Ghosts Know What I Experienced Chapter 48.3: Just who is your fiancée?!!!

Chapter 48 Part 3
It wasn’t until noon on the seventh day, when Xi Jia was scooping the rice and turned his head to ask Ye Jingzhi how much he wanted to eat when he suddenly heard a muffled groan.
The hand Xi Jia held the rice paddle with suddenly stopped in midair as he turned to look. Ye Jingzhi was sitting on a chair in the dining room. His complexion suddenly turned pale. Scarlet red color flooded his right eye. His lips were frighteningly white, and bean-sized sweat quickly rolled down from his forehead, soaking his clothes.
The pain from when baleful energy broke out hurt Ye Jingzhi so much that even his bones shook. But when he looked up at Xi Jia, he exerted his strength to show a smile as he said in a trembling voice, “Jia……Jia Jia, it doesn’t hurt, d-don’t be afraid.”
Xi Jia immediately set down the rice bowl. With a large stride forward, he rushed to the dining room. He tightly held Ye Jingzhi. The black baleful energy rushed out from Ye Jingzhi’s body, but it could only fly a meter out before it was blocked by Cengxiu-zhenjun’s enchantment that he had laid down seven days ago. It was incapable of scattering outside.
Xi Jia used his strength to tightly hold Ye Jingzhi. He could clearly sense that this person was trembling due to the pain. But like this, Ye Jingzhi still remained next to his ear as he said words of comfort again and again, telling him that he didn’t need to be afraid and that he himself was fine.
Xi Jia’s heart shook. He hated that he was powerless and could only hug this person in his embrace, wanting to use his body to warm Ye Jingzhi’s ice-cold one.
The eruption of baleful energy this time was much weaker than seven days ago. But because it was much weaker, it didn’t hurt to the point of numbness. Ye Jingzhi consciously endured the pain for over 4 hours before finally returning to normal. He didn’t faint like last time, but he didn’t have the strength to hug Xi Jia back. At this moment, Xi Jia had already firmly held him for four hours and didn’t let go once.
The weak and hoarse voice quietly sounded in the dining room, “Sorry, I broke the chair, and the food is also gone.”
Xi Jia’s heart hurt. He buried his face into Ye Jingzhi’s shoulder, unable to speak.
Ye Jingzhi really wanted to hug Xi Jia tightly, but he truly had no strength. Even if it were him, for a moment, he also couldn’t bear the painful suffering for four hours. He used his arm to weakly draw himself towards Xi Jia. They both didn’t speak. After a long time, he said in a quiet voice, “You haven’t eaten yet, Jia Jia, what do you want to eat, I’ll cook for you……”
Xi Jia pushed him away, both angry and touched.
Ye Jingzhi looked at him in confusion, and Xi Jia glared at him angrily.
After looking at each other for a long time, Xi Jia finally calmed down and seriously said, “In the future, you have to take care of yourself. Only when you’re fine will I be fine. Right now, you shouldn’t move, I’ll help you onto the bed. Rest for a bit, I’ll make something light and bring it to your room.”
Xi Jia supported Ye Jingzhi by the arm back into the room, pressed him onto the bed, and meticulously pulled the covers over him.
Xi Jia was very angry in his heart, but he couldn’t say anything. He was angry that this person. Even if he was in so much pain, he still only thought about him and was even thinking if he was hungry or not. Couldn’t you just think for a second. Your body right now wasn’t well and should be taken care of by others instead!
However, if he wasn’t like this, then he wasn’t Ye Jingzhi.
Always treating others well, when would he be a bit better towards himself. If he couldn’t think of himself first, then Xi Jia wouldn’t take offense. In the future, he would help Master Ye take care of himself!
After half an hour, Xi Jia took a bowl of millet congee and reached Ye Jingzhi’s room. Ye Jingzhi immediately raised his head to look at him. What the room was like when he left was how the room was, nothing had been touched.
Only then was Xi Jia satisfied by a bit. After Ye Jingzhi had eaten something, he sighed and said, “Don’t always treat others so well in the future, think more about yourself.”
Xi Jia didn’t know how others dated, but perhaps he was the only person in this world that would say to his boyfriend: I hope you think about yourself more, you don’t need to always think about me.
Ye Jingzhi finished eating the congee. After hearing this, he immediately replied, “Only good to you.”
Xi Jia was stunned, “What?”
Ye Jingzhi said, “I’m only good to you.”
His face suddenly turned red. Xi Jia coughed twice and turned his head away. Ye Jingzhi thought he didn’t believe him and said, “Fellow Daoist Measurement came to find me the year before. He said that we’re friends and wants me to reduce the fee for him. Later, when he attended the Poyang Ghost market, he only gave Wu Xiang Mountain 10% instead of 20%.”
Xi Jia asked, “You agreed?”
