Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Shortened Life Expectancy, Do More Good Deeds in the Future

Liu Boyang listened to his son’s sobbing enter his ears, he could not bear it: "Master Qin, please don’t scare him."

Qin Ruan raised her eyes to look at Liu Boyang; her beautiful face conveyed a coldness.

She sneered lightly, pointed at Liu Ze, and scornfully asked: "Do you know what your son did with his classmates?"

Liu Boyang was perplexed, seeing Qin Ruan’s stern expression, he intuitively felt that his son must have done something wrong.

He once again pulled Liu Ze to him, frowned and asked: "Xiaoze, what did you do with your classmates that day?"

Liu Ze’s eyes wandered, he stammered: "I... we just talked about something."

Qin Ruan’s cool voice lowered: "Just talked about something you shouldn’t have?"

"Also, also did something."

Liu Boyang instantly recognized his son’s guilty demeanor.

He kicked Liu Ze’s butt and knocked him to the ground.

Liu Boyang took out his belt from his waist and threatened his son: "You brat, tell the truth about what you guys did!"

Liu Ze, sitting on the ground, saw his father pulling out his belt and was scared stiff.

His father had never been rough with him except when he occasionally got out of line and was slapped lightly.

This time, his father was clearly angry.

Liu Ze couldn’t remember the Puppet Monster and Qin Ruan that scared him. He was completely suppressed by Liu Boyang’s anger.

He nervously swallowed and began to explain: "We thought the amusement park was uninteresting and decided to go into the haunted house. The inside was all fake, we weren’t scared.

We were quite upset since it wasn’t cheap either. Su Dazhi shared the legend about the haunted house at the amusement park.

The rumor said that during the construction workers died, every night there were eerie cries coming from the haunted house, and there was a restricted area in the haunted house which supposedly consoled those who had died."

Meng Jie said he knew where it was and led us there. We saw a closed room located in a very hidden corner inside the haunted house.

We were not scared at the time and went in directly. After entering the room, we found several sculptures, which made of stone and looked very distorted.

Su Dazhi disregarded and didn’t believe it, he urinated on the stone sculptures. Wang Xiaoli is a girl, so she left.

Subsequently, Meng Jie and Chen Kaiming also urinated on the sculptures. They saw me standing still and insisted on me joining them.

I refused. They called me a coward. I felt quite uncomfortable at that moment. They kept egging me on and then...and then I did..."

Upon reaching this point, Liu Ze was so scared his eyes were filled with tears, looking pitifully at his furious father.

"Dad, I really know my mistake. I won’t dare to do it again. I don’t want to die, waaa-"

Liu Ze crawled to Liu Boyang’s feet, held onto his thighs, and cried his eyes out.

After all, he was his own flesh and blood. Liu Boyang could not hold back and pulled him off the ground, gazing at Qin Ruan pleadingly.

Qin Ruan glanced in the direction of the Puppet Monster, which was imprisoned by Nether Power nearby, covered in resentment and Evil Qi, and still struggling.

Hearing Liu Ze talk about the previous incident, the ghost body was furious and hit the display cabinet in the living room vehemently.

"Crash!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Due to the impact, the items in the display cabinet fell to the ground, and the cabinet itself also shook incessantly.

This scene startled everyone. Liu Boyang, his wife, and Liu Ze stared at the display cabinet in disbelief; there was nothing there.

The cabinet was shaking, indicating that something was there.

They all looked terrified, their bodies trembling with fear.

Qin Ruan extended her slender fingers and waved in the air; the display cabinet gradually stopped shaking.

The ghost body was instantly moved to a corner without any furniture.

Looking at the resentful and angry expression of the Puppet Monster, Qin Ruan sighed deeply.

She locked her gaze on Liu Ze who looked pathetic now: "You have shown disrespect for ghosts and insulted an Earth-bound Spirit. Should I call you arrogant or over-confident? How many lives do you think you have to gamble with?"

In Qin Ruan’s eyes, Liu Ze did not find the previous admiration.

He thought Qin Ruan came to settle accounts with him, and immediately begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong. I’ll never dare to do it again. Please spare me!"

Liu Boyang also knew his son had done wrong and was not only angry at his senselessness but also worried about his health.

Having been haunted by the Puppet Monster for many days, his body must have been damaged.

Liu Boyang meekly asked Qin Ruan: "Master Qin, as you can see, Xiaoze knows his mistake. I have scolded and beaten him. Is he going to have any after-effects from being haunted by the Puppet Monster?"

"Almost half of his Yang energy has been consumed, and his life expectancy has decreased. He better do good deeds in the future," Qin Ruan answered coldly.

"His Yang energy got consumed? His life expectancy has decreased?!" Liu’s wife gave a startled cry.

She rushed over, grabbed Qin Ruan’s sleeve, and begged tearfully: "Master Qin, you must save my son Xiaoze. He is still so young and he didn’t know better. Please, is there any way you can save him?!"

Qin Ruan pointed towards the Puppet Monster lying nearby, restrained by Nether Power: "We’ll have to ask him."

Followed by her indication, everyone looked in that direction.

There was nothing there.

Liu Boyang gave a dry laugh: "Master Qin, please don’t fool us. We can’t see that thing."

"Then I’ll let you see!"

Just as Qin Ruan finished her words, she waved her hand front of Liu Boyang and his wife.

"Ahhh!!! There’s a Puppet Monster!!!!"

"Boyang! There’s a Puppet Monster!!!"

