Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Qin Ruan Takes Action, Helps Minmin Break Free from Manipulation

Minmin’s face was dark and cold, her tone interspersed with bloodthirsty ruthlessness. "I can’t harm them. They’re all under the protection of the local evil god."

Evil God? Nanying indeed paid homage to some unorthodox, strange forces.

Qin Ruan looked at Minmin’s already pale face that seemed to be getting worse.

She frowned and asked, "How did you make a deal with the demon?"

A look of reminiscence appeared on Minmin’s face. "One day, a master was doing business with those villains from Nanying. I happened to be assigned to entertain him. The first thing he said to me was whether I wanted revenge or not.

He said he could help me get rid of all the pain, that I wouldn’t be imprisoned in that hellish cage. I always dreamt about getting revenge, about escaping that damned place. I had had enough!!"

Qin Ruan observed the hatred on Minmin’s face and the slight neurosis deep in her eyes, realizing her suffering wasn’t only physical but also psychological.

She asked softly, "So you agreed?"

With an icy look on her pale face, Minmin replied, "I have no reason not to."

It was a matter that could be clarified with a few words, Qin Ruan didn’t understand why Minmin hadn’t mentioned it before.

So she asked out loud, "Why didn’t you say this earlier?"

"Because...uh!" Minmin threw up a big mouthful of blood.

The blood was black and vomit-thick, and it reeked terribly.

Minmin casually wiped her mouth, her lips curling into a cold smirk, arrogantly and disdainfully, as if challenging someone.

She lifted her eyes to Qin Ruan’s cold face, weak in tone but overflowing with humor, she said, "Because...it’ll backfire."

As she said, another mouthful of black blood kept spilling out of her mouth.

Qin Ruan’s eyes widened slightly and she immediately rushed forward.

Just as Minmin was about to collapse, Qin Ruan held her up, pressing her hand onto Minmin’s shoulder.

As Minmin started to struggle, Qin Ruan said coldly, "Don’t move!"

The hand she pressed on Minmin’s shoulder began to quickly absorb the Evil Qi from her body.

After sucking all the Evil Qi, the Demonic Qi lingering around her body remained intact.

Through Qin Ruan’s eyes, one could see the Demonic Qi consciously absorbing the few life forces left in Minmin’s body.

She frowned, her face darkened slightly.

Backlash, a cruel trick.

The second a prey locked by the demon betrays it, they destined to be eliminated.

Qin Ruan pursed her lips slightly, without time to think, she directly separated Minmin’s soul from the living dead body.

Her hands were surrounded by a faint gold light—the Nether Divine Power.

Be it Demonic Qi or Puppet Energy, they all had to retreat in front of it. If they retaliated, they would be crushed and annihilated by the Nether Power.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The pain of separating her soul from her body was too much for Minmin to bear, and she let out a mournful scream.

Her lower body had turned into black, dirty, bloody water. The speed of the Demonic Qi devouring her was too quick.

Qin Ruan’s eyes were icy, and a stern look was plainly visible in them.

Her fine hands tinged with faint scars worked in a swift, ruthless, and precise manner, stably separating the two.

At the moment when the physical body and the soul were separated, Minmin’s physical body turned into a pool of black blood.

The not-so-wide interrogation room was filled with a strong odor of decay.

Lu Han entered the room, almost retching at the stench.

Covering his mouth and nose, he frowned and asked, "What’s that smell?"

Looking around the interrogation room, he noticed the absence of Minmin: "Where is Minmin?!"

Qin Ruan pointed to a spot next to her: "Here."

"..." Lu Han was dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.

He stared at Qin Ruan for a long time, and with an unsteady voice asked, "Are you joking?"

Qin Ruan shook her head, focusing on Minmin, unseen to Lu Han’s naked eye.

She asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yes." Minmin nodded.

Though the paleness of her face was unsettling, at least she was no longer under the control of the Demonic Qi.

Qin Ruan admired the not-so-poorly made up girl draped in death energy, "Who told Han Kexin about this place?"

Minmin: "Master Xu."

Qin Ruan: "The Master you met in Nanying?"

Minmin nodded: "Yes, I don’t know his name, but I heard the people of Nanying calling him Master Xu, showing great respect towards him."

Though Qin Ruan’s understanding of the Metaphysics Circle was limited, she also knew that a Heavenly Master or Taoist dealing with demons could not be any righteous person.

She concealed a hint of danger in her eyes and asked Minmin, "Do you know what he looks like?"

Minmin shook her head: "I don’t know. He wore a black cloth over his face, but he’s not tall, maybe a bit taller than me."

Qin Ruan estimated that Minmin was around one meter and sixty centimeters tall.

A man slightly above one meter and sixty, would indeed be considered short.

Her mouth almost imperceptibly pulled up in a smirk: "Was he Eastern?"

Minmin widened her eyes, as if recalling something, quickly answered, "His Mandarin is not standard, and his tone of speech is too rigid, I suspect he’s not East Asian."

Qin Ruan rested her chin in her hand, with a thoughtful look on her face, her eyes’ sparkle veiled and obscure.

She suspected that this Master Xu was more like a practitioner of the Nanyang Evil Path.

Unable to figure out a reason, Qin Ruan lifted her eyes and saw that Minmin’s soul seemed to have become fainter.

She pressed her lips together, speaking gravely, "Your soul has been wounded by the Demonic Qi; it can’t sustain for long. I am going to send you to the Netherworld. Is there any wish you still have unfulfilled?"

Without any hesitation, Minmin said, "I want to know about Ajin."

Having killed Han Kexin and Han Xian, even if she wanted to devour their wandering souls, she could do nothing with Qin Ruan there.

Right now, Minmin just wanted to know how Ajin was doing.

Qin Ruan sighed softly, turning to look at Lu Han, who was standing not far away, utterly speechless.

"How long will it take to get news from Ajin?"

"At least half an hour." Lu Han frowned as he looked at Qin Ruan, suspicion creeping into his eyes, "What’s up with Minmin?"

"She made a deal with a demon and suffered a backlash. Her physical body is now destroyed, she’s currently in a soul state."

Noticing the doubt in Lu Han’s eyes, Qin Ruan smiled and asked him, "Do you want to see her?"

Remembering his previous experience with the Puppet, Lu Han waved his hand: "No need, I just want to say a few words to her."

Qin Ruan stepped aside to face Minmin and Lu Han directly: "Go ahead, she can hear you."

"Cough!" Lu Han coughed lightly, looking straight ahead into the void. He adjusted to a standard standing posture as his aura shifted.

It was solemn and respectful, the kind of demeanor one has when meeting a leader.

As the oldest son of the Lu Family, one of the four major families, Lu Han’s treatment of Minmin in this manner was not just because she was his comrade’s sister, but also because she was the family member of a righteous person.

He spoke slowly: "Minmin, your brother died tragically because of his exposure, but his glory is recorded in the files. Those criminals have not been completely resolved, and your brother’s glory cannot be granted.

Besides your brother, there are a group of comrades in dire straits, and their efforts and hard work cannot be abandoned halfway because of the sacrifice of their comrades.

Some things I need to keep confidential, but what I can tell you is that for every comrade who has sacrificed, we retain their merits. Your brother is a hero."
