Chapter 26 The Resentment of the Fairy in the Painting
Shen Moyuan's face was deathly pale, surrounded by black mist, and his once clear black and white eyes had turned completely bloodshot.
He raised his hand and clenched it tightly, closing his eyes slightly as if he were sensing something.
Then, he threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, so this is what it feels like to have power!"
He abruptly turned his head to look at everyone, his cold gaze sweeping over them one by one.
Anyone who met his gaze would tremble involuntarily, instinctively huddling together like baby birds caught in the rain, as if only by sticking together could they feel warmth.
Mo Ying, who was standing to the side, did not expect things to develop this way. She hesitated and called out, "Master."
Shen Moyuan's cold gaze fell on Mo Ying, and he reached out to grab her by the neck: "I forgot about you, how dare you betray me!"
"I didn't!" Mo Ying explained.
"Hmph! Sophistry!"
Shen Moyuan ignored her explanation and bit down hard, tearing off her shoulder.
In an instant, Mo Ying's right arm transformed into a wisp of black resentment, which he swallowed into his mouth.
"Ah!" Mo Ying screamed in agony, her soul appearing and disappearing, showing signs of disintegration.
"Shen Moyuan! I've followed you for so long, don't you have any feelings for me at all?" Mo Ying asked, enduring the pain in her soul, hoping to evoke a trace of pity from Shen Moyuan so that he would let her go.
She didn't want her soul to be scattered and have no afterlife.
"Hmph! If it weren't for you, how could A-Yue have wanted to kill me? It's all your fault!"
As Shen Moyuan felt the increasing power within his body, his gaze towards Mo Ying was filled with greed.
"Hahaha! Shen Moyuan! If it weren't for your greed for power and lust, and your narrow-mindedness, how could my young lady have ended up in this situation!"
"If you hadn't seduced me in the first place, how could I have betrayed you, Miss!"
"It's all your fault!"
"It's all your fault!"
Mo Ying's soul was unstable, and a surge of emotions overwhelmed her, leaving her utterly irrational.
She wanted to resist, but she was still under Shen Moyuan's control and had no power to fight back.
She felt her vision blurring, and images of her time with Yun Weiyue flashed before her eyes.
She regretted it, she really regretted it!
A tear of blood slid down her cheek, taking away her last bit of life.
Shao Yanzhe looked at Sun Heqing and could see the reluctance in his eyes.
He leaned close to Sun Heqing and whispered, "Lord Sun, aren't you going to stop Shen Moyuan?"
Sun Heqing sighed and said, "The ghost that was devoured was Shen Moyuan's ghost servant, and had absolute authority to dispose of it. I have no right to interfere, nor do I want to."
She possessed a distinct red aura of malevolence, suggesting she had likely caused the deaths of innocent people; her current fate was entirely her own fault.
Those around him seemed thoughtful after hearing his words.
Shen Moyuan completely devoured Mo Ying, feeling the abundant power within his body, and his entire being swelled up like never before.
"Ha! Now it's your turn!"
Sun Heqing stepped forward, blocking the crowd: "Shen Moyuan, you have now become a ghost and can no longer return to the court. Even if we know your secret, it is of no importance to you now. How about we compromise? You leave here and we will not reveal your information, how about that?"
Shen Moyuan sneered: "No matter what, everyone here will die!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Shao Yanzhe, and he pointed at him, saying menacingly, "Especially you, Shao Yanzhe, you must die!"
Shao Yanzhe scratched his head and said innocently, "Lord Shen, this is wrong of you. We have no grudges or enemies. You became so powerful because of me. How can you repay kindness with enmity?"
Shen Moyuan's heart skipped a beat: "Hmph! Smooth talker!"
After saying that, he rushed towards Shao Yanzhe.
Shao Yanzhe took out a pen from his pocket and quickly waved it in the air. One by one, the words composed of literary energy came together to form an article, and then he stood in front of Shen Moyuan.
"A trivial skill!"
Shen Moyuan simply waved his hand, and the literary aura blocking his way vanished completely.
Just as he was about to continue his attack, his arm was wrapped in dark silk cloth, and then he was pulled backward and flew away.
"Miss Weiyue, Miss Suqing, why don't we leave here first? Shen Moyuan seems to have become very powerful." Shao Yanzhe saw Yun Weiyue and Yun Suqing and quickly leaned closer to whisper the suggestion.
“No rush. He has just transformed into a ghost and is not yet proficient in using his power. Even if he is stronger than us, he can't do anything to us,” Yun Suqing said.
Shao Yanzhe opened his mouth, but finally compromised and said, "Alright then, you two must be careful."
After he finished speaking, he picked up Xuan Yao, who had come with Yun Weiyue, and hid behind a big tree at the very edge.
His strength is currently weak, and he would be a hindrance if he stayed here.
Seeing this, the others followed him and found places to hide.
Liu Mingyuan hid beside Shao Yanzhe and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shao, who is that woman in white?"
