Villainous Malevolent Ghost (11)
Song Xuyi’s school.
Song Xuyi was drowsily tidying up her luggage, and she didn’t know why, but she always felt like she hadn’t rested well after midnight, as if a rope was tied around her body, making it hard to breathe.
She originally wanted to catch up on sleep on the plane, but after sitting in her seat, Song Xuyi’s mind was devoid of any sleepiness, constantly thinking about the search results regarding Bai Yu from the previous night.
After a night of reflection, Song Xuyi emerged from the state of anger she felt the previous night. She didn’t understand why she had reacted that way; perhaps Bai Yu’s memory had deeply unsettled her, causing her to subconsciously obsess over avenging Bai Yu.
But what if the murderer was found? That murderer had largely already turned into a pile of white bones…
Only if Bai Yu lives better, even better than before, can it be the greatest revenge against the murderer.
Thinking of this, Song Xuyi once again began to contemplate future plans.
She had always been somewhat confused, unclear about what exactly ghosts and evil spirits are in this world. Clearly, it is not only Song Xuyi who has pondered this question; the physics academic community in this world has specialized fields studying the relationship between evil spirits and energy. Song Xuyi decided to continue the original owner’s wish to apply for graduate school, with the idea of pursuing this kind of subject.
Having experienced several dangers and seen Bai Yu’s appearance at the time of death, Song Xuyi is more determined to pursue related research: not only because she is interested in this field, but also because she wants to be able to help Bai Yu in times of trouble, rather than always waiting for Bai Yu to come to the rescue.
To research this area, one must prepare the relevant professional foundation. Song Xuyi decided to read professional books while self-studying some talisman spells. On one hand, she can learn some self-protection methods; on the other hand, it will also help her better prepare for February’s retake exam.
Thinking of this, Song Xuyi immediately found an APP specialized in teaching metaphysics for beginners, paid the registration fee, and started following the tutorial to learn.
The online class teacher assigned
Song Xuyi looked at the cover with the words “Spell Founder: Bai Yu,” thinking that Bai Yu herself lived inside the bead on her wrist. Learning beginner’s metaphysics in front of her was like wielding a big knife in front of Guan Gong, making Song Xuyi feel inexplicably embarrassed. While learning the spells, she didn’t dare to say them out loud, only silently reciting in her heart: “Heaven and earth are mysterious yellows, the universe is vast…”
Soon the plane arrived at the destination.
Song Xuyi did not first return to school but went to the apartment her family bought for her near the school.
At the time when the first year of university started, Father Song and Mother Song were afraid that Song Xuyi would not be accustomed to university dormitory life, so they bought an apartment for Song Xuyi not far from the school. However, Song Xuyi got along very well with her dormitory classmates, so the apartment remained vacant, and Song Xuyi very rarely visited it, at most once or twice a month.
The apartment is regularly cleaned by an aunt, and the inside of the house is extremely clean. Even though she knows Bai Yu is not afraid of sunlight, Song Xuyi still drew all the curtains before gently calling Bai Yu out: “Bai Yu, are you there?”
A familiar figure slowly appeared in the air.
Bai Yu lightly tapped her toes, gently floated down, and stood in front of Song Xuyi.
Inexplicably, Song Xuyi suddenly felt somewhat nervous.
Bai Yu was still dressed in white, appearing as exceptionally beautiful and ethereal as ever, but Song Xuyi always felt that Bai Yu seemed to have undergone some changes—her body seemed to generate a strange magnetic field, mysterious and dangerous, causing people’s hearts to tingle, involuntarily drawing their gaze to her.
Is it because she has seen through life and death? Has her entire temperament changed because of it?
Song Xuyi didn’t know why, but looking at Bai Yu’s appearance, she inexplicably felt a bit dazed.
“Xuyi, what are you thinking about?”
It wasn’t until she heard Bai Yu’s slightly confused question that Song Xuyi awoke as if from a dream. Seeing Bai Yu’s beautiful face close to her cheek, Song Xuyi’s heart suddenly trembled, and she swallowed, pretending nothing had happened and casually changed the topic: “Immortal Master Bai Yu, what do you think of this house?”
