Chapter 322 City of Rebirth

I reckon there must be some requirements for this newborn soul to go to other areas.

Another thing is that this ghost realm actually governs the ghosts of many other planes. Their business is really extensive!

The group got so engrossed in their conversation that they completely forgot about the female ghost and the black ball of fur outside the shop.

Being ignored like this made the female ghost even angrier, and she squeezed the black ball in her hand hard.

As she moved, the black ball of fluff, which had been struggling to escape the female ghost's grasp, suddenly seemed to deform and couldn't help but let out a sharp, piercing scream.

The sound appeared abruptly and was extremely piercing, echoing continuously in the silent wilderness, adding to the eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

The sudden sound drew Gu Xinyan and the others' attention back, and the female ghost's lips curled into a sinister smile.

The next second, he stuffed the black thing he was holding tightly into his mouth and started eating it with smacking sounds.

The black dumpling disappeared just like that, regretting its greed at the last moment.

If you can't get in after a few more tries, you should leave. Now you've completely ruined yourself!

The people inside the store: "........."

Although the scene was not very aesthetically pleasing, they still hadn't figured out what that black ball was.

The only thing we know is that the black ball of dough seems to have been brought from an ancient battlefield.

[Host, I know what that is.]

Seeing that everyone looked confused, Xiaobai quickly spoke up, explaining that it had scanned the black ball as soon as it came out and that's how it found out what it was.

[Host, that black ball is a spirit formed from malevolent and ghostly energy. However, because our shop is special, spirits with ill intentions towards us cannot enter.]

Another thing is, this guy must have been waiting for us outside the store for a long time, but what Xiaobai didn't expect was that he somehow followed us here.

This stuff is incredibly nourishing for ghosts; that guy was just unlucky!

Upon hearing this explanation, Gu Xinyan and the others were speechless.

Well! This black ball of fluff is really unlucky. If only we hadn't harbored ill intentions towards them back then.

If we had avoided them earlier, we wouldn't have been mistakenly brought here by the shop, and we wouldn't have been swallowed whole by the female ghost.

That's terrible! Absolutely terrible! They had only just discovered this guy when he logged off; that was incredibly fast!

After the female ghost finished chewing the black dumpling, her scarlet eyes swept over Gu Xinyan and the others once again.

After staring at them for a few seconds, he suddenly dashed off in their direction.

The speed was extremely fast, but the next second, the female ghost was thrown away by the suddenly lit protective shield and crashed heavily into the woods not far away.

With a whoosh, the already withered tree was smashed down, leaving only a trunk.

A hint of doubt flashed in the female ghost's scarlet eyes, but then her gaze hardened even more. She turned and charged toward the store again.

But after being knocked away several times, the female ghost stopped trying to rush forward, her scarlet eyes filled with resentment and hatred.

These delicious-smelling foods are only for looking at, not for eating. I don't know what went wrong with the Ghost King lately, but he suddenly sent ghost messengers down to capture these evil ghosts.

She was living a good life in the Ten Realms, and occasionally she could even devour some of those new souls.

Anyway, most of those new souls have no background. As long as they are careful not to look for those with ancestors who are not among them, they will be fine.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost King suddenly went berserk and tried to capture these lonely ghosts. Several of them were captured by the ghost messengers.

She had received some advance warning and ran fast, otherwise she would definitely have been captured by those ghost messengers by now.

Although she didn't know what the Ghost King wanted to do with them, her intuition told her that it was definitely not a good thing, so she didn't want to be captured.

The days of hiding and running were really tough. There were also a lot of ghost guards at the entrance to the new soul and near the City of Rebirth, so there was no chance to eat some new souls to replenish one's strength.

To her surprise, just as she was getting hungry, a white light flashed in front of her, followed by a strange house that was actually glowing, and it was frighteningly bright.

She was about to get closer to take a look when she suddenly noticed a small creature that smelled unusually sweet, which fascinated her.

So they grabbed him and were just about to start eating when they saw several strangers come out of the house!

Yes, it really was a living person, a living person with flesh and blood, unlike those ghosts. It smelled wonderful, so wonderful that she wanted to pounce on it and take a big bite.

However, she was very dissatisfied with the way these people ignored her afterward, even though she didn't know how these living people had come to the ghost realm.

But since we're here, let's not leave. We'll be good food for her.

She was just worried about not having anything to eat during this period of time, and these people came at the perfect time. After they all finished eating, she would be full for a long time and wouldn't have to worry about those newborn souls all the time.

However, the more optimistic they were just thinking, the more they were proven wrong. They never expected that this seemingly ordinary store would have such a powerful protective shield.

She felt indignant, but the several collisions she had just endured hadn't left a single mark, which made her feel somewhat frustrated.

The location here is a bit out of the way, so those ghost messengers probably won't notice this place for a while. She can finish this quickly and eat these few living souls first.

Thinking of this, the female ghost slowly stood up. Her pale, bloodless face was twisted with a distorted expression, and at that moment, wisps of black ghostly energy emanated from her body.

These ghostly energies seemed to come alive, rapidly spreading outwards.

And wherever it passed, the already withered grass on the ground was instantly corroded, making a 'sizzling' sound.

Those who knew it thought it was ghostly energy, but those who didn't might have thought it was poisonous gas. And the female ghost's body, shrouded in this ghostly energy, became even more ethereal.

The next instant, she vanished from their sight, turning into a cloud of black mist that surged toward them. However, the female ghost's plan was well-thought-out, but she underestimated the power of the protective shield.

As a result, the faster the ghost rushed over, the faster it was thrown back, and this soaring ghostly aura naturally attracted the two ghost messengers several kilometers away.
