After a while o

f searching

, Li Mazi 

found 

something. Zhang Xuecheng, the commander of the Northeastern Army during the resistance war against the Japanese army – also Zhang Xueliang’s cousin – once redeemed a Japanese woman from the Great Eight 

Streets

. That woman was 

named

 Koasa Masako.  

This was the only useful clue we had 

learned 

until now. 

However, the names didn’t match. I searched the secret website for the name Masako. 

T

he moment I saw 

that her 

Chinese name was Bai Xiya, I was so 

excited

 that my hands 

shook

. 

It

 wa

s her! 

I hadn’t expected that the ghost in red was Japanese! 

It turned out that when she was living in the Eight Great 

Streets

, she only sold her talent

 and

 not her body. However, since she was

 incredibly 

beautiful, many young men in Beijing 

desired 

her. 

One day, General Zhang Xuecheng from the Northeaster

n Army went

 to Beijing. Both their hearts raced when they first saw each other. Zhang Xuecheng paid a lot of money to redeem her. 

Since the relationship between China and Japan was really tense and sensitive at that time, Koasa Masako changed her name to Bai Xiya before 

she

 married General Zhang Xuecheng. 

Unfortunately,

 the happy days didn’t last long. After the fall of the Northeastern Army, Zhang Xuecheng changed greatly. He bowed to the enemy

 and became 

a traitor. The Japanese army made him the General Commander of the traitor army, where he 

became

 the oppressor to people living in Northeastern areas. In the end, 

he

 had to repay for his sin. His 

cousin

, Zhang Xueliang, sent troops to kill him. 

To show her loyalty to her husband, Bai Xiya hung herself in front of his grave. 

The two of them had died bearing grudges. One 

took possession of

an

 otherworldly item

, while the other one

 reincarnated

 without ever forgetting

 her deceased husband. 

With

 great 

luck

, the couple had met again in this villa. 

After 

I got

 all of the information, I 

was no longer worried about

 this case. However, I pitied this couple. 

Zhang Xuecheng was an ambitious man. However, he 

was in

 his cousin

’s shadow all of his life.

 In the end, 

he changed, which made 

him walk down the wrong path. 

Everybody else cursed him for being a traitor. 

O

nly Bai Xiya understood him. 

As 

Senior Shu

 had told me, as long as I could

 get rid of the obsession the

 spirits had, they would vanish by themselves. 

Compared to Zhang Xueliang, it was easier to deal with Bai Xiya. Although she had 

strong

 resentful energy, it was about love.

As for

 Zhang Xuecheng, if Bai Xiya went to reincarnate, he would let everything go. 

In the worst case

, I could forcefully kill him. I had never 

felt

 mercy 

towards

 traitors

.

I had an idea. I asked Li Mazi to go to the flea market and get me two Northeastern Army uniforms. To 

feel

 assured, I even asked Yin Xinyue to tell us how to wrap Li Mazi in Zhang Xueliang’s style. 

Zhang Xuecheng had been under Zhang Xueliang’s 

shadow

 his whole 

life. In the end

, he 

even died in his hands

, so he 

had to

 be afraid of 

him

! 

I spent the entire afternoon in Xiao Li’s study room, 

drawing 

talismans. It wasn’t that I couldn’t draw the right patterns

;

 I

 just felt in the mood to draw

. 

Normally, it wasn’t bad 

if

 one of the ten talismans 

I drew

worked.

But

 after receiving 

Senior Shu

’s guidance, my state of mind improved. Today, my success rate was close to 20%! 

Li Mazi understood that 

drawing talismans

 was an energy-draining 

activity. 

He kept urging me to stop. “Hey brother, stop drawing. If you waste too much of your energy

now, you 

won’t

 be 

able to do anything

 tonight.” 

In the end, he snatched the remaining yellow papers from me

, which forced me to

stop

. I counted and found that I had drawn around ten successful talismans. I nodded, feeling satisfied.

It was

 around twilight, and I 

decided to take a

 nap. When Li Mazi woke me up, it was already late at night. I rubbed my eyes

 and looked

 at the bedroom 

on

 the second floor. The black mist at the door had grown thicker. 

I didn’t know why, but I suddenly remembered Xiao Li’s ancestor. Perhaps the black mis

t was there

 to prevent her from entering the room. 

Normal people couldn’t see the black mist, and spirits wouldn’t usually give warnings to living people. 

While t

hinking of this, I kept an eye on it. If I had a chance, I would break that mist and let Xiao Li’s ancestor g

o

 in

 to

 help us. 

At midnight, I asked Xiao Li to hide in the toilet and told her

 not to

 go out 

unless I

 call her. 

With her hidin

g

, Li Mazi and I 

didn’t need to worry about protecting her. 

It was also to prevent

the ghosts 

from bewitching

 us. 

Not long after Xiao L

i hid

 in the toilet, we heard 

Yuan Datou

’s voice from the second floor. “Xiya, you should go and reincarnate! You don’t need to keep missing me. I hope that you w

ill

have a good family

 in your next life

 and

g

et a good husband. Forget about me. I’m just a traitor.” 

“General,

please don’t talk like that. It

 was so

 hard for me to meet up with you again. I 

don’t want to

 leave you!” Bai Xiya sounded resolute. 

“Little 

B

rother Zhang, now is not the right time for us to g

o

 in there, right?” Even Li Mazi, a blunt and careless fell

ow

, looked touched

. H

ow could I not be moved? 

However, I didn’t have a

choice. It was 

a

 good time for us to take action. I took the lead and went straight upstairs. Li Mazi 

followed after

 me. 

