Chapter 77



Jin Banwei carried Ren Qiao back to the room, and Ren Qiao seemed to fall apart when he landed on the bed.

She knew very well that this was just an illusion, but Jin Banwei could not endure looking at such an illusion again and again. She was more afraid of Ren Qiao getting hurt than Ren Qiao himself.

Ren Qiao's eyes were somewhat empty. She stared at the ceiling, feeling the pain in her body. Her mind was a little fuzzy because of the pain.

Jin Banwei looked at Ren Qiao's long hair that was soaked with blood. She sniffed and said, "Sister Ghost, please bear with it. I will definitely find a way. I will."

She found almost all the soul-gathering talismans, but it was not good for Ren Qiao to bear so much talisman paper at once. Jin Banwei's mind kept going through the newly mastered seventh-level paper-making technique. She hurriedly pulled out the soul-fixing pendant hanging on Ren Qiao's chest. She bit her fingertips and blood fell on the jade butterfly. The jade butterfly turned blood red. Dark red butterflies floated out from the soul-fixing pendant and flew to Ren Qiao's lips one by one.

When it touches her lips, it turns into blood mist and seeps into her skin.

The color of the Soul-Fixing Yin Pendant dimmed little by little, but Ren Qiao's soul was finally stabilized. She no longer disintegrated in such an exaggerated manner, but she was still not very stable.

Jin Banwei offered up new pieces of spirit paper, and she rubbed a thick stack of spirit paper into a thin piece. She drew a red chain on the spirit paper with her bitten index finger, and then stuck the spirit paper on Ren Qiao's chest. Chains emerged from the spirit paper, tightly binding Ren Qiao's somewhat scattered soul and pulling them together. The red chains were resisting the power of the jade pipa bell restriction.

Jin Banwei looked at the chains on Ren Qiao's body. Those chains almost entangled her limbs. Jin Banwei took a breath and said, "Sister Ghost, do you feel uncomfortable?"

After the pain he felt subsided a little, Ren Qiao slowly regained consciousness.

She could feel the chains wrapped around her body, which were relieving her pain. She shook her head slightly.

She was just tied to the bed, and Jin Banwei was half-kneeling on the bed looking at her, which made Ren Qiao feel a little embarrassed. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she whispered in Jin Banwei's ear: "Xiao Jin, can you lie down with me too? But if you feel scared, you can also..."

Ren Qiao knew that Jin Banwei was timid, so she wanted to give Jin Banwei a way out. However, before she could finish her words, Jin Banwei had already lay down next to her.

Jin Banwei asked her cautiously: "Sister Ghost, are you feeling better?"

Ren Qiao nodded: "Yeah, much better."

It was getting late now. Only the setting sun was shining into the room. The light was a little dim and fell on Jin Banwei's caring face, highlighting the little bloodstain on the corner of her mouth. Ren Qiao's eyes were dazed for a moment: "Xiao Jin, are you in pain?"

"It doesn't hurt." After Jin Banwei felt that Ren Qiao was more stable, tears filled her eyes and a faint blush floated on the tip of her nose: "I will definitely not let Master Min get close to you in the future."

She completely hated Min Ziyu.

But it shouldn't be like this. Min Ziyu hates her, and she hates Min Ziyu. This is a vicious cycle.

Ren Qiao wanted to reach out and wipe the tears from Jin Banwei's eyes, but her body was completely tied up by Jin Banwei. For the time being, she could only move her head. She looked at Jin Banwei sideways and said, "Don't be angry with Master Min. In fact, she just hopes that I can respond to her with emotion. In fact, I can understand her. After searching for more than a hundred years, it should be uncomfortable for her daughter to face her. I know she is uncomfortable, but I am really... somewhat powerless. I don't know what attitude is most appropriate to face her."

Ren Qiao's empathy is too strong. When she thinks about Min Ziyu's sadness, she should also think about her own pain.

It's not that Min Ziyu spent a hundred years searching for his daughter while Ren Qiao enjoyed a hundred years of life. On the contrary, Ren Qiao also had an extremely sad life during these hundred years.

Alone and being hunted.

If she could empathize with Min Ziyu before, but now Jin Banwei, who was angry, could not understand Min Ziyu, Jin Banwei pouted and wiped her tears a little aggrievedly: "I won't, even if Sister Gui is always a wooden block without emotion, I will not be angry with Sister Gui."

In fact, it was not quite right for Ren Qiao to say that she was a wooden person. Although she did not respond to Min Ziyu with the same strong feelings, she was very gentle and had a good attitude. She did not ignore Min Ziyu and even accepted him easily.

Maybe it’s because of her.

