Chapter 2088: Chapter 2048: Visiting Miss Jia Again
Wen Xin’s intention was clearly to give herself to Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu just held her and slept through the afternoon.
Around five in the afternoon, Ye Qiu got up to prepare to leave.
"Going back?"
"There’s nothing much, I’m heading back."
Tonight, Ye Qiu still had to make a trip to the haunted abandoned building, to see what to prepare in advance to bring over. This time, Ye Qiu knew he needed to deal with the wandering spirits at the ghost market there.
And the Su Family had already invested so much money, if they failed this time, it might end up with severe losses.
Even the financial chain might have issues.
As Ye Qiu got up to get dressed, Wen Xin also got up and said, "I’ll make you dinner, leave after eating."
Having bought many groceries at noon and stocked them in the fridge, no need to buy more, just make dinner and eat.
Seeing Wen Xin’s reluctant gaze, Ye Qiu decided to stay.
After Wen Xin prepared dinner, the two ate together, and then they left the dormitory building. Wen Xin headed to the Affiliated Hospital for her night shift as Ye Qiu got into his car and drove back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
Upon returning to the villa, Ye Qiu saw a red Beetle parked at the entrance, knowing for sure it was Lin Xiang’s car.
Lin Xiang and Xiaomai had been waiting since morning for Ye Qiu to take them out, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did you go? Why did it take so long for the check-up?" Lin Xiang asked.
"Just happened to meet a pretty nurse who wouldn’t let me leave."
A pretty nurse?
Surely it was another beauty that Ye Qiu knew.
They might have even been intimate.
Lin Xiang couldn’t keep track of how many beauties Ye Qiu really knew.
The ones she was aware of were already quite a few.
When Xiaomai was about to make dinner, Ye Qiu said, "I’ve already eaten, don’t call me."
Ye Qiu went upstairs.
He needed to prepare for tonight’s visit to the haunted ghost market in the abandoned building; he wanted to know the current state there.
Initially agreed for a week, from last week to now a week’s time had passed.
With that Miss Jia’s status in the brothel, it should have already spread—they are ghosts, not people, and those wandering souls would gradually disperse.
If there were any stubborn ones wanting to occupy the place, Ye Qiu would have to find other solutions.
Ye Qiu spent time upstairs on the computer until past eleven at night, without even taking a bath.
From upstairs, he came down to see Xiaomai and Lin Xiang watching TV on the couch.
"Ye Qiu, where are you going?" Xiaomai asked.
"Just going out for some matters."
Ye Qiu got into his car and drove away.
Heading straight toward the outskirts of the haunted abandoned building.
Upon arriving, he found it still quiet, with no souls around.
This area was so eerie that people dared not approach.
As Ye Qiu drove there, he parked, looking around, feeling the place was indeed sinister, pitch-black, and deathly silent.
Didn’t get out of the car.
However, after a short nap in the car, opening his eyes, Ye Qiu found himself in another world, precisely the ghost market at the haunted abandoned building.
You could say it was an illusion or say it truly existed.
Ye Qiu observed the ghost market seemed no different from before; these ghosts lived just as usual.
Ye Qiu headed towards his Royal Mansion.
Unexpectedly, upon arrival, there wasn’t a shadow of a ghost.
Not even his two ghost servants who brought joss paper were present.
This was puzzling; hadn’t he asked Miss Jia to stay here?
Ye Qiu left the Royal Mansion, heading towards the brothel.
At the brothel, seeing many male ghosts standing outside as if watching something.
Pushed through the ghosts, drawing closer, noticing a red paper posted.
Turns out the Ghost King of this world had taken a fancy to Miss Jia, intending to forcibly marry her as a concubine.
A Ghost King?
Ye Qiu really didn’t know.
With surrounding ghosts buzzing about, Ye Qiu walked towards the brothel, seeing many ghosts he hadn’t seen before.
Trying to reach Miss Jia’s room upstairs, but couldn’t enter.
Yet, two male ghosts couldn’t possibly block Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu simply nudged them aside, causing the ghosts to drift away like paper.
Moreover, Ye Qiu had an aura that made these ghosts fearful.
Ye Qiu went up to the second floor, hearing haunting piano music.
Upon hearing, he knew it was surely Miss Jia playing and singing there.
Indeed, since that night, learning from Ye Qiu that they were long dead, just wandering souls lingering in this world, neither living nor disappearing, repeating the same daily life, Miss Jia’s mentality had changed.
Earlier, she believed she was still alive, still in the brothel, even living the Jinling Ming Dynasty days, unexpectedly it had been hundreds of years; she was just a ghost, over centuries.
For Miss Jia, such a life certainly felt worse than death; she too wanted to reincarnate soon, becoming human again, rather than staying like this.
Returning to the brothel that night, discussed with the madam to use her own money, saved joss paper earnings from these years, all to redeem herself, she and her maid lived at Ye Qiu’s Royal Mansion.
Unexpectedly, known by a Ghost King in the ghost market, forcibly making her be wed as a concubine, pulling her from the Royal Mansion back to the brothel.
Waiting for the wedding day to forcibly take her away.
Yet Miss Jia knew, that Ye Qiu was a powerful man, he had promised at most a week he’d let this ghost market completely vanish, they might reincarnate or disappear from the world entirely.
Knowing these, Miss Jia realised she had a week to reflect on her life events.
Miss Jia knew her reminiscences were mainly about her pre-brothel life and childhood memories, since being burned alive becoming a ghost in the ghost market, every day was identical.
Besides, knowing she was dead had not bothered earlier, now knowing she was dead, seeing ghosts moving like paper figures made her feel disgusted, even couldn’t accept it.
She desperately wanted to leave this world, feeling trapped in it, causing immense discomfort.
Regarding the Ghost King forcibly marrying her as a concubine, she wasn’t afraid.
Because she was just a spirit, knowing for sure Ye Qiu would come for her after seven days.