“No.” Ye Jingzhi shook his head, “This has been Wu Xiang Mountain’s rule for 200 years and cannot be changed so I didn’t agree. But Jia Jia, I’ll give everything to you.”Xi Jia thought Ye Jingzhi was talking about that if he went, the fee for him would be waived. He smiled as he said, “I don’t know how to refine treasures or draw talismans. I don’t have that much money and can’t go to Poyang Ghost Market to buy antiques. So there’s nothing I can do to set up a stall.”
Ye Jingzhi asked back, “Why would you need to set up a stall?”
Xi Jia, “If I don’t don’t set up a stall, how would I earn money?”
Ye Jingzhi said, “When they buy things, there would be a 20% fee.” Pausing, he added, “This is Wu Xiang Mountain’s rule for Poyang City Ghost Market.”
Xi Jia laughed, “That is Wu Xiang Mountain’s profit, what does that have to do with me?”
Ye Jingzhi, “But isn’t that yours.”
Xi Jia sighed, “Speaking of Poyang City Ghost Market, I remember that I still owe you 16 po……ints……” His voice suddenly came to an end. Xi Jia looked at Ye Jingzhi in disbelief. After a long time, he said one word at a time, “Master Ye, you just said, what……is mine?”
Ye Jingzhi sat on the bed, his gaze sincere and expression tranquil, “ My points, my magic treasures, and……” The tips of his ears reddened all of a sudden as he continued to say, “These are all yours.”
Xi Jia, “……”
“Jia Jia!”
Brother Jia nearly fainted from the hit by this huge sum of money.
Before, Xi Jia had only treated the words that Master Ye had said at the Mausoleum as love prattle and didn’t take them seriously. He had seen some TV dramas where some men would say that whatever house was yours, cars were yours, and later bankbooks were for you to be in charge of while confession. By the time they’re really together, who knew if that would happen.
This was a generic love pattern, and Xi Jia was moved. But he couldn’t really ask Ye Jingzhi to give everything to him. However now, not only did Master Ye say it, he even took out his Qiankun bag and stuffed it into Xi Jia’s palm.
“For you, all for you.”
“Xi Jia, “……”
Who else in this world was better than Master Ye, asking, who else?!!!
Words were spoken like this, but Xi Jia didn’t want it. Ye Jingzhi looked at him in confusion. Xi Jia seriously said, “I don’t know magic and can’t use these magic treasures. Also Master Ye, those 16 points was borrowed before we established our relationship and with a status as friends. I will give the 16 points back to you. As for the future, let’s talk later.” En, withdrawing his restless hand, Master Ye treated him so great, he couldn’t covet these useless things……actually still pretty useful.
Ye Jingzhi took notice of a point, “Lent you as a friend?”
“Yes.”
Ye Jingzhi wrinkled his brows, “At that time, we weren’t friends, could it be that we’re not……”
“Bang bang bang——“
“Open open open the door! I know you’re inside, hurry up and open the door, hurry up and open the door!”
Ye Jingzhi hadn’t finished speaking when hurried knocking interrupted him. Xi Jia went to the door to take a look. His mouth twitch as he opened the front door and said, “How come you’re here?”
Standing before the door was fashionably dressed Charlatan Pei.
When Pei Yu heard Xi Jia, his face immediately became bitter. He removed his sunglasses and looked at Xi Jia, sad and heartbroken. He criticized, “Brother Jia, you have a lover but no humanity! Once you have Hell King Ye, you don’t care about us little Celestial Masters anymore. Have you forgotten about our friendship that we once had!? Now, you are very wealthy, you don’t lack points, but think about me, think about me who is so poor to the point of clinking sounds, wuwuwuwu……”1
Xi Jia wanted to reprimand Pei Yu for talking rubbish. When did he live off of a rich man, but he recalled Ye Jingzhi’s words just now. Brother Jia suddenly had a guilty conscience. He covered up his mouth and coughed a couple times, “What does you lacking in points or not have to do with me? Could it not be because you’re lazy and didn’t go hunt ghosts to earn points?”
Pei Yu glared, “Does your conscience not hurt?!”
Xi Jia expressionlessly closed the door, “Not only does it not hurt, it’s even elated.”
Pei Yu who had been left outside of the door, “……”
Only after Pei Yu was let in did Xi Jia know that what Pei Yu had said wasn’t completely without reason.
Pei Yu first lamented in anguish. Originally, Xi Jia had asked him to keep his Body of Extreme Yin a secret. He honestly kept the secret. In the end, Xi Jia exposed it. Xi Jia thought for a second and found it very reasonable, but, “That is my matter. Although it didn’t earn you points, I said it myself, it should be nothing right?” This should be expected as a matter of course!
Pei Yu glanced at him with hidden bitterness, “Brother Jia, have you earned points yet?”
Xi Jia who had been hit suddenly by an arrow to the chest, “……”
Pei Yu was about to continue talking when the door behind them suddenly creaked while being pushed open by someone.
Ye Jingzhi carried the bowl and chopsticks as he walked out of the room.
