Chapter 5

Important matters must be emphasized twice

However, in fact, it does not exist

In transactions, the most important aspect is fairness. When I say I will help her, I will certainly help her, without any dilution or deception, ensuring that no one is cheated, young or old. If I say I will hit you, I will definitely hit you until you are crying and calling for your father

"Indeed." I nodded, "Then let’s defer it for now. When I return your body to you, you can then grant me a favor."

"Otherwise? Will you stay to witness the happy lives of the living?" I turned to look at her, seeing her lying weakly on the bed, her expression conveying the message, "In the future, I will definitely be bullied by the low-level demon cultivators to the point where even dogs won't pay attention to me." I fell silent for a moment, but ultimately gave her a piece of advice: "I advise you to hold on tightly to Mo... No, hold on tightly to Li Chenlan's thigh, thinking of how to get closer to him. It is much more convenient, quick, and safe for him to take revenge for you than for you to struggle alone in the Ten Thousand Slaughter Gate. Don't stubbornly think about avenging yourself; who killed him? He is not the only one who dies. Resources should be used wisely. The identity of this disciple of Li Chenlan that I am giving you can be considered a fateful gift for you bumping your head at my grave. I am leaving."

He nodded

Well ... ...

I feel a deep sense of melancholy

This is the attitude I am familiar with, the position I am accustomed to

As I was about to quickly pass through the wall of the room to leave, Zhi Yan, who was lying down, exerted herself to sit up and called out to me, "Are you leaving?"

Not long after, it fell a considerable distance

Zhiyan was rendered speechless by my words. After hesitating for a while, she finally said: "What I hate is his father, it has nothing to do with him..." She paused, "Let’s not talk about that. What you mentioned earlier about making a leap to success, does that mean sending me to become Mo Qing's disciple?"

Everyone has left, and I boldly spoke to Zhi Yan: "You are quite skilled at being insincere, aren't you?" My clothes were already filthy, so I decided not to dwell on it any longer. I leaned half against a rock; the crisis had passed. I was covered in wounds, and the pain had become numb. A sense of laziness washed over me, and I lazily glanced at Zhi Yan, saying, "You shouted and yelled not to go with Liu Cangling, claiming you wanted revenge, but when it comes to actually killing Liu Cangling, you are the first to back out. Isn't he the son of your enemy? Why the concern?"

After a moment of alleviating the pain, she became aware again: "My body... has returned."

The four bearers carried steadily, and I dozed off slightly. As I was leaving this forbidden place, it was precisely when the thunderstorm had abruptly ceased, the moon emerged, and the clouds cleared, at the deepest hour of the night. I never expected that in my lifetime, even after becoming a ghost, I would still have the opportunity to stir up trouble again.

I looked at the sky, and it was approximately 3 quarters past the hour of Chen. I need to return to the grave, so I must set off quickly to avoid being delayed until noon when the yang energy is too strong, making it difficult to travel.

It is a pity that you spoke too late; I cannot come down now either

Hmph. I coldly snorted: "You indeed found it back."

The servant with the flat nose was supposed to assist me along with another attendant, but I evaded his hand: "I am seriously injured, you should call a few more people to carry me in a sedan chair." I said, "I am now a disciple of the sect leader, and if you do not serve me well, be careful that I will report you to the sect leader later."

Why

Mo Qing left, and only then did the servant, who was kneeling on the ground, tremble and rise up.

She did not respond, but the sound of footsteps from afar approached. I glanced into the distance and exclaimed, "Ah, the sedan chair is coming." I looked at Zhi Yan and smiled, saying, "Aren't you planning to enter the demonic path? Today, I will kindly teach you your first lesson. In the demonic path, what I am doing is not considered tyranny; this is called strategy. Remember, when making an entrance, you must suppress others, so that the days ahead will be easier to navigate.

