Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

Page 66

Since the person died, the money definitely had to be returned. The relatives berated Dong Xiaodie. Grandma Sun not only didn't get anything good, but also got all the bad luck. She even mocked Dong Xiaodie as a cursed star, saying that not only did she bring death to her parents, but she also brought death to her future father-in-law and husband before she even entered the family.

Dong Xiaodie was already in great pain, and with her relatives being so mean, she couldn't think straight and threw herself into the river.

In the end, it was several women from the garment factory who helped her prepare her body, and she was buried in the cemetery.

Blood and tears streamed down Dong Xiaodie's pupils. Ling Yun noticed that the female ghost's aura was becoming disordered, and the entire bridal chamber was filled with disturbing noises.

"Be good, stop crying."

Ling Yun used a tissue to wipe away her blood and tears. The blood seeped onto the tissue and set it on fire.

Just as the flames were about to reach Lingyun, Dong Xiaodie blew out the ghostly fire with a gust of cold wind, her voice filled with worry: "You weren't burned, were you?"

"It's alright. The cultivation technique I practice is quite special, and ordinary flames can't harm me."

"You're a martial artist?"

"That's natural. If an ordinary person were to get close to you, the three Yang Fires would probably be blown out immediately."

Hearing Ling Yun's words, Dong Xiaodie shyly hummed in agreement. Being so close to him made her feel flustered, and she almost forgot that she was a powerful and vengeful ghost.

"I just lifted your red veil. According to custom, does that mean we are already married?"

"Yes, it is……"

Dong Xiaodie secretly glanced at Ling Yun's profile. She had never seen such a handsome young man before. Just one glance was enough for her to manage to knock Li Hong unconscious and become the "ghost bride" herself.

"I'll introduce you to them."

"That's not a good idea," Dong Xiaodie said, looking down at her toes. "I'll scare them like this."

"We'll have to meet eventually, you don't want to keep hiding forever, do you?"

The female ghost stared blankly at Ling Yun, pondering the meaning behind his words.

"Would you let me stay by your side?"

"Otherwise what? Leave you alone... oh no, I mean, a lonely ghost wandering outside?"

Dong Xiaodie's fair face turned blood red, and she gripped the red veil tightly with her fingers.

Looking at her adorable appearance, Ling Yun felt a mischievous urge: "Come on, call me husband."

"Ms. sir~"

Dong Xiaodie put on the red veil, covering her flushed cheeks.

Ling Yun smiled mischievously and led her by the hand to the room where the three girls were.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Qiao trembled in fright and hugged Wu Qianyi tightly.

Ling Lan wasn't afraid at all. In her mind, ghosts were no different from animals, only dangerous or not dangerous. Besides, she could sense Ling Yun's presence.

Upon opening the door, Wu Qianyi saw Ling Yun and the ghost bride walking side by side. She hugged Zhou Qiao's head, and although the latter was afraid, she still secretly peeked at the two through the crack.

"Qiaoqiao, Qianyi, can you guess who this is?"

As soon as Ling Yun spoke, the two women seemed to be injected with a stimulant; they exchanged a glance and then released each other.

"Is this an NPC dressed as a ghost bride?" The assistant walked forward curiously, wanting to lift her veil to take a look, but then hesitated. "What's the next part of the quest?"

Zhou Qiao felt uneasy because she noticed that the female ghost seemed to be staring at her through the red veil, making her feel uneasy.

“She is a female ghost.” Ling Yun blinked. “I mean, she is a real female ghost, not an NPC.”

"what!"

Zhou Qiao was so frightened that she tried to hide in Ling Lan's arms again. However, due to the excessive force and the fact that she was much shorter than Ling Lan, she bumped into the maid's proud figure and was bounced back by the recoil, landing on her bottom on the ground.

"Qiaoqiao, are you alright?"

The assistant ran over and helped Zhou Qiao up, muttering in a low voice, "Chairman Ling, Qiao Qiao is timid by nature, you shouldn't scare her like that."

Ling Yun, pulling the ghost in the wedding dress, asked, "Qiaoqiao, do you remember who Dong Xiaodie is?"

