Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 920: Chapter 920: Flirting with Ghosts (23)

”Little girl, open it.”

”Why don’t you do it yourself? Always bossing me around, am I your servant or what!”

”I’m a ghost.” Chi Jing raised his hands, flipped them around twice, and smiled with his eyes: ”It’s up to you to do it, little girl, please.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Being a ghost is such a big deal, huh!

When you’re touching me, aren’t you quite capable?

Chuzheng tried to open the box, but it didn’t budge, and there wasn’t a lock in sight.

Chuzheng’s fingertips brushed over the box’s patterns, a faint eerie energy flowed between her fingers, as if it was very familiar with her.

Chuzheng withdrew her hand without any change in expression and fetched a fire axe to chop the box.

Chi Jing did not stop her; evidently, it was allowed.

The fire axe struck the box, Chuzheng saw the runes flash as if they blinked twice but soon extinguished, even the patterns became blurry.

The runes had lost their effect.

Chuzheng chopped again, and the box split open in response.

There were no bones inside the box.

Only a mass of black mist.

The moment the box was split open, the black mist seeped out and merged into Chi Jing’s body.

”You deceived me.” Chuzheng turned around to look at him.

There wasn’t much change on Chi Jing’s surface, but Chuzheng could feel that he was growing stronger.

Chi Jing raised his hand to observe, his slender, fair fingertips slowly clenched into a fist.

”So, it really was you.”

Chi Jing’s voice remained clear, but there was a gloom between his brows, and his gaze was dark and brooding.

Chuzheng: ”...”

What did I do!!

The bastard added some nonsensical plot again!!

Chi Jing lowered his hand and suddenly answered Chuzheng’s question: ”I didn’t really deceive you; this was something refined from bones. So, it counts as my bones too.”

It’s just that the shape is slightly different.

Chuzheng wielded the fire axe: ”Who am I?”

”The Dai family has another partner who’s a Heavenly Master. You should be a descendant of that Heavenly Master,” Chi Jing laughed. ”Rest assured, I distinguish between gratitude and grudges; I won’t do anything to you.”

”Approaching me was just for this?” You little trickster!

Chi Jing was stunned for a moment: ”Of course not, I’ve told you before, you’re special to me.”

He took a step towards Chuzheng.

His pale fingertips touched Chuzheng’s cheek, slowly moving up to lift her chin.

The man’s face drew closer: ”I like you, I won’t kill you, nor will I harm you. I want you to accompany me, consider it the repayment of your ancestors’ debt.”

His kiss landed, cold and soft.

Unlike before, gentle and soft, this time it was sharp and aggressive, storming and conquering.

Chi Jing embraced Chuzheng’s waist, pressing her against the wall beside them.

Pressing against her as he kissed.

The chill from Chi Jing’s body continuously seeped into Chuzheng’s body.

Chuzheng’s wrist was held by Chi Jing, she struggled but couldn’t break free, instantly furious.

Is this acceptable!

Chuzheng raised her foot and kicked.

Chi Jing was forced to release her, grabbing her leg, his nose against hers, his voice low and seductive: ”Little girl, where do you want to kick?”

”Wherever you think it is.”

”That’s not going to work; you can touch, but you can’t kick.” Chi Jing, as if educating a child, had amusement in his eyes.

Chuzheng’s face was cold and indifferent.

Today, I insist on kicking.

I don’t believe a ghost like you can be broken by a kick!

Chuzheng struggled free from Chi Jing’s restraint, kicking him with force.

Chi Jing had to retreat.

Chuzheng lifted her leg again, aiming right between his legs.

Chi Jing, for whatever reason, didn’t respond in time and didn’t dodge.

He was hit by Chuzheng, retreating several steps.

Chuzheng grabbed Chi Jing’s arm, pressing him against the wall, her knee bent, pressing against his waist.

Yin Xian wrapped around Chi Jing from behind.

Just as Chi Jing was about to use his strength, his wrist was suddenly pulled by a force, pinning him to the wall.

”Little girl, this position won’t work for you.” Chi Jing wasn’t panicked at all, instead, he teased Chuzheng with a smile: ”Why don’t we switch?”

”Chi Jing.”

Chuzheng’s voice was very calm and steady.

Chi Jing’s smile inexplicably faded.

”If you have something to say, let’s lay it all out, don’t be all cryptic.” Chuzheng continued: ”You can’t beat me.”

Chi Jing clenched his fist, trying to turn it.

He couldn’t see what was binding him.

The more he moved, the tighter it got.

Chi Jing was indeed struggling, without using any of his fierce ghost powers.

Chi Jing gave up: ”Let me go first.”

Chuzheng put down the leg against his waist, but her wrist restraints didn’t loosen.

”Let’s settle it, or else what if you act up again.” Chuzheng leaned against the side, looking at him sideways.

At this moment, Chi Jing faced the wall, his hands pulled apart, fixed on the wall.

He exhaled.

”Alright, let’s lay it all out.”

Chuzheng crossed her arms, her heel against the wall, nodding slightly, indicating him to speak.

”What do you want to know?”

”Everything.”

Chi Jing was silent for a moment.

”Back then, the Dai family colluded with the Heavenly Master to suppress me here. You ask why I, a fierce ghost, have the power to change fortunes; my answer is, I don’t.”

”I can’t change fortunes, but I can harm others and thereby achieve my goal indirectly.”

A fierce ghost hurts people.

Straightforward and simple.

”But the Dai family wasn’t satisfied, that Heavenly Master gave them an idea, to seize the fortunes of others.”

To achieve this isn’t easy.

They needed to find someone with immense fortune.

Then use secret art to stealthily change fate.

Back then, Chi Jing didn’t know they had this plan.

”You’ve lived for a thousand years, can you still be manipulated?”

Chi Jing’s overly pale face showed a hint of sarcasm: ”Do you think summoning a fierce ghost is just calling me out? We have a contract, and the Heavenly Master tampered with the contract.”

He was also careless.

Thinking a few humans couldn’t do anything to him.

But human cunning and cruelty are the deadliest.

Reversing someone’s fate, seizing fortune, this kind of thing is a sheer fantasy to ordinary people.

But that Heavenly Master really had a way.

Chi Jing thought he was their trump card, only to find in the end that he was just a pawn.

Chi Jing with some difficulty turned his head to look at the box Chuzheng had just split open.

”There’s another corpse below, you dig it up.”

Chuzheng: ”!!”

Still need to dig!!

[...] The girl’s focus is always so peculiar.

Chuzheng kicked the box, continuing to dig down.

Sure enough, she found another similar box below.

There were similar runes on the box, but different from the first one.

Chuzheng split the box open, and indeed there was a skeleton inside.

Preserved very well.

The clothes hadn’t deteriorated much either.

Chuzheng felt it wasn’t good to rummage through someone’s belongings, but she spotted something pressed below the skeleton.

Chuzheng hesitated for a moment, still bending over to take it.

Avoiding touching the skeleton as much as possible, she extracted the item.

It was a piece of talisman paper, not with runes.

But it was written in a mess, Chuzheng didn’t recognize it.

But she recognized the name on it—Shi Yin.
