Chapter 120 Immortality

After the monk finished speaking to the group of old ladies, they all agreed.

He shouted for Chu Ci to move aside and demanded that the master catch the little devil.

Seeing that he had achieved the result he wanted, the monk looked at Chu Ci with a smile in his eyes.

"Master Chu? May I address you that way?"

The monk smiled gently, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"I know you must be very unhappy right now, but I can definitely sense that you're raising a ghost."

"If Master Chu wants to prove his innocence, why don't we go in and take a look?"

"The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty. Master Chu will let us in, won't he?"

The way the monk spoke made it sound like he was guilty for not letting him in.

But looking at the little devil clinging to his back, Chu Ci glanced at Black Bean, who was fast asleep on the table.

She smiled, pursing her lips, "Of course."

As she gestured for him to enter, she looked at the monk and smiled, saying:

"This is your own choice, Master. Don't blame me if you can't get out."

"Of course."

The monk smiled outwardly, but inwardly rolled his eyes.

He'll be out soon; by then, this shop's reputation will be ruined!

He confidently went in, but instead of seeing the little devil he had let in, he immediately spotted Li Lecan sitting on the table.

Upon meeting the monk's gaze, Li Lecan immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh no! This master is truly skilled! He can see her!

She stood up and tried to run, but it was too late.

The master suddenly took out a small black flag and waved it at Li Lecan.

"receive!"

Li Lecan immediately felt an excruciating pain, as if his heart and bones were being ripped apart, shooting up from his limbs and bones. He screamed in agony.

"mom!!!"

As soon as she called out, her younger brother, Li An, rushed out of the kitchen.

Seeing her sister lying on the ground, about to be sucked away by a small black flag, her face turned pale.

"Dad! Mom! Someone's trying to kill my sister!"

His shout startled Mr. and Mrs. Li, who rushed out immediately.

By the time they rushed out, the son had already bitten the monk's hand.

The monk screamed twice, dropping the small black flag in his hand to the ground, but grabbed Li An by the back of the neck.

His expression showed pain, but his eyes gleamed with a mixture of anger and excitement at having discovered a treasure.

"One body, two souls, excellent! I never expected this shop to have such a treasure!"

Ang Lee struggled painfully as the man grabbed the skin and flesh of the back of his neck.

"Dad! Mom! Help me!"

Holding a rolling pin, Li Ma struck the monk without a second thought.

"Where did this bald monk come from! Let go of my son! Let go of my son right now!"

She struck the monk's hand, and the monk screamed in pain, immediately releasing Li An from his grasp.

"mom!"

Li An, pale-faced, rushed into his mother's arms.

Ignoring the pain in his neck, he pointed at the monk and shouted.

"He's trying to kill my sister!"

Li's father couldn't see his daughter, whose body was about to disintegrate on the ground, but he could see his son being bullied.

He quickly stepped in front of his wife and children, angrily shouting, "You monk, what are you thinking!"

The monk clutched his hand, which had been slapped, and his eyebrows drooped.

He glared at Li's mother, then his gaze fell on Li An in her arms, a greedy glint in his eyes.

He straightened up, mustered his strength, and waved to those behind him.

"They were all possessed by demons and bewitched!"

"Quickly, take them back! This master is going to do a good deed today and exorcise the evil spirits for them for free!"

As he spoke, several bodyguards in black suits emerged from the crowd.

Amid cheers from a group of elderly women, they grabbed Ang Lee and his parents, trying to leave.

Ang Lee struggled with his parents.

"Let me go! Who are you? I don't know you!"

An elderly woman excitedly tried to persuade them, "You don't even recognize the alchemy master?!"

"Master Jin appears on various programs frequently, haven't you all seen them?"

The old lady kindly advised, "Since Master Jin says you are possessed by evil spirits, then you must be possessed!"

"The master's appearance fee is very expensive. You should be grateful if he can exorcise the evil spirits for you for free!"

The old lady wasn't a hired shill; she genuinely believed in this monk, Master Jin.

When talking about how lucky Ang Lee's family is, their eyes seem to sparkle.

Chu Ci was furious.

She helped Li Lecan up from the ground and winked at the fat monk.

"Move the psychic chair to the room over there and let them sit for a while."

She handed the umbrella in her hand to the fat monk.

