Chapter 27: Model Student Pei Ye

Chapter 27: Model Student Pei Ye

The summoning command for calling underworld messengers had a whole group of underworld messengers below trembling in fear. He had thought some important figure was summoning them, so he hurried over as fast as possible.

The moment he saw Pei Ye, he was startled too. There was actually someone this fierce in the world!

The more afraid he was, the more expressionless his ghostly face became.

As a result,

It was actually to send a package!

The mailed items were two Nine Orifice Jade plugs, and the recipient was standing only seven or eight steps away from the sender.

Was she sick in the head?

Pei Ye said matter-of-factly, “They’re ghosts. They can’t take these two things away themselves. They have to be burned and sent to them.”

After hearing this, the man remained silent for a long time. From within his wide sleeves, he took out a packaging box and a bundle of black rope, then tossed them to Pei Ye to pack herself.

“Prepaid shipping or cash on delivery?”

Pei Ye said, “Cash on delivery. I don’t have ghost money either. Where does the sender sign?”

The man said, “A fingerprint is enough.”

Using a fingerprint was very friendly to illiterate people. Without another word, Pei Ye pressed one down.

The man took the package box tied up with black rope. Waves of black qi surged from his sleeves and wrapped it tightly.

“Two old ghosts in Dormitory 4021, T City Wudaokou Nursing Vocational College, your package. Hurry up and sign for it.”

As he spoke, he tossed the package box to the old ghost standing nearby, trembling with fear.

The old man subconsciously caught the package box and nearly scared himself into wetting his pants.

Black Impermanence delivering a package to them...

He could brag about this for the rest of his life!

The old man respectfully signed for the package, gave Black Impermanence a five-star review, and incidentally checked every evaluation tag available, such as “Called Before Delivery,” “Delivered to Door,” “Placed in Self-Pickup Locker with Permission,” “Placed at Collection Point with Permission,” “Good Service Attitude,” and “Packaging Undamaged”...

“Many thanks, Lord Black Impermanence. Safe travels, Lord Black Impermanence!”

Black Impermanence rolled his eyes and snorted, but did not leave.

Instead, he turned his gaze back to Pei Ye. After giving her a deep look, he transformed into black mist and returned to the vortex.

“That was Black Impermanence?”

The old man said, “Yes. That’s Lord Black Impermanence’s aura. Little ghosts like us wouldn’t mistake it.”

Black Impermanence and White Impermanence were officials of Fengdu.

The two ghosts were the leaders of the soul-reaping department. All soul-reaping underworld messengers obeyed their orders, and they in turn answered directly to the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

Pei Ye’s incantation had summoned Black Impermanence. Such an operation was truly unprecedented.

After a while, the old woman asked Pei Ye, “You seem pretty familiar with Lord Impermanence?”

“Not familiar. I don’t know him.”

She had assumed that summoning a delivery underworld messenger simply randomly called the nearest available messenger, so she saw nothing strange about Black Impermanence being summoned.

Perhaps Black Impermanence happened to be working nearby.

Thinking about Lan Ying’s case, it did not seem impossible.

The old woman rambled on, “I’ve heard some old ghosts say that underworld messengers at Lord Impermanence’s level have a few reincarnation quotas in their hands...”

She wanted to find a connection and pull some strings so she and the old man could be reincarnated together into a good next life and never be separated.

She remembered now. The two of them had been dead for many years.

They still had not reincarnated and instead remained in their own tomb because they had not won the reincarnation lottery together and therefore could not be reborn at the same time.

The old man took a puff of his tobacco pipe.

“What’s so great about reincarnation? Being a ghost is better. When you were alive, could you wander everywhere and move as swiftly as you do now?”

When the old woman had been alive, society had not been very progressive, and women still bound their feet.

The old lady had suffered from bound feet her entire life. She walked slowly and unsteadily, and her feet hurt whenever she walked too much.

After becoming a ghost, she could walk whenever she wanted and float whenever she wanted.

Having recovered the old woman’s jade plug, the elderly couple’s mood improved greatly, and they no longer pursued the matter with Mei Lixiang.

