Chapter 935 The Ghost and the Old-Fashioned Scholar (6)
Wen Yanci watched helplessly as that extremely beautiful face drew closer and closer, eventually obscuring all his vision.
He felt a soft touch on his lips, followed by a weight on his legs.
They kissed.
The female ghost regained her physical form.
Shen Shuyi sat on his lap, raised her hand and wrapped it around Wen Yanci's neck. "Wen Yanci, I read in a storybook that you should close your eyes when you kiss."
Why are you still staring at me?
Wen Yanci blushed deeply and reached out to push her away, saying, "Miss Shen, please get up."
Shen Shuyi wrapped her arms around his neck to guard against this move, and then leaned in to kiss Wen Yanci's lips again.
Just then, she heard the system notification sound.
[Congratulations, host! Your target, Wen Yanci, has reached a 5% affinity level with you!]
Shen Shuyi had won his favor, and overjoyed, she couldn't help but reward him by kissing him, deepening the kiss little by little.
Wen Yanci froze; he had never been so intimate with a woman before.
It was warm, soft, fragrant, and sweet. He realized he was captivated, and his face turned as red as if it were bleeding.
She...she's so brave.
Shen Shuyi released the man's lips and pecked him again.
His gaze drifted downwards, landing on Wen Yanci's crotch.
"Wen Yan bids farewell."
Wen Yanci was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die. He quickly got up and turned his back to Shen Shuyi.
Seeing him facing the wall in repentance, Shen Shu smiled smugly, "Hey, I haven't even said anything yet!"
She said no more, transformed back into her spirit form, and floated out of the window. There was no one guarding the area. A frail scholar, imprisoned, was practically trapped and there was no need for him to bother watching over him.
With a loud bang, the door to the woodshed opened.
Wen Yanci snapped out of his daze, but the shame in his heart hadn't subsided. He grabbed himself angrily, hating himself for being so spineless. Even in his current state of destitution, he still acted like an animal, easily provoked.
Shen Shuyi opened the door and was met with Wen Yanci's flushed face.
"Don't go yet, wait for me, I have something to do."
Shen Shuyi explained to him, "My true form resides in the hairpin. If you are too far away from me, I have to return to the hairpin."
Wen Yanci nodded, "Where are you going, young lady?"
"Don't worry about it, just find a place to hide. I'll be back soon." With that, Shen Shuyi disappeared.
She went to find that纨绔 (playboy) young master Fan, whose courtyard was brightly lit and extremely luxurious.
Shen Shuyi flew onto the roof and suddenly heard screams coming from the side room. The servants and guards outside seemed to be very familiar with these things. Their faces were expressionless, and they just looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Help! Help me!"
"Young Master Fan, please let me go! I'm already engaged!"
A lewd male voice rang out, "This young master prefers those with marriage contracts. Isn't following me better than you farming with that country bumpkin?"
"Be a good girl and become my ninth concubine, and I guarantee you a life of plenty."
Fan Jian had a penchant for forcibly taking women, even married women.
His family was wealthy, and his sister was even the concubine of an official, so the government wouldn't do anything to him.
"If you don't comply, I'll sell you to a brothel!"
Shen Shuyi lifted a tile and saw the scene inside the side room. Without hesitation, she floated in.
Outsiders couldn't see her; she raised the candlestick and used the candlelight to burn the beast's hair.
Fan Jian cried out in surprise as he saw the candlestick chasing after him.
He was terrified, crying out, "A ghost! A ghost—"
Shen Shuyi grabbed a candlestick and smashed it at Fan Jian, causing him to scream in agony and urinate in fear.
The girl he had been bullying scrambled to her feet in a panic and opened the door with trembling hands.
Hearing their young master's screams, the guards outside disregarded the fleeing woman and rushed in to help him, thinking they had encountered an assassin.
To their surprise, they saw Fan Jian being chased and smashed on the head by candlesticks, his head bleeding profusely. "A ghost! There really is a ghost!"
"what to do?!"
"What else can we do? Let's hurry and go find the master!"
Shen Shuyi glanced at the fleeing servants, then raised her hand and pointed, sending a beam of light shooting out, striking them squarely between the eyebrows. The servants paused, then continued running.
Shen Shuyi continued to swing the candlestick in her hand, smashing Fan Jian unconscious and crippling his manhood before leaving.
Soon Master Fan arrived with his servants. They watched as the candlestick fell to the ground, and everything returned to normal. Apart from Fan Jian, who had fainted, there was no one else in the room!
"Quick! Call the doctor over!"
Recalling the terrifying scene just now, Master Fan called to the steward, "Find a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost!"
"Yes!"
All the servants and family members of the Fan family gathered in Fan Jian's courtyard. Shen Shuyi floated back to the artificial hill where Wen Yanci was, and she grabbed Wen Yanci's hand, "Let's go!"
Wen Yanci was caught off guard by her pull. "Miss Shen, I just heard a lot of people running in one direction. What happened?"
"I'm not going to tell you." Shen Shuyi deliberately spoke in his ear, her breath brushing against his ear.
Wen Yanci asked softly, "Are you alright?"
Shen Shuyi was about to say that she was a ghost and it was nothing, but then she teased him, "There is something wrong."
"You don't know how many Buddha statues are in the Fan family mansion. I was affected by their light, and it hurt my soul."
Wen Yanci was indeed nervous. "Miss Shen, what should we do?"
Shen Shuyi raised her face, smiled at him, and winked.
"Give me a kiss, and my soul will be more secure!"
Wen Yanci realized he was being amused by her lively and adorable smile.
His gaze sharpened, and he walked away quickly.
Shen Shuyi chased after him, and when they returned home, the man immediately closed the door.
She floated inside, glanced at the man who had lit the candlestick, and asked, "Are you planning to sleep like this?"
"Wen Yanci, you are injured."
Wen Yanci knew he was injured, but the pharmacy was closed late at night, and even if it were open, he wouldn't have the money to buy medicine.
"It's a minor injury, nothing serious."
Shen Shuyi leaned forward and unexpectedly pressed her lips to his, saying, "Lend me an hour, and I'll find you some medicine."
Before Wen Yanci could react, her lips felt soft against his.
The girl, who had just returned to her soul form, took on a physical form again and walked out the door holding a candlestick.
Wen Yanci quickly followed, "Miss Shen, where are you going?"
She is a "person" now, and it's not safe for her to go out late at night.
Shen Shuyi came to the large courtyard overgrown with weeds, "to find herbs to stop bleeding and remove bruises."
She fixed her gaze on him and shoved the candlestick into Wen Yanci's hand. "Come here and use this light while I dig for herbs."
Wen Yanci held up the candlestick, his gaze falling on the girl's gentle and beautiful profile.
"Miss Shen, you recognize herbs and understand pharmacology?"
Shen Shuyi: "Hmm, I think I should understand. Anyway, I have these memories in my mind."
She dug out a plant root that looked a bit like ginger. "This is called Panax notoginseng. You can grind it up and apply it to the wound to stop the bleeding."
"I'll apply the medicine for you in a bit."
Wen Yanci quickly thanked her for her kindness, "Miss Shen, please give me the Sanqi (a traditional Chinese medicine), and I can stop the bleeding and bandage it myself."
Shen Shuyi tilted her head to look at him, her face full of suspicion.
"You have injuries not only on your forehead, but also on your back. Can you manage on your own?"
She made a quick decision: "Go back to your room, take off your clothes, and wait."
"I'll grind the medicine and then come over to apply it for you."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yanci's ears and face turned red again.
