My Ghostly Romance - Chapter 40

The man stood there in silence as he looked at Yang Mi.

Yang Mi didn’t know what was going on with her. Her body seemed to be in pain but more than that, she could feel her heart beating faster and the heat coming from inside was increasingly rising up.

With her eyebrows tightly drawn, she bit her lips and tried to take the elevator where the man came from.

However, she saw that the man didn’t seem to have any intention of getting out of her way and just stood there in place as if he was paralyzed.

Wondering why he was standing there, Yang Mi looked at his face and saw an extremely handsome man staring back at her. His eyes were so dark that even the night could pale in comparison, his lips were full and sinuous, while his angular face was enough to make any man look at him in envy and women stare at him in awe and adoration.

“Excuse, me. Can I pass through?” Yang asked the man while holding her chest as it still hurts. Sadly, there was no time to admire a handsome man right now.

The man didn’t step aside. He stood there for a few more second, staring at her or whatever he was looking at. Before she could ask him again or be the the better person and step to the side, the man suddenly made way for her.

“Thank you.” Yang Mi still had to say her thanks to the stranger as she walked closer to the elevator.

After getting into the elevator, Yang Mi patted her chest, feeling the pain and heat subsiding quickly as if it never happened in the first place. As the doors of the elevator slowly closes, she looked at the man still standing outside of the elevator.

Treating this event as if it never happened to her, Yang Mi still has important matters to attend to. Gu Wang Ji’s life was still in danger and the risk of the ghost becoming a demon was also high.

Gu Wang Ji’s room was in the tenth floor. He chose this location not too far from the ground floor and considerably high too because he thought that it was the best place to at the beautiful view of the Han river and at the same, he’d feel safe staying in the middle.

Yang Mi pressed the tenth button for the floor level and waited for her turn to leave the elevator.

Soon, it was time for her to leave.

The door opened and she stepped out of the elevator with two other people. These two looked like they were a couple who wanted to stay for the night and have fun.

Yang Mi ignored them and went to step towards Gu Wang Ji’s room. If it were her past self, Yang Mi would have been able to sense the ghosts living in this place without even trying to. However, now that she had lost her memories and powers, she could only at best act like a psychic.

While walking, Yang Mi noticed something. Although she had been walking in this corridor for about a minute now, but she still felt that the corridor was longer, or more specifically, it was getting longer and the end of it was quite far.

Was this caused by another ghost?

Alarmed went through her body. Dealing with one ghost was not easy if they held too much hatred to the living. If she were to face off another one along with the ghost staying with Gu Wang Ji, she feared that she might have to go through extreme means this time.

Hoping that the situation wouldn’t turn out for worse, Yang Mi continued to walk in the corridor and past several doors.

Thankfully, whoever created an illusion to make this corridor feel like it was longer didn’t do anything harmful to her.

Finally, Yang Mi arrived in front of room number 1013.

Black tendrils of smoke that looked very much alive and like crawling hair was what Yang Mi saw from just standing right before the door. The hair like smoke moved like snakes as it wriggled around it.

A sense of irritation filled Yang Mi as soon as she saw this.

She pressed the doorbell.

Inside the room, Gu Wang Ji was already found by the female ghost. He was hiding inside the closet a few seconds ago, but because the closet was filled with clothes and dust, he couldn’t stop himself from sneezing and giving himself away.

“Ahhh!!! Help me! Save me, somebody!!” Gu Wang Ji’s body dangled in the air as the ghost held him by the neck.

“Yang Miiii!!!”

Gu Wang Ji called out the only person who knew of his situation and could save him now.

The ghost holding him paused. Her eyes blinked and snarled at Gu Wang Ji.

Gu Wang Ji smelled her breath. It smelled like death and something rotten. He almost doubled over to throw up if only he wasn’t being held by the neck now. Or should he thank the ghost for it?

Suddenly, the ghost snapped her mouth open, the two flap of lips growing wider and wider till it almost could swallow his head whole.

Seeing this, Gu Wang Ji almost pissed himself. He didn’t care if he really did because at this moment, his dignity didn’t matter. What matters is that he was now going to be an emergency food for a ghost and he could do nothing about it!

At the same time, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Both Gu Wang Ji and the ghost paused in their actions. One was screaming while another one was getting ready to swallow the other.

The banging noises of a fist against the door soon was heard and a female voice calmly said, “Gu Wang Ji, open the door.”

Gu Wang Ji almost cursed out loud. What does she mean by open the door?Can’t she understand that he could barely move her because of this ghost right before him?

Gu Wang Ji glanced at the ghost and saw that she was looking at the direction of the door with a look of intense fear.

Then, the ghost holding him by the neck suddenly turned into a wall of smoke and disappeared. Gu Wang Ji fell hard on his butt as the only thing holding him up in the air was the ghost. And without her, he could only fall to the ground.

What had just happened?
