The male supporting character was actually myself.

Before I could see the evil spirits, I was afraid, but at least I didn't feel any pain or itching. However, my limbs felt swollen and I was listless and gradually became thinner.

Ever since I gained the ability to see ghosts, well, I can see these things whether my eyes are open or closed, it's unbearable!

“A level six evil spirit—the Earth Soul Egg.” Jiang Chen carefully observed and explained, “The retribution for sins is the revenge of an ordinary evil spirit, which is bound by cause and effect. Even a level nine celestial master wouldn’t dare to interfere casually.”

Being possessed by a ranked evil spirit is simply bad luck.

I've heard my mother talk about this kind of evil spirit, the Earth Soul Egg, which is most fond of obese people.

The thicker the fat, the better. Once it wraps around you, it will continuously absorb nutrients and energy to strengthen itself. It generally won't directly drain you dry and kill you.

Did you see the ghost face on its shell?

Each time it entangles someone, a ghost face is created; the more ghost faces it has, the higher its level. Once it hatches, anyone whose nutrients it has absorbed will die suddenly.

The final ghostly face on this earth spirit egg is about to take shape; time is running out.

Zhang Fushang's lips trembled. "I...I used to be quite fat, over 400 pounds."

"Master, since you know it, can you get rid of it?" Mrs. Zhang asked anxiously. "As long as you can save my husband's life, we'll give you any amount of money, even if it means selling everything we own!"

Jiang Chen nodded and replied, "I can handle it. The price will be based on the bounty you posted at the Celestial Master Sect."

"Okay, okay! I'll transfer the deposit to you right away..." Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed.

Before she could finish speaking, and before anyone else could react, Jiang Chen had already taken a very basic peach wood sword and was waving it around quite seriously, displaying an impressive display of skill with his left hand holding the sword and his right hand forming a hand seal.

"boom!"

A sudden gust of air swept through the living room, causing the captain, vice-captain, and Mrs. Zhang to involuntarily take a step back.

Zhang, the wealthy merchant, stared wide-eyed, pointing ahead with trembling lips, "It exploded! It exploded!"

Jiang Chen put the fist-sized core, visibly radiating bright red yin energy, into his spirit bag, then slowly took out his phone, opened his payment account, and said calmly, "It's resolved. Pay now."

"Holy crap! That's awesome!" the captain couldn't help but swear.

The little white cat blinked hard and rubbed its eyes, "Host, how did you do that? Was the original owner's spiritual power level that high? Si Guoyi!"

Mrs. Zhang looked curiously at the bulging, slightly trembling spirit pouch, and asked with some doubt, "Husband, what do you think? Can you still see that thing?"

Chapter Six: Temptation from Evil Spirits

"It's gone. I watched it explode into ashes with my own eyes!" Zhang Fushang moved his limbs, and the feeling of being bound and suffocated disappeared.

He excitedly grasped Jiang Chen's hands and refused to let go, "Master! You are my savior! Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do to help you in the future! Honey, quickly transfer the fee to the master!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the increasingly gloomy sky outside and asked, "Do you know anyone who has a house for sale? The kind you can move into right away?"

"A house?" Zhang, the wealthy businessman, paused for a moment before asking, "Are there any specific requirements?"

Half an hour later, when they came out of the villa area, the team leader was completely dazed.

Zhang, a wealthy businessman eager to curry favor with Yuan, sold his luxury apartment in the city center to Yuan Jiangchen for 350 million yuan.

He did indeed receive a transfer of 500,000 yuan, but how to divide it would have to be discussed with his junior brother.

She deleted all the photos, so Yuan Jiangchen probably isn't someone with any particular fetish and wouldn't keep them to admire.

If someone can easily deal with a level six evil spirit, then that person probably wouldn't even consider a newbie like me a threat.

“Um… Master Yuan, we were ignorant and offended you a lot in the past, please forgive us…” The captain was trying to say a few polite words when Jiang Chen waved his hand to interrupt him, “Let’s not talk about the past anymore.”

From today onwards, our relationship will be one of cooperation and mutual benefit.

You provide the information and I'll eliminate the evil spirits. If I make money, I'll still get a 10% cut. How about that?

"I don't limit bounties to the Celestial Master Sect; even if you have inside information about where evil spirits need to be exorcised, you can contact me."

The captain and vice-captain immediately beamed with joy, "No problem! We'll keep an eye on things and notify you as soon as we have any accurate information!"

The patrol car happily drove away only after escorting Yuan Jiangchen to the entrance of the residential area.

"We can move to a new home!" The little white cat excitedly jumped from left shoulder to right shoulder. "Master, the new home is in a great location! There's a big shopping mall nearby, and inside the mall there's..."

"The best tablet." A light drizzle began to fall from the overcast sky. Jiang Chen strolled in the drizzle and replied with a smile, "I'll remember that. I'll go buy one after I move!"

I carefully went through all the branching storylines in my mind.

There will be a heavy rainstorm in two days.

One of the plot points involves a subplot where the siblings' old, dilapidated rooftop apartment leaks during a downpour.

