Luo Ran'er screamed and fell backward. Perhaps facing a life-or-death crisis, she suddenly broke free from the ghostly power binding her and stood up abruptly. She naturally used her exorcism technique, and her hand shone brightly as she shot it towards Ku Xi.
Kushi gave a wry smile.
This exorcism technique was learned by Luo Ran'er from the "Secret Arts of Yin and Yang," which belonged to her. Using her magic to subdue her seemed somewhat ironic.
Ku Xi withdrew her hand, letting Luo Ran'er perform the exorcism spell. The light passed through her body, and she was unharmed.
Luo Ran'er's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Why doesn't it work for you?"
Ku Xi smiled and looked at himself. "Because I have the merit of saving hundreds of ghosts, their vows have blessed me, so I am not afraid of ordinary people's exorcism techniques. Besides, your exorcism techniques are still shallow and have no power."
Luo Ran'er's face turned pale. Was this implying that she was of average talent and hadn't mastered the art?
Kushi stretched out his hand again, muttering incantations.
Luo Ran'er raised her eyes in astonishment. Ku Xi was also chanting an exorcism incantation, but the rumbling sound was like the arrival of the mighty heavens, carrying a peaceful and righteous aura to subdue demons and monsters. It was a righteous and just exorcism technique that could rival the sun and moon in brilliance.
Ku Xi said, "Let me show you what real exorcism is." A bright, blinding light attacked Luo Ran'er.
Luo Ran'er watched helplessly, unable to move an inch, until the light struck her and pierced through her body, making her soul feel as if it were floating away. She still couldn't understand why exorcism could be used on people; wasn't it supposed to be used on ghosts?
As if answering Luo Ran'er's question, Ku Xi said, "A ghost with a physical form is a human. In my eyes, there is no distinction between humans and ghosts. Moreover, the highest level of exorcism is actually to deliver the soul, not to exterminate and kill."
In the blinding white light, Luo Ran'er was unable to move. She felt a cool sensation in her eyes, followed by a burning pain that made her scream. "It hurts!"
The exorcism magic around her faded away. Luo Ran'er covered her face, bewildered and at a loss. When she opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness, endless darkness.
She has gone blind.
"Kuxi, give me back my eyes!"
"I'm sorry!" Kushi's voice was full of apology. "I'm going to take my eyes and reincarnate. Just pretend I never helped you. Goodbye!"
"No, Kushi, don't go. Please, help me. I know I was wrong. I will definitely study exorcism techniques hard from now on. I will never kill ghosts indiscriminately again. Please forgive me."
When she went blind and could see nothing, Luo Ran'er panicked. The feeling of confusion, helplessness, and having nowhere to turn filled her heart. Only then did she realize how lucky she had been to receive a pair of donated corneas so soon after she went blind, before she even had a chance to experience the pain of blindness.
No one around her answered her.
"Ku Xi, Ku Xi! Don't go, please help me. I don't want to go blind, I don't want to be unable to see anything. You're so kind, please help me." Luo Ran'er no longer cared about the pain; she only hoped that the rest of her life wouldn't be spent in darkness.
Silence remained.
Luo Ran'er was in despair. She thought of Linghu Lan and suddenly became ruthless.
