Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Am I Really That Despicable? _1
Ma Yuxiang turned into a horrifying figure with two braided ropes, due to me; her wait for each and every day over thirty years was because of me...
Ding Jiawang took a deep breath. If all of this was real, it truly served him right to be scared stiff by her appearance.
Almost losing his life to a female ghost called Jin Zhu constituted cosmic retribution, he thought!
Sisi observed Ding Jiawang’s expression, and comforted him, "You don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself either. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. If you hadn’t met me... have you ever thought about what could happen?"
Ding Jiawang was slightly stunned, and followed Qin Sisi’s thought.
If he didn’t meet Sisi and found nobody who could help him, under the temptation of the beautiful figure, he would definitely be unable to resist exploring at night.
Then?
Ma Yuxiang’s target was him. She demanded that he accompany her continuously that night. Without the protection of Sisi, he would indeed be dragged into the water by Ma Yuxiang’s ghost and drowned.
His soul would also be entangled by her, incapable of leaving forever.
Thinking about these, Ding Jiawang couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat.
He nervously swallowed, looking at Sisi and asked, "Master Qin, there must be a reason why you called me here to tell me all this, and it’s not to scare me, right?"
Sisi explained, "Of course not, she has promised to give her Soul Power to me, but I need to help her find Wang Zhihui and facilitate a meeting between them."
Ding Jiawang responded with a bitter smile, "Turns out I was just another tool for you again."
Last time he had to kiss a hanged female ghost, and this time he would have to date a drowned female ghost.
Ding Jiawang felt he was rather mistreated.
Sisi curled her finger and touched her nose, saying, "That’s not entirely true. This could also be an opportunity for you. You were always targeted by female ghosts, which could possibly be related to this female ghost who has been thinking about you.
You should take advantage of this situation and get it over with her, so maybe you won’t run into such ’ghostly romance’ in the future."
Ding Jiawang asked with a conflicted expression, "Was I really that much of a jerk in my past life?"
Sisi rolled her eyes internally, and countered, "Are you sure you’re not a jerk in this lifetime?"
Ding Jiawang was left speechless. To this day, he had three girlfriends. However, he never cheated -- after formally ending a relationship, he would wait for some time before starting the next one.
Naturally, he was rather generous in terms of money. Although he didn’t consider himself a jerk, he couldn’t say he was a good man either.
After a moment of silence, Ding Jiawang replied, "I’ll do my best."
If being a jerk once could bring such serious consequences, then he really needed to be more cautious.
"So, have you made your decision yet?" Sisi pursued.
Ding Jiawang sighed. Although he did feel a little guilty about his actions in the previous life, admitting to the ghost was another matter, since the horrifying figure with double braids was pretty shocking.
Sisi detected some of Ding Jiawang’s thoughts and said, "Her current appearance is indeed a bit terrifying, but I can negotiate with her about returning to her previous image."
Ding Jiawang blinked. Actually, he was already willing to accept Sisi’s proposal, but still he felt somewhat unsatisfied.
So, Ding Jiawang tilted his head and looked at Sisi, saying, "Master Qin, I’m helping you out again this time. Can’t you give me a little bonus?"
"What kind of bonus do you want?" Sisi inquired calmly, but inwardly she was on guard. If Ding Jiawang were to say something improper again, she wouldn’t mind giving him a harsh lesson.
Ye You also glanced at Ding Jiawang with narrowed eyes, sharing the same thoughts as Sisi.
Ding Jiawang cleared his throat and said, "You see, these days, I’ve been constantly encountering female ghosts which is very unsettling. Can’t you give me something like an amulet? So that those ghosts and monsters wouldn’t dare to approach me any longer."
Sisi sighed in relief. So that was what he meant.
She gave a faint smile and said, "It’s not hard, but I don’t have any on me currently. You could ask Boss Zheng for one."
She only had a mahogany bracelet and a Golden Tower Phantom Crystal on her. Both items couldn’t be given away.
Ding Jiawang laughed, "Isn’t this just showing how much I trust you?"
Sisi nodded, "Alright then. I’ll get one for you when I go to Ju Ya Zhai."
"Okay, thank you in advance." Ding Jiawang looked happy, thinking he would have an amulet on him in the future. He felt a sense of security all of a sudden.
"So...you agreed, didn’t you?" Sisi asked in a probing manner, feeling sure of his response.
Ding Jiawang clasped his hands together, let out a sigh and said, "Since I made the mistake in my past life, I might as well make amends. As you said, maybe rectifying my wrongs could make my future days a bit smoother."
Sisi spoke in a relaxed mood, "It’s good that you can understand, don’t worry, I’ll be there when you two meet, and I won’t let him hurt you."
Hearing Sisi’s words, Ding Jiawang felt more relieved. He nodded and said, "Alright, just arrange it."
Sisi had Ding Jiawang wait in the guest room, while she discussed with Ma Yuxiang. Afterwards, she would call him out to meet.
After Ding Jiawang hid in the guest room, Ye You waved his paw and let Ma Yuxiang’s ghost out.
After Ma Yuxiang’s soul became clear, she eagerly asked Sisi as soon as she saw her, "How did it go? Did you find him?"
Sisi nodded, "I found him, and I’ve brought him here already."
"Where is he? Hurry up and take me to see him!" Ma Yuxiang grabbed Sisi’s arm, asking anxiously.
Sisi patted Ma Yuxiang’s shoulder comfortingly, saying gently, "Are you planning to meet him looking like this?"
Ma Yuxiang was momentarily startled, "Is there something wrong with my appearance? At least I still have one braided rope. Doesn’t he like my braids and back figure the most?"
Sisi shook her head slightly, seriously saying, "Under normal circumstances, a beautiful back figure and hair can be a plus. However, if the appearance is not normal, a beautiful back figure is useless."
Ma Yuxiang stood blankly for a while, then asked morosely, "Then...what should I do? I don’t know how to restore my normal appearance. Even if I managed to do that, my back braids are gone. Would he still like me?"
Sisi gently held her hand and comforted her, "I’ll help you restore your normal appearance. As for the braids, don’t worry. If he truly likes you, any hairstyle doesn’t matter."
"Really? But he once said..." Ma Yuxiang felt conflicted. She feared that the person she was constantly thinking about would be the slightest bit dissatisfied with her.
