My wife is an invincible female ghost.

In fact, the nun's annoyance was entirely justified.

For example, she might simply live a leisurely life in her Xuanyun Temple, where she might be busy or not at all throughout the day.

After all, she was the only one in that temple.

She could sleep in as late as she wanted, and no one bothered her. Occasionally, when she felt particularly free, she would do her homework, tap on a small chime, or tidy herself up.

Today is just such a leisurely and carefree day.

The mandarin fish in the peach blossom stream were just right. She was holding a small steel fork, intending to spear a plump mandarin fish for herself to make hot pot, when suddenly she was intercepted by a female ghost!

Then they were escorted all the way here.

Ask her again what she needs to do—

Oh, this female ghost needs her to accompany her husband on a trip into the forbidden dungeon.

Xu Qingyuan: "…………"

...Isn't that her house?

Chu Shan could just stroll around like he was in the back garden; there was no danger to his life. Why would she need to intervene?

Feng Wan certainly had her own reasons, and they were quite reasonable.

For example, humans are social animals. A person going to an unfamiliar territory alone might be a little scared, but it's a completely different story if someone is with them.

It's a pity that Feng Wan can't go in with Chu Shan.

Otherwise, her husband would have to be distracted to protect her, who is weak and unable to take care of herself. Wouldn't that be a hindrance?

Feng Wan smiled slightly again.

Furthermore, Xu Qingyuan was a Taoist priest, making him a natural symbol of faith.

As long as she stands there in her Taoist robe, exuding an otherworldly and ethereal aura, she inexplicably inspires a sense of trust and security.

Given that there is no danger to his life on this trip, Xu Qingyuan's role becomes very clear.

She wanted to comfort Chu Shan when he was scared, and use her status as a master to tell him that he would be very safe as long as she was there.

If some ignorant little monster suddenly appears in front of you, tell it with an air of righteous indignation, "Yes, this is how their forbidden land is." That's perfectly normal.

They were just a little mischievous; they didn't mean any harm.

When he's hungry, I take him to eat; when he's thirsty, I pour him water.

Make sure he's comfortable and well taken care of, so that Chu Shan will want to go back again and again.

If he ever feels unhappy out there, he can think of going there to clear his head. The old school study rooms late at night, the trams that never stop, the old shops with oil-paper umbrellas in the rainy alleys—it has all sorts of places!

He can go wherever he wants.

She would always be there for him.

Oh, and besides that, Chu Shan's two sisters-in-law also wanted to meet their new son-in-law.

—Considering that the two Lin sisters are the ones who are slightly closer to Feng Wan on the Ghost Vein side, and they have always called her "elder sister" or "big sister", it is actually reasonable to call them Chu Shan's aunts.

Let Xu Qingyuan handle this; she won't interfere.

If Chu Shan is truly afraid, then he will disappear.

Let him stay with humans all the time, and pick him up when it's time.

From then on, Feng Wan would carefully conceal her identity and never mention it again.

She would only tie her hair up and wholeheartedly be her husband's wife. What did other people and other things have to do with her?

A hundred years later...

Forget it. Let's focus on making the most of this next century before talking about the next one.

She doesn't want it to last only a hundred years.

She wanted more.

She loved him very much and wanted to be with her husband for a long, long time.

They say that familiarity breeds affection. Once her identity could no longer be hidden, she felt that her husband might develop some fleeting feelings for her.

Oops.

As for why Xu Qingyuan was the one who accompanied him into the forbidden instance...

Of course, it's because she's her only connection! She doesn't know anyone else.

Feng Wan was perfectly justified!

Besides, she knew Xu Qingyuan's personality a little. After being threatened by her, others might develop a rebellious mentality. If they didn't dare to lay a hand on her, they would definitely lay a hand on her husband.

But Xu Qingyuan wouldn't.

He is a good person.

Her sword will not harm any ordinary people.

...Then Xu Qingyuan had something to say.

Good people deserve to have guns pointed at them, right?

This must be the emperor, right? Even when he goes on a trip, he needs a maid to serve him tea and water and attend to him personally.

If Feng Wan is willing to serve tea and water, then go ahead and do so; don't bring her along!

He's not her husband!

Xu Qingyuan said, "Then why don't you take my noodles and dress up as me to stay by his side? I'm willing to lend you my identity."

This made them all happy.

Feng Wan said, "That won't do, I have something to do."

Xu Qingyuan: "What is it?"

Feng Wan said, "It's a big deal."

Xu Qingyuan: "..."

It's so annoying! And Feng Wan, that stingy guy, isn't willing to give her a single penny. Who would want to come out and work for free?

Xu Qingyuan was annoyed by this.

The Taoist nun's smile seemed somewhat forced.

Chu Shan, who was just entering, was also somewhat stunned.

The two girls sat side by side on the sofa.

Feng Wan sat a little further back, and while maintaining a smile, she subtly nudged Xu Qingyuan with her elbow.

"Ah..." The other person forced another smile, looked up at Chu Shan and said numbly, "Yes, I am a master."

"Xuanyun Temple, Xu Qingyuan."

Chu Shan: "…………"

Feng Wan prepared a table full of delicious dishes, even more lavish than usual, to entertain the esteemed Xu Qingyuan.

The expert was seated at the head of the table, flanked by the couple on either side.

Feng Wan was very humble and subservient, truly adopting the attitude one would show to a superior. She spoke softly and gently, serving food to Xu Qingyuan, her tone full of pleading with Xu Qingyuan to protect her husband.

Xu Qingyuan couldn't help but rub her face.

She tentatively picked up a small green vegetable that Feng Wan had placed in her bowl.

Good heavens! One day she actually ate a meal cooked by a female ghost!

She couldn't taste anything at all; it tasted bland and tasteless.

"I'm full," Xu Qingyuan said, putting down her chopsticks.

In fact, Chu Shan also seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

For example, he and his wife suspected that they had been scammed. How could she find such a master online so easily?

He reasonably suspected that Feng Wan was desperately seeking treatment from anyone.

He had actually considered spending a lot of money to find a powerful backer online. But then he thought, his family didn't have that much money. And even if he did pay a lot, there was no guarantee he'd survive.

It's better to leave the money in a more useful place.

But Feng Wan had already gone this far, and he really couldn't refuse her or the expert's request to her face.

I didn't want her efforts to be in vain.

...Then let's try anything in desperation.

Of all the people at this dinner party, probably only one ghost was genuinely happy.

My performative instincts are kicking in!

As Xu Qingyuan turned to leave, Feng Wan quickly stood up and said, "I'll see Master Xu off."
