Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Call Me Heavenly Fairy Sister

Jin Fan nodded, agreeing with Shen Zhiyao’s deduction. Suddenly, as if he’d thought of something, he quickly asked, “Ancestral Grandma, could you suffer a backlash too? Could you end up with the fate of a heavenly cursed lone star, doomed to a lifetime of misfortune?”

’Speaking of which, I can already picture the scene: Shen Zhiyao in her old age, crippled, freezing to death in a pile of garbage.’

Shen Zhiyao slapped him on the head. “Get those inappropriate thoughts out of your head!”

’Back in the day, I was a prodigy, the most outstanding State Preceptor of the younger generation. How could I possibly suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao?’

Jin Huai Zhong was a man who had seen his share of turmoil, so he recovered quickly. He asked urgently, “So what should we do now? Can the fates be swapped back?”

Jin Huai Zhong’s attitude had improved considerably.

Shen Zhiyao said lightly, “Swapping the fates back is certainly not a problem. However, fate is intrinsically linked to life. Jin Fan has already had his fate swapped once, which has already damaged his vital energy. If we do it again, we must be extremely cautious and cannot afford the slightest mistake. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, Jin Fan…”

She glanced at Jin Fan. “He could die.”

“AHHHH!” Hearing this, Jin Fan stomped his feet in terror. “Then what do we do? Do I just have to live with this fate? I don’t want to freeze to death in a garbage pile when I’m thirty! That’s too tragic!”

Shen Zhiyao said, “The best solution is to have Jin Muyang in the same room as you, and I will perform the procedure to swap your fates back. This prevents any accidents that could happen from you two being too far apart during the swap.”

Jin Fan asked tentatively, “Ancestral Grandma, what’s the success rate for this procedure?”

Shen Zhiyao saw right through him. “Relax. As long as I’m here, you won’t die.”

Jin Fan said fawningly, “Ancestral Grandma, I believe you have the skills! It’s fine, even if I die, I’ll accept it. After all, to die for a beauty is a romantic death for any ghost! If I were to die at your hands, I’d feel like my whole life was worth it!”

After saying this, he grew impatient. “Dad, hurry up and get Jin Muyang over here. I can’t wait to get my fate swapped back!”

Jin Huai Zhong hesitated for a moment before promising, “Let’s do it in a week. Once I’ve handled some things, I’ll call him over. This will also help us avoid tipping him off.”

Jin Fan nodded. “That makes sense. You’re much more thorough!”

Jin Huai Zhong’s eyes reddened, and he pulled Jin Fan into a hug. “Xiao Fan, Dad has wronged you. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have listened to Kang Lin’s one-sided story!”

Jin Fan was also heartbroken but forced himself to act nonchalant. “Hey, it’s no big deal! I’ve been living just fine all these years, haven’t I?”

Looking at his son’s innocent and kind appearance, Jin Huai Zhong had mixed feelings of joy and worry.

He was joyful that despite his years of neglect, his son had remained so kind, just like his own mother.

He was worried about how someone so naive could inherit his billion-dollar fortune in the future.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Jin Fan asked a few more questions about his birth mother.

Jin Huai Zhong took him to the cemetery, and the father and son paid their respects at her grave together.

Soon, Jin Huai Zhong was called away by a phone call.

Jin Fan stood before the grave, silently shedding tears. ’If my mother were still alive, would my life these past years have been so hard?’

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. “Ancestral Grandma, you can communicate between the worlds of the living and the dead. Can you let me see my mother?”

Shen Zhiyao shook her head. “It’s been so many years. She has likely reincarnated by now.”

Jin Fan let out a sound of understanding, somewhat disappointed, but he also felt it was for the best.

’If she saw what I’ve been through for the past twenty-odd years, it would break her heart!’

Thinking this, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

On the way back, it belatedly dawned on Jin Fan. “The fate swap can’t happen for another week. Dad said he needed to arrange some things. Does it really take that long to arrange a few things?”

