The wardrobe door creaked open.
Lu Chengbao raised his head—and came face to face with “Fan Wujiao” standing outside the cabinet.
He nearly lost his soul on the spot.
A black-robed, ghost-faced envoy stood before him. The eerie green fanged mask swayed in the dim candlelight.
“Ahhhhh—Ghost!!”
He collapsed onto the floor, and a warm stream instantly spread through his trousers, soaking a large patch.
【Hahaha, he peed himself already? That’s just the warm-up. The real show is still ahead!】
【Host, this sinister vibe of yours… I like it!】
“Lu Chengbao!”
Feng Zexuan’s voice turned deep and hoarse.
She shook the iron chain in her hand, making a chilling clatter.
“The King of Hell has called your name. I’ve come to take your soul!”
Lu Chengbao hugged his clothes, trembling like a sieve.
“No… no! I don’t want to die!”
Feng Zexuan unfolded a “Book of Life and Death” filled with black mist and began reading out his crimes.
“Lu Chengbao, age seven. Accomplice of Qian Xiaofu. Repeatedly harassed noblewomen of the capital…”
She paused deliberately, her tone turning even colder.
“Just for harassment of innocent women alone—you have three hundred and seventy-two recorded offenses!”
“Your sins are too numerous. The Eighteen Levels of Hell have already reserved a place for you!”
“Boiled in oil! Climb blade mountains! Burn in fire seas! Pierced by needle forests!”
“And most importantly—” she dragged her voice out, “you will be reborn as a woman in your next life, so you can taste what it’s like to be bullied!”
Lu Chengbao rolled his eyes in terror, mucus and tears covering his face.
“Waaah… I was wrong! I won’t dare again! Ghost Grandpa, please spare me!”
Next room.
A few officials crouched around a pre-drilled hole in the wall, watching with great interest.
A Ministry of Revenue officer whispered, “Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!”
Another nodded eagerly. “That posture, that tone—even the top actresses in opera troupes can’t match it!”
Lu Wenbin felt heartache for his son, but when he thought about the boy’s misdeeds, he also felt this punishment was long overdue.
“Seeing your repentance is quite fast. This envoy will give you one last chance.”
Feng Zexuan tossed a booklet directly into his arms.
“This is the Male Virtue Behavioral Code. One hundred rules! Violate even one, and I’ll take your dog life immediately!”
Lu Chengbao trembled as he opened it and read under the candlelight.
“Rule One: Maintain a distance of three feet from women. No improper actions allowed…”
“Rule Two: No physical contact with any part of a woman’s body…”
“Rule Three: No indecent speech…”
“Rule Four: When meeting female elders, bow respectfully and greet properly…”
There were a full hundred detailed rules. Even what counted as “indecent speech” was explained with examples.
Lu Chengbao’s eyes spun. His hands trembled violently as he kept nodding.
“I… I will obey! Not a single rule broken! Ghost Grandpa, please rest assured!”
【Hmph. With me around, what problem can’t be handled?】
“Very good. I will be watching you.”
Feng Zexuan lowered her voice again.
“Read it aloud ten times every morning and night! The entire household must hear it!”
“Also copy it ten times daily until you memorize it completely!”
“If I find out you bully another girl again—”
Boom!
A blinding bolt of lightning struck from outside the window, hitting Lu Chengbao’s bed precisely.
The bed shattered instantly, wood splinters flying everywhere.
Lu Chengbao’s scream stuck in his throat. He froze, eyes trembling uncontrollably.
The officials watching also shuddered.
“My heavens! It can really summon thunder!”
“The Northern Border Prince’s methods… are divine!”
“This kid will never dare again!”
Feng Zexuan leaned close to his ear, her voice icy like frost.
“The next one… will be your head.”
Lu Chengbao could only nod blankly, completely terrified.
Very satisfied with the result, Feng Zexuan turned away. Her figure gradually faded from his gaze.
