Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

"I thought you knew."

Shen Nian could only give a brief introduction to her biological species.

Gu Yuncheng was shocked.

Gu Yuncheng was puzzled.

Gu Yuncheng felt relieved.

To be honest, when Gu Yuncheng suddenly learned that his master was actually a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost who had been resurrected, he felt a sense of both surprise and inevitability.

No wonder.

If that's the case, then all the previous unusual occurrences can be reasonably explained.

Gu Yuncheng quickly processed and accepted the matter, and returned to his normal state when he returned to Tiannan Mountain.

Shen Nian instructed the housekeeper to clean up the empty courtyard in preparation for the flying bird to be trapped there.

Gu Qiwen asked, "Are we having guests coming over?"

"Yeah, I picked up a puppy."

Gu Qiwen: ?

puppy?

He glanced at Gu Yuncheng, implying that he should explain what Shen Nian meant.

Gu Yuncheng: "Uh... to put it simply, my master adopted a zombie and will bring it back in a few days."

"...Why is it called a puppy?"

"Maybe it's because zombies bite, hmm."

Gu Yuncheng explained, "But don't worry, brother, that zombie is intelligent and won't bite people randomly. Besides, it's quite good-looking, so it won't scare you if you keep it at home."

However, it was clear that Gu Qiwen's focus was not on the potential danger posed by the zombie, but rather—

"It looks pretty good?"

"yes."

Gu Yuncheng nodded in deep agreement: "That's what Master said. And it seems that because that guy was good-looking, Master didn't kill him. He spared his life and was preparing to reform him into a good person."

After saying this, Gu Yuncheng suddenly noticed that his older brother's face had turned cold for some reason.

Uh……

His brother wouldn't be jealous of even a zombie, would he?

Gu Yuncheng shook his head, clearing his mind of the terrifying speculation, and made an excuse to quickly slip back to his own courtyard.

night.

Shen Nian's live stream.

These days, her livestreaming frequency isn't very consistent. For example, she didn't livestream yesterday when she went to the Tang Palace Banquet to deal with the zombies.

Her fans don't really urge her to go live. They check on time every day to see if Shen Nian has gone live. If she didn't go live yesterday, they'll jokingly ask her in the chat if she went ghost hunting today.

Shen Nian: ...

They didn't catch any ghosts.

However, they did manage to capture a flying zombie.

But the matter of the flying zombies definitely couldn't be discussed in the live stream, so Shen Nian gave a few perfunctory replies and then started the fortune-telling session.

The first person to connect was a middle-aged man.

The camera shakily pans by, briefly showing the interior decorations of the car; it seems the man is talking to Shen Nian while driving.

[Uncle, why are you video chatting while driving?]

[Exactly! Watching a live stream while driving is so distracting and dangerous.]

The middle-aged man glanced at the rearview mirror, then at the live stream screen, and lowered his voice, saying, "Streamer, save my life."

"It seems like...it seems like I've attracted something that isn't human!"

【? ? ? 】

What does it mean to have passed something that isn't human? Does it mean you passed a ghost?

Don't scare people in the middle of the night.

Why do you think she's a ghost? Normally, ordinary people can't see ghosts, right?

The man moved his phone to the side so that people in the live stream could see the person in the back seat.

It was a woman dressed in red.

Her long bangs covered almost her entire face.

It certainly looked incredibly eerie and terrifying.

The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, "I just picked up this girl by the roadside. As soon as she got in the car, I felt a chill all over my body. I gave her an address and then didn't say anything more."

I asked her what she was going to do.

"Then she told me... she was going back to see her family."

"Then I asked her why she was going home so late at night, and she said that she couldn't go out during the day, so she could only go back at night."

"Listen to this, isn't that creepy? I'm driving all this way and I'm sweating bullets, just in case she suddenly sticks her head out to look at me."

This uncle seems to have a talent for storytelling; in just a few words, he gave the viewers in the live stream a chill down their spines.

"Uncle, don't say anything yet. Let me get into bed and under the covers first."

[Mom, I'm scared. This description sounds like... well, you know.]

Don't overthink it. Maybe the girl is busy with work and only has time in the evenings.

[Oh my god, it's not a holiday, who would go home so late at night?]

The driver continued, "Then I suddenly remembered that there were a few abandoned graves where I parked earlier. Do you think I... brought wandering ghosts up here...?"

Shen Nian glanced at the girl and said calmly, "You were indeed carrying a ghost."

Upon hearing this, the driver was so startled that he almost slammed on the brakes.

"What should I do now? Will I die, Master? I have elderly parents and young children to support. What will happen to my children if I die?"

The driver was so anxious that he blurted out half of his hometown dialect.

Shen Nian said, "Don't panic. As it stands, this female ghost has no intention of harming anyone. Just pretend you don't know anything and get the person to their destination."

"She probably just wanted to go home and see her family."

"Then, isn't she a ghost? Can't she just float back? Why does she need to take a taxi?"

As the driver spoke, he pinched his thigh.

"Some ghosts don't know they're dead after they die. They might still think they're alive and subconsciously choose to take a taxi, a normal mode of transportation."

[It's okay, uncle, don't be afraid, we're all here with you.]

[You can't go wrong by listening to Master Shen. This female ghost shouldn't harm anyone; just make sure the person is safely delivered.]

Before the driver could say anything more, the woman behind him suddenly moved.

The driver said, "She seems to be waking up, I'll stop here for now."

Unfortunately, the woman's house was located in a very remote area, surrounded by tall, overgrown trees, making it gloomy and giving the driver a chill.

The journey, which should have taken only half an hour, felt like an eternity.

After stopping the car, the driver said in a trembling voice, "We've arrived."

The female ghost raised her hand, handed over a note, said thank you, and then opened the car door and got out.

Although she did open the car door, in the driver's eyes, she seemed to float down.

This scene terrified the driver. As soon as the woman got out of the car, he quickly stepped on the gas and drove away.

It wasn't until quite some time after they drove away that the driver had a chance to look at the banknote the woman had given him.

...That was actually a ghost money note!

The viewers in the live stream gasped when they saw the ghost money.

Thankfully, the female ghost has been delivered to her destination.

Should we throw this ghost money away? It looks really unlucky.

The driver asked, "Master, what should we do with this ghost money?"

Shen Nian said calmly, "Those are the ghost money her family burned for her; they'll disappear in less than half an hour."

"If you feel it's bad luck, you can go back and visit a proper temple to pray, or take a bath with mugwort. However, she meant no harm, and you've done her a great favor. You should be getting a windfall soon."

The driver breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard that he was alright.
