Chapter 193: Chapter 193 The Spirit i

Chapter 193 The Spirit in the Dung

The spirit realized that Ye Shaoyang was a tough opponent . It kneeled in front of him at once in a kowtow and begged for mercy .

Ye Shaoyang waved his hand and said, “Why are you here? Why are you not going to the underworld?”

“Great sorcerer, please spare me . I am Chen Shushi, a university student who was killed by someone three years ago,” Chen Shushi sobbed as he said, “I went to the underworld after I died, became a Spirit Labourer, and am waiting for my turn to reincarnate . Today is my death day . Sob! Sob! General Niu permitted me to enjoy the mortal world for one day . Here is my Spirit Badge . ”

As the spirit spoke, it thrust into its abdomen and handed a shiny green wooden badge to Ye Shaoyang . He sensed the Spirit Badge and returned it after verifying it .

“Little Ye, how come it has a Spirit Badge when it is not a Spirit Commissioner?” Xiao Ma wondered .

“There are many types of Spirit Badge . Laborers in the underworld get a temporary green Spirit Badges given by the Netherworld Council to prevent sorcerers mistaking them as spirits that refuse to go to the underworld and killing them . ”

As Ye Shaoyang finished, he asked Chen Shushi for the details of his death .

Chen Shushi was too embarrassed to answer at once . He hesitated before he replied, “I was pushed into a pit latrine and drowned in the dung . ”

His answer left Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma speechless .

“Why would the murderer push you into the pit latrine?”

Chen Shushi replied, “It was because of the conflict between two families . Alas, it is a long story, and the murderer has been executed . Let's not talk further about this . ”

Ye Shaoyang nodded, “Then what were you doing in my apartment?”

Chen Shushi replied awkwardly, “I just went to receive the Hell notes from my family and smelled something stinking in your toilet when I passed by, but I didn't know that this apartment belonged to you, great sorcerer . ”

Ye Shaoyang suddenly realized . He turned around and shouted angrily at Xiao Ma, “Did you flush the toilet before we left?!”

Xiao Ma mumbled, “Errr… I was peeing when you urged me to be quick, and I forgot…”

Damn . Forgetting to flush and cover up the toilet bowl would allow the smell of the fermented urine to attract spirits' attention . Ye Shaoyang was really amazed by what Xiao Ma had done .

"Why did you try to frighten me then?" Xiao Ma asked Chen Shushi sternly who had turned back his usual appearance .

"I still have time to stay in the mortal world . I tried to frighten you away because I wanted to sleep longer . I had never expected you would stay and smack me with a hand seal . I had no choice but to protect myself," Chen Shushi kept bowing down to Xiao Ma while explaining, "Great sorcerer, I'm so, so sorry . I hope you can forgive me . "

Ye Shaoyang believed Chen Shushi's words . He chose to escape after he had broken Xiao Ma’s hand seal instead of continuing to hurt Xiao Ma . Ye Shaoyang did not kill Chen Shushi because he had no intention to harm the mortal world .

Xiao Ma felt elated to be called a ‘Great Sorcerer’ by Chen Shushi . He stood upright, smiled and waved to him, “I forgive you this time . You may leave now . ”

Chen Shushi kept thanking and apologizing to the two of them . He bowed to Xiao Ma and Ye Shaoyang before he turned around and left .

Xiao Ma was fascinated with the way Chen Shushi addressed him . He sighed with emotion, “It’s so great to be a sorcerer . Even spirits show respect and try to please you--”

“Stop talking and flush the toilet!” roared Ye Shaoyang, pulling Xiao Ma back to the reality . He quickly walked into the toilet . Previously, the toilet bowl was covered, but now, the unbearable, pungent smell evaded every part of the toilet because it was uncovered .

Xiao Ma covered his nose, flushed the toilet thrice, and opened the window to ventilate the toilet .

He was gasping for fresh air when he came back to the living room and asked, “Little Ye, about Chen Shushi, is he mad? Why would he choose to stay in such a place?”

“Spirits have a different sense of smell from humans . Stagnant pools of filth are their favorite . That’s why they like to hide in toilets and public baths . Chen Shushi drowned in a pool of dung . Of course, he would like to stay in the toilet . It is the same reason for why those who drowned in the water like to play in the water . They are fondly attached to these places, and because they are formless, the filth will not stain their bodies . ”

Xiao Ma nodded . He became excited again and said enthusiastically, “My determination to become a Daoist has become stronger after today’s incident . Though I made a small mistake, I will work harder! Little Ye, can you feel my warm blood?”

“I can only see chicken blood in you . Let’s see how long you can sustain your enthusiasm . ”

Xiao Ma wanted to argue, but Ye Shaoyang stopped him, waving his hands and said, “Stop arguing . Go prepare the beds and rest . ”

Xiao Ma took out bed sheets from the wardrobe and prepared the beds . While Ye Shaoyang rested on his bed, he watched Xiao Ma still playing with his mobile phone .

He asked, “SMS with Wang Ping?”

“Wechat-ing! Nobody uses SMS nowadays . You’re so old-fashioned . ”

Ye Shaoyang snorted quietly . He heard about Wechat, but he had never used it before; he did not even know how to use it and simply texted Rui Lengyu via SMS every night . He did not believe Wechat would be more convenient than SMS .

“Have you won over her heart?” Ye Shaoyang simply asked .

“Nah, it’s too good to be easy, but she seems to have a good feeling for me . I have a feeling I can win her heart in time,” Xiao Ma became delighted once he spoke about Wang Ping . His eyes beamed with joy .

“You like her personality, her appearance, or her slim figure?” Ye Shaoyang looked at Xiao Ma and asked .

“I like her-- Hey!” Xiao Ma growled, “I like her in whole . Marrying her is my dream of life!”

Ye Shaoyang scoffed .

Xiao Ma glared at Ye Shaoyang and said, “Why? You think she deserves a better person?”

“No, I don’t . I think you deserve a better one . ”

Xiao Ma replied furiously, “Don’t try to discourage me . It is my dream to be with her . Don’t you have a dream?”

Ye Shaoyang nodded and smiled, “My dream is simple: to earn as much money as I can . ”

“What about after you have earned a lot of money?”

“Save the money . ”

“After saving that?”

“No more . ”

“Damn, you are a typical miser!”

“You don’t understand the satisfaction of earning money . ”

Ye Shaoyang felt proud of himself when thinking of the two hundred thousand Yuan in his bank account . After so many years of restriction by Qing Yunzi, he finally had his own account . It was so nice having such a significant amount of money in his account .

Ye Shaoyang promised himself to stop taking such risky and low paying tasks after he settled Madam Chee . He wanted to join Old Guo in checking Feng Shui for rich people and dealing with those simple spirit cases with a higher pay rate . As for the spending part, he had never thought of it .

Ye Shaoyang then chased Xiao Ma back to his bedroom and switched off the light .

As he was about to sleep, he suddenly felt something strange in his body . It affected his arms and gradually crawled up and stopped at his shoulders .

Ye Shaoyang quickly got up and switched on the light . He was shocked when he looked at his shoulders .

What are these?!