Shao Yanzhe glanced at him and saw that he was staring at Yun Weiyue with shining eyes, unable to take his eyes off her. He couldn't help but feel speechless.
"She is Yun Weiyue."
Upon hearing this, Liu Mingyuan shook his head: "What a pity, such a beautiful woman has already passed away. What about the woman in red?"
"She is Yun Suqing."
"And her?"
"He died too."
Liu Mingyuan was extremely dejected: "It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of beauty! It's as if I was born when my beloved is already dead. What a pity!"
Shen Jingzhou, who was standing to the side, glanced at him and said, "Brother Liu, be careful that the two young ladies don't hear you and come looking for you in the middle of the night."
Liu Mingyuan shuddered immediately: "I won't say anymore, please don't blame me!"
Shao Yanzhe shook his head. He hadn't expected Liu Mingyuan to be such a chivalrous person. He ignored him and peeked over there.
Then Shen Moyuan said, "A-Yue, I didn't know you had twin sisters. That's wonderful. Why don't you both marry me?"
"dream!"
Immediately, Yun Weiyue and Yun Suqing flicked their pens, and countless ink-black blades flew towards Shen Moyuan.
Shen Moyuan dared not be careless. This was no ordinary trick by that scholar. If it really hit him, he would be in big trouble.
Shao Yanzhe watched as the three sides fought back and forth, creating quite a lively scene. Even when facing Yun Weiyue, Shen Moyuan and the other two were not at a disadvantage.
His eyes darted around, and he leaned closer to Sun Heqing, saying, "Lord Sun, who do you think will win in the end?"
Sun Heqing's expression was solemn. He stroked his beard and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. The two sides are evenly matched, and it will probably be difficult to determine a winner in a short time. But if it goes on for a long time, and Shen Moyuan becomes familiar with his abilities as a ghost, then the Yun family girl will probably be in danger."
Shao Yanzhe nodded and said, "Then may I ask Lord Sun for help?"
Sun Heqing glanced at him and said, "We are ultimately not of the same kind. If we help the Yun family, we will likely meet a bad end. You must know that those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. I do not know what kind of relationship you have with them, but you should know that the longer ghosts and humans spend together, the more resentment will enter the human's body, ultimately leading to a violent death."
Especially after losing your vital essence, your body's yang energy is damaged. Coupled with your vigorous literary energy, you are particularly prone to attracting ghosts. When you encounter a powerful ghost, you will be unable to fight it, and the consequences are unimaginable.
If you do not wish to become a captive of ghosts, you must remember to cultivate your character and never indulge in debauchery.
Shao Yanzhe: ...
He didn't!
He quickly explained, "Lord Sun, you have misunderstood. My relationship with the two young ladies is not what you imagine. We are more like teacher and student. They usually guide me in writing, but there is no intimate behavior between us."
Sun Heqing looked surprised: "It was my fault. If that's the case, then you did nothing wrong in helping the Yun family woman."
Just then, a figure suddenly flew out from among the three demons who were fighting.
Shao Yanzhe quickly looked over, and when he saw that the person who flew out was Shen Moyuan, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Moyuan crashed heavily onto the edge of the Ghost Domain. He floated up again, his face extremely pale.
He never expected that he would fail to defeat Yun Weiyue.
He couldn't win in life, and he still can't win after death.
He is not convinced!
Shen Moyuan was extremely angry, and his resentment was boiling over.
Shao Yanzhe peeked out and saw Shen Moyuan covering his forearm with one hand. He remembered there was a red scar there. Then, he saw Shen Moyuan release a cloud of black resentment towards Yun Weiyue and the other person.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the black aura was even darker than before.
Once the black resentment clung to Yun Weiyue and Yun Suqing like spider silk, he knew it wasn't his imagination.
Shen Moyuan, who was not far away, did not continue to chase and fight. Instead, he stood on a rockery with his arms crossed, watching the two of them leisurely.
"Ah Yue, I can control you for a while, and I can control you forever. So stop struggling. You can't get rid of these resentments."
"No!"
Yun Weiyue tried to separate the sticky resentment with her own resentment, but found it had little effect.
Seeing this situation, Shao Yanzhe couldn't help but become anxious.
"Xuan Yao, what are those things?"
Xuan Yao stared at the sticky resentment with its golden-black eyes, its tail swishing rapidly. After a long while, it finally shook its head.
"I've never seen anything like this before, but it gives me a bad feeling."
After careful observation, Shao Yanzhe discovered that the sticky resentment was beginning to seep into the bodies of Yun Weiyue and Yun Suqing. Upon seeing this, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.
If this continues, it will be really bad once all this sticky resentment seeps into their bodies.
He thought for a moment, then walked forward, hid behind the screen at the head of the table, took out a brush, and began to write quickly.
Countless small characters radiating white light lined up in rows. Once there were enough, he controlled these characters to fly towards the sticky resentment surrounding Yun Weiyue and Yun Suqing.
The two collided and immediately dissolved into each other.
"it works!"
Shao Yanzhe's eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace, writing elegant characters to gradually dispel the sticky resentment.