Suddenly seeing him, Pei Yu was so scared that he subconsciously hid behind Xi Jia and noisily wept, “Brother Jia, why didn’t you say so earlier that Hell King Ye is also at your home.”
Xi Jia, “Did you give me time to say it?”
Pei Yu, “……”
After confirming that Hell King Ye went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, Pei Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief. But soon, he was suddenly seething in anger and used an extremely wrathful gaze to glare at Xi Jia. Xi Jia was also frightened by this look of his. This look was simply like some deep hatred and irreconcilable animosity.
Did he do something to let Pei Yu down?
Xi Jia thought for a bit, sitting upright and still, “Apologies, I will immediately tell you if Master Ye is at home in the future.”
Pei Yu was so angry to the point of tears, “Brother Jia, you actually didn’t apologize to me. I have been waiting for so long, and you didn’t even say sorry to me!”
Xi Jia had an ineffable expression. What did he do, and why would he need to say sorry to you?
Pei Yu looked at Xi Jia’s blank expression. He was both angry and upset. Lifting up his thin t-shirt, Xi Jia said, “……What, you wanna play with me? Master Ye’s still here, you’re not afraid anymore?”
Pei Yu pointed to his abs-less stomach, “Look a bit more clearly.”
Xi Jia moved closer and carefully looked, noticing, “Did you get kicked by someone?”
“My master!”
Xi Jia laughed, “Who made you misjudge last time, taking your junior sister to such a dangerous place and even nearly making her disfigured.”
Pei Yu’s felt exasperated and said, “This was the kick that my master did last week! That day, I haven’t had the time to go to Chang’an when I heard that Chang’an was fine so I went back to the capital. Who would’ve thought that my master would come back after two days, I was about to go up and show some concern and give my respects when Master just lifted his foot and kicked me! Brother Jia, do you think you should apologize to me!”
Xi Jia, “……”
What does your master kicking you in the stomach have to do with him!
Pei Yu saw that Xi Jia still had an ineffable expression. He put his clothes on properly and said, “My master ruthlessly beat me up for a round. Only until the next day did I faint. Then after I had just woken up and saw that ‘Ghosts Know’ had given me a fine, I fainted again in fright and only woke up yesterday. Otherwise, I would have came to find you earlier. Brother Jia, are you worthy of me?!”
Xi Jia, “……how did I let you down?”
Pei Yu wept, “At that time, I denied the rumor for you and even told you about this matter. Since you know that it’s real, why didn’t you tell me? Now it’s just great, Master is very angry and said that I let another opportunity to earning points slip by. I was also told by ‘Ghosts Know’ that I had falsely denied a rumor, affected their reputation, and was fined 100,000 points! A total of 100,000 points, with this, it would take me 100 years without eating or drinking in order to save that much, wuwuwuwu……”
Listening to here, Xi Jia finally sensed the area that was amiss, “What do you mean the rumor is true? What does that mean?”
“At that time, there was someone who had a scoop saying that you’re a girl and also said that you’re Hell King Ye’s future wife.”
Xi Jia wrinkled his brows, “That is simply fake news. Could it be that you think that I’m a girl?”
Pei Yu, “How can a girl be as cruel as you, even Hu Die can’t compare with you. But Brother Jia, why didn’t you tell me that you’re Hell King Ye’s future wife!!!”
Xi Jia, “……”
After a moment, Xi Jia burst into laughter. He laughed for a long time, and Pei Yu noisily cried as he looked at him. Xi Jia finally stopped his laughter and patted Charlatan Pei’s shoulder, “This is really fake news, Pei Yu, you have to hurry and sue “Ghosts Know” for libel. They have to compensate a lot of points to you.”
Pei Yu bellowed, “‘Ghosts Know’ even published an article last week that you’re Hell King Ye’s future wife!!!”
“Quickly wake up, the sky is bright, how could I be……”
“Jia Jia is indeed my future wife.”
A deep male voice sounded from behind Xi Jia, interrupting Xi Jia’s words.
His body instantly froze. Xi Jia widened his eyes, and his movements became stiff. He slowly turned around to look at the man walking towards him.
Ye Jingzhi carried a basket of washed apples. He glanced at Pei Yu. After thinking a bit, he reluctantly grabbed the smallest one and gave it to Pei Yu. He indifferently said, “Jia Jia is indeed my future wife. Fellow Daoist Pei, is there a problem?” Saying this, Ye Jingzhi carefully selected the biggest and reddest apple and happily placed it in Xi Jia’s hand.
“Jia Jia, eat an apple.”
Tears flowed down Pei Yu’s face, “Brother Jia, 100,000 points ah, 100,000! Wuwuwuwu……”
Xi Jia’s mouth hung open, dumbfounded, “……”
Eat what apple, say it clearly first, just who’s your future wife?!!!
The Author has something to say:
Mirror: Wife is so good to me, I need to give the best and biggest apple to wife =w=
C+: You say it again, who is your future wife?!!!
