Chapter 14: Fighting Ghosts Without Any Resistance

Zhu Huai stared blankly at the scene in front of him. His black hair was messy and soft, and there were faint red marks on his face. He looked like he had just woken up and was not fully awake yet.

In Liu Xiang's eyes, this look was like a large ball of fluff stuffed in his chest, making him feel itchy.

He wanted to drive the ugly thing out immediately so that he could finish the task he had just unfinished.

"Ah!" The leather puppet of the female ghost with a broken leg suddenly screamed. What had just happened was not over yet.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Huai finally came to his senses: "Is the evil ghost that just appeared here to find you?"

He spoke to the female ghost with a broken leg, but she did not answer. Instead, it was as if her soul was captured by some force and she became a puppet in the hands of others.

Inside the ancient temple, the eyes of the monk who was remotely controlling the evil spirit flickered slightly. He opened his hand, and a burn mark was clearly visible on his palm. This was the first time he had been injured in such a long time.

"Which layman ruined my good deeds?"

The monk spoke slowly. He was wearing a monk's robe, but his long hair was loose. He stood in front of a tall willow tree and recited something softly.

As he read out a name, the tall willow tree standing behind the ancient temple slowly raised its long willow branches.

There are many incense sticks in front of this willow tree. Each willow branch has a dark green luster, and the trunk is nailed with talismans.

Malicious words were written on each talisman, and blood-stained iron nails firmly fixed the talismans to the tree trunk. Bright red liquid flowed out of the broken gaps, making it look... like some kind of living creature.

There was a rustling sound of branches and leaves colliding, as if something heavy was being dragged in the darkness.

A willow branch hung down, and something seemed to be hanging on it. The monk raised his head, and a tablet hanging in the air and entangled by the willow tree appeared in front of him.

His face was shrouded in shadow, but he clearly read the name above: "The orphan girl Qin Yuhua, the Buddha has passed away and is reborn in the lotus position."

The moment he read out the name, the legless female ghost far away in another city seemed to be bound by something. She suddenly tore her body apart and transformed from a small leather doll into the form of a female ghost.

It lowered its head, black mist continuously escaping from its body, and faint water stains also overflowed from its body.

Its tablet is in the hands of the monks, but it cannot be itself even after death. If it disobeys the monks' orders, it will not even be able to become a ghost.

Thinking of this, it slowly raised its face and looked at Zhu Huai in the room with resentment. The next second, it rushed towards the window of the room as if it was going all in!

"It's trying to escape!"

Zhu Huai didn't expect the female ghost to react like this. He thought this guy was going to fight him to the death, but it was obvious that the female ghost was not that stupid.

Liu Xiang didn't say anything, but appeared in front of the female ghost silently. He pointed his finger, and Qin Yuhua turned into a small leather puppet again.

It was as if two invisible powerful forces were competing with each other on it. Liu Xiang and the monk both used their own methods, as if it was a battle centered on the female ghost.

"Fighting ghosts."

Yin Quan suddenly spoke, and it seemed a little scared. Its fur shrank tightly, making it look much smaller, and its comb-like tentacles drooped.

Zhu Huai became a little nervous after hearing what it said. The ghost girl's figure slowly floated up, sometimes turning into her original form and sometimes turning into a leather puppet in the air.

The black fog in the room became thicker and thicker, making Zhu Huai feel a little cold. The mermaid floated in the air, as if she had encountered something very interesting, and a streak of light flashed across her dark golden eyes.

At this moment, the female ghost in front of him suddenly spoke: "Sir, this ghost is still useful to me. Could you please spare me a hand?"

Even as she said that, a tearing sound came from the ghost girl's body. The evil ghost that seemed so ferocious before was now wailing continuously.

It is obvious that the other party does not want some of his secrets to be discovered.

When he realized that Qin Yuhua had lost control and seemed to be taken away, he sent other people to find Qin Yuhua's whereabouts.

But his luck was not very good, as he bumped into Liu Xiang under such circumstances.

Even if the real body is not allowed to go out, as a sacrifice to the gods, Liu Xiang will never let the other party go.

The two groups fought each other while testing each other, and the evil spirits were like small chess pieces in the hands of the two.

The monk murmured, "Sin."

The next second, the tablet in front of him suddenly turned and bowed straight in a certain direction!

The evil ghost transformed into its original form. It hesitated for a moment as it looked at Liu Xiang in front of it, and finally chose to bow to Zhu Huai beside it.

Choose the softest persimmons.

The evil ghost lay on the ground, its body stiff, and it bowed down heavily like a puppet in someone's hands, making a crisp sound.

The evil ghost bowed to people, and the black mist on its body suddenly rushed towards Zhu Huai.

Zhu Huai watched this scene with his own eyes. He jumped off the bed without hesitation, trying to avoid the evil ghost's bow, but he only felt that his body was slowly becoming stiff, and his hands and feet felt like they were soaked in cold water.

