Free Web NovelChapter 675: Chapter 204: The Wheel of Fate Turns, the Dragon Child Is Born
Ge Zhengyou and the others were slowly gnawed to nothing by the Hungry Ghosts, strange pig-like sounds echoed, with a chilling white vapor exhaled from the grunts...
The vapor engulfed the few remnants of bones left from the chewed remains.
And in midair, the souls of Ge Zhengyou and the others were torn apart, mutated, transforming into something entirely different from their original form, then they fell to the ground, becoming members of the Hungry Ghosts.
If anyone could see, they would find mysterious lines connecting every Ghost Servant, every Evil Ghost in this Ghost Realm, all directing towards one entity, that is Yan Yu.
Click... click... click...
The Hungry Ghosts moved further away, just with a few new ghosts among them.
Lady Yan, clad in a sinister black skirt, slightly tilted her head, staring woodenly at the cage.
The Ghost Realm was evolving, as was she, the master ghost of the Ghost Realm...
And the Copper Mirror that reveals human pasts and the good and evil in their lives is one of her abilities.
The moment Ge Zhengyou entered the Ghost Realm, she already knew it all, she had seen the good and the evil.
The black skirt dragged, long sleeves hung down, the female ghost in cyan robe was like a painting.
She gazed into the distance, seemingly contemplating.
However, her contemplation was already filled with too much "non-humanity," she vaguely sensed it, but couldn’t change it.
A pig was grunting gleefully, turned around, and trotted away with the Hungry Ghost group.
Soon, the pig suddenly charged forward, knocking down a Hungry Ghost, and began devouring it on the spot, feasting... The Hungry Ghost let out inexplicable cries of pain, as if it could still feel the pain but couldn’t resist at all.
But after the pig finished eating this Hungry Ghost, the ghost wouldn’t disappear but would be reborn in the following days, rejoining the Hungry Ghost group, once again... lingering on this eerie black-and-white earth, occasionally looking up, only to see the Lady Black Skirt standing at the very top of this horrifying world.
The newly joined Ge Zhengyou and other Hungry Ghosts naturally became the "new products on the market" in the pig’s eyes, soon ending up entirely in the pig’s mouth.
He was bitten into half, his head and legs swung up and down with the pig’s jaws, and in the "chomping" sounds, he was completely devoured.
"Husband..."
Lady Yan in Black Skirt did not turn around but suddenly spoke, asking: "Did I do something wrong?"
At the edge of the Ghost Realm, a small red bubble appeared.
Inside the bubble, Li Yuan was striding forth.
He responded, "Sister Yan, you did nothing wrong.
Goodness is always the most precious quality.
Good People should never be mocked but should be praised.
Goodness should be rewarded, evil should be punished.
Good People may not be without evil, but goodness is not his reason for wrongdoing.
Thus he was rewarded by you to leave the initial Ghost Street alive, becoming a wanderer, possessing strength beyond common men. But when betrayal, injustice, and lies filled him, he also came to your Ghost Realm, receiving punishment."
After a long time, Lady Yan in Black Skirt turned around, her once terrifying expression slowly calming.
She softly said, "Luckily... I have a husband.
Otherwise, just now, I would have completely fallen into becoming an Evil Ghost.
The person I saved, yet harbored such filthy and foolish thoughts, trying to use my praise for goodness to threaten me.
This made my hatred for humanity explode in an instant to encompass all humans."
Li Yuan laughed, "I understand that.
That is a loathing for life, an instinctual hatred towards living beings."
Lady Yan: ...
A hint of humane embarrassment and panic appeared on her pale face as if a little secret had been exposed.
After a long time, she lightly asked, "How did you know?"
Li Yuan tenderly said, "Yet even so, Sister Yan still deeply loves me and Xiaozhao, adhering to her original beliefs. I like such a Sister Yan..."
He gazed through the heavy, black, wave-like Yin Qi barrier, looking at the woman visible yet untouchable on the other side, earnestly saying, "Always like."
The air quieted for a moment, the surroundings still echoed with screams.
But between the Ghost Realm and the Human World, there was an inexplicable, serene tenderness.
Li Yuan said, "I thought about it, fire might be increasingly distancing from Sister Yan’s power, in the future, it might also create a gap with Xiaozhao, so I might as well disperse the fire after the crisis is gone."
Lady Yan sternly said, "No."
Watching her, Li Yuan only felt that Lady Yan looked like a "virtuous wife who isn’t allowing her husband to give up his career for her"; his heart warmed, he chuckled, placing his hands on the barrier.
Lady Yan also approached, placing her fingers against his, gazing into each other’s eyes.
A long time passed before such a gaze and warmth ceased.
Li Yuan began to recount recent events to Lady Yan.
When Yan Yu heard that "Xue Ning, her hair white, had entered the Divine Tomb," she too showed a bit of sadness and regret on her face.
Among many women, her relationship with Xue Ning was very good, after all, back then, there was no Xiaozhao, and that small household was accompanied only by her and Xue Ning with their husband.
The past vividly reappeared, as if just yesterday.
But in a blink of an eye, old friends had already passed away...
Slowly, those she knew in this world would leave one by one, until... she, as Yan Yu, would be forgotten by this world.
Li Yuan said, "Sister Yan, you have me and Xiaozhao with you."
Lady Yan snapped back to reality and nodded in agreement.
As long as family was there, she would forever be anchored to the human side by these points of humanity.
Immediately, Lady Yan worriedly asked, "Xiaozhao is guarding the Divine Tomb, is she okay?"
"She, ah, is a monster indeed.
A place like the Divine Tomb is like her main battlefield. Even a hundred of me wouldn’t be enough for her to kill there, hahaha." Li Yuan laughed heartily.
