Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 705 - 714: Chen Guifang’s Story (Part 1)

```

The woman who suddenly appeared cracked a smile, her eye sockets brimming with boundless murderous aura and chill, sending a cold shiver down everyone's spine.

Guihua, in particular, felt as though she was inside a freezer, her teeth chattering nonstop as if her sanity was on the verge of collapsing.

"Big... Big sister... this has nothing to do with me, please spare my life."

Guihua fell to her knees with a thump, realizing that this was indeed real, and it was right beside her, drooping shoulders and all.

Ye Ling, on the other hand, smiled lightly, patting Zhang Qian's shoulder, "What do you think, is this real or fake?"

Zhang Qian let out a small smile, her eyes rolling up as she fainted to the ground, frightened unconscious by the woman.

"You... You've been pretending to be me these past few days, haven't you? Now that I'm here, you might as well come with me."

The ghost in white laughed grimly, and Old Wang kneeling beside her thumped to the ground, throwing away his dagger, "Mommy, save me, big sister, this has nothing to do with me."

"You? Heh, you're quite the accomplished executioner, aren't you? Tell me, how much blood has your knife been tainted with?"

Hearing Old Wang's words, the ghost in white let out an even more spine-chilling laugh, while Old Wang's eyes rolled back in his head, and he collapsed to the ground.

The burly man beside Old Wang turned around to look at the ghost with a fierce smile, his scalp tingling, and he too fell down.

Well, in the blink of an eye, three had fainted from fear, leaving only the ghost, Ye Ling, and Guihua, who was nearly following in Zhang Qian's footsteps.

"So, shall I take you away first then?"

The ghost laughed coldly and viciously slammed her hand down towards Guihua's head, causing Guihua's eyelids to flip as she collapsed to the ground, wetting her pants.

"Alright, that's enough," Ye Ling walked forward and waved his hand. The female ghost stopped and smiled upon seeing that Ye Ling wasn't scared of her, "Heh, it seems there really are people who aren't afraid of ghosts."

"Do you know how much blood they have on their hands? Under the guise of my name, they scare people unconscious, then escape through a blind spot in the surveillance, only to remove their organs in a secluded place and flee after throwing them on the ground?"

"Such people are scum and deserve to die. If you won't let me kill them, are you the same as them?"

Ye Ling chuckled, tut-tutting. This ghost seemed to be one with a conscience, but just as there are good and bad people, there are also good and bad ghosts.

"I'm stopping you from killing them for the happiness of more people, for the safety of more families."

"As for them, they are bound to die sooner or later and will eventually compensate for your tarnished reputation, don't you think?"

Ye Ling said with a faint smile and then walked over to the side of the ghost, sniffing, "Smelling your death Qi, it's not that strong; you must have only been dead for about a year."

The ghost looked stunned, and a sliver of chilly light flashed through her emotionless eyes, "It seems you are quite knowledgeable, sir. Yes, today marks the first anniversary of my death."

"Then why haven't you reincarnated? Why are you staying here instead?"

Ye Ling slowly said, not having expected that there really was a female ghost commemorating her first anniversary today – it appeared the workers had spoken the truth.

"I also want to be reincarnated, but I have unresolved issues and grievance suffocating in my heart. Even the Underworld Soldiers couldn't take me away, so I have stayed here."

The female ghost spoke slowly. Ye Ling glanced at her, and the ghost waved her hand: "I know what you want to say. I might as well tell you everything anyway. It's not something shameful."

This female ghost was originally named Chen Guifang, from a poor family in the surrounding mountain villages. Her husband had passed away early, leaving her alone with a son and her in-laws.

Both elderly people were in poor health and relied on medication. Therefore, Chen Guifang had to go out and work.

Luckily, she found work at the Huamei Factory, where the treatment and everything else were good. By working some overtime each month, her salary was decent enough to at least provide for her family.

Just when Chen Guifang thought this happy life would continue, she received a sudden call from home: There was a problem with her son.

Her son, as a left-behind child, lacked proper discipline from his grandparents, leading to issues such as theft and fighting.

The school had already issued several warnings. One more incident would lead to expulsion, which left Chen Guifang in desperation, yet powerless to do anything.

Chen Guifang thought about bringing her child to her side, so she went around looking for schools for him. She indeed found one, but there was a condition.

The principal's requirement was that Chen Guifang become his mistress. Then, he would spare no effort in supporting her son in everything.

At the beginning, Chen Guifang did not agree. After all, even though her husband had died, she was still considered his wife. No matter what, she did not accept the proposal.

Unfortunately, her son let her down, fighting with classmates and stealing money from a teacher. The result, needless to say, was direct expulsion—meaning he was out of school.

At that point, Chen Guifang figured, let it be, no point in caring anymore. After all, she was a normal woman and it was a time when she had needs.

So, she approached the principal, and it was like dry tinder meeting a blazing fire; they were quickly involved. Just like that, her son's education problem was naturally resolved.

But the good times did not last long. Their affair was discovered by the principal's wife, who made a scene in the factory. This made it impossible for Chen Guifang to step outside without people gossiping behind her back.

Therefore, Chen Guifang confronted the principal, demanding that he keep his word and take better care of her child. The bare minimum of care was essential, or else she would not let him off even as a ghost.

Then Chen Guifang leaped from her dormitory building, falling to her death on the spot.

Due to her concern for her son, Chen Guifang's spirit lingered on, often seen around the factory. Some people, with malicious intent and due to their viewpoints on infidelity, spun other tales about her.

After listening to her story, Ye Ling nodded. This was all about life; life forces people to take certain steps out of desperation.

"Do you think I'm a loose woman?"

Chen Guifang gave a wretched smile, but Ye Ling shook his head: "No, why would you be loose? Your man is already dead, and you've already been exemplary in your fidelity."

"Perhaps the only thing you shouldn't have done was to get involved with a married man, but then again, you did it for your child."

"I can say that you are a great mother, but I cannot say you are a great woman. I'm truly sorry, but I think you should understand."

Ye Ling said with a smile, and Chen Guifang was overwhelmed with emotion, bowing deeply to Ye Ling in thanks.
