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

"...Have you encountered a vengeful ghost that's been around for a hundred years? Can you handle it? Do you need us to send someone to help?"

The other side processed the information in just one second and assumed that Shen Nian had subdued a hundred-year-old vengeful ghost.

Shen Nian: "Right. No need for support."

The female ghost was nearly beaten to a pulp by Liao Chen, so what kind of support did she need?

"Alright, I'll take her to the guild now."

The reason they approached the Xuanmen Guild was because the female ghost's soul was unstable after being beaten by Liao Chen, and they couldn't send her to reincarnation immediately. She needed a place to recuperate.

Shen Nian had two reasons for not planning to leave her to recuperate at Tiannan Mountain. First, Shen Nian had already meddled in her affairs by saving her, and leaving her to recuperate at Tiannan Mountain... she wasn't that kind-hearted.

Besides, there are many servants in the Tiannan Mountain courtyard, and it's not suitable for a female ghost to live there—just look at how terrified the Shen family's servants were.

Secondly, Shen Yingchuan can be found in Tiannan Mountain.

Ordinary people generally cannot reach the Xuanmen Guild.

She didn't want Shen Yingchuan to continue bothering the female ghost.

Humans and ghosts are destined to be apart, bound by karmic debts from three lifetimes. For this human and this ghost, never seeing each other again is the best outcome.

From then on, they went their separate ways. The female ghost was reincarnated and reborn as a human, while Shen Yingchuan continued to be the eldest son of the Shen family, completely severing this ill-fated relationship.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Nian waved her hand, releasing the two souls from the umbrella and throwing them back into their own bodies.

Then he turned around, opened the black iron gate, and was about to leave.

Shen Yingchuan called out to her, "Shen Nian."

"Where are you taking her...?"

Shen Nian sneered, "Go somewhere where no one will hurt her."

Shen Yingchuan's face paled: "I really don't know. I should have stopped them. Is she... alright now?"

Shen Nian: "Oh no, if I had arrived any later, she would have already been completely destroyed."

"I want to say sorry to her, and thank you..."

Shen Nian interrupted him directly: "No need, just stay away from her, that's the best way to repay her."

After saying that, she closed the black iron door.

The next moment, the Xuan Tie Gate vanished from Shen Yingchuan's room.

Shen Yingchuan stared blankly at the spot where the Xuan Tie Gate had disappeared, feeling a void in his heart, as if he had lost something very important.

For a moment, he even forgot about Shen Yingwei and Master Liaochen, who were lying unconscious to the side.

Shen Nian returned to Tiannan Mountain, dug the ginseng spirit out of the ground, and took the ghost and the spirit to the Xuanmen Guild.

The secretary was standing at the guild entrance, ready to greet Shen Nian, when she suddenly heard a soft sound behind her.

He turned around and saw Shen Nian carrying a woman as they stepped out of the iron gate that had appeared out of nowhere.

The secretary's eyes widened: "This... what kind of magical artifact is this?"

Shen Nian succinctly replied: "It's just the Ghost Gate, not a magical artifact."

"Take me to the Non-Human Biology Department, this ghost is dying."

The secretary then looked at the female ghost in her arms.

Her figure had begun to blur.

It seemed as if his soul would be scattered at any moment.

"……plz follow me!"

Human life... no, even the lives of ghosts are at stake, the secretary dares not delay.

With the Soul-Nourishing Wood and Yin Spirit Talismans used together, even the Vice Minister of the Non-Human Biology Department came to transfer Yin energy to the female ghost.

This is the third reason why Shen Nian sent her to the Xuanmen Guild.

Although she was once a vengeful ghost of a thousand years, she is now residing in the body of a living person, and the natural yang energy of the living person will also burn the soul of this female ghost.

Not to mention that her path is the ruthless path that makes even demons and evil spirits change their expressions drastically.

She can save lives, but she's somewhat helpless when it comes to ghosts.

Who can expect the ruthless god of death to save evil spirits and demons?

Their only skill is strangulation.

Seeing that the female ghost's condition had stabilized, Shen Nian got up and left, carrying the little ginseng spirit to register spiritual energy.

They happened to run into Hu Die, who was returning to the guild.

Hu Die looked at Shen Nian, then at the little ginseng spirit in her hand, and asked curiously, "Where did you catch this little demon?"

Shen Nian: ...

She still has the nerve to ask.

"This is what you caught."

Shen Nian said, "It's mixed in with that bag of herbs from last time."

Hu Die:!

She laughed awkwardly, "Oh, I see... Haha, hahaha, my bad."

"But I think this little ginseng spirit is quite cute. I hope it hasn't caused you any trouble?"

That's true.

They even helped save Old Mrs. Gu's life.

"That's good, hahaha..."

After completing the spiritual energy transfer, the little ginseng spirit shrunk back into Shen Nian's pocket to sleep.

Shen Nian glanced at the bustling Xuanmen Guild and asked, "There seem to be more people in the guild today. Do you have any important missions coming up lately?"

Hu Die thought for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be spread to outsiders, but if it's Master Shen, it shouldn't matter."

"The guild recently discovered traces of zombies, but they haven't caught them yet, and we can't determine what level of zombie they are."

"...Zombies?"

Shen Nian frowned: "Do they still have these things?"

Shen Nian had seen quite a few zombies when he was alive.

However, with the promotion of cremation cemeteries, and the fact that large feng shui layouts have been largely destroyed by development and construction, there are very few environments left that can form zombies.

Not to mention high-level zombies.

Shen Nian had only ever seen one flying zombie.

It was because of the severe drought that year, with corpses floating everywhere, that an extremely heavy evil aura gathered in a mass grave, which attracted a lightning tribulation. Under such special feng shui and celestial phenomena, a flying zombie survived the lightning tribulation.

However, in the end, her senior brother chopped off her head with a sword.

Hu Die smiled and said, "Everyone says that you can't become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but there's still a whole bunch of demons in the guild."

"However, I've never seen a zombie before. I hope it's not something beyond a hairy zombie."

Zombies are divided into purple zombies, black and white zombies, green zombies, hairy zombies, flying zombies... up to the final drought demon. Purple zombies to green zombies are relatively easy to deal with, but when it comes to flying zombies, the strength of zombies has undergone a qualitative change.

The drought demon is almost a god or monster.

Shen Nian said, "Then please be careful."

"We're fine, if we really encounter it, it'll just be a little bit of corpse poison."

"The problem is that before we find that thing, some ordinary people will encounter it first."

In my panic, I woke up the zombie; it would be bad if it bit me.

Jinghai is a megacity with a large population. If this makes the news, their Xuanmen Guild can expect to be heavily criticized by the top leaders this year.

"Alright, stop sighing. I'll keep an eye on it for you. If it hasn't made any noise for so long, it probably isn't a high-level zombie."

Hu Die nodded.

When Shen Nian returned to Tiannan Mountain with the little ginseng spirit, Gu Qiwen had just returned from the Gu family.

Gu Qiwen said casually, "I have a friend who owns a restaurant. They say the recipes originated from the Qing Dynasty palace. Would you like to try it with me?"

Shen Nian pondered for a moment and decided that it wasn't a bad idea to give it a try, so she nodded.

"Then wait for me to change my clothes."

Gu Yuncheng suddenly appeared, catching him off guard: "Change clothes? Where are you going?"

Shen Nian: "...Let's go eat, do you want to come?"

"I...uh..."

Gu Yuncheng looked up and saw the look in his brother Daoren's eyes. He chuckled dryly and said, "No, no, I have plans tonight. You guys go ahead."

Are you kidding me! He wouldn't dare be a third wheel on his brother's date even if he had a hundred lives!
