Zhao Mingyue’s action seemed somewhat silly and sweet, but her personality didn’t seem to be that of a silly, sweet girl. Bai Yu had never seen a silly, sweet girl who could lift a hammer and without hesitation break a stranger’s arm, then run away without even blinking.

Sitting behind Bai Yu, Zhao Mingyue gently sorted out Bai Yu’s messy hair.

“Ghosts’ bodies are not quite what I imagined. I thought they were the kind that you could see but not touch.”

Wetting Bai Yu’s hair with water, then gently combing it down, the messy hair really did get wet. Zhao Mingyue carefully managed it, untangling the knotted parts and smoothing it from top to bottom.

“Your hair is really nice, the quality is very good. I’m glad I asked you to take a bath, otherwise it would look bad being disheveled.”

Delicate hands stirred up splashes of water, parting Bai Yu’s hair from the middle to reveal her neck. Looking at that pale skin, Zhao Mingyue felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Dying at such a young age, she must not have experienced much of a beautiful life.

Fingertips glided over the back of Bai Yu’s neck, Zhao Mingyue continued to manage her hair and spoke softly, “Did you kill the landlord in the end?”

“No.”

“Will he die?”

“Yes.”

“Well… It’s retribution, I guess. But that female ghost, is there a way to deal with her? We can’t keep her here forever.” Zhao Mingyue knew that the landlord would most likely be killed by Xiao Lian. Lu Liangting’s situation was temporarily unknown, and unfortunately, this was not something she could interfere with, nor did she have the ability to do so.

She wouldn’t forcefully demand Bai Yu to do anything. Bai Yu had her own consciousness, and if she wanted to do something, she would do it. She respects her choices.

Moreover, that female ghost was indeed difficult to deal with. She couldn’t ask Bai Yu to save people regardless of the cost, could she?

“There is a way to deal with her, it’s just a bit troublesome. That ghost is harder to deal with than I thought. I can get rid of her for a short time, but it’s almost impossible to eradicate her forever unless this building is demolished. Another way is to go to Dongcheng No. 13 Middle School and bring her two children back.”

Sitting in the cold bathtub, Bai Yu could clearly feel Zhao Mingyue tidying her hair behind her. Her fingers occasionally brushed her body, it was a strange feeling.

And speaking of which, being able to touch her had something to do with her own physique.

Bai Yu wasn’t sure at first, but now after encountering many ghosts, she could be certain of one thing, her body was different from that of ordinary ghosts, the most direct evidence was right here.

Ordinary ghosts, Zhao Mingyue would 100% be unable to touch.

What are the disadvantages and advantages of this physique? That is temporarily unknown.

“Dongcheng No. 13 Middle School seems to be one of the tasks on the phone.” Hearing this name, Zhao Mingyue remembered something.

“Yes.”

“Then by completing this task, we can also find Xiao Lian’s children, right? I can’t go there yet, I still have classes. If it’s like this every day, I think I’ll be eaten by the teacher before I get eaten by a ghost.”

It was now two in the morning, and she hadn’t rested yet. If she did this again tomorrow, she wouldn’t be able to stand it.

“It’s okay, I can suppress her.”

“Then I’ll leave it to Miss Bai Yu. It’s good to have you here.” While speaking, Zhao Mingyue began to apply shampoo to Bai Yu’s hair, gently rubbing it.

She couldn’t help but sigh at the many thoughts in her heart. Life is full of uncertainties. If it were her a few days ago, she would never have thought that one day she would be bathing a ghost.

After rinsing off the shampoo, Zhao Mingyue picked up a strand of hair and marveled. To be honest, she was somewhat envious of the hair quality. Several hairstyles that would suit Bai Yu came to mind.

“Um, do you need help with your body?”

“No need.”

“Alright, just let me know if you need anything.”