In a trance, he was swept by a thick black fog, and the part below the waist seemed to have lost all consciousness, and his mind was dragged into some kind of hallucination.

"Zhu Huai."

Liu Xiang called out his name, and the evil ghost stood up. Suddenly, a line of large characters appeared on its face, which were exactly the words written on its tablet.

The tablet in front of the monk was slowly raised, and he was about to kneel down again.

Liu Xiang lowered his eyes and looked at it coldly. At that moment, all the actions of the evil ghost froze.

Thick water mist replaced the black fog and surged out, but it did not come from the evil ghost, but from Liu Xiang.

A tall and huge human figure slowly raised its face, flesh and blood grew, and dense black scales intertwined layer by layer, and in an instant it turned into a fish tail that was more than three meters long.

A black-haired, pale-skinned figure appeared in the room. He looked down at the evil ghost in front of him with the posture of an emperor, and slapped it with his tail!

A heavy voice was heard, and Zhu Huai was in a daze and had a dream. A voice came to his ears, calling his name.

"Zhu Huai, Zhu Huai..."

A voice called him, he opened his eyes, but saw a strange face. She looked at Zhu Huai, like someone he knew, so familiar, who could it be?

The woman said: "Zhu Huai, I am yours..."

A force seemed to want Zhu Huai to regard her as a close partner.

However, at that moment, a male face, so beautiful that it was physically frightening and breathtakingly beautiful, appeared in front of Zhu Huai, causing him to break out in cold sweats and he was so scared that he almost woke up on the spot.

As if she had sensed that there was something wrong with Zhu Huai's sexual orientation, the woman was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I am your best friend."

"Qin Yuhua."

Zhu Huai inexplicably thought of this name, and he finally recognized the person in front of him, but for some reason, there was something wrong in the look in Qin Yuhua's eyes when he looked at him.

Zhu Huai, who didn't know that he was a gay in the other person's eyes, looked up and found that he was standing in a temple with many incense sticks in front of him.

In front of him, a tall willow tree almost blocked out the sun, and its tender green branches hung down on Zhu Huai, giving him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He looked at the willow tree in front of him and smelled the unique fragrance coming from the willow tree. In a trance, he felt as if he had returned to the Liu family.

Liu family, willow tree, Prime Minister Liu, Zhu Huai suddenly discovered that he and the willow tree had an inseparable connection, and a blank talisman inexplicably appeared in his hand.

Qin Yuhua said to him, "Zhu Huai, have you forgotten? We are here to make a wish. It is said that as long as you make a wish here, it can make your wish come true."

She seemed to have thought of something, and quietly came over to Zhu Huai and said, "You just need to worship in front of the willow tree, write the name of the person you hate on the talisman, and the wishing talisman will fulfill your wish."

“So magical?”

A pen appeared in Zhu Huai's hand, and he subconsciously recalled the names of the people he hated or had grudges against.

In his previous life, he wanted to kill his parents, bullied Liu Yao, or those who had a grudge against him in life.

Malicious thoughts emerged one after another as if being catalyzed. Zhu Huai looked at the wishing charms tied to the willow tree, but it seemed as if he could see paragraphs of malicious words from above.

'I want that damn old thing dead.'

"That yellow-faced woman is so annoying! I wish she could just disappear."

"My boss is so annoying! I wish he got hit by a car on his way home!"

Thoughts and wishes were tied to the willow tree, like invisible tumors parasitic on it, emitting a faint black aura.

Zhu Huai looked at this scene, but suddenly felt a little dazzling. If only he could untie all these things...

Seeing that he was still hesitant to act, Qin Yuhua couldn't help but urge him, "Why don't you do it? Don't you have someone you hate too?"

"Of course there are people I hate, but I never want those people to die."

Zhu Huai suddenly put away the paper and pen. This was his true thought.

He looked at Qin Yuhua in front of him. His dark eyes were like a mirror, reflecting his true side.

Zhu Huai took a step back silently and asked again, "If this temple is really so magical, why have I never known of its existence? Can you tell me the name of this temple?"

Qin Yuhua stared at him expressionlessly. Her beautiful face suddenly became blurry, as if her upper features were slowly deforming and swelling. Qin Yuhua said, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Zhu Huai: "How can you speculate about me like that? I just want to know where I am."

Qin Yuhua said: “Okay, this temple is called Lingyu Temple.”

Just as Zhu Huai wrote down the name, he heard Qin Yuhua chuckle, "I was just kidding, hehe. Want to know? Go find it yourself."

Zhu Huai silently took a few steps back, watching the female ghost in front of him slowly transform into her original form, as if she would reveal her hideous appearance at any moment.

There is really no trust between humans and ghosts nowadays.

"Why don't you write?"

Qin Yuhua tilted his head and looked at him curiously:

"Write! As long as you keep writing, all those people you hate will die. Wouldn't that make you happy?... They deserve it!"

"Don't you want to take revenge on those who bully you? Don't you have people you hate and want them to die?"

Qin Yuhua smiled and said, "As long as you write down their names, no one can blame you if anything happens."

