Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 474: Brother’s Dark Hand1

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Brother’s Dark Hand_1

Hearing Qin Sisi speak, the water ghost glared at her resentfully, and retorted vehently, "What do you know? Do you have any idea how much suffering I’ve endured these years? Isn’t the hardship of all these years enough to trade for a chance to return to the human world?"

His words hit close to Qin Sisi’s intentions. The deep regret and attachnt exhibited by the ghost were advantageous for her, especially for negotiating about Soul Power.

Qin Sisi moderated her tone and asked, "It sounds like you have been wronged a great deal, would you like to tell

your story?"

But the water ghost felt little gratitude. With a brusque tone, he retorted, "What would that do ? You can’t be of any help. If you really want to help , then let

have your body, allowing

to return to the Human world for revenge."

Qin Sisi frowned slightly. This ghost was indeed tenacious. Perhaps it was ti to deflate its spirit before proceeding with negotiations.

So, Qin Sisi lifted her chin, her voice infused with pride, "Don’t even dream about it. I defeated you once, and I can do it again."

With that, she turned to look at Ye You and winked at him. A playful glint appeared in her eyes. She was ready to bluff her way through again.

Cursing under his breath, the water ghost glared at Qin Sisi but could say nothing back, for he knew she was speaking the truth.

His movents were quite fast at that ti. He was ninety percent sure of his success, and he was particularly elated that he wouldn’t even have to swim himself; for so reason, that black cat had considerable strength and was pulling him towards the water surface.

Just when victory seed within his grasp, the black cat suddenly slapped him heavily on the Baihui acupoint at the top of his head, driving his spirit out of Qin Sisi’s body.

Before he could react, he felt as if lightning had flashed in front of his eyes, then he felt numb all over, and fell unconscious.

When he woke up, he found himself in this room, severely injured and tightly bound.

Seeing that the water ghost was silent, Qin Sisi knew he had gotten the ssage. She continued to persuade him, "You know how powerful I am, there’s no need for

to elaborate further. If your only desires are revenge and to find soone, those are simple tasks for ."

The water ghost was full of doubt and asked, "Even though I almost killed you, you still want to help ?"

Qin Sisi smiled subtly and calmly replied, "Of course, I have my conditions. Once the tasks are completed, I want you to give

your Soul Power."

"Soul Power!" The water ghost’s face changed and his eyes darted about in uncertainty.

To give up his Soul Power could result in his soul scattering, the price he would have to pay seed too steep.

Qin Sisi’s eyes flicked slightly, her voice carrying an icy edge as she said, "You were right just now. You almost killed , and this matter isn’t settled yet. If you refuse to offer your Soul Power, then I will have to discuss with my spirit pet, Ye You, on an appropriate punishnt for you."

As she spoke, Qin Sisi reached out and held Ye You, her palm gently brushing through his soft fur.

As a ghost, he had an inherently cold aura, and with the water ghost having soaked in the sea for so many years, his aura was even colder.

But at this mont, seeing Qin Sisi gently caress that strange black cat with such a tender expression, an inexplicable chill arose inside him.

The duo seed rather eerie to him, making them hard to read.

It was a fact he was no match for them.

Since he was the one who instigated the attack and almost took their lives, how could they easily let him off the hook? He estimated that they might want his soul to scatter completely.

The water ghost contemplated for a while, and finally asked hesitantly, "If I give up my Soul Power, will my soul definitely scatter?"

Qin Sisi shook her head and replied, "No, your soul will simply scatter in different places, and after a while, they will regather, and then, you can reincarnate."

The water ghost let out a silent sigh of relief. If he could fulfill his desires and be able to reincarnate in the future, he could accept this temporary scattering of his soul.

Therefore, he nodded his head and announced loudly, "Alright, I agree."

Qin Sisi gave a ntal cheer but kept her facial expressions under control.

She cleared her throat, sat down at the edge of the bed holding Ye You, and said to the water ghost, "Great, then let’s hear about your wishes now!"

Without any hesitation, the water ghost replied, "My wishes are simple. One, to seek revenge, and two, to see my wife and child one last ti."

After a brief pause, Qin Sisi asked, "So, you were intentionally murdered, not killed in an accident?"

"Sigh..." The water ghost’s expression beca desolate, letting out a deep sigh, he began to narrate his ordeal.

"My na is Jiang Dachuan, and I was a fisherman living by the sea,

Twenty years ago, my cousin Hu Li and I went fishing in the sea. We caught plenty of fish that ti, and both of us were exceedingly happy because we knew our haul would bring us handso profit.

I was thinking about selling the fish and buying new clothes for my wife and a new toy for my child with the money.

I was too absorbed in my happiness that I could never have predicted my own cousin would betray

so horrendously.

The place you ran into

is not too far from the shore. He could have sailed back by himself. I’ve thought about it thoroughly. He must have deliberately chosen that spot to turn on .

When I was not paying attention, he pushed

into the sea and used the oar to stop

from getting onto the boat.

I struggled with all my might, but being in the sea, I was helpless. In the end, I exhausted all of my energy and drowned."

"Your cousin?" Qin Sisi repeated, perplexed.

There’s an old saying: Cousins are like one’s own flesh and blood. Considering the water ghost and his cousin were close kins, it was truly baffling how the cousin could have had the heart to murder him.

Jiang Dachuan glared with bloodshot eyes, seething with anger. "Unable to accept my premature departure from the Human World, I chose to remain in the sea as a wild ghost. I heard that if I could take over a drowning person’s body before they died, I could use their body to return to the human world. That would give

an opportunity to seek revenge."

He clenched his fist tightly, as if he wished he could tear his cousin living piece by piece.

Qin Sisi shook her head and said, "Indeed, your ordeal is sympathetic. But while knowing the pain of being a victim, how could you inflict the sa on others who are innocent?"

A look of guilt flashed across Jiang Dachuan’s face, but he quickly said helplessly, "I know it’s wrong, but I can’t accept my fate just like that. For the chance to co back to life, to take revenge, I had no other choice."

Qin Sisi watched as a mix of emotions played across Jiang Dachuan’s face but didn’t say anything more.

Being soaked in the cold seawater for twenty years while desperately clinging to hope, even if he once had good intentions and a moral conscience, they were probably washed away by the turbulent waves.

In the face of absolute despair, the first instinct is to survive. Only when life is secure can one afford to discuss kindness and humanity.