Seeing that Zhou Qiao was about to faint, Ling Yun stopped teasing her, pulled her into his arms, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Zhou Qiao shuddered, then looked at him in disbelief, and then at Dong Xiaodie.

She was naturally afraid of the female ghost, but thinking about how the woman was forced to marry someone she didn't like and eventually jumped into the river, she could only sigh softly.

Wu Qianyi was confused. She simply felt that Dong Xiaodie's surroundings were very cold, and she herself felt a bit chilly as a result.

"Xiaodie, show them what you've got."

"Yes."

The female ghost obeyed, lifting her feet off the ground and hovering in mid-air.

Zhou Qiao was less afraid because she had mentally prepared herself, but the assistant suddenly fainted.

Chapter 107 The Maid's Work

When Ling Yun carried Wu Qianyi out of the secret room, a group of staff members were still gathered at the door.

The locksmith arrived late, but the shop manager didn't let him come for nothing. He gave him a 100 yuan red envelope and then saw the locksmith off.

"That Chairman Ling, you..."

"It's okay, she's just scaring herself. You've created a great atmosphere of horror for this theme."

The store employees looked at each other, unsure of how to begin.

How could the atmosphere not be terrifying? A person suddenly appeared in the locked room, and after the surveillance was restored, the extra ghost bride disappeared again. Isn't it obvious that a ghost had entered?

While admiring Ling Yun's courage, they also guessed that the female ghost didn't have any bad intentions. However, they thought this topic would probably have to be shut down for a while, and it would be best to find a master to help take a look.

After this incident, the store manager felt embarrassed to accept money from Lingyun and saw them out.

The four of them got into the car. They decided to skip lunch and focus on settling the assistant in first.

Today's games went a little too far. Lingyun thought Wu Qianyi liked novel and terrifying things like ghosts, but it turns out she was just a hypocrite. When she encountered a real ghost, she fainted even faster than Zhou Qiao.

As for Dong Xiaodie, she was staying in Lingyun's space.

The storage space cannot hold living beings, but Dong Xiaodie is a ghost and exploited a bug, allowing her to float freely within the space.

Looking at the wide variety of items inside, she helped Ling Yun organize them after obtaining his permission.

When Ling Yun wants to get something, he doesn't need to search carefully. With a thought, as long as the item is in his spatial storage, it can be retrieved instantly, which is very convenient.

When she sorted through a talisman, her fingertips barely touched its surface before she recoiled from the heat.

"Yeah, what is this?"

Ling Yun, who was in the car, "saw" the talisman in the space: "This is for exorcising ghosts, but it's not for you. It's for driving away evil spirits."

Dong Xiaodie sucked on her fingertip: "I never thought that the talismans shown on TV were actually real."

"You've never encountered a Taoist priest?"

"No, I stayed in the cemetery until yesterday when I returned to town for the first time."

Although Dong Xiaodie was a ghost, she had no intention of harming anyone. However, her resentment after death was too great, and she turned into a vengeful ghost.

In addition, there are quite a few ghosts in cemeteries. The feng shui of such places is often very particular, and it is believed that these ghosts can be suppressed to prevent them from harming people.

The book "Wi-Fi Lockdown Technique" states that after a person dies, their soul usually dissipates. However, if one's obsession is too deep or one harbors resentment, they will become a ghost. The deeper the resentment, the stronger the ghost becomes. But with only one's own resentment, one can at most become a vengeful ghost.

If a vengeful ghost wants to continue its cultivation, it can either accumulate merit through good deeds or by harming living beings and its own kind. Powerful ghosts often take the latter path.

The official stance on this matter is to outwardly deny it and monitor it online, but to handle it quietly in private, keeping it from the public and avoiding unnecessary panic.

Not all people who harbor resentment will become ghosts after they die. Those on Blue Star who were directly or indirectly killed by Ling Yun did not have this ability.

Dong Xiaodie bypassed the exorcism talisman, tidied up the other items, and quietly stayed in a corner reading a book.

