Sixteen-year-old Ye Jinyan stumbled upon the ghost of a Tiance soldier in a hidden realm behind his family's mountain manor, and, by sheer coincidence, formed a spirit-servant pact with him. Most spirit servants wait on their masters hand and foot, but this one of his acted like a pampered lord. It was hard to tell who was ordering whom around...

The ghost said, "I'm already dead. Can't you cut me a little slack?"

Ye Jinyan: "Why should I? It's not like I killed you! Why should I go easy on you?"

The ghost looked up at the sky and sighed mournfully. "Ah, I remember when you first arrived. You called me 'Senior' every other word. Now you've got a temper and think you're something special. The first thing out of your mouth is..."

Ye Jinyan: "You old ghost!"
