Three times married to Yama

"The simplest way is to destroy this ghost of wealth, why agree to find her daughter?" Master Lu sneered.

Destroying the Yin Wealth Ghost is simple, but that's not what I need. She possesses a strong obsession, which is what the Spirit Crossing Fan requires.

Moreover, it can also help my father accumulate good karma and repay his karmic debts.

I looked coldly at Master Lu. "This is my master's choice. Master Lu, I advise you not to get involved in this matter."

"No way." Master Lu refused decisively. "I have to protect Old Master Pei, and the Pei family needs another ghost of wealth."

The next ghost money collector? Pei Jiayin?

I almost forgot, I'll ask Grandpa Pei and Master Lu later where Pei Jiayin is.

However, I need to put Pan Yi away for now.

Seeing that I took out the sealing talisman, Master Lu suddenly threw the ghost-slaying talisman at Pan Yi.

!!!

This Master Lu is truly devoid of martial ethics!

Just as I was putting all my effort into chasing after her to retrieve the exorcising talisman, the entire Yuandu Temple suddenly flashed with blue light, and the exorcising talisman that was about to be affixed to Pan Yi suddenly froze in mid-air, as if time had stopped.

I,"?"

This blue light, this stillness...

Before I could speak, I heard a familiar voice from above.

"Coming to this desolate mountain in the middle of the night, Ah Yin, why didn't you tell me?"

With that voice, a tall and imposing figure stood beside me.

I turned my head and saw Yan Jinyue, dressed in a Chinese-style long robe, appear mysteriously in this desolate wilderness.

"Lord Yama!" Upon seeing Yama Jinyue appear, the girl ran over happily.

Apart from me, Yan Jinyue, and the maiden, everyone else was frozen in place.

The girl ran up to Yan Jinyue, raised her little head and looked at him expectantly, as if seeking praise.

"Lord Yama, I've been diligently protecting my wife these past few days, and I won't let any man lay a finger on her!"

Yan Jinyue patted the girl's head gently, "Yes, you did very well, you will be rewarded."

I,"?"

Does he mean that it was better to protect me as a virgin, or better to prevent other men from touching me?

He said strange things.

I looked at Yan Jinyue and asked, "Why are you here? And why do you appear and disappear so suddenly?"

Couldn't you have told me before you came? That would have given me time to prepare.

Yan Jinyue's expression was calm, and her gaze was gentle. "I am not human, so it is normal for me to appear and disappear unexpectedly. I just came to see if you need any help."

"However, it seems you do need some help right now."

As he spoke, he pointed to the ghost-destroying talisman that was suspended in the air and frozen in place.

Actually, even if Yan Jinyue hadn't come, I could have handled it. But since he's come to help me, I certainly can't refuse his kindness.

"Thank you so much, Lord Yama," I said with a slight smile, then reached out and put the exorcising talisman into my pouch.

Yan Jinyue's gaze sharpened, and her eyes fixed on me.

"I still prefer you to call me Lord Fu," he replied.

I,"……"

He made everyone else call him Yama, but he made me call him Lord of the Underworld. Isn't that inappropriate?

Besides, this "Lord of the Mansion" sounds really like my husband. Could he be flirting with me?

As soon as I thought of that, I remembered what he said to me on our wedding night, and his previous ninety-eight wives. I don't want to become a memorial tablet standing there!

I chuckled awkwardly twice before replying, "Then I'll just call you by your name. It's not appropriate to give me special treatment."

I strongly suspect that Yan Jinyue is secretly testing me. If I show any interest in him, he will kill me on the spot and make me his ninety-ninth bride.

Tsk, what a scheming man.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he suddenly asked.

Hmm? Was my gaze at him particularly obvious just now?

"That's an expression of worship," I made up.

Before Yan Jinyue could ask any more questions, I said, "I've already obtained the Ghost-Slaying Talisman, so you don't need to remain still anymore."

"Um."

As Yan Jinyue responded softly, the blue light flashed again, and the surrounding environment instantly returned to normal.

Master Lu still wore a triumphant smile; he could already foresee the Yin Cai Gui's soul being scattered after the exorcising talisman was affixed to it.

