My Ghost Lover Is Too Annoying

56

Zhou Nan hadn’t seen much of the world, so he was not brave enough to go against the ghost.

However, Chen Ming had previously told him not to admit that he had seen the ghost soldiers. Knowing that he could not say anything, he huddled himself in the corner, turned to Chen Ming with trepidation and asked for help.

Feeling Zhou Nan’s pitiful expression, Chen Ming opened his eyes, and said loudly, “I’m just a civilian, and he’s just a little ghost who has not run out of his time in the world. I just want to live a stable life. And he would like to spend his last few hours in the world safely. There are people whom we could’t afford to provoke. If we say something, we definitely would suffer. So why are you so hard on us?”

His words meant that they had indeed seen ghost soldiers, but they dared not say out the detailed time and place.

What he said successfully dispelled White Impermanence’s hatred.

“Do you know that when the ghost soldiers came to the Earth, they will cause great trouble?” White Impermanence let go of Zhou Nan and turned to Chen Ming with a stern look.

Zhou Nan immediately collapsed on the ground and almost fainted.

Chen Ming stood up and said in a gentle tone, “I’m not capable enough, I can only care for my own life. I’m really sorry.”

White Impermanence snorted coldly, “Does Master Chen know that his apprentice is so cowardly?”

Hearing White Impermanence mentioning his master, Chen Ming was a little stunned. However, he quickly calmed down. He slightly straightened up, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, “Oh, if he knows it, how could his soul be taken away by you?”

Zhou Nan did not know about the feud between Chen Ming’s master and White Impermanence, but he felt the atmosphere became more and more intense.

“I think you’re determined not to tell me, aren’t you?”

Chen Ming firmly replied, “Yes, sure enough.”

“Since you make up your mind, then I won’t talk with you anymore.” White Impermanence said, gradually disappearing from his sight, “This is the last chance, and you’d better think it over.”

Zhou Nan knew what he meant—Chen Ming no longer had any ways to do good things, just like having no way to make a fortune. So his time in the world would only decrease but not increase. His life expectancy was short at first. But he just gave a month time to Zhou Nan, which would definitely make things worse.

He became panicked and tried to stop White Impermanence, but he was stopped by Chen Ming.

“I have thought it over and I won’t regret.” He said clearly.

The white shadow disappeared as he finished his words.

“Listen to me, Chen Ming,” Zhou Nan floated over, clasping his shoulders tightly, “No matter what, you can’t lose your chance to do good things. Or you’ll die! Now you should immediately go to find White Impermanence and get it straight!” He became more and more anxious, and he grabbed Chen Ming’s arms more and more tightly.

Chen Ming took a sip of water, saying, “What are you afraid of? I won’t die.”

“Then I’m afraid you’ll be dead soon!” That sounded unlucky, but it was the truth.

“To tell the truth, you will be surrounded by ghost soldiers once White Impermanence leaves, do you believe it?” Chen Ming turned to pick up the spells one by one, then put them back together again, and tied them neatly, “The order made by ghost soldiers will indeed be taken back, but you and I will not be spared, and will never have next life.”

After putting away the spells, Chen Ming put on a new T-shirt.

“I am not a man with great heroism but a selfish man. Therefore, I only do things good for saving my life and soul, and I would never endanger myself.”

From the moment he saw the cluster of blue flames, he probably expected that he would be so lowly. Perhaps he could only run out of time in the Earth, and then go to the netherworld. This secret would be gone after he drank Mengpo Soup, so that he could make sure that he could safely go to next life.

Zhou Nan understood what he said and felt that there was a pair of invisible hands clasping his throat, which suffocated him and dragged him into the abyss of despair.

He snorted and said, “Chen Ming, I don’t want to live one more month. Please take it back, then at least you can live one more month.”

Zhou Nan had always been such a weak person, and when being helpless, he often chose to sacrifice himself for others pitifully.

But Chen Ming was always unruly and didn’t like it when Zhou Nan showed such a pitiful look. So he flatly refused, “I voluntarily gave my life to you, so you just take it and don’t ever think about giving back to me.”

“But…”

“Don’t say “but”, now I’m not busy, so I’ll just focus on helping you bring your soul back through your dead body.” Chen Ming saw that Zhou Nan was still gloomy, so he consoled the latter, “Cheer up, maybe White Impermanence would come back in a few days.”

As for this, Zhou Nan could only say, “I hope so.”
