Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

Later, when Gu Jun'an heard that Gu Jun'gui had gone to the capital and become a widow, she was also worried and wondered if this meant that Gu Jun'gui had taken the blame for her.

But she was still mostly jealous, and sighed:

"So you can say that Jun Gui is really lucky. Before, she was always out playing and would make soup for Xiao Mingkong. Then, she was chosen by the Cui family without even realizing it. Now, she is indebted to Mingkong for repaying his mother's kindness. When you go back to your parents' home, he will personally accompany you back."

With such a fine young man by my side, even if I do nothing, it's pleasing to the eye!

Gu Jun'an's youngest daughter was already a little sleepy, and said drowsily while fishing:

"My mother has me, her young master, to keep her company!"

"no the same!"

As the little girl gradually fell asleep, they began to talk about their married life in the bedroom.

There were some questions that Gu Jungui didn't know how to answer, and could only respond with a helpless smile.

However, it was still a comfortable atmosphere to chat with relatives and friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

After chatting for a while, the meeting had to end. The group of young women felt even more bitter when they saw Chu Mingkong personally come to take Gu Jungui back to her room.

"Oh dear, the more I look at it, the angrier I get. With such a godson around, it feels like I don't even need a husband anymore!"

......

Chu Mingkong led Aunt Gu back to the room, and recalling the resentful atmosphere at the end of the event, he became quite curious.

"Aunt Gu, what just happened? It looked like they were arguing."

"No, it was just a joke."

"What were they talking about?" Chu Mingkong had assumed the young women were comforting each other about their ghost encounters, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"We were just chatting about our lives over the years. It's a woman's private conversation. Why are you asking so many questions?" Gu Jun Gui said irritably.

However, she harbored a deep-seated worry, fearing that Chu Mingkong would become too smug if he found out about the women's attitude towards him!

Chu Mingkong noticed the slightly reproachful expression on Aunt Gu's face, a charming young woman's allure. Her mature and fragrant breath flowed from her eyes into his heart, instantly igniting a burning desire within him.

Gu Jun Gui was being held by him when he suddenly felt a push against him. He was furious and said in a low voice:

"You naughty thing, how could you just kick the bucket like that? Mingkong, you still have to exorcise ghosts tonight, what are you thinking!"

Chu Mingkong knew it was about exorcising ghosts, but he just couldn't bring himself to take it seriously.

Especially after Qingning told him that the female ghost wasn't that strong, he didn't want to spend too much energy waiting for her to come to him. He just wanted to focus his energy on Aunt Gu!

Seeing that Chu Mingkong remained silent, Gu Jungui held her tightly and whispered:

"This is still at my parents' house; I'll only be allowed to act recklessly after I go back..."

"It's okay, I'll just say I hid a Vajra Pestle in my pants and see if that female ghost gets scared!"

"Are you trying to kill me?" Gu Jun Gui lightly slapped him and scolded, "After hearing about the second son-in-law's life-and-death friendship, do you want to try it too? Don't bring the female ghost back to Qingxin Mansion and cause chaos!"

"No! I was just joking~" Chu Mingkong laughed heartily. Although he felt he should sympathize with Gu Wenkai, seeing how weak he looked, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gu Jungui gently broke free from the man's arm, pulled him onto the bed, made him sit down on the edge of the bed, and then knelt down in front of him.

The beautiful woman unconsciously recalled the scene she had accidentally witnessed Mingkong's two mothers playing with their son. At that time, the Princess of Chu seemed to be holding a dumpling... and stammering or something.

A fragrant bodice quietly fell to the ground.

Two proud, full breasts were presented to Chu Mingkong by a pair of delicate hands, but his attention was not on them.

Chu Mingkong sensed that the wardrobe seemed to be filled with a dark aura.

"Aunt Gu, can I ask you something? Is there anything special about the wardrobe in your room?" He placed his hands on the back of Aunt Gu's head, stroking her hair (actually, he was using his hands to protect her head).

"Hmm..." Aunt Gu temporarily relented, puzzled as to why he suddenly asked this. After recalling for a moment, she said, "We used to buy a nearly thousand-year-old locust tree at a high price to make furniture. There was a wardrobe like this in every room. It cost a lot of money back then."

Even if Chu Mingkong knew very little about ghosts, he knew that locust trees and willow trees were types of trees that easily attracted ghosts, accumulating yin energy to nurture ghosts.

