Chapter 121: Is She a Ghost?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The female ghost frowned when she heard Shen Chun’s words.
She glanced in Hu Jing’s direction without looking away again.
“I…” A hint of annoyance flashed across the female ghost’s eyes as she muttered to herself, “I can’t do it.”
The students were playing games, while Hu Jing sat in the middle of the children silently with an indifferent expression.
She looked back and around from time to time, then lowered her head dejectedly.
The ruckus around her seemed to have nothing to do with her anf she was immersed in her own world.
Tears of blood spread on the female ghost’s face. Then, she lowered her head and began to sob. “This is my child, my last treasure in this world. She’s still so young. 1 can’t let her be alone…”
Shen Chun leaned towards her slightly and accompanied her quietly.
In the past, she was also someone without kin, so she could understand her feelings.
Wouldn’t she be overjoyed that her one-sided companionship for so many years was suddenly reciprocated? Now that she was asking her to give up, it was indeed a little cruel.
Although she was a ghost, Shen Chun saw that her eyes were clear and did not have any malice in them. She also did not have any killing intent towards her, so she relaxed once again.
Shen Chun asked, “Tell me, why haven’t you reincarnated yet? If you turn into a ghost and develop attachments for the mortal world, the sinister energy will only get stronger and stronger, and you’ll lose your mind in the end. At that time, not only will you harm the child, but you’ll also harm the people around her.” As Shen Chun looked at the green grass at the foot of the mountain under the sun, she felt relaxed.
“You’re a sorcerer?” the ghost asked.
Her face began to change shape, and the edges of her face began to fade. Wisps of black energy seeped out, and she was barely in human form anymore. If she didn’t interfere, it would be too late.
Shen Chun sighed. This person was not a tough nut to crack yet, but if this dragged on, things might change.
“I am.” Shen Chun’s slender fingers flicked the grass on the ground as she said, “Is there anything else you want to say to the child? 1 can let you say goodbye.”
A trace of surprise flashed across the female ghost’s eyes. As she stared in Hu Jing’s direction in silence, her long hair fluttered in the wind like a fluffy dandelion.
After a while, she said softly, “Without me, the child will still die.”
Shen Chun had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong. As she looked at the child, she saw a ball of black energy at her throat.
At this moment, a strong wind blew. The branches of the trees broke apart and smashed onto the children like rain.
Shen Chun quickly bit her finger to draw a talisman, but she was still a step too late. Before the golden cover was closed, the messy branches had already blinded her.
Amidst the chaos, she saw Fu Shi shielding Shen Chi tightly under him.
“How dare you!” Shen Chun was furious, but when she turned around, the female ghost had already disappeared.
The teacher exclaimed, “A child is missing. Where’s Hu Jing?!”
Shen Chun quickly drew a talisman and looked around as she said, “Lan Shan! Follow me.”
This female ghost had run away in a hurry and left behind her remnant black energy on almost every tree. Shen Chun followed the black energy to find the female ghost.
The female ghost’s cultivation level was not high, so after a short while, Lan Shan found her.
He saw a cloud of black energy surrounding Hu Jing and thought that she was up to no good, so he could not help but shout, “Let go of her!”
He pounced forward and bit the female ghost who had already turned into black energy.
The female ghost let out a miserable scream and her scarlet eyes flashed coldly. “Get lost! Don’t ruin my picnic with the baby!”
Lan Shan took a closer look. The girl, whose eyes had already lost their luster, giggled as she sucked on a ball of black energy greedily.
Lan Shan had never seen a human eat ghost energy, so he was stunned for a moment, but then he was instantly slapped far away by the female ghost.
Shen Chun arrived at that moment. Seeing this, she hurriedly used a flash talisman to catch Lan Shan.
“Master, look…” Lan Shan was not injured, but had yet to react.
He pointed at the child inside the black energy in disbelief. “How can she eat black energy? Is she a ghost too?”
In fact, what the female ghost gave Hu Jing was not black energy, but a kind of ghost pill that she had refined..
