Chapter 19: Retribution

After Zhang Xiaofan got into the car, he nodded and smiled at the plump woman beside him. He just took a glance and didn't look at her more.

The car started and drove slowly towards Zhuque City.

"Master, your car is awesome! It seems you haven't turned on the air conditioner, but I don't feel hot at all. Instead, I feel a bit cool."

Zhang Xiaofan saw that the taxi driver was chatting up the beautiful and charming woman beside him, asking where she lived and whether she was married.

The woman beside answered that she had quarreled with her husband, was beaten by him, and ran out alone. She told the story in a pitiful way.

When the taxi driver heard this, his mind immediately became filled with evil thoughts, and his eyes rolled around.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan quickly interjected. What he said seemed irrelevant, but it was actually a kind of reminder.

The two of them were sitting in the back row, with a certain distance between them. From the woman beside, gusts of cold wind kept blowing over. If someone's body was a bit weaker, they would surely fall seriously ill after going back like this.

"Beauty, it's normal for couples to quarrel. You're so beautiful and have such a great figure. It's a bit dangerous to run out in the middle of the night. Later, I'll send this kid back to Zhuque City, and then I'll send you back.

If you have something bothering you, just tell me, bro. I'm willing to listen and also help you sort it out. What do you think?"

Obviously, the taxi driver had bad intentions. He didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiaofan's words but was scheming.

"Brother~, thank you so much. If my husband were half as good as you, that would be great. I just wanted to come out and get some fresh air. Actually, I don't even know where to go.

Well, I'm not afraid of you laughing. It's actually that my husband is useless himself. He finishes things very quickly. But he said I'm flirtatious and that no man can resist me.

When I said a few words to him, he got angry, started torturing me, beat me, and even used a belt on me. It really hurt! That's why I ran away. Otherwise, he would have beaten me to death. And he often does this at night."

Looking at the cold and charming woman, she actually started crying as she spoke, and her crying made a man's heart tremble.

After hearing this, the taxi driver's Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. He was extremely excited. For a woman like this, when he brought her back later, with a little coaxing, he could enjoy himself in the car.

Moreover, she was so beautiful and alluring, and she was wearing such a semi-transparent dress. Looking closely, this woman was indeed charming, and she was someone else's wife. Just thinking about it made him impatient.

The two of them kept talking, and their words were filled with subtle hints, both intentionally and unintentionally.

Zhang Xiaofan remained silent beside them. Suddenly, he moved his fingers as if calculating something. He turned his head and took a look at the woman but didn't say anything.

Although Zhang Xiaofan practiced the Demon God Technique, he also learned some divination techniques from the old Taoist priest. He grabbed a trace of the woman's aura in the air and immediately figured out the woman's origin.

From the moment he saw the woman appear, Zhang Xiaofan knew that this woman was not human. However, she did die a rather tragic death.

Before her death, this woman was a nurse in a hospital. When she was going home at night, she booked a ride-sharing car online. As a result, on the way, right at the place where she got on the car just now, she was brutally killed by several men in the car and then thrown by the roadside.

Dying such a tragic death, she surely had a lot of resentment in her heart. The taxi driver must be from out of town, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to stop there.

After the woman died, her resentment couldn't be dispelled, and she turned into a fierce ghost. She often stopped taxis by the roadside. Especially for some taxi drivers, after they got in the car, she would use such words to seduce them.

If the driver was an upright person, nothing would happen. At most, the next day, they would find that they had received some ghost money the previous night.

If the driver harbored evil thoughts and lusted after the female ghost's beauty, the car would either fall off a cliff or have an accident. In any case, the driver wouldn't survive.

Zhang Xiaofan calculated the origin of this female ghost. Although he had been ripped off by the taxi driver, he was still considering whether to save the driver's life. Because from their conversation, Zhang Xiaofan could tell that the driver had already been tempted by evil thoughts.

Zhang Xiaofan wasn't a savior and had no responsibility to save others. Taoism emphasizes one's state of mind, and Buddhism emphasizes fate. For example, in Buddhism, if there is no fate, even if you die right in front of a Buddhist monk, he won't even take a proper look at you.

What is fate? In fact, it also depends on a person's mood. If they want to save you, it's fate; if they don't, it's a lack of fate.

"Master, you're married, right? Is today your wife's birthday? After you finish this trip, go back and celebrate your wife's birthday. Buy her some nice gifts, and she'll surely be happy."

Zhang Xiaofan interjected out of the blue. The taxi driver thought to himself, how did this kid know that today was his wife's birthday?

However, he was annoyed that his conversation with the beauty had been interrupted.

"Country brat, when adults are talking, kids shouldn't interrupt. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute! The things you're carrying are too heavy, and I've burned a lot of gas. You need to add another 200 yuan."

Taking kindness for ill intent, Zhang Xiaofan was speechless and immediately said aggrievedly:

"Master, it only costs a dozen yuan to take a bus during the day. I've already given you 500 yuan, and now you're raising the price halfway. That's really not fair."

Zhang Xiaofan cursed in his heart. He decided that he would never be a good Samaritan again. Life and death were determined by fate, and what did it have to do with him?

The taxi driver had seen that Zhang Xiaofan had a lot of money earlier, and judging from his country bumpkin appearance, he knew that he was easy to bully. He actually stopped the car. The roadside was desolate, with no streetlights, and it was pitch black all around.

"Are you going to give the money or not? If not, get out of the car!"

Zhang Xiaofan was frustrated and had to take out two more banknotes and throw them at the driver.

At the same time, he muttered in a low voice: "Here you go. I'm just afraid you won't have the life to spend it."

After the driver received the money, he showed a smile on his face and continued driving. He started chatting with the beauty again. While the woman was talking to the driver pitifully, she stretched out a cold hand and threw a few coquettish glances at Zhang Xiaofan. She also puffed out her chest, making the two "mountains" in front of her even more prominent. It had to be said that this female ghost was really attractive.

"Get lost! Don't provoke me, or I'll make your soul disperse!"

Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and roared. A surge of imposing manner rushed out from him. The female ghost beside quickly retracted her hand. Her body trembled a few times, as if she was about to disperse. It took a while for her to calm down.

The female ghost suddenly disappeared from the seat and appeared in the front passenger seat.

This made the driver so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. When he was talking, he also tested the waters and deliberately touched the female ghost's thigh with his hand. Seeing that the female ghost didn't react, while driving, his hand slowly moved towards the middle of her thigh. The female ghost's hand also moved towards the driver's body.

"Do you want to die? When I get out of the car, you can do whatever you want!"

Zhang Xiaofan roared from the back. The female ghost was immediately scared into obedience. The taxi driver was immediately dissatisfied and cursed Zhang Xiaofan a few more times.

As soon as they entered Zhuque City, Zhang Xiaofan was unceremoniously kicked out of the car. The driver was full of excitement and drove back with the female ghost.

When Zhang Xiaofan got out of the car, he could see that the driver couldn't hold back anymore. His hand was already on the two "mountains" of the female ghost, groping around.
