What kind of idea was this? The infant spirits were so frightened that even their calves were trembling. Jiuxi stood horizontally between the infant spirits and the ghost baby, and slowly floated the soul-binding chain in her hand towards the ghost baby. She thought she could easily catch the ghost baby, but unexpectedly, the ghost baby ran away, made a face at her, and said, "You can't catch me!"

Jiuxi's mouth twitched and he said, "Are you their leader?"

The ghost baby thought for a while and said, "That's about right!"

It was clearly a little baby wearing a red bellyband, but he used such a mature tone. Jiuxi did not choose the soul-binding lock this time, but instead muttered some spell with a dazed look on his face, and the ghost baby actually stood there motionless.

The ghost baby struggled desperately with both hands, but its body could not move at all. Jiuxi then approached the ghost baby and gently touched its body with her fingers. It was very cold, but what she felt was endless despair and resentment. This ghost baby did not have three souls and seven spirits...

She squatted down and said to the ghost baby, "Is it resentment..."

It was really beyond her expectations.

The ghost baby's face, like a dough ball, suddenly swelled up, and three-dimensional facial features appeared in front of Jiuxi. The ghost baby had two canine teeth at the corners of its mouth, which looked very cute. However, the words that came out of its little mouth were very unpleasant. "You look like you have a good level of Taoism."

Is this what a ghost baby born out of resentment should say?

The ghost baby suddenly smiled and said to the group of baby spirits, "Don't you remember the little boy who saved you?"

The eyes of the infant spirits were full of confusion, as if they could not remember anything, but Jiuxi could clearly sense that the memory of the ghost baby was formed because of the endless resentment of these infant spirits, and they actually took on a different form. The larger corpse was that of a five-year-old boy.

It was the old nanny's son... After knowing that the old nanny had done these inhumane things, the little boy secretly stole the babies away in order to save the crying babies. The old nanny didn't know that it was the little boy who did it. By the time she found out, the little boy had already been chopped into pieces by the chef in the imperial kitchen.

It's inhumane. These people...are no longer worthy of being human.

The ghost baby reached out and touched Jiuxi's cheek, saying, "It's great to feel warmth for the last time. Thank you, sister."

What's there to thank me for? Anyone would do the same.

Jiuxi sat cross-legged on the ground, and the Eternal Seal in his sleeve flew out. The golden light of universal salvation spread in the air and landed on every infant spirit. The evil spirits and hostility in those infant spirits gradually disappeared, and even the wounds on their souls were slowly healing. Lizang and Yuebai also sat down at the same time, chanting the mantra of rebirth with Jiuxi, "Namo Amitabha, Yaduotahagatayediyadiya, Yaduotahamilidupopiamiliduo..."

Rays of golden light pierced the night sky, seemingly passing through layers of thick walls and shining down, and the souls of those infant spirits disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even though the souls had disappeared, the silver bell-like laughter of those infants could still be heard, and the ghost baby also slowly dissipated. Yes, it was a ghost baby generated by resentment. Now that the infant spirits were gone, it would naturally disappear as well.

But in the blur, Jiuxi clearly felt someone kiss her cheek gently, such a cold touch, and then she saw the ghost baby's last smile and said, "Sister, thank you."
