Chapter 486 No Wonder You’re the Foolish Ghost
After hearing the foolish ghost’s words, all the ghosts found that they had finished eating their candy.
The harem spirit slurped his fingers, shook his head, and remarked, “Truly, you are not undeserving of the name foolish ghost. You are indeed a fool.”
Many men share this sentiment, believing that they are drained by external pressures and already fulfill their duties as the family’s pillars.
Matters concerning women in the family were regarded as trivial, and if they can deceive them, they will deceive them. If deception fails, they opt to evade the issues, thinking that by not confronting them directly, no problems will arise.
Unbeknownst to them, even trivial matters could accumulate and transform into irreparable, significant problems.
The cowardly ghost remarked, “Ultimately, your tragedy stems from your actions. Frankly speaking, you played a significant role in the deterioration of your family, including your wife and mother.
The marriage did not sever familial ties, but some individuals find themselves unable to maintain a separate household due to financial constraints, feeling helpless in the face of reality.
Others, resembling cowards, exhibit laziness and avoidance. They adopt an indifferent attitude towards the deteriorating relationship between their wife and mother, either because they lack the desire to control it or find themselves incapable of doing so.
However, if he genuinely wished to resolve it, how can he refrain from solving it?
The cowardly ghost concluded, “You brought this upon yourself,”
The harem spirit chimed in, “You got what you deserved!”
The unlucky ghost joined in, “You deserved it!”
The foolish ghost remained silent.
He stared at the other ghosts and said, “And what about each of you? Did you believe you deserved your respective fates when you were alive?”
The harem spirit giggled. That’s right, I deserved it,”
The cowardly ghost hushed them, “Shh…”
At some point, Lilly drifted into a deep slumber.
Her tiny arms and legs were sprawled out, creating an adorable sight, and she snored softly like a contented piglet.
The cowardly ghost cautiously approached, hovering by the edge of the bed. gazing at her with eyes filled with affection
He longed to reach out and tuck her in with the blanket, only to realize that his ethereal form could not make contact with the physical world.
The harem spirit sighed, “Look, she’s already snoring. She must be really tired,”
Lilly had not slept all night.
Their sweetheart was tired!
Just then, the door creaked open, and Bettany entered the room with utmost care. She approached Lilly, gently covering her with a blanket and ensuring it was snugly tucked, making sure she would not catch a cold.
Bettany sat by Lilly’s side for a brief moment, observing her serenely, before quietly departing the room. The harem ghost remarked, “The old lady may have a stern demeanor, but her heart is truly tender.” The unlucky ghost nodded in agreement and whispered. “Let’s go. We shouldn’t disturb her,”
A few mischievous ghosts cautiously slipped into the jar of souls, vanishing from sight.
Inside the jar of souls, the ghost dressed in a wedding gown eagerly addressed the few returning figures, asking. “Did you get any candy?”
The harem spirit playfully stuck out his tongue, replying. “None left, we’ve eaten everything. Do you want us to spit out some bad aura for you?”
The female ghost in the wedding dress displayed a look of disgust and exclaimed, “Hey!”
The cowardly ghost turned his attention to a younger ghost who approached, gently patting her lite
as he spoke, “I didn’t bring you any candy this time, but I left one for you before,”
He handed the young ghost a lollipop, and with joy, she happily ran off, clutching the sweet treat.
The ghost in the wedding dress stared anxiously and asked, “What about Lilly’s family?”
The cowardly ghost smiled and replied, “I don’t have any more candy, but the unfortunate ghost does,” The female ghost in the wedding dress hurriedly approached the unlucky ghost, asking eagerly. “Do you have any candy from Lilly?”
The unfortunate ghost shook their head vigorously, saying, “No, none at all!”
The female ghost regarded the cowardly ghost with suspicion.
What kind of person… No, ghost is this?
Taking someone else’s candy as a favor is utterly shameless!
The cowardly ghost asked, “By the way, what happened to the hypocrite ghost who was locked in there?”
The ghost in the wedding dress shook her head and explained, “He admitted his mistake to Lilly, but she perceived him as a liar and refused to acknowledge his wrongdoing.”
The harem spirit pressed his lips tightly and stated, “I’ll go check on the mandala behind us. The jar of souls is not sufficient: the mandala is malnourished. I need to find something to nurture it…
Considering the hypocrite possesses an abundance of evil spirits, it shouldn’t matter if we slightly disturb the mandala, rightr
The unlucky ghost nodded in agreement and remarked, “I’ll go tend to the buried bones in the rear. I’ve
been nurturing them patiently, and they require an infusion of malevolent spirits; otherwise, I won’t be able to play cards next time…”
All the ghosts proceeded towards the small dark house.
Their sweetheart was still young, and honestly, they were too kind-hearted.
As long as they did not touch the trigger that set her off, the captured evil spirits would not be instantly eradicated.
However, the harem spirit and the other ghosts believed that the hypocrite ghost should not remain there. They were not afraid of genuine villains, but hypocrites were a different story. This statement was no joke.
Lilly, Josh, and Drake slept throughout the entire afternoon and didn’t wake up until dinnertime, feeling hungry.
They went to bed soon after having their meal.
The following day, Bettany rose early to prepare breakfast. Despite having servants in the house, she preferred to take charge herself.
As the weather grew colder, when the elderly woman stepped outside her room, she noticed the strong wind and promptly returned to fetch a coat.
Observing this, Hugh took off his old-fashioned wool coat and placed it on her shoulders.
A sudden warmth enveloped Bettany as she gathered her coat, smiling at Hugh she remarked, “Aren’t you feeling cold?”
Hugh crossed his arms and replied without hesitation. “It’s just too chilly… so I switched to a down jacket.” After their conversation, Bettany went inside to retrieve the down jacket. She noticed that it was snugly worn, with the zipper pulled up to the neck.
Satisfied with the fit, she nodded and exclaimed, “Perfect! It’s not cold anymore!”
Bettany’s smile froze.
What a sly person!
He had given her the coat because he wanted to switch to a warmer one!
“Ah!” The elderly woman angrily smacked the old man’s head with her bare hands and stormed off.
Hugh stood there, frozen, rubbing his head.
What just happened?
He had only intended to show thoughtfulness by giving her the coat.
Why was Bettany mad at him?
While still rubbing his head, the old man muttered to himself, stretched his arms, and left the room
No Wonder You’re the Foolish Ghost
feeling refreshed.
As Anthony got up, he saw his mother mad while she prepared breakfast. He then glanced at his father. who seemed unfazed while watching the news.
“Did you make Mom mad again?” he asked out of habit.
Hugh adjusted his glasses and looked at the dining area from beneath them.
“Your mother’s menopause seems to be lasting forever, and she resorts to violence every time. If it’s alright, let her vent. When someone’s in a bad mood, they should let it out,”
Anthony replied calmly, “Yeah,”
Hugh continued to watch the news but suddenly furrowed his brow and raised his head once more. “No, I just wanted to ask, did I do something wrong? Why does your mother always lose her temper at me for no apparent reason?”
Anthony pondered, thinking to himself, “Are you sure you didn’t say anything wrong?”
However, he refrained from saying that and responded lightly. “Do you think I can answer that question?” Hugh sighed, “You’re right. You’ve been single for forty years. I can’t blame you.”
Anthony was speechless.
