Chapter 276 Intimacy (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

"?" Jiuge suddenly stood up and broke free from An Chen's embrace.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's a boy named Hua Zhijian, right?" Meng Ninghua asked after thinking for a while.

“Yes!” Jiuge nodded vigorously.

"He went to your place to make a wish?" An Chen stretched out his arm and pulled Jiu Ge back into his embrace.

"Alas..." Jiuge murmured softly, caught off guard.

"Um……"

Meng Ninghua had mixed feelings.

Why am I forced to watch others show off their love even though I've been dead for so long...?

If she hadn't died back then, she probably could have married a good husband and enjoyed what she was meant to enjoy.

"However, it's strange that the wish he made when drawing lots was about the deceased, and he also has a strong aura of the dead on him." Meng Ninghua calmed herself down and explained to the two people in front of her.

"The aura of the dead?" Jiuge nervously looked up and glanced at An Chen's chin.

“…” An Chen narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

It wasn't particularly unexpected.

He had considered this possibility from the beginning.

“Well, but I didn’t agree to grant his wish. His object of affection should have already gone to the underworld.” Meng Ninghua waved her hand, and a retro-style red chair appeared behind her.

After she sat down, a teacup and water appeared out of thin air in her hands.

"What about An Chen?" Jiu Ge nervously touched An Chen's arm.

It's still so cold.

And now her buttocks feel ice-cold.

“If I’m not mistaken, An En Gong does indeed have the aura of the dead, so it’s not surprising that he exudes a cold aura.” Meng Ninghua took an elegant sip of tea.

"Huh?" Jiuge's face turned deathly pale instantly.

An Chen still didn't react, he just gently touched Jiu Ge's hand.

"But don't worry, it just means they're like the deceased, not that they're already dead or about to die." Seeing that Jiuge had misunderstood, Meng Ninghua quickly explained.

If this were the cause of death, then Hua Zhijian would not have been able to live to this day.

"Are there any side effects?" Upon hearing this, Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great, she thought she was going to have a ghost marriage.

Hearing this question, Meng Ninghua felt a little shy.

She coughed and said softly, "In the short term, it might be a little inconvenient when you're being intimate..."

"Intimacy!?" Jiuge clutched her head, her face flushing red from her ears all the way down to the base of her neck.

"Hmm, what about long-term?" An Chen chuckled softly, his expression remaining calm.

"In the long run, there's a slight possibility that he'll become neither human nor ghost." Meng Ninghua hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

After all, Hua Zhijian himself was neither human nor ghost.

"What?" Jiuge took her hand off her head in disbelief.

She wondered if she had misheard.

"In short, I will find a way. Just like with the knight's matter, it may be difficult, but I should be able to solve it." Meng Ninghua stood up again.

With another wave of his hand, the chair and teacup vanished together.

She smiled gently, her expression becoming profound.

“In your current state, you could probably go straight to the underworld and not be expelled; you could blend in perfectly.” Meng Ninghua bowed to the two of them, then knelt down.

“?” An Chen and Jiu Ge were completely bewildered.

These inexplicable words and information sound rather strange.

"Get up quickly," Jiuge said.

“If the information my daughter heard is correct, those who went missing in Jingcheng will soon be declared dead, because they simply cannot be found where the living are.” Meng Ninghua shook her head, her expression grave.

"What do you mean?" An Chen frowned slightly.

"Are they in the underworld?" Jiuge voiced the question that was on An Chen's mind.

“Very likely.” Meng Ninghua nodded.

Her source of information is correct.

"How reliable is the information?" Jiuge tossed her hair, her expression serious.

"It's basically confirmed." Meng Ninghua didn't hesitate at all.

"What is the source?" An Chen frowned slightly.

“Huang Lao’s daughter, Huang Jingjing,” Meng Ninghua replied.

"..." Jiuge's expression changed instantly.

"She didn't make any wishes for you, did she?" An Chen tightened his grip on Jiu Ge's hand.

“I refused, and by the way, I told her in a dream that you and Mrs. An were a perfect match,” Meng Ninghua replied after a moment’s thought.

"Well done." An Chen nodded in satisfaction.

This Meng Ninghua is indeed very knowledgeable.

"Phew." Jiuge's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Just as she relaxed, Meng Ninghua made another startling remark: "There is another matter; Hua Zhijian is probably also in the underworld."

"?"

An Chen was also stunned this time.

"For your sake, you may have no choice but to go."

Meng Ninghua stated her thoughts frankly.

"I understand." An Chen sighed and released Jiu Ge.

“Then I…” Jiuge quickly turned around.

“You should…” An Chen refused decisively, but was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"I want to come too!" Jiuge's attitude was very firm.

Although the underworld may be terrifying, if An Chen were to disappear there alone, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

"I'll figure something out for Madam An," Meng Ninghua said slowly, glancing at Jiu Ge.

"Thank you, Miss Meng."

Now that Meng Ninghua had said so, Jiuge felt relieved.

At least the other party is professional in this area and can do many things.

"You're welcome," Meng Ninghua said with a smile.

She glanced at An Chen and then changed the subject: "I know that my benefactor has been slacking off on the matter my daughter asked me to handle."

An Chen fell silent.

“Not… completely slacking off.” Jiu Ge blinked at Meng Ninghua.

"I'm entrusting this to my benefactor and Madam An. If you're going to the underworld, could you please help my daughter find that guy?" Meng Ninghua sighed, her head drooping lower and lower.

Meng Ninghua is unable to enter the underworld due to her special circumstances.

If she could, she would also like to catch the person who harmed her with her own hands.

"This is something I prepared for you, a piece of wood from my grave. With it, we might be able to find him." She looked up again and pulled a deformed piece of wood from her bosom.

This was something that inexplicably appeared in my pocket when I died.

If there are no problems, then he should be the murderer.

With her diligent watering over the years, this piece of wood has now come to possess a spirit.

“I understand,” An Chen nodded.

The next moment, the wood "phantomized" and appeared in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Meng Ninghua beamed with joy: "Then I'll take my leave now. Thank you, benefactor, for helping me cure this zombie-like condition."

She slowly stood up, seemingly relieved.

"You're welcome," Jiu Ge replied for An Chen.

She licked her lips, recalling a clip from a zombie TV series she'd seen by chance before: "You know zombie movies?"

Meng Ninghua shyly pulled out a handkerchief and covered her face: "My daughter occasionally sneaks a peek through her own channels."

"..."

Chapter 277 Miss Jiuge is very unrestrained (Seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)

on Tuesday.

An Chen had just returned from school when Doctor Frog was already sitting in the apartment, just as promised.

"Hello."

After exchanging greetings and putting down his backpack, An Chen walked straight to Jiu Ge, who had a serious expression, and sat down next to her.

"An Chen, An Chen, the frog doctor said there's a way, you can still be saved!" Jiu Ge whispered, leaning close to An Chen's ear.

With Dr. Frog's guarantee and Meng Ninghua's efforts, it's possible that An Chen's symptoms can be completely resolved in the future without having to make a special trip to the Underworld.

She thought about it for a long time these past two days and still felt that it was very dangerous for a living person to sneak into the underworld.

Even if we manage to get in, there's no way to know what will happen once we're inside.