The fat monk took it and nodded quickly.

Although he was colleagues with Chu Ci, he really didn't want to go against this Master Jin.

He can't beat them!

Chu Ci grabbed the bodyguard who was about to kidnap Li An and forcefully pried his hand off, causing the bodyguard to cry out in pain.

"ah!"

Taking advantage of his weakness, Chu Ci threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

As Ang Lee was released, he lunged at the bodyguard who was holding his mother.

Open your mouth wide, shout, "Let go of my mother!"

The moment she bit into the bodyguard's hand, the bodyguard grabbed her hair with his other hand.

"Damn it, you little brat, you're a dog!"

The bodyguard grabbed Ang Lee's hair, about to hit him, when Ang Lee's mother raised the stick high.

"Don't you dare bully my son!"

A stick struck him on the head, and the bodyguard's vision went black.

Li's mother hugged her son tightly and shouted anxiously to the crowd of onlookers:

"Stop looking! Call the police! I don't know them at all!"

But what she received in return were reproachful looks from the old ladies.

"You family! You're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, you're not kind-hearted at all!"

"So many people are begging Master Jin to help them, but he doesn't have time. Now he's helping you for free, and you're attacking his bodyguard!"

"It's no good! Your whole family has been deceived by that Master Chu, and you still treat her like a treasure!"

"Get away from her quickly and go with Master Jin!"

Standing in front of the old lady, Master Jin also looked righteous, pointing at Ang Lee's family.

“You’ve been scammed. Come here now, and I won’t hold it against you.”

"But if you remain so stubborn, I won't be polite!"

Li's mother: "Pah! Who do you think you are! You're so rude to us! I'm going to call the police and have you arrested!"

Ang Lee pointed at Master Chin and said, "You bullied my sister, you're the bad guy!"

Upon hearing him mention something about an older sister, Master Jin realized that the female ghost had already escaped in the chaos.

But it doesn't matter, this child's dual souls are a great tonic.

His eyes hardened, and he gestured to his bodyguard.

The bodyguards, who had gotten up from the ground, charged at Li An's family again.

Seeing them charge at him again, Chu Ci showed no mercy this time.

He kicked the biggest bodyguard in the lower abdomen, and the bodyguard squeezed his legs together.

"Ah!" She rolled on the ground in pain.

"ah!"

The dart let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

The other bodyguards felt a chill between their legs and froze in place, not daring to rush forward.

Master Jin was so angry that his eyes widened, and he pushed the bodyguards away one by one.

"What are you standing there for? Get up there and get to work!"

Seeing that the bodyguards didn't move, he pulled out his trump card.

"Are you not moving because you don't want this month's salary?"

Since it concerned their salaries, the bodyguards had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up.

This time they were on guard and avoided being kicked in the groin.

Although he didn't gain any advantage over Chu Ci, he easily subdued Li An and his parents.

Seeing Ang Lee being restrained, Master Jin became excited.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's that kid!"

"He's the most possessed, get him to the car quickly!"

The bodyguard immediately agreed.

Just as Master Jin was smugly watching Ang Lee and was about to follow the security guard to the car, he suddenly heard a soft meow.

Master Jin stopped in his tracks.

Turning around, I saw a piece of blue cloth slowly rising from the black table.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small black cat with a scarf around its neck.

"What a wretched little cat!"

He rolled his eyes at the cat and was about to leave, but the cat suddenly rushed out with a meow.

The moment the claw touched his body, Master Jin felt a sharp pain.

"Ouch! My arm!"

He screamed and tried to throw the little black cat off his shoulder.

But this tiny kitten, no bigger than his palm, seemed to be stuck to him, and he couldn't shake it off no matter what he did.

Not only could it not shake off, it also bit right into the small flag in his hand that was shrouded in black mist.

Black Bean held the flag in its mouth, its eyes shining.

Delicious! This is full of delicious food!

"Ah! You damn cat!"

He raised the little flag high, along with the little black cat that was biting the flag, and slammed it against the wall.

Black Bean slammed against the wall with a thud, letting out a scream.

"Black beans!"

Chu Ci stared wide-eyed at Master Jin.

Master Jin clutched his shoulder, wincing in pain, but shrugged smugly and gave her a cold snort.

"What are you looking at? It's a dead cat. I'll just pay you back!"

