Chapter 109: Broke Enough to Not Even Afford to Raise a Child

Chapter 109: Broke Enough to Not Even Afford to Raise a Child

The Great Emperor of Fengdu finished handling the matters of Yunan Academy and returned to work.

Pei Ye stepped in to take Bai Xiaoxiao and the others away. The girls all looked wilted, like eggplants beaten by frost.

“See if you still dare to mess around in the future. Remember this lesson. There will be no next time.”

Pei Ye took them to T City Central Hospital for glucose infusions and also bought them easily digestible plain porridge.

Bai Xiaoxiao and the others cried badly. Mi Xiangjun, who had the softest temperament, sobbed until she could barely catch her breath, her eyes swollen like goldfish.

“Thank you, Xiao Hong. We really owe you this time. Otherwise we would have starved to death there.”

Zhou Huirong’s face was still pale as she added, “We also need to thank that Ying Lin guy. Without him, we would have been finished too…”

Ying Lin was indeed their great benefactor.

If he had not helped them, they would already have been eaten by those group of ghost residents. The vengeful spirits feared Ying Lin, so they did not kill them directly. Instead, they locked them up in a dark room to starve them to death. Later, Ying Lin found the old classmates from Yunan Academy and worked from both inside and outside to rescue them.

Unfortunately, they were not capable enough. The Yunan Academy ghost house was still the enemy’s territory. After hiding for not long, they were captured again.

Bai Xiaoxiao also had a Protection Talisman on her. Using its power, she managed to call Pei Ye for help.

Emmm…

In fact, Bai Xiaoxiao made two calls in total.

The call to Pei Ye was the second one. The first was to Lei Yating.

Pei Ye was demonstrating her skill of peeling an apple with one hand when she heard this. Her hand paused, and the long strip of apple peel broke.

“You called Lei Yating?”

Lei Yating was the mastermind behind their current life and death disaster. Bai Xiaoxiao became furious just hearing her name, grinding her teeth.

She nodded. “I called her. She… hmph, I have never seen anyone so disgusting. I am so angry!”

Pei Ye asked, “Did she say she would come save you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly blushed. She looked around nervously. Pei Ye understood and got up to close the ward door.

“I have a habit of recording calls. You can listen.”

Bai Xiaoxiao played an audio clip. From the phone came a very explicit sound.

A man and a woman were passionately engaged, producing a coordinated performance like a duet.

The call had been answered by a man.

The girls in the dormitory listened to the entire recording in silence.

Zhou Huirong covered her mouth and said softly, “I did not expect… she is so wild in bed…”

Even the content on certain adult fiction websites was about this level.

With sound effects added, it was even more outrageous.

Pei Ye said, “This also indirectly shows the man is quite capable.”

If he was not capable enough to make Lei Yating lose herself like that, how could she be so emotionally out of control that she said anything at all?

Bai Xiaoxiao said, “Tch, when she was dating Min Yizhou, she always said she would not do that kind of thing before marriage. A few days ago, when a sleazy guy flirted with her, she acted like some pure and offended saint. And tonight she is with some unknown man doing this…”

“Green tea bitch!”

Pei Ye said, “It is someone else’s private life after all.”

Bai Xiaoxiao said indignantly, “She was the one who said our death calamity was gone and everything was peaceful, so we went to the ghost house during the holiday. Now that I think about it, she was clearly busy with a man and just made an excuse to dump us and let us die!”

Pei Ye asked, “She said your death calamity was over?”

Bai Xiaoxiao said, “Yes! She said it herself!”

Zhou Huirong added, “Now that I think about it, she was probably busy doing something at the time. She was most likely just finding an excuse to get rid of us.”

Pei Ye’s expression turned cold.

According to the description in The Gorgeous Waste Celestial Master Has a Red Packet Group, Lei Yating’s strength grew very quickly. It was impossible for her not to see the condition of Bai Xiaoxiao and the others. Knowing their death calamity had not passed and was in fact becoming more dangerous, she still lied and sent them there.

What was her intention?

Pei Ye did not want to speculate too much about how malicious Lei Yating might be. In her view, Lei Yating was just a young girl who suddenly obtained a golden finger, became inflated with vanity, and grew arrogant. At her core, she was somewhat bad, but not beyond saving.

But now…

As expected, human hearts change easily, especially when someone suddenly gains external power without the ability to control their mindset.

“Xiao Hong, has our death calamity passed?” Bai Xiaoxiao asked carefully.

“It has passed,” Pei Ye said. “But you stayed too long in the Yunan Academy ghost house, so your bodies are filled with yin energy. It is easy to attract those things, and in a careless moment you could still die. I will draw some Protection Talismans for you to carry. Wear them close to your body. Exercise during the time of strongest sunlight every day to increase your yang energy and vitality, and quickly disperse the yin energy. After some time, you should recover.”

“We will definitely learn our lesson this time,” Bai Xiaoxiao said ashamedly. “Sorry to trouble you.”

“This is the last time,” Pei Ye said. “There will be no next time.”

She had completed two thirds of the main mission. The remaining two tasks should not take long.

She had a feeling she would not stay long in this game instance.

If Bai Xiaoxiao and the others continued courting disaster, Pei Ye really could not be bothered to care anymore.

The ward felt stuffy, so Pei Ye got up to go outside for some air and also to thank Ying Lin.

Unexpectedly, Ying Lin came to her first.

“Xiao Hong, you know how to draw talismans, right? Do you have any safe dream-entry talismans?”

Before regaining his memories, Ying Lin was a quiet and simple young ghost.

After regaining his memories, he became lively and talkative, as if his entire ghost had fallen into a sea of happiness.

Pei Ye did not understand why he was so happy.

“What do you want a dream-entry talisman for?”

Ying Lin said, “I want to find my father and my son and daughter.”

Pei Ye: “???”

How old was he when he died? Where did he get a son and daughter?

Ying Lin explained with a gentle smile full of happiness.

He used to think staying in the hospital was boring and painful, but now he felt extremely happy.

He was eagerly looking forward to tomorrow, when he could go to the director’s office to see his father.

Pei Ye listened in stunned silence.

“What a miraculous twist. Even experienced drivers can flip the car. Your father is a good father.”

He had personally arranged for his son to leave behind two bloodlines and raise them to adulthood, clearly intending to spend his later years with his grandchildren.

Ying Lin said firmly, “Yes. That is why I want to enter his dreams and tell him I am still here. I have always been by his side, watching over him and the children.”

Even if they could not meet, their hearts were together.

Pei Ye gave him three talisman papers. Ying Lin took them happily and left.

As his soul floated away, it carried a light, drifting curve of joy.

Tch. He really is easy to satisfy.

Ghosts are more easily satisfied than humans.

Is it because they have lost something before, so they learn to cherish it?

Pei Ye walked outside the hospital and lit a cigarette. Her phone in her pocket vibrated.

[Ah Zai is back from work]

[Ah Zai went to the shop and pulled out the shopping cart]

[Ah Zai used the 10 points of Merit earned from working to buy a cute pink bow]

[Ah Zai put on the cute pink bow]

[Ah Zai is rolling around worriedly, will Papa like it]

Pei Ye looked at Ah Zai, whose egg body was a bit dirty but now had a pink bow tied on its tip, and smiled around her cigarette.
