Chapter 121 Princess Anle (ETL) Part 2
===
Chapter 121 Gu Ye is a disastrous femme fatale
As Xie Cheng ran, he notified his teammates in the group chat.
The other masters were already prepared. As soon as Xie Cheng arrived, the group exchanged glances and immediately got into position. The instant the Jiāngshī princess ran towards them, a large net was thrown at her. Immediately afterwards, countless talismans were tossed into the air, which all flew towards her following the deathly aura emanating from the princess’s body. Upon contact with the princess’s corpse, crackling sounds and sparks flew everywhere.
7 blood-stained peach wood swords were thrust forward simultaneously. 7 young men chanted the same incantation, and as they chanted, the net tightened its grip. The Jiāngshī princess realized she had been tricked and let out a piercing scream. Her expression grew increasingly ferocious. As she struggled, the spiritual energy in the net became unstable. The others noticed and lashed out with several ropes inscribed with runes. Xie Cheng’s whip tightened around her neck, forcefully pulling her to the ground, shouting, “Gu Ye! Remove her corpse energy!”
Holding 2 talismans, Gu Ye walked to the Jiāngshī princess’s side. Looking into her venomous eyes, he coldly said, “You’re too dangerous. Go back to the museum and lie down.”
The princess’s skin gradually turned bluish, becoming unrecognizable of human features. At the same time, the ghostly aura surrounding her grew stronger. Just as Gu Ye affixed the talisman, a ghostly figure broke free from her body and pounced on Gu Ye.
Gu Ye made a hand seal and struck the princess’s head with a purple lightning ball. The ghostly figure screamed and rolled several meters away.
Freed from the shackles of her body, the princess finally regained her former appearance. Unfortunately, her face was now filled with ghostly energy, ruining her delicate features. She looked at Gu Ye greedily and said in a sinister tone, “You… are not human.”
“The hell, you’re the one not human!” Gu Ye said disdainfully, “Even if you can’t win over someone, you can’t curse/scold them like this. Where’s your manners?”
Several masters had already bound the corpse and removed the deathly energy, ensuring that even if the talismans were removed, the corpse wouldn’t move. But looking at the female ghost, they realized that she had transformed into a vengeful spirit. The crowd exclaimed in astonishment, “She hasn’t reincarnated all these years! What unresolved issues could have kept her so persistent for so long?”
“Whatever her obsession, as long as she harbors malice, I cannot let her stay.” Gu Ye took out a cinnabar brush from his pocket. Golden merit energy coiled around the tip of the brush. Gu Ye said calmly, “Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Go down and find your lover instead.”
“You’re not human! Your spiritual energy isn’t human!” the vengeful ghost screamed, its hoarse roar echoing as its ghostly aura vanished.
As the princess’s evil spirit disappeared, everyone looked at Gu Ye with complex expressions.
Gu Ye asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
After a long silence, a sigh escaped the crowd. “Sigh, so ruthless.”
“Yeah, she walked into our ambush just to chase him, and then died at his hands.”
“A beauty that brings disaster.”
“A femme fatale.”
“Poor princess.”
“No wonder she said he wasn’t human.”
Gu Ye took a deep breath and said furiously, “I’ll summon divine lightning to strike you idiots to death!”
…
At this moment, a car that Gu Ye recognized all too well pulled up on the main road outside the park. On the roof sat a boy of about 7 or 8 years old, clutching a longbow. On the boy’s shoulders sat a little girl dressed in Hanfu, holding a red bead that emitted a ghostly aura. The ghostly aura enveloped them and shielded them from some of the purple aura, which was harmful to them. They are none other than Ye Li and Ling Ling. And the driver was Yu Ze.
For the sake of family stability, Ling Ling told Yu Ze everything Gu Ye would be doing tonight. She even dragged her father(YZ) over to see her daddy(GY), fearing he(GY) might be taken by the ghost princess to be her royal husband. Ye Li had also been brought along by Ling Ling; if a fight broke out, her brother could intervene.