Bai Yu’s gaze swept over the room and finally returned to rest on Song Xuyi, her lips curving slightly, her voice slightly hoarse: “Xuyi’s house is, naturally, very good.”
Song Xuyi didn’t know what was happening to her, as her gaze involuntarily fell again on Bai Yu’s red lips. She always felt that Bai Yu’s lips looked extremely red, vibrant, and moist, making her recall the soft touch of Bai Yu’s lips during previous contact, almost not hearing clearly what Bai Yu was saying.

Today’s Bai Yu looked really very alluring!
But Song Xuyi quickly came back to her senses.
She shook her head, trying to shake off the sudden strange feeling in her heart, took a deep breath, and dared not look at Bai Yu’s extraordinarily beautiful face that made her heart chaotic. She lowered her head and spoke about her arrangements for Bai Yu: “Immortal Master, I said I would help you adapt to modern society. This house has a computer. I will first teach you to recognize modern appliances, and then teach you how to use the computer and phone. With these two things, if there’s anything you don’t understand later, you can search for it yourself…”
As she spoke, Song Xuyi turned around with a chaotic mind and walked several steps before realizing that Bai Yu hadn’t followed. She turned her head to look at Bai Yu, who slowly walked to Song Xuyi’s side and, with a full smile, held Song Xuyi’s arm—
Song Xuyi had always known that Bai Yu’s smile was extremely beautiful, but today’s smile was different from usual: if Bai Yu previously seemed like a goddess fairy inspiring respect and love, now she was like a witch fallen into the mortal realm, manipulating people’s minds with every frown and smile.
Song Xuyi’s heart once again uncontrollably began to ‘thump’ with excitement.
“Xuyi, after dying once and luckily awakening in modern times, I’ve realized some things,” Bai Yu gently sighed, seemingly unaware of Song Xuyi’s wide-eyed gaze, and slightly lowered her eyes.
Originally, Song Xuyi felt extremely awkward because of their intimate posture, but upon hearing these words, she subconsciously ignored the awkwardness in her heart and seriously lifted her head to listen to Bai Yu’s words.
“I thought all night last night; the things that should have been done in life are already done. I have decided to live for myself in the future, joyfully pursuing the people and things I want.”
Bai Yu seemed to have made up her mind, raising her head once more, looking at Song Xuyi with eyes containing a few obvious pleas, appearing extremely pitiful: “Xuyi, you are my only friend in this world, you will help me, won’t you?”
Song Xuyi did not catch the deeper meaning in Bai Yu’s words; she was worrying about how to comfort Bai Yu and did not expect Bai Yu to figure it out on her own. Seeing Bai Yu’s expectant gaze, Song Xuyi’s heart immediately surged with a heroic feeling, nodding repeatedly as if pounding garlic: “Of course, I will certainly help you!”
Seeing Xuyi fall once again into the villain’s routine, the system in her mind couldn’t bear to watch any longer and, unable to voice a reminder, simply blocked out the outside scene in anger, out of sight, out of mind.
However, Song Xuyi was entirely too preoccupied to care about the system’s movements.
It seemed that because of Song Xuyi’s words, Bai Yu felt extremely joyful, and the corners of her lips curled up once more, causing the tingling sensation in Song Xuyi’s heart, as if electrified, to emerge again.
However, because she had just promised Bai Yu, Song Xuyi feared that if she lowered her head now, it might cause Bai Yu to overthink, so she could only grit her teeth and maintain a slightly raised head to look at Bai Yu.
Obviously, Song Xuyi had overestimated her patience, as Bai Yu’s beautiful face looked truly enchanting up close. Waves of heat surged, and despite her efforts to control it, Song Xuyi couldn’t help but blush, her mind spinning with dizziness…
“As a friend, using honorifics is too distant. In the future, Xuyi, just call me ‘Bai Yu’!”
“Xuyi? Are you feeling unwell?”
