Chapter 124 - 124: Partial Thought
After Shen Chun glanced at the child under her, she hesitated for a moment before sticking a talisman on her.
Hu Jing’s eyelids started to droop, and her legs started to go soft. Then, she slowly fell asleep in Shen Chun’s arms.
Shen Chun had also experienced the pain of losing her family before.
Even as an adult, it was difficult for her to withstand the heart-wrenching loneliness and helplessness. Occasionally, when she saw her parents in her dreams, she could not help but cry and feel heartache.
Moreover, Hu Jing was still so young and had suffered too much previously. Her mother was very important to her.
Shen Chun could not bear to see Hu Jing witness all this, so she threw her to Lan Shan. “Bring her to a safe place.”
But before Lan Shan could touch Hu Jing, the black ball on the other side roared, “Let go! Let go of her! She’s mine!”
Although she had lost her mind, the child carried the remnant aura of ghost pills.
As long as she ate a little, even if it was just a mouthful of this child’s energy, she could quickly recover her strength.
Her dark “limbs” began to extend in the child’s direction. Then, she wrapped her arms around the child’s legs and Lan Shan at the same time.
Lan Shan could not break free no matter how hard he tried. He felt his strength being sucked away bit by bit, but the black energy in front of him grew larger and larger.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Chun hurriedly raised the Thunder God Whip and went up. However, the ghost’s ability to absorb ghost energy was unexpectedly strong. In just a few seconds, it had expanded by nearly ten times.
The whip made a muffled sound when it landed on her body, but it could not hurt her at all.
The ghost’s laughter and the sound of metal breaking were heart-wrenching. The talisman broke into golden powder, then the exhausted Lan Shan and Hu Jing were also spat out by this ball of black energy.
The black energy gathered into a huge, rugged hand and rushed towards Shen Chun.
When Shen Chun saw her movements, she swung the whip in her direction. The female ghost’s finger was broken and scattered into black smoke.
A cold look flashed across Shen Chun’s eyes. “What else have you got? Show me.”
The female ghost had been a resentful ghost for five years and still had the remnant aura of the ghost pill on her, so she was very powerful. However, when she saw the golden purple aura around this girl and her extraordinary skills, she was shocked.
“Who, who are you? I know you’re not an ordinary Daoist priest.” The female ghost was a little afraid, but she thought that if she could eat this person’s spiritual energy, it would be equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation.
At that time, she would not have to be a ghost anymore. She could easily become a powerful demon.
At the thought of this, she couldn’t help but smack her lips again. “It doesn’t matter who you are. You smell so good.”
She instantly rushed towards Shen Chun while opening her toad-like black mouth to swallow Shen Chun.
However, at the same time, bright golden light overflowed from her mouth.
Shen Chun held the whip in one hand and formed a talisman in the other. As she chanted a mental curse, the talisman instantly shone brightly. Wherever it went, the evil black energy was devoured by the golden light.
The female ghost cried out in pain. The wind and rain around her felt cold and hot.
However, she could not move her mouth, so she could only moan. She watched in despair as her huge body was digested bit by bit. Amidst the golden light, she saw that Shen Chun’s eyes had also turned golden. Her hair fluttered even though there was no wind, and she looked like a goddess.
Although her body was disappearing, the female ghost’s screams became softer and softer until they became sobs.
The moment before her body dissipated, she landed gently in Shen Chun’s palm like a feather and turned into a human form as she sobbed with her face covered.
Ordinary people’s souls were light blue, and some were white. When people passed away, their souls would gradually fade until they became transparent.
Shen Chun knew that it had not been easy for her to last until now. She could no longer be considered a soul, but a stubborn remnant of her obsession.
“Tell me, what else do you want? i’ll try my best to satisfy you..”