Bai Yu listened to her cheerful tone, and without turning her head, she could imagine the silly smile on Zhao Mingyue’s face at this moment. She sighed helplessly in her heart, her body disappeared from the bathtub, and then appeared outside the bathtub, the water droplets on her body completely gone, the bandages made of blood threads wrapped around her body.

“This is already fine as it is.”

She really couldn’t stand that feeling. She usually wouldn’t let anyone get so close behind her, let alone let a stranger touch her neck. Not to mention the bath, which was unacceptable to her.

It’s not that she couldn’t accept it, it’s just a feeling she couldn’t describe in words.

“Alright then, wait for me to finish bathing, and then I’ll tie your hair for you. Wait for me outside.”

As soon as Zhao Mingyue finished speaking, Bai Yu disappeared from the bathroom, her departure somewhat resembling a hasty escape.

“Hey, I haven’t finished yet.” Zhao Mingyue’s cherry lips opened slightly, “Never mind, I’ll talk about it after I go out.”

“What exactly happened in her past to turn such a girl into this?”

She murmured softly. In Zhao Mingyue’s heart, Bai Yu belonged to the kind of person who was more silent and had a dark personality, extremely lacking a sense of security towards everything and everyone around her. It would be difficult for ordinary people to communicate with her.

The most important point is that Bai Yu is very aggressive!

Zhao Mingyue could see that apart from herself, she had great hostility towards anyone else. Given the chance, she would at least injure the other party, or at worst, kill them.

This had an absolute relationship with her experiences, not to mention that such a frail looking girl had such skills. It wasn’t flashy performance moves, but practical, efficient killing techniques.

That was how she fought with the female ghost. It was ghost fighting ghost. If it were person fighting person, the other party would either die or lose the ability to fight.

“She is actually wary of me too, but it’s much better than with anyone else. She is trying to accept me, but I haven’t been able to really enter her heart.”

“That’s right, it’s only been two days. There’s still a lot of time in the future, so I’ll take it slow.”

Zhao Mingyue was still in the bathroom, and Bai Yu could hear her humming softly from outside.

Without disturbing her, Bai Yu went to the living room window and gazed at the street outside.

The matter of the ghost building was basically over. The old landlord would temporarily appease the female ghost’s resentment, but the problem was that this wouldn’t last long. To put an end to future troubles, they had to go to Dongcheng No. 13 Middle School to bring back the female ghost’s children. Otherwise, even if they killed her, as long as the building was still there, she would revive in a short time.

The old landlord’s actions seemed to imprison the female ghost here, but in fact, they bound her more deeply to this place. To put it more seriously, the fourth and fifth floors were where the female ghost’s body was, not the corpse on the fifth floor.

“Somebody called the police. It looks like that guy Lu Liangting woke up and is still alive.”

Lu Liangting had something on him, something that was very lethal to ghosts. She couldn’t directly act against him, planning to use someone else to kill him. She had borrowed several “knives” but none had succeeded, not even the big boss of this building could kill him.

The sound of police sirens faintly came from the street. Bai Yu’s hearing is very sensitive, she could confirm that the police cars were heading towards the building. Combined with the noise coming from the fifth floor, it was almost certain.

Just as Bai Yu was pondering these things, the bathroom door opened.

Zhao Mingyue was wiping her wet hair with a towel in one hand, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, looking youthful and beautiful.

“Bai Yu, why are you wearing that white dress again?”

“It’s comfortable.”

“Okay, come here, let me comb your hair.”

Bai Yu didn’t speak but sat in front of the mirror, watching Zhao Mingyue behind her braid her hair through the mirror.

At two-thirty in the morning, Zhao Mingyue combed a ghost’s hair without any psychological pressure. Her hands were very dexterous, and in no time, she braided a scorpion braid for Bai Yu, then touched her chin and shook her head. ¹

“No, it doesn’t look good. Twintails are still the best. Loli with twintails, or rather, low twintails, that’s the perfect match.”

1. i have no idea what kind of braid is scorpion braid.
