female ghost squinted and looked in his direction for a while but didn't recognize him. She whimpered a response, thinking it was another person trying to comfort her just like Huang Jue.

But contrary to her expectations, as soon as papa Huang opened his mouth the spit started flying: "It really is you! What is wrong with you child! Ah? Let's not even mention you running here trying to scare my family for no good reason, thanks to you my Huang Jue couldn't get a single decent night's sleep, even affecting his work performance. I heard you jumped off the building to die? You're too irresponsible! Killing yourself just because of a quarrel, did you even stop to think about the baby you were carrying? Did you think about your parents? Ungrateful child! They raised you to be this big, did you even think about how sad they were after they found out you killed yourself!"

Female ghost: "......"

Papa Huang: "Also, what right do you have, to say our Huang family are all bastards?! Your conflict with Huang FengXiu is between you two, but I've always taught our Huang Jue to be an honorable person and to be respectful to women. Forget about scaring him, but even badmouthing him too. What did my son do to deserve you calling him a bastard? You at least count as half a sister-in-law to him, where are you manners?!"

Female ghost: "........"

Because she was suddenly scolded, her whole ghost body was stunned in shock. Ruan ShiXing was also stunned, thinking to himself that Huang Jue's father was pretty courageous, even standing up to a ghost like that.

Just then, mama Huang also nodded in agreement: "Right! Right!"

Ruan ShiXing: "......"

This family...... Perhaps they're naturally brave or perhaps their nerves are impossibly thick......