At the doorway, she left one final chilling sentence:
“Remember. I am everywhere.”
With that, the figure of “Fan Wujiao” disappeared completely.
Lu Chengbao finally collapsed, fainting on the spot, still clutching the Male Virtue Behavioral Code tightly in his arms.
After leaving, Feng Zexuan slipped into Lu Wan’er’s room.
The little girl lay curled up on the bed, brows tightly furrowed, tears still at the corners of her eyes.
Feng Zexuan exchanged a “Body Recovery Pill,” which rapidly healed injuries and promoted growth.
She opened the girl’s mouth and placed the pill inside.
It dissolved instantly. The girl’s frown eased, and her complexion became healthier.
Then Feng Zexuan exchanged Women’s Health Knowledge and several films about female awakening, turning them into dreams and planting them into the girl’s mind.
【Sleep well. When you wake up, you’ll understand everything. No one will bully you again.】
She then headed toward her next target—the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
【System, isn’t Qian Xiaofu afraid of insects? Perfect. Let’s give him a little “surprise.”】
【Go for it, Host! Crush that brat! Let him understand what karma means!】
Feng Zexuan’s lips curled as her figure vanished into the night.
The group of peeping officials had already been completely conquered by her “divine abilities.”
One by one, they were flushed with excitement, itching to brag about what they had just witnessed.
“Quick, follow her! Next scene!”
“Don’t miss it!”
A group of ministers followed sneakily with small stools in hand, looking absurdly comical.
Qian Manor, Qian Xiaofu’s courtyard.
Feng Zexuan climbed over the wall and saw Qian Xiaofu sprawled on the bed, snoring loudly.
【System, give me a bunch of cockroaches!】
【Roger! Cockroach illusion generated—high-definition, ultra-realistic!】
With a wave of her hand, the illusion activated.
Corners of the room, under the bed, through door cracks—countless cockroaches crawled out, black and dense.
Qian Xiaofu, still half asleep, felt something itchy on his face. He reached out instinctively and opened his eyes.
“AAAHHH!!”
A scream pierced the night sky, nearly lifting the roof.
The bed, walls, and floor were covered in glossy black cockroaches crawling at terrifying speed.
“Help! Help!!”
He jumped up frantically, stomping, but there was no crushing sensation beneath his feet. Instead, cockroaches crawled up his legs.
Feng Zexuan then added illusions of spiders, centipedes, and caterpillars.
The entire room turned into a nightmare insect nest.
Qian Xiaofu collapsed to the ground, his trousers instantly wet.
At that moment, he felt something above him.
A giant spider hung upside down from the beam, its eight blood-red eyes staring at him.
“Qian Xiaofu! You wicked brat who bullies women!”
“We of the insect clan will bring justice!”
“We’ll eat you piece by piece so you can taste what it’s like to lose humanity!”
It opened its mouth wide, preparing to swallow him.
“No! Nooooo!”
Qian Xiaofu curled into a ball.
Feng Zexuan recited his crimes again in a cold tone.
“Do you admit your wrongs?”
“I was wrong! Please spare me!” he cried.
“Very well,” she said, “I will reluctantly forgive you.”
She handed him another copy of the Male Virtue Code, repeating the same conditions as before.
“You will study this together with Lu Chengbao. Monitor each other. If either of you breaks a rule—”
She paused deliberately.
“I will send ten thousand spider babies to crawl into your nose.”
“And they will slowly eat you from the inside out.”
With a wave of her hand, countless tiny spiderlings appeared, densely packed.
Qian Xiaofu turned pale, trembling as he accepted the book and nodded repeatedly.
“I will study it properly! I’ll recite it every day!”
The officials hiding nearby got goosebumps all over.
“This… this is terrifying!”
“I’ve never seen methods like this before!”
“Is the Northern Border Prince… a divine being?”
Qian Huaide’s legs were shaking uncontrollably.
He silently vowed to fully support the Northern Border Prince from now on.
Because he had already… completely submitted.
