The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 296: Chapter 144: This Time It’s a Swindler (Part 17)

”I took pity on you because you had legitimate feelings, so I’ll spare you this time. You’re already dead and cannot stay in the human world for long!”

”Let me help you into reincarnation. You’ve had your revenge, and all grudges from this life are now erased!”

Zhang Duoduo sympathized with the Red-clothed female ghost whose sincere affection was betrayed by a scoundrel. To take revenge, she nearly committed a grave sin that would have prevented her own reincarnation.

She helped the Red-clothed female ghost succeed in her revenge, watching as the scumbag who harmed her paid the price he deserved, and rushed to take the ghost away before the staff from the ”Emergency Office” arrived.

Once in a safe place, Zhang Duoduo spoke softly to the Red-clothed female ghost.

”Master, I, I don’t want to enter reincarnation anymore. Being human is too hard; I want to follow you forever!”

Perhaps truly grateful to Zhang Duoduo, or perhaps just wanting to latch onto a powerful figure, the Red-clothed female ghost refused the chance to be reborn and chose to continue as a ghost, following Zhang Duoduo.

Being able to recruit a powerfully combative ghost of the Ghost General Level as a sidekick pleased Zhang Duoduo immensely.

”Do you really want to follow me? Never enter reincarnation? Forever remain a ghost?” Zhang Duoduo asked again to confirm.

”I’m willing!” the Red-clothed female ghost had pondered this decision countless times before she suggested it.

She showed no hesitation, clearly setting her heart on Zhang Duoduo.

Finally, Zhang Duoduo broke into a radiant smile, ”Okay, if you want to follow me, then follow.”

She wouldn’t mistreat her new subordinate. She took out a Jade Pendant Magic Artifact given to her by an elder, allowing the Red-clothed female ghost to conceal herself within.

The jade pendant had a formation that not only concealed the ghost’s energy but also allowed her to cultivate.

The Red-clothed female ghost entered the jade pendant and felt the rich yin energy, finding it incredibly soothing.

She was secretly proud of her choice: this was the right decision! This golden leg was both sturdy and dazzlingly brilliant.

Early the next morning, after completing all this, Zhang Duoduo prepared to continue on to her next task.

While browsing on her phone, she stumbled upon a video from Guiyuan Temple.

”...This Guiyuan Temple, and this Master He, are really making a name for themselves!”

Zhang Duoduo felt a bit regretful; she had made it to the foothills of Nanshan last time but was detained by a scoundrel, missing out on the chance to exchange knowledge with Master He.

Zhang Duoduo wasn’t all that concerned about the online buzz.

She was simply quite curious about the Spirit Talismans from Guiyuan Temple.

After all, her family was a branch of the Heavenly Master Mansion, and her ancestors had learned Divine Skills like talismans.

However, with the arrival of the Dharma Decline Era and the decline of the Mystical Sect, even their Zhang Family’s heritage had gaps.

In Zhang Duoduo’s generation, they only knew some basic ghost catching and evil exorcism Magic.

And in terms of Spirit Talismans, they were sorely lacking.

Her real father, concerned for her safety as she ventured outside, had reluctantly given her a Thunder Summoning Talisman to protect herself in critical moments.

Their Zhang Family had a heritage that lasted over a thousand years and could be considered a prestigious large family.

But as the Family Head, Mr. Zhang had no more than a hundred Spirit Talismans at his disposal.

And such items were ”non-renewable resources”—use one and lose one.

Yet, as a large family with the backing of the Heavenly Master Mansion, apart from personal use, many mysticism practitioners also sought their Spirit Talismans.

...Ah, Mr. Zhang felt somewhat ashamed, unable to face his ancestors because their talisman heritage had been broken.

The few dozen talismans they treasured were hard-won by the ancestors. If the younger generation couldn’t timely mend the heritage, the small treasure left by the ancestors would inevitably be depleted.

At that point, not only would the family accuse him, Mr. Zhang himself would be fraught with guilt unto death.

Zhang Duoduo, the beloved daughter of Mr. Zhang and the family’s darling, had enjoyed an abundance of resources and attention.

Thus, it was her responsibility to revitalize the Zhang Family’s Spirit Talismans.

”Why not make a detour to Guiyuan Temple while I’m out on a task? It just so happens that the next client isn’t too far from Province A!”

Zhang Duoduo calculated that there was still over half a month before university started.

If she was swift enough, she could definitely make time.

For some reason, Zhang Duoduo felt an inexplicable fixation on Guiyuan Temple.

As if destined by fate, she sensed a deep connection with Guiyuan Temple.

He Tiantian:... It’s just like the female lead to be curious; I’ve already made the Guiyuan Temple’s Spirit Talismans ”well-known,” with no major casualties, yet the female lead still develops a huge interest in Guiyuan Temple.

Of course, at this point, He Tiantian didn’t know that she had convinced her parents that she had learned medicine on her own, perfectly inheriting the Medical Skill from Guiyuan Temple, and the family of three was happily touring the Capital City.
