Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 317 Modern Supernatural 8

"No rush!" Qiao Chu lay on him, not letting him move; the human-shaped body pillow was so comfortable.

Murong Bai felt her soft body and could only remain stiff and motionless.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Qiao Chu let Murong Bai get out of bed.

She said lazily, "I'm hungry, go buy groceries and cook!"

This body is no different from a normal person's; it gets hungry at mealtimes.

Murong Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Lying there like this was really testing his self-control, and he was afraid of disturbing her sleep.

"Okay, you can sleep a little longer." He kissed Qiao Chu on the cheek, then got up with a smile.

In the end, Murong Bai didn't manage to buy a bed, because he moved into Qiao Chu's room.

At night, the two were sleeping peacefully when Qiao Chu suddenly opened her eyes and looked out the window with the curtains drawn.

Her gaze passed through the curtains and met a pair of eyes streaming with bloody tears.

In an instant, Qiao Chu also flashed to the window, floating in the air and looking at the ghost opposite, just about to make a move.

"Qiao Chu, I was wondering why I hadn't seen you lately. Turns out you've been hiding here." The female ghost, dressed in a white dress with blood tears streaming from her eyes, said with a smile.

Qiao Chu paused in her movements. Was this ghost someone the original owner knew? She carefully recalled the original owner's memories before finally finding a trace in the corner.

This is a rare ghost who can talk to the original owner of the body. She is also a vengeful ghost. However, the original owner of the body doesn't talk much, so it is always this ghost who comes to talk to the original owner.

"Why are you here?" Qiao Chu asked, mimicking the original owner's tone.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ran's smile instantly turned into impatience: "I've been targeted by ghost hunters lately."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Chu heard footsteps approaching. She used her spiritual power to look over and found that it was the three people she had seen before, with two unfamiliar people following behind them.

"You still have time to reminisce with me? We're here to arrest you."

Ye Ran turned to look behind her and said, "Qiao Chu, why don't you help me deal with them? They've been chasing me around lately, and I'm so annoyed."

The ghosts that special departments have their eyes on are usually located by them using special methods. Ye Ran was one of them, and lately he has no peace no matter where he goes.

Qiao Chu shook her head and said, "I don't want to cause trouble. You deal with it yourself."

"No, or I'll come to see you every day. That guy inside is your lover... Ah!"

Before Ye Ran could finish speaking, Qiao Chu kicked him to the ground.

"You can give it a try!" Qiao Chu's eyes were cold.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ran quickly got up and said with an awkward smile, "I was just joking. If you don't want to help, you don't have to. Why can't I joke around like before?"

"That vengeful ghost is just ahead, hurry up!" a male voice called out.

Qiao Chu looked at Ye Ran expressionlessly: "Get out of here right now, or I'll hand you over to them."

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now." After saying that, Ye Ran quickly disappeared from the spot.

Ye Ran didn't want to back down, but she couldn't win. She had never been a match for Qiao Chu before.

Now she felt that Qiao Chu seemed even more powerful, and Ye Ran rubbed her chest, which was sore from being kicked, and cried.

How come she's not as good as the other ghosts, even though they're both vengeful spirits?

Qiao Chu returned to the room and concealed the ghostly aura around her.

Hearing footsteps passing by downstairs, Qiao Chu lay down to continue sleeping.

The person behind her leaned in and put their arm around her, their sleepy voice still a little muffled: "What was that sound?"

"It's nothing, you can go back to sleep," Qiao Chu said softly.

Murong Bai was too tired to think about it, so he leaned over and kissed the back of her neck before falling back asleep.

The next day at noon, Qiao Chu got up, opened the door to wash up, and just as she sat down at the dining table, there was another person in the chair next to her.

Oh no, it's a ghost. Ye Ran looks different today than last night. Apart from being a little pale, he's not much different from a normal person.

"Qiao Chu, I've come to see you again. Are you happy?" Ye Ran said with a smile.

Qiao Chu said expressionlessly, "If you're unhappy, then you should leave now."

"Don't be like that. I came all this way to see you, and you're just kicking me out," Ye Ran said, feigning hurt.

Hearing voices outside from the kitchen, Murong Bai came out and asked, "Who are you talking to?"

He had barely finished speaking when he saw a ghost sitting next to Qiao Chu. Of course, he could tell it was a ghost.

"Qiaoqiao, is this your friend?" Murong Bai asked.

"Yes," Ye Ran said with a smile.

"I don't know him," Qiao Chu said expressionlessly.

Murong Bai looked at them with suspicion, and Qiao Chu said, "We're not familiar with each other. She came uninvited."

"Qiao Chu, we've known each other for years, how can you say we're not close?" Ye Ran said accusingly.

Qiao Chu ignored her and looked at Murong Bai: "Is the food ready?"

Murong Bai snapped out of his daze: "Oh, it'll be ready soon."

After hesitating for a moment, he glanced at Ye Ran and asked, "Does she eat at our house?"

“She won’t eat,” Qiao Chu said.

Ye Ran didn't refute this, and Murong Bai nodded and went into the kitchen.

After everyone left, Ye Ran turned to Qiao Chu and asked, "Why are you still eating?"

He then looked her over with his eyes, his expression gradually turning to surprise, and said, "Why can't I sense any ghostly aura about you? You don't even look like a ghost right now."

Qiao Chu glanced at her: "You're a bit noisy."

"Tell me, and I won't bother you anymore." Ye Ran was genuinely curious about how she managed to do that.

Qiao Chu didn't mention this. She suddenly remembered what happened last night: "You've come here now, have those ghost hunters already arrived?"

Ye Ran's expression stiffened slightly: "I don't think so, it's broad daylight."

"Go away and don't cause me any trouble."

"No way! No one can tell you're a ghost like this. Tell me how you did it. I want to get rid of those ghost catchers too," Ye Ran said with a fawning expression.

Qiao Chu shook her head: "I can't help it. If you don't leave, I'll pack you up and give you to them."

"You're heartless and ungrateful. All our years of friendship have been wasted," Ye Ran said with a resentful expression.

Qiao Chu replied coldly, "What kind of relationship do we have?"

"You..." Ye Ran pointed at her angrily.

dong dong dong~

A knock suddenly sounded at the door, and Murong Bai came out when he heard the sound.

"Who's knocking?" No one usually comes to see him.

Qiao Chu rolled her eyes at Ye Ran: "They're definitely looking for you. Aren't you leaving?"

Ye Ran immediately backed down: "I'm leaving, you hold them off for me."

After saying that, she left. Murong Bai looked at Qiao Chu and asked worriedly, "Should we open the door?"

"Go ahead and open it!" Qiao Chu nodded. She moved her hand and a burst of spiritual energy flashed through the air, instantly absorbing all the ghostly energy.

The ghostly aura emanating from her was completely concealed.

Murong Bai felt the ghostly aura disappear, and he breathed a sigh of relief before going to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw two men and a woman standing outside. I had seen them before at the entrance of the residential area.

"Who are you? What brings you to my house?" Murong Bai asked, looking puzzled.