He took out his wallet, took out ten yuan and threw it on the ground.

"Ten yuan should be enough, right? You can't even get a decent cat for that price outside!"

Chu Ci: "..."

She stared at the smug smile on the monk's face, her fists clenching tightly at her sides.

Just as she was about to rush forward, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past Master Jin.

"Meow!" It tore off half of the demon's head.

A piercing scream pierced everyone's eardrums.

Even the hard-of-hearing elderly women couldn't help but cover their ears, their hearts skipping a beat.

Such a loud scream, something must have happened.

I straightened up and looked into the store:

Those who shouldn't be standing are standing, except for Master Jin, who is wearing a golden robe and is lying on the ground.

He seemed to be having an epileptic seizure, clutching his shoulder, his eyes rolling back, lying on the ground convulsing.

A group of elderly women were startled.

"master!"

"Master Jin!"

The old ladies quickly gathered around and saw that Master Jin's eyes were rolled back, and his once fair face was now covered with black veins.

It is especially dense around the eyes and lips.

His pained and ferocious expression startled several elderly women who were standing nearby.

"A ghost...a ghost!"

The old ladies were so frightened that they scrambled out of the shop, using both their hands and feet.

Chu Ci hadn't expected Master Jin to turn out like this, so she quickly called an ambulance.

Turning his head, he saw the fat monk standing next to Master Jin, huffing and puffing as he tried to pull off the golden cassock from his body.

"Stop digging! They're clinging to you!"

Chu Ci slapped the fat monk away and then picked up the phone to call the police.

By the time the ambulance took Master Jin away and the police took his statement and left, it was already evening.

Black Bean nestled in Chu Ci's arms, licking its paws and eating the fish cake he had specially bought for it, making gurgling sounds in its throat.

Li Lecan and Xiaomin were lying on the table. Li Lecan was surrounded by his parents and younger brother, who were concerned about him, while Xiaomin looked through the transparent door of the shop.

Looking out the window at the street bathed in the warm orange glow of the streetlights and the bustling crowds, I wonder what I was thinking.

"master."

Li's mother anxiously approached Chu Ci and glanced around; there was no chair.

Although she couldn't see it, she could tell from her son's words that her daughter's condition wasn't very good.

She nervously held Chu Ci's hand, her eyes red.

"Master, if Can Can's condition is really not good, then let's not keep her and let her be reincarnated."

Li Lecan looked up, "Mom..."

Chu Ci glanced at Li Lecan's condition.

Even when she was sitting in the psychic chair with most of her body lying on the psychic table, her soul was still very transparent.

It has come to the point where they have no choice but to be reincarnated.

"Let's wait another ten minutes," Chu Ci said, glancing at the time. "Let her soul stabilize a bit more."

"Otherwise, if you go directly to reincarnation, you might be born with a disability in your next life."

Mrs. Li's face paled, and she quickly nodded.

She returned to her son's side and then spoke with her daughter through him for a while.

Ten minutes felt both rushed and long.

The fat monk volunteered, "Sister Chu, let me help you send her to be reincarnated."

Chu Ci glanced at him, "You?"

"Yes, that's me!" The fat monk puffed out his big belly.

He smiled and said, "What if that Master Jin comes back? You're not here, so who among us can defeat him?"

"Call the police. By the time they arrive, they'll have already taken us all away."

He rubbed his hands together. "Why don't I send this young lady to be reincarnated, and you can stay here and manage the shop, Sister Chu?"

Chu Ci thought he made sense and nodded gently.

"Okay, then you take her to be reincarnated later, and remember to put her on the boat before coming back."

"Understood, Sister Chu!" The fat monk smiled, his eyes crinkling. "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

As the departure time drew closer, Li Lecan spoke a few words with his parents and younger brother, then turned his gaze to the sullen Xiaomin.

"Xiaomin."

She reached out to take Xiaomin's hand, but Xiaomin just glared at her coldly.

As he looked away, he also withdrew his hand.

Li Lecan: "..."

Looking into Xiaomin's unfamiliar eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

Thinking of something, she said nervously, "Xiaomin, you..."

"Don't call me Xiaomin, my name isn't Xiaomin!"

Xiaomin glared at her with disgust, then quickly turned her back.

Li Lecan: "..."