After dealing with the ghost princess, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and busied themselves with the remaining tasks. Gu Ye watched everyone work together and was about to help when he suddenly noticed the purple aura filling the road. His heart skipped a beat, and he nervously looked in that direction, suddenly realizing something was wrong. Logically, Yu Ze should be sleeping at home at this time; he was so busy during the day, how could he have time to come here to find him?
Many masters also noticed the purple aura emanating from that area; in all of China, only Yu Ze possessed such an aura. Seeing Gu Ye standing there dumbfounded, looking like a timid wife caught doing something wrong, all his colleagues felt sorry for him.
“He couldn’t have found out so quickly, could he? How did he find this place? Did he install a tracking system on you?”
Gu Ye was both amused and exasperated. “Xie Cheng, did you tell him? How could he have traveled halfway across the capital to get here?”
Xie Cheng shook his head innocently. “Could we have mistaken him for someone else?”
“Nonsense, you can’t find another one like him in the whole country. It’s definitely him.”
Xie Cheng patted Gu Ye’s shoulder sympathetically, encouraging him, “Don’t worry, I’ll explain for you later. I’ll just say you sacrificed your looks for the people.”
Gu Ye said helplessly, “Get lost. I didn’t do anything wrong to start with. You guys get busy, I’ll go check it out.”
Xie Cheng waved his hand, urging with a mischievous smile, “Go quickly.”
Gu Ye looked at Xie Cheng coldly, “Don’t be so smug. See if I don’t beat you up when I get back.”
Gu Ye jogged over and glanced at the roof of the car. With his lips twitching, Gu Ye opened the car door and got in. Gu Ye looked at Yu Ze’s calm face, “Darling, what brings you here?”
Yu Ze calmly said, “The kids said you cheated on me and urged me to come see you.”
Gu Ye’s breath hitched. “Who said that?” He glared at the roof of the car. “You two come out here and explain yourself. What does ‘cheating’ mean? Do you even understand the meaning of that word?”
The two children floated in through the car window, looking at Gu Ye earnestly. Ling Ling, in particular, looked a little aggrieved and on the verge of tears.
Gu Ye’s temper immediately diminished, and he quickly coaxed, “Daddy wasn’t talking about you.” Turning to look at Ye Li, Gu Ye can see his eldest son remained expressionless, his face as cold as a coffin lid, and his eyes full of disdain. Scolding him was pointless; he wouldn’t listen anyway. Gu Ye was helpless, looking at Yu Ze with a wry smile, “Here’s what happened; let me explain.”
Yu Ze said calmly, “No need to explain. I already know.”
“No, what they said is very different from the truth.”
At this moment, Xie Cheng, still worried, chased after them. He knocked on the glass and said to Yu Ze, “Brother Yu, don’t blame him. He was doing it for the people. That princess likes good-looking men, and Gu Ye has a handsome face, right? Everyone used him to lure the princess here. Don’t worry, the princess is dead. Nothing happened between them.”
Yu Ze looked at Gu Ye expressionlessly. “Is that so?”
Gu Ye was exasperated. “What a load of rubbish! It’s making things worse!”
Xie Cheng said earnestly, “Really, nothing happened. So, I’m leaving now.”
Gu Ye’s face turned cold; he strongly suspected Xie Cheng was doing it on purpose.
Xie Cheng took off running, running incredibly fast.
By now, Gu Ye has calmed down, but seeing Yu Ze’s seemingly indifferent expression only made him more nervous. Yu Ze rarely showed his emotions; when he had a stern face, it was truly difficult to discern his thoughts. Gu Ye pounced over, feeling wronged, and hugged Yu Ze’s neck. “You have to believe me.”
Yu Ze pressed his face against Gu Ye’s ear and whispered, “I’ll listen to your explanation when we get home.”
