Ha, Karma! – Chapter 15

Take your time thinking about your revenge plan, sister is going to sleep.

Fu Lianxue felt satisfied with Chu Zhaoqiu’s answer.

Not being that kind of person, doesn’t that mean she wouldn’t like it?

She was indeed still the “Zhaoqiu” she knew.

The Zhaoqiu who always stood against demons and evil spirits.

Fu Lianxue lost interest in chatting further with Chu Zhaoqiu, she put down her phone and got up to walk to the living room.

When she reached the doorway, the little water ghost crouching in the living room caught her eye.

Besides that, there was also a curious cat extending its paw toward the little water ghost.

The little water ghost raised her finger to gently respond to the curious kitten.

As soon as she touched Baobao, Baobao’s paw became wet as if it had touched water.

With wet paws, Baobao immediately withdrew them to lick them dry.

It didn’t like having water on its body.

After licking them dry, it continued reaching out curiously to paw at the little water ghost, then withdrew to lick again when its paws got wet.

…Obviously not the brightest.

But having someone—having a ghost to play with was better than bouncing around alone all night.

The little water ghost played carefully with Baobao, seeming somewhat happy.

She had seen cats before when she snuck out of the necklace to play, but had never played with them.

Many cats would become fierce upon seeing her, just like Baobao did when first meeting her, with fur standing on end and constantly hissing.

Few cats were as bold as Baobao was now, willing to play with her.

She thought this must be the confidence given by having an owner.

Fu Lianxue was very capable, and she was very very good to cats. With her around, no one would dare bully her cat, so Baobao was brave, daring to touch and feel everything.

She suddenly felt a bit envious.

Being a cat was so nice, having food, drink, and play, not having to worry about making a living, not having to work miserably like people nowadays, and still receiving someone’s unconditional love.

Being a cat was just too blessed…

“Do you want to sleep?”

Fu Lianxue’s voice suddenly came through.

She looked up at Fu Lianxue, who was wearing pajamas and leaning against the doorframe with arms crossed, then gently shook her head.

“I don’t need to sleep.”

Fu Lianxue nodded: “That’s perfect then, my Baobao sometimes stays up at night too, you two can play together.”

The little water ghost nodded with a smile, making “mm-mm” sounds.

Playing with the cat was good, she liked playing with cats.

“Just play at home, don’t run off,” Fu Lianxue materialized the necklace that had previously confined her out of thin air, “This thing is still in my hands, you know you can’t leave it for too long.”

Yes, she couldn’t leave the necklace for too long.

To be precise, she couldn’t stay outside the necklace’s sensing range for too long.

That’s why she had to return to Chen Hong’s house tonight, her binding was still there.

“I won’t run off,” the little water ghost obediently responded, “I’m still waiting for sister to help me get revenge tomorrow.”

Now she only trusted Fu Lianxue, not daring to trust anyone else.

If she encountered another Chen Hong, this time she might not even have a chance at reincarnation!

“Good that you understand.”

Fu Lianxue turned and went into the room.

“Take your time thinking about your revenge plan, sister is going to sleep.”

The little water ghost crouched in place, nodding obediently.

She had already planned her revenge.

Tomorrow she would first go find someone!

Chu Zhaoqiu stayed in the Lin family’s living room until dawn.

Although Fu Lianxue said she wouldn’t come, no one could guarantee there wouldn’t be accidents, so she kept watch here to feel at ease.

Fortunately, nothing really happened.

She hadn’t been idle either, taking this opportunity to practice cultivation quietly until dawn.

Dawn had broken, and once Fu Lianxue woke up, the trouble would begin.

Chu Zhaoqiu thought of Chen Hong and picked up her phone to make some arrangements.

She didn’t know what Fu Lianxue would do, but she thought she should have some people watch Chen Hong’s place as well.

Having people keep watch, in case Fu Lianxue suddenly went to kill him, they could stop her.