Although she didn't know why Xiaomin treated her this way, she was genuinely happy for her because she knew that Xiaomin had regained her memory.

He smiled gently and said, "So what's your name? I never expected that I would know your real name so close to your reincarnation."

However, her happiness was met with Xiaomin's hateful gaze.

"Are you happy to be able to be reincarnated?"

Li Lecan: "..."

"Small……"

She pursed her lips, looking at the completely unfamiliar Xiaomin across from her, and at the inexplicable hatred in her eyes, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

"What...did I upset you?"

She thought that Xiaomin felt unbalanced because she had found her parents, which was why she acted this way.

Just as she was about to speak, Xiaomin suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

The loud noise startled Chu Ci and the fat monk, and Li An also looked over in astonishment.

Xiaomin ignored the reactions of others, staring at Li Lecan across from her with bloodshot eyes, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred.

"What are you being innocent about? And what are you so proud of?"

"Your parents treat you well, you're very lucky, so does that make you so great?!"

Li Lecan was completely bewildered by the scolding.

"I'm not..."

She couldn't understand how her best friend, who had been celebrating with her just yesterday, had changed so much after going out for a short while.

She tried to explain, but Xiaomin just gave a cold smile, her sharp eyes fixed on her.

"What isn't it? Isn't it showing off? Isn't it being smug?"

Xiaomin gritted her teeth, squeezing out the sound through her clenched teeth.

"You have parents who love you very much, but they neglected their only son because of you."

"You were already very lucky. Why didn't you just die obediently back then? Why did you have to cause so much trouble!"

"If it weren't for you, if it weren't for you resisting Huang Wenhui back then, how could I have been targeted by him?"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be dead!!!"

Her shrill voice echoed in the shop, and her body was enveloped in swirling black energy.

The fat monk's expression changed drastically. "Oh no! She's going to turn into a vengeful ghost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaomin suddenly pounced on Li Lecan and grabbed her neck tightly.

Li An's eyes widened, "Sister!"

He rushed towards Li Lecan, but was suddenly pushed away by Xiao Min.

The small body flew out and crashed hard into the frame, and Li An let out a painful groan.

Li's parents, unaware of what had happened, quickly caught their son.

Anxious: "Xiao An, are you alright?"

Li An shook his head and looked at his sister and Xiao Min.

The two ghosts had been pulled apart by Chu Ci and the fat monk, one on each side.

Chu Ci, holding down Xiao Min who had suddenly sprang to attention, shouted:

"What are you doing! What does your death have to do with Li Lecan!"

Black veins, just like Master Jin's, appeared on Xiaomin's ashen face, and her eyes were bloodshot.

"It's her! She's the one Huang Wenhui chose as the mother! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been targeted at all!"

Chu Ci held down her struggling body. "Were you also killed by Huang Wenhui?"

Xiaomin remained silent, but did not refute.

Chu Ci was furious. "Since you know you were killed by Huang Wenhui, why are you taking your anger out on someone else?!"

"I was killed by Huang Wenhui, but if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been targeted at all!"

Xiaomin seemed like a completely different person; even though she was being held down, she still rushed towards Li Lecan.

Chu Ci had no choice but to tie her up with the Soul-Hooking Rope.

Ten minutes had passed, and Chu Ci instructed the fat monk to escort Li Lecan to be reincarnated.

Li Lecan shook his head, "Master, I don't want to go!"

She looked at Xiaomin on the ground and did not blame her for what Xiaomin had just done.

"I want to wait for Xiaomin..."

"Oh dear, don't wait for her! Look at yourself, you're practically falling apart!"

The fat monk wrapped the soul-snatching rope around Li Lecan's hand and gently pulled it.

"They already want to tear you apart, and you still want to wait for her to join them."

"Don't wait any longer, hurry up and reincarnate while you still can."

Li Lecan said, "She won't tear mine. We've been together for so many years, she just acted on impulse..."

The fat monk sighed.

"Think what you want."

He pulled the snare rope.

"It's time for you to be reincarnated."

After saying that, he waved to Ang Lee.

"If you have anything else to say, please say goodbye to your family one last time."

Despite the pain in his back, Li An walked to his sister's side and looked up at Li Lecan's pale face.

"Sister, don't worry about me. I will take good care of Mom and Dad. Don't worry about them."

