Chapter 39

Finally, after a furious bout of playing, her eyes began to turn blood red, and her entire being became terrifying! A powerful force surged through her body, as if it were about to burst out.

I knew this wasn't Wang Shuo's power; it was the power of the female ghost.

Although she had merged with Wang Shuo, her power still existed!

She slowly lifted her head and looked at me. Just by meeting her gaze, I could feel her anger. "We are a yin-yang entity, so what? Do you want to drive me away? Do you want me to leave his body? Do you want to die like that bald monk yesterday?"

After speaking, she stood up, and her aura rose with her! I saw a dense layer of black qi above her head, which was sha! Sha is something that can kill.

A small amount of sha can make a person sick, but such a large amount of sha could certainly take a life.

I broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but swallow hard.

I tried to remain calm, but I was still secretly afraid! I thought of the lightning-struck peach wood seal that my grandfather had left me, and I reached out to touch it. This touch instantly dispelled much of my fear.

I raised my head and looked straight at her. "You won't kill me! I didn't come to drive you away; I came to help you."

After I said this, she was stunned, but only for a few seconds. Then she suddenly laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

After a burst of laughter, her expression turned serious.

"Help? What help do I need from you? Do you think you can help me? You yin-yang masters, with your supposed abilities, ignore us wandering spirits. As soon as you discover our existence, you slaughter us, making us vanish into thin air, just to build your own reputations. I tell you, I don't need help. I've been waiting for this moment for hundreds of years, and now, I can't leave his body!"

I quickly explained, "That's not what I meant?"

Without giving me a chance to speak, she continued, agitated, "Do you know how long it took me to enter his body? Eleven years, I spent eleven years carefully hiding by his side, afraid of being caught by yin-yang masters, afraid of being discovered by ghosts more powerful than me. It was only after much effort that I shared a body with him. Now, do you think it's funny to ask me to leave?"

She had been a ghost for too long, witnessing endless evil in the world. During this time, she must have experienced many things, and she harbored endless hostility towards people, especially those in the mystic arts like me.

I continued, "Listen to me, I don't intend to make you leave. I'm not the kind of yin-yang master who kills innocents. I know you need help!"

"No!" Song Liuyan shouted angrily, "I don't need it, I don't need it!"

"If you don't need it, then why did you plant yin qi in He Zhongtian? The purpose of doing so was to convey that you need help, right? If you wanted to kill him or devour his soul, with your abilities, it wouldn't be difficult, would it?" I hit the key point, speaking directly.

In fact, after reading about yin qi entering the body in books, I had asked my grandfather. He told me that this was a way for ghosts to seek help. They don't kill people but give them a limited time to help them. If the person helps them solve their problem, they are saved. If not, they face the risk of their soul being devoured. Although this is cruel, it is indeed the true effect of yin qi entering the body.

This is also why, despite not wanting to work for the Wang family, I still came. In fact, I wasn't helping Wang Shuo but the ghost, Song Liuyan, who was seeking help.

Hearing my words, Song Liuyan was stunned, and her expression began to change.

I knew it was working, so I pressed on, "The soul of that bald monk last night was devoured by you, right? If you really wanted to devour human souls, He Zhongtian's soul would have been devoured long ago, not left until now."

Finally, Song Liuyan's anger slowly subsided. She was no longer as furious as before, and she began to look at me with a different gaze.

After a few seconds, she murmured, "It seems you are really different from them! No wonder I didn't sense any killing intent from you when I first saw you. From your appearance, you seem to be from the Xuanmen, right?"

Xuanmen!

I didn't know what Xuanmen was; I only knew that what I learned was called Xuanxue.

"No," I shook my head. "I come from the countryside, and all my abilities were taught to me by my grandfather! I don't know what Xuanmen is."

Although my grandfather said that my soul was summoned by him, from the moment I became Li Yao, I was his grandson.

A look of disappointment flashed across Song Liuyan's face. She smiled, but her expression was somewhat dim. "I thought only those from the Xuanmen could have such abilities at such a young age, but I didn't expect a regular yin-yang master like you to have such abilities and courage."

"You are a good person, I won't kill you! If you're not from the Xuanmen, then you should leave! This matter can only be handled by someone from the Xuanmen. I saw that He Zhongtian had some connection with the Xuanmen, so I didn't kill him. I let him send a message to find someone. I gave him a week, and he brought you here. It seems he only has a slight connection."

As she spoke, Song Liuyan's expression became even more disappointed.

If there was a connection, then it meant that Zuhu's master must have come from the Xuanmen. Huang Baiwan also said that his grandfather had saved Zuhu's master.

Regardless of what the Xuanmen was or whether I was part of it, since I had come and met the yin-yang entity Song Liuyan, I had to solve this problem.

Thinking about this, I looked at Song Liuyan again. "You can't wait for someone from the Xuanmen to help you. If things continue like this, Wang Shuo will die, and you will be destroyed. After so many years of waiting, this outcome is definitely not what you want to see."

Being a yin-yang entity isn't just about existing in someone's body; it requires time to avoid karma and adapt to a new destiny. Only by truly adapting to the karma and destiny of this body can one be considered truly merged and have the chance to be reborn.

Clearly, Song Liuyan had not yet merged. If she had, Wang Shuo wouldn't be in this state, and neither would she. I didn't know what to do, and I needed Song Liuyan to tell me.

"Can you tell me what I need to do?"

Song Liuyan looked at me seriously and asked, "Do you really want to help me? Even if it means risking your life?"
