Chapter 316: Chapter 316 Overwhelming Sympathy Chapter 316: Chapter 316 Overwhelming Sympathy The tiny figure that appeared in front of everyone was vastly different from their perception of an Evil Ghost.
Their idea of an Evil Ghost was at least a fierce-looking creature with a face full of vengeance, as if it wanted to kill everyone. However, the so-called Evil Ghost before them was just a little girl, looking to be only six or seven years old, wearing a red princess dress and holding a doll, standing there timidly, looking at them nervously.
The Little Ghost seed very afraid of the aura emanating from Zhong Niangyao, standing far away, and when looking at Zhong Niangyao, her eyes were filled with caution.
Even though the other was just a Little Ghost, Zhong Niangyao did not show any change; she spoke sharply, “Answer my question.”
Seemingly frightened, the Little Ghost trembled slightly, and her eyes began to well up with tears, looking pitiful.
Seeing this, the others couldn’t help but feel compassion.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, being older and having experienced more, felt so pity but made no move. Especially knowing that this Little Ghost had previously captured their son’s Three Souls, they were even less likely to do anything.
Zhao Xuanglang, though big-hearted, trusted Zhong Niangyao deeply; even seeing the pitiful Little Ghost, he said nothing.
Only Liu Zihang, who had never encountered such a situation, couldn’t help but speak, “There’s really no need to be so harsh, it’s just a child after all.”
“Big brother!” The little girl looked gratefully at Liu Zihang, casting an admiring gaze at him.
“Fool.” Zhong Niangyao glanced coldly at Liu Zihang, then continued to focus on the little girl, “You don’t need to put on such a facade here. To beco an Evil Ghost, you are definitely not as harmless as you appear. You captured Zhao Xuanglang’s Three Souls, probably to strengthen your ghost power! It’s just that you haven’t had the chance to devour him before we interfered.”
“Sister, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” The little girl shook her head, tears streaming down her face, turning into a sobbing ss, “I didn’t an to, I just wanted to play with that brother for a bit, I didn’t want to harm anyone.”
“Zhong Niangyao, you don’t need to be so aggressive!” Liu Zihang couldn’t stand it anymore; he stepped forward and pleaded, “Even if this little girl is a ghost, she might not be a bad ghost. She’s just a kid, she doesn’t understand anything.”
Zhong Niangyao said nothing and directly attacked the little girl.
The little girl, as if frightened, suddenly began to cry loudly. The sound of her crying touched everyone present.
However, Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, and Zhao Xuanglang, trusting Zhong Niangyao, did nothing but watch.
Liu Zihang, unable to watch any longer, stepped in front of the little girl, blocking Zhong Niangyao, “Stop this.”
Seeing Liu Zihang’s action, Zhong Niangyao could only stop, her gaze at Liu Zihang filled with coldness, “Move aside.”
“I won’t.” Liu Zihang stood his ground, “I won’t let you hurt her.”
He didn’t know why, but even knowing the little girl was a ghost, seeing her so pitiful, he simply couldn’t ignore it. Moreover, such a small child had already suffered, which was pitiful enough. And now Zhong Niangyao was being harsh on her, making it even worse.
“Zihang, move!” Zhao Xuanglang suddenly shouted.
Liu Zihang turned towards the voice and saw Zhao Xuanglang’s urgent expression, his face full of panic and fright, as if he had seen sothing terrifying.
Then he saw Mr. and Mrs. Zhao looking similar, Mrs. Zhao even closing her eyes, unable to look.
As if sensing sothing, Liu Zihang instinctively turned his head and saw the once innocent-looking little girl now transford into a fierce and terrifying face, rushing towards him with a sinister smile, as if to swallow him whole.
Instantly, he was terrified to his core, his mind telling him to run, but his body felt controlled, unable to move.
Just when he thought he was about to die, he suddenly heard a sharp cry, “Duck down.”
Instinctively, he crouched down so hard he almost fell seat-first to the ground.
Zhong Niangyao flung a piece of talisman paper that stuck directly onto the Evil Ghost, and it burst into flas.
“Ah—”
The chilling screams echoed through the valley, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.
The Evil Ghost staggered back several steps, continuously screaming, her body ablaze with flas, looking terribly horrifying.
“Help , help , I really know I was wrong.”
The Evil Ghost again took on the appearance of the little girl, stretching out her hands, calling for help towards Liu Zihang’s direction. Her pitiful look made one wish to rescue her imdiately.
Unfortunately, Liu Zihang had already witnessed this Evil Ghost’s deceitful nature, and felt no sympathy now, scrambling away hastily.
His rapid movent stemd from the fear of being too slow and experiencing another life-threatening event.
It was unclear how much ti had passed before the flas finally died down.
After being scorched by the talismanic fire, the soul body of the Evil Ghost had faded sowhat. She still looked like a little girl, but her face had lost its initial innocence. The fierce and vindictive look was clearly visible.
Her gaze at Zhong Niangyao was filled with ferocity and caution, as if ready to attack at any opportunity.
“Still want to help?” Zhao Xuanglang mocked Liu Zihang, “Your compassion really knows no bounds, even thinking of helping an Evil Ghost.”
Being ridiculed like this, Liu Zihang blushed, unable to even look at Zhao Xuanglang, “I didn’t an to, I really didn’t know it would turn out like this.”
Thinking back, he was still terrified. He was so close to becoming that Evil Ghost’s al. His misplaced compassion nearly cost him dearly.
