Chapter 229: Chapter 229: One Hundred and Tenth Evil Spirit (1)_1

Once Lady Zhang’s Brothers took the silver, they instantly became freemen, no longer prisoners in the hands of the yamen runners. They bid farewell to their new master and left with the high arresting officer to have their charges dropped at the County Government Office. Meanwhile, Cai Wei mounted her horse and headed towards Qingyun Town.

Halfway there, she suddenly felt something was off. It was as if a pair of sinister eyes were watching her from behind, but when she turned to look, she found nothing.

Such feeling got stronger as the day went on, and she couldn’t bear it. She used her thoughts to summon Brother Ying the mythical bird, whose eyes had penetrating abilities that could see everything within its field of vision.

Upon receiving her command, Brother Ying immediately flew up into the air. His bean-sized eyes suddenly emitted a blinding golden light covering half a mile radius around Cai Wei. After the golden glow receded, he suddenly swooped down like lightning towards a snowbank at the side of the road and snatched out a monkey the size of a rat.

The monkey looked strange, no, it shouldn’t be called a monkey, because even though it had a monkey’s shape, it had a face similar to a human being, and even its facial expressions were almost human-like.

Brother Ying’s sharp claws firmly held it, bringing it over to Cai Wei.

The creature writhed in its small body, letting out high pitched squeals, a pair of red eyes staring eerily at Cai Wei.

Cai Wei was slightly creeped out by this creature that looked half-human, half-monkey, and half-rat. She asked with a disgusted frown, "Brother Ying, what is this thing?"

Brother Ying said, "It’s a Little Ghost."

Cai Wei was startled by the answer, shivering in disbelief, "A Little Ghost? You must be joking, where does a little ghost come from in broad daylight?"

Brother Ying said, "This Little Ghost was raised with Evil Yin Spirits by people. It was transformed by evil spirit energy and is controlled by a person’s thoughts, much like how you can control us..."

"..."

Little Ghosts, Evil Yin Spirits, Evil Spirits...

Words she had only read about in fantasy novels suddenly appeared right in front of Cai Wei, leaving her stunned.

At this moment, she remembered what the evildoer Nangong Yi had said to her earlier, her own scent would attract Tianjizi’s exotic beasts. He told her to smear medicine on herself to mask her Immortal Qi, making it impossible for these exotic beasts to find her. Wasn’t this creepy half-human, half-ghost creature one of Tianjizi’s exotic beasts?

If the exotic beasts were already appearing, it seemed that Tianjizi would also arrive soon. Cai Wei’s heart suddenly dropped!

"Kill it!"

She eyed the nasty creature transformed by evil spirits and raised by Yin Spirits with unspeakable disgust.

The little ghost seemed to understand human language. As soon as Cai Wei gave the execution order, it started squirming and squealing again, its red eyes staring fiercely at Cai Wei. Cai Wei took a step back, turned her head in disgust, not wanting to meet its human-like eyes.

Brother Ying followed his master’s command without hesitation. His steel-sharp claws yanked out forcefully, and with a ripping sound, the Little Ghost was torn in two. A stream of thick, stinky black blood sprayed out, soaking Brother Ying.

"Squawk——"

Suddenly, Brother Ying screamed in agony, falling from mid-air to the snowy ground. The parts of his body covered in black blood quickly turned black, and his small body convulsed, unable to move.

Cai Wei was startled, quickly rushing forward to pick him up and darted into the Space.

"Great Immortal Turtle, please come and see what’s wrong with Brother Ying!"
