Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1323 - 1323 1282 Ghosts in Ji Weiwei's Home

1323: Chapter 1282: Ghosts in Ji Weiwei’s Home 1323: Chapter 1282: Ghosts in Ji Weiwei’s Home Lu Chuan was a little puzzled.

“Afraid of what?”

Ji Weiwei said, “My house is haunted.

Just now, the lights in my room kept flickering.

I even saw ghostly shadows floating past my eyes.

The room has turned much more eerie.

The tables and chairs move on their own from time to time.

It’s truly terrifying.”

Could it be someone playing a prank at your house?

Lu Chuan’s first thought was this.

He was about to tell Ji Weiwei to check if someone had snuck into her house.

After all, Pan Rongguang might seek revenge on Ji Weiwei after being fired last time.

This could very well be his doing.

But just then, Tang Yurou suddenly pushed open Lu Chuan’s room door.

For some reason, this young woman had changed into a rather revealing nightgown today, applied light makeup, and had a shy expression on her face.

Lu Chuan saw through her intentions in a glance.

Which decent girl applies makeup before going to bed?

Clearly, she came here with a purpose.

So he agreed to Ji Weiwei without hesitation.

“Alright, you stay at home and wait for me.

I’ll be right over.”

Going to Ji Weiwei’s place was definitely better than being harassed by this love-struck girl.

He was a man, and his body worked on instinct.

What’s more, his body was infused with dragon’s yang power.

Even if he tried to restrain himself, he couldn’t possibly fend off Tang Yurou persistently clinging to him.

If this happened one too many times, he couldn’t guarantee that a mistake wouldn’t occur.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chuan stood up and looked at Tang Yurou.

“What are you doing?”

Tang Yurou said coyly, “I’m here to sleep, Cousin.

Don’t worry, I just don’t feel comfortable sleeping alone.

That’s why I came to your room.

I promise I won’t have any inappropriate thoughts.

We’ll sleep honestly, that’s all.”

Lu Chuan replied bluntly, “Sorry, I need to go out for a bit.

You sleep here; feel free to use my room, no need to be polite.”

After saying this, he walked out.

Tang Yurou widened her eyes.

“You’re going out in the middle of the night?”

“To a friend’s house,” Lu Chuan said, brushing past Tang Yurou.

“What kind of friend stays up late at night, and why aren’t they sleeping?!” Tang Yurou asked, sounding flustered.

If Lu Chuan went to a friend’s house, then her efforts with the makeup tonight would all be in vain.

“It’s important.” Lu Chuan didn’t elaborate.

Tang Yurou asked again, “Will you be back tonight?”

“No,” Lu Chuan answered without hesitation.

With a lustful little kitten like you waiting to take advantage, why would I come back?

Just to get eaten alive?

If needed, I’ll deal with Ji Weiwei’s troubles tonight and find somewhere else to spend the night.

Not giving Tang Yurou another chance to speak, he walked quickly out of the courtyard.

Tang Yurou angrily stomped her feet.

This bastard!

He would rather help a friend than share a bed with me!

Wait!

He didn’t even say if that friend was male or female!

If it’s a female friend, and he doesn’t return tonight, then wouldn’t something happen between them?

This damn cousin—not willing to sleep with me but willing to sleep at a friend’s.

Am I somehow not good enough for him?!

Tang Yurou fumed.

She couldn’t understand what was wrong—why her cousin didn’t see her in that way.

Her glance fell to her chest.

Though her nightgown was seductive, something around the chest area still felt lacking.

In that moment, she instantly knew what her problem was.

She had no cleavage.

Turns out, her cousin was just a big lecher who liked such unnecessary things.

Humph!

It’s not like I’ve fully grown yet.

One day, I’ll have the same figure as those flashy women!

“Looks like I need to figure out how to make myself stand out more…” Tang Yurou muttered, her mind racing with plans to improve herself.

…

After leaving the Tang family’s place, Lu Chuan hailed a cab and headed to Ji Weiwei’s old courtyard.

When he arrived at Ji Weiwei’s home, Lu Chuan immediately sensed there was something off about the house.

Due to the demolition project, the surrounding houses had all been removed, leaving Ji Weiwei’s old residence standing alone, looking quite desolate.

The nearby construction elements hadn’t officially begun, so the entire area was shrouded in darkness except for Ji Weiwei’s lit house, which amplified its eerie atmosphere.

Lu Chuan released his Divine Sense to examine the old house.

Within it, apart from Ji Weiwei, there were no other people.

He could essentially rule out the possibility of someone pranking her.

Lu Chuan approached the front door of the residence and knocked.

“Who’s there?” Ji Weiwei’s cautious voice sounded.

“It’s me, Lu Chuan,” he replied.

Soon, the sound of the latch undone rang out; Ji Weiwei quickly came out.

Her face was pale, and fear lingered in her eyes.

She truly seemed terrified.

“Big Brother Lu Chuan, I’m so glad you came.