They've even used a thousand-year-old locust tree to make furniture. That tree is definitely old enough; are they worried about ghosts having nowhere to live...?

Just as he finished thinking that, he saw the wardrobe move.

Then,

The wardrobe door was not open, but a pale-skinned woman's head slowly emerged from the shadow on the door. Her long, black hair was messy like seaweed, and her completely black eyes could be vaguely seen. She was staring intently at Chu Mingkong.

As if stuck, she pushed her arms outward with force, and in her bent-over position, a pair of dangling breasts sprang out, soft and swaying, their weight...

Chu Mingkong looked at the female ghost's penis, and the female ghost was also looking at his penis.

They almost unanimously said:

"What a huge female ghost!" "What a huge... man..."

Gu Jungui froze, forgetting that he was still mumbling something, and asked blankly, "Wh...cough...whose voice is that?"

Chapter Nineteen: Salvation

The way this female ghost made her entrance was quite something...

Chu Mingkong meant that it was quite shocking that it had been hidden in the wardrobe, Old Wang's exclusive space.

Considering that this female ghost could cause unrest throughout the entire Gu family, making them dream of ghosts every night, Chu Mingkong suspected that this female ghost could freely move around in this thousand-year-old locust wood wardrobe, much like Doraemon pulling out any door from his crotch.

Chu Mingkong acted decisively, instantly unleashing the Annihilation Domain, enveloping the entire room in a gray-white world.

The female ghost sensed something ominous and immediately tried to retreat, but she was no match for the speed at which the Annihilation Domain expanded. Her eerie face was frozen in a moment of resentment and fear.

"Mingkong, that voice just now was..." Gu Jungui's face was tense and frightened.

Although she possesses cultivation skills, she primarily uses them for beauty and health maintenance, without undergoing the trials of combat. Consequently, her attitude towards unusual events is no different from that of ordinary people.

A pair of delicate hands, which had been holding the dumpling, unconsciously changed to gripping the handle, as if holding a rolling pin in front of them for self-defense. Chu Mingkong could even feel the coldness in Aunt Gu's palms.

"A female ghost has escaped from the closet in your room, the one behind you. But don't worry, I've frozen her in place. Aunt Gu, if you're ready, just turn around and take a look."

Chu Mingkong said calmly, even thoughtfully shielding her cheeks to prevent her from accidentally seeing it out of the corner of her eye.

Don't let his calm demeanor fool you; he's just had a lot of combat experience. In fact, aside from the fact that the female ghost's two lumps of flesh were indeed a bit big, a bit wobbly, a bit soft, a bit white, and had two nipples..., she was quite a creepy thing.

After mentally preparing yourself, if you stare at her, your facial muscles will twitch and your eyebrows will furrow.

"That filthy thing... is she scary?" Aunt Gu asked anxiously, tightening her grip on Chu Mingkong's weakness.

"It's a bit creepy, Aunt Gu. You can imagine it as a room with several flying cockroaches covered in poop scurrying around."

"That's terrifying!"

However, with Chu Mingkong by her side, Aunt Gu calmed down and, driven by curiosity, slowly turned her face to look at the female ghost.

The moment that unclean thing came into her sight, she turned her face away, then opened her eyelids to take a few more glances before gradually getting used to it and confirming that such a ghostly thing really existed in the world she knew.

"This female ghost... she doesn't even have clothes on properly, at least cover her breasts, she's shameless..."

Chu Mingkong didn't expect that Aunt Gu's first complaint was about this, and he couldn't help but laugh.

However, to be fair, after seeing this female ghost, Chu Mingkong could understand why the second son-in-law dared to muster up the courage to take such a risk in the middle of the night.

"It's alright, this female ghost is the kind that's deeply entangled... cough cough, she censored herself, she's pretty conservative."

Chu Mingkong stopped arguing and gave Aunt Gu a heads-up. Then he released the Domain of Annihilation. Without the restriction that forbade killing, he made a grasping motion, and a large black hand surging with extremely yin energy grabbed the female ghost and forcibly pulled her out of the wardrobe, bringing her in front of Chu Mingkong.

The extremely yin hand pressed against the female ghost's skin like a branding iron, making a sizzling sound as the black resentment and malevolent energy of the female ghost were corroded by the power of extreme yin.

