The ultimate master in the city

"A ghost putting on makeup in the middle of the night?"

The group looked at each other, and although they didn't understand what it meant, just from the literal meaning, they felt a chill down their spines.

Ge Li's father swallowed hard and whispered, "What...what's next?"

Zhou Fengchen dismissed the rest of the people, leaving only Ge Jiaying, Ge Li's father, and Monk Yuanzhi. He whispered, "From now on, whatever I do, remember to cooperate, understand?"

"Understood!" The group nodded.

Zhou Fengchen pushed open the door and saw Ge Li on the bed still struggling, foaming at the mouth and with a bluish face, which was very frightening. Several women next to her were on the verge of tears and could only hold down her hands and feet.

Upon seeing Zhou Fengchen and his group enter, Ge Li stopped struggling, stared wide-eyed at him and Yuan Zhi, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Ge Li's father, Ge Jiaying, and several women were immediately startled; that voice... wasn't Ge Li's.

"Let her go!" Zhou Fengchen said coldly, waving his hand.

Several women glanced at Ge Li's father, obediently released their grip, and stood aside.

Zhou Fengchen walked to the bedside, sat down, and asked as if chatting with a friend, "What will it take for you to leave?"

Ge Li sneered, "Why should I leave?"

Zhou Fengchen frowned and said, "Isn't it shameless of you to take over someone else's body?"

Grietress smugly smoothed her hair, tilted her head, and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about. I am Grietress!"

Zhou Fengchen said, "You understand, you're not Ge Li. Just leave obediently, and we'll give you whatever you want, okay?"

Grie chuckled and said, "I don't want anything. I am Grie, so what? Kill me?"

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! You forced me to do this."

Zhou Fengchen stood up, took out a small paper packet from his pocket, opened it, and revealed a pile of chicken droppings, still warm and stinking. He wondered where those people had picked it up from.

Ge Li was stunned when she saw the chicken droppings, not knowing what Zhou Fengchen meant. The Ge family members next to her, who were trembling with fear, were also confused.

Zhou Fengchen coughed, then suddenly pointed to the side, "You beast! Look what's that?"

Ge Li turned around abruptly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhou Fengchen slapped chicken droppings on her face, spreading them evenly, before quickly stepping back.

"Ah!" Ge Li screamed angrily, "What did you stinking Taoist priest put on my face? Ugh! Bah! You bastard!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Zhou Fengchen shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "It's really ugly, so ugly, disgusting!"

He turned around and said, "What do you all think?"

Monk Yuanzhi immediately looked disgusted and said, "What a disgusting person! A deformed and ugly creature, unable to be a human being, and even as a ghost, he's this ugly. He's truly lived in vain! Bah! I wouldn't take him even if he were given to me for free!"

Ge Li's father paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Yes! It's so ugly, so unattractive!"

Ge Jiaying also said, "Sigh! There's no one else who's this ugly."

"Nonsense! You're all talking nonsense!" Ge Li bared her teeth and threw a pillow at him.

Seeing that the time was right, Zhou Fengchen waved his hand dismissively, "Let's go, let's leave her to fend for herself!"

"Let's go, let's go."

A group of people left the house and closed the door.

Zhou Fengchen stood outside the door and deliberately said loudly, "Old Ge, get a door panel, nail it shut, and let her die inside!"

Ge Li's father paused for a moment, then quickly ran downstairs, grabbed his toolbox and some wooden planks, and used them to seal the door shut.

Then Zhou Fengchen beckoned them downstairs and whispered, "Turn off the main lights, leave a small lamp for illumination, and everyone hide."

Monk Yuanzhi stood next to Zhou Fengchen and asked curiously, "What's the secret behind your skills?"

Zhou Fengchen chuckled, "My dad did something like this once in the county town when he was alive. Don't ask any more questions, just watch!"

Time passed by, and at first there were some curses coming from Ge Li's room, but then it suddenly became quiet.

The clock on the wall was pointing to 11:30 a.m., and Ge Li's father couldn't help but feel anxious. He whispered, "Master, what if it's no use? She..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Fengchen interrupted him, "Shh!" and pointed upstairs.

Everyone instinctively looked up at the building, and suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, not daring to breathe.

Suddenly, a scraping sound came from the door of Ge Li's room, and then a blurry figure walked out of the door, solidified after a few steps.

She appeared to be a strange woman in her thirties, dressed in red, with disheveled hair.

Only a small vertical lamp was lit in the hall, which flickered on and off as the woman appeared, and even the air in the room seemed to grow colder.

The woman's face was unusually pale, frighteningly white. Her long, curved fingernails curled and slowly tilted upwards as if to grab someone. She looked around, then quietly floated to the mirror by the wall, touched her face, smiled slightly, and then picked up a comb from the ground, casually combing her hair.

This scene was incredibly bizarre; how many times in a lifetime would an ordinary person witness such a thing? Several women rolled their eyes and fainted, while several young men simply lay on the ground, trembling. Soon, a wet patch appeared around them, and the stench of urine filled the air.

Ge Li's father was covered in a cold sweat, but he remained relatively strong. Ge Jiaying, however, surprised Zhou Fengchen. Despite being terrified, she gritted her teeth and turned back to say in a very low voice, "She's here!"

Zhou Fengchen understood what she meant and nodded. "Don't make a sound."

After the female ghost upstairs finished combing her hair, she picked up foundation, lipstick, and other cosmetics from the ground and slowly began to apply them.

"Ready!" Zhou Fengchen greeted Monk Yuanzhi, then lightly stepped off the wall, turned a corner, and darted behind the female ghost.

Ge Li's father and Ge Jiaying stared in disbelief, pointing at the ground and then at Zhou Fengchen. The monk Yuanzhi, standing nearby, shushed them, and the two had no choice but to obediently lie down.

At this moment, the female ghost was drawing her eyebrows and was completely unaware that Zhou Fengchen was coming.

"You beast! Your death is near!" Zhou Fengchen stretched out his right hand, five talismans spinning in his palm.

The female ghost suddenly turned around, startled, and turned to crawl back into the room.

Zhou Fengchen reacted quickly, forming a handprint and slapping the hand.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

A clean, decisive slap landed on the female ghost's face. She screamed, flying backward, staggering to her feet, reverting to her deathly appearance—covered in blood, half her head gone, her brains bulging out in a horrifying display. She screamed, "You stinking Taoist priest! Mind your own business!"

As he spoke, he suddenly darted downstairs.

Upon seeing this, Ge Li's father, several young men who were secretly watching, and Ge Jiaying screamed in terror, their souls nearly leaving their bodies.

Zhou Fengchen immediately ran to the stairs, "Yuanzhi, chant the sutra!"

"She's here!" Monk Yuanzhi leaped to his feet, facing the female ghost, chanting: "Om, Ah, Moo, Ban, Ge, Za, Re, Ban, Ma, Se, De, Moo..."

The female ghost froze, clutching her head and screaming in agony.

Monk Yuanzhi looked smug and, while chanting sutras, secretly winked at Zhou Fengchen.

Zhou Fengchen understood immediately; it was time to ask for money. He coughed, the talisman in his hand spinning rapidly, and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Boss Ge, Master Yuanzhi and I have it tough. We have Buddha and Laozi enshrined at home, and we don't have money to offer sacrifices to them..."

I like the novel "The Strongest Master in the City".
