I heard that I’ll be super fierce after my death - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: This Is My Wife

After walking out of the lift, Lin Wu saw Xiao Qin waiting for him outside the 5th floor’s lift entrance. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Qin was puzzled.

Lin Wu cast a glance at the surroundings. No one was paying attention to him; thus, he wouldn’t be treated as a lunatic for talking to the air. He then helplessly spoke, “Because you were not present, I was sneak-attacked by Xia Bing.”

“You were sneak-attacked by Xia Bing?” Xiao Qin cast a bewildered look at Lin Wu. “But I don’t feel that your body has any remnants of yin aura”

“What yin aura? My neck is already red from her choking, right?” Lin Wu lifted his head, allowing her to look at his neck.

Xiao Qin glanced at him and discovered that there were indeed red scratch marks on his neck. But she shook her head. “That’s only an external injury on the surface. By logic, if you are attacked by a ghost, the yin aura from it will enter your body. If the yin aura is too heavy, it would cause your body to grow increasingly weaker.”

“No wonder Shi Qiuhong’s constitution is so bad…” A flash of understanding appeared in Lin Wu’s mind. “If the cold qi (yin aura) from ghosts is heavy and seeps into a human body, the human will definitely catch a cold if it is prolonged, correct?”

Xiao Qin speechlessly glanced at him. “How would the consequences be so simple as catching a cold? After a living human is married to a ghost, the human’s body would be weaker day after day. They wouldn’t have long to live.”

“Is that so? But I don’t feel it.” Lin Wu was astonished.

When he was together with Pei Jianing, other than feeling a little cold, he didn’t feel any sense of weakness at all.

“You can sense the malicious intent of ghosts toward you, and you are also not afraid of yin aura from ghosts…” Xiao Qin nodded her head lightly. “Indeed, you are different from ordinary humans. Maybe, this is the reason why you would become such a terrifying malicious ghost after your death.”

“It’s a pity that the strength of malicious ghosts is too great.” Lin Wu helplessly clicked his tongue. “Xia Bing was crushed so thoroughly by Pei Jianing, yet I can’t even defend myself against her.”

After speaking, he couldn’t help but sigh. He then walked through the corridor, moving toward Shi Qiuhong’s office.

Xiao Qin quietly followed beside him and spoke, “Living humans naturally have no way to deal with malicious ghosts. But malicious ghosts are very rare.”

Lin Wu rolled his eyes. “Very rare? I’ve already seen three in these two days.”

“Other than these few days, have you met any ghosts before?” Xiao Qin speechlessly cast a glance at him. “Now, it’s only because of the reincarnation and the matchmaker. That’s the reason why ghosts took the initiative to look for you. If not, you wouldn’t even be able to meet a single one in your entire life.”

Lin Wu touched his nose. This really did seem to be the case.

He thought about it and spoke, “But Xia Bing originally wasn’t a malicious ghost. After being angered by me, she then immediately transformed into one.”

“How is that possible?” Xiao Qin directly shook her head. “You are merely a fuse.”

“A fuse?”

“She was tormented by the matchmaker before, have you forgotten it?”

Xiao Qin glanced at him. “The red string is the torture tool made by the matchmaker. Once the red string enters a soul, it would generate terrifying pain. The more painful it is, the easier it will be for the ghost to generate resentment. Some ghosts who originally have deep resentments, after they are tortured by the matchmaker, they would become a malicious ghost. For those who are already malicious ghosts, they would become even more terrifying.”

“No wonder, when Xia Bing was peeping at me, her resentment was so great, and I have never had any feud with her before.” A flash of understanding appeared in Lin Wu’s mind.

While they spoke, they arrived at Shi Qiuhong’s office.

Before he knocked on the door, Lin Wu turned and looked at Xiao Qin. He reminded, “Remember what I said, my girlfriend is a superstar. Okay?”

“I know.” Xiao Qin rolled her eyes.

Only then did Lin Wu knock.

“Boom, boom, boom.”

Very soon, the door opened. Shi Qiuhong was still in her afternoon’s attire. Although she still looked like a sickly beauty, her complexion was no longer that pale. It was like she had recovered somewhat.

“…You…” Shi Qiuhong opened her mouth, wanting to call his name, but she stopped herself. This fellow hadn’t told her his name yet. Thus, she could only helplessly say, “You came?”

“I’m here.”

