Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 526 The Effect of Lethargy Potion1

Chapter 526: Chapter 526 The Effect of Lethargy Potion_1

Now missing an arm and a lower leg, Han Zhikun didn’t hesitate to fervently tear off corresponding parts from the soul and attach them to his own body.

That spirit, who had attacked Qin Sisi before, had already been kicked by Ye You. After engaging in battle with other spirits, and then finally being harshly thrown to the ground by Ye You, was left exhausted and powerless. It could only allow Han Zhikun to steal its limbs.

With just one arm left, one leg completely gone, and the other missing the lower part, it was in a dreadful state, barely managing to survive in the Wild Ghost Village.

As spirits would continually pass by, there was still a chance to obtain soone else’s limbs while they were not yet cautious.

If luck was not on its side, it would be fated to remain here forever.

Regaining his original shape, Han Zhikun stretched his body and a smug expression appeared on his face.

Qin Sisi was disgusted by his triumphant deanour and sternly prodded him, "You can answer my question now, right?"

With a nonchalant flick of his eyes towards Qin Sisi, Han Zhikun arrogantly responded, "But that’s my privacy. Why should I tell you?"

"You..." Filled with rage, Qin Sisi slapped Han Zhikun with a resounding smack and coldly said, "You had better tell , or I can extinguish your soul right now."

She rarely resorted to physical violence, but the gall of this Han Zhikun, who had caused his young wife to contract cancer and still showed no remorse, was simply unbearable.

Clutching his slapped cheek, Han Zhikun glared at Qin Sisi while angrily clenching his other hand into a fist. The cracking of his knuckles suggested he wanted to fight back.

However, at that mont, Ye You pulled Qin Sisi into his embrace, protecting her while his purple eyes emanated a chilling intent.

Ultimately, Han Zhikun didn’t lose his cool. He realised he was no match for Ye You, so he just coldly laughed and responded with contempt: "If you extinguish my soul, then you’ll never know why I hated Liu Ying. Besides, dare you two use force in the underworld?"

Though he was morally corrupt, his intellect was high. Initially, Ye You’s threat had left him slightly daunted, but he quickly found Qin Sisi and Ye You’s weak points.

With Han Zhikun’s sharp words, Qin Sisi looked towards Ye You helplessly. If he didn’t want to talk, what were they to do? They couldn’t really destroy his soul!

Ye You shook his head slightly at Qin Sisi, indicating she should stay calm.

Upon seeing Qin Sisi and Ye You’s silence, Han Zhikun, assuming success, crossed them and started walking out of the Wild Ghost Village, eyes shining with overconfidence.

Ye You held Qin Sisi’s hand and followed Han Zhikun.

"Don’t worry, just follow him," Ye You calmly whispered in Qin Sisi’s ear.

Although she didn’t understand his intentions, Qin Sisi knew that Ye You’s actions held reason, so she did not ask further. They walked hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder.

However, Han Zhikun was just an ordinary spirit, his walking speed slow, forcing Qin Sisi and Ye You to likewise slow down.

Therefore, when the three of them finally exited the Wild Ghost Village, Lan Di, who had been waiting outside, was visibly restless.

Upon seeing Qin Sisi and Ye You erging, he heaved a sigh of relief and complained, "You’re half an hour late. I thought sothing had happened to you. If you took any longer, I would have gone in to look for you."

After his brief spiel, he turned to Ye You and teased, "Black cat, don’t tell

you were trapped by those amputated wild ghosts. If so, I’ve overestimated you."

Neither Qin Sisi nor Ye You responded. After their extensive acquaintance with Lan Di, they understood that although his words could be a bit harsh, he was reliable in critical monts.

Lan Di’s worried expression undoubtedly wasn’t feigned.

Qin Sisi smiled and waved at Lan Di, indicating she was fine, then pointed towards the slowly advancing Han Zhikun.

Realisation dawned on Lan Di as he asked, "This is the guy you’ve been looking for?"

Qin Sisi nodded: "Yes."

"Did you find out what you wanted to know?" Lan Di continued to ask.

Qin Sisi shook her head and helplessly replied, "No, he refuses to talk."

Lan Di sneered and remarked, "He truly thinks his deeds go unnoticed? Since you still have so ti and there’s no rush to return, why not just follow him and watch the drama unfold."

Qin Sisi blinked, as if realization was setting in but not quite clear.

However, since neither Ye You nor Lan Di directly stated it, she chose not to ask. The anticipation of the mystery being unveiled was also quite thrilling.

So the three of them continued to follow Han Zhikun, walking slowly.

Throughout the journey, Lan Di kept sharing amusing anecdotes from his lifeti and the underworld. The journey was long, but their shared laughter kept the monotony at bay.

Five hours later, they finally approached the next checkpoint.

From a distance, they saw a long line of spirits, orderly as if waiting for sothing.

Han Zhikun joined the queue, following the orderly procession.

As Qin Sisi contemplated whether to queue or check out what was ahead, Lan Di turned to wave her over.

Sharing a glance, Qin Sisi and Ye You ignored Han Zhikun, following Lan Di instead.

They quickly reached the front of the queue due to their fast pace.

Located at the start of the queue was a pavilion with white pillars, a black pointed roof, and a plaque bearing three black characters — Enchanted Palace.

"Enchanted Palace?" Qin Sisi echoed in a low voice, unsure about the aning of this checkpoint.

"Look over there," Ye You directed her attention to the middle of the pavilion.

Qin Sisi looked up and saw a well in the middle of the pavilion gushing water. The spring water, though slightly yellow, gave off no odd scent.

A ghost immortal in uniform was seen scooping water from the well. Once a bowl was filled, it would be handed to a spirit to drink.

After drinking the water, the spirit would leave the pavilion and head into the distance.

Ye You explained, "That’s the Lethargy Potion. After drinking it, you’ll speak nothing but the truth, confessing all the sins committed in the human world."

Qin Sisi suddenly understood, "So, after Han Zhikun drinks the Lethargy Potion, he’ll naturally reveal why he poisoned his wife."

Ye You nodded, "He is sowhat frantic now as if pushed to the edge, so threatening him might not make him talk. Even if he does, it might not be the truth. So it’s better to wait patiently. After he drinks the Lethargy Potion and reaches King Yama’s Palace, he’ll naturally speak."
