Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking toward Tian Lingling who was crying on the floor, An Lin felt slightly stunned.
“Hey, I was only joking, why are you so easily scared?
“You actually dare accept a ghost-hunting mission with such psychological state?” he asked in astonishnt.
Tian Lingling raised her head, and upon seeing that An Lin was fine, a sulky expression appeared on her tear-stained face. She leaped toward him and started hamring his chest with her small fists.
“Waaah, you big bully! Who bullies people like that?” Tian Lingling hamred him as she bawled.
“Sniff…” She blew her nose and wiped it on An Lin’s shirt. She then continued to cry and hit him.
The corner of An Lin’s mouth twitched. He really wanted to say, ‘You’re using my shirt as a handkerchief, is that not bullying?’
In the end, he suppressed his urge to say this. After all, he was in the wrong in the first place and his joke had been a bit over the top.
Just as Tian Lingling was venting her feelings, An Lin felt as if he had heard the sound of sobbing coming from another location…
“Waah, waah, waah…
“Waah, waah, waah…”
He patted Tian Lingling’s back and said, “Listen, it sounds like there’s a ghost crying with you sowhere…”
Tian Lingling’s petite body shivered and she shouted in realization, “Big bully! You’re lying to again!”
An Lin: “…”
As the other wail beca louder and louder, Tian Lingling finally sensed that sothing was off.
Her hairs stood on end and she was terrified as she looked toward the direction of the wail.
“Hey… Do you really think that there’s a ghost there? Why is it crying with ?” Her voice was shaky as she questioned An Lin.
“How would I know? If you can, why don’t you go and ask,” An Lin answered.
Tian Lingling shrank back at the thought of this, and an expression of fear and trepidation showed on her face.
An Lin sighed softly. If he hadn’t co along on this mission, Tian Lingling would probably have been scared off by the ghost before she had even seen what it looked like.
He followed the strange noise, and Tian Lingling followed closely behind him with a yellow talisman clenched in her fists.
The wail beca louder and louder. Eventually, the wail sounded like it was right next to their ears.
They looked all around yet could not find any suspicious traces.
Where is it?
Suddenly, An Lin felt a cold chill envelop his entire body.
“Are you… looking for ?”
A hoarse voice traveled into his ears.
Imdiately afterward, a white-clothed figure suddenly hung upside down in front of An Lin.
She didn’t have a mouth or a nose, and her two eyeballs were attached by red strips of flesh that were one foot long. The eyeballs hung outside of her head and swayed about as they stared at An Lin.
“Holy f*ck!”
An Lin jumped in fright. Without any hesitation, he used his Mountain Quaking Fist!
Boom!
The golden fist enveloped the white-clothed figure, and a massive amount of power was released.
“Ahhhh…!”
The white-clothed evil spirit was taken by surprise, and the strike sent it flying back. It flew for over ten ters before thumping into the ground and laying there, shivering.
Tian Lingling didn’t even have ti to scream before seeing the evil spirit get pumled. Her mouth was agape, yet no scream was forthcoming. She could only stamr, “So strong…”
An Lin didn’t take any notice of Tian Lingling. Instead, he ran curiously toward the evil spirit.
His Mountain Quaking Fist was very powerful. So much so that even the Evil Spirit General lay crippled on the floor after being struck by it head on.
“Hmm? Its body has beco semi-transparent. Is it about to die?” An Lin wondered aloud as he neared the evil spirit.
“Yeah, that’s right! Hurry up and use that immortal spell again! Kill it, quickly!” Tian Lingling urged An Lin on as she hid behind him. She poked her head out and was a bit scared as she looked toward the evil spirit on the ground.
“No need to hurry. After living for so many years, this is the first ti I’ve seen an evil spirit. I need to examine it thoroughly…” There was a look of excitent on An Lin’s face, and he glanced at the evil spirit, full of malicious intent.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the white-clothed evil spirit bulged!
Oh, its eyes were already bulging. Its expression had never changed.
However, its flesh attached eyeballs suddenly flew toward An Lin.
“Holy f*ck! It can still move! Half-power Mountain Quaking Fist!”
An Lin was startled by this and he cast another Mountain Quaking Fist.
Boom!
The ground caved in from the power of his punch and the evil spirit was completely flattened.
“Waah, waah, waah…”
The voice of the white-clothed evil spirit was hoarse as it wailed in agony, and its body beca even more transparent.
An Lin picked up a branch and prodded the evil spirit’s long eyes. He then curled up the eyeball and flesh which had spurted out.
“Ewww… That’s disgusting!” Tian Lingling couldn’t bear to watch on.
“This is so mysterious! When I prod this transparent body, it feels like it’s real!” An Lin exclaid in surprise.
The white-clothed evil spirit was limp and powerless, and its eyes bulged. “Waah, waah, waah…”
“Huh? Say, it doesn’t have a mouth. Why is it able to make these sounds?”
An Lin had a look of curiosity and he used the branch to poke at where the evil spirit’s mouth should have been. This area of its face was a sheet of white.
When the branch jabbed this area, it sunk in like a balloon.
“Hehe… interesting.” An Lin found this very amusing, as he didn’t expect for evil spirits to be so mysterious.
“Waah, waah, waah…” The white-clothed evil spirit wailed powerlessly.
An Lin shook his head in disappointnt. “How co it only knows this one line. Can’t it say anything else?”
Afterward, he shifted his gaze to the large bust on the evil spirit’s chest and poked at it curiously with his branch. “Is this real…”
“Waah, waah, waah…” To his surprise, tears actually started to appear on the white-clothed evil spirit’s bulging eyes.
“Ah! Why are you such a hooligan?” Tian Lingling shrieked upon seeing An Lin’s actions. She raised her hands and tossed out a warding seal.
Boom!
A golden column of light descended from the skies and blasted into the evil spirit’s body, becoming the last straw which crushed it.
Within the golden column of light, the evil spirit’s body slowly vanished. The sound of its wailing also faded into the wind and after a while, completely vanished…
“Why did you kill it?” An Lin looked unhappily toward the girl behind him and spoke with irritation in his voice. “When you should’ve been fighting with all you had, you were as timid as a squirrel. When you should’ve been warm and gentle, you were as violent as a tiger.”
Tian Lingling’s face flushed red. “But you were acting indecently just then. I can’t let you commit such cris…” she retorted softly.
An Lin grimaced. How did his act of investigating evil spirits beco one of acting indecently?
What on earth was she thinking?!
Just as he was feeling aggrieved about not having a sample to examine, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and threw a fist backward.
Bam!
A distorted black figure was sent reeling back and it lted into the darkness.
Sad and shrill cries could be heard as five wisps of black mist charged at An Lin and Tian Lingling.
Tian Lingling pulled out a ward and threw it into the mist ahead of them.
The ward shone brightly and the projection of six golden swords materialized. The swords beca a streak of light as they slashed toward the black mist.
It appeared as if the golden sword projections were very effective against the black mist. Whenever the black mist was struck by them, it was akin to water eting raging flas, and it would instantly evaporate.
After destroying the wisps of black mist, the last golden sword projection shot toward the distorted figure which had attacked An Lin a mont ago and lted into the darkness.
An Lin’s eyes sparkled, and he ran toward the direction of the last sword projection. “Hurry up! Don’t let it escape! I have to capture that thing alive this ti and thoroughly investigate it!”
Within the darkness, when the distorted figure heard this, it began to flee even quicker…
