My wife is an invincible female ghost.

Chapter 26 She's Not Scary

If Lin Tang is unwilling to do something, no one can force her to do it unless she dies.

Of course, Feng Wan didn't mind forcibly taking the key from her—that was her original plan when she first said she was going to find the Lin sisters to get the key.

If she's willing, she's willing; if not, she'll turn them into keys.

They were just two girls from next door, and Feng Wan didn't really care about them that much.

But if Chu Shan goes to Lin Tang to get it himself... it's okay, he has Xu Qingyuan protecting him.

Furthermore, Chu Shan might not necessarily have such an extreme idea as "turning them into keys".

Therefore, if things don't go smoothly, he will inevitably suffer some difficulties at Lin Tang's hands.

"You don't really need to care about them so much," Feng Wan said. "If she doesn't give you the key, just come to me or Xu Qingyuan."

Robbery.

Chu Shan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Lin Tang was the name of his other younger sister.

"How can I find you?" he asked.

He didn't want to be separated from Feng Wan so soon, so he had to apologize to Xu Qingyuan.

Let her eavesdrop; he'll try his best to ignore it.

Feng Wan didn't seem to mind that there was actually someone hiding over there.

Feng Wan said, "I've always been here."

"I have a wisp of my consciousness attached to the hairpin. You can call my name. But I might not be able to get there in time; something's come up at home."

Chu Shan's focus in the conversation was not actually on the key.

He cared about Feng Wan, and he also cared about his family. So he went along with what Feng Wan had to say and continued the conversation with her.

"What is it? Is it something as important as cooking again?" he joked with a smile.

"No," Feng Wan said, her eyes wide. "Your mother is here; she's sleeping next to me now."

"Huh?" Chu Shan was truly stunned this time.

The arrival of their mother was somewhat unexpected for Chu Shan and Feng Wan.

But it's actually quite normal.

For example, his second uncle was a gossip and mentioned it to Chu Shan's parents while working in the fields.

"Oh, I saw your son a couple of days ago."

I don't know what happened to him, but he came back and sat there all afternoon without eating, and then went back to the city.

Then Mom got worried, wondering why Chu Shan had come back all of a sudden and left without even eating.

Why is he coming back when it's neither a holiday nor a festival? He didn't even say what the reason was.

So he called Chu Shan—he was in the instance, so his phone must have no signal.

Then he called Feng Wan again.

It's common knowledge that she's lucky if she can even get through on the phone; for her, the phone is just a tool for saving money.

She always pays with cash when she goes out!

This ancient ghost wasn't very addicted to the internet, and she didn't look at her phone much.

Her most frequent way of communicating was actually by writing letters.

Of course, she has no one to contact now, so she has gradually forgotten even the habit of writing letters.

Since she couldn't get through to either of them on the phone, Mom naturally became even more anxious.

Fearing that something might have happened to Chu Shan outside, he shook his father and hurriedly took the train over.

Fortunately, someone at home opened the door for them.

But when her mother saw that Feng Wan was no longer wearing earrings, she was worried for a while, afraid that they might need money for something, so she pawned the earrings.

Why is everyone so interested in those earrings?

They even handed Feng Wan a bankbook, containing the money they had saved over the years.

Sigh... I really need to put in some effort to connect these copies to the internet.

Chu Shan paused for a moment, then asked, "Did she come alone?"

"She came with her dad," Feng Wan said. "But I couldn't keep her dad; he said he had to go back to feed the chickens."

"I offered to open a hotel for them, but they disagreed. My dad insisted on going back."

Feng Wan said, "But I let Mom stay for a few days."

"I told her that you went to a remote mountainous area to provide supplies, and it's normal that the signal is bad and you can't get through on your phone. You'll be back in a few days. Then I asked her to stay, and I planned to take her out for a walk in town tomorrow and buy her a couple of outfits."

That's roughly how it is.

Feng Wan assured them repeatedly that nothing had happened to their family, and only then did the elderly couple feel relieved.

Especially Dad—

He criticized his mother with righteous indignation.

I told her it was nothing, but she made a big fuss and insisted on coming over.

The old man was stubborn and refused to eat dinner. He came for a quick look and then decided to go back.

Even Feng Wan seemed to have been verbally abused by him in a sarcastic tone.

"I've had dinner. What are the chickens eating now?"

Cluck cluck cluck cluck.

We also feed the pigs at home; if we don't feed them for a meal, they'll rebel. And then the pigs will run away.

So they bought tickets and took the train that very night.

Feng Wan: "...?" Who on earth angered Dad?

Chu Shan: "..."

He's still as stubborn as ever. Okay, let's put aside Dad's matter for now.

Chu Shan looked down at Feng Wan and reached out to brush a strand of her hair away.

I always felt that her eerie appearance made it particularly incongruous for her to talk about mundane family matters. She should be talking about cultivating immortality, slaying swords in the Nine Netherworlds, or the Void Cauldron containing the universe!

Did emperors all use golden hoes to till the land?

And then there were her claws—Chu Shan grabbed her hand, revealing very noticeable red nail polish on her five slender fingers.

It's also incredibly long!

"How many years has it been since you trimmed your claws?" Chu Shan asked.

That's terrifying. Getting pricked like that could be really bad.

Or if your nail flips over, that's also quite uncomfortable.

"..." What kind of female ghost stays at home all day cutting her nails?!

Feng Wan was furious but dared not speak out. She angrily pulled her hand away and said, "I'll cut it whenever I have a chance!"

"Okay," Chu Shan replied, amused.

He continued to look at Feng Wan, continuing to study his female ghost wife.

"And your hair..."

"It's natural, and if I went to the hair salon to dye it black, it might scare people."

Her hair was naturally white.

"...I said your hair looks good, I didn't tell you to dye it."

This is genuine.

It seems like all Chinese people have a bit of a white-haired fetish gene.

Chu Shan also had some.

"Oh." Feng Wan was a little shy. She looked up at Chu Shan again and asked, "What else do I look good about?"

Her eerie appearance was quite conspicuous from head to toe.

If you ignore her red fingernails, she doesn't look like a ghost, she looks like a god.

"Your eyes..."

"It's something cultivated later in life, so it can be considered a kind of technique."

Anyone who stares into her eyes for too long will fall under her spell if she uses her mental power to activate it.

But she has already changed.

She hasn't used those evil spells in a long time.

"Where's the flower between her eyebrows?" Was the flower decoration between her eyebrows something she dyed herself, or was it already there?

"You can touch it," Feng Wan said.

As it spoke, it obediently raised its head, as if waiting for its owner to pet it.

Chu Shan then placed his hand on it.

The moment he touched her, a ray of golden light emerged from the red mark between her eyebrows and traveled along Chu Shan's fingers into his body.

"What is this?" He stared wide-eyed.

"I give you my essence." Feng Wan pressed her head against his chest, closing her eyes to enjoy the warmth given by her husband.

She said affectionately, "That way, my life and death are in your hands, and you won't be afraid of me anymore."

She loves him.

She... is not scary.