Shen Zhiyao chuckled lightly. “It certainly doesn’t take that long to make arrangements, but it will take several days to verify the situation.”

Jin Fan froze for a moment. “What do you mean?”

“I mean, your father is a smart man. He definitely won’t just believe us based on a few words. So he’s going to do another paternity test, and he’ll have someone investigate my background.”

“I was the one who collected the hair sample, and I was the one who picked up the report. What’s there for him to be worried about?” As he said this, Jin Fan suddenly realized. “So… he doesn’t completely trust us?”

Shen Zhiyao said, “It’s fine. Let him investigate. He’ll be back anyway.”

Jin Fan was a little hurt, remaining dejected the entire way back. He still hadn’t composed himself by the time they entered the courtyard of Longfeng Villa.

Not long after entering the courtyard, he was doused with a splash of water.

The Red-clothed Ghost was holding a hose and said irritably, “Damn it! Are you blind? Can’t you see I’m watering the plants? If you’re trying to scam someone, get the hell out of my sight and do it somewhere else!”

After the two ghosts in the villa became Shen Zhiyao’s cleaners, neither of them wanted to work. At first, they even argued over who was doing more work than the other.

Later, Shen Zhiyao put them on a schedule, one person per day.

Today was the Red-clothed Ghost’s turn. Her Spells were weak and the work was tiring, so she always felt like she was doing more than the white-clothed ghost, which made her exceptionally furious.

So she just wanted to finish her chores and go cultivate—the Cultivation Technique Shen Zhiyao had given them was incredible. In just a few days, her Cultivation had grown by leaps and bounds, and she could now even appear under the sun.

Before, whenever the two sisters stood in the sunlight, they would feel a burning pain as if they were on fire.

Now they had overcome that difficulty and could run freely in the sunlight.

Jin Fan was soaked to the bone. Not daring to argue with a ghost, he could only trudge miserably toward the villa.

Halfway there, Shen Zhiyao grabbed him. “Xinxin, apologize!”

The Red-clothed Ghost didn’t dare to talk back to Shen Zhiyao, so she reluctantly said, “Sorry!”

Then she muttered, “So unlucky, having to apologize!”

Seeing Shen Zhiyao look over, she quickly explained, “I didn’t say anything!”

Shen Zhiyao glanced at Jin Fan again and said, “You go back first. I’ll have the Red-clothed Ghost follow you.”

Jin Fan: “Huh?”

Red-clothed Ghost: “Are you kidding me? I’m the one who got scammed, and now I have to follow him? On what grounds?”

Shen Zhiyao looked at the Red-clothed Ghost and explained, “He will be in danger for the next seven days. You’ll follow him and act as his bodyguard. In return, you’ll be excused from your cleaning duties three times.”

Only then did the Red-clothed Ghost reluctantly agree.

The moment Shen Zhiyao went inside, her expression changed completely. “You idiot, you should be secretly thrilled to have a Demi Immortal like me as your bodyguard! But let me warn you, don’t you dare fall for me! After all, how could a pheasant ever be worthy of a Phoenix!”

Jin Fan curled his lip awkwardly. “Heh, with your ugly looks, you think I’d fall for you? Stop dreaming, will you?”

The Red-clothed Ghost’s face instantly darkened. “You said I’m… ugly?”

Jin Fan recalled the time he was beaten for misspeaking and felt a wave of fear. He quickly corrected himself, “A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! You’re absolutely right. A pheasant like me shouldn’t harbor any inappropriate thoughts about a Phoenix like you. May I ask what I should call you?”

The Red-clothed Ghost gathered her long hair to her chest, then tossed it back confidently. “Since you’re asking so politely, you can call me Heavenly Fairy Sister. That’s what they call great beauties on the internet.”

Jin Fan: “…”

’A whole bunch of insults for her formed in my mind, but every time the words reached my lips, I didn’t dare say them out loud, terrified she’d grab me and give me a beating.’
