Chapter 666: Isn’t it Ridiculous?

Chapter 666: Chapter 666: Isn’t it Ridiculous?

Realizing she might have misunderstood, the female ghost still dared not believe it.

"But, why?"

Why not kill them?

Jiangli seemed indifferent, flicking the fresh blood from his hand. The wound stopped bleeding at a visibly rapid rate, though this time it did not heal as quickly as it had on Yan Mountain.

Jiangli looked impatiently at his palm, then said coldly, "I did not kill you because I see you have no intention of harming others. You do not carry the burden of karma on you. Therefore, I am willing to spare you. But I cannot condone your continued presence here. The paths of the living and the dead are distinct; you do not belong in the mortal realm forever."

The female ghost looked at Jiangli incredulously.

"You... You are the first from Xuanmen who is willing to let me go..."

She had been a female ghost for over a thousand years, had seen many masters, and any who could detect her existence wanted her dead.

But she had never harmed anyone; she just wanted to escape, to preserve herself and her child.

So, when Jiangli said she had never killed anyone and had no karma, it was true.

Yet, she found it hard to believe that this was the reason Jiangli was willing to let her go.

Upon hearing this, Jiangli’s face remained expressionless as he said, "I simply can’t be bothered to kill living beings."

Changing the subject, she added, "You’ve been dead for over a thousand years, right? Why have you lingered in the mortal realm for so long, and what’s the deal with your child?"

The female ghost was stunned, not really understanding what Jiangli was getting at.

But she could tell that Jiangli indeed had no intention of killing them.

She looked at the disheveled meatball she was protecting in her arms, still wanting to secure a chance at life for her own child.

With this thought, she bowed her head and answered Jiangli’s questions.

She had indeed been an old ghost for a thousand years and had almost forgotten her original name after such a long time.

It was only when Jiangli asked that she recalled her distant memories.

Her real name was Wei Xue, and perhaps she was even related to the Wei Family.

In the era she lived, which was ancient times, her family was quite renowned locally, and she had been a proper lady since childhood.

Just like in the stories, she met a poor scholar during one of her outings to offer incense.

It was love at first sight.

"Love at first sight... isn’t it laughable?" Wei Xue gave a bitter laugh, "But I truly fancied him, I wanted to be with him, but my family wouldn’t allow it..."

At that time, the Wei Family was exceedingly prestigious, and the women in the family were even less free; since childhood, they were regarded as assets for marriage alliances.

But as the saying goes, extremes meet.

The more it was like this, the more Wei Xue wanted to be with her beloved.

Disregarding all rules, she became intimately involved with him and even had a child.

Once her family found out, everyone in the family, including her parents, forced her to commit suicide, to preserve the family’s honor.

She was unwilling, but her parents brought white silk for hanging.

"Everyone in my family wanted me dead, including my own parents..." Wei Xue, holding her child, looked at Jiangli and laughed softly, "Isn’t that ridiculous?"

Jiangli’s lips tightened a bit.

Wei Xue, however, seemed indifferent, "For my child, I refused to die. Since they wanted to strangle me to death, I gave up..."

If her own family wished for her death, then she would die.

But even in death, she intended to disgust them.

Wei Xue pretended to compromise with her parents, agreeing to suicide as atonement.

Perhaps still possessing some familial affection, her parents left her the white silk and let her take her own life.

After her parents left, she took out the bridal gown she had prepared long ago for her wedding day and put it on.

The red bridal gown, the Tiger Head Shoes she had secretly prepared for her child, and a curse written in blood.

Having prepared all these, she chose to commit suicide.

In this way, she thought, she would be enough to disgust her family for a long time.

When she regained consciousness, she had already turned into a vengeful spirit.
