Transferring Yang Energy

Office worker Xue Ming was hit by a drunk driver on her way home from work and died on the spot. When she opened her eyes again, a young man dressed as a scholar stood before her and said, “Brother Chixia, if you’ve rested enough, let’s get going.” Xue Ming was confused about when she changed her surname to Yan and asked, “Who are you?” The scholar replied, “I am Ning Caichen.” Xue Ming felt something was wrong. After confirming several times, she realized she had entered the world of “Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio” after her death. From Ning Caichen’s words, she learned that she seemed to be called Yan Chixia. She and Ning Caichen set off together and soon saw a magnificent temple ahead. Ning Caichen was eager to enter, but Xue Ming felt alarmed and wiped a cold sweat, saying, “This temple doesn’t look very auspicious.”

Xue Ming originally thought that since she had become Yan Chixia, even if she didn’t have the skills to exorcise demons, she should at least have some treasures, like the mighty sword mentioned in the original story. However, she soon discovered that she had overestimated herself. On the first night in the temple, she was chased by a Yaksha ghost and fled in panic, accidentally entering the temple’s depths. There, she found a very handsome male ghost named Yu He, whom the other Yakshas in the temple feared and dared not disturb. After narrowly escaping death outside, Xue Ming decided to propose a deal with Yu He: she would provide him with a bit of her yang energy every day in exchange for shelter in his room. Yu He’s gaze lingered on her long before he finally agreed. From then on, Xue Ming was hugged and kissed by this male ghost, who absorbed her yang energy, causing her vitality to decline rapidly. Eventually, she needed a cane to walk and realized that if this continued, she would die. She decided to terminate the deal unilaterally. The male ghost Yu He then revealed his true form, grabbed her, and pressed her onto the bed, saying, “No problem, I’ll transfer some yang energy to you.” Xue Ming was shocked, “Wait a minute, how can a male ghost have yang energy?”

Yan Yuhe, courtesy name Chixia, was ordered by his master to descend the mountain to capture a junior sister who had betrayed their sect. He calculated that she would enter the temple and wait there in advance. He originally planned to retrieve the sect’s treasure after she died at the hands of the demons, but unexpectedly, this junior sister barged in, screaming, and not only did not recognize him but also mistook him for a male ghost and offered her yang energy. Looking into her clear, jade-like eyes, Yan Yuhe had a change of heart and agreed.
