Liu Boyang listened to his son's sobbing cries, feeling a pang of sympathy. "Master, please don't scare him."
Qin Ruan looked up at Liu Boyang, her exquisite and enchanting face exuding a cold aura.
She snorted lightly and pointed her finger at Liu Ze, mocking him, "Do you know what your son did with those classmates?"
Liu Boyang looked puzzled, sensing the solemnity in Qin Ruan's expression, and instinctively knew that his son had most likely made a mistake.
He pulled Liu Ze closer once again and furrowed his brows, asking, "Ze, what did you do with your classmates that day?"
Liu Ze's eyes wandered aimlessly, stuttering, "We...we just talked about some things."
Qin Ruan's voice turned chilly, "Just talked about things you shouldn't have?"
"Also...we did some things."
Liu Boyang could easily see his son's guilty demeanor.
He kicked him in the backside, causing him to fall to the ground.
Liu Boyang took off his belt and menacingly threatened his son, "You little brat, tell me honestly, what did you all do?!"
Liu Ze sat on the ground, terrified by the sight of his father using the belt. His eyes widened in fear.
Throughout his life, his father had never laid a rough hand on him, except for the occasional spanking due to mischievousness, which was nothing serious.
This time, it was clearly genuine anger.
Liu Ze didn't remember the ghost and Qin Ruan scaring him earlier; he was already subdued by Liu Boyang's fury.
Nervously swallowing, he slowly spoke, "We went to the amusement park and felt bored after going around, so we entered the haunted house. It was filled with mannequins, and we weren't scared at all."
"But it was expensive, and we were quite annoyed. Su Dazhi stopped us and told us about the haunted house's legend. Rumor has it that during the construction of the amusement park, a construction worker died. Every night, you can hear the haunted house's cries, and there's a forbidden area inside the haunted house, meant to appease the souls of the deceased."
"Meng Jie said he knew where it was and led us there. We saw a closed-off room, hidden in a secluded corner of the haunted house. When we entered the room, we saw several sculptures made of stone, with twisted appearances."
"Su Dazhi was particularly disdainful and didn't believe in such things. He even urinated on one of the stone sculptures. Wang Xiaoli, being a girl, left the room."
"Afterward, Meng Jie and Chen Kaiming also urinated on the stone sculptures. They saw that I didn't participate and kept teasing me. I felt uncomfortable deep down, couldn't resist their constant ridicule, and then...and then I..."
Liu Ze's eyes filled with tears as he trembled, cowering, looking desperately at his furious father.
"Dad, I really know I was wrong, I'll never do it again. I don't want to die, waaah..."
Liu Ze crawled to his father's feet, hugging his legs, his face covered in snot and tears.
After all, he was his own flesh and blood. Liu Boyang couldn't hold back anymore and pulled him up from the ground, looking at Qin Ruan with a pleading expression.
Qin Ruan glanced at the male ghost not far away, struggling against the binding force, filled with resentment and malevolence, and repeatedly slamming into the display
cabinet in the living room upon hearing Liu Ze mentioning the previous incident.
"Clang!"
"Bam bam bam!!!"
The objects in the display cabinet fell to the ground due to his impact, and the cabinet kept shaking.
This scene alarmed everyone. Liu Boyang, Mrs. Liu, and Liu Ze stared at the display cabinet, but there was nothing inside.
The shaking display cabinet told them that something was there.
They showed fear on their faces, trembling in fear.
Qin Ruan extended her slender and delicate fingers and waved them in the air, calming the display cabinet.
The spirit of the male ghost was instantly transferred to a corner without furniture.
Looking at the other party's unwilling and angry expression, Qin Ruan sighed deeply.
She locked her gaze on the disheveled Liu Ze and said, "Are you arrogant or overestimating your abilities when disrespecting gods and insulting earthbound spirits? How many lives do you have to play with like this?"
Liu Ze looked at Qin Ruan with a different expression, no longer the same astonishment as before.
He thought Qin Ruan came to settle accounts with him and pleaded, "I know I was wrong, I won't dare anymore, please spare me!"
Liu Boyang also knew that his son had done something wrong. He was both angry at his recklessness and worried about his health.
Being entangled by the ghost for several days would certainly have caused damage to his body.
Liu Boyang asked Qin Ruan in a low and submissive voice, "Master Qin, if Xiao Ze has been entangled by the ghost, will there be any sequelae?"
Qin Ruan indifferently replied, "Half of his yang energy has been drained, his lifespan has been affected. He should do more good deeds in the future."
"Drained yang energy? Affected lifespan?!" Mrs. Liu exclaimed.
She quickly rushed over, grabbed Qin Ruan's sleeve, and pleaded, "Little Master, please save my Xiao Ze. He's still so young and doesn't understand things. Please see if there's any way to save him?!"
Qin Ruan pointed to the male ghost lying on the ground, bound by dark threads, not far away. "You should ask him."
Everyone's gaze followed the direction Qin Ruan pointed.
There was nothing there.
Liu Boyang chuckled awkwardly, "Master Qin, please don't joke. We can't see that thing."
"Then let you see it!"
As soon as Qin Ruan finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it in front of Liu Boyang and his wife.
"Ahhh!!! There's a ghost!!!"
"Boyang! There's a ghost!!!"
Mrs. Liu opened her heavenly eyes and saw the male ghost tied with golden threads, causing her scalp to tingle.
