After hearing the foolish ghost's words, all the ghosts found that they had finished eating their candy.
The harem spirit slurped his fingers, shook his head, and remarked, "Truly, you are not undeserving of the name foolish ghost. You are indeed a fool."
Many men share this sentiment, believing that they are drained by external pressures and already fulfill their duties as the family's pillars.
Matters concerning women in the family were regarded as trivial, and if they can deceive them, they will deceive them. If deception fails, they opt to evade the issues, thinking that by not confronting them directly, no problems will arise.
Unbeknownst to them, even trivial matters could accumulate and transform into irreparable, significant problems.
The cowardly ghost remarked, "Ultimately, your tragedy stems from your actions. Frankly speaking, you played a significant role in the deterioration of your family, including your wife and mother,"
The marriage did not sever familial ties, but some individuals find themselves unable to maintain a separate household due to financial constraints, feeling helpless in the face of reality.
Others, resembling cowards, exhibit laziness and avoidance. They adopt an indifferent attitude towards the deteriorating relationship between their wife and mother, either because they lack the desire to control it or find themselves incapable of doing so.
However, if he genuinely wished to resolve it, how can he refrain from solving it?
The cowardly ghost concluded, "You brought this upon yourself,"
The harem spirit chimed in, "You got what you deserved!"
The unlucky ghost joined in, "You deserved it!"
The foolish ghost remained silent.
He stared at the other ghosts and said, "And what about each of you? Did you believe you deserved your respective fates when you were alive?"
The harem spirit giggled, "That's right, I deserved it,"
The cowardly ghost hushed them, "Shh..."
At some point, Lilly drifted into a deep slumber.
Her tiny arms and legs were sprawled out, creating an adorable sight, and she snored softly like a contented piglet.
The cowardly ghost cautiously approached, hovering by the edge of the bed, gazing at her with eyes filled with affection.
He longed to reach out and tuck her in with the blanket, only to realize that his ethereal form could not make contact with the physical world.
The harem spirit sighed, "Look, she's already snoring. She must be really tired,"
Lilly had not slept all night.
Their sweetheart was tired!
Just then, the door creaked open, and Bettany entered the room with utmost care. She approached Lilly, gently covering her with a blanket and ensuring it was snugly tucked, making sure she would not catch a cold.
Bettany sat by Lilly's side for a brief moment, observing her serenely, before quietly departing the room.
The harem ghost remarked, "The old lady may have a stern demeanor, but her heart is truly tender."
The unlucky ghost nodded in agreement and whispered, "Let's go. We shouldn't disturb her,"
A few mischievous ghosts cautiously slipped into the jar of souls, vanishing from sight.
Inside the jar of souls, the ghost dressed in a wedding gown eagerly addressed the few returning figures, asking, "Did you get any candy?"
The harem spirit playfully stuck out his tongue, replying, "None left, we've eaten everything. Do you want us to spit out some bad aura for you?"
The female ghost in the wedding dress displayed a look of disgust and exclaimed, "Hey!"
The cowardly ghost turned his attention to a younger ghost who approached, gently patting her little head as he spoke, "I didn't bring you any candy this time, but I left one for you before,"
He handed the young ghost a lollipop, and with joy, she happily ran off, clutching the sweet treat.
The ghost in the wedding dress stared anxiously and asked, "What about Lilly's family?"
The cowardly ghost smiled and replied, "I don't have any more candy, but the unfortunate ghost does,"
The female ghost in the wedding dress hurriedly approached the unlucky ghost, asking eagerly, "Do you have any candy from Lilly?"
The unfortunate ghost shook their head vigorously, saying, "No, none at all!"
The female ghost regarded the cowardly ghost with suspicion.
What kind of person… No, ghost is this?
