Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Lin Hao has a special physical condition, needs to be cautious and prudent

Qin Ruan comfortably crossed her legs, sitting in the chair, and said in a casual tone, "So, you are seeking revenge by targeting these kids?"

The male puppet spirit looked indignant. "Our hard work was destroyed in an instant and we are unable to reincarnate, so what’s wrong with us breaking through the barrier to exact revenge on them?"

The bitterness and resentment in his tone were clearly audible to everyone.

Liu Ze was frightened out of his wits behind his father, and Qin Ruan could hear his teeth chattering.

The child was truly terrified. The events of tonight will remain with him for the rest of his life, casting an inescapable shadow on him.

Qin Ruan gave a mysterious smile, "It’s not the Heavenly Master who fooled you. You violated the rules of the two realms. Trade with humans has a cost."

The male puppet spirit looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Qin Ruan’s voice was slow and deep as she explained, "The Heavenly Master helped you achieve your wish, wouldn’t other souls also follow in your steps if you don’t pay the price, thinking that making a fuss is all it takes to achieve their desires?

Your families received the due compensation, and you have to pay a price for it. For instance, wandering in the same place for a hundred years, and only after a hundred years will a messenger from the Netherworld arrive to guide your souls..."

A suspicious look crossed the face of the naïve male puppet spirit, "Is that true?"

Qin Ruan lowered her gaze, rubbing her fingertips as if in thought.

After a while, she raised her head and looked fixedly at the male puppet spirit, her tone exuding firm conviction. "Return the Yang Qi to Liu Ze and stop causing trouble in the mortal world. The few years won’t make a difference. I can send you to the Netherworld."

In the male puppet spirit’s sinister eyes, a terrifying light of surprise shone, "Are you certain?"

Qin Ruan nodded, "Ask all your companions to come. I will send you away immediately."

She extended her slender, beautiful hand towards the puppet spirit, retracting the golden cord binding his soul.

The male puppet spirit, now liberated, wore an uncertain expression on his face.

As he looked at Qin Ruan, doubt crept into his voice, "Are you sure you’re not tricking me?"

With steady and profound eyes, Qin Ruan looked at him. The gentleness in her eyes faded like shards of ice, "Deceiving you holds no meaning for me. If you don’t trust me, I can summon the envoy from the Netherworld right now."

"Alright!" replied the male puppet spirit, nodding in a simple and honest manner.

Even though Qin Ruan had the power, who knew if she was deceitful or not? If he brought his companions and she rounded all of them up, they would be left with nowhere to cry.

Qin Ruan, oh this honest man, could only helplessly shake her head at this point.

It was a true mystery whether this puppet spirit was acting dumb or simply was. If she had malicious intentions, she would have directly annihilated them instead of going the extra mile.

Qin Ruan turned to Liu’s family and gave them a nod, "Mr. Liu, the next part may be unpleasant, why don’t you go inside?"

"Alright!"

Liu’s wife was the first to respond, pulling her son’s arm and dashing towards the bedroom.

Looking at his wife and son fleeing, Liu Boyang’s mouth twitched with an unspeakable expression on his face.

Could this be described as ’in life, a couple is a pair of birds flying together; when disaster strikes, they scatter in different directions’?

Suppressing his strange feelings, Liu Boyang nodded at Qin Ruan, "Thank you, Master Qin, I’ll go in first."

With Liu’s family inside the room, Qin Ruan slowly stood up.

And the unshakable Song Banshen, who was seated on the sofa like Mount Tai, stood up along with her.

He said to Qin Ruan, "Friend Qin, I’m old now, it’s better if I avoid some matters."

"Alright then, find a place to stay. It won’t take more than half an hour for me to finish the job."

Once Qin Ruan finished speaking, Song Banshen made a beeline for the Liu family’s dining room.

Seeing him quicken his pace without any hesitation, it was clear that he had already considered where to hide.

Only Qin Ruan, Huo Chuan, Lin Hao, and the male puppet spirit were left in the living room.

Qin Ruan turned to the two men beside her and gave them a quiet instruction. "You two step back, and don’t speak unless necessary."

"Understood," Huo Chuan took Lin Hao and backed away.

They didn’t move too far from Qin Ruan, stopping around three meters away.

Qin Ruan’s beautiful eyes met the puppet spirit’s, both amused and serious. Her elegant demeanor had changed, revealing an unruly spirit and an underlying ruthlessness.

Her unbridled assertiveness at this moment was both wild and flamboyant.

With everything under control, her calm only served to make the puppet spirit nervous.

Qin Ruan stared at the male puppet spirit, her crimson lips parting slightly. "I will summon the envoy from the Netherworld, and you shouldn’t delay. Gather all your companions as quickly as possible. Make sure to bring each and every one of them.

Certainly, if you change your mind afterwards, you should know that I’m not all talk. I can make you and all your companions turn into ashes."

When she mentioned turning into ashes, Qin Ruan emphasized her words, her rebellious exterior and the underlying ferocity emerging at once.

The male puppet spirit’s soul trembled subconsciously. He suppressed his feelings of panic and put on a false face of calm. "As long as you can promise us reincarnation in the Underworld, I’ll summon them immediately."

"Deal!"

Qin Ruan slowly closed her eyes, quickly forming hand seals, her pale lips slightly parted.

"I call upon the teachings of Yama from ten palace halls to kill ghosts, granting me divine powers, empowering me to kill, what god dares to resist, what ghost dares to present, Yama of the ten palace halls, make it as quick as a law!"

