Xu Kun knew that Xu Ying was giving herself hope, even if that hope would never end.

"If there really is a day when he is resurrected, I will give up the corpse. Of course, if there is a way to transfer him, I will not keep using this body. I also have my own body." Xu Kun lied.

"Really?"

"I have no reason to lie to you."

Xu Ying stood there, stunned, watching him take the clothes upstairs.

Afterwards, Xu Kun changed into the new clothes that Xu Ying had bought for him before going downstairs for a stroll.

"You look very energetic. It's been a long time since I've seen you like this." Xu Ying looked at Xu Kun, who had changed his clothes and styled his hair, and smiled happily.

"What was your name before?" she asked curiously, skewering the cut fruit on her plate with a fork.

"That's my name. Xu means gentle breeze, and Kun means heaven and earth."

"What a coincidence? Could it be some kind of destiny at work?"

Xu Kun looked at the girl who was eating fruit and watching TV, and asked, "According to the information I have, your brother has divorced Wang Yuehong. Did she take the money your brother left you?"

The sudden question startled Xu Ying. Without turning around, her voice held an unusual tone, "What do you want to do?"

"Although I'm not entirely clear on what exactly happened between you two, I can guess a few things. Tell me, and I'll handle it."

"Are you going to get involved in the paranormal world?"

"Things are different now, but I can handle it!"

"I can handle it?" Xu Ying murmured, repeating the question, her voice slightly choked with emotion. "Do you know how many times I've heard that?"

The girl had turned around, her eyes red, clearly recalling unpleasant memories.

"There are some things I will do, and I will find out for myself whether you tell me or not." Xu Kun's tone was domineering and resolute.

Xu Ying fell silent, suddenly feeling very tired. "A few days after my brother died, my pregnant sister-in-law chose to divorce me."

"He ran off with all my brother's money and went with a ghost hunter from Genius Paradise, who was my brother's colleague, named Luo Gang."

"Later I told the people at the branch about this. My brother had handled a paranormal case at the branch and was appreciated. They also helped me with the community I live in and my tuition fees."

"In the end, I got my share of the money back. The branch originally wanted to continue to help me pursue the other half of my brother's inheritance, but that woman threatened me with my brother's child. So I made an agreement with her that once the child was born, I would give it to her and I would not pursue the matter further."

At this point, Xu Ying's face turned icy cold, and her eyes, which had been filled with heartbreak, were now blazing with anger.

Xu Kun felt that she was completely different from before, and he could not see any trace of her former self.

The fact that she could remain calm and smile despite bearing such humiliation alone stirred a sense of pity in Xu Kun's heart.

"Later, the branch demon tamer who appreciated my brother left Taihei City, and that woman came to tell me that the child was not my brother's, and that the child had been aborted long ago."

"I was so angry that I asked for help, but there was no one left to stand up for me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Kun's expression turned very serious. He had thought it was just a simple divorce settlement, but he hadn't expected this turn of events.

Seeing the girl's angry face, Xu Kun raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, wanting to comfort her, but she shook him off.

"So now you know, she's with the people from Genius Paradise. Even if you have my brother's power, what can you do? Going there will only bring you humiliation, and using your abilities will only hasten your death."

"Didn't you just say you would live a good life?" Xu Ying asked, her eyes brimming with tears.

Xu Kun didn't say anything, but simply withdrew his hand, which had been restless for a while.

"Even if a demon tamer doesn't use their abilities, they won't live for long. If I want to live longer, I have to keep going and find a way to extend my lifespan. Besides, I didn't promise to live a good life just now."

"If I do nothing and just wait, it won't take more than a year," Xu Kun explained.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying, who was still angry, froze. She had thought that as long as the Ghost Master did not use his abilities, he could live longer, perhaps three to five years, but she did not expect it to be so short.

She finally understood why her brother had worked so hard to earn money before he died, and Xu Ying burst into tears.

She didn't resist Xu Kun's comforting words this time; she simply let that unfamiliar yet familiar hand fall on her head.

Sobbing continued, and it took her three minutes to manage to calm herself down. Xu Kun handed her a tissue, which Xu Ying wiped her eyes haphazardly before her blurred vision returned.

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. I learned some information during the previous interrogations. Headquarters said they have been researching ways to temporarily slow down the resurgence of paranormal phenomena. With the resources of headquarters, it shouldn't take long."

"Since Genius Paradise is such a place, then I'll join the headquarters," Xu Kun said, concealing his true abilities.

"Really?" Xu Ying's voice was still a little hoarse, but a glimmer of hope appeared in her reddened eyes.

"Of course, but I also need to do some things, like dealing with paranormal events," Xu Kun said in advance, indicating that he wouldn't stay long.

"Um……"

……

The first night after transmigrating passed peacefully.

The next morning, Xu Ying woke up the sleeping Xu Kun. Her eyes flickered with doubt, but she didn't ask any questions.

"My brother rarely stayed at home before. He said that when people are sleeping, they are most relaxed, and when their will is relaxed, they are easily influenced by the supernatural and controlled by forces, causing irreversible consequences."

"He's sleeping so peacefully, could it be that his paranormal resurgence isn't actually that serious?"

Xu Ying swallowed a mouthful of breakfast, then looked at Xu Kun, who hadn't touched his food and was staring at her indifferently, and asked, "By the way, you haven't told me about your story yet. How exactly did you manage to be resurrected?"

"That cemetery is a haunted place. I was just an ordinary person buried there. All I know is that I woke up in a coffin. It's hard to replicate something like that. It's only because this body is devoid of souls that I can control it," Xu Kun casually made up.

He himself was not clear about the details of how he took over the place after transmigrating.

Xu Ying didn't ask any further questions. Looking at Xu Kun who was getting up, she said, "If possible... could you come back for dinner tonight?"

Xu Kun nodded. "I'll come back if nothing serious happens."

……

Instead of going to headquarters, Xu Kun went to his colleague Luo Gang's house based on the images he remembered.

According to fragmented memories, Luo Gang was Xu Kun's mentor. After Xu Kun became a Ghost Master, Luo Gang invited him to join an organization called Genius Paradise. The two had a good relationship and went through some life-and-death events together.

You could say they're good brothers.

The two families often ate together. In the original owner's memories, she trusted this friend very much and seemed to have told him to take good care of her younger sister before she died.

However, considering the circumstances, Luo Gang was clearly courting death.

Xu Kun could already imagine what Luo Gang was thinking as he watched Xu Kun go to the cemetery: "I will take care of your wife's younger sister."

Only because Xu Ying was protected by the branch's people did Luo Gang not forcibly take her down.

Sunshine Villa.

This area is inhabited by wealthy people from Daping City.

Luo Gang's villa is near the original owner's villa, not far away.

The security guards here are all ordinary people with good physical fitness.

Some demon slayers with average abilities will patrol the area to ensure the safety of the wealthy.

In front of Luo Gang's villa, the void distorted, and Xu Kun's figure appeared, using the ghost realm ability of his legs.

Hidden in the void, the ghost realm is represented by only a black light in reality, and it is difficult to find without careful observation.

Xu Kun was observing in front of the villa when a voice came from outside.

"stop!"

The security guard at Luo Gang's house noticed Xu Kun immediately upon his arrival.

He was a large, muscular man whose hand was already on the holster at his waist. "This is private property. If you don't leave now, you'll face the consequences."

Before Xu Kun could say anything, he froze, looking as if he'd seen a ghost, his voice trembling, "Xu...Xu Kun...you're Xu Kun?"

"Are you a human or a ghost?"
