Chapter 23 Wish



It hurts so much that I can hardly breathe.

She didn't seem to be a spectator, but a person deeply trapped in the situation. Jin Banwei couldn't imagine a death more miserable than being pierced by thousands of arrows, but it should be very painful, so painful that every second was torture.

Ren Qiao was trembling in Jin Banwei's arms, and his thin body looked even more pitiful and fragile.

There is a saying that the power of ghosts comes from resentment. Ren Qiao is so powerful that she can subdue the ghost. Doesn't it prove that the resentment in her heart has already reached a peak that ordinary people can hardly imagine, because that is unimaginable and painful to die.

"Ghost sister." She hugged Ren Qiao tightly, as if this could ease the pain in her heart.

Ren Qiao raised his eyes and saw tears in Jin Banwei's eyes.

She never shed a tear, but Jin Banwei cried out her grief for her.

Seeing Jin Banwei's tears, she was not so scared anymore. She was a strong person, but she had never seen her true appearance before death. In addition, the belief that supported her survival all these years was to find her past memories. When she suddenly heard Leng Xiangying persuading her to give up looking for her memories, her belief collapsed for a moment.

The tears that Jin Banwei shed for her were like a ray of sunshine shining into her dark heart. Although it was not hot and warm, it was brighter.

Ren Qiao's emotions gradually calmed down. She even patted Jin Banwei on the back to comfort him: "Xiao Jin, I'm fine."

It is hard to imagine that it was Ren Qiao who endured the extreme pain, but when the truth was revealed, it was Ren Qiao's turn to comfort Jin Banwei, the audience.

She didn't expect that Ren Qiao was not only strong in strength, but also in spirit. She adjusted her emotions so quickly that Jin Banwei's tears seemed pretentious.

Jin Banwei's cheeks flushed slightly, and she let go of Ren Qiao: "Sister Gui, I...actually I'm not that fond of crying, I just...I just..."

I still didn’t say that I felt sorry for you.

Jin Banwei was a little frustrated that she couldn't open her mouth, but Ren Qiao spoke for her: "Xiao Jin, I know you just feel sorry for me."

There was a faint smile in her eyes, full of tenderness.

Suddenly, a little figure waving flags and shouting appeared on Jin Banwei's chest. It was congratulating Jin Banwei for having summoned Ren Qiao, the ghost king.

From Leng Xiangying's few words, it can be heard that most ghost kings, even those who have not practiced cultivation with flesh and blood, have bad tempers and are difficult to get along with. That's why she wanted to instigate Ren Qiao to marry a ghost to help her manage things. Ghost kings with a good temper like Ren Qiao are rare, and she may even be the only one.

She is gentle and considerate, with a simple but delicate mind, and she can understand Jin Banwei's thoughts.

It's hard to find even with a lantern.

Confusion slowly took over her heart. She couldn't understand why Ren Qiao, such a good ghost, must have been a good person when she was alive, died so miserably.

Jin Banwei was destined to fail to figure out the answer. The truth was hidden in Ren Qiao's missing soul. She didn't know if Ren Qiao's missing soul was helping Ren Qiao escape pain. There was no clue in a hundred years.

Jin Banwei stared at Ren Qiao intently, her slightly red eyes looked pitiful, with tears still in the corners of her eyes. Ren Qiao took a tissue for her and considerately put it to the corners of her eyes, the smile in his eyes deepened.

The panicked Ren Qiao was hidden by her, leaving only a good wife who loved her husband.

The victim didn't cry, but she shed tears. Jin Banwei still had to save some face, so she didn't have the nerve to wait for Ren Qiao to wipe her tears. She took the tissue and wiped her tears in Ren Qiao's smiling eyes: "Ghost sister, do you still want to find a soul?"

When Ren Qiao heard Jin Banwei ask her, her smile faded a little and she lowered her eyes.

The pain in my arm from using the power of my true form has not completely dissipated yet. Now I finally understand why it hurts so much when I use the power of the wooden yoke. It turns out that my true form has been revealed. If a ghost reveals its true form on its own instead of being beaten out of it, it can indeed use more powerful abilities, but it will also experience the pain of death accordingly.

It's not complete, so it's still within the acceptable range.

The complete one... She couldn't imagine it yet.

Ren Qiao raised his head again, looked at Jin Banwei with his beautiful eyes and asked, "Xiao Jin, a ghost without a soul cannot be brought back. Besides, the memories that are brought back may not only be painful, but also the past that I care about and miss."

Jin Banwei understood that to Ren Qiao, she was complete only if she had a complete soul.

"Sister Ghost, I will help you find it. Whether it's the memory or the soul, I will help you find it back."

Jin Banwei was not acting on impulse. She had always been in love with Ren Qiao, and now that she knew that she had died in such a tragic way, her blood was already boiling in her heart. If possible, she even wanted to help Ren Qiao find her enemies.

Since it was an unnatural death, it must have been done deliberately by someone, but... Ren Qiao has been wandering for a hundred years. Even if he really has an enemy, he has probably been reincarnated.

