Ch 2: My Sister-in-law’s Taunts

Wen Churou, upon hearing the news, initially thought she had misheard, or that Zhang Buran had made a mistake.

“What? Did I hear wrong? You, a diehard simp, are actually initiating a divorce from your elder sister? Aren’t you just throwing another little temper tantrum?”

“Zhang Buran, let me tell you, even if you use these petty means, my elder sister won’t give you a second glance!”

Wen Churou finished, still glaring at Zhang Buran with arrogance.

She believed Zhang Buran was using some tricks, playing the game of feigned indifference.

After all, Zhang Buran, a son-in-law who married into the family, should be burning incense and praying to Buddha just to be able to live a wealthy life in the Wen Family.

The most crucial point is.

In Wen Churou’s eyes, Zhang Buran was merely a faithful simp to Wen Chuhan.

In this relationship, he was as humble as could be.

He always wanted to cling to her sister like a tenacious adhesive.

Would Zhang Buran ever willingly divorce?

But Wen Churou was wrong. Zhang Buran didn’t even turn his head, only calmly dropping a sentence:

“You heard correctly, we’re getting a divorce.”

Afterward, he left without looking back.

Leaving only a shocked Wen Churou.

“Zhang Buran, don’t regret this. I will tell my elder sister everything you said, word for word. Don’t think about my sister easily forgiving you!”

“If you turn back now and kneel down and beg me! This Miss might forgive you. Otherwise, once you step out of this door, wanting to gain my forgiveness and my sister’s forgiveness will be impossible!”

Wen Churou chased after him, saying viciously again.

Zhang Buran, who had just taken his first step out of the villa’s doors, paused.

Seeing Zhang Buran stop, Wen Churou thought that Zhang Buran, who was throwing a tantrum, was scared, and she became even more unrestrained in her belittling:

“Zhang Buran, you, you should just be a good son-in-law of a wealthy family, playing these childish tricks… Do you think that by playing feigned indifference, my sister will fall for you?”

“My sister will always only like someone of equal status, Young Master Gu, Gu Yun. As for you, if it weren’t for Grandfather insisting on my sister marrying you, with my sister’s status as the daughter of a wealthy family, she wouldn’t even give someone like you, a bottom-rung person, a second glance!”

“What right do you have to cause trouble in front of my sister!”

Zhang Buran gave a self-deprecating laugh and spoke: “I suddenly realize that you and your sister are equally self-righteous.”

“Idiot.”

Under Wen Churou’s incredibly shocked gaze, Zhang Buran gave her the middle finger.

Before leaving, Zhang Buran added another sentence:

“Out of good intentions, let me remind you, I see that your forehead is dark, and there’s a hint of bloody disaster. If you leave this villa today, there’s a high probability that you won’t survive.”

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

After saying that, Zhang Buran disappeared into the night like a ghost.

Wen Churou, gritting her teeth, clenched her fists: “Damn it! He dares to curse this Miss!”

“Zhang! Buran! If you have the guts, don’t ever come back!”

Wen Churou hysterically yelled into the silent night.

But for a long time, there was no response.

She didn’t hear Zhang Buran’s humble plea.

Did he really leave?

This waste was so strong-willed today?

Humph, gone and good riddance, who cares!

My elder sister will be happy.

Suddenly, Wen Churou remembered what Zhang Buran had said earlier.

“Humph, bloody disaster! He wants me to stay inside, then this Miss will go out today! My best friend is waiting for me!”

Wen Churou took out her mobile phone and called her best friend.

“Hey, Qingqing. Let’s go clubbing!”

…………

Zhang Buran suppressed the excitement of his returning magic, and came to a place without surveillance.

Because, it had been too long since he had experienced the feeling of walking on air!

Feeling the fullness of magical power within him, Zhang Buran couldn’t help but exclaim: “The feeling from three years ago!”

With a thought, Zhang Buran’s body floated into the air.

With his hands behind his back, Zhang Buran quickly flew towards the distance.

Feeling the night’s cold wind whistling past his ears, Zhang Buran’s mood was, arguably, the most comfortable it had been in three years!

Looking down, the high-rise buildings became extremely small, and the dazzling lights and intoxicating luxury of Magic City were in full view.

“I miss these days of going up to the heavens and into the earth…”

Zhang Buran felt extremely comfortable.

After getting rid of the Wen Family, Zhang Buran felt much more cheerful.

The return of his magic was his greatest confidence.

In today’s society, apart from swindling fake Daoists, truly skilled Daoists are an extremely scarce resource.

Because, in this world, ghosts truly exist.

Ghosts are condensations formed by the gathering of Yin Qi.

Ordinary humans cannot see ghosts.

Ghosts will attack humans.

Many paranormal events are caused by ghosts, such as children disappearing, perfectly healthy people suddenly going insane…

These paranormal events caused by ghosts are very troublesome and are not within the jurisdiction of ordinary people.

How to deal with such troublesome things as ghosts has become a difficult problem.

Thus, a profession specializing in eliminating evil ghosts—modern Daoists—came into being.

Modern Daoists are all supervised by the Daoist Arts Alliance, abbreviated as Daoist Alliance.

Each registered Daoist has an official position, and Zhang Buran is no exception.

The Daoist Arts Alliance is extremely mysterious. Daoists do not appear in public, only responsible for exorcising ghosts behind the scenes.

Only a few ordinary people know of the existence of the Daoist Alliance and ghosts and monsters.

Therefore, what modern people consider “ghosts” mostly become the superstitious beliefs of the elderly, or stories adults tell to scare children.

Aside from Daoists, over 90% of ordinary people do not believe that ghosts truly exist in the world.

“Hmm, Yin Qi?”

Zhang Buran, flying in the air, suddenly sensed a trace of Yin Qi.

Zhang Buran had been an ordinary person without magic for too long, and it had been a long time since he had detected Yin Qi.

Now that his magic had returned, Zhang Buran’s senses were extremely sharp.

As long as there was a trace of strong Yin Qi within a few kilometers, he could immediately perceive it.

Ghosts emit a unique Yin Qi.

The stronger the Yin Qi, the stronger the ghost.

The generation of Yin Qi usually comes from the ghost’s obsession. The deeper the obsession, the stronger the resentment, and the stronger the Yin Qi generated.

Negative emotions are everywhere, and ghosts are everywhere.

But such strong Yin Qi, this is definitely a powerful ghost unlike an ordinary little ghost!

But Zhang Buran inexplicably felt a hint of excitement!

It’s been a long time since he’s tormented evil ghosts!

Let’s have some fun today!

Immediately, Zhang Buran flew towards the source of the Yin Qi.

The place where the Yin Qi emanated was inside a luxurious mansion.

“This Yin Qi… it’s at least a Ghost General-level ghost.”

“Let’s take it to the Daoist Alliance and get some money, otherwise I won’t have any money to spend…”

Saying that, Zhang Buran flew down from the sky onto the wide lawn of the mansion.

All these years, Zhang Buran had been living a dependent life.

Now that he left, he did so freely, but he didn’t even have 100 yuan on him.

Daoists can catch ghosts for money.

And depending on the level of the ghost, the price of the bounty is different.

The higher the level and the harder the ghost is to catch, the more money you can get.

Zhang Buran hadn’t stretched his muscles in a long time either.

Just taking this opportunity of his magic returning to catch a ghost and get some money to spend.

What was strange to Zhang Buran was.

In this large mansion, as far as the eye could see, there wasn’t a single person in sight.

Zhang Buran followed the source of the strong Yin Qi and flew over…
