The Hellborn Heiress​ - chapter 29

Chi Che looked at the Yellow Talisman she was holding, feeling at a loss for words for a moment.

Wasn’t he at least a properly educated doctor?

Yet he actually believed in these superstitious things.

Ah, whatever, let the one who tied the bell untie it!

For now, just treat it as a placebo.

“Is this talisman like the ones in movies, able to burn her to death?” He opened the door to his small villa, lowering his voice to ask.

“No, it’s a Ghost-Seeing Talisman.” Jiang Ci’s mental strength had only just recovered a little; using it to draw a Ghost Suppressing Talisman would be too wasteful, so she simply drew a low-level Ghost-Seeing Talisman for him.

As she spoke, she directly stuck the talisman onto his back.

In an instant.

Chi Che clearly felt a heavy pressure on both shoulders.

Then, to his utter disbelief, two twisted, broken, bluish-grey legs, barely held together by skin and flesh, appeared right before his chest at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Wh-”

He didn’t even finish his sentence before his eyes widened and he collapsed stiffly to the ground.

Jiang Ci kicked him twice, “Don’t get scared out of your wits, wake up.”

Chi Che woke as if from a dream, opening his eyes.

What greeted him was a girl squatting in front of him, her exploded head adorned with strawberry hair clips, the clips stained red with blood, even redder than strawberries…

She tilted her head, her facial features separated, grinning at him, “Doctor brother~”

Thud!

Chi Che fainted again.

Jiang Ci said irritably, “Do you have to scare him like this?”

“If he dies, we can be together~” Strawberry Girl giggled.

If Jiang Ci hadn’t seen that the girl carried no Resentment, she would have dealt with her violently long ago.

“This house…”

Jiang Ci frowned.

Traces of the girl were everywhere in Chi Che’s home; it could be said that every single item of his had been touched by her.

Such terrifying behavior.

Outrageous.

“Doctor Chi, wake up. If you don’t, I’m leaving and letting you two have some alone time.” Jiang Ci kicked him again.

Hearing that he’d be left alone with the Female Ghost, Chi Che jolted awake, immediately hugging her leg and crying out, “Master Jiang, don’t go, save me-”

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that ghosts really existed!

The moment he saw the ghost appear, his worldview completely collapsed!

Now he didn’t trust anyone except Jiang Ci!

“Let go,” Jiang Ci said coolly.

Chi Che let go of her, sticking close like a clingy puppy, not leaving her side for a moment.

From start to finish, he didn’t dare look at the Female Ghost beside him.

But out of the corner of his eye, he could see a twisted Shadow there.

Chi Che was so scared he was about to cry!

He wished he could turn into an octopus and cling tightly to Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci sat down calmly and elegantly, crossing her legs lightly, watching the human and the ghost.

Chi Che curled up next to her, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Strawberry Girl gazed at Chi Che with love, “Brother, come here~”

“Oh my god!” Chi Che squeezed his eyes shut in terror, frantically grabbing Jiang Ci’s arm.

“Brother, how can you touch another girl!” The Female Ghost was unhappy, her face full of grievance.

“I’m begging you, please stop haunting me, okay? I’ll kowtow to you!” Chi Che said, about to bow his head to her.

The Female Ghost floated over, feeling sorry for him, reaching out to lift his head.

“Ah!” The moment Chi Che saw her bloody hand, he let out a howl, nearly jumping onto Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci shoved him away with one palm, “Look at you, so spineless!”
“Master Jiang, wuwuwu…” Chi Che shrank back pitifully again.

Jiang Ci rubbed her forehead. “Say it, what will it take for you to leave Doctor Chi?”

The Female Ghost snorted, “I’ll never leave, even in death! I want to be with my brother forever-even if I die.”

Chi Che wailed, “What have I ever done to offend you?”

“I like you, brother. Don’t you like me too?” The Female Ghost looked at him with eyes full of love.

“When did I ever like you?” Chi Che was almost in tears from anger. “You’re a patient, I’m a doctor. I was just doing my duty to treat you. I have never harbored any improper thoughts about you! If I have, let heaven strike me with thunder!”

She was simply too deep in her Erotomania. Every time she saw a man, she believed he liked her, loved her, convinced that every man fell in love with her.

She harassed every man around her.

Unexpectedly, after she was discharged and went home, she died in an accident.

Even more unexpectedly, she still came back to haunt him after her death.

The Female Ghost batted her eyes at him flirtatiously. “Brother, I know you’re just testing my feelings for you. Don’t worry, I only love you~”

Chi Che was so frightened by her bloodied, mangled face throwing flirtatious glances at him that he nearly fainted.

“Master Jiang, I really don’t know what to do anymore, please help me!”

Every time Chi Che thought about how she kept pestering him every day since her death-touching him where he couldn’t see-he felt creeped out and disgusted.

Jiang Ci looked at the Female Ghost. “Are you going to leave on your own, or should I send you away?”

“I’m not leaving! I want to be with my brother for all eternity!” The Female Ghost made a heart sign at Chi Che with wild enthusiasm.

“Do you have incense at home?” Jiang Ci asked.

Chi Che shook his head. “I don’t have anything like that at home.”

“Then do you have cigarettes? Bring me three.”

Chi Che scrambled and brought over a box of cigarettes.

Jiang Ci lit three on the spot, again two short and one long, and recited the Ghost Messenger Summoning Incantation.

Within three minutes, a Ghost messenger who had heard the call in the vicinity arrived.

After learning what had happened, the Ghost messenger said with a wry smile, “Lady Jiang, actually, she should have reported below already. She just refuses to go, and there’s nothing we can do.”

When the Female Ghost saw the Ghost messenger, her eyes lit up, “Ghost messenger brother~~”

The Ghost messenger: “…”

They were afraid of being pestered by this kind of Female Ghost too.

Jiang Ci said impatiently, “Take her away, deal with her as the rules dictate.”

One Ghost messenger couldn’t handle her, so he called for others, and after much effort, they finally managed to drag the Female Ghost away.

As she left, the Female Ghost gave Chi Che a sinister smile. “Doctor brother, I’ll come for you in the next life~”

Chi Che shivered all over, tears of frustration in his eyes!

Jiang Ci reached out her hand to him.

Chi Che grabbed her hand tightly, tears of gratitude streaming down his face. “Master Jiang, I misjudged you before. I sincerely apologize. I’m sorry!”

“How much is ‘I’m sorry’ worth?” Jiang Ci said faintly. “The matter’s done. Pay up.”

Chi Che quickly took out his wallet and handed all the cash to her.

Jiang Ci took a thousand yuan, returned the wallet, and after a moment’s thought, suggested, “There’s a lot of Yin Energy in your home. Open your windows more and get some sunlight. And you, too-expose yourself to the midday sun for forty-nine days.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll do everything Master says!” Chi Che replied, eyes brimming with tears. He had finally rid himself of the Female Ghost’s entanglement. Wuwuwu! Master Jiang was so good!

If Master Jiang hadn’t stepped in, he’d still be clueless.

Who knows, maybe after he died, the Female Ghost would continue to pester him-how tragic that would be!
