Chapter 40 The Price of Temptation
This was the first time that Tan Xuan saw this kind of female ghost that could only appear in books. She was similar to the ghosts described in the books, with a green face and long fangs. It was a real green face with fangs. I didn't know if this ghost was vicious or not, but her appearance was too disgusting. Her hair was like rolled felt, and her face was like a close relative of Avatar. Most ghosts didn't have her personality.
“Gah!”
The female ghost let out a ghostly cry, and liquid continued to drip from her blood-red tongue, leaving a large wet stain on the chest of her white dress.
Xiao Di and Su Cheng didn't dare to look at it anymore and closed their eyes tightly. Even though Xiao Di had seen a bit of the world, he had never seen something that made him want to vomit. It really felt like he might die if he looked at it for one more second.
Tan Xuan also frowned deeply, unable to bear to look directly at it, "Fuck, this is too damn disgusting."
“Gah!”
The female ghost uttered another ghostly cry and moved forward a little. Her blood-red eyes flashed with a captivating light and at the same time, she let out a strange "giggle" from her mouth.
Tan Xuan was furious, and yelled at the female ghost: "What are you yelling about? Do you think it sounds nice? You dare to come out to see people with this character? Don't you look in the mirror before you go out? You bastard, I told you to come out and disgust people."
As he said that, Tan Xuan rushed towards the female ghost angrily.
"You dare to scare people in front of me, you are tired of living ."
The female ghost did not seem to expect that the person in front of her was not frightened by her, but instead rushed towards her. She was stunned for a moment and actually stood there in a daze.
The living room was only a few steps away from the door. Tan Xuan rushed to the female ghost in an instant and slapped her hard in the face.
"ah!"
The female ghost let out a scream and took off from the spot. After hitting the wall and landing, she lay on the ground and swayed for a few times before not standing up again.
Tan Xuan shook his hands and spat at the female ghost in dissatisfaction, "Bah! How dare you scare people in front of me? Didn't you check the almanac before going out? Why don't you ask what I, your grandfather, do for a living?"
Tan Xuan returned to the two girls and greeted them nonchalantly, "It's okay. How could such a person scare you like this? Is it that serious? It's just a slap."
Su Cheng and Yang Junwen were dumbfounded. They were completely shocked by Tan Xuan's simple and rough method. Could he be the legendary master? Only Xiao Di was relatively calm. After all, it was not the first time she had seen Tan Xuan like this. She was more or less used to him. Looking at the female ghost, she was lying on the ground and her face could not be seen. Xiao Di did not find it scary anymore. Instead, she began to feel pity for her. It was bad luck to have to offend Tan Xuan when she could have offended anyone else. It turned out that she did not check the almanac before going out.
Not only the people were stunned, but the ghost was also stunned. The female ghost lay on the ground for a long time before she moved. She slowly raised her head, and her blood-red eyes turned black and white. The fangs in her mouth had fallen to the ground, and her long tongue was missing more than half. Even her face, which was originally blue, now had a white palm mark. Now the female ghost no longer had the violent temper just now, and her eyes were aggrieved, and a little pitiful.
Xiao Di pulled Tan Xuan's arm and sighed, "Damn, you hit her really hard. You slapped the ghost girl so hard that she lost her color."
Xiao Di shook his head again, "That's not right. When I saw you fighting ghosts before, the ghosts' bodies always became lighter and lighter until they disappeared. How come only their faces became lighter this time?"
Xiao Di was very confused.
"Hey!" Xiao Di pulled Tan Xuan's arm and suddenly shouted, "Tan Xuan, look, did you beat that female ghost and make her cry?"
“Woo… woo…”
It would have been better if Xiao Di didn't say anything, but the female ghost suddenly covered her face and started crying.
"Damn! You're still crying. It seems I didn't beat you enough." As he said that, Tan Xuan walked towards the female ghost angrily again and raised his hand to slap her halfway.
"don't want!"
The female ghost suddenly raised her head and spoke in human language. Although her words were not particularly clear, they were indeed human language.
Tan Xuan would not listen to her verbal objection and slapped her , "You said no, so you don't want it? I am so annoyed by your crying grandpa."
"ah!"
The female ghost let out a scream and then burst into tears.
“Stop hitting me…ah…”
"Shut up!" Tan Xuan felt that beating was not enough, so he raised his foot.
"No..." the female ghost begged. She was completely scared from being beaten and tried to hide backwards. Unfortunately, there was a door behind her and it was locked. She couldn't get out even if she wanted to.
"don't want!"
When Tan Xuan's feet were about to land, Yang Junwen suddenly rushed over, hugged Tan Xuan tightly, and pulled Tan Xuan back to the sofa with force.
"Master Tan, calm down, calm down..."
Tan Xuan finally managed to break free from Yang Junwen's pull, and said coldly, "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm fighting a ghost? She's the female ghost you saw in your dream, right? I can just kill her for you, why bother with so much trouble?"
