**Chapter 29: The Ghost Queen Gets Bamboozled!**  

Xu Yang crouched by the roadside, trembling as adrenaline coursed through his veins. The near-death experience left his legs jelly-like. After several minutes, he glared at the hovering ghost. "Sis! You said you could drive blind!" 

The ghost hung her head, hair veiling her face. "...Didn't expect that truck," she mumbled. "Stupid driver ran the light!" 

"You were the one blowing through red lights!" Xu Yang clutched his chest dramatically. "Ma Long's BMW's totaled! How do I explain this?" 

The ghost perked up, writing crimson characters midair: *"I'll buy him ten BMWs! My burial treasures could purchase this entire city!"* 

Xu Yang's eyes lit up. "Burial treasures? Let me help excavate them! Mortals need property deeds and IDs for mansions—I'll handle everything!" He reached out, gently sweeping aside her hair to reveal pearly skin. "You're breathtaking. Hiding this face is criminal." 

The ghost-queen blushed spectral pink. Six centuries of death hadn't prepared her for such flattery. "Enough nonsense!" She dissolved into mist, fleeing toward the city outskirts. "The grave robber's close!"

Moonlight bathed a sprawling compound outside Lingzhou City. Xu Yang scaled the 2-meter wall effortlessly with his new Land Flight Technique. Inside, mourning banners fluttered beside a coffin where Wang Wei knelt vigil. 

"Who's there?!" The martial artist spun, recognizing Xu Yang. "Trespassing! I'll call the police!" 

Xu Yang smirked. "Martial brother Wang, we settle matters the martial way." His gaze hardened. "Return my grandfather's bones, and we forget this... or I'll ensure your master never finds peace in either realm." 

Behind him, the ghost-queen materialized, crimson dress billowing. Her hair now swept up in Xu Yang's scrunchie revealed jade-like features. Wang Wei's oil lamp flickered wildly as she whispered: "*His soul already wanders... Shall I summon it for tea?*" 

The martial artist's face drained of color. Two against one - and one was literally death incarnate.
