In a world brimming with mystery and intrigue, the Heavenly Master Xu Yang is renowned for his extraordinary Taoist skills and his thousand-year-old peach wood sword. However, his reputation is not entirely positive. Within the spectral community, Xu Yang's standing is quite complex, with rumors even suggesting that he once threatened a spirit, prompting the spirit to call the police. Despite this, Xu Yang steadfastly maintains his innocence, claiming that these accusations are utterly baseless.

The story begins with Xu Yang encountering a young man who questions his identity during a ghost-hunting mission. The young man bluntly raises the issue of Xu Yang's reputation and mentions the spirit that called the police. Xu Yang vehemently denies these claims and challenges the young man to bring the spirit forward for a face-to-face confrontation. This scene not only showcases Xu Yang's confidence and determination but also sets the stage for the unfolding narrative.

As the story progresses, Xu Yang gradually uncovers a vast conspiracy behind the negative rumors about him. It turns out that a powerful evil spirit has been manipulating events from the shadows, attempting to tarnish Xu Yang's reputation to weaken his influence in the spectral community and secure more space for its own survival. Realizing this, Xu Yang understands that he must unveil the truth behind this conspiracy to restore his reputation and protect innocent lives.

Throughout this journey, Xu Yang faces not only challenges from spirits but also the complexities of human relationships. He collaborates with a young female journalist to investigate the incident. Initially skeptical of Xu Yang, the journalist gradually comes to admire his courage and wisdom as they endure a series of perilous events together. A budding romance quietly develops between them as they face adversity side by side.

In the end, Xu Yang successfully exposes the true nature of the evil spirit and defeats it in a fierce battle. His reputation is restored, and peace returns to the spectral community. However, Xu Yang knows that evil will never completely disappear from this world, and he must remain vigilant, continuing to guard the peace of this realm.

This Heavenly Master is a bit too arrogant.

**Chapter 47: Shopping with the Ghost Sisters!**

Yang Yin's eyes sparkled. "The Ghost Market is like a human bazaar—open on the 1st and 15th of each lunar month! Hundreds of ghosts gather there, along with human mystics hunting treasures. There are nine major Ghost Markets across China. Ours in Northwest China draws crowds from half the country!"

Xu Yang's imagination ran wild—*mountains of ghosts = endless Virtue Points!* But Yang Yin's next words sobered him: "The markets have Ghost Kings overseeing them, and even a rumored Market Lord who travels between realms."

Liu Shishi interjected: "The method for entering as a living person exists. Seek local occult practitioners—or that 'Spirit Management Bureau' you mentioned."

With no customers in sight, Xu Yang proposed crafting new outfits. Liu Shishi demanded pants, complaining her legs felt drafty. Xu Yang secretly mourned his black stockings investment but obliged—sort of.

He snipped yellow paper into denim mini-shorts. Yang Yin eagerly modeled hers: "Master Xu! Sister Shishi! How do I look?"

The modernized ghost spun, her bobbed hair swishing. The micro-shorts showcased legs that would make a supermodel jealous.

Liu Shishi blushed spectral pink but eventually changed into hers. Together, the twin specters resembled mismatched sisters—Yang Yin's vivacious 1930s charm contrasting Liu Shishi's Ming-era elegance.

"Let's go downtown!" Xu Yang declared.

At the city square, elderly couples danced to electronic remixes of revolutionary songs. Children crashed bumper cars as young lovers canoodled on benches.

"Shameless!" Liu Shishi glared at a kissing couple. "Public indecency!"

Yang Yin flicked yin energy at the pair, fogging their minds. "Why bother with such riffraff? Look—coloring statues!"

The ghosts selected plaster figurines—Liu Shishi chose Peppa Pig ("A noble swine in pink armor!"), while Yang Yin painted a Hello Kitty black ("More dignified this way").

As sunset painted the sky, Xu Yang's phone rang. Officer Wang's gruff voice announced: "The restless soul case—we're ready."

Handing the ghosts 1,000 yuan, Xu Yang said: "Keep shopping. I'll handle this exorcism."

Liu Shishi sniffed. "We have our own funds. Come, Yang Yin—I'll treat you to 'hotpot'!" She floated toward a LED-lit restaurant, misreading its neon "Hell Spicy Broth" sign as haute cuisine.

Yang Yin glanced back, whispering: "Master, the Market opens tonight! Find us after midnight!"

Xu Yang watched them vanish into the crowd—one ghost critiquing modern fashion, the other licking spectral ice cream. His Virtue Points ticked upward.

*"Ghosts enjoying modern life. Virtue Points +50."*

The real haunting, it seemed, was capitalism's grip on the afterlife.
