Jiang Yiqing stayed quiet for a moment before finally saying, "Sorry. She's not here."

Hearing that, Chi Zhisen's arms dropped helplessly. He mumbled, "No way. I felt it. She's definitely here."

Jiang Yiqing was at a loss for words. Honestly, Chi Zhisen's instincts were pretty sharp. But Shang Yi's expression had been firm, without even a hint of hesitation. He could only shake his head. "Let it go. She wants you to let go."

Chi Zhisen looked desperate. "Just let me see her once. Just once, and I'll let go..."

Jiang Yiqing sighed. "She's already gone. The living have to move on. If you keep drowning in the past, it'll only make the pain worse. She wants you to look forward."

Chi Zhisen hung his head, silent, like he just couldn't accept it.

Jiang Yiqing shook his head, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

After walking out of the police station, he looked at Shang Yi beside him and sighed. "Honestly... I could've let you two meet. It wouldn't have harmed him."

Shang Yi actually had a way to let Chi Zhisen see her. After all, she wasn't just a normal soul—her lingering resentment gave her power. But still, what good would it do for a living person to meet a ghost?

As for what Jiang Yiqing had said, Shang Yi had been a little tempted. But she quickly pushed that feeling down and shook her head. "No. I can't stay by his side forever. If we met just once, how's that any different from drinking poison to quench thirst?"

It would only make it harder for Chi Zhisen to move on—and that wasn't what she wanted. She wanted him to keep going forward, like before. She wanted him to forget her, to start a new relationship. That was the right thing.

Since Shang Yi insisted, Jiang Yiqing could only nod. "You're right."

Neither of them noticed that, not far away, Chi Zhisen was staring at Jiang Yiqing's back, eyes burning bright.

Ah Yi was still here. She was still here.

He had to find a way—some way—to bring her back to life. Thinking that, his hands shook as he pulled out his phone.

After sending Shang Yi off, Jiang Yiqing got some good news: after so many days, the Ancestral Temple was finally finished!

The moment he heard, he couldn't wait and rushed up the mountain. From a distance, he could already see the grand and towering temple.

The engineer ghost looked super proud of his work. He was an old Qing dynasty ghost, and say what you will, the guy had taste. The temple design blended modern touches with traditional Chinese architecture. Red and gold together—bold, but not tacky. Instead, it gave off this mysterious vibe that was hard to describe.

From the outside, it looked majestic. But once you stepped inside, the carved beams and painted rafters gave it a kind of solemn authority that made people instinctively feel respect.

In that moment, Jiang Yiqing really felt that all the money had been worth it.

Actually, thinking back, most of the money had gone into materials for the temple. Labor costs? Basically nothing. So yeah, definitely worth it!

"What do you think?" the engineer ghost asked, hands on his hips. Seeing the stunned look on Jiang Yiqing's face, his nonexistent tail was practically wagging.

Oh—right. Ghosts don't have tails.

Jiang Yiqing couldn't even find the words. He just said, "It looks awesome!"

Yeah... that made him sound kinda uncultured.

But hey, there was no one else around, so no one to laugh at him.

Once the Ancestral Temple was finished, Jiang Yiqing had the statue of the Ancestor moved inside. The engineer ghost, being a ghost himself, didn't dare go near the statue, so he kept his distance.

Jiang Yiqing lit incense in front of the statue and muttered under his breath, "Ancestor, what do you think? Pretty nice temple, huh? I guess I've at least fulfilled half your wish now, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, wisps of smoke curled around him—clearly, the Ancestor was pleased.

Jiang Yiqing's gaze fell on the stone statue again. Hmm... He was getting a bit carried away, but honestly, the statue felt a little too plain compared to the grandeur of the temple.

Was he actually thinking about making a golden statue for the Ancestor? The moment that thought popped into his head, he felt a little freaked out by himself. Seriously, he really dared to think of anything!

A gold statue? Hah, no. But the stone one clearly wasn't cutting it either. Maybe he'd have it gilded later—at least it'd look better.

Thinking that, Jiang Yiqing glanced at the statue, guiltily rubbed his nose, and quietly left.

The temple was empty right now. Once followers started showing up, there'd be no one to guide them—that clearly wouldn't work. He needed to find someone to station there.

As he was thinking about it, he ran into the engineer ghost again just outside the temple.

Now when he looked at this old Qing Dynasty ghost, Jiang Yiqing just felt satisfied. Sure, the guy was a bit stingy, but he was definitely capable!

What he didn't expect was for the engineer ghost to bring even more exciting news. "Master Jiang, our first app is finally done!"

Jiang Yiqing's eyes lit up instantly. "Show me what you've got."

The engineer ghost was also eager for feedback, so he didn't hold back at all. As soon as Jiang Yiqing opened the app on his phone, he couldn't hold in his reaction—uh... why did the icon look so creepy?

Unlike WeChat's green-and-white color scheme, this one had a black background with a white icon. It gave off major horror vibes. Underneath it was a line of text: WeChat (Underworld Beta Ver.)

Jiang Yiqing went silent for a moment. Yeah, that was very underworld.

He opened the app and saw that compared to regular WeChat, this underworld version was super bare-bones. Aside from basic add-friend and chat features, there was just one other function: something called "Shake."

"What's this 'Shake' thing?" Jiang Yiqing was curious. He shook his phone, and the screen popped up with a bloody line of text:
Match with 'Grave No. 888's Spinning Genius Head'?

What the hell?! Jiang Yiqing's eye twitched and he quickly hit "No."

Right then, the engineer ghost beamed. "Spinning Genius Head is me! Let's add each other."

Jiang Yiqing: "..."

He gave a dry cough, sheepishly covered the screen, and tried shaking again. The same message popped up:
Match with 'Grave No. 888's Spinning Genius Head'?

This time, he hit yes. But really? Both times it matched with the engineer ghost?
