Qin Ruan's face showed a faint smile, and her gentle voice resonated in the tense atmosphere. "It was our mistake to disturb the two envoys. We thought this little ghost soul was still lingering in the human world, so we used the soul-summoning technique."
Upon seeing Qin Ruan, the two envoys' expressions changed abruptly, and they quickly bowed and lowered their heads. "We apologize for not noticing Miss Qin's presence. Since it's Miss Qin's task, we will naturally cooperate fully."
In front of Qin Ruan, they completely concealed the fierce and malevolent aura they had faced when confronting Qiao Nanyuan.
Qin Ruan stood before them, her face with a smiling expression, gently nodding. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The two envoys put away the soul-locking chains they held high and stepped aside, making way for Qin Ruan.
Behind them, the little ghost, who had been grinning and screaming with a sharp and piercing voice, came into clear view again.
Qin Ruan furrowed her brow, staring at the little ghost, feeling strangely familiar.
Looking at the figure, it didn't seem like that of a two-year-old. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the little ghost looked seven or eight years old.
The little ghost, who had been stared at by Qin Ruan for a long time, slowly closed its mouth, no longer emitting sharp screeching screams.
He gazed at Qin Ruan with a mixture of fear and astonishment, and the anger and ominous aura surrounding him also eased.
The ghost soul seemed somewhat peculiar, with his skin appearing excessively pale, revealing the flesh beneath the skin, creating a visually striking impact.
"It's you!"
Qin Ruan finally remembered why she found this little ghost familiar.
This child was clearly the little monster that was created when Wudao sacrificed himself to the human-faced snake, fusing with it.
After the cruel fusion, the child devoured three souls and was taken to the underworld by the Yin messenger who arrived at the time.
Wudao was a disciple of Xu Zhenren, and Xu Zhenren was the one who took the young treasure away from Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, following the evil path.
Everything connected, and Qin Ruan had to face the reality.
The little ghost was summoned by Qiao Nanyuan.
Since he had arrived, he must be the original body.
This little ghost was Li Manning's son, Xiao Bao.
Qin Ruan pursed her lips, her expression slightly gloomy, and she turned around to look at Li Manning with a complex gaze.
Li Manning remained indifferent, with a hint of impatience on her face.
Qin Ruan conjectured that she probably didn't consider the little monster as her child, Xiao Bao.
Not only Li Manning but even Qin Ruan felt puzzled.
Li Manning's son, Xiao Bao, was just over two years old, and he had nothing to do with the small ghost summoned, which appeared to be seven or eight years old.
Meeting Qin Ruan's gaze, Li Manning frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
She couldn't understand why Qin Ruan looked at her with such sympathetic and compassionate eyes.
Qin Ruan stepped aside, allowing her to clearly see the true face of the little ghost. She said, "Li Manning, take a good look at this child."
Without hesitation, Li Manning shook her head and said, "I don't know him."
Qin Ruan's voice grew heavy as she said, "Look again carefully. Don't let appearances deceive your eyes."
Li Manning had a bad feeling in her heart.
Ignoring the lurking presence of the emissary from the Underworld, Li Manning floated to Qin Ruan's side and observed the small ghost bound by the Immortal Binding Threads from a close distance.
The ghost eyes were dull, showing anger beneath them. When he opened his mouth, sharp and tiny teeth were revealed.
He was of the same height as an ordinary child, but there was a putrid smell emanating from him.
His thin skin revealed hints of flesh underneath, and the visible veins looked peculiar, as if his skin had only recently grown.
Despite the appearance of an angry expression, the ghost's eyes were vacant, displaying a somewhat foolish demeanor.
No matter how hard Li Manning looked, she couldn't find any trace of Xiao Bao in him.
However, the ghost's subsequent actions drove Li Manning into complete madness.
Perhaps due to the bond of maternal love, Xiao Bao suddenly became quiet.
His teary eyes glanced at Li Manning, and he made a face as if he was about to burst into tears.
"Xiao Bao!"
Li Manning's eyes were filled with rage. Her ethereal form trembled violently as she instantly moved in front of the little ghost.
She ignored the ghost sharp teeth and the putrid smell permeating his body, crouching down and embracing him.
An unexpected change occurred!
As the ghost was embraced, his vacant eyes stared at Li Manning's neck, and he viciously bit down.
"Ugh!" Li Manning cried out in pain.
Qin Ruan approached and placed her hand on the back of the ghost neck, trying to pull him away.
"No, don't hurt him!"
Li Manning looked up, pleadingly gazing at Qin Ruan, her eyes filled with desperation.
She didn't understand why Xiao Bao had turned into this appearance, with an entirely different outer shell and even an increase in height.
But she wouldn't be mistaken; this was undoubtedly her Xiao Bao.
His aggrieved appearance, the pouting gesture hinting for a hug, and the familiarity in his eyes, all carried his hatred and resentment towards her.
Ever since Xiao Bao was born, she had spent very little time by his side.
However, the bond between mother and son, the connection of blood relatives, was an indelible mark on their souls.
This was her little treasure, her son.
Her eyes were blinded by illusions, unable to recognize her own son.
Li Manning felt a mix of guilt, heartache for Xiao Bao, and above all, anger.
Qin Ruan slowly removed her hand from behind Xiao Bao's neck.
Taking advantage of the situation, Li Manning opened Xiao Bao's clothes, revealing the red birthmark on his shoulder blade. Tears streamed down her eyes.
"Xiao Bao, Mommy's little treasure!"
She couldn't contain her tears, tightly embracing the ghost that had bitten her neck, her voice filled with immense sorrow.
"Wuwuwu..."
The ghost released its grip on Li Manning's neck, emitting a whimpering sound of grievance.
Li Manning held him close, gently patting his back. "I'm sorry, Mommy is sorry. It's all Mommy's fault. Mommy shouldn't have failed to recognize you, Xiao Bao, my child..."
Xiao Bao's emotions calmed down as he allowed himself to be embraced by Li Manning.
He lay on Li Manning's shoulder, looking extremely obedient, just like an ordinary child.
Li Manning lifted her bloodshot eyes, filled with a sinister and terrifying bloodlust.
She stared intensely at Qin Ruan and asked in a chilling tone, "Why did Xiao Bao become like this?"
Qin Ruan parted her lips lightly. "He was transformed by dark arts into an unnatural abomination, sacrificed in flesh to the demonic forces, and then merged with the human-faced snake, turning into a weapon of murder."
Li Manning held onto Xiao Bao's body, her hands clenched into fists, her face showing an uncontrollable expression of bloodthirsty rage.
Her wolf-like bloodshot eyes were filled with a murderous aura, as if she was about to erupt at any moment. "Who did this? Who is responsible?!"
"A disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, the entire sect is involved with demonic creatures. After Xiao Bao was transformed, he became a demon... I killed him with my own hands and had the Yin messenger take him away. His soul was incomplete and consumed during the transformation, one soul and three spirits devoured."
Qin Ruan succinctly informed Li Manning about what had happened at the Rong family, not withholding any details.
This included the fact that she had personally killed Xiao Bao, without any concealment.
At that time, Xiao Bao was no longer human, devoid of any autonomous consciousness, just an emotionless weapon of murder.
Li Manning stared directly at Qin Ruan with her eyes locked, her voice hoarse. "What are the consequences if we don't kill?"