Madam Liu activated her Heavenly Eye and saw the male Puppet glowing in golden threads, making her hair stand on end.

While screeching, she hid behind her husband.

Behind Liu Boyang, there was not only his son who he used as a shield, but now also a shrieking wife.

Meanwhile, he, staring wide-eyed at the male Puppet in the corner.

The face of the Puppet was like fragmented ceramics, pieced together, uncannily so.

The Puppet’s features were hideous and twisted, its eyes were about to bulge out of their sockets, and the anger emanating from it scared Liu Boyang to the point his calves trembled.

As a man and the head of the family, he managed not to disgrace himself in front of his wife and children by screaming aloud.

Qin Ruan admired him for his courage, her tone softened considerably, "Mr. Liu, if you want your son’s life back, pleading with him might be your last chance."

Liu Boyang mechanically turned his head, gazing unblinkingly at Qin Ruan, "Really?"

"You can try."

Without a second word, Liu Boyang bent down, dropped to his knees, and kowtowed to the male Puppet not far away.

"My child was disrespectful to you, his mistake is the result of our bad parenting, you want Yang Qi, take mine, Xiaoze is still a child, he has a great future.

You’re the bigger person here, please show mercy and spare him, I beg you..."

Liu Boyang continued his plea while kowtowing to the male Puppet.

Strangely enough, after Liu Boyang knelt down, the male Puppet who had been struggling against the Nether Power suddenly stopped.

The face he made from shattered fragments, turning blue-black, was gradually returning to normal.

It was a simple and honest face, emanating a sense of straightforward honesty.

Qin Ruan placed a hand over her waist, feeling worn out.

Nowadays, she was becoming more and more delicate, unsure if she could continue her activities to collect Evil Qi to sustain her life as her pregnancy progressed.

Huo Chuan saw her placing a hand on her waist and moved closer to ask, "Madam, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, just a little tired from standing."

After scanning the Liu’s family living room, Huo Chuan locked onto a chair not far away, went over and moved it to Qin Ruan.

"Thank you."

After expressing her gratitude, Qin Ruan sat down, which relieved some of the soreness in her waist.

She silently sighed to herself, hoping to collect as much Evil Qi as she could while she was still mobile.

"Please spare a child, I’ll give you all my Yang Qi..."

Liu Boyang was still kowtowing.

Qin Ruan said to Lin Hao beside her, "Go and help him up."

Lin Hao replied in agreement, went to Liu Boyang and helped him up.

Qin Ruan rubbed her sore waist and addressed the Puppet, "It must have taken you many years of cultivation, and you’re about to succeed. You wouldn’t want to ruin your path to reincarnation by taking someone’s life now, would you?"

Her tone was less chilly, but not much warmer.

Earth-bound Spirits are, as their name suggests, dead people whose souls are bound to the place of their death.

Such souls can also be classified as malevolent or benevolent.

Generally speaking, most of them are malevolent Puppets.

After death, all beings are to be reincarnated in the Netherworld in an orderly manner.

The souls that linger in the Mortal World instead of being reincarnated are always haunting the place where they died, indicating that their desires are unfulfilled, or that they hold grudges and hence are unwilling to be reincarnated.

Earth-bound Spirits are trapped in one place and cannot leave that area, they lack the freedom of other wandering spirits.

Generally speaking, even if they are malevolent, they wouldn’t easily harm people.

You could say such spirits are pitiful, they are confined to one activity area, and even as a Puppet, it can get quite boring.

If they get bored, they naturally harass humans.

But these spirits Liu Ze and his friends offended were different.

These were spirits who died unjust deaths, harbored massive resentment, and could not enter the Underworld nor were able to be reincarnated and become human beings.

Qin Ruan had not been to the haunted house at the amusement park, and hadn’t seen the sealed room in the corner of the haunted house that Liu Ze mentioned.

But as soon as she saw the male Puppet, she knew they were clean and hadn’t stained their hands with human blood. They had been striving to enter the Underworld for many years.

The Puppet’s breathing became turbulent, its emotional state steady, but its gaze remained coldly fixed on Liu Ze.

"These little ghosts are all children, their pee disrupted our decades of efforts, we were about to enter the Netherworld, and they ruined it all!"

Qin Ruan asked calmly, "What happened to you back then? Why weren’t there any envoys from the Netherworld to guide you?"

The face of the Puppet, now back to its normal state, showed a touch of coldness, "During the construction of the amusement park, we died cruelly while working due to the unsafe measures at the construction site.

We died miserably because of the construction site’s responsibility, yet the investors didn’t compensate our families. They lived lavishly while our families suffered!"

When he mentioned his family, he paused for a moment, carrying a heavy aura, "To get back at those wealthy people, we, the dead, gathered in the amusement park to scare people. We would play tricks on anyone who came.

Eventually, the investors brought in a Heavenly Master to deal with us. However, that Heavenly Master’s ability was limited, he couldn’t cope with us. We just wanted our families to get compensation. He promised to help us fulfill our desires.

We made a deal, as long as the investors compensate our families, we would stop causing trouble. However, we were tricked by the Heavenly Master, and we’ve been suppressed in the haunted house for decades!

For decades, we have been wandering around in the haunted house. So many people visit the amusement park every day, and we have been sustaining our spiritual bodies by absorbing small amounts of human Qi.

Just a few more years, and we would’ve been able to break free from our cage and go to the Netherworld for reincarnation. But those brats completely ruined it!!!"
