Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Inevitability in Coincidence_1
The furrowed brow and sigh of Qin Sisi made her seem a touch more appealing to Hei Shan.
Hei Shan was harassing Xie Kexin, firstly to draw out the mage that had abducted Yuan Lishu, and secondly to sate his carnal desires.
Beforehand, he had wandered to this area and had coincidentally encountered Yuan Lishu. Yuan Lishu was young and beautiful, very much to Hei Shan’s liking.
Thus, the two ghosts, one driven by profit, the other by desire, were drawn together.
After Yuan Lishu was taken, Hei Shan, for so reason, set his sights on Xie Kexin, visiting her every night.
Xie Kexin was entranced by Hei Shan’s hypnotic spell, and woke the following mornings feeling weak and fatigued, with no mory of the night’s happenings. Her condition worsened with ti.
Eventually, she beca shrouded in Yin energy and fell into unconsciousness.
That very night, Hei Shan ca once again. He had no intention of letting Xie Kexin go, but unfortunately for him, his plans were foiled by Qin Sisi and Ye You.
The old saying goes, dying under a peony flower, you are a lover even as a ghost.
Hei Shan had concluded that Qin Sisi absolutely would not let him go. If he did not accept her terms, he would be beaten to the very last breath; if he did accept, and gave his soul power to Qin Sisi, he would still et the fate of being obliterated.
Pondering this, Hei Shan beca resigned to his fate.
Seeing Qin Sisi’s charming and delicate face, Hei Shan was montarily overco with ardor and could not resist the desire to enjoy one final mont of pleasure before his impending destruction.
Hei Shan flashed a lascivious grin and said to Qin Sisi suggestively, "Pretty girl, what do you think about this? My fate is sealed anyway, so why don’t you spend the night with , and then I will give you my soul power..."
Before Hei Shan could finish his words, Ye You raised her claw and swung it forcefully in Hei Shan’s direction.
A burst of purple light rushed towards Hei Shan, enveloping him instantly.
Hei Shan’s expression froze, his unspoken words lodged in his throat, his entire form stood still as if frozen.
The purple light orbited around Hei Shan, dissolving his virtual body until eventually, it was reduced to a wisp of silver light, surrounded by the purple light, and was drawn back into Ye You’s hand.
Qin Sisi had witnessed such a spectacle once before.
That fierce ghost hiding within the Blue and white Porcelain had been dealt with by Ye You in the exact sa manner, taking away all of its spiritual power.
Qin Sisi gave Ye You a deep, silent look.
She could guess that Ye You’s sudden violent reaction was because Hei Shan had disrespected her.
Ye You, cold-eyed, held onto Hei Shan’s spiritual power and said to Qin Sisi, "He was full of evil. He brought this on himself."
Qin Sisi nodded slightly. As much as she lanted not obtaining the soul power, she knew the decision was necessary.
Not all things can be bargained for.
After dealing with Hei Shan, Qin Sisi and Ye You walked towards the bed where Xie Kexin lied unconscious.
The young girl on the bed was still unconscious, but one could see that the cluster of black energy coiling around her temple had disappeared and her lips were slightly lighter in color.
Ye You stretched out her claw and placed it above Xie Kexin’s forehead, not touching her skin.
Then she conjured a small ball of silvery light and slowly pressed it down, allowing the silvery light to enter Xie Kexin’s forehead.
Qin Sisi knew that Ye You was healing Xie Kexin, but she was not sure about the specifics and did not want to disrupt Ye You with questions.
When Ye You finished healing Xie Kexin and drew back her claw, Qin Sisi then asked, "How is she now?"
Perceiving Qin Sisi’s puzzlent, Ye You explained, "With the destruction of Hei Shan’s ghost, the Yin energy enveloping Xie Kexin has also dissipated. I just used magic to help her body regain her Yang energy. She should awaken by daybreak."
Qin Sisi nodded, her expression easing a bit, she said, "Then I am relieved."
Qin Sissi looked down at Xie Kexin whose complexion had slightly improved, and pondered aloud, "What do you think made Hei Shan choose Xie Kexin out of so many female students at the University of Science and Technology?"
Ye You explained, "When I was extracting his spiritual power, I read a part of his mory. Hei Shan is a mber of the Miao ethnic group, and Xie Kexin was wearing an ornant of Miao style. That’s why she was targeted by Hei Shan."
Qin Sisi responded in surprise, "So she drew the attention of a ghost just because of an ordinary ornant? That’s really bad luck!"
Ye You shook her head slowly, "It can’t be said for sure yet. The ornant might have so peculiarities."
Qin Sisi blinked in half-understanding, and considering so of Hei Shan’s words which she still found unclear, she decided to discuss it with Ye You.
"Hei Shan said he loathed mages the most, which is why he wanted to expose us and get us killed. Earlier, Yuan Lishu also ntioned that many mages were killed by Hei Shan. It seems we got away just in ti."
She had thought that she and Ye You were laying a trap, but it turned out that Hei Shan was also prepared. He just didn’t realize that Qin Sisi was the mage he had been seeking.
Ye You jumped into Qin Sisi’s arms and said slowly, "Not long after Hei Shan died, he was seriously injured by a mage and almost shattered to pieces, but he finally managed to escape by the skin of his teeth. After that, he developed a deep hatred for all mages.
Ten years later, Hei Shan’s spiritual power had greatly improved, and he found and killed the mage that had hurt him, for the sake of avenging his past.
After that, whenever Hei Shan encountered mages, he would kill them without hesitation."
Qin Sisi nodded in realization and frowned, "I see. It’s understandable to take revenge for oneself, but to beco so narrow-minded and bear grudges against others, that is indeed the act of a true villain."
Ye You was silent but agreed with Qin Sisi’s view.
Qin Sisi was curious about Hei Shan’s background, prompting Ye You to explain in detail, satisfying Qin Sisi’s curiosity.
Hei Shan was once a leader of the Miao Tribe who was betrayed and murdered by his subordinates. His unwilling spirit refused to enter the cycle of reincarnation and instead, practiced as a ghost for many years until he could finally slaughter the entire family of the traitor, thus avenging himself.
Afterwards, Hei Shan began to wander aimlessly.
As a leader, he was already a hardened and ruthless man, and after being betrayed and murdered by his trusted subordinates, Hei Shan grew even more violent and cruel. Because he was ultimately afraid of being captured by the underworld, he dared not to kill as he pleased, except for mages of course.
During his wanderings, he devoured all the male ghosts he encountered and toyed with the young, attractive female ghosts before discarding them. Those who were too old, too young, or too unattractive t a sad end.
His arrival in S City and eting with Yuan Lishu was a coincidence.
But that both ghosts were morally degenerate, was perhaps inevitable.
After hearing the whole story, Qin Sisi laughed coldly, "So the two of them eting a bitter end where their spirits are scattered and could never reincarnate is also inevitable."
