Chapter 375 Have you calmed down?
Du Ziheng felt extremely uncomfortable watching the interaction between the two.
Just as she was about to speak, You Bingyue suddenly said, "Yu Zhiyi, aren't you a member of the Xuanmen? Members of the Xuanmen take it as their duty to slay demons and protect the righteous path. Are you just going to let this female ghost harm people?"
Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow: "Who said she was harming someone? She was clearly just joking with Miss Chen."
You Bingyue: "?"
"Do you want to hear what nonsense you're spouting? You call this a joke?"
Yu Zhiyi chuckled: "Otherwise what? As a vengeful ghost filled with resentment, if she really wanted to kill someone, Miss Chen would have been decapitated in an instant. How could she still be alive and well after so long?"
In fact, she had placed a restriction on Nuan'er's ghost body.
After all, Nuan'er was a vengeful ghost who died with resentment.
In retrospect, Chen Xinyue brought this upon herself. Not only did she kill him, but she also had to torture him severely before killing him, saying many nasty things to him.
Nuan'er was already filled with resentment from being killed without cause, and the torment she suffered before her death only intensified her resentment to the extreme.
Once such a wronged soul becomes a ghost, it must at least be a red-clad figure.
Even if Yu Zhiyi hadn't made her manifest today, judging from the density of spiritual energy on Ming Mountain, it wouldn't be long before she could cultivate into a ghost cultivator.
To unleash such a vengeful ghost, Yu Zhiyi naturally had to make preparations.
So, after choking for a long time, Nuan'er only managed to leave a purplish-red mark on Chen Xinyue's neck, without killing her.
But...
Although Nuan'er couldn't kill anyone, the way she died was extremely tragic; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as "horrific."
Blood trickled from those empty eyes, and something resembling an eyeball was slowly falling out.
Blood vessels burst from the eyeballs, which were covered in flesh and blood, making them look extremely terrifying.
She grinned and screamed, her tongue inside her mouth was black.
It was black and long.
Although Chen Xinyue wasn't strangled to death, she was nearly scared to death.
The more exhilarating it felt to kill, the more terrified she became as she witnessed the karmic retribution coming her way.
Some people are just like that.
They are incredibly swift and decisive when they commit crimes, but that doesn't mean they are particularly audacious. It's just that they have a侥幸心理 (a sense of侥幸, or a belief that they won't get revenge from the victims).
If they face retaliation, they may be even more timid than ordinary people.
For example, Chen Xinyue now.
She struggled to move her neck, trying to call out to Yu Zhiyi for help.
But when the words reached his lips, he couldn't utter a single sound.
The large hand on her neck wouldn't kill her, but it also wouldn't let her cry for help.
Yu Bingyue was speechless, both angry and resentful: "Do you think the ghost of your victim would play around with the perpetrator? She clearly wanted to torture and kill her!"
Yu Zhiyi remained unmoved.
Nuan'er has been killed, and people aren't allowed to have any resentment?
If they can't kill anyone, shouldn't they at least try to scare the other side a bit?
The reason she didn't let the ghosts she encountered kill or hurt people in the past was because their targets weren't the perpetrators.
If they are the perpetrators, as long as they don't kill anyone, she won't interfere with how they retaliate.
This is permitted by the will of Heaven.
Being ignored time and time again, You Bingyue was furious and could only look at Du Ziheng: "Youlin, you should persuade Miss Jiang. Others may not know her identity, but you do. If this gets out, it won't be good for her."
Du Ziheng frowned, finding the argument reasonable, and looked at Yu Zhiyi: "Yi'er, let it go. She'll never forget this kind of revenge. Besides, it's only right that a murderer pays with his life. You can simply arrest her and bring her to justice. There's no need to torture her like this."
Yu Zhiyi looked at her expressionlessly: "Master Du, in what capacity are you trying to persuade me?"
Du Ziheng: "..."
He studied for twenty years, but in the end he only passed the imperial examination as a third-place scholar and became a minor official in the Examination and Personnel Department, which was a pain that would never go away.
Yu Zhiyi's poke almost killed him with pain.
For a moment, he forgot to continue trying to persuade her.
Even if these people weren't picky, Yu Zhiyi originally planned to make Nuan'er stop.
Although Nuan'er can't kill anyone right now, the yin energy on her ghost body is very heavy. If she pinches her for a little longer, and the yin energy on Chen Xinyue becomes heavy enough, she will die directly from this yin energy.
Nuan'er was released by Yu Zhiyi. If someone is really killed, all the consequences will fall on her.
That's enough.
Her voice was ethereal and pleasant; though it was a commanding tone, it lacked the affected authority of someone in a superior position.
Even so, Nuan'er still shivered.
She didn't understand why she was so afraid, but a deep-seated fear kept her from acting rashly.
But she was unwilling to accept it.
Forcing herself to fight against her instincts, Nuan'er "looked" in the direction of Yu Zhiyi. Although there were no eyeballs in her two empty eye sockets, Yu Zhiyi could feel the accusing gaze.
In fact, she was indeed making an accusation.
"She killed me, why won't she let me get revenge?"
As she spoke, she grew angrier and angrier, her anger overshadowing her fear of Yu Zhiyi. She screamed in a shrill voice, "She used me to frame you and deliberately attracted so many people to watch, all to put you to death. How can you tolerate this?"
Before Yu Zhiyi could say anything, her two ghostly claws suddenly grew longer: "You can tolerate it, but I can't! If you want to live a cowardly life, don't drag me down with you!"
When she was alive, she was of low status and could only be controlled by others. She had no power to resist even when her life was threatened.
Having died and become a ghost, she now has the power to take revenge, and she's determined not to let that bitch get away with it!
The two ghostly claws suddenly extended and attacked Yu Zhiyi directly.
"Jin'er!" Jiang Liuyi's expression changed drastically.
Du Ziheng, on the other hand, was very calm, even somewhat smug.
Jiang Ershao was clearly unaware of Yi'er's abilities.
She's just a mere female ghost; she's no match for Yi'er.
Sure enough, before those two ghostly claws could even reach Yu Zhiyi, she slapped them away.
She looked at Nuan'er calmly: "Have you calmed down?"
Nuan'er: "..."
"I've calmed down... I'm calm now."
The second young lady's attack just now left her with absolutely no desire to resist.
All the people saw was that she was slapped away by that soft, boneless hand, but in fact, that hand didn't even touch her.
Just as she was about to touch the second young lady's hand, a terrifying power suddenly erupted from it.
When Nuan'er was alive, she was very good at changing her tune depending on the situation. After becoming a ghost, she originally wanted to make a name for herself.
As a result, it was swatted away halfway through before it could even stand up straight.
Her mind instantly cleared.
It also picked up the cautiousness she had in life.
"But……"
She lowered her head, looking timid: "But she hurt people so badly, can't they take revenge?"
Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "Who said you can't take revenge? For ghosts and gods, a mere few decades is but a blink of an eye. If you're willing to give up the chance to be reincarnated, you can wait until she's dead and then beat her up."
"However, if you do that, you might never see the messenger from the underworld to guide you."
Nuan'er: "..."
Chen Xinyue: "?"