Li Lecan smiled and said, "Yes, you should take good care of yourself too."

She looked at her parents, but their eyes weren't focused on her; yet she knew they were watching her.

"Xiao An".

She knelt down and hugged her younger brother.

"I'm sorry, please don't blame Mom and Dad."

Ang Lee blinked, his eyes glistening with moisture.

"No, we've never blamed our parents."

Li Lecan: "..."

She let go of her younger brother, looked into his eyes, and opened her mouth.

"Who are you……"

Ang Lee took her hand and repeated himself.

"We've never blamed our parents."

The fat monk stared at Li An for a couple of seconds, then quickly looked away.

He brandished the soul-reaping rope in his hand. "It's time to go."

He summoned the Gate of Hell and pulled Li Lecan up.

"Let's go, it's time."

Li Lecan stared intently at his parents, without moving.

"Master, wait for me a moment."

She ran over suddenly and rushed towards her parents.

The moment she touched them, her body scattered like dust.

Feeling the familiar chill, Li's mother's eyes instantly reddened.

"Cancan?"

Li Lecan's body solidified behind her parents, and her eyes reddened as she watched their hands flailing wildly in the air.

Goodbye, Mom and Dad.

This really is goodbye...

The fat monk sighed, "Let's go, it's really time to leave."

The fat monk led Li Lecan away from the gates of hell, and the eerie atmosphere in the room immediately lessened by more than half.

Looking at the empty house, Li's mother collapsed to the ground.

Reaching out to her son, "Xiao An, your sister..."

"My sister has already left."

Ang Lee held his mother's hand and his father's hand with the other.

"It's time for my sister to go."

Ang Lee's mother was stunned for a moment, then hugged her son and burst into tears.

Xiao Min, who was being held down by Chu Ci, watched Li Lecan walk into the Gate of Hell. Her strength to struggle seemed to vanish instantly, and she collapsed to the ground.

Chu Ci glanced at Li An's family, who were crying with their heads in their hands, and led Xiao Min to an empty room, where she also brought over a spirit chair.

I asked her, "What is this 'fetal mother' you just mentioned?"

She knew who Huang Wenhui, whom Xiaomin was talking about, was.

That was Inspector Wong's son, the one who tricked Lee Lok-chan into committing a crime, and then accidentally killed her.

Xiaomin sat on the spirit chair, her whole body enveloped in warmth, and the dull pain of her soul burning instantly disappeared.

She let out a long sigh of relief and looked up at Chu Ci with her tired eyes.

His scarlet eyes returned to normal, and most of the black aura around his body disappeared.

"The mother..."

Her voice was hoarse.

The moment she lowered her eyes, a flicker of regret crossed her gaze.

She covered her face, and a muffled sound came from her palm.

“I’m not sure exactly what it was. But after my parents sold me to Huang Wenhui, that’s definitely what he called me…”

She sat in the chair, rolling her eyes to look at the overhead light emitting a cold glow.

The cold white light condensed into a small dot and fell into her eyes, but she didn't feel uncomfortable like she would when she was alive.

She blinked, and her memory returned to a rainy night many years ago.

"My name is Lu Qing. I attend Mingguang School. I am a junior to Huang Wenhui and Li Lecan, and a classmate of Min Min."

Nine years ago, my parents sold me to Huang Wenhui in order to pay for my younger brother's medical treatment.

"Huang Wenhui told me that he originally planned to find a classmate whose birth chart was auspicious to be the mother of the spirit child, but that girl died."

“My birth chart is the same as that girl’s, so he approached me and asked me to be the mother of the spirit fetus.”

As she spoke, her eyes darted around blankly, then she looked at Chu Ci.

In his usually introverted and obedient eyes, there was a barely perceptible coldness and obsession.

"Do you know what a spiritual embryo is?"

Before Chu Ci could answer, she gave a blank smile and provided her own answer.

"A drug that treats the fetus as a supplement."

"Find a fetus that is connected to you by blood but has not yet been born, and let it suffer the bites of the five poisons while it is in the mother's womb."

"If the fetus can still be born alive, it will be full of resentment, and that will be a qualified spiritual fetus."

"Huang Wenhui and his father believed that such a resentful fetus could fight poison with poison and make people live forever."
