Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

“Buy, buy, buy! Whatever you want, I’ll buy it. I’ll only keep money for food, okay?” Shen Wan dutifully cleaned the classroom, but while wiping the blackboard, she couldn’t stand Qin Ying following her so closely. Her wife was beautiful, even as a ghost. Those longing eyes were impossible for anyone to resist.

Listening to her wife constantly talking about which mall had the prettiest dresses, how she’d wandered through various malls during Shen Wan’s class time, and mentioning some beautiful dresses that would suit her particularly well – such blatant hints, how could she not understand?

Qin Ying was satisfied but felt a bit embarrassed. “Once we get the reward, I’ll bring over those little ghosts from outside the police station. They all have unresolved grievances, forced to wander outside the station. I’ve heard many of their real killers have been identified. When the time comes, you can talk to Officer Xu Cheng again. Each case could be worth fifty or a hundred thousand, and the money will keep flowing in.”

“Besides, I’ve thought about it. There’s more than one police station in this world, and more than just these few ghosts. In the future, while you’re in class, I’ll go out and round up those little ghosts to ask if they have any grievances.”

Shen Wan thought: This ghost wife is so ruthless!

So shameless for money!

But Shen Wan thought it was a good decision. After some consideration, she said, “If you’re too fierce, you’ll scare them.”

“Then what should I do?” Qin Ying frowned, not thinking she was fierce. Although she was a fierce ghost, she truly had no intention of harming people or killing ghosts. She was just too bored and had finally found the most interesting thing in her ghost life. Wasn’t she overjoyed?

“We should talk to them peacefully. How about this: spread the word that if they give their cases to me to handle, they can get one-third of the reward. I’ll exchange it for spirit money or burn other things they need for them.”

Qin Ying’s eyes lit up, thinking this was a good idea. This way, there would be an endless stream of ghosts coming to Shen Wan for help, bringing both fame and fortune. With rewards to collect and the chance to seek justice, those little ghosts should be willing to do this, right?

Shen Wan also thought this was a good idea. The purpose of doing this wasn’t just for money; there was another important point.

The female ghost by the male lead Mu Yuan’s side, Ruan Xue, was actually a vicious ghost. Although she didn’t seem very powerful now – even the original Shen Wan with her amateur skills could potentially harm her – that might not be the case in the future. Later, Ruan Xue would have an opportunity that would greatly increase her power. Vicious ghosts were different from others; the stronger they became, the more intense their vicious energy and temper. Especially after tasting rapid power growth, they would generally go astray.

The plot didn’t mention what Ruan Xue’s special opportunity was, and Shen Wan couldn’t prevent it. She couldn’t watch Ruan Xue all day, could she? It was better to spend that time playing with her ghost wife, drawing food for her to burn.

In the later stages, Ruan Xue would feed on ghosts, using the small ghosts in the human world as her energy supplements. As long as Shen Wan could report these little ghosts’ grievances and let them willingly report to the underworld, it would be fine. As for those who harmed people and were unwilling to go to the underworld, she might as well eat them. They wouldn’t have a good fate in the underworld anyway.

With no small ghosts left in the human world, Ruan Xue’s dream of feeding on ghosts to increase her power and become a ghost king or even a ghost emperor would be impossible.

Qin Ying, unaware of Shen Wan’s plans, was now floating beside her, counting on her fingers how many ghosts were outside the police station and how many had grievances to report.

“Can you burn a notebook and pen for me?”

Shen Wan was bending over to put trash in a bag when she suddenly heard Qin Ying’s request. She paused, “Do you want to write a diary?”

“No, there are too many ghosts over there. I’ll take a notebook to record everything clearly, which will be more convenient for checking later. Plus, it’s complicated to keep accounts and divide money.”

Shen Wan thought this made sense. She returned to her seat, took a clean, unused notebook, and while looking for a pen, realized pens were either plastic or metal. They couldn’t be burned, and burning plastic would pollute the environment. So she sat back down, folded a pen out of paper, gave it special treatment, and prepared to take the notebook and trash to burn at the garbage dump.

Qin Ying, clearly happy with her new notebook and pen, said, “Wan Wan, I’ll head back to the police station first.” She wanted to go back early to record the cases of those little ghosts and discuss how to split the money. She’d also ask them to help spread the word, urging nearby ghosts with grievances to come register quickly, before it was too late.

Xu Cheng waited patiently at the school gate for half an hour before the tardy Shen Wan finally appeared.

Seeing her emerge, he let out a long sigh. Some things, if asked a week ago, he would have sworn he’d never believe.

