Chapter 257: Chapter 257 - Ling Xiaoxuan: Qin Ruan, I think I’m not afraid of it anymore

This time, when the Puppet inhabited Li Xiao’s body, it didn’t directly aim to kill Lili.

It seemed more like it was intentionally toying with her, slowing down its movements every time it unexpectedly approached Lili and heard her screams of fright.

Just when Lili would start to feel relieved, thinking she had escaped fate, it would lunge at her once again.

Lili was terrified out of her wits.

With the Puppet possessing Li Xiao’s body, her facial features twisted horrifically and her eyes glowed a menacing red. She radiated a terrifying aura, especially the intense murderous intent towards Lili, which was enough to scare anyone half to death.

"Hey, Qin Ruan, I suddenly realize I’m not as afraid of the Puppet as I thought," Ling Xiaoxuan said.

Perhaps she was amused by the Puppet’s actions, because most of Xiaoxuan’s fear seemed to have disappeared.

Qin Ruan turned to look at her, a half-smile on her face: "Just because you’re not scared now, doesn’t mean you won’t be scared later."

Up until now, all the Puppets Qin Ruan had encountered were within her ability to handle.

If a Puppet was more powerful than her, not just her, but everyone would be forced to retreat. It would no longer be simply an issue of fear.

Xiaoxuan understood her meaning and nodded solemnly: "That’s true, but the current scene is quite comical. There’s definitely something wrong with Lili."

Qin Ruan replied with a mocking hum, "Without something wrong, she wouldn’t have been able to do what she did, not letting her own child leave peacefully."

Xiaoxuan’s expression became grave: "Is the child really as pitiful as you said?"

Qin Ruan lightly nod: "Even more so."

Her previous words were not exaggerated in the slightest.

If Lili had gone to a regular hospital to have an abortion, the child might not have been tormented after death, turned into a malevolent Puppet filled with resentment.

Informal providers’ medical equipment is usually substandard and presents significant safety risks. Most of the doctors in these places are uncaring.

If they were conscientious, Lili’s child wouldn’t have been casually thrown into the garbage, left to rot and filled with worms, which is what led to him becoming a Puppet seeking vengeance on Lili.

Yet, every year, nearly a hundred thousand girls still resort to these so-called "procedures".

Among these girls, how many never get off the operation table? How many of their children transform into Puppets?

Qin Ruan’s calculated figures weigh heavily on her heart. She looks solemn, a cold light settled within the depths of her eyes.

Killing must be repaid with life, it’s an unchanging law.

Even for an unborn child, that is still a life.

Terminating a pregnancy, is the same as taking their life.

Without the appropriate rituals to lead them into transmigration, these children are unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Xiaoxuan curiously asked, "Qin Ruan, how are you going to help Lili guide the child’s spirit to find peace?"

"For an average Puppet, you could ask a Taoist or a Buddhist temple to perform a ritual to guide it to reincarnation. This is a common method of resolution, which can quickly lead the Puppet to reincarnation.

Once the Taoist or the temple has guided the Puppet into reincarnation, it can find a place to rest, and everyone can be at peace."

Xiaoxuan curled her lip, "That’d be letting Lili off too easy, this woman ought to suffer for the rest of her life."

"This method won’t work for Lili’s child," Qin Ruan said, lifting her gaze to Lili who was still possessed by the Puppet.

"Many people do not know that aborting a baby can lead to a Puppet. The hardships suffered by Lili’s child are too numerous. The resentment of being aborted by its own mother, being treated as garbage after death, it only seeks to kill Lili to release its resentment."

Xiaoxuan was taken aback, "You mean we should let it kill Lili?"

Even though Xiaoxuan felt Lili deserved to die, the idea of being killed by one’s own child was spine-chilling.

Qin Ruan shook her head, "Killing is not permissible. If an entity breaks the injunction against killing, it cannot reincarnate into a human being in a hundred lifetimes."

"But to simply let Lili go seems unendurable. It really seems like the good die young and the wicked live on."

Hearing that Lili would not be killed by the Puppet, Xiaoxuan became conflicted again.

Noticing the anger in Xiaoxuan’s voice, Qin Ruan attempted to soothe her.

"That’s not entirely true, remember the saying, ’Revenge is a dish best served cold.’"

"So will Lili be punished?"

"Her life won’t be threatened for now, but she has been stripped of her ability to conceive. Her fortune and karma will suffer, and her luck will be affected. As for her health, there’s no way it won’t be affected after having been possessed by the Puppet for so long."

A smile tugged at Xiaoxuan’s eyes, "That’s somewhat comforting, otherwise it wouldn’t seem fair."

"Lili was possessed by the Puppet spirit. She did not promptly guide it to peace; the accumulation of negative karma is too heavy. It’s something she must pay for."

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Don’t come over here!!"

"I swear I will guide you to peace. It was my mistake. I should not have had the abortion, please spare me!!"

Lili realized that Qin Ruan was not going to help her. Her face was a mess with tears, while she dodged Li Xiao and begged for mercy.

Unfortunately, her words seemed to have triggered the Puppet. A wave of Evil Qi rose from Li Xiao in a burst of rage.

Red light flickered in the depths of her eyes, her body radiated a fierce murderous intent.

She ceased toying with Lili, appeared in front of her in a flash, and reached out to grab her throat.

Lili was suspended in mid-air by her hold.

With just a slight squeeze of her wrist, Lili’s life would be over.

Seeing this, Qin Ruan could no longer remain indifferent. She stepped forward immediately to stop the Puppet from taking a life.

Nether Divine Power enveloped Li Xiao, and the Puppet was once again compelled to retreat from the human body.

The Puppet was on the brink of success when it was once again interrupted by Qin Ruan. Its red eyes glared malevolently at her. If one looked closely at its hideous demeanor, they could see a trace of grievance.

Qin Ruan sighed silently.

The golden light spreading from the tip of her finger touched the Puppet’s soul form.

The evil qi on the Puppet’s body entwined with the golden light at high speed, transferring to Qin Ruan’s body.

The Puppet’s evil qi was absorbed by Qin Ruan in an instant.

But even then, its resentment did not disappear.

The Puppet bared its teeth, issuing a sharp, piercing shriek at Qin Ruan.

Knowing that its resentment could not be easily quelled, Qin Ruan lifted her gaze to look at Lili.

Lili was soaked in sweat, her face marred by snot and tears, making for a very pitiful sight.

Qin Ruan’s gaze was cold and indifferent as she asked, "Do you want to personally guide your child to peace?"

"I do! I do!"

Lili nodded vehemently, causing beads of sweat to drop from her face.

Qin Ruan said coolly, "At the hour of Zi tonight, draw a bowl of your blood as an offering to your child. After the bowl is empty, clean it up, transcribe the Ksitigarbha Sutra and burn it for him, sincerely apologize to him.

Once that is done, go to a serene and pure Buddhist temple the next day. Set up an altar in the temple for the Puppet’s spirit to be guided to peace. The ritual to guide the Puppet requires a serious and solemn setting, the presiding practitioner must be an upstanding Master. Only then can the Puppet be impressed by the power of merit.

Go to the temple, explain your situation to them, they will know what to do. Remember, sincerity is crucial, otherwise, nobody can save you."

Lili’s face showed confusion. She didn’t understand what Qin Ruan was saying.
