"Of course not, am I soone who's easily killed?" Luo Jin raised an eyebrow, a hint of arrogance appearing on his face.
He lowered his gaze to Zhouzhou, flicked her hair gently, watching it sway slightly, a softness in his eyes, a curve forming at the corner of his lips.
"Little girl, I didn't expect you to care so much about ."
Zhouzhou nodded earnestly, "Mainly because Dad said you have a lot of money. If you're gone, then all the money will be gone too."
At her words, Luo Jin's mouth twitched slightly. Zhouzhou looked at him and chuckled, her chubby legs wrapping tightly around him.
"I'm kidding, I don't want your money. I'll earn my own. I'm going to be a wealthy lady in the future!"
With pride, Zhouzhou lifted her chin. Luo Jin scratched his head, bent down, and lifted the little chubby girl. "Why did you co here?"
"To find you," Zhouzhou hugged him, a hint of intimacy in her embrace.
Luo Jin also felt puzzled. It seed like this little girl had been quite close to him from the beginning.
Even when he sched against her and made her pass the test, she never blad him. Ancestral Master could understand so of it.
Firstly, his sches didn't cause substantial harm to Zhouzhou. On the contrary, they led her to find amusent and accidentally beco the leader of the Wealthy group.
Secondly, as Mu Xuan had said, Zhouzhou had a bit of a "savior complex."
Children tend to not think negatively about people. He glanced at Luo Jin and sat down cross-legged, "Speak, what's the matter?"
In front of him, Luo Jin still commanded so respect. He didn't conceal anything, sitting opposite him with Zhouzhou in his arms and Little Chubby Girl's head placed aside.
"I found a building with a lot of resentnt. I searched around but couldn't find the spirit."
"Later, I discovered that the spirit seed to be trapped underground. However, the building was already constructed, and we couldn't dig it up to rescue the person.
So, I decided to extract my own soul and personally investigate."
He spoke casually, but Zhouzhou was shocked. Ancestral Master also looked at him with surprise.
Detaching the soul from the body was not a simple matter, and most importantly, it was excruciatingly painful.
Zhouzhou suddenly rembered when he extracted soone else's soul to experience the ten tortures of the underworld. She hadn't expected him to be so ruthless to himself.
But this could explain why her divination had revealed him underground. Fortunately, he hadn't been buried alive.
Contrary to their shock, Luo Jin seed unaffected, continuing, "So, I found this under the building."
With that, he took out a Soul Nourishing Talisman from his pocket, containing a spirit, unfortunately very weak.
If Luo Jin hadn't brought him out, he would have perished in a few days. Ancestral Master frowned upon seeing it.
"Is this the reason for the heavy aura in the building?"
Luo Jin nodded, "Yes, and because this person was buried alive."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes widened in disbelief. Buried alive? How agonizing! How could soone commit such cruelty? There was no need to ask; it must have been the work of the Taoist priest earlier.
Zhouzhou clenched her fists with anger, wishing to rush out and tear the person apart.
Suddenly rembering sothing, she glanced at the children around her and then pointed to herself, asking, "So, do they want to bury alive too?"
Luo Jin nodded, a coldness flashing in his eyes. Although Zhouzhou was Ye Lingfeng's daughter and had remarkable talents, she was still a mber of his Fourth Bureau.
If they wanted to act, they had to ask whether he agreed or not.
"But why do they want to bury people alive?" Zhouzhou asked, puzzled.
They built the building either for residence or business, both of which paid attention to feng shui. They shouldn't involve themselves with such heavy resentnt.
Ancestral Master seed to have figured sothing out, squinting his eyes. Luo Jin asked slowly, "Zhouzhou, have you heard of 'Da Sheng Zhuang'?"
At the ntion of it, Zhouzhou looked puzzled, "What's 'Da Sheng Zhuang'?"
She had mostly encountered orthodox techniques, not much of the dark arts. However, Ancestral Master's eyes flashed with killing intent upon hearing these three words, and his aura suddenly beca heavy.
Even as a soul, Luo Jin could barely withstand it, feeling a surge of warmth as he swallowed hard.
Ancestral Master also realized his presence and restrained his aura, sending a small golden light to him. Luo Jin felt a wave of warmth, his complexion improving significantly.
He thanked Ancestral Master and continued, "Da Sheng Zhuang is burying living people alive in the ground, sacrificing them with blood to ensure smooth construction."
"It is said that with this thod, the building won't collapse, and wealth will flow in abundantly."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's face darkened, "Absurd! Causing harm is a grave sin, and they want wealth to flow in? Disgusting!"
No wonder, no wonder the golden light on the person just now slled so foul. It was all obtained at the cost of human lives!
Ancestral Master was knowledgeable. He had known what was going on from the beginning.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "I know this thod. Indeed, so external sects want to change the feng shui with it, but the ti for that building isn't long. It shouldn't have backfired yet."
Luo Jin nodded, "Yes, but perhaps because it's inherently dark, the backlash ca quickly. The building hasn't made a profit yet, but the resentnt soared, causing accidents among the workers, forcing them to halt construction. So, the Taoist priest ca up with another idea, to sacrifice virgin boys and girls."
Children are the most innocent, and in the eyes of these evil practitioners, they're the best offerings.
Zhouzhou was furious. She couldn't believe there were such evil people in the world. They didn't just harm once but continued to do so.
No wonder Ancestral Master said when encountering such people, there was no need to be polite; they should be eradicated without rcy. They were worse than ghosts!
"We can't let them harm anyone else." Zhouzhou stood up, drew out her peach wood sword, "Brother Fox, you should return to your body first. Stay here to protect them. I'll go deal with the villains."
"Wait." Luo Jin grabbed her, "You have no evidence. You can handle the Taoist, but what about the corrupt boss?"
Zhouzhou looked at him as if he were silly, "Of course, I'll leave it to my dad."
Luo Jin: "…"
Alright, her dad was formidable. It was just a matter of making a phone call for him. Flattening a building was nothing.
When he was in a bad mood, he could even overthrow a country with ease. He let go of her hand, feeling a bit disgruntled deep down.
Jealousy.
Seeing through his thoughts, Zhouzhou patted his leg, grinned at him with her small teeth, "Brother Fox, don't be upset. I'll share my dad with you in the future. My dad is your dad. I'll be your sister. From now on, we're family, and I don't mind at all."
Luo Jin: "???"
"I do!"
