Xu Yuan could see the distorted greed in the eyes of the child-like shadow pulling on his clothes’ hem, and felt an eerie energy attempting to pierce through the protective layer of his Soul-avoiding Clothes into his body.
Townsn et, tears and saliva abound.
With an unchanging expression, Xu Yuan gently bent over and softly patted the child’s head, his tone soothing:
“Kid,
“If you don’t want to die, you better let go of .”
“…”
As his words sank in,
the boundless space of withered willows shook, and the endless branches moved towards the shadowy child like tentacles.
The twisted little hands of the Yin Child quivered uncontrollably for a mont.
The greed and desire in those tiny sinister eyes instantly cleared up, replaced by dense fear.
“Ah…ah…mom…mom…thud!”
Cowering with low whimpers, instinctively stepping back, the child-like shadow instantly sat down on the ground.
The twisted legs flailed on the ground, the small figure struggled to scoot backwards.
Indifferent gaze, imnse pressure, and the ancient, eerie willow branches made it feel fear for the first ti…
Seeing this reaction, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This sudden appearance of the little brat had startled him.
But luckily, the Willow Ghost Blade worked.
Yin Ghosts hold a hierarchy strict in nature.
Among humans, a High-Rank Cultivator can exert pressure making low-rank cultivators struggle to breathe or even move.
This difference, when applied among Yin Ghosts, can cause the pressure effect to increase tenfold.
Of course,
the pressure Xu Yuan released through the Willow Ghost Blade was rely for show.
After all, the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow was turned into a Ghost Blade by Tian Ye twenty thousand years ago; he was rely using the Saint Level Yin Source to exert pressure, and not truly a Saint Level Ghost, but it was enough to scare.
Dealing with Yin artifacts.
Casually patting his clothes where the other’s hand had touched, Xu Yuan was about to unleash more harsh words to hold the scene, when he saw sothing that made him shudder.
In the mist,
the sinister child vanished unexpectedly from his sight.
As if it had never appeared at all.
What the hell?!
Is this Ghost Infant that strong?
After a brief mont of horror, Xu Yuan realized that he was unhard and then understood what had just occurred.
The Yin Child must have been scared and ran off.
Damn it, really like beating a snake with a stick, fearing both ends.
However, considering the opponent’s speed, even with his Fusion Cultivation Level and various powerful buffs, he could not discern the direction the child fled.
If the opponent hadn’t been frightened and had suddenly attacked…
Xu Yuan quickly halted his thoughts, repeatedly reminding himself ntally that he was a Saint Level Ghost, and continued walking towards the main hall of the mansion.
Having co all this way, he must et the young woman.
After calming down, Xu Yuan recalled the incident, gradually regaining his focus.
Living in deserted wilds, truly dwelling in a female ghost’s lair.
Unfortunately, this female ghost is already pregnant; he probably can’t play Ning Caichen, only try to be Yan Chixia.
Of course,
playing the Black Mountain Old Demon is also not out of the question.
Thinking about a bunch of random things to calm his nerves, Xu Yuan returned to the main issue.
The encounter with the little ghost was more beneficial than detrintal overall.
It clarified what exactly Lady Wan was and why she was wary of him.
But there were still so doubts.
Logically, the Ghost Infant enveloped by shadows should be an underling of Lady Wan, similar to how the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow once manipulated Sword Casting Valley’s myriad of thorn trees, but this Ghost Infant took the initiative to provoke him after Lady Wan’s concession.
This was strange.
A test by Lady Wan?
Unlikely.
Over the past two decades here, Lady Wan had never made any overt test against him personally.
Now that they had openly compromised and still made a move to test him, this fickleness could easily infuriate “him,” the powerful Saint Level Ghost.
Unlikely, but incomprehensible, there must be so hidden agenda.
Nevertheless, he might as well directly confront Lady Wan about this when he sees her.
What intrigued Xu Yuan even more was Lady Wan herself.
As a high-ranking Yin Ghost, it wasn’t strange for her to leave the ghostly fog or restrain her instinctual urges to kill, all of which have been docunted in ancient books.
But being pregnant completely overturned Xu Yuan’s understanding.
According to the theories studied by the Pri Minister’s Mansion regarding Yin Ghosts, such beings erge post-mortem from so as-yet unclear force, lacking any ans to continue progeny, let alone gestation.
Has there been a mutation?
The four-sided courtyard was not very large; after the Ghost Infant disappeared, it took Xu Yuan just a few monts to return to the pavilion where they first t.
The rain and mist had cleared a lot, the main hall’s open doors and the dim light inside faintly visible.
However, Xu Yuan did not see Lady Wan, but instead saw the burly servant who initially led them.
The servant, coming from peasant stock, had a sturdy fra and dark skin, quietly waiting outside the main hall.
This man, the only servant in the entire estate, had previously occupied Xu Yuan’s random musings about his relationship with Lady Wan.
