But she still got dragged back by him—and this time, he injected her with some addictive drug, turning her into a wreck—neither fully human nor fully ghost.

All just to make her obey him!

Li Ge took things even further, tormenting her even more viciously. In the end, when he got busy bringing up a new recruit and had no time to bother with her—

You Li, in a rare moment of clarity, jumped off a tall building in utter despair.

"No wonder your name sounded familiar... So you're that You Li."

A few years ago, a girl group member named You Li had made headlines for drug use and later jumping off a building.

Back then, when her fans heard the news, most of them turned their backs on her and even started trashing her online.

Who would've thought the truth behind it was something like this.

"If Li Ge's doing drugs, that's already a criminal offense. As long as we find proof, we can totally get him thrown in jail!"

You Li's eyes turned red as she shook her head. "It's no use. Li Ge is super careful. He never leaves anything incriminating out in the open. After I died, the police did interrogate him, but they couldn't find any drugs or anything suspicious at his place."

Shen Huo said, "Even cats leave paw prints. No matter how well Li Ge hides things, he'll slip up eventually. He's done so many awful things, there's no way he sleeps well at night. You go scare him—he'll spill everything."

"But he's wearing a talisman, just like the one at his house. I don't even dare get close to him."

Shen Huo smacked his own forehead, annoyed. "Right, totally forgot about that. It's fine—we just have to figure out a way to break that protective talisman."

"How do we break it?"

A sly look flashed in Shen Huo's eyes. "I don't know—but I know someone who definitely does."

"Who?" You Li asked urgently.

Yang Yiyi patted her on the shoulder. "You don't want to know. Let's go for now."

You Li didn't get why Yang Yiyi wanted to leave right now, but she couldn't beat her, so she just obediently followed her out of Shen Huo's place.

Shen Huo glanced at the time on his phone—it was already 4 PM. He quickly threw on a mask and baseball cap and headed out.

There was a big market near the place he rented, and the veggies and meat there were super fresh.

Shen Huo spent his last two hundred yuan and came back with a bunch of groceries.

At 7 PM sharp, Yin Jiuxuan appeared in the living room.

He looked at the table full of dishes and raised an eyebrow slightly in surprise.

Tonight's meal... looked a little too fancy.

Hearing movement, Shen Huo stuck his fuzzy head out from the kitchen. "Eh, you're off work now?"

"Mm."

"Perfect timing! Just in time to eat!"

Yin Jiuxuan sat down with his usual calm demeanor.

Shen Huo placed a clay pot on the table. "Main dish tonight—braised pork with vermicelli! A specialty from my hometown—super tasty! Try it!"

Yin Jiuxuan picked up his chopsticks. His movements were so graceful, it was honestly kind of a visual treat.

He picked up a perfectly colored piece of meat, popped it in his mouth, chewed a few seconds, then shot Shen Huo a look of approval.

Shen Huo grinned and rubbed his hands together.

"So, uh, Ah Jiu, I wanted to ask you something."

Yin Jiuxuan gave him a look, signaling him to go ahead.

Shen Huo rubbed his hands nervously. "Do you know how to break a protective talisman?"

Yin Jiuxuan's brows pinched ever so slightly. Shen Huo noticed his reaction and quickly clamped a hand over his mouth.

A wave of scent hit him—food mixed with the clean, youthful scent that was uniquely Shen Huo's.

Yin Jiuxuan's ears turned red again.

Meanwhile, the source of all this chaos just kept talking, mouth going a mile a minute.

"Don't talk yet—just listen! There's this girl who was hurt by the guy who messed with me before. Now she's a vengeful ghost who refuses to reincarnate. Does stuff like that fall under the underworld's jurisdiction?"

Yin Jiuxuan helplessly removed Shen Huo's hand.

"The underworld doesn't interfere with the living world. If he killed someone, that's the human authorities' job. As for the girl who died wrongly—she's full of resentment, but it's targeted only at the person who hurt her. We won't step in. Only if she kills an innocent person would we take action."

Hearing that, Shen Huo finally relaxed.

"Hehe, Ah Jiu, here, eat up—this one's really good."

Shen Huo practically filled Yin Jiuxuan's bowl to the brim before asking, "So, is there a way to break that protection talisman?"

"There is."

"Then can you teach me? I wanna go mess that guy up!" Shen Huo looked at Yin Jiuxuan with stars in his eyes.

Yin Jiuxuan swallowed his bite of food before answering, "There are many ways to break the talisman on him, but for you, there are two of the simplest methods."

Shen Huo grabbed a stool, plopped down beside him, and pulled out a little notebook, ready to take notes.

"The first method, also the easiest, is to find a girl born in a yin year and yin month. Her blood can break it."

Shen Huo shook his head. "Where am I supposed to find a girl like that? And even if I do, what am I gonna say? 'Hey, give me some blood'? They'd totally think I'm a psycho. Before I even get the blood, I'd end up drinking tea at the police station. No way, skip that!"

"The second method is spell combat."

Now that sounded exciting.

Shen Huo rubbed his hands together. "Tell me more."

"You're still new to this world, so I'll teach you the most basic rules of spell combat. Usually, there are two types: one is person-to-person combat; the other uses an object as a medium. The first is better in terms of results, but it comes with the risk of harming yourself. The second is harder to control, but safer."

Yin Jiuxuan broke down both types and their possible dangers for him.

After thinking for a bit, Shen Huo said, "Then I'll try the second one first. Safety comes first."

Yin Jiuxuan handed over the chant for the second method. "You'll need to make a paper doll, write down the target's birth date and time on it, and use a red pen to trace it. That'll break the protection talisman. But there's a risk—just breaking the talisman won't guarantee the other person doesn't notice."

Shen Huo nodded hard.

After Yin Jiuxuan gave him both chants, he picked up his chopsticks again to eat and motioned to the overly excited Shen Huo to eat too.
