Huang Ya was already using all his strength just by standing in front of Li Yu.
Only in this way could he withstand the deadly threat emanating from Li Yu, which was like a natural enemy.
Huang Ya spoke again in a deep voice, his hoarse voice carrying a peculiar clarity:
"With your strength, dealing with all the ghosts wouldn't be difficult, but that would only be cutting the weeds, not eradicating the root!"
Huang Ya's illusory ghost looked into the thick fog:
"The real challenge lies in the origins of this eerie region, the ever-growing stream of new ghosts, and the summit of the monument that draws countless spirits to climb..."
At this point, Huang Ya suddenly paused.
"Do you know how to solve this?" Li Yu immediately asked.
Huang Ya shook his head. Although he had been here for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why this sparsely populated place would continuously produce a large number of strange ghosts.
It's like... like someone deliberately 'released' ghosts in Cannes.
"To eradicate the root cause..." Li Yu's gaze was profound.
He suddenly remembered that he had felt that breakthrough after helping Luo Fei with the monk Jingshi. Perhaps he could do the same by helping a ghost with consciousness, similar to Luo Fei.
Upon realizing this, Li Yu's tone suddenly changed, taking on a strange weight as she replied to Huang Ya:
"It's okay if we don't know. We can help each other and uncover the root of the problem together."
"Help?" Huang Ya smiled bitterly; he hadn't heard that word in a long time.
In the years since his death, even as a ghost, he has been surrounded by betrayal and persecution; everything has become cold and ironic.
He wanted to refuse outright, but then he remembered his living sister behind him, and he couldn't bring himself to say the words of direct rejection.
Huang Ya subconsciously turned around and saw Huang Shasha hiding behind him with a pale face, but her tired eyes couldn't help but curiously peek at Li Yu, constantly observing his every move.
Huang Ya's gaze fell on his sister's pale, almost transparent cheeks and sunken eye sockets, as well as her thin shoulders that trembled slightly even under his protection.
The last bit of resistance in his heart collapsed.
Huang Ya also understood that the living are ultimately different from ghosts.
Although he had tried his best to reduce close contact with Huang Shasha, his sister was accompanied by a ghost all day long, and the surrounding area was full of cold, gloomy places where ghosts roamed. Huang Shasha's body was visibly weakened.
If Huang Shasha hadn't been an Awakened One with an extraordinary physique, she probably would have fallen ill long ago.
He couldn't let his sister continue like this!
Even if it means making a deal with the devil!
Moreover, the strength that Li Yu just displayed was by no means inferior to the devil he had imagined; Huang Ya was already amazed by his slightest move!
"Li Yu".
Huang Ya suddenly turned around, his soul body straightening, and an unprecedentedly solemn, earthy-yellow light erupted from him, as if he were about to sign a soul oath with Li Yu, and solemnly said:
“We can help each other, but I have one condition.”
"Speak." Li Yu's voice remained calm and even, as if she had expected this.
"Could you take care of Huang Shasha for me for a while? I have something extremely important to do and can't keep taking her with me."
After speaking, Huang Ya subconsciously looked down into the depths of Kangcheng, where something seemed to be attracting him.
Li Yu keenly noticed Huang Ya's gaze; all the clues seemed to be converging.
"No problem," Li Yu said calmly.
Huang Ya seemed much more relaxed after hearing Li Yu's agreement.
Ignoring Huang Shasha's bewildered gaze, Huang Ya brought her over directly, intending to entrust her to Li Yu, whom he had just met.
Li Yu hadn't expected Huang Ya to be so direct, entrusting his sister to her so readily after just meeting her.
Huang Ya, however, understood everything. If Li Yu hadn't intervened, he and his sister would have been in dire straits. They probably would have lived this long without ever getting to where they were today.
Huang Ya has even decided to take that deep-seated secret with him from the world.
But to everyone's surprise, things took a turn for the better.
Li Yu, a powerful figure, actually took the initiative to save them; their destiny was truly blessed!
Huang Ya turned around and said gently but with a hint of seriousness, "Sasha, come here."
Sasha approached quietly, her steps hesitant, her eyes filled with a hint of unfamiliar timidity.
Huang Ya looked at Li Yu again and said seriously to Huang Shasha, "Shasha, call him Brother Li."
"Brother Li... Brother Li..." Huang Shasha whispered, her voice barely audible.
After saying that, she clutched the hem of her clothes tightly and secretly glanced at Li Yu.
Huang Ya earnestly instructed his younger sister, "Sasha, for the next few days, you stay with Brother Li. He will take care of you. I will come back to find you in a few days."
He paused, then promised again, "I will definitely come back to find you."
Huang Shasha's tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Although she was reluctant, she knew she was a burden and a hindrance to her brother, so she could only nod silently and give Huang Ya a reassuring look.
Huang Ya took one last, deep look at his sister:
"Don't worry, everything will be alright."
After saying that, Huang Ya was about to turn and leave, but then seemed to remember something important and floated back, specifically reminding Li Yu:
“Li Yu, although you have the ability to control ghosts, there is a kind of half-human, half-ghost ‘thing’ that is extremely troublesome. Its existence is between ghosts and the real and the unreal, and I can hardly hurt it.”
"However, that thing isn't very intelligent and doesn't usually appear. Just avoid it when you encounter it, or you'll run into a lot of trouble."
