Chapter 219: 131, 132. ’Mysterious Lady’ Goddess, the Third Ghost Tide (Major Chapter - Subscription Request)_5

Kill however you wish.

Hong Wenhua dashed out of the shop, stared at the gigantic four-tailed fox in the snowy night sky for a long time, but soon violently slapped himself twice, and then led his men to kneel on the ground, chanting "Mysterious Lady," and then bowed in worship to her, this time... harbouring no ulterior motives.

After bowing their heads three times, Hong Wenhua led his men to rush into the city and began assisting the "Mysterious Lady" in eliminating the Ghost Servants.

Song Cheng fought for a day and a night until almost all the Ghost Servants who entered Chenyang Prefecture were dead, only then did he allow himself a moment of respite to return to his True Self.

...

Despite the heavy casualties in Chenyang Prefecture,

and the continuous snowfall...

people suddenly found their backbone and ran to the Shrine with the portrait of the Mysterious Lady, starting to worship.

The master of Jinyi Building, the leader of the Iron Spear Association, all went there, each burning incense and kneeling in worship, and the famous figures followed the portrait’s example to craft golden and jade statues, establishing the Mysterious Lady Palace and spreading the deeds of the Mysterious Lady.

As for the pair of children of the gambling den owner, they became the child attendants of the Mysterious Lady Palace.

The Mysterious Lady Palace had no Palace Master.

...

...

Song Cheng, of course, was unaware of the events in Chenyang Prefecture, and felt relieved after his killing spree.

It wasn’t the killing that brought ease but suddenly feeling a sense of security.

After he returned to his body, it was still night. He picked through the back residence of the An Family and chose Su Ningyu’s room.

Then, Song Cheng first drank three large bowls of wine before looking out towards the nearby "territorial boundary."

Even though the territorial boundary was often frequented by white tigers, Song Cheng, emboldened by the alcohol, entered the area, found a place, and collapsed into sleep.

After sleeping for a while, he suddenly felt the breeze carrying a fragrance, and a ferocious white tiger pounced at him.

Song Cheng woke up startled and flipped over to mount the white tiger.

The white tiger wouldn’t endure having someone on its back, raising its paws and kicking, wanting to tear and bite.

After a long and tiring struggle...

Song Cheng had wrestled for quite a while until the white tiger was at its last gasp.

And then Song Cheng too weakened, the alcohol’s effects surging up, he lay atop the unmoving white tiger and fell asleep.

He was deep in sleep when Su Ningyu, who had regained her spirits, came close and whispered in his ear, "You knew something was off about Ting early on, didn’t you?"

Song Cheng was taken aback, and suddenly opened his eyes, but... it wasn’t surprising.

Su Ningyu being in his house, and spending every day with Ting, it was normal for her to notice something off about Ting.

He had allowed it.

After all, Ting’s talents could not be hidden forever, they had to be brought to light eventually.

So, he said, "Yu, what do you think?"

"I haven’t seen it."

"Maybe, ask Sister Su?"

"Why ask my sister?"

"Your sister is well-informed. She said... from your homeland across the sea to here, you had been sleeping the entire way."

"She even told you this?"

"She mentioned it outside when looking at the Ghost Pit."

"Oh..."

Su Ningyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "My sister might not know either, Ting’s situation is too special, she isn’t like an Innate Ghostly Soul, yet she possesses abilities even Ghostly Souls don’t have...

It looks like the abilities of an evil spirit, and moreover, a Human Skin Ghost.

This must be an unprecedented ability."

"Then... Yu, what do you think should be done with this child?"

"Don’t stop her, let her exploit her talent."

"I didn’t expect you to be quite motherly."

The two chatted for a while longer and reached a consensus.

Later, they would ask the elder sister-in-law when they got the chance, but for now, it was "to help Ting maintain her secrets while allowing her to maximize her talents."

...

...

The next day, Song Cheng again sought out Sister An and Madam Tong to discuss this matter.

With the permission of her parents, the nominally three-year-old Ting finally reclaimed her "right to draw."

Song Cheng vaguely saw Ting and Su Ningyu secretly giving each other a high-five behind the scenes, and for a moment, he was puzzled...

Could it be that last night, it was Su Ningyu who was helping Ting?

This made him, as her father, seem distant and unkind?

Thinking this, he took the initiative to find Sister An and asked her to procure more various animal hides.

With the hides, the entire An Residence came alive.

One after another, the little creatures made of skin walked around the residence, with hopping leather rabbits, swaying leather birds, waddling leather ducks, and even slowly, strong leather bears and leather tigers began to appear...

The An Family’s back residence seemed to have become a bizarre fairytale world.

Whenever Song Cheng stepped out of the Cultivation Room, the little animals would greet him.

"Dad."

"Dad."

"Dad."

Even though Song Cheng knew what these were, he still found it weird.

About half a month later, all the "leather beasts" from the An family’s residence vanished... they turned into real rabbits, birds, ducks, bears, tigers...

But only in appearance, they did not possess the characteristics of these animals.

For example, the tiger and the rabbit were no different in strength; both were soft and easily knocked over with one push.

This change was beyond Song Cheng and Yu’s comprehension.

They pondered: even Human Skin Ghosts shouldn’t work like this, right?

Meanwhile, the worship of the Mysterious Lady in Chenyang Prefecture hadn’t spread over because of the Ghost Tide lockdown.

And Hanping Prefecture was faced with another Ghost Tide...

The third Ghost Tide.

This time, it was still the Human Skin Ghost’s Ghost Tide.
