Chapter 637: I gnorant Thing, Actively Seeking Death

Hundreds of fierce ghosts had been dealt with by Qin Ruan. How could she care about just one small ghost?

After absorbing an ample amount of malevolent energy, the dense power of the Underworld surged within her, providing her with inexhaustible strength.

The red thread on the inside of her arm felt warm as she absorbed the malevolent energy.

Qin Ruan knew that her lifespan had been extended.

With so many lost souls, she had exchanged for less than two years of her life.

Qin Ruan stared resentfully at Wei Linchen and asked, "How many words?"

Wei Linchen looked around at the large group of ghosts lying on the ground, feeling greatly shocked in his heart.

Since he joined Qingcheng Daoist Temple until now, he had never seen so many ghosts.

Hearing Qin Ruan's sudden question, he looked puzzled and asked, "Huh?"

Qin Ruan clenched the golden whip in her hand, raised her chin, tugged at the corner of her lips, and gritted her teeth as she asked, "The essay, how many words?"

"Eight thousand, I guess," Wei Linchen replied in a relaxed tone.

A burst of anger surged in Qin Ruan's heart.

Listening to his tone, he seemed so casual.

It was as if asking her to write an eight-thousand-word essay was a tremendous favor to her.

Qin Ruan's hand trembled slightly, and the whip in her hand almost swung out.

In an instant, her eyes darkened, and a cold light appeared at the bottom of her eyes.

There was a disturbance in the air behind her, and in the eerie silence, it was particularly distinct.

Sensing the imminent danger, Qin Ruan swung the golden whip behind her.

The whip flew out of her hand.

The little girl who was about to sneak attack was instantly restrained by the golden whip.

"Ah ah ah!!!"

Injured by the dark power of the whip, the ghost let out a piercing scream.

Qin Ruan's eyes dimmed slightly, and her face turned gloomy.

This ignorant thing dared to seek death when she was in a bad mood.

She turned around, her cold eyes staring at the little girl who was just a meter away from her.

Under the restraint of the golden whip, the ghost's malevolent energy weakened significantly.

It would be such a waste for such dense malevolent energy to be consumed by the dark power.

Qin Ruan raised her finger, and a faint golden light penetrated the puppet's body.

The dark power greedily absorbed the malevolent energy from the ghost's body.

As the ghost's malevolent power diminished, her face turned pale in horror.

She questioned Qin Ruan, "What did you do to me?"

Qin Ruan ignored her. In just a few seconds, she had absorbed all of the ghost's malevolent energy.

She reached out into the void, and the golden whip that had wrapped around the puppet returned to her hand.

Qin Ruan stepped forward with a calm stride, approaching the little girl.

Standing in front of her, Qin Ruan used the handle of the whip to lift her chin.

The little ghost, who had lost her malevolent energy and become weak like an ant, still had the same eyes full of hatred and resentment.

Qin Ruan scrutinized her with a critical gaze, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips, a mocking expression on her face.

"Little ghost, tell me where the withered wood on your body came from."

When Nangong Yunlong died, a piece of withered wood was left behind in the room.

It still retained the aura of Ling Feng and Lan An.

The same withered wood appeared on the puppets of Otty School, making her wonder if there was another story behind it.

"Hmph!" The little girl's features twisted. "I won't tell you!"

She feared the oppressive aura emanating from Qin Ruan, but she still had the courage to provoke her.

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in the depths of her eyes.

She fell silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed lightly. "It doesn't matter, even if you don't tell me, I'll find out anyway."

Qin Ruan made the golden whip in her hand disappear into thin air, then pointed her finger at the little ghost's forehead.

The technique of soul searching would allow her to know everything.

"Ah ah ah!!!"

The pain of soul searching was a thousand times more agonizing than extracting malevolent energy.

Amid the sharp and ear-piercing cries of the little ghost, Qin Ruan absorbed all of her memories.

As unfamiliar memories flooded her mind, her expression gradually turned solemn and heavy.

Bound scenes, agonizing screams, scenes too unbearable to look at, and shocking scenes that shattered one's worldview made Qin Ruan's heart sink.

She looked at the little girl with a touch of pity in her eyes and sighed, "So you were an old puppet who had survived for decades. It's surprising that you were able to live until now."

The little girl's blood-red eyes seemed like they were about to cry. Panic and shame filled her pale face.

The sympathy in Qin Ruan's eyes stabbed her like needles.

She roared furiously, "What did you do to me? What do you know?!"

Qin Ruan lowered her eyes, concealing the compassion in them, and her tone returned to its previous coldness. "I can send you to the Underworld so you can reincarnate as soon as possible. All the suffering you have endured in this life will be far away from you."

"What do you know? Don't act so self-righteous here!"

The little girl charged towards Qin Ruan like a madwoman.

She knew that Qin Ruan had seen everything.

She had seen everything that she had experienced.

All the unbearable experiences, the suffocating torture, were all known by this woman.

No, it wasn't just her!

Every lost soul hanging on the Huangju tree had gone through those unbearable tortures.

The little girl reached out to push Qin Ruan, but was caught by her collar and lifted up.

She kicked and struggled in mid-air, trying to break free from the puppet's grip.

Wei Linchen held her, looking displeased. "Little ghost, didn't you see that she's pregnant? Your push could have caused a life-or-death situation!"

The voice of a stranger made the little ghost's tremble violently.

"Don't, don't come over, go away!!!" she shouted frantically.

In her mind, she recalled the withered wood of the Huangju tree.

The cold, rough branches entangled her ghost body, enduring wind, sun, rain, and frost.

The torment she suffered in exchange for the absorption of malevolent energy was agonizing.

Not only her, but also the lost souls hanging beside her endured the same unbearable torture.

No one could save them, and no one would notice them.

They could only be tormented day after day by the Huangju tree, seeking a way to survive with their desire for life.

Lost souls who were disobedient and not hung up would turn into piles of white bones, accumulating under the tree.

Over time, the bones piled up into a small mountain.

Their souls flew away forever.

The obedient lost souls would be endlessly tormented by the cold, lifeless branches of the Huangju tree day after day.

The little ghost's intense reaction and her frantic state were not right.

Qin Ruan knew what she had experienced, the reasons behind her condition.

She pinched her forehead, feeling disgusted, "Professor Wei, put her down."

Wei Linchen also noticed that something was wrong with the little ghost.

He held her and looked around, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

The ghost treated him like a fierce beast.

Wei Linchen asked Qin Ruan, "What's wrong with her?"

Qin Ruan was very straightforward and rough, "You're a man, and you frightened her."

Wei Linchen still couldn't understand, but he put the little ghost down.

Qin Ruan told him, "Go find Lin Hao. I'll handle this."

Wei Lincen knew Qin Ruan's strength well enough. If she handled it, the matter of the Huangju tree would probably be resolved.

Before leaving, he politely asked, "Are you sure you can handle it alone?"

"No problem." Qin Ruan waved him off, not even sparing him a glance.

Wei Linchen followed her gaze and saw the little ghost lying on the ground.

Feeling a little awkward, he touched the tip of his nose and walked quickly to Lin Hao.