Yuan Xuefei's school uniform was soaked and stained. When she arrived at school, she was teased by a few scheming girls, which led to more serious bullying and left resentment deep in her heart.

When she had nowhere to vent her negative emotions, she was enraged by evil spirits and became completely corrupted.

What Jiang Chen needs to do now is to fill in the gaps and deal with all the potential pitfalls in the script in advance, so as to guide Yuan Xuefei and Jin Nian away from their self-destructive path.

"Brother, you're back?" As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuan Xuefei wearing cute bunny pajamas and chopping vegetables. Her silver hair was wet, obviously she had just washed it and it wasn't dry yet.

The family was too poor, and when the hair dryer broke, they didn't buy a new one. The brother and sister would just wait for their hair to air dry after washing it.

"I'll cook. What would you like to eat?" Jiang Chen changed into slippers, took off her coat, washed her hands, and walked into the small, simple kitchen. She glanced inside and saw only some green vegetables and white noodles.

The original owner, Yuan Jiangchen, adhered to the principle of always considering others and took meticulous care of Yuan Xuefei in her daily life.

For so many years, he has done all the laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Whenever he is home, he will never let his sister lay a finger on him.

The kitchen was cramped with just two people standing in it, so Yuan Xuefei tacitly stepped back.

"Go pack your things first, we're moving this afternoon." Jiang Chen didn't know how to cook, so he just wanted to get her out of the way quickly, throw the things into the food maker, and bring them out in a bit.

Yuan Xuefei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll go pack up first."

"Take only the essentials, the simpler the better."

Hearing her brother's words, Yuan Xuefei walked into her room feeling somewhat dejected.

at last……

Can't even afford to live here anymore?

When I moved out of the villa and into this place, I was glad that I finally had my own little room.

But now... I'm afraid I'll have to rent a room that's even further from the school and smaller in size.

If it's a one-room apartment without a bedroom, you can only use a single sheet to separate the two people.

There's definitely no need to bring a lot of things, and even if you did, you wouldn't have anywhere to put them. It's better to pack them up and sell them to a recycling center; maybe you can even get some money for groceries.

As she packed her things, tears streamed down her face.

Yuan Xuefei didn't know why she was crying.

How can you feel wronged?

If it weren't for my uncle and aunt taking me in, I might still be in an orphanage now, and I wouldn't be living a normal life with a family and an older brother.

The house, the property, and even the monthly pension he relied on for survival were all left to him by his brother's parents.

The older brother has the right to dispose of his own property.

Even if they despise them for being a burden, sending them back to the orphanage would be the right thing to do.

He owes himself nothing, so why can't he hold back his tears?

Jin Nian, curled up in the dark little space, raised her head, listened quietly to her thoughts, and then replied softly, "Your brother is a good person, and so are you."

If you want to change something, perhaps I can help you.

"You?" Yuan Xuefei was suddenly stunned. She knew that there was another soul inside her.

It is an evil spirit.

Sometimes I would whisper to her, but I never heard a response!

She actually spoke up today?

“You are good people, but there is too much evil in this world.”

Greed, desire, evil... they summoned me, showed me those ugly things, and I wanted to go on a killing spree to wipe out all the evil in the world, but I was suppressed.

Do you want a world where good people can live happily? We can join forces…

A seductive voice rang out from the depths of her heart, stirring up some small wishes and expectations in Yuan Xuefei.

"Host, the script is being updated!" Xiao Bai, who was munching on dried fish arranged in order of size, suddenly exclaimed, "What happened?"

renew?

Jiang Chen, who was pretending to cook, frowned slightly. He opened the script and saw the words "Plot Update in Progress". He couldn't help but wonder if it was because of buying a house.

Is this script really that sensitive?

It can't stand even the slightest movement?

"Feifei, dinner's ready." Jiang Chen poured the vegetable noodles from the food maker into her own bowl, then put the bowl and chopsticks back into the machine, and called out while holding the two bowls of noodles.

Yuan Xuefei's face was flushed. She took a few deep breaths to suppress her trembling body, and after a while, she opened the door and came out.

"Have you been crying?" Jiang Chen asked, noticing her slightly red eyes and flushed cheeks. "What happened?"

"No, no, I just got dust in my eyes while tidying up old things." Yuan Xuefei didn't dare to look up at him.

Putting the bowl of noodles on the table, Jiang Chen rubbed his temples and said, "Two things: First, the evil spirit inside you has escaped."

Yuan Xuefei couldn't help but feel nervous, "Then... does brother still want to suppress her inside my body?"

"Why do you think that?" Jiang Chen looked at her strangely and explained seriously, "Her suppression inside your body will only continuously deplete your spirit and body, and will not do you any good."

Therefore, her escape must not be exposed, and no one else can know about it.

We need to keep her by our side and slowly teach and reform her.

We attempt to address the root causes of the problems in the underworld, evil spirits, and the human realm.

This process requires your cooperation, is that alright?

Chapter Seven: Jiang Chen Has a Bold Idea!

My brother is actually... asking for my opinion?

Yuan Xuefei was stunned for a few seconds, feeling that he seemed a bit different after he came back today.
