LOL, the Haunted House Proposed to Me

[Chapter comments are open. Coming soon: Spare Me! My Taoist Master Wife Has Chopped My Blossoms Again]

Before he died, Great-grandpa left a will granting Zhang Moxi an old mansion, on the condition that she could live there but never sell it.

The old mansion was steeped in antiquity. Apart from being a little cold and having villagers too afraid to go near it, it even had a modern bathroom, so Zhang Moxi was quite comfortable there, if only the old-fashioned man who claimed to own the place hadn't fought her for territory.

He wore a red-and-white high-collared robe every day. His bearing was aloof, his face strikingly beautiful, and his gaze sinister. He kept wandering around in front of her, adjusting the temperature without permission, and even deliberately turned on the faucet at midnight to keep her awake.

Damn it, he could even use magic to change the layout inside and make her get lost!

He also suddenly appeared behind her and mocked her for playing on her phone: "Indulging in idle amusements ruins one's ambition. That soul-stealing demon should be subdued with talismans and then destroyed."

He even looked down on her spaghetti-strap dress: "The world has fallen into depravity. Are fabrics so scarce these days?"

Unable to take it any longer, she took her guitar to his bedroom door and made enough noise to ruin his sleep.

His long, elegant fingers pressed down on her strings. In a sinister voice, he said, "Would you be willing to clasp your fingers with mine, cross the long river of life together, and join your heart with mine to kindle a brilliant future?"①

Zhang Moxi roared, "Speak human!"

"Will you marry me?"

"Dream on!"

She had always thought they were both warriors fueled by pure hatred. But one night, when monsters chased her and she fled back to the old mansion in a sorry state, he bent down to smooth her disheveled hair.

"I'll teach those reckless fools a lesson for you, my wife."

A gorgeous, flirtatious spirit-medium with a bold, brash personality x an old-fashioned, courteous evil spirit and pure-hatred warrior

Qiu Yi is the star Taoist master of the Tian Ling Ling Neighborhood Committee. Her nickname is "Doll," because she likes wearing Lolita dresses to catch demons. When she went demon-hunting with her master, someone ambushed her and stole her heavenly soul, turning her into a violent, stone-faced cutie.

Her master asked a powerful demon friend for help getting her heavenly soul back, then arranged for her to stay at the friend's house.

The friend's son was a peach blossom demon, stunningly beautiful and flamboyant. The day they met, he wore a black shirt embroidered with peach blossoms, with a little of his collarbone showing.

He sneered at his father. "Old man, are you an idiot? Why bring a Taoist master into our house?"

Without a word, Qiu Yi drew her sword and sliced the top of his head, cutting off a peach blossom petal.

His face turned black as the bottom of a pot.

But that didn't stop Qiu Yi from going out to catch demons and dispel evil in her Lolita dresses by day, then chopping at the peach blossom demon at night. She couldn't be happier.

Mu Xuandu and Qiu Yi were sworn enemies. He wanted her to fend for herself at home and absolutely refused to share a space with her.

He even had to lock his bedroom door at night, because Qiu Yi might sleepwalk in and try to chop him up. At this rate, his branches would be bare sooner or later.

But peach blossoms have to release their fragrance for a few days each month, and Qiu Yi loved that scent. She would barge into his room in the middle of the night and hug him to sleep so she wouldn't sleepwalk.

His nerve grew steadily thicker. Looking at her innocent eyes, he asked, "Want to kiss me? I taste as sweet as peach blossom candy."

Later, after Qiu Yi got her heavenly soul back, she turned her back on him. His eyes reddened with anger. "You kissed me. You have to take responsibility!"
