Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 365: Chapter 365 Heavenly Master 72

On this day, Situ Shuangshuang’s main task was to visit the jade market to buy a piece of jade. Of course, what Situ Shuangshuang wanted to buy was not high-quality jade, but ”dead jade.” In the Heavenly Master’s jargon, dead jade actually referred to very low-quality mixed jade!

Since Ding Yue and her two friends were terrified, the three of them clung together in the dormitory, still scared. Although Situ Shuangshuang took a day off, she still planned to return to the dorm at night to give those three girls some courage. It must be said, these three girls were surprisingly well-behaved.

All three came from good families, but they weren’t spoiled at all; they could handle everything on their own. Even after the fierce ghost scare, they didn’t think about taking time off to rest. They simply told the teacher they had sore throats to avoid answering questions and continued to study hard. They were extremely attentive regarding Situ Shuangshuang’s matters. Before Situ Shuangshuang could act, the three girls had already helped her, and nothing Situ Shuangshuang said could change their minds.

Talking about this incident, Qin Fang and Jiang Zhaodi were involved due to Ding Yue and thus were frightened. Remarkably, these two girls bore no grudge against Ding Yue afterwards, even comforting the self-reproaching Ding Yue for half a day, filling up half a notebook!

These three girls were naturally disciplined and loved studying — otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so anxious about exams. Ultimately, their motivation for playing the plate fairy game was rooted in their adolescent curiosity and slight rebelliousness. Besides, deep down, they didn’t truly believe in ghosts and gods, so they played the game.

Before being choked by the fierce ghost, the plate fairy game, in their minds, was akin to playing a fortune-telling card game. But because plate fairy related to ghosts, it had a creepy and mysteriously chilling element, making it more thrilling.

Mixed jade was everywhere, and it was cheap. The only thing Situ Shuangshuang needed to ensure was that the mixed jade she chose was indeed real and not synthetic. Situ Shuangshuang quickly bought what she needed and returned to school before nightfall.

At night, Ding Yue, Qin Fang, and Jiang Zhaodi sat together to review their studies. When they got tired, they watched with curiosity as Situ Shuangshuang carved the mixed jade with a chisel. Their faces were full of admiration, thinking Situ Shuangshuang was truly amazing — a study god, ghost catcher, and now a skilled carver! Truly versatile!

In reality, what Situ Shuangshuang was carving was particularly simple: it was just a palm-sized jade grinding plate, which didn’t require much technical skill. But Ding Yue and her friends, with rose-tinted glasses of admiration, saw everything she did as marvelous!

Situ Shuangshuang created this small jade grinding plate to grind the ghost. It was meant for the fierce ghost. To avoid scaring Ding Yue and her friends, she waited until they were asleep, pasted a sleep charm on each of them, and then dealt with the fierce ghost issue.

Situ Shuangshuang didn’t bother with lights; after all, with her Dharma Eye, day and night looked the same to her — she could see clearly in both.

After setting the small grinding plate in place, Situ Shuangshuang summoned Xi Lan and Little Shun. Evening was the time when Xi Lan and Little Shun were most spirited.

Although Xi Lan was a demon formed from millennial obsession, leaving the influence of Xi Lan’s memories, her spiritual wisdom was still young and playful at heart.

Little Shun was mature for his age but still a child. His love for play was in his nature. They lived on Situ Shuangshuang’s wrist as neighbors and had become close playmates, getting along very well.

Working together for Situ Shuangshuang didn’t require any getting-used-to, saving her a lot of trouble. Holding the prepared small strainer, Situ Shuangshuang solemnly took the fierce ghost out of the coffin.

When the fierce ghost emerged, it struggled incessantly, screaming and begging Situ Shuangshuang for mercy. Ignoring it, Situ Shuangshuang stuffed the fierce ghost into the jade grinding plate. On the other side, Little Shun began pushing the grindstone, following the instructions Situ Shuangshuang had given earlier. This was true specter grinding, one of Hell’s ultimate punishments!

However, whereas Hell used stone grinding to punish the unforgiven for their crimes, Situ Shuangshuang wasn’t so bored as to mete out personal punishment. She did this to save the old man’s soul, which had been devoured by the fierce ghost.

While carving the small grindstone, Situ Shuangshuang had infused it with a lot of mana. As Little Shun ground, the fierce ghost emitted agonizing shrieks. Unfortunately, these sounds were magically isolated by Situ Shuangshuang, so no one, living or spirit, could hear them.

The fierce ghost, pushed by Little Shun, was pulverized bit by bit into black fine sand, which trickled out of the grind’s spout. Holding a small strainer, Situ Shuangshuang sieved the spirit body ground into fine sand. Meanwhile, Xi Lan gathered the spirit sand bit by bit and replenished it into the small holes on the grindstone.

The fierce ghost was tormented with indescribable pain, wailing and begging Situ Shuangshuang for mercy. Undeterred, Situ Shuangshuang simply watched as Xi Lan once again filled the ghost’s torn soul back into the grindstone, only to be ground again.

Its body was ground into fine sand repeatedly, reconstituted into a complete soul by Xi Lan only to be ground again and again. Tormented to the point of exhaustion, the fierce ghost lost the strength to plead, unaware of how many times it had been ground. Finally, Situ Shuangshuang ceased the torment.

Returning the fierce ghost to the small coffin for imprisonment, Situ Shuangshuang carefully poured the filtered small amount of soul fragments from the strainer onto the table. Then, using her own mana as a guide, she meticulously pieced together the soul fragments!

This was meticulous work. Situ Shuangshuang spent two nights painstakingly reconstituting those fragments into the soul of an old man!

On the old man’s soul, a blinding golden light of merit was evident, indicating he had done much good in life. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have held out so long in the fierce ghost’s belly, waiting for this Heavenly Master’s rescue.

Once the soul was fully reassembled, the old man awakened. Knowing that Situ Shuangshuang had saved him, he expressed boundless gratitude, which Situ Shuangshuang had grown accustomed to. She directly summoned a Ghost Messenger to escort both the fierce ghost and the old man’s souls away.

The end-of-semester exams flew by, and in the blink of an eye, they were over. Ding Yue, Qin Fang, and Jiang Zhaodi wished Situ Shuangshuang goodbye with deep reluctance, appearing very sentimental. Situ Shuangshuang, on the other hand, was mentally planning where to travel during the vacation.

But Situ Shuangshuang’s wish to travel was dashed as soon as she got home, for once again, someone came seeking her help.

This time, it was an old acquaintance, Teacher Gong. Teacher Gong came regarding a younger relative, her brother’s son, who used to be a very obedient child, entirely focused on studying when at school, and solely on work when employed. Even after starting a relationship, he remained a devoted gentleman.

However, about half a month ago, her nephew suddenly changed, becoming infatuated with a plain-looking, always-average temperament, incredibly poor woman. He clamored to break up with his girlfriend to be with this woman, ignoring everyone who tried to dissuade him, as though he had become a different person!

Gong Lanfang’s brother and sister-in-law were at a loss over this, especially since their son’s girlfriend was an excellent girl: beautiful, gracious, filial, with a good bond with their son.
