Chapter 227: Chapter 227: The Fish Dies and The Net Splits_1

Seeing Qin Sisi shaking her head, Yuan Lishu snorted contemptuously and said, "Stop dreaming! I will not offer you my Soul Power. You’d better let

go soon before my brother Hei Shan cos for , or it will be too late for you to regret it."

A chill settled in Qin Sisi’s heart before she could respond, Ye You owed a few tis from the side as a reassurance, "Don’t listen to her. No matter how fierce the evil spirit is, I won’t be afraid."

Seeing that Ye You was not taking Yuan Lishu’s threats seriously, Qin Sisi gave him a relieved smile before turning back to Yuan Lishu, ignoring her murderous expression. She gently and persuasively said, "Isn’t there anyone in the human world that you can’t let go? Like your parents; also, if you reincarnate, whatever life you want to lead, I can help make it happen."

At the ntion of her parents, Yuan Lishu’s face showed a touch of sadness. However, right after that, she sighed and said, "What’s the point? It’s over now. Even if I can’t let go, I can’t be alive again. Besides, I have a little brother. He will take care of my parents. I’m not needed."

Seeing that Yuan Lishu didn’t care much about her parents, Qin Sisi beca a little anxious and continued to persuade, "What about your next life? Even though you’re having a hard life now, don’t you have any hopes for your next one? "

Yuan Lishu glanced at her coldly and replied indifferently, "Next life? I have no intention of reincarnating."

"Why?" Qin Sisi looked at Yuan Lishu in surprise. This was the first ti she’d encountered a ghost who completely didn’t want to reincarnate. What kind of life did she want, then? To be a wandering ghost forever?

Yuan Lishu looked up at the dust-filled void and calmly replied, "Being a ghost isn’t bad at all. There’s no birth, aging, sickness, or death. There’s no mundane troubles. Ghosts can pass through walls, move at incredible speed, and even determine life and death as they please."

As she said the last four words, there was a trace of madness and grimness in Yuan Lishu’s face.

Qin Sisi did not agree with Yuan Lishu’s words. Shaking her head, she said, "Not necessarily. There are plenty of mages exterminating ghosts and evil spirits. Powerful evil spirits devour ghosts. And malevolent ghosts are watched by the ssenger of Death, strictly sent back to the world of spirits. So, being a ghost is highly dangerous. Once sothing goes wrong, it could result in eternal perishing of the soul."

Yuan Lishu snapped back, "You’re talking about those useless ghosts."

Qin Sisi sighed helplessly, "Are you saying that you’re very ambitious?"

Yuan Lishu laughed arrogantly and loudly replied, "Of course, I’m Hei Shan’s woman now. He promised

that once I’ve devoured enough ghost souls, I can escape the Region of Death’s control and leave this place with him. We’d be free to do whatever we want, killing or devouring ghosts as we please. As long as our Spiritual Power is strong enough, nobody can stop us."

Qin Sisi’s expression gradually cooled. So, this is Yuan Lishu’s true desire - to be a lawless, bullying, and unrestrained evil spirit.

"Do you really not think your idea is ridiculous?" Qin Sisi asked coldly.

Infuriated, Yuan Lishu stood up and yelled at Qin Sisi, "I’m ridiculous? I was raped and killed for just rejecting a man’s confession. Why didn’t anyone say he was ridiculous?"

Qin Sisi also stood up and firmly said, "Sure, he was ridiculous, which is why he was sentenced to death and punished."

Yuan Lishu snarled, "He deserved it. But what about ? What did I do wrong? Why did I have to endure that pain? Why am I still being discussed over dinner even after my death?"

Qin Sisi was silent for a mont. Admittedly, Yuan Lishu was pitiful. Being raped was a stigma that couldn’t be washed away by death.

Yuan Lishu was breathing heavily, her emotion volatile. With a trace of pain flashing in her eyes, she quietly said, "Do you know? When I was a kid, I was molested by an old man in the neighborhood. But I didn’t know what it ant at that ti until I went to university and read so cases on the internet, that was when I realized what had happened to . I hate this dirty word. I would rather stay a ghost forever, not giving those bad people any chance to hurt ."

Qin Sisi was stunned. She never expected Yuan Lishu had such a traumatic childhood. Qin Sisi had also read about such cases on the internet, the scars left by these incidents in childhood were often impossible to heal.

However, another sentence from Yuan Lishu ca to Qin Sisi’s mind. She had said that she was Hei Shan’s woman.

Qin Sisi hesitantly asked, "You and that brother Hei Shan... "

Before Qin Sisi could finish, Yuan Lishu understood her aning. Shrugging indifferently, she said, "Hei Shan didn’t force . It was my choice. Because he can help

devour souls and increase my Spiritual Power so that no one can hurt

in the future."

As expected, Yuan Lishu and Hei Shan were in a romantic relationship.

After so thought, Qin Sisi hesitated before asking, "Do you like him?"

She always sensed that when Yuan Lishu spoke of Hei Shan, it was with extre trust and admiration, sowhat like a lackey hiding behind a strong supporter, but lacking in the tenderness between lovers.

Yuan Lishu gave a cold laugh and retorted, "Like? What’s that? There’s no such word in my dictionary. He helps

beco powerful, and I satisfy him with my body. We’re just using each other, get what we want. What does it have to do with ’like’?"

Qin Sisi shook her head secretly. It turned out that their relationship was purely an exchange of interests, completely devoid of any emotions.

It seed that Yuan Lishu had changed significantly after being tornted. And that Hei Shan, he was probably not a good person as well.

Seeing Qin Sisi remained silent, Yuan Lishu changed her tone and said softly, "Pretty lady, we don’t hold a deep grudge against each other. I almost hurt your sister, and you’ve destroyed my arm. Technically, I’m the one at a disadvantage. But I’m generous enough to let go, so let

go. You walk your own path, and I cross my single-log bridge. We won’t cross paths."

Qin Sisi looked up and firmly shook her head. "No way."

This was the second ti Qin Sisi had said "no way." Yuan Lishu finally lost her patience and yelled, "Fine! I definitely won’t offer you my Soul Power! Since you’re so stubborn, let’s see this through. You won’t benefit from this either!"

Having said this, Yuan Lishu gathered her thoughts, her lips moved lightly, and a lodious song flowed slowly from her mouth.
