"Then I'll have to trouble you." I was secretly pleased; with someone to lead the way, You and I wouldn't have to search for them one by one.
"You're too kind, Immortal Venerable. I have no way to repay you for saving my wife. This is just a small matter."
We left the hospital and soon arrived at our destination, an old but not dilapidated temple.
Standing in the courtyard of the temple, you can see the towering hospital buildings. It turns out that the temple is only a wall away from the hospital. No wonder you can meet the local earth god in the hospital.
The temple enshrines statues of the Earth God and Earth Goddess. The Earth God's statue looks very much like the middle-aged man in front of me, while the Earth Goddess's statue next to him has a dignified and beautiful appearance.
"Immortal Venerable, please." The man led us into a bright, old-fashioned room, where the furnishings perfectly blended modern and ancient styles.
As soon as I entered the house, I could faintly hear roars.
“Ever since I took my wife under my control, she has been screaming.” The man’s tone revealed a hint of heartache. “Immortal Venerable, here.”
As soon as we stepped into the bedroom, the faint roars suddenly became the loudest sound, making my ears ring.
A woman on the bed had a ferocious expression. Veins bulged on her fair, jade-like face, and her hair was disheveled. She struggled incessantly on the bed.
When the woman saw us come in, her eyes showed not only ferocity but also wariness, and she bared her teeth and yelled at us.
The man stepped forward with some concern, saying, "My wife, don't be afraid. I've found a celestial being to help us."
"It really is resentment." I observed the woman's expression and the faint black shadow within her body.
"Hmm." You nodded slightly. "This resentment has grown considerably compared to that of humans. Clearly, the mortal body is no longer enough for him."
I sighed and took out a magical artifact specifically designed to deal with resentment. When the woman saw the black fire poker in my hand, the fear in her eyes deepened considerably. She had been in an aggressive stance just moments before, but now she retreated step by step to the innermost part of the bed, hiding from us.
You stepped forward, easily breaking the land's spell, and then used the same trick to draw out the power of resentment.
I stood guard cautiously to the side, ready to deal with the resentment as soon as it appeared, using the fire poker in my hand.
As soon as the black resentment flowed from the woman's body, I quickly grabbed a fire poker to touch it. The resentment turned into a cloud of white mist and dissipated into the air after being touched.
The woman's tense body suddenly went limp, and she fell onto the bed, fainting. Go quickly.
I connected with the woman's pulse. Fortunately, although her body was weak, she was not seriously injured. Immortals have a stronger constitution than mortals. If she were a mortal, she would probably have been beyond saving long ago.
"My lady." The man stepped forward, pushing You and me aside, and embraced the woman.
Men don't easily shed tears, but the little earth god in front of me was indeed shedding tears, saying, "My wife, you have suffered."
You and I felt a little awkward as he pushed us apart. "Your wife is fine now and will wake up soon."
Upon hearing this, the man gently put down the woman in his arms, turned around and knelt down in front of me and You, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, Immortal Venerable."
I waved my hand, "You're welcome, get up quickly."
I figured the woman would be sober soon. The young couple had finally reunited, so we shouldn't be third wheels.
With that in mind, I pulled You out of the room.
The courtyard of this temple is quite unique. The peach trees on the right side of the courtyard are in full bloom. A gust of wind blows and the peach petals fall gracefully into the soil.
Beneath the peach tree was a patch of lush green grass. "You, let's go sit there for a while," I said, pointing to the area under the peach tree.
"good."
We had just sat down under the tree when the Earth God and Earth Goddess arrived.
"This humble fairy, Yu Du, the Earth Goddess, greets the Nine Heavens Emperor." When the Earth Goddess saw me, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly reacted and knelt down to pay her respects.
"Get up quickly."
The man beside the Earth Goddess looked surprised when he heard his wife say this, and he quickly bowed to me, saying, "This humble immortal was blind and did not recognize your greatness. Please punish me, Nine Heavens Emperor." After saying this, the man thought for a moment and added, "This humble immortal, Yu Du Earth Goddess Sha Lin, greets the Nine Heavens Emperor."
"Get up."
After the two of them stood up, I looked at the Earth Goddess with some curiosity and asked, "How did you recognize me?"
After all, the local deity Shalin didn't recognize me just now.
"I once caught a glimpse of the Heavenly Emperor's face from afar in the Heavenly Court," the woman replied respectfully. "I am deeply grateful for the Heavenly Emperor's great kindness." As she spoke, Suomi was about to kneel down again.
"Get up quickly, it's nothing." I quickly stopped Suomi. "I am no longer the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Court is now under the control of Luoshen."
Suomi gently shook her head. "In my heart, you are the eternal Emperor of the Nine Heavens."
When Suomi said that, I was at a loss for words.
You took over the conversation for me, speaking simply and directly, "Shalin, I wonder when you can take us to see other people who have the same illness."
"Now is fine."
"Then let's go now." I wanted to remove the resentment from the mortal realm as soon as possible.
"Alright, this humble fairy will now lead the way for the Heavenly Emperor."
I wanted to correct Sha Lin's way of addressing her, but after thinking about it, I gave up.
With Shalin's help, we met more than a dozen people possessed by vengeful spirits in one day.
"Heavenly Emperor, the next one is the last one."
"Okay." A smile appeared on my fair face as I finally cleared away all the resentment here.
"By the way, Yu, after we finish looking at this person, should we go back to the Abyss for another look?"
"Back to the Abyss?" You tilted his head to look at me, a hint of doubt showing on his handsome face.
"Hmm, the Abyss has also released a resentful force. I want to go back and check on it; I'm afraid it might escape." I was somewhat worried about the resentful force in the Abyss. It would be troublesome if it ran out and wreaked havoc on the Abyss while You and I were away.
"Okay." You's deep voice was exceptionally sexy.
Finally, You and I dealt with the last lingering resentment.
"Shalin, there's something I need your help with."
"Please speak, Heavenly Emperor."
“We have to leave for a while, and during this time I would like to ask you to help contact the local deities in the mortal world to find out all the people in the human world who are possessed by resentment.”
“Okay, Xiaoxian will take care of it right away.” Sha Lin agreed readily and decisively, without any hesitation.
Thank you.
"This fairy takes her leave." With that, Sha Lin disappeared from our sight.
"You, let's go."
"Um."
We rushed back from the human world to the abyss, and when we returned, the abyss was as peaceful and serene as when we left.
I felt relieved; it seemed the abyss was safe.
We went to the previous secret room first. The resentful force was still trapped inside and had not escaped.
"You, shall I use the fire poker?" I asked You, who was standing next to me.
"Alright." You waved his hand and removed the barrier, and the resentment was destroyed before it could escape.
