Chapter 142
Ye Shaoyang released Xu Handan when they got back to the room . Xu Handan smiled and said, “Mighty sorcerer, you have good acting skills . If you really wanted to capture me, I probably wouldn’t have able to last a second . ”
Ye Shaoyang laughed and said, “The sixty thousand will be the payment for his ignorance and not helping you, so tell me where your parents stay and I’ll hand them thirty thousand . Then, with the rest of the money, I’ll…”
Afraid that Ye Shaoyang would want to give out the rest of the money too, Xiao Ma quickly intervened and said, “Yes, yes, that’s good . I think we should keep the rest of the money since it’s also not easy for us to work at night . ”
Xu Han Dan looked at them gratefully and thanked them .
Then Ye Shaoyang said, “Tell me your boyfriend’s address and name, then we’ll find him and bring him here tomorrow . For now, we’ll go to the other room to rest . ”
After saying that, he gave Xiao Ma a look to signal him to pack his things and follow him to the other room .
“Thirty thousand,” Xiao Ma joyfully said, “Little Ye, your acting skills were very good . Maybe we should do this more often . Maybe find ourselves a spirit servant…”
Ye Shaoyang glanced at him and said, “The gods know what you have done when you’re in the mortal realm, so if you’re not afraid of the underworld sentencing you to the ‘boiling oil punishment’, then go right ahead and trick some more people . ”
Xiao Ma’s face turned pale when he heard the term ‘boiling oil punishment’ and he immediately asked, “Then why are you taking this dirty money?”
“How is this dirty money? A sorcerer is paid to capture evil beings . That’s our job . My charging him for reducing his troubles and capturing the female spirit is the right thing to do . ”
“Reducing troubles? How?” Xiao Ma asked .
“Not saving someone that is dying is punishable by the laws of the netherworld council . My charging him money is somewhat like giving him a fine to reduce the punishment he has to face when he is judged . ”
Shocked by what he heard, Xiao Ma let out a sigh and said, “If that is the case, then I’d rather not take his money and let him suffer more!”
Ye Shaoyang shook his head and said, “Daoism believes in kindness . Also, me taking only thirty thousand from him is nothing, he still has to face a substantial amount of punishment . ”
Xiao Ma felt better after he heard the explanation .
The two of them went to sleep happy, as they were able to get thirty thousand Yuan by doing a good deed .
When it was around seven in the morning, Ye Shaoyang got up and woke Xiao Ma up . They got ready and went over to ask Xu Han Dan for the name of her boyfriend . Wang Xiao Fei was his name, and he stayed at the only commercial district in town .
“Xiao Ma, can you go handle this? You know what to say right? Remember her boyfriend is the only person that can know about this . ”
After Xiao Ma had left . Ye Shaoyang sat with Xu Han Dan to wait . Xu Han Dan held his arm and said, “I am really nervous . ”
Ye Shaoyang gave her a few words of comfort .
Right then, Xie Yuqing walked into the room yelling, “Little trickster, let’s go have breakfast!”
When she saw Ye Shaoyang, she also saw the woman sitting beside him with her hands around his arm . She immediately paused . After a while, she came back to her senses . Her eyes had a complicated look, “Pardon me . ” Then she turned and walked out .
“Hey, hey, don’t take it the wrong way,” Ye Shaoyang rushed to the door and said, “It’s not what you think . ”
Xie Yuqing smiled sourly and asked, “Does it matter? What I think?”
“You’re really taking this the wrong way . ”
Xie Yuqing immediately got angry when she heard this .
How dare he say that I’m taking it the wrong way?
She went back into the room and wanted to give that slut a scolding, but she paused when she saw the appearance of the woman .
She had bloodshot eyes and a tongue that was long enough to reach her chest .
Er, she’s a spirit?
Xu Han Dan waved her hand across her face, which turned her appearance back to normal .
She looked at Xie Yuqing nervously and said, “I’m sorry, did I scare you? I am really sorry, but that was the only way to explain the situation . I didn’t want to cause a misunderstanding between you and your boyfriend . ”
Xie Yuqing was terrified by her appearance but felt oddly happy when she heard what she said and even blushed a bit . In the next moment, Ye Shaoyang crushed her dream when he said, “Who’s her boyfriend . Look at us . Do you think we are a couple?!”
These words completely swept away the joy in her heart . She looked at Ye Shaoyang with slightly tearful eyes and said coldly, “Relax, even if you were the last man alive, I wouldn’t choose you . ”
Ye Shaoyang shrugged and thought, Women and their imagination .
After hearing Xu Han Dan’s story, Xie Yuqing also felt empathy for her . She sat and waited beside her for Xiao Ma to come back .
Xu Han Dan sat in front of the mirror and changed her appearance a few times . She changed her hair, then her clothes . She also asked Xie Yuqing for her opinion, as she feared that she was not pretty enough, or that her appearance was over the top .
Xie Yuqing pulled Ye Shaoyang aside and asked him, “Hey, what would you do if they wanted to continue their relationship? Will you let it be or crush their dreams?”
Ye Shaoyang let out a sigh and said, “Just don’t think too much . We’ll deal with it when Xiao Ma gets back . ”
At that moment, heavy footsteps came from the hall . Xie Yuqing heard it and said, “That’s probably Xiao Ma . ”
Xu Han Dan stood up nervously with her hands together in front of her . She seemed eager and looked forward to meeting him .
Xiao Ma came into the room, but no one was behind him . He sat on the bed and hit the bed, “This is infuriating, how could this happen!”
“What happened? Tell us quickly,” Ye Shaoyang knew something was very wrong .
Xiao Ma looked at Xu Han Dan and sighed, “Lady, you’ve waited for the wrong person . The person you like has already gotten married!”
Xu Han Dan felt weak . Her legs gave in and she almost fainted . Xie Yuqing wanted to help her, but suddenly wondered, Could spirits faint?
Ye Shaoyang continued to ask . Eventually, Xiao Ma explained, “I went to the address that you provided and found his parents, but they told me that their son has already gotten married . They provided an address, and I went to it . When I got there, I saw a couple in a house that had a garden .
“The couple had a very leisurely lifestyle . The man was tidying the garden, and the woman was playing piano on the porch . I called Wang Xiaofei out and told him about you, and he immediately paled . ”