Jin Banwei could sense that Min Ziyu disliked her very much...

Jin Banwei was in a trance for a moment, but Ren Qiao looked at her with a little smile in his eyes: "That's not good, I still hope that I have feelings."

"Because I want to love Xiao Jin as much as he loves me."

!

Jin Banwei was startled and quickly turned her gaze to look at Ren Qiao again.

Her eyes were as gentle as ever, but underneath the gentleness there was a bit more affection, and some hot confessions.

The fusion of love and soul brought changes to Ren Qiao. She responded to Jin Banwei with more passionate emotions. This was her dream, but she was not in such a hurry. If possible, she would rather feel Ren Qiao's love later.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be happy or sad. In the end, I could only force a very forced smile. The tears that had just subsided suddenly burst out and became more and more intense.

Jin Banwei's eyes are different from Ren Qiao's. Jin Banwei's eyes are like the starry sky at night, hiding the bright stars all over the sky.

Eyes like this look better when you smile.

Ren Qiao felt distressed: "Xiao Jin, don't cry, I'm not in that much pain."

Jin Banwei remained silent. She stared at the wounds on Ren Qiao's body and secretly decided in her heart that she must feed those people dozens of red Luo Gu and let them die in pain.

She sobbed and her eyes never left Ren Qiao.

Suddenly, the golden light on Ren Qiao's body began to weaken.

Guan Jiyue seemed to have succeeded.

She rubbed her eyes to make sure she was not mistaken, and the anger in her heart eased a little.

It was just that Ren Qiao felt a little embarrassed when she stared at her, and she also had some not-so-obvious inferiority complex. She whispered: "Xiao Jin, do you want to turn off the lights? I know I should be a little scary now."

"It's not scary, it looks good." Jin Banwei shook her head fiercely. She had avoided it before, but now she just wanted to remember every scar clearly and return them one by one when the time comes.

Jin Banwei was afraid that she didn't see it clearly enough, so she wiped her tears with her hands and muttered, "My wife has always been very beautiful!"

Seeing her still calling him wife in this situation, Ren Qiao studied Jin Banwei's face in a daze: "You, I hope you are not afraid of me."

Jin Banwei's eyes gradually became more confused. She reached out her hand and carefully touched Ren Qiao's face: "Sister Gui, I can't wait to love you, how can I be afraid of you."

Jin Banwei's nails were trimmed neatly and roundly, the skin on the back of her hands was very clean and white, and her fingers were well-proportioned and slender. As she became more and more aware of the temperature, she could feel the warmth between her fingertips that could melt a person.

Feeling loved, Jin Banwei spoke more and more bluntly. Ren Qiao paused for a long time before he dared to think of what he was going to say: "I remember when I first met you, you were really afraid of ghosts, and you were scared to tears by Chengying at that time."

Jin Banwei touched Ren Qiao and then carefully withdrew her hand. She looked weak and pale now, as if she could be broken apart by the touch.

Because of Ren Qiao's memories, Jin Banwei once again recalled the scenes of the past. When she thought of Chengying deliberately scaring her, the pool of flesh in her mind was still particularly clear, but she was no longer afraid.

She whispered, "That was me in the past. I am not afraid of ghosts now. Even if ten thousand shadows stood in front of me and turned into pulp at the same time, I would not be afraid."

But it’s only been over a month, less than two months.

The reason why Jin Banwei could change so quickly was because of her. This was different from her original intention. Her original intention was to protect Jin Banwei and let her live a peaceful life away from ghosts.

The deviation was too big, and she had not yet accepted Jin Banwei's transformation, but Jin Banwei had forced her to completely adapt to the life of a Yin-Yang sorcerer.

Ren Qiao gently looked away. She avoided Jin Banwei's gaze with some guilt. She said softly, "If there were ten thousand Chengyings, I would be very scared."

Is Ren Qiao joking with her?

After she gained two more souls, she looked much more human.

But she suddenly avoided her gaze, and Jin Banwei couldn't adapt. She sat up, thought about it, and then lay on the bed with her chin propped up, slightly raised, higher than Ren Qiao's head, so that her eyes could easily cover her. She asked: "Ghost sister, are you still in pain?"

Even if Ren Qiao was in pain, he would coax Jin Banwei and say it didn't hurt. Moreover, the pain in her body was indeed better. She just felt a little tired, exhausted by the long-term pain.

The voice was soft and weak: "It doesn't hurt much anymore."

Jin Banwei reached out her hand, wanting to remove the spiritual paper from Ren Qiao's body, but she pulled her hand back halfway and said, "Let's tie it up for a while longer."