Lin Wu nodded, suddenly feeling that their words had a little Gulong (famous chinese novel writer) style in them.

However, Shi Qiuhong didn’t say, ‘You still came’. She turned her gaze straight to Xiao Qin who was beside him.

She faintly felt that this woman was a little familiar, like she had seen her somewhere before. However, she didn’t think too deeply into it and merely politely asked, “Is this lady the friend you mentioned? The one who could interact with ghosts?”

She didn’t recognize Lu Shaoyan?

Lin Wu started slightly. He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qin who was beside him. Only now did he realize that a pair of shades and a face mask had appeared on her face. It was really like how a superstar would dress when they headed out.

“I’ll introduce you after we go in.”

Lin Wu spoke. After that, he stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Qin’s dainty hand in the passing. He didn’t expect that he actually managed to get hold of it, feeling a little astonished.

It seemed that Xiao Qin was really a person who kept her promise. She was willing to let him hold her hand. What a good friend.

The two humans and one ghost entered the office, closing the door.

“Let me introduce you, this is my wife.”

Lin Wu pulled Xiao Qin along with him as he introduced her. He took the opportunity to lock fingers with her. Although the temperature of her hand was a little low, the tactile sensation wasn’t bad. After that, he smiled. “You ought to know who she is. After all, not many people wouldn’t know of her in the country.”

Shi Qiuhong started slightly. A superstar?

Xiao Qin stretched her hand and took down her shades. When in the motion of doing so, she ruthlessly cast a glare at Lin Wu, indicating for him not to go too overboard. Wasn’t she supposed to be his ‘girlfriend’? How did she end up becoming his ‘wife’?

After that, she put her shades down and removed her face mask. She calmly nodded to Shi Qiuhong, “Hello.”

“…”

Shi Qiuhong was dumbstruck. She glanced at Xiao Qin and back to Lin Wu. Her entire person was in a daze. It was like her world outlook, personal values, and life’s perspectives were now under a great impact.

In the morning, she had thought that Lin Wu had just been treating Lu Shaoyan as an imaginative wife. She didn’t expect that Lin Wu would bring the real person here now.

(Is this…a movie?)

When Lin Wu saw Shi Qiuhong’s reaction, he was extremely satisfied that he felt he was about to soar in the sky. He forcibly endured the impulse to laugh frantically, intentionally putting on a puzzled expression as he asked, “What’s wrong?”

One couldn’t help but say that Xiao Qin’s acting skills were really great. She was completely like the real Lu Shaoyan.

In the past, when he took his small book and looked for Lu Shaoyan to get her autograph, Lu Shaoyan merely cast a look of arrogance at him. She didn’t even give him a chance to speak and directly walked away, disregarding him.

“Ah, nothing.”

Only now did Shi Qiuhong wake up from her daze. She forcefully squeezed out a smile and spoke to Lu Shaoyan, “I just didn’t expect that the zero scandal heavenly diva would already be married. Hence, I was in a daze earlier.”

“I already told you in the morning that my wife is more beautiful than you. But you didn’t believe me.” Lin Wu couldn’t help but laugh.

Which beauty would admit that their looks were inferior to others?

Shi Qiuhong also felt that she could be considered a great beauty, and she naturally wasn’t willing to admit so. Hence, when she heard Lin Wu’s words, her face turned black and she felt an impulse to curse him right now.

However, she had something that she needed his help with and could only forcefully smile. “Madam Lu is indeed more beautiful than me. She can even converse with ghosts. Truly amazing.”

“That’s only natural. My wife pushed aside a lot of commercial appearances just to help you. All this was done because she was giving me face. You better know how to repay this debt of gratitude properly.”

As Lin Wu spoke, he acted like he wanted a foot after Xiao Qin gave him an inch, placing his arm around her waist. Although the temperature was lower than usual, the tactile sensation was almost the same as that of a real woman’s waist. He couldn’t help but sigh in pity that it was a little too cold and the tactile sensation wasn’t perfect. But he could still force himself to accept this and treat it like he was hugging Lu Shaoyan’s waist.

This damn hooligan…

Xiao Qin’s lips twitched. She forcefully stopped herself from immediately vanishing into thin air. She then spoke to Shi Qiuhong, “Miss Shi, I’m still in a rush. If it’s convenient, can we head to the morgue now?”

“Oh, okay.” Shi Qiuhong nodded.
