Chapter 316: Sympathy Overflows
The small figure that appeared in front of everyone was completely different from their understanding of evil spirits.
The evil spirit they imagined would at least be ferocious, fierce, and filled with resentment, as if it wanted to kill everyone. However, the so-called evil spirit before them was just a little girl, only about six or seven years old, wearing a red princess dress and holding a doll. She stood there timidly, looking at them anxiously.
The little ghost seemed to be very afraid of the aura of Zhong Nian Yao. He stood there far away, and when he looked at Zhong Nian Yao, his eyes were full of vigilance.
Even though the other party was just a little devil, Zhong Nianyao did not change at all. She said directly in a stern voice, "Answer my question."
As if frightened, the little ghost couldn't help but tremble, tears began to well up in his eyes, and he looked pitiful.
Seeing this situation, everyone else couldn't help but feel sympathy.
However, Zhao's father and mother were older and had experienced more, so even though they felt sorry for the other party, they did not do anything. Especially when they knew that the little ghost had previously bound their son's soul, it was even more impossible for them to do anything.
Although Zhao Xuanlang was carefree, he trusted Zhong Nianyao very much. Even when he saw that the little ghost was pitiful, he didn't say anything.
Only Liu Zihang had never encountered such a thing before, so when he saw the pitiful little girl, he couldn't help but say, "There's no need to be so harsh. She's just a child."
"Big brother!" The little girl looked grateful and cast an admiring look at Liu Zihang.
"Idiot." Zhong Nianyao glanced at Liu Zihang indifferently, then her eyes fell on the little girl. "There's no need for you to put on such an act here. Being able to become a fierce ghost, you are definitely not as harmless as you appear. You detained Zhao Xuanlang's three souls, probably to strengthen your ghost power! But, before you could devour them, we destroyed you."
"Sister, I don't understand what you're saying." The little girl shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She cried like a tearful baby. "I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted that brother to play with me for a while. I didn't mean to hurt anyone."
"Zhong Nianyao, there's no need to be so aggressive!" Liu Zihang couldn't help himself. He stepped forward and tried to persuade her, "Even if this little girl is a ghost, she's not necessarily a bad ghost. She's just a little girl. She doesn't know anything yet."
Zhong Nian Yao didn't say anything and attacked the little girl directly.
The little girl seemed to be frightened and immediately burst into tears. The sound of her crying moved everyone present.
However, out of trust in Zhong Nian Yao, Zhao's father, Zhao's mother, and Zhao Xuanlang did not take any action and just watched from the side.
But Liu Zihang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he stood in front of the little girl and stopped Zhong Nianyao, "Stop it."
Seeing Liu Zihang's actions, Zhong Nianyao had no choice but to stop what she was doing. When she looked at Liu Zihang, her eyes were filled with indifference, "Get out of the way."
"I won't let you." Liu Zihang said stiffly, "I won't let you hurt her."
He didn't know why, but even though he knew the little girl was a ghost, he couldn't just ignore her pitiful appearance. Moreover, such a young child being killed was already pitiful. Now that Zhong Nianyao was treating her like this, it was even more tragic.
"Zihang, get out of the way!" Zhao Xuanlang suddenly shouted.
Liu Zihang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Xuanlang's anxious look, his face full of panic and fear, as if he had seen something horrible.
Then he saw that Zhao's father and mother were in the same condition. Zhao's mother had even closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at all.
As if sensing something, Liu Zihang subconsciously turned his head and saw that the little girl, who originally had a childish and pitiful face, had now become hideous and terrifying. She was rushing towards him with a sinister smile on her face, as if she wanted to swallow him up.
Suddenly, he was terrified. His mind told him to run away quickly, but his body seemed to be controlled by something and he couldn't move at all.
Just when he thought he was going to die here, he suddenly heard a loud shout, "Get down."
Subconsciously, he squatted down immediately, and because he squatted so hard, he almost sat down on the ground.
Zhong Nian Yao threw a piece of talisman paper over, and the talisman paper stuck directly to the body of the evil ghost and then began to burn.
"ah--"
The shrill screams echoed in the valley, making people feel creepy.
The evil ghost took several steps back, screaming miserably. There was a flame burning on her body, and she looked very scary.
"Help me, help me, I really know I'm wrong."
The evil spirit once again transformed into the appearance of a little girl, stretched out her hands, and called for help in the direction of Liu Zihang. Her pitiful appearance made people want to rescue her immediately.
Unfortunately, Liu Zihang had already seen how this evil ghost turned his back on people, so he had no sympathy at this moment and crawled to the side.
He moved so quickly, fearing that if he was a step slower, something life-threatening would happen again.
I don’t know how long it took, but the flame finally went out.
After being burned by the talisman fire, the evil ghost's soul became a little lighter. She still looked like a little girl, but her face had lost its innocent look. The hideousness and ferocity on her face were clearly visible.
When he looked at Zhong Nian Yao, his eyes were full of ferocity and vigilance, as if he was waiting for an opportunity, and would attack again as soon as he got the chance.
"Do you still want to go up and help?" Zhao Xuanlang came to Liu Zihang's side and taunted him, "Your compassion is really overflowing. You actually want to help the evil spirit."
Being insulted like this, Liu Zihang blushed instantly and didn't even dare to look at Zhao Xuanlang. "I didn't mean to do that. I really didn't know it would turn out like this."
Thinking about it now, he still felt a lingering fear. He was just a hair's breadth away from becoming that evil spirit's meal. His damn compassion had really been misused, and it nearly got him into serious trouble.