"No, no." Seeing that Tan Xuan still wanted to attack, Yang Junwen quickly called Su Cheng and Xiao Di to force Tan Xuan to sit on the sofa.
"Master Tan, she is not the female ghost in my dream..."
"Oh?" Tan Xuan stopped struggling and stared at Yang Junwen and asked, "What do you mean? If she is not the female ghost in your dream, then who is she? Don't you have more than one ghost here? Anyway, it's buy one get one free, so I'll give you one more today. I'll help you get rid of this ghost for free."
"No, no, no, she is my sister, not a ghost, but a living person." Yang Junwen explained quickly, then turned and yelled at the "ghost": "Yang Yumin, what are you doing? I asked you to bring the money, why are you dressed like this?"
"Is she a human?"
Su Cheng stood up with the help of the sofa, walked to the ghost girl and kicked the half tongue on the ground. It was made of rubber. The fangs knocked off by Tan Xuan looked even more fake. The red-glowing colored contact lenses also fell to the ground. As for the ghost girl's long nails, they were also covered with nail caps. My goodness, nothing was real. Even her dirty hair was a wig that she got from somewhere.
Su Cheng was so angry. She thought she had really seen a ghost just now and she almost passed out from screaming. Now that she knew it was not a ghost, she wanted to vent. But when she heard Yang Junwen say that that was his sister and this was Party A's father, she didn't dare to show too much anger and could only suppress all her thoughts in her heart.
Yang Yumin, who was sitting on the ground, cried and wiped her tears, smearing her face even more. She said, "What nonsense am I doing? I am doing this for your own good. You said you wanted to meet a master who can exorcise ghosts, so I dressed up as a ghost to scare him and see if he really has the ability. But he thought I was a ghost and beat me up. Why are you yelling at me? I should be the one who is angry."
"Tsk..." Yang Junwen really couldn't bear to scold his sister anymore when he looked at her. The way she was dressed just now was scary enough, and now with her tears, her face looked even worse, with some dark spots and some light spots, even more terrifying than the ghost-like appearance she had just had.
Yang Junwen snorted and scolded him in pretended anger, "You deserve it. I let you fool around. You deserve to suffer. Master Tan is my guest. How could you do this? Fortunately, Master Tan is generous and didn't argue with you. Hurry up and go to the bathroom to clean up."
Yang Yumin stood up from the ground with a groan, rubbed his obviously swollen cheek, and shouted at Yang Junwen: "You still say he is a master, he is just like a street brawler, he doesn't have the demeanor of a master at all, does a master catch ghosts by slapping, punching and kicking? If he is a master, the ghosts are victims."
Then, she turned to Tan Xuan and glared at him with eyes that seemed to be blazing with fire, "You can't even tell the difference between a human and a ghost, and you are worthy of calling yourself a master?"
Facing the question, Tan Xuan snorted and sneered twice, and said disdainfully: "What if they are humans or ghosts? If you provoke me, I will beat them without hesitation. You don't believe in my ability, right? If you don't believe it, you can try. I will fulfill your wish of becoming a ghost. I am better at dealing with ghosts than dealing with humans ."
"You..." Looking at Tan Xuan's rude eyes, Yang Yumin didn't dare to continue looking at Tan Xuan. She covered her face and went out. When she got outside, she whispered to Tan Xuan, "Just wait, I'll make you pay."
Tan Xuan didn't give in at all and directly retorted, "How can you make others look good? Just take care of yourself first and don't make people want to vomit when looking at you."
Seeing his sister staggering out, Yang Junwen chased to the door, "Yumin, where are you going?"
"I'll go wash up. Do I look good like this?" Yang Yumin was still scared of Tan Xuan, but she was not polite at all to her brother.
Seeing Yang Yumin enter the next room, Yang Junwen returned to the room and apologized to Tan Xuan awkwardly, "Master Tan, I'm really sorry for scaring you. I didn't expect it was Yumin who was fooling around."
"Is it really a joke?" Tan Xuan looked into Yang Junwen's eyes for a while, then smiled again, "I hope it's just a joke. It's okay for me. I'm a rough man and I'm not easily frightened. But the two people who came with me can't stand such a toss."
"It's okay, it's okay, we're fine." Before Tan Xuan could finish his words, Su Cheng said that it was okay. Not only herself, but also Xiao Di forgave Yang Yumin for her actions just now.
"Uh..." Tan Xuan looked at Su Cheng, then at Xiao Di. Seeing that Xiao Di just smiled and kept silent, he stopped talking too.
After a while, the doorbell rang, and Yang Junwen opened the door and led in a young woman with a handbag. Although the young woman's clothes and style were completely different from before, Tan Xuan still recognized her as the "ghost girl" because the mark he left on her face was now more obvious, even if she deliberately lowered the brim of her hat.
"Here, this is the money you want." Yang Yumin took out a bag of money from her bag and threw it on the coffee table. Without staying in the room for any longer, she turned around and left, as if she didn't want to stay in this room for a moment longer, and she never looked at Tan Xuan and the other two from beginning to end.