Fu Lianxue could cause trouble for her alone, but she couldn’t just watch Fu Lianxue cross the line and harm others.

That wouldn’t be good for Fu Lianxue either, she would be marked and wouldn’t be able to live in peace.

At this time, Lin Yun also woke up.

After finishing her morning routine and walking out of her room, she immediately spotted Chu Zhaoqiu sitting in the living room, feeling surprised.

“Miss Chu?!

“Why did you come so early?”

Chu Zhaoqiu rose calmly: “No, I’ve been here the whole time.”

Lin Yun was stunned.

Here?

She had been keeping watch in her living room without leaving??

Chu Zhaoqiu briefly asked about her sleep.

“Did Miss Lin sleep well last night?”

“Yes… slept very well, it was the best sleep I’ve had this week.”

“That’s good.”

Chu Zhaoqiu glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window behind her, then turned and politely asked: “Would you mind if I use your bathroom to wash my face?”

Lin Yun blinked in confusion: “Oh, sure, feel free…”

She pointed to the location: “It’s over there.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Yun stood on the stairs watching the bathroom door close, still clutching the calming talisman Chu Zhaoqiu had given her yesterday.

She stared blankly at the yellow paper charm, suddenly feeling her trust in Chu Zhaoqiu multiply.

Not only did Chu Zhaoqiu really help her sleep peacefully, but she also kept watch at her house all night, this felt so secure and reliable!

She wanted to tell Chen Hong that the ghost-exorcising master her parents found was truly an expert!

Thinking this, she turned and went upstairs to get her phone from her room.

Chu Zhaoqiu washed her face briefly in the bathroom.

Water droplets fell along her thick eyelashes, looking like crystalline tears when she raised her eyes.

She felt much more awake now.

After resolving matters here, she would go back and get a good sleep.

At this moment, her phone vibrated.

Chu Yun messaged to ask about her situation and what she wanted for breakfast.

She remembered the Chu family disciples who had kept watch outside all night, and opened the bathroom door to walk straight outside.

She told everyone to rest for a while, saying they could go home to rest after breakfast when the next shift of disciples arrived.

Then she selected someone to be responsible for noting down what everyone wanted to eat.

After working hard all night, it was time to eat something.

Everyone’s attitude immediately lightened.

One by one, they spoke about what they wanted to eat, then asked what the young family head wanted.

For convenience, everyone chose breakfast items that could be bought from a single location.

Chu Zhaoqiu stood at the doorway with a gentle gaze, watching them chat freely, everything seeming fine.

The next second, her gaze sharpened, and her expression suddenly turned serious.

She turned to look at the third floor, suddenly rushing upstairs—she had sensed something.

“Miss Lin!”

Without regard for politeness, she burst straight in.

Lin Yun was sitting properly on the bed typing on her phone, and looked up at her with confusion when she heard her voice.

“What’s wrong?”

Just as she asked, suddenly a fierce wind blew in from the balcony.

The curtains on both sides swayed back and forth, drawing arc after arc.

In the wind, the sound of water appeared again.

Chu Zhaoqiu strode forward, protecting Lin Yun behind her.

Lin Yun, now realizing the situation, nervously grabbed her clothes, fearfully looking toward the brightly lit balcony.

At this moment, someone suddenly snapped their fingers crisply.

After the snap, Lin Yun vaguely saw a figure at the balcony window.

Accompanied by the familiar sound of water, the figure became increasingly clear, finally appearing completely in her eyes.

Lin Yun was stunned.

It was a girl.

She wasn’t very tall, with braided pigtails, wearing old-fashioned clothes that didn’t fit well and had patches on the top—she didn’t look like someone from their era.

Water dripped constantly from all over the girl’s body, forming patches of black mist on the floor.

Only her eyes were bright and clear, carrying a trace of guilt.

Lin Yun saw her open her mouth and say:

“Hello… I’m the female ghost who scared you.”
