The night was deep, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

Although humans cannot be certain whether ghosts and gods exist in this world, most people hold them in awe.

So on this special day of the Ghost Festival, apart from Li Muchen, who was a bit of a simpleton, most people rushed home before eight o'clock.

"The resentment you feel mainly comes from your heart."

As Death walked forward with his standard square steps, he kindly analyzed the current situation for Li Muchen:

"Because of prejudice, you can't help but view people with a biased perspective. No matter what they do, you'll find it unacceptable, and unconsciously develop inexplicable malice towards them. This malice easily breeds resentment, thus attracting bad things. However..."

He paused slightly, his tone becoming lower, and said:

"Logically speaking, even if you generate resentment, it shouldn't be too much. But the fact that you're currently entangled in resentment means that someone has secretly manipulated you, turning you into a vessel specifically for nurturing resentment. So, if you generate even a little bit of resentment, it will be ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times stronger than a normal person's!"

He hadn't seen this kind of tactic for a long time.

He unconsciously recalled what Ye Ming had told him some time ago.

"The human world is now filled with resentment, and even the wandering souls are haunted by it. But after a while, this resentment will disappear completely, as if it had been deliberately harvested and eliminated..."

Even the dream-eating tapir, a little creature that is believed to bring good fortune, is now tormented by the feeling of being haunted by resentment, making its life worse than death.

Many unlucky souls also fled to the underworld, saying that they could no longer stay in the human world.

Unless they keep bringing bad luck and generating resentment, they will be completely wiped out once the resentment they use to sustain their lives is completely eliminated.

Therefore, many unlucky people in the world today become vicious and ruthless in order to survive.

People who would normally just fall down due to bad luck are now falling to their deaths because of bad luck, doubling their misfortune!

Just like Xiao Xinyan's aunt...

"Is there any way to help me get rid of this?" Li Muchen looked at the Grim Reaper in front of him with teary eyes.

The child doesn't want to be haunted by resentment anymore!

Children don't want to be haunted by resentment and chased and harmed by those scary, dirty things!

At this moment, he looked more like a wounded big dog, pitiful and pathetic.

Xiao Xinyan couldn't resist reaching out to stroke her second brother's fur.

"I have a way," Lord Death replied calmly.

Upon hearing these three words, Li Muchen's eyes lit up as if he had grasped a lifeline.

But the next second, the Grim Reaper changed his tone and said, "However, I will not help you get rid of it. This is not within my scope of duty. I cannot interfere in human affairs at will. The only reason I personally came to save you this time is because of this little girl."

If it weren't for this little dumpling summoning him and asking for his help, he wouldn't have personally stepped in to help an ordinary mortal!

He even revealed his form in front of this mortal; what a lucky break for him!

He was coldly rejected by the Grim Reaper.

The light in Li Muchen's eyes dimmed noticeably. Who can save the child?

"Don't be afraid, Second Brother, Yan Yan will protect you!"

The soft, sweet voice of the little girl reached Li Muchen's ears, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the little bundle of joy beside him.

The little boy smiled at him with his eyes crinkled, and said energetically, "Yan Yan has a treasure that Master Xu gave to him, it's super powerful!"

As she spoke, she deliberately showed off the ebony rooster pendant tied to her wrist.

In the little girl's eyes, the reason she was able to escape danger and encounter all sorts of magical things was because of this little rooster.

The Grim Reaper glanced indifferently at the little rooster that Xiao Xinyan had displayed, his inner monologue:

Hehe, what an innocent little human! The little rooster on you can only dispel a little bit of evil spirits and act as a talisman; it's not a powerful treasure at all!

However, this little cub does indeed possess something quite remarkable...

"I...I can protect myself."

Li Muchen remained arrogant, mainly because he didn't want to appear too timid in front of Xiao Xinyan.

He tried his best to keep his back straight, maintaining his masculine dignity, and said:

"I will be more careful in the future and try my best to keep those messy things away from me."

Her second brother still seemed cold towards her. Xiao Xinyan pursed her lips slightly, a clear look of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

"Young man, boasting is not a good habit! And don't underestimate this human cub beside you. Although she is younger than you, she is much stronger. If she hadn't seen the danger she was in and brought me here to save you, you would have been reporting to the King of Hell tonight!"

The Grim Reaper seemed to disapprove and said something to Li Muchen.

In fact, after some calculation, he discovered that this young man was destined for many bloody disasters, but with the help of the little boy's good fortune, many of them had already been averted.

Although Li Muchen has had some bad luck lately, it's nothing compared to losing his life.

"Alright, I'll leave you here. You can walk the rest of the way on your own!"