However, they had been entangled with Mei Lixiang for several days. She had become contaminated with their yin energy and would be rather unlucky over the next few days. That counted as a lesson for her theft.

“Have those two old ghosts left?”

“They’ve left.”

They just had not returned to their hometown. They said they were going sightseeing in B City near T City.

Mei Lixiang had been badly frightened today. Her little face was deathly pale, and she no longer had the energy to clash with Pei Ye.

Zhou Huirong said bitterly, “I have a feeling our dormitory won’t be peaceful in the future.”

After seeing ghosts for two consecutive days, the worldview she had built over the previous twenty years had completely shattered.

“Pah, crow’s mouth!”

Bai Xiaoxiao threatened with a dark expression. She certainly did not want strange ghosts barging into their dormitory every day.

Mi Xiangjun also said, “Now whenever I take a shower, I’m worried some perverted ghost is peeping nearby. I can’t live like this anymore.”

Only at times like this did the value of a roommate become apparent. Having Pei Ye around made everyone feel especially secure.

Pei Ye took a puff from her electronic cigarette and opened Love and Raising a Child.

Sure enough, Ah Zai’s experience bar had increased.

[13:11, Helped an elderly ghost couple recover their jade plugs. Merit +25]

At present, Ah Zai’s experience bar had become [326/1000].

Looking at these records, Pei Ye suddenly fell into a long silence.

This was encouraging Pei Ye to “do good deeds, speak good words, and harbor good intentions.”

To become a model student of the new era?

The little devil inside Pei Ye roared, No, you don’t want that!

“Yating.”

Lei Yating was preparing to cultivate when Pei Ye interrupted her. She immediately became displeased.

“What?”

Pei Ye said, “Ghosts were people once too. Since you can communicate with people, you can naturally learn to communicate with ghosts as well.”

Lei Yating felt somewhat irritated.

Even though she possessed a golden finger, she was still playing second fiddle to Pei Ye. Being inferior to Pei Ye gave her an inexplicable sense of frustration.

“What are you trying to say?”

Pei Ye said, “If you encounter ghosts in the future, try talking first. Don’t immediately place them on the opposite side.”

Hearing Pei Ye lecture her, Lei Yating curled her lip disdainfully.

Little did she know that Pei Ye’s words were genuinely meant as a kind reminder.

Right after sending off the elderly couple, the system had displayed a summary excerpt from The Peerless Good-for-Nothing Little Celestial Master Has a Red Packet Group.

Because Lei Yating’s cultivation was currently insufficient and she could not communicate with ghosts, the two elderly ghosts failed to recover their jade plugs. Furious, they went after Mei Lixiang’s family and entered their dreams every day to frighten them. They truly scared Mei Lixiang’s grandmother quite badly and threw the entire family into turmoil.

By this point, Lei Yating’s cultivation had already risen several levels in succession, and she had also convinced her roommates to accept the idea that she was a little fairy devoted to eliminating demons and defending the Dao. She would occasionally generously share bits of Divine Water and slimming-pill powder with her roommates so that everyone could become more beautiful together.

When Lei Yating learned that Mei Lixiang’s family was being haunted, she volunteered to help without hesitation.

The result was predictable.

The red silk in her possession would stimulate the ferocity of ghosts, and Lei Yating classified the elderly couple as vicious ghosts seeking lives and collecting debts. Without another word, she attacked them.

In the end, the elderly couple were beaten until their souls scattered and vanished. They also became tools used to enhance her image. No one ever learned why they had come to the family’s home in the first place.

After reading the summary, Pei Ye felt that they had died far too unjustly.

That was not how a righteous little fairy should behave.

With that, the system’s reward of 25 Merit points did not seem excessive at all, and Pei Ye accepted it calmly.

Lei Yating did not accept Pei Ye’s goodwill. Instead, she felt that Pei Ye was meddlesome.

No matter how powerful Pei Ye was, she did not have a golden finger!

She might be powerful now, but in the future Lei Yating would become even more powerful.

What gave her the right to put on the airs of an elder and lecture others?