She screamed while hiding behind her husband.
Behind Liu Boyang, in addition to his son acting as a human shield, there was now also a wife jumping and screaming.
As for himself, he stared straight at the male ghost in the corner.
The ghost's face was like shattered porcelain, pieced together in a strange and eerie way.
The ghost's facial features were grotesque and distorted, his eyeballs almost bulging out of his eye sockets. The overwhelming anger emanating from him frightened Liu Boyang, causing his legs to tremble.
As a man and the head of the family, he barely held onto his dignity and didn't scream out loud.
Qin Ruan admired him for being a man and spoke in a much softer tone, "Mr. Liu, if you want your son's lifespan back, beg him. Perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope."
Liu Boyang mechanically turned his head, his eyes fixed on Qin Ruan without blinking, "Really?"
"You can give it a try"
Without hesitation, Liu Boyang bent down, knees on the ground, and kowtowed to the male ghost not far away.
"My child didn't know any better and collided with you. His mistake was due to his parents' improper discipline. If you want to drain yang energy, drain it from me. Xiao Ze is still a child, he has a bright future ahead of him."
"You have great power, please spare him. I beg you..."
While Liu Boyang pleaded, he kowtowed to the male ghost.
Interestingly, after Liu Boyang kneeled down, the struggling male ghost, bound by the force of darkness, suddenly stopped.
He pieced together his fragmented face, which was tinged with a bluish-black color, gradually returning to normal.
It was an honest and straightforward face, exuding a simple and honest aura.
Qin Ruan supported her waist, feeling exhausted.
She had become more delicate lately and wasn't sure if she could still move around and search for the Qi of death to prolong her life.
Seeing her clutching her waist, Hou Chuan approached and asked, "Madam, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just tired of standing."
Hou Chuan surveyed the Liu family's living room, locking his gaze on a nearby seat. Without hesitation, he walked over, lifted the chair, and brought it to Qin Ruan.
"Thank you."
After expressing her gratitude, Qin Ruan sat on the chair, relieving some of the soreness in her waist.
Deep in her heart, she sighed. She hoped to collect more death Qi while she could still move around.
"I beg you, please spare the child. I can offer you my vitality..."
Liu Boyang continued to kowtow.
Qin Ruan told Lin Hao beside her, "Help him up."
Lin Hao acknowledged and walked to Liu Boyang's side, helping him up.
Qin Ruan rubbed her slightly sore waist and spoke to the male ghost, "Many years of cultivation are not easy. You're on the verge of success now, and you don't want to taint yourself with bloodshed and ruin your path to reincarnation, right?"
Her tone had lost some of its coldness but hadn't become particularly gentle.
As the name suggests, the earth-bound spirits are the lingering souls of deceased individuals bound to the place where they died.
Such spirits can be good or evil.
In general, most of them are evil puppets.
When sentient beings die, they are supposed to enter the underworld and undergo the normal process of reincarnation.
The lingering souls that remain in the human world instead of reincarnating either have unfulfilled wishes or bear grudges, hence their unwillingness to be reborn.
Earth-bound spirits are trapped in a specific location and cannot leave that area. They lack the freedom of other wandering spirits.
In most cases, even if they are evil ghost, they won't easily harm others.
One could say that such souls are quite pitiable. They are confined to a limited range of activity and, even as ghosts, their existence is rather mundane.
If they get bored, they naturally start to harass humans.
Of course, this description applies to most earth-bound spirits, but the ones Liu Ze and his classmates encountered are different.
They all died unjustly, harboring great grievances. They couldn't enter the underworld and couldn't be reborn as humans.
Qin Ruan had never been to a haunted house at an amusement park, nor had she seen the enclosed room that Liu Ze mentioned.
However, from the moment she saw the male ghost, she knew they were different. They were clean, without any traces of human blood. They had been striving for admission into the underworld for many years.
The male ghost breathing surged, his emotions calmed down, but his gaze remained cold as he stared at Liu Ze.
"These few brats are mere children. Their urine has ruined our decades of effort. We were about to touch the threshold of the underworld, and now it's all destroyed because of them!"
Qin Ruan asked indifferently, "What happened back then? Why didn't the envoy from the underworld guide you?"
The male ghost face returned to its usual color, revealing a hint of coldness. "We died tragically while working at the amusement park's construction site. It was due to safety issues at the site.
We perished due to the site's responsibility, but the investors didn't compensate our families. Why should they be able to earn money and enjoy life while our wives, children, and elderly suffer?"
He paused briefly when he mentioned his family, exuding a heavy aura. "In order to seek revenge against those wealthy people, the few of us who died gathered together and frightened people at the amusement park. Whenever someone came, we would play tricks on them.
In the end, we attracted the attention of the investors, who brought a Taoist master to capture us. However, the Taoist master's ability was limited, and he couldn't capture us. We only wanted our families to receive compensation, and he promised to fulfill our wishes.
We reached a cooperative agreement: if the investors provided compensation to our families, we would stop causing trouble. But little did we know, the Taoist master deceived us and trapped us in the haunted house for decades!
For decades, we've been wandering in the haunted house, relying on absorbing small amounts of human energy to maintain our souls.
In just a few more years, we would have broken free from this prison and entered the underworld for rebirth, but those little brats ruined everything!!"