"Mingkong, are you going to kill this female ghost?" Aunt Gu didn't dare to get too close to the female ghost. She stuffed her plump little dumpling back into her clothes while hiding behind Chu Mingkong.

She wasn't compassionate or merciful; she was simply a little uncomfortable. This female ghost retained her human form, and not everyone could get used to the death of their own kind.

"Of course, this female ghost was very kind to the Gu family in the dream, and she was vicious. Besides, I didn't kill her, I was just performing a ritual to help her pass on and resolve the hatred and pain that tormented her."

The female ghost's intelligence was clearly incomplete; she was still conscious, but it was dominated by resentment. Faced with Chu Mingkong's words, she retained an instinctive will to struggle and survive, but she did not say anything to defend herself or express her grievances.

However, Chu Mingkong was unsure whether simply crushing the ghost would work, so he needed to consult a professional team, the "super ghost" experts (who perform exorcisms for evil spirits).

He had just sent the message when he received a reply in Jin Yu's handwriting, though it was indeed a reply written in Qing Ning's handwriting.

Do all the girls in your family sleep together? They were chatting and suddenly they all started to be afraid of ghosts.

[Wei Qingning (in Jin Yu's handwriting): Chu Lang, show me what a ghost looks like!]

Chu Mingkong sent Jin Yu a picture of the female ghost and explained his urgent situation, asking her to return the note to Qing Ning. Only then was Qing Ning able to respond normally.

[Wei Qingning: I suggest that you use the power of extreme Yang to perform the ritual... Using the power of extreme Yin is actually quite cruel. A normal ritual to release a ghost, whether using violent means or resolving its lingering resentment, dissolves that resentful and malevolent energy. The power of extreme Yin completely annihilates it, so it doesn't count as a true ritual.]

[Chu Mingkong: I see. Then I'll use the Supreme Yang Power later.]

[Wei Qingning: Also, we should replace the wardrobe and check it again for any other ghostly remnants. However, based on the previous situation, this female ghost is most likely harboring resentment, which is why she transformed into a fierce and vengeful spirit. We might as well ask her what the reason was, and also ask about the haunted brothel and what happened there.]

[Chu Mingkong: I asked her if she would tell?]

[Wei Qingning: Generally, yes. All the things vengeful ghosts do are ultimately to vent their resentment, and expressing their resentment is also a form of venting, just like expressing the grievances in their hearts.]

Chu Mingkong did as Qingning said, and sure enough, he got her to reveal her resentment. However, the content was full of curses and swearing, and she would only include a small sentence of the main text after hurling insults for most of the time.

The inquiry process was quite difficult.

I can't remember the woman's family background or name, but she was at least the daughter of a wealthy merchant family.

Dissatisfied with the marriage arranged for her by her parents, she secretly ran away to wander around and met a down-on-his-luck scholar with considerable literary talent.

She was basically a sheltered young lady who didn't understand the ways of the world. She was attracted by the melancholy of a down-on-his-luck scholar who felt his talents were not being recognized. She also thought he had a good ambition and a promising future, so she eloped with him, moved by her own feelings.

Having heard countless stories of wealthy heiresses and down-on-his-luck scholars, Chu Mingkong never imagined it would actually happen...

However, after the scholar conceived a child in the girl's womb, he passed the imperial examination and received an invitation from his superiors who wanted to recruit him into their faction, but it required a marriage alliance.

Then the scholar abandoned the girl who had eloped with him, drugged her with some unknown method, and killed her along with the child.

One party happily gets promoted, becomes rich, and loses his wife, while the other party dies with resentment and becomes a vengeful ghost.

Chu Mingkong muttered to himself:

"Could this be the second son-in-law? No, the second son-in-law is just a third-ranked scholar, no high-ranking official would want him. He's not what you're looking for. He's probably just attracted to this female ghost girl because of his melancholy and weak-willed temperament."

Gu Jungui looked sorrowful and whispered to him:

“Mingkong… I listened for a while. This female ghost girl’s cursing dialect isn’t standard. She’s from the town where the Jin massacre happened. She probably moved there for a while and picked up some swear words and dialect, but it’s not particularly standard…”

The implication is that the place where the female ghost finally died was probably the town that was used as an experimental subject, which was also probably the town where she eloped and stayed with the scholar to study.