She actually woke up

I ... ... '' As she moved her arm, she immediately let out a low cry, `` Hiss ... ... it hurts so much. ''

I am very satisfied: `` The sun is still shining now, the yang energy is too strong. Last time I couldn't enter your body during the day, let's try again at midnight tonight. So what about this free time now... '' I squinted and smiled, `` Just tell me how that group of little fairies on Xiyue Peak bullied you. ''

"Lu Zhaoyao!" She exploded in anger, "You! You are shameless!"

I raised an eyebrow, hmm, this is indeed a girl with spirit... it's just a pity...

I am very confused, staring intently at that half-alive body, deep in thought.

She was taken aback, a bit confused: "Did you not send them away just now in order to return my body?"

I curled my lip and said, "Then just drag him to any dungeon and lock him up."

This is the second lesson of kindness. I comfortably lay in the sedan chair, allowing her to chase and scold me from behind, while thinking to myself, to cultivate magic, one must not trust anyone; those young ladies from reputable sects are still a bit too naive.

Zhi Yan sighed beside her: "Exerting power and authority... truly has its own set of skills"

"You are quite impressive," she complimented me, then walked up to me and said, "So can you return my body to me now"

Without any warning

What benefits?" Zhi Yan gazed at me with tearful eyes, "I have already given you my body, what more benefits can I offer you?"

Ah, I suppose so. Although at first I wanted her to directly seize Mo Qing's position, it now seems that using this body to kill Mo Qing is indeed a long and arduous task

I am shocked. Her soul! It actually floated back by itself! Did she push me out?

"Just look at the door for a lifetime, don't climb up anymore," I advised him, "Climbing up will lead to a quick death"

I squinted my eyes and smiled, revealing my little tiger teeth: "That depends on what benefits you can offer me."

"I do not have the surname Lu!" she retorted, then turned her head, staring at me as if she had seen a ghost... Yes, it was that kind of expression of utter astonishment, staring at me, "You!" She gasped twice in succession, but the act of gasping was enough to leave her in pain, unable to speak, only her index finger tremblingly pointing at me, her face pale.

Upon reflection, he found it reasonable and immediately instructed those behind him to carry Liu Cangling away. Zhi Yan wanted to intervene but found herself at a loss, ultimately having no choice but to watch Liu Cangling being dragged away.

There is always a way out for the desperate

Hmm? My gaze shifted, "Return it to you? Why?"

The two of them exchanged glances, remaining silent

I have become a ghost again

Last night, when I was carried back, although I still had some awareness, I was already in a semi-comatose state. This body was too severely injured, and I had no extra strength to control it. I could only allow the bearers to carry me to Xiyue Peak, where the people of Xiyue Peak helped me wash up and treated me before settling me down to sleep

I am very angry, how have these people learned to be cheap yet act innocent? Mo Qing is one of them, flaunting in front of my grave, and now here comes another one, having won against me, yet asking me why she won

You! Did you not say you would return my body to me!

I see him: "You are the doorkeeper, aren't you?"

The small flat-nosed person looked at me in confusion, then glanced over at Liu Cangling with the same bewildered expression: "Should we kill or not..."

Another person scoffed disdainfully: "The sect leader spares your life, and you dare to claim to be the sect leader's disciple, how brazen of you"

Upon hearing this, I lazily fell back onto the grave, crossed my legs, and looked her up and down: "Oh, you want me to help you."

I haven't heard this word in a long time, and I feel quite nostalgic. I calmly waved my hand to suppress her anger and said, "Let's make a deal." I looked at her soul and continued, "I will eventually return your body to you, after all, I don't particularly want to come back to life. I have only one wish, and once that wish is fulfilled, I will return your body to you. In the meantime, consider it as you lending me your body. I may not be able to return you a body, but I can use your body to help you take revenge. What do you think of that?"

I was completely bewildered beside Zhiyan's sleeping body

The body is gone, and I cannot seek revenge for Mo Qing. The beautiful plans have once again fallen through, but these are secondary. Now, the most troubling issue for me and - the map - is that I have to float for three days over a distance of twenty miles. I ask, from Xiyue Peak to the edge of my grave, how many days in total will I need to float?