Jin Banwei felt a little discouraged again. If Ren Qiao hadn't been right in front of her, she really wanted to ask the system if it knew about Ren Qiao's past.

As soon as Jin Banwei started thinking, the voice of the system rang in her mind.

[The system can detect that Ren Qiao is a very powerful ghost king. Her strength has long surpassed that of ordinary ghost kings. She has basically reached the peak of ghost cultivation without taking human lives. In addition, her soul is very pure, which meets the system's screening standards. There are also many people chasing her, which meets the system's rescue standards.]

A cold mechanical sound suddenly rang out, scaring Jin Banwei.

Logically speaking, the system should only communicate with her when she speaks, so how come it suddenly knows what she wants to ask?

Just as doubts arose in Jin Banwei's mind, she heard the voice of the system.

[The system has been upgraded. The host now only needs to call the system in his mind, and the system will be able to communicate with the host. ]

So she could finally communicate with the system in her mind, and no longer talk to herself like a fool in the eyes of others. It seemed that this system upgrade did have some benefits. Not only did her body merge, but even conversation became more convenient.

Jin Banwei understood most of what the system said, but there was a small part that she didn't understand.

Jin Banwei secretly glanced at Ren Qiao and found that Ren Qiao was staring at her, wondering what he was thinking. Ren Qiao didn't say anything, so Jin Banwei started a conversation with the system.

[System, what does it mean to have a pure soul? Does it meet the screening criteria? ]

[Pure soul means that Ren Qiao never did bad things before and after her death, never hurt good people, and even did many good things. The good karma system only does good things and only makes good karma. Since it is to select a wife for the host, it is natural to find a ghost king with a pure soul and a gentle ghost wife. The host deserves it! ]

The last sentence really sounded like a small advertisement. Jin Banwei increasingly felt that this Shanyuan system might not be as serious as she had imagined.

Ren Qiao is not only a good ghost, but also a good person.

Jin Banwei had expected Ren Qiao's character. It was really hard for her to imagine what evil she could do. But after listening to the system's words, she couldn't help sighing. Isn't it said that good is rewarded with good and evil is punished with evil? But why was Ren Qiao so good? Why did she die miserably? Even after her death, she had to be summoned by the system and her emotions were trapped by a good wife experience card.

She did have some thoughts about Ren Qiao and wanted a response, but she knew very well that this was simply cheating, and the cheating tool was the Good Wife Experience Card.

She really wanted to help Ren Qiao find her memory and accompany her, but would Ren Qiao really be willing to stay with her after ten days?

Jin Banwei cried in her heart, but the system comforted her.

[Host, don't worry so much. To a certain extent, the host is her reward. With the blessing of the good karma system, as long as the host is diligent and willing to work hard and earn more good karma points, within three years, the host will become the most powerful existence in the world. By then, anyone who wants to bully the Ghost King will be daydreaming. You are her most solid backing! ]

After the system was upgraded, not only did it start advertising, it even started brainwashing her.

Three years... The key is that in ten days, Ren Qiao will definitely be gone!

She was worried that Ren Qiao would settle accounts with her in ten days, but now it seems that based on Ren Qiao's personality, he would not settle accounts with her and would just leave quietly.

This was even more unacceptable to Jin Banwei. She was afraid that when she opened her eyes one day, Ren Qiao would have completely disappeared from her life.

She looked at Ren Qiao with confusion, but had no way to express her worries.

Ren Qiao looked at her complicated expression, raised his jade-white fingers slightly, and then slowly dropped them, along with his eyes that were originally staring straight at Jin Banwei. His tone sounded a little lonely: "Xiao Jin, if you don't want to accompany me, I won't force you."

Jin Banwei understood that Ren Qiao must have misunderstood. She was annoyed by the possibility that Ren Qiao might leave, and regretted that the appearance of the Good Wife Card made their meeting not a pleasant one. But in Ren Qiao's eyes, it was regret for the promise he had just made.

"Sister Gui, I'm serious. I'm willing to accompany you to search no matter how long it takes." Jin Banwei paused and added, "As long as I'm still alive."

"What happens after death?"

Ren Qiao asked almost subconsciously, but before Jin Banwei could answer, she changed the subject as if she had never asked.

"Xiao Jin, what if I regain my memory and I'm a bad person?"

Jin Banwei was still thinking seriously about Ren Qiaowen's posthumous affairs, but after hearing her next question, she asked without hesitation, "Why do you think so, Sister Ghost?"

"The Shen police said that I died miserably. The world doesn't follow karma. The Shen police said that before she died, the king of Shen was licentious and tyrannical, and the people were cruel. As her father's most beloved daughter, she not only did not speak out, but also did not admonish her father. So when the country was destroyed, she died of thousands of arrows piercing her heart. It was her karma. She spent thousands of years in the underworld, working on the front line even when she was injured, to atone for her sins."

Jin Banwei's impression of Leng Xiangying was that she was a dramatic actress with a bad temper and a slightly thick skin. She didn't expect that Leng Xiangying was actually a princess of a fallen country and someone who could have the consciousness of redemption. Her past didn't seem to match her present self.

