Chapter 404: Chapter 408: Pen Fairy (7)

Su Li sighed softly.

The Evil Path just now was truly condemnable.

Although the innocent infant wasn’t completely refined, it had become an Evil Ghost.

It was unknown what Technique was used, but even though the little ghost hadn’t stained itself with the crime of slaughter, the bloodiness on it, the obstruction of its karma, was not small.

As merely an incomplete little ghost, it already emitted a sky-high resentful energy. Once it was completely refined, such a malevolent Evil Ghost entering the world, I fear it would bring about mass destruction.

Even more so for a barely month-old infant who had not received any guidance or understood human affairs.

In its heart, there was no sense of ethics or morality, only the pain and torment suffered during the refinement, unwillingness twisting its mind. When its hands were heavy with karma, no one would be able to subdue it, and even Heaven would send down eighty-one strikes of Heavenly Thunder to shatter its Divine Soul.

When Su Li had achieved her Ghost Immortal form, she had some vague enlightenment about the rules of this small world.

Naturally, she now knew many things she had previously been unaware of.

It was also the little ghost’s fortune; in the midst of being refined, it felt a comforting presence. Although it had no idea what that was, it simply followed its heart’s desire to send its ghost crying sound out, and then it awaited the redemption of Lord Ghost Immortal.

Su Li’s palm gently stroked the little ghost’s head, a gold light entered its forehead, calming its restless and hateful heart.

The little ghost gradually became quiet, unaware that as Su Li’s palm left its head, its black little face visibly began to whiten and become moist, its body also growing some flesh.

It looked about the size of a one-month-old baby, extremely cute.

Of course, that was under the condition that it didn’t open its mouth to reveal those frighteningly filthy and horrifyingly sharp teeth.

Following the little ghost’s gaze, a gray-white blurry shadow looked around aimlessly, huddled in a corner.

After hearing the little ghost’s shrill scream, it finally noticed the presence of Su Li and the little ghost nearby.

After a glance, clarity instantly returned to its eyes, and with a scream, it turned to flee.

Su Li touched her nose and dissatisfiedly grumbled.

The Evil Path is indeed the Evil Path; even the soul reeks unbearably, emitting a rancid, rotting odor.

Upon receiving Su Li’s permission, the little ghost, like a tiger bursting from its cage, pounced toward the fleeing gray-white shadow.

The upper half of Zhang Dahai’s soul had seeped into the limestone wall of the workshop, and before the lower half could enter the wall, the little ghost’s claws forcefully dragged it out.

The little ghost excitedly raised its hand and scratched a mark on Zhang Dahai’s soul, clutching a clump of grayish material and stuffing it into its mouth.

Chewing a few times, it seemed the taste was quite pleasing, as it lunged again, tearing and rending with its mouth.

Zhang Dahai’s mouth hung open wide, like a fish out of water unable to cry out. His voice stuck in his throat, leaving him to twist his face and limbs in silence, exhibiting the inhuman pain he was enduring.

The little ghost’s munching sound was clearly audible, which, though a frightfully gruesome noise, was strangely melodious to Su Li’s ears.

Zhang Dahai’s soul visibly became much thinner, and in the end, only a nearly transparent silhouette was left, kneeling and begging Su Li for mercy.

Only when he became a ghost did he realize who he had provoked wasn’t just some powerful female ghost, but a Lord Ghost Immortal, against whom even the Ghost King stood no chance.

The little ghost swallowed the last trace of Zhang Dahai’s soul, and its form suddenly swelled a bit.

No longer bearing its previous unsightly appearance, it coiled in mid-air, now resembling a chubby little boy of five or six months old.

Because Zhang Dahai, the culprit who had refined it, had been devoured by it, the karmic blood ties on the Ghost Baby had been greatly diminished, and the last thread was dissolved with a simple gesture from Su Li.

The Little Ghost Baby, delighted, danced around Su Li in several circles, then looked up at her with a pair of eager eyes... into her embrace.

That was where the Little Ghost Baby felt especially safe, as if it were still in its mother’s womb.

Su Li believed in destiny and was not stingy in giving the Little Ghost Baby a chance to grow.

As a Ghost Immortal, the Ghost Energy within her naturally provided nourishment to such little ghosts, which is why the Little Ghost Baby instinctively liked her.

Within the Little Ghost Baby’s shallow memories, it could vaguely recall some fragments of its past.

Through its stammering cries, Su Li also came to understand some details about the Little Ghost Baby’s identity.

It remembered the warm embrace of its mother...

It wasn’t abandoned but taken away.

The infant’s bones that it had carefully stuffed into its belly were not even a month old, likely taken from either Jinghe Hospital or a maternity center.

Su Li touched her Bone Fan, then remembered something and quickly pried open the Little Ghost Baby’s mouth to take a look inside.

Then she said in a heartfelt tone, "You shouldn’t stuff just anything into your mouth, you’re still little, and there are many things you can’t eat yet, or you’ll get sick."

The Little Ghost Baby blinked its big eyes innocently at Su Li, as if to say, "What are you quacking about?"

Su Li: .....

Watching the suddenly silent Lord Ghost Immortal, the Little Ghost Baby tilted its head in thought, then smiled tenderly and opened its mouth to show Su Li its shining white teeth.

Alright, she was overthinking it.

This Little Ghost Baby before her eyes was not a tender human infant; considering how it had torn and devoured an Evil Path with such ferocity, steel and concrete were probably as brittle as tofu in its mouth.

Still, Su Li couldn’t help but reprimand it a few times, "Little ones shouldn’t eat just anything, that soul from the Evil Path just now smelled awful, and eating it could upset your stomach."

The Little Ghost Baby seemed to think this over seriously, then tugged at Su Li’s sleeve and gestured with its finger, indicating that it would only eat delightful things in the future.

Su Li: .... She was worried she might lead this Little Ghost Baby astray, and it was exhausting.

Putting these concerns aside, Su Li, holding the Ghost Baby, began to wander around the hospitals and other places in the city.

The next day, Su Li indeed sensed the existence of a person connected by blood to the Ghost Baby.

Following the bond of blood, Su Li found herself in the premium ward of Jinghe Hospital.

Although it was called a hospital room, it was more like a small studio apartment, fully equipped with its own washing area, wardrobe, and everything one might need. Other than the medical equipment and call button in the room, it was just like being at home.

The place should have been quite comfortable, but the beautiful woman lying on the soft bed didn’t seem to think that.

Her brows were furrowed with worry that never faded, even in her sleep, she found no peace.

The moment Su Li and the Little Ghost Baby appeared here, she could feel the Little Ghost Baby’s joy at seeing the woman before it.

A natural closeness softened the Little Ghost Baby’s features, revealing a tender smile.

The next second, it was already lying on the woman’s belly, gazing greedily at her sleeping face.
