At 11 PM, Huo Chengxi and He Jiaxu brought Li Junyu to the Yijing Stream Garden.
Jian Xi thought that Li Junyu was quite handsome and could be considered a heartthrob, no wonder the female ghost agreed.
Inside the small wooden cabin were not only Jian Xi but also He Qingchen.
He wasn't looking at Li Junyu, but rather at Huo Chengxi and He Jiaxu, both of whom were dressed in suits and had styled their hair.
He Qingchen raised an eyebrow and asked Jian Xi, "What's up with them?"
As he asked, the two men's already reluctant faces darkened further. Jian Xi smiled and whispered an explanation to He Qingchen.
After hearing it, He Qingchen also smiled and tapped Jian Xi's little head with his finger, "Only you would come up with such a mischievous idea."
Jian Xi glared at him, "As long as it solves the problem, it's a good idea. I want a drink, I'm thirsty."
He Qingchen helplessly got up to fetch her favorite milk drink.
Jian Xi looked at Li Junyu, "She usually comes to find you punctually at 11:30 PM every day, right? Let's wait for her."
Li Junyu had dark circles under his eyes and looked pale as he raised his doubts, "With so many of us here, will she still appear?"
Jian Xi didn't answer him but pointed at the talismans pasted on the door frame and walls, which formed an illusion formation that she had set up specifically for ghosts.
After seeing this, Li Junyu didn't ask any more questions. Huo Chengxi and He Jiaxu, who were sitting next to him, were even more reluctant to speak. Who could have ever imagined that one day they would have to use their own good looks to seduce a ghost!
They couldn't tell if they should feel honored or miserable!
As soon as 11:30 PM arrived, the only one without any protection, Li Junyu, suddenly felt the air around him turn icy cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The few people whose Yin-Yang eyes had been temporarily opened by Jian Xi also had serious expressions, because a 'woman' wearing a red wedding dress appeared inside the small wooden cabin.
"Husband, I've come to find you...who are you people?" Qin Xiaorong, who had initially been smiling, suddenly changed her expression.
Hearing this voice, Li Junyu's body trembled. Huo Chengxi patted his shoulder, signaling that it was okay.
Jian Xi had already stood up, revealing a sweet and harmless smile, "Sister, don't be angry. We're not bad people. We came here today to discuss something with you."
"What is it?" Qin Xiaorong stared at Jian Xi with suspicion.
Jian Xi shifted her body and pointed at Huo Chengxi and He Jiaxu, "Sister, you can see that Li Junyu doesn't like you at all, and he was even deceived by his family into being sold to you as a ghost groom. As they say, a forced marriage is never sweet. Today, I'm here to mediate and suggest we change the marriage contract. How about that?"
Qin Xiaorong's eyes shifted, "I don't care. His family sold him to me as a ghost groom, so what if it's a forced marriage? He's good-looking, and that's enough for me."
Jian Xi revealed an expected smile, "Sister, he's not that handsome. I've found two better-looking men for you, and they're both willing to 'marry' you. More importantly, as soon as you annul your marriage with Li Junyu, they can immediately marry you. What do you think?"
Saying this, Jian Xi deliberately moved aside to reveal Huo Chengxi and He Jiaxu behind her, "Sister, one for two, it's not a bad deal!"
With this movement, Qin Xiaorong finally saw the two men sitting behind and her eyes instantly lit up like stars, gazing back and forth between Huo Chengxi and He Jiaxu.
Jian Xi flicked her wrist, and the talismans on the door and walls burst into flames, releasing an alluring voice, "How about it? Do you agree? As soon as you destroy the marriage contract with Li Junyu, you can have them. They're worth having!"
Qin Xiaorong nodded mechanically, "I agree."
Jian Xi smiled, "Then you can destroy that marriage contract now."
In front of Qin Xiaorong appeared a red silk cloth with her and Li Junyu's birth dates written on it, and a drop of Li Junyu's blood at the end.
She tapped the marriage contract, and it burst into green flames. As the contract burned to ashes, Li Junyu felt a weight lifted off him.
By burning the marriage contract with her ghostly fire, Qin Xiaorong essentially agreed to the annulment, and now this living person and ghost had no relationship whatsoever.
Jian Xi quietly moved behind Qin Xiaorong.
Qin Xiaorong shyly glanced at Huo Chengxi and He Jiaxu, but before she could ask when she would be able to sign a marriage contract with them, she felt a sudden pain in her butt, and the next second, everything went black as her surroundings changed!
Grey skies, swirling yellow sand, and fields of red spider lilies, also known as the Flowers of the Underworld, in the distance.
The gates of the underworld had closed. Jian Xi stretched her ankles and let out a mocking laugh, "Heh, stupid naive girl!"
Li Junyu was dumbfounded, He Jiaxu was dumbfounded, but Huo Chengxi seemed fine.
Only He Qingchen frowned as he looked at Jian Xi's shoes.
He stood up, lifted Jian Xi with one arm and placed her on the table, then took off her shoes and threw them into the trash can. He then picked her up again, holding her by her butt, and walked out.
At the door, he didn't forget to tell He Jiaxu, "Take out the trash."
He Jiaxu: "..."
Seeing He Jiaxu's dazed expression, Jian Xi wanted to laugh. She swung her little legs and waved at Huo Chengxi, "I'm going back to sleep. Don't forget to lock the door, bye Senior Brother Six!"
Huo Chengxi: "..."
After a while, Li Junyu finally spoke, "Miss Jian, you really handled that efficiently. Haha, haha, who should I transfer the money to, you two?"
In the end, the money was transferred to He Jiaxu, since he was the one managing Jian Xi's purchases of talismans.
It wasn't a large sum, only two thousand yuan, but it was Li Junyu's entire savings.
He Qingchen directly carried her back to her bedroom and urged her to take a shower and go to bed immediately.
Jian Xi obediently followed, as she was indeed tired.
Although she slept late, Jian Xi still woke up on time the next day.
As she came downstairs, she saw that He Qingchen was already in the living room. She went over and gave him a big bear hug, then planted a loud kiss on his cheek.
"Good morning, Brother!" Jian Xi said with a bright smile.
He Qingchen smiled back and returned the kiss on her lips, softly replying, "Morning."
At the door, Xu Yan, who had witnessed the entire scene, stared wide-eyed with one foot already inside. He was stuck, not knowing whether to enter or not.
Oh no, did he just learn some unspeakable secret? Would he be silenced by Mr. He?
Lost in thought, he was noticed by Jian Xi, who quickly patted He Qingchen's shoulder, "Put me down quickly, Assistant Xu is watching!"
Xu Yan had been summoned by He Qingchen because they were going to J City to discuss a project with a substantial amount, so he needed to go in person. Since J City wasn't far, they would be back by noon the next day, meaning Jian Xi would be alone tonight.