But the next second he was shocked, confused, and bewildered. Where was his ghost-slaying talisman? How could it have vanished into thin air?

Meanwhile, the Yin Cai Gui (a ghostly figure) Pan Yi was also enveloped in a deep blue barrier. She kept ramming against the barrier, trying to get out, but she bounced back every time she hit it.

"Quiet." Yan Jinyue spoke calmly, and those two words stopped Pan Yi in her tracks, calming her down and preventing her from futilely trying to break through the barrier.

"Where's my exorcising talisman? What's going on?" Master Lu's eyes were so wide they almost popped out.

Master Lu looked around, his gaze completely ignoring Yan Jinyue beside me, as if he couldn't see him.

It seems that Yan Jinyue appeared beside me this time while invisible.

Perhaps sensing what I was thinking, Yan Jinyue continued, "It's best if they can't see me, so you don't have to find reasons for why I'm here."

I glanced at Yan Jinyue with some surprise. "To be honest, sometimes I think you're a really nice person, really considerate."

"Only sometimes?" Yan Jinyue asked.

Actually, Yan Jinyue is quite nice most of the time, but thinking about what he said at their wedding still makes me feel a bit creeped out.

This time I didn't answer him. I picked up the sealing talisman I had used before and sealed Pan Yi inside the barrier.

Let's take Pan Yi away first. I have a really bad feeling about the Iris Temple, so we need to leave here first.

I walked up to my mother and said to her, "Madam Pei, I have already dealt with the Yin Wealth Ghost. You should take Old Master Pei back first. I still need to stay here to clean up the mess."

"What? You're going to stay here?" My mom was very worried. "I'm not comfortable with that. Let's go together."

I gently shook my head. "I still have some things to take care of. Trust me."

As I spoke, I looked at Xia Zheng and told him to come down the mountain with my mother and to call me immediately if anything happened.

However, although I trust Xia Zheng, he is just an ordinary person. If we encounter a supernatural event, he might not be able to handle it, so I let the girl go with me.

"Alright then, you must be careful." My mom squeezed my hand tightly.

"Mm." I nodded.

Then a group of bodyguards carried Grandpa Pei and protected my mother, and hurried down the mountain as soon as it was getting light.

At this moment, only Yan Jinyue, Master Lu, and I remained at the Yidu Temple.

I looked at Master Lu and said, "Master Lu, your employer has left, why aren't you leaving yet?"

"Your master has already left, why aren't you leaving yet?" Master Lu asked in return.

He looked me up and down, his eyes full of suspicion. "Girl, tell me honestly, did you take my ghost-slaying talisman?"

Faced with Master Lu's questioning, I did not intend to hide anything; I have always been an honest person.

"I took it," I replied. "But how can you prove the exorcism talisman is yours? I didn't steal it from you."

Master Lu, "You're utterly unreasonable! How dare you steal my things? There are only the two of us here in the middle of nowhere, aren't you afraid I'll kill you and take the talisman?"

As he spoke, his gaze greedily fell upon the Blue Spirit Star on my wrist. He continued, "Your bracelet is quite special; it seems to have an automatic defense function. Why don't you give it to me, and I won't pursue the matter of you taking my Ghost-Exterminating Talisman?"

It turns out that Master Lu wanted to take my Blue Spirit Star, but unfortunately, the original owner of Blue Spirit Star is right here.

I laughed. "You think you can trade my defensive magic item for a mere ghost-slaying talisman? Master Lu, you're dreaming too much!"

"This Ghost-Slaying Talisman of mine is no ordinary item. It's a treasure capable of annihilating a vengeful ghost in one strike. Compared to your defensive magic treasure, the Ghost-Slaying Talisman is no worse, is it?" Master Lu said with a forced smile.

I was almost laughing in anger at Master Lu's shamelessness.

Trading a one-time exorcising talisman for an unlimited defensive magic item? I'd be out of my mind to agree to such an outrageous request.

I was just about to say a few sarcastic remarks to this shameless man, since he was no match for me even if we were to fight.

Suddenly, a cold hand landed on my shoulder; it was Yan Jinyue.

"Leave it to me," he said.

I swallowed the words that were on the tip of my tongue. Fine, I'd like to see what Yan Jinyue is going to do.