At this moment, Zhi Yan spoke up: "No, I must take revenge myself." She said, "This is my own family grievance."

"Lu Zhiyan." I called her name

I raised my hand and said, "Go, call for the sedan chair for me."

Zhi Yan's expression was solemn

They obediently left

I believe my new life is about to begin soon

Several magic practitioners advanced quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived before me. They carefully helped me onto the sedan chair, as I was gravely injured

Can you help me

The one in charge has left, and the little flat-nosed one is quite foolish. I glanced at Zhi Yan and saw her gazing at me with hopeful eyes, so I said: "The sect leader has accepted me as a disciple, today is a day of mercy; that stiff corpse is lucky, he can just be thrown out of Chenji Mountain."

"How could it be ... ... I clearly couldn't chase it very far yesterday, why?" She looked at me with a face full of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge

Without any warning

Zhiyan's body let out a soft moan as she gradually awakened

I scoffed disdainfully and said: "Blind gatekeepers, what did your master say before? Those who trespass into forbidden areas shall be killed. But did he kill me? Others have been killed, so why not me? Use your brains and think, am I really that thick-skinned?"

"I... I do not have the surname Lu." She replied to my question with a sob, then sat down in front of my grave, "I... I will still give you my body; you help me take revenge, okay? Cultivating in the demonic path is just too difficult..."

Nonsense, with such severe injuries, only a resilient and weathered demon like me can endure the pain without showing any signs.

Zhiyan was clearly already ruined by those demonic practitioners of Xiyue Peak, and she nodded in agreement to my actions of exploiting the situation without any objections.

I ignored her and simply drifted to the window, glancing outside.

How would I know

I no longer paid her any attention and drifted away aimlessly

I yawned: "I did say I would return your body, but I never specified when I would return it."

As the wind rose beneath the feet of the magical practitioner, carrying the palanquin, I moved forward. I saw Zhi Yan, after a moment of confusion, hastily chasing after the palanquin. However, her speed, as a 'new ghost', was painfully slow.

I got into the sedan chair, and the four demon cultivators carried it with great skill, moving steadily forward. I looked at Zhi Yan, shrugged my shoulders and spread my hands.

I traversed mountains and rivers, spending nearly ten days, drifting back to the grave. I resumed sitting in front of the unmarked tombstone, continuing to lament the tragic existence of my ghostly life after death

I smiled at her and said, "Little girl, how did you come to have this illusion? What I did was not to send them away; I simply wanted them to carry the sedan chair to pick me up."

After regaining my senses slightly, I attempted to penetrate Zhiyan's body once more, but I merely passed through her form. The lower half of my transparent soul became trapped within the bed, and I was unable to attach myself to her body.

Because the next morning, as soon as I woke up, I discovered ... ...

She remained silent

Let me speak frankly with you, the leader of the Jianxin Sect may be a trivial matter for me, but with your own abilities, who knows when you will be able to seek revenge. I smirked, saying, "When I was alive, there were more people wanting to seek my help than the grass on Chenji Mountain, and I usually didn't bother with them. This opportunity for you can be considered a rare encounter that cannot be sought after."

Half a month later, on an evening illuminated by the slanting rays of the setting sun, I felt a celestial aura wafting to my grave. At that moment, I was hiding from the sun behind the tombstone. Upon seeing the visitor, I raised an eyebrow and said, "Lu Zhiyan, have you come to mourn for me?"

Until I closed my eyes, everything was normal, and nothing unusual occurred... The soul of that little girl from the fairy gate had long been left at the edge of that valley grave. In the span of one night, at her speed, it was absolutely impossible for her to float back up and reclaim this body

But

"Then how could those who trespass into forbidden areas be easily let go?" On this point, he was quite adamant
