With the help of these yin dolls, Jiang Nuo soon found the female ghost.
She had been badly injured earlier, and the ghost fetus in her belly was also in constant pain after its ghost power had been whittled away.
At the sight of Jiang Nuo approaching, the female ghost immediately turned vicious, but she was simply too afraid. Shielding her belly, she kept backing away, guttural warnings rasping from her throat.
Compared with its mother, the ghost fetus was much fiercer.
It had finally gotten a chance to enter the human world again. It absolutely could not let anyone stop it!
"Yaaah-!"
The ghost fetus projected its spectral body out of the female ghost's belly, trying to latch onto Jiang Nuo and bite him to death.
"Heeheehee..."
The yin dolls all came forward to stop it, forming a circle around the ghost fetus as they danced and laughed.
The ghost fetus stared at them in bewilderment, clearly not understanding what they were doing.
Jiang Nuo seized the opportunity to use another ghost-killing spell, swift and decisive.
The female ghost could clearly sense the strange energy emanating from this human. It was unlike ghost power, yet even more terrifying.
Whenever Jiang Nuo took a step forward, the female ghost took a step back under that pressure.
There was something inexplicably comical about it.
Unfortunately, Jiang Nuo had no patience to waste on her today. He only wanted to finish quickly and go back to sleep.
His hands swiftly formed a spell seal, and flames sprang up from it.
The flames quickly surrounded the female ghost, trapping her inside with no way to escape.
Having her ghostly body burned was excruciating, and her piercing screams echoed throughout the villa.
Jiang Nuo rubbed the flame between his fingertips, then blew it out.
"Yaaah-"
As if sensing its mother's fear, the ghost fetus finally broke free of the yin dolls. It was white all over, looking for all the world like a lump of dead flesh.
Yet it looked inexplicably eerie.
"Ugly doll."
Jiang Nuo laughed, a talisman held between his fingertips, and flung it at him.
The female ghost wanted to help but was powerless. Surrounded by flames, she had been burned beyond recognition, and the school uniform she wore as a disguise had also burned away, leaving only her true form from when she died.
An utterly hideous corpse, half her face charred, rolled helplessly back and forth on the ground, screaming nonstop.
Suppressed by the talisman, the ghost fetus had also lost all ability to fight back. The yin dolls treated it like a toy, holding hands and swinging in the tree.
Jiang Nuo waited where he was for a few seconds. Only when the female ghost and the ghostly body were reduced to spectral silhouettes did he grab them, one in each hand.
Removing the spell from the yin dolls, he yawned and walked back with a smile.
It was the joy of a bumper harvest...
I'm dying, hahahaha! Why does God Nuo look so satisfied right now, like he's just come back from the market?!!!
Female ghost market clearance sale (not really).
Mom asked why I was kneeling to watch the livestream! God Nuo is so strong!
God Nuo keeps slapping the haters in the face~
The haters: "..."
Damn it.
Wasn't this guy way too strong now?
They couldn't find anything to criticize anymore!
And... he actually seemed pretty handsome, too.
Fine... I'll be honest. Jiang Nuo really was handsome today...
Seeing a notorious anti-fan who had been around since Jiang Nuo started shooting commercials actually praise him today, all the fans were astonished and began promoting him with everything they had.
Partly to annoy the remaining haters, and partly to introduce him to the newcomers entering the livestream.
Some people even wondered whether they had wandered into a paranormal channel.
Without even knowing it himself, Jiang Nuo had somehow gained a batch of remarkable fans.
The main hall of the association's office.
A group of grown men threw their hands up in celebration, their faces flushed with excitement.
"Jiang Nuo is fucking awesome!! He even dealt with a Mother-Child Fiend so easily!!"
"Damn it!! Why did that brat Wang Ping get to go out with Jiang Nuo today?! If I'd known, I would've fought harder for it!"
"There's nothing wrong with calling him the strongest alive, right?! In our association, probably only the young master and the president could barely match Jiang Nuo!!"
"Are we allowed to say this?! I think the young master looks pretty delicate next to Jiang Nuo!"
Of course they were allowed to say it.
Everyone silently exchanged glances, then unanimously searched for and followed the Unscrupulous Couple shipping supertopic.
After a round of agonized screams, Jiang Nuo finally brought the two malicious ghosts out, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Ping regretted not having seen it for himself.
Si Yan immediately walked over to Jiang Nuo and tore open a wet wipe.
This time, however, instead of handing it over, he took Jiang Nuo's fingers and wiped them clean, slowly and meticulously.
Under the resentful gazes of the two malicious ghosts, he even massaged Jiang Nuo's fingers.
He showed none of the expressions someone being stared at by two malicious ghosts ought to have.
Jiang Nuo narrowed his eyes in enjoyment. Once Si Yan finished cleaning his hand, he casually took Si Yan's and rubbed his icy fingertips.
The female ghost's spectral form silently cursed, Fuck you.
You nearly wiped me out.
And now, in my final moments, you're flirting right in front of me.
Is this something a human being would do?!
She looked around at the few frightened people, then suddenly threw herself in front of Grandma, stuffing the ghostly body back into her belly.
She knelt and begged, looking pitiful.
"Grandma... please, make this Daoist let us go, mother and child. This child is Tongtong's!"
Everyone: !!!
Poor Old Madam Jiang, at her advanced age, nearly stopped breathing from the shock of those words.
She clutched her chest and gasped for breath. Only after a long while did she ask in a trembling voice, "What did you say?!"
Jiang Zhong was also badly startled, his gaze repeatedly taking in the female ghost's appearance.
Then he quietly asked Jiang Nuo.
"Mr. Jiang, what's going on?"
"All right, shut up."
With a flick of his middle finger, Jiang Nuo silenced the female ghost outright, stopping her from bewitching anyone else.
Holding Si Yan's hand, he strolled over, explaining as he walked.
"She should be a girl who died a terrible death many years ago. Her body was buried carelessly, and the fetus in her belly died before it was born. It accumulated corpse qi and resentment from its mother, and the two combined to become a Mother-Child Fiend."
With that, he looked at Jiang Zhong and asked, "Did you visit a cemetery before?"
Jiang Zhong paused, then nodded in reply. "Yes, but that was a year ago. We went to burn incense and tend our grandfather's and parents' graves."
"Jiang Tong also placed a stick of incense at the female ghost's solitary grave, entangling himself in karma and getting himself haunted by her."
Jiang Nuo reached out and pointed at the female ghost and the ghost fetus in her belly, a hint of teasing entering his eyes.
"The female ghost followed Jiang Tong home. Having no experience with romance, Jiang Tong was easily bewitched and actually carried on an illicit affair with her."
"He even promised to help her nurture the fetus in her belly so it could be born into the world."
Only today did Jiang Nuo finally understand what the words troubling Jiang Tong meant.
You must have seen wrong.
It was Jiang Tong deceiving himself. Even after he later discovered that the female ghost was not human, he still wanted to lie to himself.
Jiang Zhong: "..."
Mentally exhausted, he let out a deep sigh.
Old Madam Jiang also looked utterly blindsided and nearly fainted.
Who could have imagined that their sweet, well-behaved Tongtong would do something so bold?!
