Chapter 70

The homeroom teacher frowned. “Ms. Watson. You don’t understand. Lily is different…”

The homeroom teacher frowned. “Ms. Watson. You don’t understand. Lily is different…”

“In my eyes, every student is equal. I don’t judge students, and I don’t care if they come from rich or poor families. I’m only concerned about their grades.” The bell rang. Ms. Watson took her textbook and stomped out of the office.

The homeroom teacher was speechless. Ms. Watson was biased against students with low grades.

How could she say all students were equal in her eyes?

“I’m going to get into trouble sooner or later!” exclaimed the teacher who walked into the office just now.

She was worried.

“Don’t worry. Go back to class and see if Lily has come back. I’ll go around the campus to look for her,”

the homeroom teacher suggested.

Ms. Watson, on the other hand, was not bothered at all. She was only concerned about her student’s grades. Most of the students in her class scored 96 marks and above. However, only students who scored full marks were outstanding students in her eyes.

Some parents complained that Ms. Watson was too aggressive as she always gave students extra homework. However, it seemed that her students had relatively higher grades than the other classes.

For that reason, nobody dared to complain again.

Lily was so full that she could not help but burp.

Hearing that, Josh was dumbfounded. “Are you full now? So, stop following me tomorrow, okay?”

“I’m not here to eat,” Lily replied.

“Huh? So why did you keep following me then?” Josh asked, confused.

“To catch ghost spirits!” Lily exclaimed.

Hearing that, Josh was stupefied. Suddenly, he remembered the ugly female spirit he saw at the toilet yesterday.

“What? What did you say?” asked Josh. He could not help blinking his eyes.

“Are you scared, Josh?” Lily teased.

“No… I’m not scared. I’m not scared at all. I’m just curious about what you said just now… About ghost spirits…”

Hearing that, Lily chuckled. She then moved closer to Josh and whispered in his ear, “I’m here to catch the malignant spirit. She’s sprawling on Cheryl’s head and sucking aura from her neck. It’s like how one slurps a milkshake.”

Straight away, Josh imagined how one slurped a milkshake and could not help but tremble.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew over and Josh could not help shivering. He quickly covered his neck nervously.

“Can the malignant spirits come out in broad daylight?”

Lily nodded. “Yeah… Actually, there are three kinds of ghost spirits in the world. The first kinds are like the ugly female spirit that you saw yesterday. They are known as the wandering spirits. These kinds of spirits die of unnatural causes. They couldn’t reincarnate and keep wandering here and there…”

Josh’s face turned pale as soon as he heard that. He recalled the female spirit yesterday who almost gave him a fright.

Lilly continued, “The second kinds are the resentful spirits. They died tragically. They will appear out of nowhere and scare the hell out of you. The third kind are the malignant spirits. They are very fierce.

They eat people. Wandering spirits and resentful spirits can’t come out during the daytime. But malignant spirits can! They are very ferocious.”

Hearing that, Josh was rendered speechless. He quickly covered Lily’s mouth with his hand to stop her from talking.

“Okay, I’ve heard enough. Stop talking now.”

Lily could not help but mumble. She wanted to continue…

Josh looked up at the sky and saw the blazing hot sun.

There can’t be any ghost spirits wandering in such broad daylight!

Thinking of that, Josh let go of Lily.

“Josh, it’s okay that you’re scared of ghosts! There’s nothing to be ashamed of!”

“Stop talking!” Josh berated.

“Josh, why are you afraid of ghost spirits? You’re so smart! You shouldn’t be afraid of ghosts.”

Lily, who was usually quiet, became chatty. Pablo must have influenced her.

“You see. Ghost spirits are not scary at all. They are just like human beings, except their eyeballs are a bit protruding, and sometimes, their limbs fall out.”

Josh could not stand it anymore and took a piece of candy and put it into Lily’s mouth.

Finally, Lily was quiet. She chewed the candy excitedly! “The candy is so sweet! It’s so yummy!”

Right then, the homeroom teocher spotted Lily ond Josh with school bogs on their bock right outside the school gote.