Thanks to the information provided by this student Shen Wan, they had finally solved the June 23rd home invasion robbery case. Of course, the final result wasn’t a robbery at all, but a premeditated murder – a crime of passion, you could say. The culprit was the “fool” next door, who had pretended to be foolish for ten years before killing someone. It was quite shocking.

Even more perplexing was that the victim’s wife was an accomplice. The neighbors were all astonished by this revelation.

Regardless, the real culprit had been found, and the case was resolved. It wouldn’t become an unsolved mystery. However, Xu Cheng didn’t dare to relax.

He had come to see Shen Wan, this high school girl, to confirm some things.

The solving of this case was full of miracles. He wanted to clarify whether she had accidentally learned the truth and chose that method to report it, or if there really were supernatural elements in this world.

“Officer Xu, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Shen Wan smiled as she tapped on the car window. “I’m sorry, it was my turn for classroom duty today, so I had to clean thoroughly before leaving. By the way, I’m very hungry now. Can we eat first? That restaurant next door looks good; I hear the food is excellent.”

Xu Cheng: “……”

“Alright then.”

It was a bit expensive, but considering her help in solving the case, treating her to a meal wasn’t unreasonable. Still, his wallet would take another hit this month. Well, he’d just smoke fewer cigarettes this month.

Shen Wan pretended not to notice Xu Cheng’s pained expression. What was there to be pained about? If he treated this great Buddha well, Officer Xu would become the city’s top police officer in the future. After all, many cases would need this officer’s help in the coming days.

“Student Shen Wan, order less. You can always order more if you’re still hungry. If you order too much, it’ll go to waste.”

“Don’t worry, I’m starving. I can finish it all.”

Shen Wan kept her head down, still looking at the menu. Suddenly, she felt a cold breeze on her face. She looked up, staring at a corner of the private room. “Little ghost, what are you looking at?”

Xu Cheng was startled by Shen Wan’s sudden words. Seeing her staring unblinkingly at the corner, he felt a chill run down his spine. That feeling of coldness from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his whole body tingling – he didn’t know how to describe it.

“Stop looking. Even if you watch, you can’t eat.”

Shen Wan lowered her head and continued ordering. Xu Cheng told himself he believed in science and wouldn’t fall for such superstitious ghost stories. The girl must be trying to scare him, that’s all. Although it did feel eerily cold around them, he reasoned it was just the weather getting colder.

Finally, Xu Cheng muttered “Amitabha” in his heart, then his face stiffened. To hell with Amitabha! He shouldn’t believe in feudal superstitions.

The food arrived quickly. It had been a long time since Xu Cheng had eaten so well. Dining at such a grand restaurant was a rare occurrence in his life. If he wasn’t trying to get information from this high school student, he wouldn’t be bleeding money like this.

Indeed, the food was excellent, whetting his appetite. He ate several bowls of rice. But thinking of his increasingly thin wallet, he felt a pang of regret.

“Wuwuwu. Can’t you let people eat in peace?”

As Xu Cheng was enjoying his meal, he was startled by Shen Wan’s words. His chopsticks froze mid-air, and he instinctively looked towards that corner. It was empty, nothing there, but his whole body felt on edge. The hair on his exposed arms stood on end at Shen Wan’s words.

“Who are you talking to?” Xu Cheng couldn’t ignore it anymore. Shen Wan didn’t look like she was acting.

He had studied microexpression psychology; as a police officer, it was basic knowledge. Many skills were necessary to help eliminate suspects and solve cases quickly.

Shen Wan’s expression didn’t seem fake; it was as if someone was really crying in that corner.

He took a deep breath. “Student Shen Wan, why don’t we talk while we eat?” Despite saying this, Xu Cheng had already put down his chopsticks. He had lost his appetite. He just wanted to understand how she knew about the June 23rd case, and who she was talking to just now.

Shen Wan agreed.

As for Xu Cheng’s questions, she still answered that she could communicate with spirits. The details of the previous case were all told to her by the victim’s soul. The victim was very unwilling to die and knew before his death that the intruder who killed him was the “fool” next door. His soul refused to go to the underworld, intending to find out why the other person wanted to kill him, and eventually learned those things.

Xu Cheng didn’t want to believe it, but the facts he uncovered indeed showed that Shen Wan and the victim weren’t acquainted. Before this, living at the Mu family’s house, her background was indeed that of a ghost hunter, mainly because her grandfather seemed to be quite famous in the area, which was how he found out about this. When people there heard of Old Man Shen, their expressions would become serious, showing they truly believed in his abilities.

“Then who were you talking to just now?”

“A ghost of a girl about my age. She’s hiding there crying, not letting me eat in peace.”

Xu Cheng stared at the empty space, his scalp tingling. His lips moved, “What did she say?”

“She said she feels terrible.”
