The female ghost's face now showed her true, original appearance. The skin all over her body had rotted away, exposing muscle and blood vessels. She was covered in blood, as if someone had skinned her alive.
Li Mian was nearly scared unconscious. As the female ghost drew closer, the stench of decay and the smell of blood grew stronger.
"Ugh!" She couldn't help retching.
Seeing Li Mian retch nearby, the female ghost flew into a rage. The rotting flesh that still clung to her face quivered: "I'll skin you alive!"
Her red fingernails grew rapidly. They were about to touch Li Mian's skin when a golden light appeared in front of her, forming a barrier. The moment the female ghost's nails touched it, they bounced back.
With a scream, the female ghost was knocked to the ground. The blow made all the rotting flesh still on her body fall away, leaving nothing but a skeleton covered in muscle and blood vessels. The bloody sight made Li Mian retch again.
Li Mian, a food video blogger, was editing a video at home when she inexplicably transmigrated to an alternate historical era and became a little beggar. The girl's original owner had been abandoned by her biological parents, who considered her cursed because she had Yin-Yang Eyes. After the little beggar starved to death, Li Mian took over her body. She accidentally saved Huo Xiao's life, then used her status as his savior to extort a sum of money from him after he woke up. But the very next night after they parted, she ran into an evil spirit. Huo Xiao, who was a spirit guide, arrived in time and saved her. Only then did she learn that the original owner had Yin-Yang Eyes. She was also extremely timid and usually terrified of ghosts and monsters, so to stay alive, she decided to cling to the man.
Li Mian hiccupped through her tears: "Young master, don't leave yet! Do you need a maid to wash your clothes and cook? I'm a really good cook."
The man looked away. "You don't have to be anyone's maid. Just be yourself."
Later, when Huo Xiao ate the little girl's cooking without a hint of guilt, he thought, Hmm, this is delicious.
