Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Chapter 94 Jealousy can completely change a person's appearance.

The old town of Taiping Ancient Town is not far from the new town.

Led by Boss Liu, they soon arrived at a ferry crossing.

Because it's an old town area, there are very few pedestrians here, and usually only long-time residents come here to wash their clothes.

The area around the ferry crossing was overgrown with weeds, and the nearby stone slabs were worn smooth, indicating that boats used to travel and transport goods here in the past.

Unfortunately, this place is now abandoned.

"Young man, let me make this clear in advance: my old friend might not be so easy to talk to. If he offends you in any way, please forgive him."

"Also, for her to help you wash your clothes, you need to take off the wedding dress that the female ghost is wearing first."

"I understand that, as long as he can wash the stains off the clothes, everything else is not a problem."

Chu Mo stood by the ferry, connected by a blue stone path that stretched along the river.

The conversation between the two did not last long, as the sound of splashing water echoed in the distance.

It looks like someone is washing clothes down there right now.

Soon, the splashing sound disappeared, and the sound of footsteps came from the path.

At the end of the ferry crossing, a middle-aged woman, around fifty years old, came up carrying a wooden basin.

The woman looked very old, with deep wrinkles on her face, and her clothes from the previous era made her seem out of touch with the present.

The other person seemed to have just finished washing clothes, but strangely, there were no clothes in the wooden basin, and the basin itself was completely dry.

"That's her."

Boss Liu greeted the other party.

The middle-aged woman was taken aback at first, then nodded to Boss Liu, but her expression was indifferent when she looked at Chu Mo and Yan Li.

"Boss Liu, what brings you to the old town today? Is your hotel closed?"

The middle-aged woman turned her gaze back to Boss Liu, her face still expressionless.

"I'm just thinking of introducing you to some business; we've known each other for so many years."

Boss Liu chuckled and began to introduce the two men.

The laundry woman glanced at Chu Mo and Yan Li next to him, and finally, following Boss Liu's words, she suddenly glanced at the ghost bride next to Chu Mo.

"It is indeed a nice dress, but it's a pity it wasn't worn by the right person. This wedding dress has been wasted."

The woman doing the laundry was very rude and showed no intention of helping.

Chu Mo even saw a hint of jealousy and some dissatisfaction in the other person's eyes.

"Boss Liu, don't recommend guys like this, who are neither human nor ghost outside the ancient town and spend all their time with ghosts, to me. Doing business with them might shorten your lifespan."

The woman washing clothes snorted and walked straight through the three of them.

The other party showed no intention of helping, and their words were even derogatory and mocking.

Mr. Liu gave an awkward smile, unsure of what to say. She had always been happy to help the customers he had introduced to her before.

"Young man, she is like this, please don't blame her, please don't blame her."

He tried to comfort Chu Mo, but noticed that the other man's expression was clearly displeased.

Anyone would find this unbearable.

Not to mention saying it in front of the guests.

"It's just washing clothes, why are you making such a fuss? Brother Chu is doing you a favor by asking you for help, but you really think you're something special. I've never seen anyone do business like this before."

However, before Chu Mo could speak, Yan Li couldn't help but speak up.

He was very dissatisfied. If the other party didn't give Brother Chu face, then they weren't giving him face either. Even if they didn't want to help, he would take it as a legitimate reason if they just said no.

But the other person's words, full of contempt and mockery, made one feel uncomfortable all over.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman paused, turned around, and looked at Yan Li with a gloomy expression.

"Kid, you'd better think carefully before you speak. No one in this ancient town has dared to cause me any trouble for a long time. You, who are practically drowning in blood, really don't know what's good for you."

"Is he wrong? He can be so proud of doing laundry. If I opened a laundromat for him, wouldn't he be walking around with his nose in the air?"

Chu Mo narrowed his eyes. Since Yan Li had said that, he naturally couldn't back down.

He glanced at Boss Liu, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

"Is this what you mean by 'difficult to talk to'? Boss Liu, I came to you with sincerity to do you a favor, but the person you found is clearly not a good person."

Mr. Liu was caught in the middle and never expected things to develop this way.

"Hey, young man, don't be angry. She's always been like this, but she's not a bad person at heart."

He tried his best to speak well of the women who did the laundry, since he could get a share of the profits as long as the stains on the wedding dress were washed.

This young man's background is clearly extraordinary. If he can possess such a supernatural item as a newspaper, then his other possessions must be quite extraordinary as well.

Unexpectedly, the laundry woman was enraged. She raised her voice and said shrilly, "Look at this, look at this, Boss Liu, is this how you treat people when you need a favor? I'm only doing this for you today, otherwise I would have already taken action."

"Make a move?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Li's paper suit was instantly stained red, with thick, sticky blood seemingly about to overflow, ready for battle at any moment.

Boss Liu wanted to say something more, but Chu Mo stopped him by raising his hand.

"Alright, Boss Liu, you don't need to speak up for her anymore. I've seen plenty of people like her; a good beating will do the trick."

As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, a dark ghostly domain rapidly spread from his body, and a thick haze drifted through the street, blocking out the light and making it seem like the world was dark.

The original old-style houses disappeared at that moment and were replaced by a village with the name "Huanggang Village" engraved on it.

Chu Mo's figure vanished from the ghost realm and instantly appeared in front of the woman. He stretched out his dark ghost hand, intending to grab her.

"Arrogant! With that female ghost beside you and your half-dead teammates, I really don't know where you got the guts. If I don't make you pay today, I might as well give up my title as a laundry maid."

As soon as she finished speaking, countless withered and twisted ghost hands appeared on the old-fashioned coat the woman was wearing.

These ghostly hands seemed to reside inside the clothes, showing signs of crawling out just before an attack.

They stood in front of the laundry woman, trying to take the hit for her.

Strangely, these hands inexplicably lost their resistance the moment they touched Chu Mo's dark right hand.

The supernatural presence on the clothes was simply suppressed by mindlessness.

The laundry goddess's expression changed noticeably, but she didn't panic.

As the supernatural entity residing in the first garment disappeared, the garment worn underneath the woman began to obstruct her movement.

However, it was still instantly suppressed, and the same was true for the third item.

Yan Li was somewhat surprised to see this.

It wasn't that I was surprised the laundry woman could withstand Chu Mo's attack, but rather that I was surprised why she was wearing so many layers of clothing.
