    "Whether I'm ugly or not is none of your business!" The speaker was a long-haired female ghost. I carefully compared her from head to toe to one of the corpses on the ground. I wouldn't say they were 100% similar, but they were close. "The audience's eyes are discerning, and their evaluations are objective!" I said to her seriously. "If it's not us, the audience, who else can judge?!" "Me!" The voice came from behind us; it must have been a man. "Who are you?" I couldn't help but ask the voice. "Her man!" "Whose man?" I glanced at the woman whose arm the ghost woman was tightly gripping. "Our man!" The woman and the ghost answered in unison. "You can see him?" I asked the woman curiously. "I can't!" The woman shook her head. "But I can smell his scent!" "Scent... Scent?!" "The unique scent of a stinky man!" "Uncle, she said you smell!" I looked at the uncle with a mischievous grin. "Am I smelly?" The uncle pointed at the corpse on the ground. "But even if I smell bad, I'm not as smelly as that guy's body!" "A man who doesn't smell bad isn't a man!" The male ghost said seriously. "So you came here specifically to find your own body?!" The uncle asked. "Not looking for it!" The male ghost rolled his eyes at him. "Are you going to raise me?" "I never raise idle ghosts, especially scum like you!" "Scum?" The male ghost sighed. "Having seen the ocean, other waters are nothing; having seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are nothing... I'm just more sentimental than most people!"?