As soon as her words faded, a faint black mist filled the room.

Then came a cold, chilling sensation that even clothes could hardly block. A coldness, intertwined with Evil Qi.

Both Lin Hao and Huo Chuan could not help but wrap their arms around themselves, their breath appearing icy.

The sound of clanging started, louder than the engine of a train.

It was like heavy chains dragging on the ground, the sound echoing from far to near, causing immense fear.

"I greet Miss Qin."

Two underworld envoys from the Netherworld, shrouded in black Qi, stepped forward and bowed slightly to Qin Ruan.

"I apologize for the inconvenience, but there are a few dead souls here that I need your help to take away," she said.

Qin Ruan was polite, her tone gentle.

The two envoys trembled in fear: "No need to be polite, just give us your orders."

Qin Ruan pointed at the male Puppet Soul: "He’s one of them. There are a few more of his kind who are yet to arrive. They should be here soon."

The two envoys stared intensely at the male Puppet Soul with their cold, eerie eyes, emitting an intimidating aura of Evil Qi and the atmosphere of slaughter.

The male Puppet Soul, trembled with fear, dropped to his knees immediately: "Esteemed envoys, I wish to enter the Underworld. My comrades and I have been trapped for many years. We’ve really had enough!"

The envoy on the left produced a register, his voice frigid: "State your name!"

The male Puppet Soul announced his names, and the envoy checked it against the register.

The envoy furrowed his brows as he looked through the register. The more he read, the deeper his frown became.

Slowly closing the register, the envoy bent slightly towards Qin Ruan: "Miss Qin, this Puppet Soul is bound to remain in the Mortal World for another four years, six months, and twenty-three days before he can enter the Netherworld."

Qin Ruan nodded, her tone gentle yet resolute: "I am aware. However, they had violated the rules, having confronted humans."

"The Underworld King has tasked me with cleansing the Mortal World of all evil spirits and demons, including these ones. Since their violation has now come under my watch, I reckon there’s no problem sending them to the Netherworld ahead of time?"

The envoy on the right responded: "Indeed, it is so."

Qin Ruan’s lips curved in satisfaction. She glanced at the male Puppet Soul still on his knees: "You heard it all. I will send you to the Netherworld. Now, bring over your companions."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The male Puppet Soul rose to his feet, his feet leaving the ground as he floated towards the window of the Liu Family’s house.

The outside sky was dark, with a handful of households still lit, and the dim yellow streetlights were also on.

Nudging the window open, the male Puppet Soul leaned towards the outside and let out a piercing, sharp cry.

The sound was invasive and made people frown when they heard it.

This was Puppet speech, only intelligible to their kind.

Qin Ruan covered her ears with her fingers; her eyebrows scrunched up clearly highlighting that she too could hear this shrill noise.

"Bloody hell! What the f*** is that sound!"

The sound of Lin Hao cursing loudly resonated from behind them, his voice particularly loud.

"Who?!"

His remark reached the envoys’ ears clearly. The two agents turned around, their piercing gaze focused on Lin Hao through the heavy fog.

Lin Hao, oblivious to the gaze, blocked his ears, his face distorted in irritation.

The sudden, shrill noise almost deafened him.

He struggled to describe the noise -- cold, eerie, chilling to the bone.

It was sharp, like someone crying and laughing at the same time. It was scarier than any ghost film.

Huo Chuan couldn’t hear the Puppet’s speech, but Lin Hao’s cursing startled him.

He covered Lin Hao’s mouth, leaned into his ear, and sternly warned: "Shut up, Madam told us to keep quiet!"

Lin Hao easily shrugged off his hand, frowning and complaining, "Can’t you hear it? That sound is almost scaring the hell out of me!"

Huo Chuan’s eyes twitched, losing patience with Lin Hao’s sudden outburst.

"I can’t hear it. Don’t forget Madam’s instructions."

Lin Hao sighed heavily, shut his mouth, and remained silent.

The echo in his ears had softened, but he kept his hand over his ears just in case.

Lin Hao finally fell silent. However, the two envoys had already noticed him.

Qin Ruan heard Lin Hao’s outburst due to the Puppet speech. She laughed and told the two envoys, "He’s a friend of mine. He has a special physique that allows him to see Puppet Souls and hear Puppet speech, so he’s still adapting."

The two envoys withdrew their cold stares from Lin Hao, their pervasive aura of slaughter slowly receding.

The envoy on the left nodded gently to Qin Ruan, advising her softly, "Miss Qin, it would be wise to remind him that humans and Puppets tread separate paths. He must be careful in his words and actions."

Qin Ruan nodded: "I will."

She was uncertain what exactly was exceptional about Lin Hao’s physique.

If he is going to be around Puppet Souls for a long time, he should be mindful of certain things.

She hoped he wouldn’t get himself into trouble out of ignorance.

After signaling his companions with Puppet speech, the male Puppet Soul obediently floated over to Qin Ruan and the envoys.

He bowed respectfully: "They will arrive shortly. The closest ones are just within this complex, and the furthest ones are only a few kilometers away."

Qin Ruan raised her eyes slightly and asked him: "Did they sap the Yang Qi of those children?"

"..." The male Puppet Soul’s straightforward face showed a touch of distress.

He looked at the two impassive envoys, unsure of what to say.

In his view, the underworld envoys were terrifying, even more so than Qin Ruan.

After all, these were the ones who controlled the fate of his kind and would lead him to his next life in the Underworld.

The male Puppet Soul was afraid of misspeaking and jeopardizing his chance at rebirth.
