The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 178 What is the purpose of ghosts?
Huo Yunjing had no intention of hiding anything. He touched his nose and said, "The scene brought back some memories of my past life, but I can't remember them all."

"So." Gu Qingyin still had no expression on her face. "You are the Ghost King Lichuan who once rectified the Ghost Market and ruled the Ghost Market for a hundred years?"

Huo Yunjing admitted, "Who I was in my previous life has nothing to do with this life."

Although he had some more memories in his mind, he didn't feel anything real, just like watching an immersive movie. After watching it and knowing the plot, it didn't have any impact on him.

Gu Qingyin was silent for two seconds, "Why reincarnate?"

Huo Yunjing thought for a moment and said, "There's no particular reason. I probably just feel bored."

Gu Qingyin's eyebrows skipped a beat. What kind of bullshit reason is this? Ghost King, he has money, power, and strength, which many people envy, but he still finds it boring!

Perhaps because her eyes were too full of resentment, Huo Yunjing walked over and sat next to her, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "If you live too long and have nothing to pursue, you will inevitably feel lonely. If you are lonely for too long, you will feel that life is meaningless. It is better to start over."

Gu Qingyin was not completely unable to understand. She snorted, "Now, he has become a ghost cultivator again. He will live for a long time again."

Huo Yunjing chuckled, "It's different. I have you and my sons. I am much happier than in my previous life."

Gu Qingyin was quite satisfied with this answer, and then asked: "What about the female ghost?"

Huo Yunjing paused for a moment and said innocently, "A suitor with a not-so-smart brain. I rejected her many times, but she seemed not to understand. She followed me wherever I went, causing many unnecessary misunderstandings. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I sealed her off."

"I was originally planning to teach her a lesson by locking her up for a few decades and then releasing her, but I accidentally forgot..." Huo Yunjing felt guilty for only a brief second, and then he said confidently, "It seems that she was not locked up long enough. She didn't admit her mistakes and still had the guts to cause trouble."

Gu Qingyin was speechless and amused, and slapped him, "Go run the bath water!"

"Okay! My Queen!"

Huo Yunjing got up and went to the bathroom in a good mood.

Gu Qingyin couldn't help laughing. Who could have thought that the legendary cold and aloof Ghost King would become a wife slave after reincarnation.

Gu Qingyin herself wanted to say that she ate so well!
After taking a bath, Gu Qingyin dried her hair and went to bed. Just when she felt a little sleepy, Huo Yunjing, who had just finished cleaning the bathroom, climbed up and got into the quilt, and with his long arms, he pulled her into his arms.

Gu Qingyin habitually tensed her body, waiting for the coolness to come.

But magically, the familiar chest against her back became warm. She could even feel the rise and fall of his chest through the thin pajamas.

Gu Qingyin perked up immediately, turned around to face Huo Yunjing, and curiously reached out his hand to touch and pinch him, "How did you do it? Can a ghost disguise itself as a human?"

Huo Yunjing's eyes gradually darkened, and he grabbed her hand that was lighting fires everywhere, "It's just a simple disguise. Honey, are you not sleepy yet?" He leaned closer, "Let's do something we love."

"Well……"

Gu Qingyin's mouth was blocked, and she soon lost the energy to be curious.

When Gu Qingyin opened her eyes again, the sun had already started to move westward. She stretched out of habit to relieve the pain in her back and waist, then lazily got up to wash.

Huo Yunjing was not in the bedroom, so he must have gone to the kitchen to cook.

After changing clothes and going downstairs, Gu Qingyin smelled the sweet and sour pork. Her saliva immediately started to flow faster and her pace quickened.

Huo Yunjing came out of the kitchen carrying the last dish, turned around and smiled at her, "Just the right time." Gu Qingyin sat down, looked at the delicious food, and her stomach began to rumble belatedly.

Halfway through the meal, Huo Yunjing suddenly said, "When you were sleeping, I answered a call for you. It was from Xuanxie, saying they wanted to introduce you to a job."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingyin was confused for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she did register with Xuanxie, but there had been no response, and she had almost forgotten, "What job?"

"The client's information has been sent to your email. Please read it after you finish eating."

Gu Qingyin ate her meal slowly, drank a bowl of thick soup, and started reading some information with a full stomach.

The client is Song Qiwen, a channel manager in a listed company. He recently got engaged to a colleague named Yuan Shuyi. The two of them had business dealings with each other and became familiar with each other. They fell in love with each other over time.

They had been in love for half a year and had just gotten engaged not long ago. The strange things that happened to them started after they got engaged.

The first one was Yuan Shuyi.

Yuan Shuyi was very tired from work every day, and she slept very deeply at night, and seldom dreamed. But after getting engaged, she frequently dreamed of a woman crying with her back to her. The whole night she could hear the woman crying in her ears, and when she woke up the next day she felt very tired, as if she had not slept all night.

One or two days might be a coincidence, but having the same dream for a week in a row made Yuan Shuyi, a materialist, feel suspicious.

At first, she didn't think it was a ghost, but instead thought it was a hint from God, suggesting that she would cry every day in the future. She then suspected that Song Qiwen was not a good match for her and even thought about canceling the engagement.

Yuan Shuyi couldn't hold it in anymore and told Song Qiwen about it.

Her mental state was indeed not good during those days. After listening to her, Song Qiwen felt that it was due to too much work pressure and took her to see a psychologist.

That night, Yuan Shuyi tried the relaxation method recommended by the doctor, and the effect was remarkable. She really did not have any dreams.

When she woke up the next day and recalled her suspicion of Song Qiwen, she felt both amused and guilty. That night, she specially prepared a table of dishes and stewed a nourishing soup, waiting for Song Qiwen to come home.

But by nine o'clock in the evening, Song Qiwen not only did not come back, but also lost contact.

Yuan Shuyi called everyone who knew them, but no one knew where Song Qiwen had gone. Just when Yuan Shuyi couldn't help but want to call the police, Song Qiwen called back.

Song Qiwen, who was always calm and composed, rarely lost his composure and said in a panic, "I'm stuck in a maze."

It turned out that Song Qiwen left work on time that night and wanted to go home early to accompany Yuan Shuyi, but after driving into the tunnel, he found himself trapped.

The tunnel was not very long, just over two kilometers in total, but Song Qiwen drove for ten hours and the car was almost out of gas.

In fact, he realized something was wrong not long after he entered the tunnel. Normally this tunnel was very congested, but that night it was empty with only his car.

Song Qiwen didn't dare to stop and could only keep driving. Fortunately, he got out of the tunnel safely in the end.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The purpose of the ghost wall is to delay the prey's steps and then capture it.

But the ghost that Song Qiwen encountered didn't show up in the end and let him go. What was the ghost's purpose? It couldn't be that it didn't want him to go home.
