Ye Lanyin never expected that going out would lead to such a terrifying encounter.
Last time, Yunxi Village was blessed by the Emperor of Fengdu. It's impossible to be so lucky every time, right?
The child ghost lay on the ground in agony, twisting its body violently as if tormented by an invisible force.
Her eyes grew increasingly bloodshot, and finally, she shed murky tears of blood, a truly horrifying sight.
Lin Wanwan looked around and noticed the largest locust tree next to the ancient well.
She stretched out her little hand, pointed to the child ghost on the ground, and then pointed to the locust tree not far away.
Hua Xin was terrified and tightly gripped Lin Wanwan's small hand, afraid of angering her.
Let her go to the locust tree.
"ah--"
The child ghost suddenly changed its expression violently, its blood-red eyes locking onto Ye Lanyin with endless resentment and anger, making it completely different from its previous appearance.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the child in Ye Lanyin's arms. The child was radiating golden light, as if enveloped in a sacred glow, which frightened her so much that she took a step back, her eyes filled with fear.
But in an instant, murderous intent flashed in her eyes again. Ignoring the light, she approached step by step.
"I'll kill you all, and you dare to worship her!"
"You guys are really bold to dare to worship her!"
"Since you want to die, then let's all die together, hahaha..."
The child ghost's voice was sharp and piercing, echoing through the mass grave, sending chills down one's spine.
Ye Lanyin was stunned by the terrifying atmosphere. Her voice trembled as she tried to explain.
"Young lady, please don't come any closer. We didn't mean to offend you; we're just expressing our gratitude..."
"Whether you do it intentionally or unintentionally, worshipping her is a capital offense."
Hua Xin held Ye Lanyin tightly behind her, saying, "You can kill me, but you're not allowed to kill my wife."
"Mother, she's not that child ghost; she's being controlled."
Quick, run to the locust tree.
Without thinking twice, Ye Lanyin grabbed Lin Wanwan with one arm and Hua Xin with the other, and ran towards the locust tree by the dry well.
The moment she stood under the locust tree, she could feel the chilling coldness emanating from it, making her shiver.
"Mother, don't be afraid. This place is full of wronged spirits who will only seek out those who want to take your life."
Ye Lanyin: "..." Child, don't say that your mother isn't afraid. But the moment you said that, your mother started trembling with fear.
When the child ghost saw the three of them coming this way, it immediately changed direction and headed menacingly towards the locust tree again.
Sunlight filtered through the locust tree and shone on the child ghost, and soon countless livid spots appeared on her face.
"Give me your life!"
She smiled sinisterly, extending her pale, sharp claws. With a wicked grin, she approached the locust tree, closing in on the three of them.
At this critical moment, the child ghost suddenly let out a cry of "Ah!"
The child ghost collapsed to the ground, its originally scarlet eyes now empty and devoid of color.
Wanwan nervously slid off Ye Lanyin, gathering her merits, and then reached out her small hand to touch Ye Lanyin's forehead. A golden light entered her body.
The child ghost awoke with a start and saw himself under the blazing sun, his hands and feet covered in lividity. Terrified, he covered his head and crawled under the locust tree.
Ye Lanyin quickly picked up Lin Wanwan from the ground and ran out from under the locust tree with Hua Xin.
"Wanwan, you scared your mother to death! How could you touch that thing so casually?"
Her eyes were so red she looked like she wanted to kill someone, but the little guy didn't care at all about his mother's existence.
Her heart couldn't take it, and she didn't know how many more times she would have to encounter something like this in the future.
He thought to himself, "When I go back this time, I must pray for some blessings of peace and good fortune to bring back for Wanwan to wear."
"Little sister, did you save me?"
The child ghost didn't want to show herself and scare them, but since she was forced to reveal herself, she stopped hiding.
Lin Wanwan nodded her little head.
The little ghost stretched out his small hand, wanting to shake hands with Lin Wanwan, but Ye Lanyin stepped back again.
The little boy lowered his head, feeling wronged, knowing that what he had done was indeed abrupt.
Then his eyes lit up again, "Little sister, who is your brother?"
Seeing that she meant no harm, Ye Lanyin relaxed her guard.
“Little sister, I was really abrupt just now, and I started to worship without asking you. I am the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Nine years ago, my child was abandoned in a mass grave. I came here to see where he was, to look for his traces, and to see if he was taken away by someone. I never thought that my worship would almost cause you to lose your soul.”
"Mother, Second Brother isn't dead!"
[The child next to Father is my second brother.]
The book only mentions that the second brother was found by his biological father in the mass grave, but it doesn't mention who it was. It only says that he had the scent of dragon's blood. She didn't recognize her brother because she didn't recognize her father.
No wonder I felt there was a slightly familiar aura about Brother Xiao Chengyun; it turns out it was Long Tingxiang.
I heard that Father often goes to war, which is probably because I am rarely by Father's side.
She only learned about the Dragon's Breath Incense because she had accidentally smelled the Emperor's scent when she was in Heaven…
It turns out that, just like in heaven, there is a distinction between noble and noble scents on earth.
Ye Lanyin paused slightly, but was quickly distracted by the child ghost's words.
"So the child who cried at my grave nine years ago was my wife's son."
“He was almost eaten by a dog back then. Luckily, I heard the crying and came out to chase the dog away.”
Tears welled in Ye Lanyin's eyes; she was nearly scared to death. "Eaten by...eaten by a dog?"
"Yes, madam, I vaguely heard a woman come here and say that it should be eaten clean."
Ye Lanyin took a step back in fright. "Little girl, do you know who that person is?"