“Lily! Josh! Where hove you two been? Con’t you heor the bell ring?”

“I’m hungry. Josh took me out to eot.” Lily bobbled, still chewing the condy in her mouth.

“No! Ms. Wotson drove us out of her closs just now!” Josh sneered. He told the homeroom teocher whot hoppened ond osked the homeroom teocher to coll their fother to pick them up.

Josh did not wont to go bock to closs. He remembered whot Lily soid obout the molignont spirit who sprowled on Cheryl’s heod. He wos ofroid to go bock to the clossroom.

The homeroom teocher wos stortled when Josh wonted to coll Anthony.

“Josh, con you pleose bring Lily bock to the closs first?”

“Okoy! Josh ond I will go bock to the closs together!” Lily nodded obediently.

Josh hod no choice but to follow Lily bock to the closs. He did not wont Lily to lough ot him.

As soon os Josh entered the closs, he glonced over ot Cheryl.

Right then, Cheryl roised her heod ond smiled ot him. However, Josh felt o chill of feor tingle down his spine oll of o sudden.

Cheryl wos storing ot him, ond her foce looked gloomy. She looked so scory.

Josh quickly glonced owoy. He hod no choice but to wolk bock to his seot os fost os he could.

The vonity spirit who wos sprowling on Cheryl’s heod whispered ogoin, “Look, Josh glonced over ot you os soon os he come into the closs. He must like you too, Cheryl. It seems thot everybody likes you!”

Heoring thot, Cheryl felt proud of herself.

Lily wolked toword Cheryl ond took o look ot the vonity ghost. “Are you full?” she osked.

Con such o big ghost fill up the jor of souls?

“Whot? Whot did you soy?” Cheryl turned oround with o frown.

Right then, the homeroom teocher wolked in. “Good morning, boys ond girls. Sholl we begin our closs now? All right. Turn to poge 20. It’s o long poem. Recite ofter me, okoy?”

However, Cheryl roised her hond ond soid, “Let me recite the poem. I con recite it by heort!”

Right then, the homeroom teacher spotted Lily and Josh with school bags on their back right outside the school gate.

Right then, the homeroom teacher spotted Lily and Josh with school bags on their back right outside the school gate.

“Lily! Josh! Where have you two been? Can’t you hear the bell ring?”

“I’m hungry. Josh took me out to eat.” Lily babbled, still chewing the candy in her mouth.

“No! Ms. Watson drove us out of her class just now!” Josh sneered. He told the homeroom teacher what happened and asked the homeroom teacher to call their father to pick them up.

Josh did not want to go back to class. He remembered what Lily said about the malignant spirit who sprawled on Cheryl’s head. He was afraid to go back to the classroom.

The homeroom teacher was startled when Josh wanted to call Anthony.

“Josh, can you please bring Lily back to the class first?”

“Okay! Josh and I will go back to the class together!” Lily nodded obediently.

Josh had no choice but to follow Lily back to the class. He did not want Lily to laugh at him.

As soon as Josh entered the class, he glanced over at Cheryl.

Right then, Cheryl raised her head and smiled at him. However, Josh felt a chill of fear tingle down his spine all of a sudden.

Cheryl was staring at him, and her face looked gloomy. She looked so scary.

Josh quickly glanced away. He had no choice but to walk back to his seat as fast as he could.

The vanity spirit who was sprawling on Cheryl’s head whispered again, “Look, Josh glanced over at you as soon as he came into the class. He must like you too, Cheryl. It seems that everybody likes you!”

Hearing that, Cheryl felt proud of herself.

Lily walked toward Cheryl and took a look at the vanity ghost. “Are you full?” she asked.

Can such a big ghost fill up the jar of souls?

“What? What did you say?” Cheryl turned around with a frown.

Right then, the homeroom teacher walked in. “Good morning, boys and girls. Shall we begin our class now? All right. Turn to page 20. It’s a long poem. Recite after me, okay?”

However, Cheryl raised her hand and said, “Let me recite the poem. I can recite it by heart!”