This time, I didn’t hesitate

 and kicked

 the room open. Before the two ghosts in the room could react, I shouted, “Report

ing to the

 Young Warlord! Zhang Xuecheng has betray

ed

 our country

!

 He’

s

 a traitor for the Japanese

!

 He shames the Zhang family. How should we punish him?” 

While talking, I carefully gazed at 

Yuan Datou

. Instantly, his eyes turned bloodshot. He clenched his 

jaw and looked

 as if he wanted to tear me apart. 

My heart 

raced, but

 I had to pretend 

that I wasn’t scared. 

T

he moment 

Yuan Datou

 was about to burst, Li Mazi stepped in, wearing the uniform of Kuomintang with a cool coat

. He talked

 coldly

, 

“I have always treated you as my good brother

,

 hop

ing

 that you would bring glory to our Zhang family. I never expected that you 

would go

 so far. 

Sigh

! I, Zhang Xueliang, will exterminate this traitor to protect our country! No mercy!” 

I 

had to admit that

 Li Mazi’s domineering speech 

had

 the style of the Young Warlord.

I thought if we didn’t succeed this time,

 luck wasn’t on our side

. 

Luckily for us, after Li Mazi 

spoke

, 

Yuan Datou

’s face paled. He shook off Bai Xiya’s hand

 and prepared

 to flee. 

I 

had been

 waiting for this chance. 

T

he moment 

he

 started to run, I stormed forward

 and read 

the 

Big

 Dipper Sirius Spell

. I wielded 

my Sirius Whip

 and lashed at Yuan Datou

’s arm. 

Yuan Datou

 screeched

, and s

moke 

rose

 from his arm. 

H

e was scared

, and h

is 

courage

 was gone. He didn’t resist at all. He 

let go of

 Bai Xiya

 and ran out of

 the room. 

He must have thought that Li Mazi and I would chase after him.

 That was 

why he left Bai Xiya. 

Too

 bad 

that h

e was wrong

. Everything was going according to my plan

! 

After he left the room, I closed the door and 

stuck a 

few talismans 

on it

. After I confirmed that he couldn’t enter the room

,

 I turned to see Bai Xiya. 

I thought that she would roll her eyes

, 

bare her teeth, 

and take

 revenge on me and Li Mazi. However, she maintained her formal sitting posture on the bed. When she saw me, she gave me a deep bow, the most respectful greeting form 

in 

Japanese culture.

Then, she got off the bed

 and 

slowly 

walked

 toward us. 

I didn’t understand what she meant by 

her actions

. However, my mind told me that I shouldn’t be careless. She hadn’t taken action yet because she was afraid of us. 

Li Mazi had just performed beyond his normal capacity, but when he saw the ghost approaching 

us

, he was frightened

. He dumbly asked 

me, “What should we do now?” 

I cursed under my breath. 

Bai Xiya was surprised for a while. 

Then, she

 beamed evilly

. H

er beautiful

face turned into the appearance of a ghost that had hung herself. She reached her hands

 and tried to strangle 

Li Mazi. Her long fingernails sparkled in the cold light. 

“Why the 

heck are you standing

 idle there? Use the talismans!” I screamed

 and lashed 

the Sirius Whip at her shoulder. 

Bai Xiya’s shoulder sizzled,

 and 

black smoke 

rose from

 it. 

She screamed horribly

, and h

er hostile eyes 

gazed

 at me. She 

ignored

 Li Mazi

 and stormed 

toward me. 

My heart raced. I used 

all of my 

strength

 to lash 

the Sirius Whip at her. After each whip, she would 

screech

 in pain. However, she didn’t dodge, not even once

, and did her best to shorten

 the distance between us. 

I 

lashed the whip seven times, and after its power was exhausted, I reluctantly put it

 away

 and used 

the talismans to attack her.

Unfortunately, my cultivation wasn’t 

high

 enough. Even when I used the talismans, the ghost was 

merely

 slowed down. My talismans didn’t work well on her. 

I soon used all the talismans 

I had with me

. 

The ghost

 laughed crazily

 and grabbed 

my neck tightly. 

Li Mazi roared

. He stormed 

forward and 

grabbed

 Bai Xiao from behind

,

 crazily 

sticking

 the talismans on her body. 

Under our double attack

, she could no longer 

keep her 

calm. Her figure became translucent.  

I fell 

to

 the ground

 and

 seized the time 

to

look

 at the door. The black mist there was dispersing. I 

realized

 that the female ghost 

was the one behind 

that black mist. 

As soon as I 

understood

it

, I turned and screamed 

at

 Li Mazi

, 

“Don’t mind her! Attack the black mist!” 

I 

guessed 

that Xiao Li’s ancestor would come to help us. 

Before

, she didn’t dare to show up. But now, only Bai Xiya was here, and we had 

hurt

 her a lot. As such, it was likely that 

s

he 

w

ould appear. 

Li Mazi turned and ran toward the door. Unexpectedly, Bai Xiya 

stopped attacking me and turned 

around to 

chase after

 Li Mazi. 

She was flustered. 

My

 assumption was correct. I got up

, used 

all of my strength to grab her,

 and held 

her back

. I wanted to make 

more time for Li Mazi. 

Bai Xiya was completely frantic

. She roared and tried 

to shake me off. She 

shook

 me

 so much

 that my 

head

 went 

blank

. Instinctively, I let go of her. 

At this critical moment

, Li Mazi cried, “The black mist is gone!”