I don’t dare stay here anymore, but I don’t have anywhere else to go or any other friends to turn to, so I had to call you,” Ji Weiwei said tearfully.

She considered hugging Lu Chuan for comfort but restrained herself since they hadn’t known each other for long.

Lu Chuan nodded to her.

“It’s fine.

Since I’ve got nothing else to do, I might as well come take a look.”

“Let’s head in and figure out what’s going on in your house.”

With that, Lu Chuan stepped inside, Ji Weiwei hurriedly following behind.

Inside the room, Lu Chuan noticed photographs on the wall featuring Ji Weiwei with her grandparents, all smiling happily together.

The loving expression on her grandparents’ faces toward Ji Weiwei made it clear why she wasn’t willing to part with this old residence.

It must carry countless memories of her time with her grandparents.

Lu Chuan then scanned the room and asked, “Where in this house have hauntings occurred?”

Ji Weiwei quickly pointed to the living room light.

“This light—it kept flickering earlier.

Then there’s the table and chairs over there; they move without reason.

The worst part is I saw shadows of ghosts in my room.

It’s terrifying.”

Just as she finished speaking, the lights in the room began flickering again, accompanied by an unsettling sound of electricity.

The tables and chairs started moving once more, producing creaky, eerie noises.

Terrified, Ji Weiwei hid behind Lu Chuan.

“See…

it’s happening again!”

Lu Chuan remained calm.

He could sense the presence of Yin Soul energy within the room, but to him, it was incredibly weak.

“Seems like some petty ghost is causing a stir,” Lu Chuan concluded about the situation in Ji Weiwei’s house.

As the lights continued to flicker, Lu Chuan saw a shadowy ghostly figure.

The scene felt like something from a horror film.

Ji Weiwei shook as fear overwhelmed her.

She clung to Lu Chuan’s shirt, completely oblivious to propriety in her panic.

Lu Chuan snorted coldly.

He formed a hand seal, and his eyes turned dark gold.

An imposing aura filled the room.

He intended to uncover the identity of the little ghost causing havoc here.

“Reveal yourself at once!”

At his command, the sight in front of him shifted.

He immediately saw the Yin Souls within the room.

To his surprise, there were two Yin Souls.

But as Lu Chuan got a clear look at them, he froze.

The two Yin Souls were none other than Ji Weiwei’s grandparents.

Unable to believe what he was seeing, he stared at the scene in disbelief.

Weren’t Ji Weiwei’s grandparents devoted to her?

Why were they playing ghostly tricks to frighten her?

Ji Weiwei’s grandparents’ Yin Souls hadn’t anticipated that Lu Chuan was a cultivator.

The pressure emanating from his Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil left them trembling in fear.

“Mercy, sir, mercy!

We meant no offense.

Please forgive us and spare us!” Ji Weiwei’s grandfather’s Yin Soul pleaded in terror.

The scene unfolding before her was something Ji Weiwei couldn’t see.

Clutching Lu Chuan’s shirt tightly, she kept her eyes shut in sheer dread.

Lu Chuan looked at Ji Weiwei’s grandparents and transmitted a message.

“Isn’t Ji Weiwei your granddaughter?

Why are you doing such things to scare her?”

When Ji Weiwei’s grandparents noticed that Lu Chuan wasn’t obliterating them outright, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Ji Weiwei’s grandmother asked, “Young man, are you a friend of our Weiwei?”

Lu Chuan nodded.

“Yes.”

Ji Weiwei’s grandmother sighed.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll explain everything to you clearly—why we’re haunting this house even though we’ve passed away.”

Then, she began to tell their story.

Lu Chuan listened attentively and finally understood what was happening.

It turned out Ji Weiwei’s grandparents weren’t scaring her out of malice—quite the opposite, it was for her benefit.

Their haunting was their attempt to push her toward agreeing to have the old residence demolished.

The love they had for Ji Weiwei was unquestionable.

If it weren’t for their affection, they wouldn’t have stayed behind as wandering souls.

When they saw Ji Weiwei fighting against Pan Rongguang to protect the house, they were deeply moved.

However, they also wished Ji Weiwei would agree to the demolition, take the substantial compensation, and receive multiple new homes, avoiding the tough life she had before.

They hadn’t expected Ji Weiwei would eventually triumph over Pan Rongguang and gain the Tang Family Patriarch’s approval to keep the old house intact.

If Ji Weiwei’s actions were simply to hold on to memories of them, they felt it was unnecessary.

After all, their love for Ji Weiwei wouldn’t change.

What mattered most was her living a good life.

They feared that if she clung to the past, they would only feel guilty.

So to make her relent and demolish the house, they resorted to pretending to be ghosts, scaring her into not wanting to stay any longer, which would naturally lead her to agree to the demolition.

But their plan hadn’t succeeded before encountering someone as powerful and intimidating as Lu Chuan.

At that point, the old couple had feared they’d soon be obliterated entirely.