Ren Qiao had no objection, she also felt that her soul was not stable.

But Jin Banwei stared at the chain and suddenly thought of Min Ziyu. She said angrily, "If Master Min saw this, he would probably hate me even more."

She clearly kept saying that she hated Min Ziyu, but at this time she could still remember Min Ziyu's attitude towards her. After all, it was because Min Ziyu was Ren Qiao's mother.

Ren Qiao's emotions were usually very stable, gentle and calm. Just a glance could heal most of the pain. She looked at Jin Banwei and said very seriously, "But I won't hate Xiao Jin."

Ren Qiao was feeding her candy. He knew clearly that she was coaxing her, but he still felt sweet in his heart, but with a little bitterness.

The pain came from the injuries on Ren Qiao's body. Jin Banwei sighed, "I know, it's enough for Sister Gui not to hate me. I don't need Master Min to like me. After all, I don't like her either. I have clearly told her very clearly, but she won't listen to anything."

She was still angry about what Min Ziyu had done.

Light golden meridians suddenly appeared on Ren Qiao's face, each one very thin, and the wounds on her body were healing. After the restriction was lifted, the soul-gathering talismans and soul-fusion pills that Jin Banwei had piled on her body also took effect, and her soul was quickly fusioning.

Strange memories came to mind, this time with a little more warmth.

She saw an old woman with half white hair, her eyes were gentle and she smelled nice.

Suddenly, a voice of "Xiao Yuli" rang in her ears, and Ren Qiao's eyes became moist again. She finally felt some warmth in the past. That might be all the warmth she had ever received. The source of the warmth was her grandmother.

Seeing her crying, Jin Banwei quickly took a tissue to wipe her tears: "Sister Ghost, have you been affected by the Sorrowful Spirit again?"

Ren Qiao held back tears, and a smile unconsciously overflowed from his lips: "Xiao Jin, I saw grandma."

Jin Banwei's fingertips paused slightly, and she was suddenly glad that apart from the physical pain caused by Ren Qiao absorbing the love spirit, it seemed to be a happy memory for her mentally. She no longer recalled the ugliness of those people, but thought of the old man who raised her.

The soul of love is indeed a sentimental factor. After merging with the soul of sorrow, Ren Qiao only saw some fragmentary horror scenes. But after merging with the soul of love, she saw relatively beautiful scenes in her life.

She was happy for Ren Qiao, so she followed Ren Qiao's lead and asked, "Sister Gui, what kind of person is our grandmother?"

"My grandmother's name is Yin Shu. She is very gentle and always speaks softly. She can cook a lot of delicious food. She likes to sit by the Shenyuan Lake and talk to the sea lettuce floating in the lake. My grandmother often says that all things have spirits, and spiritual things deserve to be respected and loved. My grandmother said that the birth of every life in this world is precious, so if you can become a capable person, you should help those weaker lives more. That kind of world is a beautiful world worth preserving..."

When talking about Yin Shu, Ren Qiao's eyes began to flicker. It was the attachment to family affection. She did not have such feelings when facing Min Ziyu, but after thinking of Yin Shu, the family part of her feelings began to become stronger.

Jin Banwei smiled at Ren Qiao, who was talking more. "That Ghost Sister must have inherited her grandmother's kindness, because Ghost Sister is also very gentle."

But after saying this, she suddenly felt a little sad. It sounded like Yin Shu was a completely different wizard from Zhuo Ning. She was kind and gentle, so she raised Yu Li to be kind and gentle. She established most of Yu Li's kindness, but if she knew that kindness would harm Yu Li, she would probably be very hurt.

Ren Qiao was stunned. She hummed at first, but suddenly shook her head: "I don't know either. I don't remember it very clearly, but..."

She looked at Jin Banwei with tearful eyes, her tone more lonely: "Xiao Jin, I miss grandma a little bit."

There is nothing wrong with that, she is a child raised by her grandmother.

She had lost her memory of the old man for a hundred years, but suddenly she regained some of her memories, and her heart was gradually filled with longing.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see it.

Yin Shu died as a result of her adopted daughter's plot and was buried in the place where she and Yu Li lived together for thirteen years.

Jin Banwei didn't know where the Shenyuan Lake was, and Ren Qiao didn't remember it specifically enough, but there were people outside who knew it.

Jin Banwei softened her heart: "I will ask Master Min where the Lake of Divine Resentment is later. Let's go see grandma."

Ren Qiao: "Xiao Jin, you don't seem to hate Min that much... me, Master Min."

She wanted to call Min Ziyu "Mom", but she still felt a little awkward.