Looking at Song Xuyi, whose cheeks were pink with an obvious blush, a trace of darkness flashed in Bai Yu’s eyes, yet she raised her eyebrows and reached out to touch Song Xuyi’s cheek—
Perhaps because of their symbiotic relationship, Bai Yu’s hand should have been cold, yet at this moment when touched by Bai Yu, facing Bai Yu’s eyes filled with hidden concern, Song Xuyi only felt as if an electric current passed through her cheek, causing her to shiver and her legs to inexplicably weaken.
Song Xuyi originally intended to avoid Bai Yu’s hand, yet somehow she did not move, and in that instant, a secret and shameful thought flashed through her mind: she wanted to lean on Bai Yu—
Realizing what she had thought, Song Xuyi felt entirely unwell and widened her eyes in disbelief: how could she suddenly become like this?!
She couldn’t let this continue!
“I’m… not sick, I, I’m just too happy!” Even though she had met Bai Yu several times before and indeed admired Bai Yu’s beauty, she had never lost her composure like this before. Song Xuyi shamefully lowered her head to calm her uncontrollable heartbeat, only realizing after speaking that her voice had become both delicate and soft. Her heart was again filled with shame, almost bringing her to tears—
“I’m also very happy.”
“I see in your school that friends with close relationships hold hands like this, and I’ve always wanted to hold Xuyi’s hand. I didn’t expect my wish to come true today.” Bai Yu smiled at Song Xuyi, her tone somewhat joyful, completely blocking any excuse Song Xuyi might have had about letting go because it was too hot.
Song Xuyi forced out a smile, but inside she felt so ashamed she wanted to cry.
Perhaps Bai Yu did not perceive Song Xuyi’s awkwardness, or perhaps she had already noticed it and considerately glossed over the matter with a single sentence. Bai Yu did not look at Song Xuyi anymore afterward; she held Song Xuyi’s hand as they looked around the house, inquiring about the uses and principles of various appliances. Song Xuyi, observing Bai Yu’s childlike curiosity about everything, felt increasingly ashamed and explained everything with increasing care.

After getting accustomed to being held by Bai Yu, the heat on Song Xuyi’s face finally dissipated.
Song Xuyi introduced the uses of the TV, electric lights, range hood, and air conditioner in the living room, then took Bai Yu to the bathroom and explained the usage of the heater and bathtub. Just as she was about to take Bai Yu to the kitchen, she saw Bai Yu looking at the bathtub and seemingly embarrassedly glancing at Song Xuyi: “Xuyi, can I try this?”
As if finding it difficult to voice this request, Bai Yu slightly bit her lower lip and, as if remembering something, shyly curved her lips: “I want to understand the method of bathing. When I was in your dormitory, I heard you… singing during your bath. Although the singing was off-key, it filled my heart with joy, and I want to try it too…”
?!
Remembering those disorderly tunes she hummed while bathing, Song Xuyi felt entirely unwell, almost immediately blushing again, wanting only to find a crack in the ground to hide in—
“Then… then I’ll teach you how to adjust the switch.”
Song Xuyi stammered as she spoke, keeping her head down all the while, not bothering to think about whether a spirit body could bathe. Blushing, she hurriedly explained the position of the switch to Bai Yu, just as the phone rang. The deliveryman had brought the phone Song Xuyi bought for Bai Yu, and Song Xuyi almost fled, closing the door and escaping the bathroom…
After signing for the phone from the deliveryman, Song Xuyi took several deep breaths of fresh air in the corridor, yet her thoughts remained extremely chaotic. She felt that she was behaving very strangely today, constantly unable to stop herself from having covetous thoughts about Bai Yu. Song Xuyi despised this mindset, originally wanting to call the system to recite the 《Heart Sutra》 for her. However, for some reason, the system had blocked her. With no other option, Song Xuyi finally simply took out her phone and began reciting the spells mentioned by the online course teacher on the metaphysics app.
The online course teacher said that reciting these spells has the effect of calming the mind. Song Xuyi didn’t expect it to actually work, but after reciting a section, the shyness and chaos lingering in her heart immediately reduced significantly. Feeling extremely amazed, Song Xuyi found herself increasingly admiring Bai Yu’s improvements to the spells, secretly deciding that she must treat Bai Yu as an ancestral teacher and absolutely must not have covetous thoughts about Bai Yu again.
