46.

Jiang Pan let out a scoff and said, "Why can't a female ghost work the middle shift?"

"Finish the KPL early, get off work early."

Chi You looked at him in silence. Was it really appropriate to discuss a ghost like this?

After all, female ghosts had their pride too. Weren't they afraid the ghost might hear this and come back for revenge?

"Where do I take a bath?" Chi You didn't want to discuss this topic with him anymore. She turned her head, looked around the room, and asked.

"Over there," Jiang Pan pointed to a spot not far away partitioned off by a folding screen.

Chi You's mouth twitched slightly as she looked at the spot. It was fine to live in a purely traditional ancient style, but taking a bath in one didn't seem quite necessary.

"What about going to the restroom at night?" Chi You asked again.

Don't tell her she was going to have to use a chamber pot!

"The bathroom is right there."

Chi You: ??

Where on earth was a bathroom?

With a heart full of doubt, she walked over to the folding screen and stepped inside, only to discover a modern bathroom had been installed within.

Heh, quite a clever setup.

Pulling out a set of clothes, she went in and started showering. While applying body wash, Chi You kept feeling as though someone was caressing her back.

Yet whenever she turned around, no one was there. Not only that, but the hand grew even bolder, sliding all the way down to Chi You's buttocks.

Unable to bear it any longer, Chi You pulled out a Taoist yellow talisman and slapped it directly onto the door as she spun around.

On top of that, Chi You pasted yellow talismans in all four corners of the bathroom.

Let them dare to harass her again!

Already dead and still such a pervert.

If she caught the culprit, she would definitely make its soul scatter into nothingness.

By the time Chi You finished her bath and stepped outside, the scene outside had descended into utter chaos.

Some people were crying, others were screaming, hugging each other with faces full of terror.

Chi You hurried to the doorway and asked, "What happened?"

No one answered her question, but she already knew what had taken place.

In the spacious courtyard, a corpse lay on the ground. The young woman's face wore a serene expression, making her look as though she had simply fallen asleep.

She was dressed in festive red garments, with a pair of mandarin duck embroidered shoes on her feet.

Her face was painted with ancient makeup, as if she had meticulously prepared herself.

The young woman lay there peacefully on the ground, with a few fast-food packages scattered nearby.

It was the same girl who had come to ask Jiang Pan what they wanted for dinner.

She had gone out to buy some food, and then returned dead.

At that moment, the village chief barged in with a group of people, right as they laid eyes on the woman dressed in a red bridal gown lying on the ground.

Their faces displayed eerie smiles; moreover, this group of people could not conceal their excitement and agitation as they gazed at the corpse on the ground.

The red bride had appeared!

"Someone is dead!" Someone shouted toward the village chief and the others at that moment, their voice trembling.

"There's a ghost in the village! The bride ghost is looking for a substitute!" A male voice cried out, trembling.

Oh, so the female ghost who came looking for them was a ghost bride.

At that moment, the village chief stepped forward to calm everyone down.

"Please remain calm, everyone. There must be some misunderstanding here."

"There are no ghost brides in our village, so don't overthink it."

Meanwhile, the young men following behind him kept their eyes fixed firmly on the female corpse, excitement flashing in the eyes of each and every one of them.

Chi You observed them and, seeing that these people showed not a shred of fear, thought to herself: There is definitely something wrong here.

"Impossible, your village has always had this legend," that person insisted firmly.

However, the village chief now only wanted to take the body back so the young men of the clan could consummate their marriage with it; he was in no mood to argue with them here.

"For everyone's safety, we will take this female corpse away first," the village chief said righteously.
