Chapter 231: 230. A Succubus Ghost
Wen Yang stood at the only entrance of the library, while Ning Chu wandered around inside, yet she couldn’t spot An An anywhere.
She was pretty sure of it now.
An An was that ghost from the book who got exorcised to the point of not being able to close her legs, turning into a dark-skinned female ghost.
Though she didn’t know if that ghost was harmful or how it would harm people, she was certain An An was after Wen Yang’s body!
What a succubus ghost!
Thinking back, the couple they encountered while adventuring in the teaching building at late night might not have been a couple at all, but rather a student lured by the female ghost, sapping away their yang energy.
This ghost not only became a faculty member at the school, but now she could roam freely during the day, her movements like a ghost. If it weren’t for Wen Yang’s insistence, Ning Chu would have even suggested he take a few days off.
God forbid the day she gets targeted by the female ghost; Wen Yang was just a little virgin without the ability to exorcise. Plus, he had no tools to harm a ghost.
He might just end up being drained dry.
“It’s definitely a ghost!”
After another lap around the library, Ning Chu returned to Wen Yang’s side, her face serious.
Wen Yang could only nod helplessly, agreeing, “Yeah, it’s a female ghost.”
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Ning Chu fidgeted. She opened her phone to search the school forum for posts about ghost stories.
Sure enough, she found quite a bit of content.
Some people heard strange noises coming from the restroom, others saw a flicker of a red-clothed figure, and some even claimed to have spent a night entwined with the ghost, left weak for days.
Most students took these posts as mere campus folklore and didn’t take them seriously.
But the descriptions of the female ghost all had a common feature— a red camisole long skirt, just like An An’s outfit.
Now Ning Chu was even more convinced of her theory as she handed her phone to Wen Yang.
“Look, they’re all in red clothes.”
Wen Yang glanced at the posts, hesitating before lifting his gaze to her earnest face.
“If it really were haunted, the school would have reacted by now, right?”
Though still skeptical, Ning Chu’s overly serious demeanor made Wen Yang start to doubt.
“Isn’t your uncle a professional? Ask him about it?”
“This…”
“Just treat it as a casual chat. He just had surgery, let’s check on his health.”
Ning Chu still hoped Wen Yang’s uncle could help them out.
There was no way she could throw Wen Yang into the fray, right?
Did that mean she’d have to give him a few training sessions?
Even if it was a ghost and not a human, she refused to send her boyfriend out.
Seeing her getting all worked up, Wen Yang nodded, took out his phone, and walked towards the library’s exit.
Ning Chu followed him outside onto the corridor, leaning over the railing, listening to Wen Yang’s conversation with his uncle.
“No way, uncle! Didn’t you say it’s all feudal superstition? Could it really be a ghost?”
“Ah? Me? I really can’t, I don’t even know how to exorcise a ghost.”
“Just come over! It’s just a few hours by car.”
Wen Yang hung up the phone with a wry smile, turning to Ning Chu, his mouth twisting slightly, “No luck, my uncle said he can’t make it; he just had surgery.”
“See… I told you it was a female ghost!”
He scratched his head, suddenly feeling that the teaching building was eerily creepy.
Feeling a tingle of paranoia, Wen Yang glanced warily down the corridor and frowned, asking, “Am I being targeted?”
“Probably!”
In the plot of the Small Royal Text, the female ghost actively appears to entice the male lead, only to find he’s prepared, leading to an epic battle where too much yang energy enters, causing her soul to scatter.
Or in simpler terms, she gets destroyed.
Even a female ghost can’t handle it! Let alone a succubus!
Last night, Ning Chu was relieved that Wen Yang wasn’t as fierce as depicted in the book, but the second attempt made her realize Wen Yang was just too nervous the first time.
Wen Yang paced back and forth in the corridor, deep in thought.
He actually felt calm, considering he had interacted with An An twice before, each time managing to escape easily.
“Let’s not think too much. We just need to be cautious,” Ning Chu reassured him, although her brows were tightly knitted, still mulling over how to deal with the female ghost.
There was a ghost lurking in the teaching building, always fixated on her boyfriend…
Even if Wen Yang could resist temptation, what if he slipped up and got taken advantage of!?
She couldn’t shake off that irritating thought.
“Sao fox,” Ning Chu mumbled.
Why did the novel have to include a succubus ghost?
She shouldn’t have read the exorcist series! What a waste of time!
Not wanting to read any more in the library, Wen Yang and Ning Chu leisurely walked downstairs to a small garden not far from the teaching building.
In the center of the garden was a modest artificial lake with a few free little yellow duck paddle boats tied up on the shore.
Ning Chu found a bench to sit on, glancing around and noticing many couples in their own little worlds.
She looked up at Wen Yang standing by the artificial lake and called out, “Come sit.”
“That ghost won’t eat people, right?”
“If it were really about eating people, it would have been a huge scandal by now, alright?”
Wen Yang felt relieved now as he sat next to Ning Chu, crossing his legs, mumbling, “My uncle even told me to exorcise the ghost, saying I’ll be fine.”
Ning Chu shook her head vigorously, saying, “We’re not doing that! What if we tick off the ghost and she really does eat someone?”
She didn’t want to send Wen Yang out as bait.
After all, she turned herself into a girl for Wen Yang’s virgin self, becoming his girlfriend—she wouldn’t let a ghost bear the fruits of her labor.
“Does your uncle have no friends? Could he ask someone he trusts to help?”
“I’ll ask again. Maybe he could send me some protective stuff.”
Ning Chu thought hard about how to ruin the female ghost’s plot, but aside from exorcising, there didn’t seem to be any good solutions.
After all, the plot had the female ghost lusting after the male lead, only to be counter-killed.
“From now on, whenever I see girls in red, I’ll take the long way around.”
Wen Yang tried calling his uncle again, but this time he couldn’t get through.
All he could do was sigh in frustration and turn to Ning Chu, asking, “What do you think the ghost is after me for? I have a feeling she’s… trying to seduce me?”
“Who knows? Maybe she wants to suck your yang energy?”
“Uh… like the ghosts in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?”
There was a hint of anticipation on his face, but seeing Ning Chu narrow her eyes unhappily, he quickly corrected himself, “I’ll be careful from now on, and if I see girls in red, I’ll run far away.”
“Mm.”
“And I have a physical exam in a couple of days…”
Ning Chu’s face turned sour immediately.
“I got two physical exam forms from the counselor ahead of time.” Wen Yang suddenly pulled out neatly folded exam forms from his coat pocket, “Ta-da! You just need to go do your exams with the other class’s students. If someone chickens out, take Xin Ya or Lily with you.”
“With other classes?”
“Yeah, I checked; from tomorrow to Friday, the school will have classes taking turns for exams every afternoon. Just blend in, and no one will know.” He laid out the plan, “Our class is Friday afternoon, so just complete the exam items on the forms beforehand and hand them to me.”
Ning Chu thought for a moment and realized Wen Yang’s plan made sense.
No one in the other classes would recognize her, so they wouldn’t see her as a guy, allowing her to openly participate in the exams with the girls.