Once Song Xuyi felt ready, she re-entered the room, and almost as soon as she did, a low cry, as if suppressed, came from the bathroom.
“Bai Yu…” Song Xuyi swallowed the words “Immortal Master” that were about to slip out and walked to the bathroom door, speaking with concern: “What happened to you?”
“I’m fine.” Bai Yu’s voice came from within the room. Even though her voice sounded normal, Song Xuyi always felt she was hiding something.
“Bai Yu?” Song Xuyi couldn’t help but call out again.
This time, Bai Yu took about ten more seconds before speaking again, her voice obviously masking pain: “I’m really fine…”
“Hiss—” however, immediately following was the sound of Bai Yu sharply inhaling a breath of cold air.
Song Xuyi asked a few more questions, but Bai Yu did not respond…
Could it be that an old injury has relapsed?
Song Xuyi was extremely anxious and finally gritted her teeth and opened the bathroom door.
Bai Yu seemed not to know how to lock the room door from the inside, so with one twist of the door handle, Song Xuyi opened it:
What met her eyes was steaming water vapor. The bathtub was already filled with water, Bai Yu’s clothes were removed, and she was nestled at the edge of the bathtub. The water did not wet her body, and Bai Yu appeared like a mermaid resting on the water…
Song Xuyi did not take in this rare beauty; Bai Yu’s complexion looked extremely pale. She subconsciously looked towards Bai Yu’s chest: although in a spirit body state, Bai Yu’s chest had a ferocious scar.
Song Xuyi remembered Bai Yu’s injured appearance from before in the haunted house and anxiously stepped forward, just about to cut her own finger, but unexpectedly, Bai Yu then raised her head.
Song Xuyi looked into Bai Yu’s misty eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. Subconsciously, she wanted to retreat, but Bai Yu extended her long arm, and Song Xuyi immediately fell into the bathtub—
Soft lips pressed upon hers.
This time was completely different from previous occasions. If previously Bai Yu was like a clumsy child, instinctively seizing Song Xuyi’s breath, this time she was like a tormenting spirit. She pried open Song Xuyi’s teeth, slightly unfamiliar yet forceful, making inroads all the way, and kissed Song Xuyi until her body turned into a puddle of mud. However, Song Xuyi did not dare to struggle at all, because Bai Yu’s state was too enticing. Song Xuyi was afraid of touching certain places, fearing that it would make their relationship even more awkward…
“She is the ancestral teacher grandmother, Song Xuyi, you absolutely cannot have evil thoughts towards her…” Song Xuyi’s mind was in complete disarray, but she held onto the last bit of clarity, intermittently reciting the incantation in her mind to prevent herself from doing anything harmful to Bai Yu under the temptation of beauty: after all, Bai Yu was already pitiable enough, she regards her as a good friend, how could she do something beastly to her?!
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but when Song Xuyi felt she might faint from lack of oxygen, Bai Yu finally let her go.
“Bai Yu, are you feeling better?” Song Xuyi hurriedly took several breaths, coughing violently a few times. She could feel Bai Yu’s gaze fixed on her face, her cheeks so hot they were almost about to burst, yet she didn’t dare open her eyes, only trembling her eyelashes as she asked with her eyes closed.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Bai Yu did not answer.
Her gaze seemed almost tangible, slowly sweeping over Song Xuyi’s wet hair, cheeks red as if about to drip blood, and rosy lips… her eyes dark like an abyss.
In previous attempts, she had secretly used some subpar charm techniques, feeling that Xuyi was already charmed and her heart was fluttering. So she deliberately struck such a pose in the bathroom, originally thinking Xuyi would lose control and they would come together, allowing her to cling to Xuyi completely. Yet, she did not expect that even in this state, Xuyi’s mind was still very clear…
What happened?
The author has something to say:
Hee hee, nothing happened, it’s just that Xuyi read your book and learned your spells, calming her mind and making your plan fail (^～^)
And then, you treat her as a wife, while she treats you as an ancestral teacher grandmother～
(｀▽?)
Happy New Year, little angels. Wishing everyone academic success, sudden wealth, and to become slimmer and more beautiful in the new year~
(^â–½^)