After Ren Qiao finished telling Leng Xiangying's story, he said solemnly, "Since I died miserably, I might have been a bad person when I was alive."

But it does not mean that those who do evil will die tragically, and those who do good will have a good end. True justice can probably only be determined in the underworld after looking at one's life. The system says that Ren Qiao's soul is very pure.

Jin Banwei said firmly: "No, Sister Ghost must be very good!"

Her trusting attitude made Ren Qiao dazed for a moment, then he laughed: "I hope so."

Ren Qiao didn't dwell on it any more. She glanced out the window, where Leng Xiangying's presence seemed to still linger. She said, "Xiao Jin, Officer Shen is a grateful person. Although she may have some small thoughts, she will definitely do her best to repay you for giving her the Dream Fruit today."

"Then I'll ask her to help Ghost Sister find her soul!"

Jin Banwei's determination always brings some strange touches. Ren Qiao's eyes were dull for a moment. He had been lonely for too long, and suddenly receiving such warm and intense care that was no longer concealed, made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After a long while, he said, "Officer Shen has looked for it for me before, but he couldn't find it."

A soul that even the underworld can't find, I wonder if it's hidden by some powerful thing like Cheng Langui.

Jin Banwei made a bold guess in her heart, and Ren Qiao looked at her again: "Don't leave my side these few days. Although it takes at least three days to gather the soul, it is better to be careful."

Jin Banwei nodded quickly, but she felt a headache again when she thought of the nightmare and Cheng Langui. No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't think of a way to silence them. After all, she and Ren Qiao already knew that Cheng Langui was a ghost that the underworld was targeting.

If she asked Ren Qiao to disperse Cheng Langui's soul again, she would inevitably be suspected of being against the ghost.

"Sister Ghost, is it that easy to reunite the scattered souls?"

"Basically it's very difficult. Even if Cheng Langui's soul has just been dispersed, it's probably difficult to gather a complete soul, but it can still be done partially, and it also requires very strong strength to do it. As for the complete soul, it will take about a thousand years to condense a new soul. If you want to quickly condense a complete new soul, probably only the underworld's Yin Messenger can sacrifice his Yin De soul power to do it, but this is equivalent to dividing his own soul, and almost no Yin Messenger will do this."

But that nightmare is powerful enough.

Jin Banwei guessed why the nightmare wanted to gather souls for Cheng Langgui. She wanted to find the original owner through Cheng Langgui, and now that the original owner had been reincarnated, it was natural for her to find her.

Jin Banwei was upset and confused. She couldn't think of a solution but her stomach started to growl.

"Coo, coo, coo."

Seeing Ren Qiao looking over, she pinched her belly in embarrassment and muttered, "Sister Ghost, I, I'm hungry."

As her body completely merged, Jin Banwei finally felt hungry, but it was already very late, and the most ideal and quickest food to eat was probably at a convenience store.

But Ren Qiao had just said that they would be together all the time, so naturally Ren Qiao would have to accompany her. Jin Banwei was too embarrassed to ask, so she ended up waiting for Ren Qiao to ask her, "Do you want to go eat?"

Again, Renqiao is great.

Jin Banwei nodded and took the lead to walk out: "Yes, yes, eat and drink enough so that we can fulfill their wishes tomorrow!"

She was determined to accumulate more good karma. She was indeed too weak now, but Ren Qiao thought that she was eager to show her kindness and smiled dotingly: "Now that their wish has been fulfilled, are you going to find a new ghost, Xiao Jin?"

How did Ren Qiao know! Could it be that she sensed the existence of the system?

Jin Banwei seemed a little flustered, her steps became disordered, and she was about to stumble and fall. Fortunately, Ren Qiao was quick to grab her wrist and pull her back.

"Xiao Jin, slow down."

Jin Banwei counted on her fingers and realized that she had not left a good impression on Ren Qiao that day. She was afraid of ghosts, timid, impulsive, and had no skills. Now, she was also unstable. She was not like this usually. When her aunt was still alive, she often said that she had a good heart and a good temper, was smart, well-behaved and sensible, and was simply a good girl picked out of a million.

Of course, it is also possible that her aunt has a filter for her.

Jin Banwei's frustration did not last long. She rubbed her belly and walked out. She glanced at the black umbrella and suddenly thought of asking Shang Renqiao: "Sister Ghost, do you have any wishes? It's right in front of you."

She was only thinking about fulfilling the ghosts' wishes and hadn't asked Ren Qiao yet.

Jin Banwei did not break free from Ren Qiao's hand, so Ren Qiao's hand fell down from holding her wrist to holding her hand. When she heard Jin Banwei's question, she smiled and said, "Then, Xiao Jin, can you please stop calling me Ghost Sister? I don't think I want to be a ghost that much."

Ren Qiao’s wish was so small that Jin Banwei could easily satisfy it.

In the silent night, the voices of "sister" were particularly clear and loud, echoing in my heart, which was originally empty, but now showed signs of being filled up...
