Qin Luo was on the verge of collapse; he had finally managed to accumulate some merit.
But this resentment came wave after wave, causing countless deaths.
When I die of old age, even if all the merits I have accumulated are wiped out...
She guessed she'd have to be deep-fried, and looked at Wu Hua with a hint of despair.
“My dear child, it seems like everyone in this world can blame him, except me. I should even be grateful to him, because he did all of this for me…”
Wu Hua sensed the helplessness in her tone and was about to offer a few words of comfort.
But then I heard her words, which took a different turn.
"Why do you insist on using resentment? Can't he use other forms of energy, like righteousness?"
Wu Hua really didn't know how she came up with this question.
"Can a soul that is the root of all evil be nurtured by righteousness?"
Qin Luo…
"Well, it seems this father truly loves me. He betrayed everything just to let me be human again, and he's toiled for thousands of years..."
"Yes, but now that he knows of your existence, he will certainly stop collecting resentment."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo first breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Then, he frowned.
"Where will he go? Will he be punished if he returns to the underworld?"
Thinking of the punishments in hell, let alone Qin Luo...
Even Wu Hua was somewhat afraid.
"If he returns to the underworld, he will surely have to pay for the lives of those who died unjustly, or even worse..."
Qin Luo's heart clenched upon hearing this.
"What can I do for him?"
Wu Hua thought about it seriously for a long time before answering her.
"Only by doing good can you cleanse his karmic obstacles when your good deeds outweigh his evil deeds."
Qin Luo instantly felt hopeless; her lifespan was at most a hundred years or so.
Ming Yi has committed evil deeds for thousands of years, and even if she did good deeds day and night, she couldn't catch up.
Wu Hua noticed her dejection and rested her little head against her chest.
"Luo Luo, you once said you wouldn't worry about things that haven't happened yet, but why can't you do that now? No matter what the outcome, we'll do our best."
"Little one, thank you!"
"We're family, don't be shy!"
As they chatted, Wu Hua fell asleep in her arms.
He didn't wake up until it was fully light, and he looked at the coffee bottle on the cart shaft.
She gently rubbed her face against Qin Luo's with a touch of tenderness.
"Luo Luo, you've worked so hard!"
Qin Luo then carried him down from the carriage and took out toiletries.
"Let's wash up and then wake them up. We must find a way to take this building today."
Wu Hua obediently brushed her teeth, her mouth full of foam, yet she still managed to talk.
"Alright, otherwise, if we wait a few more days, he'll find out the ghost in this building is gone and he'll definitely raise the price!"
The two had just finished washing up and hadn't had a chance to wake Tumen and the others yet.
Then they saw a carriage bearing the insignia of the Shisun family approaching them.
Wangxing seemed a little surprised to see them, so she hurriedly jumped off the carriage.
He quickly walked up to the two people and carefully examined them.
Only after confirming that they showed no signs of madness did he bow somewhat embarrassedly.
"Greetings, gentlemen. I am Shi Sun Wangxing, the steward of the Shi Sun family. May I ask how you are addressed?"
Qin Luo and Wu Hua returned her greeting.
"Greetings, Aunt Housekeeper. I am Gong Shanluo, and this is my younger sister, Gong Shanhua. She came to see the shop yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Shi Sunwangxing excitedly grabbed her hand.
"You went in and came out safely? Is it alright inside?"
Since he hadn't yet acquired the shop, Qin Luo naturally wouldn't tell her the truth.
"As soon as we went in yesterday, we were driven back to the fifth floor by a cloud of fog, and then..."
She hesitated, as if to speak, while the butler asked anxiously.
What happened next?
Qin Luo sighed helplessly, his face full of regret.
"Later we saw two ghosts, one of which was so ugly that it was outrageous. It attacked as soon as it saw us."
"Then what?"
"Fortunately, my ancestors studied Taoist arts and left behind some magical artifacts. They sent us out a second before we were attacked, and then I passed out. Then I met you."
The housekeeper, who had initially harbored some hope, now had none left after hearing her words.
"It's good that everyone is alright. My master was worried that some of you might go insane, so he sent me to take you to the charity hall. Luckily, it was a wasted trip. What a relief!"
As the group was chatting, everyone in the carriage woke up.
Upon seeing Shi Sunwangxing, the guard immediately jumped out of the carriage and knelt before her.
"Butler, save me! I almost died in this building yesterday! Please save me! I dare not stay in this Moonlit Pavilion any longer..."
The housekeeper was surprised that even she was still alive, and instantly began to look at Qin Luo and Wu Hua with new respect.
"Could it be that they gave you a magic weapon too?"
The guard hurriedly pulled out the few Bodhi leaves from his pocket, but just as he took them out...
Wu Hua had tampered with it; the Bodhi leaves were scattered by the wind as if they had turned to sand.
The guards were so frightened by what they saw that they screamed loudly.
"A ghost, a ghost!"
Qin Luo stepped forward and took her hand to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, that ghost is trapped inside the building and can't get out."
The guards calmed down after hearing this.
"Then, what's the deal with these Bodhi leaves?"
Qin Luo feigned regret, his tone tinged with sorrow.
"Its magical power was exhausted in protecting us as we escaped..."
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately kowtowed three times to her and Wu Hua.
"Thank you both for saving my life. I, Shisun, will remember you forever!"
Qin Luo waited until she finished speaking before helping her up.
"You suffered this hardship because you were trying to get us in, so it was only right that we saved you. There's no need for thanks."
