“What happened between you and your brother?” Little Red asked Shen Xianyue . Ming Shu glanced in the direction of the dining hall .

Shen Xianyue shook her head and didn’t reply to Little Red .
Pig trotters couldn’t be made on the spot . However, it was in the middle of the night . She called for food delivery and after looking at many restaurants, they finally found one .
Ming Shu gnawed on the pig trotters and asked casually, “How long have you been a spirit guide?”
“Five years . ”
Little Red was curious . “How old are you?”
“18 . ”
“You were only 13 then?” Little Red was surprised . “Hell is looking for child labor? So inhumane . ”
Ming Shu sneered, “Why would a bunch of ghosts be humane?”
Little Red: “…” That is true .
“The criteria for a spirit guide is very strict . Besides external factors, there are internal factors too . Shen Xianyue fit the criteria for a spirit guide and that was why she was chosen,” Ming Shu said indifferently .
It was not easy to find a spirit guide . Also, they had to be changed every ten years . Hence, Hell would never let anyone go if they found a suitable candidate . As long as you passed the test, they didn’t care if you were two or three years old . You would be placed in the position .
Little Red recommended herself excitedly . “Master, do you think that I can be a spirit guide?”
Ming Shu gave her a glance and smiled slightly . “You are too dead . ”
Little Red: “ . . ”
What does too dead mean?
“Spirit guides are chosen when they just died because they need to use their bodies in the human world . You’ve been dead for too long,” Shen Xianyue explained for Ming Shu .
“…” Little Red was not familiar with spirit guides . “Are you alive or dead now?”

“Alive,” Shen Xianyue said .
Spirit guiding was a job . There would be rewards for the job . To a human, the best reward is life .
“Oh . ”
Little Red looked at her and fell into deep thought . She floated into the living room and hung there .
Little Red’s mission was completed . Ming Shu needed to kill her .
Little Red cried and hugged Ming Shu’s leg . She screamed and shouted that she was forced and she didn’t want to be an evil ghost . She was innocent . She used to be a little ghost loved by everyone too and would even help old ladies cross the road as well as give money to beggars .
In the end, Little Red managed to fight for herself and earned herself a chance to live . She would continue to stay beside Ming Shu and run errands for her . She would only be killed when they went back to Hell .
Little Red thought that she would think of other ideas when she went back to Hell .
“Sister An Ge, Sister Little Red’s evil aura seems to be getting lesser . ” Su Tong did her homework while talking to Ming Shu .
“Really?” Ming Shu looked up at Little Red, who was playing with her own head .
Little Red… was not a bad ghost .
“Yup, when I saw her before, she was always gloomy . Recently, the gloominess started fading,” Su Tong said . “Sister An Ge, can evil ghosts become good again?”
“I don’t know . When are you going to make braised pig leg for me?” I am more concerned about this .
“Ah . ” Su Tong looked up from her homework and stared at Ming Shu . “My friend is celebrating her birthday today . My sister and I are going out to eat, so…”
Su Tong felt that Ming Shu’s smile was not friendly at all .
She said weakly, “Tomorrow will be the weekend . Bigsister should be going out and my parents will be going to work . I will make it for you . I promise . ”

Why must a ghost find her for food!
Ming Shu left and went to find Shen Xianyue for food .
Little Red held her head and looked at Su Tong with a dazed look .
“Sister Little Red, can you put your head back?” It looked really scary .
Little Red hugged her head and floated out of the window, ignoring Su Tong .
Su Tong: “…”
Knock knock!
Su Rou came in . She was wearing a white dress and she looked really pretty . She blinked at Su Tong and said with a gentle voice, “Little sister, let’s go . ”
Su Tong couldn’t help but compare the way Ming Shu and Su Rou talked . Ming Shu’s gentleness came from within . Her smile, her tone, and her actions made people feel comfortable . On the other hand, her sister…
Su Tong closed her homework . “Okay . ”
Sometimes, Sister An Ge is quite scary too . For example, just now .
Shen Xianyue still had work to do . Ming Shu was bored so she followed her after finishing her food .
Soon, they arrived at downtown . Shen Xianyue packed up a spirit and saw Ming Shu standing in front of a shop, unable to walk away .
She just wanted to buy it for her, but a man took action faster .
Ling Yan touched the thing and it immediately became edible for a ghost .
“Did you poison it?” Ming Shu didn’t take it immediately .
“You are a ghost now . Are you afraid that you will die from poisoning?”
“I am afraid that I will turn into dust . ”
The words “turn into dust” might have stimulated Ling Yan . For some reason, his face turned dark . “If I want to hurt you, I can just fight with you . I don’t need to use such unscrupulous methods . Are you eating it or not!”
Never go against food .
Ling Yan’s expression softened after he saw Ming Shu taking the food . However, the next second, the girl opposite him said clearly, “You can’t win over me either . ”
She was a spirit…
She suddenly got excited . Why not I find a chance to try and die?
Ling Yan sneered, “It is a miracle that you managed to live till now . ”
“Is it your miracle?”
Pa— The sound of cars honking almost covered Ming Shu’s voice .
Ling Yan didn’t hear what Ming Shu said . He only saw her tilting her head . Steam flowed up and her eyes grew faint .
There was something different .
“What did you say?”
“I said that you are an idiot . ” Ming Shu continued eating indifferently . She muttered, “The kind that looks like one from all angles . ”
“An Ge!”
Ming Shu squinted her eyes . “Are you angry? That’s good . It makes me happy . ”
If I can’t anger you to death, I lose .
Ling Yan: “…” Crazy!
When Shen Xianyue packed her last spirit, Ling Yan had left in a fit of anger . Ming Shu sat alone in the dark corner of the street .
Shen Xianyue stood opposite her . She looked at the young girl there .
From this distance, she couldn’t see her face clearly, but she knew that the young girl was smiling .
However, it was all darkness behind her . A helpless and dead darkness .
Occasionally, a car would drive past and its lights would shine over her . At that moment, the entire world seemed to lit up .
She would give an annual report in Hell every year . Over the past five years, she had seen her thrice . The young girl would always look at the ghosts indifferently without any emotion . The ghosts around her seemed to be used to her and wouldn’t talk to her if there wasn’t anything important .
But at that time, she didn’t feel such things from her . It was hard to explain .
Everyone has a past that they are unable to forget .
She must have one too .
Shen Xianyue took a deep breath and walked in front of Ming Shu . “Master, shall we go back?”
“Xu!” Ming Shu raised a finger at her . She smiled and looked in a direction . “Let’s watch a show for a while . ”
Shen Xianyue followed her gaze .
It was at the door of a KTV . Two small figures were coming out . The girl in a white dress held onto a girl wearing pants . The girl wearing pants seemed to be unconscious .
“Are they the Su sisters?” Ming Shu was staying at Su Tong’s place so Shen Xianyue knew them .
Su Rou hefted Su Tong onto a car and said something to the person inside . After that, she placed Su Tong in the back and she sat behind too .
The car started and went onto the road . Then, it disappeared .
