### Chapter 95: The Difference Between Bai Yu and Sister
In the room with over ten positions, two were still vacant, just as Bai Yu had thought.
A place filled with a bunch of uncontrollable evil ghosts—so who brought these offerings here, and who even cleaned and arranged everything at home?
Sure, this group of ghosts still remembered their past lives and even knew they were ghosts, but expecting a bunch of ghosts to handle these tasks was simply unrealistic.
At first, she suspected that guy named Zhao Yingcai, but that dude had already been eliminated by A She Godmother. So, the remaining living human was the key to it all. Holding a ceremony and maintaining control amidst a group of evil ghosts? That was no easy feat.
Bai Yu had her speculations about this person’s identity.
If all went according to plan, the talismans from East Village originated from this person’s hands.
It was also this person’s idea to bring Zhao Mingyue back; they wanted to use her to strike some deal with the Evil God.
And since this person could draw talismans and tap into A She Godmother’s power, it also meant that, in some sense, they were the Evil God’s spokesperson from the previous village.
Bai Yu had already begun to have doubts in her mind when she confirmed that the talismans from East Village came from the same person.
In short, this guy was no pushover; Bai Yu suspected he alone had the power of two Evil Gods.
“I can handle the birthday stuff,” Zhao Mingyue chimed in after hearing Bai Yu’s analysis, scanning everyone present, trying to figure out who was missing.
“But first, I have some questions for you.”
“My parents’ d*ath—do you have anything to do with it? The last time I saw them, they were talking to you!”
“And where is my sister? Give her back to me!”
Zhao Mingyue was feeling a bit anxious and couldn’t help herself as she spoke.
“My sister and I haven’t done anything wrong to you! If you want to curry favor with the Godmother, use your own kids instead! What’s with bullying us?”
“Always yapping away like you think the Godmother is actually listening to you.”
“But when that old j*rk asks you for your loved ones, why are you all scared?”
“Don’t you claim to be devout every day? Hmph, what a bunch of nonsense!”
“You’re just trying to exploit the Godmother’s power for benefits that don’t even exist!”
“If you were so devout, why not cut off your own children’s ears and mouths?!”
“I bet it’s because you’re not devout enough that the Godmother punished you and turned you into the ghostly mess you are now.”
“Since you still have some sense and memory, I don’t believe you can’t see what you’ve become. I refuse to believe you’re truly satisfied with this so-called immortality!”
“Speak up! Open those eyes sealed with wax and tell me, are you really happy with your eternal life?”
“Don’t believe reality, huh? Want me to talk more? Fine! Let me tell you, you’re just a bunch of dog lackeys—eternally alive but can’t truly live—perpetually trapped in this dog-like existence!”
“What do you think your grandchildren will think of you like this?”
“When those kids call you grandpa and grandma, do you think you can muster up the courage to reply with a grunt in your current state?”
It turns out, talking smack really can help conquer fear! Zhao Mingyue couldn’t stop her tirade, making the old ghosts only seethe in anger, causing the lightbulbs to flicker faster and the cold wind to pick up a bit more.
Honestly, Zhao Mingyue’s words wouldn’t work on your average ghost, but for these ones, they were like daggers piercing right through!
As she scolded them, Zhao Mingyue felt more confident.
After all, Sister Yu had her back! If they got mad and wanted to attack, well, if they couldn’t take a hit, then it would just be a loss for them—call it Sister Yu’s loss, alright?
So Zhao Mingyue wasn’t finished yet.
She even mentally connected with Bai Yu, asking what kind of words she should use to provoke these ghosts, then shatter their defenses before finally giving them hope.
Then, with Bai Yu’s guidance and her own flair, she continued:
“What’s wrong? Did I hit a nerve?”
“With you all turned into immortal dog lackeys, you’re still worthless! You were stepped on in life, and now you’re still being stepped on even in d*ath.”
“Right, just like that! Keep glaring at me with your angry eyes.”
“You’re jealous, you envy me! You’re thinking, why was I chosen to be a Goddess since childhood while you all ended up as rotting corpses?”
“I suggest you use your dwindling strength to maintain some clarity because I can save you!”
“Wanna turn back into a living person?!”
Just those few simple words froze several wax corpses and evil ghosts that were ready to explode.
“I grew up here, and I bet you’ve studied me more than my own parents did, so you should know—I’ve always been timid, and I’m scared of you all!”
“I know your secrets, and yes, I’m terrified of you! But guess what? You might want to think about why I came back.”
“Since I dared to come back and talk to you like this, don’t you find it strange?”
“Let me tell you, I found a really powerful God!”
“She can protect me at all times, and with her power, she can easily wipe you out, so I’m not scared!”
“The reason I returned is that I know what you’ve become, and I know it was done by one of my cousins.”
“Am I right? It was him.”
“And let me tell you, I have a way to save you.”
“Because you have something I want! Just tell me where my sister is and help me find her, and I’ll help you break free.”
“You’re still my elders after all, not outsiders.”
“How about this? I’ll save one of you first to prove my God’s powers, so you all can believe it.”
“Who will it be? You choose.”
After saying that, Zhao Mingyue went silent, and the flickering lights in the room calmed down, proving that her words had actually resonated.
Even Bai Yu couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you learn that?”
“Ahaha, I picked it up from a novel where the protagonist was a villain. This is how he used to trick people! But you can’t blame me completely; after all, you pointed me in this direction!”
Zhao Mingyue felt her words were pretty ridiculous and overly dramatic, but she couldn’t deny that she felt a little embarrassed.
But for her sister’s whereabouts, she was willing to endure!
Her sister was her last remaining family, well, her last family—before Bai Yu came into the picture. But that didn’t mean she didn’t want her sister anymore just because Bai Yu was around.
After all, a sister and a friend like Bai Yu were not the same.
Bai Yu fell silent for a moment. “Your decision is right. These ghosts are out of sorts and can’t tell reality from lies. Maybe you’ll succeed.”
