Chapter 875: The Psychic Master 39

After the abolition of the ancestral system, life for He Tongyang and Tang Wan did not change much on the surface.

Their days continued in a familiar rhythm. He Tongyang focused on cultivation, refining his abilities and strengthening his control, while Tang Wan spent her time immersed in games, passing the long hours of her ghostly existence with surprising enthusiasm. At night, nothing changed either—he lay on the bed, while she floated beside him, keeping him company as always.

But this morning—

Something was different.

When He Tongyang opened his eyes, he didn’t see Tang Wan hovering beside the bed with a game interface in front of her as usual. Instead, she was sitting quietly nearby, her posture steady, her entire presence calm and focused.

For a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wan Wan… is cultivating?

And indeed, she was.

Ever since she had revealed herself during the abolition of the ancestral system, more and more members of the He family had begun offering her incense with genuine reverence. As a result, she had absorbed an increasing amount of faith and spiritual energy.

That accumulation was beginning to change her.

What had once been a purely ghostly existence was now gradually transforming into something more stable—more solid.

A faint white glow surrounded her body as she sat there in meditation.

Seeing this, He Tongyang did not dare disturb her. He moved carefully, getting out of bed as quietly as possible, then remained nearby, watching over her without making a sound.

Her cultivation lasted the entire day.

Only as evening approached did Tang Wan finally open her eyes.

The moment she did, she immediately sensed something different.

Her body felt… denser.

More real.

At that moment, He Tongyang’s voice came from beside her, tinged with unmistakable surprise.

“Wan Wan… you…”

Tang Wan looked up at him and smiled brightly. “Tong Tong, I think… I’ve become stronger.”

He didn’t respond right away.

Instead, he stared at her intently, his gaze fixed on her form.

Then, without warning, he stepped forward and reached out toward her.

This time, Tang Wan didn’t use any ghost power to maintain contact.

And yet—

His fingers still touched her.

Clearly.

Solidly.

Feeling the cool sensation of his fingertips against her, Tang Wan’s eyes widened in shock.

This…

They could touch each other now?

Before she could even process it, He Tongyang suddenly pulled her into his arms.

There was no emptiness.

No passing through.

He wasn’t embracing air—

He was holding her.

Firmly.

Real.

“T-Tong Tong… I… I have a physical form?” Tang Wan stammered, finally reacting.

He loosened his hold slightly, a rare smile appearing on his face as he nodded.

“Looks like it.”

“Then… does that mean other people can see me too?” she asked quickly, excitement rising in her voice.

He Tongyang shook his head slightly. “I’m not sure yet. Let’s go downstairs and find out.”

“Okay!” Tang Wan said immediately, rubbing her hands together in excitement.

She had never expected this.

All along, she thought that in this world, the closest they could ever get was limited—holding hands, brief touches, all dependent on ghost power.

But now—

Everything had changed.

She had a physical form.

She could touch him naturally.

Stay with him… like a real person.

Soon, the two of them went downstairs together.

The moment the servants saw them, they froze.

Their eyes widened in shock.

Because standing beside He Tongyang…

Was a girl they had never seen before.

Tang Wan noticed their expressions immediately, and her heart began to race with excitement.

They can see me!

But to be certain, He Tongyang still asked calmly, “Can you see her?”

The servants’ hearts skipped a beat.

What does Patriarch mean by that?

Their thoughts immediately went in a completely different direction.

Could it be… he brought a girl back for the night and doesn’t want anyone to know?

Exchanging quick glances, they all shook their heads frantically.

“Don’t worry, Patriarch! We didn’t see anything!” they said in unison.

He Tongyang: …?