She loves reading, but she mostly reads anecdotes and stories. Right now, she's engrossed in a novel that Ling Yun somehow put in there.

Before she even got home, Wu Qianyi woke up with a soft moan.

After she opened her eyes, she instantly realized something and sat up in horror.

Beside me were Ling Yun and Zhou Qiao, with Ling Lan driving. Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and music was playing in the car.

"I...I just...?"

The assistant scratched his head sheepishly, feeling that he had spoiled Ling Yun's mood.

"Mine." Ling Yun hugged her and kissed her twice. "I shouldn't have scared you like that."

"That ghost bride, she really, really is..."

"She is Qiaoqiao's betrothed sister-in-law. She has a good personality and has never harmed anyone."

"It's really a ghost!"

Perhaps it was because she saw the sun outside that Wu Qianyi became much bolder.

After repeatedly confirming that she could withstand it, Ling Yun released Dong Xiaodie.

Looking at Dong Xiaodie, who exuded a chilling aura, Wu Qianyi's breathing quickened. After a moment, she greeted her.

"Hello, Xiaodie."

"Hello, Sister Qianyi." Her voice still carried the chilling quality of a female ghost. "And hello, Qiaoqiao too."

"Hello, Sister Xiaodie!" Zhou Qiao greeted sweetly.

Since it was Ling Yun's arrangement, the two of them had no objections and were even looking forward to seeing the female ghost's face under the red veil.

"From now on, you'll stay with me and not go anywhere else."

Ling Yun forcefully wrapped his arms around Dong Xiaodie's waist. The female ghost lay crookedly in his arms, and her heart, which had clearly stopped beating, trembled slightly at some point.

"Yes, sir."

The bride in her wedding dress, coupled with her calling him "husband," made Ling Yun feel even more refreshed than drinking an ice-cold cola.

Back in Taoyuan Village, they had a meal at the village chief's house to welcome Dong Xiaodie to the village.

Ghosts can also eat; they can conceal their form, materialize to touch objects, and even control electronic devices such as surveillance cameras.

According to Xiao Ai, ghosts are a special kind of particle aggregate that cannot be erased by ordinary physical means.

Li Mengxuan had also heard about Dong Xiaodie's story. Aunt Wang and Zhou Qiao were both nice people, but they were powerless to make any decisions. Zhou Qiao had even secretly told her about it, hoping she could persuade her father.

She was the village chief, and she did try to persuade Zhou's father, but it was to no avail. At the time, they didn't know Dong Xiaodie had been forced into the bridal sedan chair; they only assumed she wasn't entirely satisfied with the marriage, otherwise they would have definitely called the police.

The female village chief held Dong Xiaodie's hand and told her that from now on, with Ling Yun by her side, no one would bully her anymore, and those who had hurt her would suffer the consequences.

Dong Xiaodie was deeply moved and, encouraged by Ling Yun and the other women, lifted her red veil.

"Wow, Xiaodie is so pretty!" the assistant exclaimed.

Zhou Qiao was also amazed by her, and Li Mengxuan looked at her again and again, unable to stop praising her.

"Everyone, let's eat. Stop staring at me, I... I get shy too!"

The group laughed and began their lunch. To accommodate Dong Xiaodie, Li Mengxuan only turned on one light and drew all the curtains.

Ling Yun had barely eaten a few bites when Ling Lan walked up to him.

"Owner."

"Ok?"

"I feel like I haven't been doing a good enough job."

"No, you've done great."

Ling Lan shook her head firmly: "I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a maid. From now on, as long as I am by your side, I will take care of feeding you."

"I have hands... um..."

Ling Lan's sexy maid dress, which she only wore in private, burst open at the chest, revealing a pair of enormous breasts that covered Ling Yun's face.

The other three women present were used to it, but Dong Xiaodie stood there dumbfounded.

Ling Lan straddled Ling Yun, picked up a small bowl, and put some food into it.

"Master, please."

She leaned back slightly, giving Ling Yun a chance to catch his breath.

Looking at the snow-white food and delicacies so close at hand, Ling Yun glanced at the stunned female ghost and reluctantly opened his mouth.
