Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Qi Will Still Beat You Up

"Another one trying to scare Qi," Yun Qi shook her head and sighed, "I won’t beat around the bush with you. What’s so impressive about a ghost like you? Aren’t you just a Mountain Ghost? I’ve known for a while."

"You!" The woman’s figure paused, very astonished.

In an instant, a woman’s figure appeared in one corner of the study’s ceiling.

But this woman looked nothing like the female ghost everyone imagined.

She was stunningly beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, her eyes filled with soft affection. She wore no clothes, with loops of green vines wrapped around her chest and waist, holding a flower in her hand, looking fresh and vibrant. Her long legs were snow-white, bare feet, ankles adorned with a ring of golden jade bells, jingling as she moved.

She didn’t look like a ghost, but rather had an aura of a fairy.

"Mountain Ghost, you should keep your divine status and stop causing trouble in the human world!" Yun Qi wasn’t scared of her at all, straightened up, and scolded her.

"You’re not afraid of me?"

"Why would I be scared of you? Although Mountain Ghosts can be considered Gods, they haven’t been officially consecrated, so they’re not True Gods. If you dare to harm anyone, Qi will still beat you up!" Her aura grew even fiercer.

The Mountain Ghost’s beautiful face showed some reluctance, "I haven’t harmed anyone. Our Mountain Ghost clan is inherently passionate and entangled. The romance of Wu Mountain and affairs of dew are our traditions. Besides, I took them into the painting to live a different life. How can that be called harming people?"

"Xiao Shan..." Xu Shixiong came back from the balcony, shocked to see the Mountain Ghost. "It was really you?"

"What? You plan to side with them and oppose me?" The Mountain Ghost’s beautiful eyes widened, an evil air arising because of her extreme beauty.

"Me? Don’t come near," Xu Shixiong backed up half a step, "though I like you, it’s absolutely impossible for me to go with you. I also can’t let you harm my family."

The Mountain Ghost was taken aback, "You’re truly a cold-hearted man. Didn’t you say you would give up everything for me?"

"How am I cold-hearted? Since we met, haven’t I spent a lot of money on you?"

Mo Wanting and the others were all stunned, "She’s a ghost, how do you spend money on her?"

"Do you have a problem with that?" The Mountain Ghost swooped down, her beautiful face appearing right in front of Mo Wanting.

Mo Wanting screamed in fear and hid behind Yun Qi.

"The Mountain Ghost Temple, you haven’t heard of it. Because she’s not a True God, she doesn’t get much incense worship, just some villagers in remote places worshipping her in the name of the Mountain God. That meager incense was far from enough, so she sought out wealthy people to deceive for incense money," Yun Qi explained.

"Right, I spent tens of millions on incense money for her, and also built her a temple in the mountains," Xu Shixiong said.

"I haven’t treated you badly. Once you come into the painting with me, your entire family will become my servants, and your property will be used as incense money. I won’t mistreat you." The Mountain Ghost tilted her head, earnestly discussing her plans, her bright and innocent eyes even revealing some naivety.

"I..." Xu Shixiong was at a loss for words.

Just then, Yun Qiuce suddenly said, "I get it now. The whole ’Mountain Ghost’s affection’ thing is actually just you aiming at his money and foolishness, and him aiming at your youthful beauty and non-human status."

Mountain Ghost: ...

Xu Shixiong: ...

It seemed right.

"The adult world is so troublesome. Qi doesn’t understand such emotional matters," Yun Qi squinted her eyes, smiling slightly, her sweet and crisp baby voice.

"But harming people is absolutely not allowed. If one’s lifespan isn’t over, forcibly taking them away is still considered harming them." Yun Qi spread her hands, seriously saying, "So, listen to Qi, stop now and obediently return to the painting."
