Unexpectedly 1405

, not Shen. If you think getting Qiao back to the Shen family will earn continued favor from the Divine Emperor, then you've miscalculated.""Humph," Old Mrs. Shen let out a cold snort, and with an ind...Behind me, a ghostly figure with half a face and half a body exposed as white bone grinned at me.

One side of his face had peeled away, leaving only half a lip. The rotting skin and flesh hung loose on the bones like tattered cloth.

Strange yet familiar.

It is indeed Situ Lin.

"Little Qiao." That terrifying visage, yet calling out my name with a gentle voice.

"Don't play games with me, I won't fall for it." I tried to steady myself and said coldly to the dilapidated ghost.

“……Although I am a Soul Refiner, I am also innocent…… I was born to be a tool. My soul was extracted before I was born and filled into the Soul Refining Fusion… I have no power to resist……” On Situ Lin's terrifying face, only one eye remained.

Yet, this very eye emanates a warm and gentle light.

"I cannot choose, I cannot resist... Like the children of zombies, they are born only to prolong life, carrying evil and malice... What choice do they have"

“I was filled with soul-torture, and the remaining fragments of my soul were shattered and incomplete, unable to control my own actions… I am just a tool… After being swallowed by the corpse demon, I stayed in the corpse demon’s body in the Demon Realm, coexisting with broken limbs and scraps every day… Until the corpse demon was destroyed, I became a lonely ghost trapped in the cracks… This time, I can finally return to the human world.”

He mumbled to himself.

I have some doubts, is this really the remnant soul of Si Tu Lin

Isn't that the female ghost's transformation

"See" he gestured, showing his complete lack of resistance. "You want to shackle me I won't even try to hide... but don't get too close to me... You, you're no longer a simple mortal now, your aura will scatter me..."

"You... you are really the remnants of Si Tu Lin's soul Why are you here!" I couldn't believe it, that after several years, I would encounter this terrifying person again.

"Si Tu Lin" smiled wryly.

One side of his face was a gentle smile, the other half had chunks of flesh clinging to bone... It was just... too horrifying.

“Well… that female ghost merging with demons already has cultivation. In the gaps of space, we dare not provoke her because we’re afraid of being devoured and forced to obey her… She split herself in two, her main body rarely appears… Most of the time, she possesses that mouse-like little demon… She can open the cracks of the Demon Realm! Do you know”

"No... I don't know... I haven't seen this ghost's true face..." I shook my head.

"She's the queen of the Demon City! And also a scout for the Demon Sovereign. How could you not know that and fight her...and here, of all places...This place is eerily quiet now. You think you can take her by surprise You've fallen right into her trap... She can open fissures here and release countless low-level demons—"

Stop, stop talking.

I'm a bit confused.

"Are you really the original Si Tu Lin" I truly can't imagine it.

When I first met him, his body must have been in the process of soul refinement.

Was his soul sucked out in the womb Was it not thoroughly extracted Now that his soul has been destroyed and his body is dead, only a remnant of his soul consciousness remains

"Why are you telling me this" I asked guardedly.

Sītú Lín, with a broken expression, paused for a moment, a wry smile appearing on one side of his face.

"I..."

He hesitated, as if finding it difficult to speak.

"I just want...please..."

"... please measure me."

Our connection with the demon realm might date back three or four years, even generations ago.

The lineage of necromancers who defected from Long Xiaog's Miao Wangcheng found refuge in the Wuwang Mountain City. Afterward, perhaps because of their displacement or the many humiliations they suffered, the ancestor of the necromancers began using extreme methods to refine corpse demons.

From Chong Mo's mouth, we learned that the Corpse Demon was an outsider even in the demon realm. He devoured not only the leftover flesh and bones, souls, and corpses of humans, but also things near the demon realm.

However, the Corpse Demon still connected with the barrier between the human world and the demon realm. Living beings in the demon realm were consumed, and because the demon realm was strictly limited by the upper realms' spatial boundaries, it couldn't retaliate.

This made the city lords of the demon realm feel extremely ashamed and furious.

Demons and immortals were once on the same level, but once they fell into the Demon Realm, they were imprisoned by the upper realms in every possible way. Those who cultivated their Dao with resentment naturally seethed with anger.

Then the Demon Realm tried to awaken the "passage" left in the mortal world eight hundred years ago. The holders of those copper talismans and small Buddhas were their scouts, their pawns, their "path."

However, for a high-level demon to appear, it could only destroy the life of a marked "scout," so high-level demons use them more cautiously.

Inferior demons will emerge from spatial rifts as soon as they appear.

Like flies and mosquitoes are attracted to blood.

I too have been caught in the space between dimensions. Back then, I couldn't see the face of whoever captured me. That blood curse...

I couldn't help but glance at my wrist. There were no markings, so perhaps it wasn't working on me

After all, I have Jiang Qiyun's immortal mark on me and I've eaten fairy dates and tea.

Thinking of this, my rapidly beating heart calmed slightly. I looked up at Situ Lin, who retreated into the shade of the trees, shielding half of his body with the horrific chunks of flesh.

He wants to propose to me.

How easy is that

No matter how pitiful, even celestial beings cannot save humans born with "original sin."

Whatever about saving all beings, all kinds of spirits, it's just the rules and regulations of the natural order.

As one sows, so shall one reap. Those who do evil will suffer the consequences, while those who do good will benefit.

He's barely a wisp of consciousness now, his form scattering even if I stand too close. How can he possibly be saved

"...My cultivation level is insufficient, I'm afraid I can't transcend your soul... You, you should still go to the underworld to atone for your sins." I didn't know what his situation was, and what would happen if he went to the underworld.

After all, his soul refining was definitely extinguished after enduring countless tortures. This remaining wisp of soul awareness, even if it went to the underworld, would likely meet the same end.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Si Tu Lin's remnant soul vanished.

I was stunned. Just now I had so much to say, how did it all disappear suddenly

Ghosts, having experienced life and death, are even more adept at manipulating people's hearts.

I can't believe it was really Si Tu Lin just now, and I can't believe what he said—even though it sounded very logical.

But... that female ghost actually became the city king in the demon world, so she must have subordinates! She might be hiding in this resort right now. I need to inform Jiang Qiyun and Bai Wu Chang as soon as possible.

"... Ha ha ha ha ..." A faint chuckle came from behind the trash can in the distance.

The little demon, about the size of a large rat, emerged from behind with glowing crimson eyes.

"Believe me or not This dead, tattered ghost is still thinking of you... hee hee hee... You, a beautiful and young woman, are truly... tempting..."

Humph… Don’t try to distract me.

I pinched a seal, rapidly muttering the sacred scriptures in my heart. Half of this female ghost was being refined here, if I could just grab...

"Oh my, Xiao Qiao, why are you so fierce Did you have another argument with your husband" The big mouse suddenly spoke in Song Wei's voice.

My scalp exploded, and even Jue couldn't hold it anymore. I stared in astonishment at this gray demonic creature.

She gave a triumphant, sinister smile. "Little girl, it's too easy for me to unsettle your mind—"onder if he will hear this. Does Lin Yanhuan use WeChatI'm feeling a bit agitated and keep scratching my head. Maybe it's because I'm in the later stages of pregnancy, because whenever I get stressed...