Zhu Huai looked at her and suddenly said, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true."

"That sounds great, but you're a ghost, I don't believe you." Zhu Huai thought for a moment and added, "Hehe."

"You're a piece of trash!"

Seeing Zhu Huai's stubborn defiance, Qin Yuhua actually became angry and began to attack him personally: "Can't you even retaliate against others? It's just a few names, why don't you write them?"

"Then why are you pestering me? I wasn't the one who killed you, and I wasn't the one controlling you."

Zhu Huai said, his eyes rolled, but he encouraged: "You must hate the person who controls you, right?"

"Who ordered you to come here? I can write his name for you right now!"

"I……"

Qin Yuhua was indeed a little confused. The ghost had never seen such a scene before, so how could it dare to actually write its owner's name on it?

But this sentence still attracted it deeply. Seeing the ghost girl's hesitation, Zhu Huai lowered his voice and coaxed her like a devil:

"In life, we should be brave and move forward to face difficulties!"

"You're already dead, and even after you became like this, that guy still controlled you and ordered you around. It's all his fault that you're like this now!"

"You are already an evil ghost, why do you still obey his orders? Don't you hate him? I can help you get rid of your enemy right now!"

"Tell me his name." Zhu Huai said.

"Who ordered you here? Don't you even dare to retaliate against others? It's just writing a name, what are you hesitating about?"

"I...I..." Qin Yuhua actually became a little incoherent. It had been dead for so long, but this was the first time he heard such words.

At this moment, Qin Yuhua's eyes changed as he looked at the talisman.

Of course, it hated the mastermind who controlled it, and hated him so much that it wanted to peel off his skin and drink his blood. If it did not listen to the monk, Qin Yuhua would even lose his soul.

Its eyes erupted with astonishing violence: "No, I want to become a human! I want to live again, I don't want to be a ghost anymore, I want the body of a living person!"

Looking at this scene, Zhu Huai seemed to have thought of something: "Could this be the reason why these evil spirits harm people? Could it be that the mastermind behind this has a way to revive these evil spirits?"

For some reason, Zhu Huai suddenly thought of the ghost body-swapping mission prompt: In this city, there are many beings whose lives and everything have been taken away.

Considering what the female ghost said, does it mean that the way for it to regain its body is to occupy the body of a living person and exchange for someone else's life?

What exactly does the person who controls the evil spirits and issues the spells want to do? If this continues, sooner or later more and more people will be harmed by it, and after those who died in vain, will new evil spirits be born?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Zhu Huai became. He calmed the evil ghost in front of him and said to him, "I can help you. Tell me who he is?"

"Xu——" Qin Yuhua just wanted to utter a word, but its body seemed to be torn apart by some force, and its entire face was covered with broken cracks.

The scene in front of Zhu Huai completely shattered. A pale, powerful hand reached out towards him and held him in a cold, wet embrace.

Zhu Huai opened his eyes wide and met a pair of dark golden eyes. Liu Xiang was looking at him with his eyes lowered. His profile was covered with fine scales, and he looked neither human nor beautiful, but that beauty was filled with a sharp murderous aura.

He floated in the air, his long fish tail nearly three meters long. He was the most terrifying predator in the deep sea.

In front of him, the evil ghost's body gradually dissolved as if it was melting, and was submerged in the cold water vapor.

The tablet in front of the monk also leaked cold liquid as if it was immersed in the deep sea, and quickly turned into sharp water arrows.

He took a step back, but was still stabbed by the water arrow that came towards him, and one of his eyes lost consciousness.

"What a sin." Half of his face was soaked in blood. He chanted a Buddhist name and watched with regret as the water ghost he had worked so hard to cultivate was destroyed in the hands of others.

Zhu Huai fell into a cold embrace. He was barefoot and felt like he was almost hanging in the air. He had nowhere to rely on, and his shaking feet could only step on the mermaid's powerful fish tail.

The hard and sharp scales on it brought a cold touch, and Liu Xiang's hand was firmly grasping his waist.

He had never seen such a terrifying and huge creature. His room seemed to be filled with Liu Xiang, and even the air was squeezed to the extreme.

The wet and salty vapor filled his mouth. The distance was so close that he could only smell the scent of Liu Xiang, and even his breathing was completely blocked.

Those cold, clear, yet emotionless eyes were staring at him intently, as if they were looking at prey that interested them.

The size difference between the two meant that this handsome human could only be held tightly in the mermaid's arms.

Zhu Huai and Liu looked at each other. An indescribable sense of oppression came from the mermaid in front of them, making it almost hard to breathe.

Anyone facing such a huge and ferocious beast can only behave like a three-year-old child, ferocious, powerful, and cold. This is the feeling that Liu Xiang gives people.

There was no room for resistance. Zhu Huai's struggle was like tickling the mermaid in front of him.

"Alas." Faced with this situation, Zhu Huai seemed a little nervous. He said with a bitter face, "Put me down."
