Chang'e Does Not Fly to the Moon 6

"None of this is your fault, but why must you aid the villain? Isn't it time to bring everything to an end?"

Xu Si stroked the rabbit's ears as she spoke, her words striking the Jade Rabbit’s heart like heavy hammer blows.

A single tear fell as it stuttered, "I... I am finally free."

Gradually, smoke began to rise from the Jade Rabbit’s entire body. Seeing this, Xu Si whispered an incantation: "Halo of protection, let no ghost dare approach!"

She summoned the Black and White Impermanence to escort the Jade Rabbit and the Toad away. Although the dungeon was nearly cleared, a strange heaviness settled in her heart.

Only twenty minutes remained.

Xu Si glanced at her watch; she had to hurry back. Houyi was still waiting for her! She arrived back exactly as the clock struck the hour.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and take Houyi to be reincarnated!" Xu Si looked with disdain at the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guardians, who were clutching steamed buns.

Houyi began to struggle violently, attempting to break out of the room.

"Dammit, I’m about to clear this dungeon and you pull this stunt on me? Get your act together and get yourself to reincarnation! You pathetic wretch, go! Get! Reincarnated!"

Unable to endure it any longer, Xu Si lunged forward and gave him a sound beating, leaving the three ghosts standing by in stunned silence.

A "whoosh" echoed through the air. A man wearing an official's hat and a black scholar's robe appeared in sight. He stroked his mustache and pointed at Houyi.

"I, the Judge, sentence you to shovel manure in the eighteenth layer of hell!"

He turned to the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guardians, his mouth twisting into a smirk. "Remember to deposit those buns into my account."

With that, the man vanished, taking the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guardians with him.

Xu Si: "..."

[Congratulations! You have cleared the dungeon.
You have successfully obtained the dungeon item: Tear of Redemption.
Function: Throw at others to force them into uncontrollable weeping.
Duration: Three minutes.]

A mechanical voice flashed by, and she returned to reality. A prop card appeared in her hand, and Seventeen Niang was pulled back into her card.

Xu Si felt a bit dazed. She walked aimlessly down the street, not knowing where to go.

"Greetings, esteemed VIP client of the Underworld. Please, follow me."

Suddenly, a car pulled up in front of Xu Si. A ghost floating in mid-air descended to the ground and opened the car door for her.

The car drove into a luxurious villa. Poverty limited Xu Si's imagination, purchasing power, willpower, executive ability, vitality, jumping ability, immunity, chocolate...

The exterior of the house was crafted entirely from black tiles, shimmering under the sunlight. In the backyard, a hot spring steamed constantly, surrounded by fields of black roses.

"Whoa... is this a free gift for me?"

"This is a villa custom-built for you by order of the Underworld platform. It only costs three hundred thousand steamed buns. Please swipe your card here!" The ghost said with a grin, holding out a POS terminal.

Xu Si: "???"

So, the Underworld was targeting her specifically to fleece her.

Still, it wasn't impossible. After all, she had nowhere else to go. What were a mere three hundred thousand steamed buns, anyway?

She opened the door, and the scent of roses rushed to meet her. All her contract cards reacted at once!

One, two, three, four ghosts emerged.

One human and four ghosts stood frozen, staring at each other. Xu Si raised a hand: "Hi?"

The ghosts: "..."

Xu Si pulled out a bag of steamed buns, and the ghosts exploded with excitement.

"Master, my name is Xiaoxian, I am..."

"Oh, my dear Master Highness, it is I, your Seventeen Niang, who has shared both joy and sorrow with you~"