Hearing that, Gu Ye finally smiled, “I’ll tell them that I’m leaving, and I won’t interfere with the case after this.”
Gu Ye was taken home, and the rest was left to the police.
The next morning, the princess was taken to the museum by a dozen or so masters, while still in the state in which she rose from death. Upon seeing those sharp teeth, the museum staff dared not accept her.
“Won’t she rise from the dead at any moment? With all those talismans and chains on her body, we dare not exhibit her.”
The staff, who had previously disbelieved in the concept of corpse resurrection, were dumbfounded. After understanding the whole story, their worldviews were completely shattered, especially Li Xuan and Ding Xiaoxiao, who were terrified upon seeing the princess’s appearance, let alone attempting to study her.
Li Xuan braced himself and asked, “Are you all in Gu Ye’s line of work? What exactly is going on?”
Xie Cheng laughed, “You guys can try to explain it using scientific methods. We also don’t know anything either. We just learn whatever our master teaches us.”
The princess and Fu Yonggen’s bodies were quickly cremated. The police also had leads: the three wealthy men had all died of illness, so there was no curse involved. However, while the princess was at the third wealthy man’s house, Fu Yonggen had his eye on her mummified body and planned to steal it during the chaos. Unexpectedly, after the third wealthy man died, his son swiftly donated the mummified body to a museum out of fear without even holding a funeral.
The museum’s security was much tighter than the wealthy man’s home, leaving Fu Yonggen with no choice but to seek help from a friend of the security captain. Fu Yonggen deliberately staged an accident to rescue that friend. Then, during a conversation, they discovered they were from the same hometown, and Fu Yonggen asked the man to help find him a job, such as a security guard or something. The man contacted his friend at the museum, Lu Qiangjun, who introduced him to the job. Fu Yonggen then used his corpse-driving technique to take the princess away.
This Fu Yonggen was no good either; he had killed someone before for his evil arts, and his master’s death was also related to him. Because he learned things extremely slowly, everyone in his sect looked down on him. Coupled with his master’s actions, Fu Yonggen was ostracized by his sect, forcing him to betray them and work independently. He always wanted to refine a Jiāngshī to prove himself, but unexpectedly, it cost him his life.
The case of the princess walking out of the museum was solved just like that, and it was the first time so many masters had participated in a case. The case was solved rather comically: the princess was attracted to Gu Ye’s beauty, lured into an ambush, and everyone worked together to eliminate her.
Every time this was mentioned, it made everyone in the group laugh until they cried. It seems that being good-looking can be used like this! Then a bunch of clowns changed Gu Ye’s nickname in the group to: Master Gu Ye – Bewitched Grandma Jiāngshī – Beauty That Could Topple Kingdoms – Male Beauty and Disaster.
Gu Ye clutched his chest, feeling suffocated and unable to breathe. He still wanted to get rid of these idiots and go back to being a loner.
Seeing Gu Ye had rolled to the edge of the bed, Yu Ze reached out and pulled him back into his arms. Looking at the constantly scrolling chat history on Gu Ye’s phone, Yu Ze nipped Gu Ye’s reddened earlobe with displeasure. “Tell me, what are boyfriend fans?”
Gu Ye blushed. “You believe all that nonsense?”
“Heh!” Yu Ze scoffed indifferently. “Right now, not only are dead people trying to steal you from me, but men are trying to steal you away too.”
Gu Ye shoved his phone under his pillow, both amused and exasperated. “We agreed that you wouldn’t be jealous.”
Yu Ze pinched Gu Ye’s chin, asking seriously, “Shouldn’t you give me a title1?”
Hearing that, Gu Ye was stunned. His neck turning red as he stammered, “You… did you lie down and let me have my way with you? Else, what title do I give you?”
Yu Ze nodded. “Okay, I understand. I’ll give you one then2.”
“No!” Gu Ye suddenly realized what Yu Ze was trying to do after saying that3. “Darling, calm down!”