From beginning to end, Jin Banwei still addressed Min Ziyu as Master Min, and did not call him by his name like Guan Jiyue did, even when she was very angry.

There was a soft smile in her eyes, and those eyes seemed to be able to see through all her thoughts.

Jin Banwei was stared at by those eyes and suddenly felt frustrated: "I don't hate Master Min. What right do I have to hate her? She is my elder after all. I'm just a little sad that I didn't protect Sister Gui well, and there's no way for her to like me a little bit. If she could like me a little bit, maybe it wouldn't be like this."

Ren Qiao looked at her and suddenly said, "In fact, there are very few mothers who like to steal their daughters. Although I don't think I was stolen by Xiao Jin, in Master Min's eyes, Xiao Jin should be a thief."

A thief?

Jin Banwei was a little surprised by Ren Qiao's remarks. Ren Qiao was also a little surprised. She thought about it and said with relief: "It seems that this sentence was said by my grandmother."

Some specific images of Yin Shu emerged in her mind. Yin Shu not only liked to talk to the sea lettuce that never faded in the Shenyuan Lake, but also loved to write the word "Ren" over and over again with a small branch by the lake.

Yu Li didn't quite understand, so she would occasionally ask Yin Shu, "Grandma, why do you keep writing the word 'Ren'?"

Yin Shu would touch her head with a smile and tell her gently, "Xiao Yuli, grandma is holding a grudge."

It was clear that she didn't sound angry, but Yin Shu didn't seem to be lying to her. Under that gentle tone, it seemed that she really hated someone. Yu Li was not too sure. She was too young at that time and she didn't understand hatred. Besides, Yin Shu was clearly smiling.

Who would hold a grudge against someone with a smile?

Yin Shu saw her confusion and would often rub her head and tell her in a gentle tone: "Grandma didn't lie to Xiao Yuli. Grandma rarely holds grudges against anyone in her life. This man named Ren is the first one. But who told him to steal my most precious thing without my consent?"

Yu Li still didn't understand, and Yin Shu wouldn't force her to understand. She would often hold Yu Li in her arms and touch the tip of Yu Li's nose with her slightly old hands: "Of course, the most precious thing to grandma now is little Yu Li."

"Xiao Yuli, you have to promise grandma not to be easily deceived. If you meet someone you really like, you have to let grandma observe them first, okay?"

Yu Li blinked in confusion: "Grandma, I don't quite understand what you said."

"You'll understand later."

Although Yin Shu did not say it explicitly, Ren Qiao could guess it now. The precious thing that Yin Shu was talking about being stolen was Min Ziyu, and the person she hated should be Ren Qiao's father.

Just as Yin Shu said, she really understood what Yin Shu said.

But Yin Shu was no longer around, and even if she wanted to, there was no way for Yin Shu to see Jin Banwei.

Ren Qiao looked at Jin Banwei and she suddenly said, "Grandma will probably like little Jin very much, because little Jin is a very good person."

Ren Qiao paused, then added: "I like Xiao Jin very much."

The fusion of love and soul has indeed changed Ren Qiao a lot.

She praised Jin Banwei and gave her a rich and sweet candy. Jin Banwei's eyes moved slightly, and a faint red mark appeared on the tip of her ear.

My ears are red and my heart is hot.

"Me too, I like Sister Gui too." Jin Banwei rubbed her fingertips nervously. She could be frank herself, but she was still very flustered when she really waited for Ren Qiao to be frank.

It seems that I am happy every moment with Jin Banwei, the bitterness will fade away, and the pain will be drowned.

Ren Qiao once again felt that Yin Shu would definitely like Jin Banwei, because Jin Banwei did not steal her away. Instead, she was the one who frequently wanted to steal Jin Banwei away, to the place where they could only depend on each other.

She loved looking at Jin Banwei and would never get tired of looking at her for a long time, but... she was a little sleepy. For the first time, her ghost body felt unprecedented tiredness.

Jin Banwei waited for a long time for Ren Qiao's next words. She pinched her palms and tried to muster up the courage to look at Ren Qiao again, only to find that Ren Qiao had fallen asleep.

It turns out that ghosts also feel tired sometimes.

Thinking about it carefully, because of the strong recovery ability of ghosts, she seemed to have overlooked that Ren Qiao would also get tired. She had a good rest when she was unconscious, but Ren Qiao was either running around or suffering, and had to go through the torture of soul fusion. Even when Jin Banwei was unconscious, she had to take care of Jin Banwei, and was responsible for building relationships with the monsters on Yang Street, which was not Ren Qiao's forte.

Jin Banwei reached out her hand and stroked Ren Qiao's forehead: "Sister Ghost, have a good rest."
