Chapter 236: Eating Shrimp with Xiao Shen, and with the Stalking Ghost

An Ruxue hanged herself on this Gingko Tree and was dead for less than a day when the villagers stripped her of her clothes and stole her hairpin before burying her under this very tree.

She had thought that upon dying, she would descend to the Underworld or ascend to some Western Paradise, but to her great surprise, she found that she couldn't leave this place at all.

She, still existed.

Even though her soul could wander, by midnight, it would return to this tree.

And so, she remained here for more than four hundred years, until now.

Just like what people call Earthbound Spirits.

Time can dilute many things, including hatred.

Towards that faithless Mr. Ruan, she no longer cared; she just wanted her soul to dissipate and to enter Reincarnation as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, her soul was bound under this Gingko Tree, unable to go anywhere.

However, she could see and hear.
