Chapter 448: Chapter 448: The Netherworld Envoy Also Became a Fairy Once

Black fog emerged from the bodies of the Five Puppets and was frantically absorbed by Qin Ruan. The sight was utterly bizarre.

Lin Hao had a feeling that it was Qin Ruan who was the puppet, while the Five Puppets opposite her were normal people she had harmed.

The Five Puppets were still huddled together, weeping and wailing, and they did not notice that Qin Ruan was absorbing the Evil Qi from their bodies.

Except for the two envoys and Lin Hao, no one else could see this scene.

Lin Hao knew that Qin Ruan was pregnant. The influx of Puppet Energy into her body made him anxious, causing him to rush towards her.

Huo Chuan, sharp-eyed as he was, swiftly grabbed his arm, "What are you trying to do, lad?!"

He genuinely thought that Lin Hao was a troublemaker who only added to the chaos.

He didn’t understand what Madam saw in him that made her keep him around.

Lin Hao turned to Huo Chuan and said solemnly, "She is in danger!"

"No, she isn’t. We just need to stand by and watch Madam act, we can’t disturb her!"

Huo Chuan couldn’t see what Lin Hao could, but he knew Madam’s capability and was sure she could handle the situation.

At this moment, it was their job to stay put and follow Madam’s instructions instead of meddling with her business.

His mind cooling down, Lin Hao asked doubtingly, "Really?"

"Trust me, this is new to you. You’ll get used to it with time."

Huo Chuan pulled Lin Hao closer to him and restrained him so that he couldn’t cause any trouble for Madam.

Lin Hao sighed deeply, his eyes intently fixed on Qin Ruan and the Five Puppets, as well as the envoys of the Netherworld not far away.

The shock he felt was too profound to be described in words.

The appearance of these demons and Puppet Monsters had immensely shaken his mind.

Even as his emotions began to settle down, he couldn’t fully process his thoughts.

As Qin Ruan was absorbing the Five Puppets’ Evil Qi, she felt waves of heat in the inside of her arm.

This signified that the red lifeline was gradually lengthening. Qin Ruan’s enchantingly innocent face revealed a hint of happiness.

Once the Evil Qi from the souls of the Five Puppets was completely absorbed, she swiftly withdrew her hand, and immediately pulled up her sleeve to examine the red line on her inner arm.

The red line had grown slightly, even though not by much, it still represented an additional month of life span.

Qin Ruan slowly exhaled.

As long as there was a gain, it was good. The worst would be to gain nothing.

Seeing Qin Ruan retract her hand, the two envoys stepped forward and asked, "Miss Qin, shall we take these five lost souls away?"

"Not yet." Qin Ruan declined their proposal.

"Four of the Puppets have absorbed the Yang energy from several children. Send them to return the Yang energy to those children first, then you can take them away."

The Five Puppets, previously deaf to human words, miraculously quieted down at this moment.

With strange lights gleaming in their dark eyes, they were fixated on Qin Ruan and the Netherworld envoys.

The despair in their eyes had turned into astonishment, mixed with a flurry of complex emotions spanning great sorrow to great joy after narrowly surviving a catastrophe.

"Alright, we will take them to return the Yang energy now."

The two envoys flung out the Soul Hooking Chain in their hands towards the Five Puppets.

With a clattering sound, the souls of the Five Puppets were locked in the Soul Hooking Chain.

The Five Puppets shrieked with fear.

The Soul Hooking Chain was a weapon specially designed for the Underworld Envoys to capture Puppets. When it touched a Puppet’s soul, it inflicted immense damage.

The sudden pain caused by the Soul Hooking Chain was too much for the Five Puppets to bear.

Pulling the Soul Hooking Chain, the two envoys instantly dragged the Five Puppets in front of them.

Apart from Puppet Two, the other four Puppets had their eyes wide open.

They stared incessantly at the two fierce and brutish Netherworld envoys as if they were looking at divine beings.

Their bizarre black eyes sparkled astonishingly. They couldn’t help but want to absorb the two envoys completely into their eyes.

"Are you real Underworld Envoys?"

The envoy on the left, who was relatively amiable, nodded lightly.

"So it’s true, Niu Er didn’t lie to us!"

"Have we just hit the jackpot?"

"Wa wa wa....."

The puppets chimed in, the last one, a short puppet, cried out in excitement.

"Oh my dear mother! I’ve been waiting for this! I can’t bear to be a puppet anymore. I want to be a human, I want to eat meat, and I want women to warm my bed!!!"

In the midst of his crying spree, he made a statement that left everyone in stitches.

"Just look at your disgraceful behavior!"

The other four puppets looked at him with a certain distaste, swaying their Soul Hooking Chain in avoidance. They clearly didn’t hold him in high regards.

Niu Er’s gloom had vanished, his face lit up with joy. He excitedly said to the puppets, "I told you didn’t I? We’re finally free!!"

"Good brother!"

"Niu Er, well done!"

"I’ll never forget your kindness. In our next life, if we meet, I’ll treat you to some good food and drinks!"

"Wu wu wu... Niu Er, I’ll remember you too. Don’t worry, if we’re together in our next life, I... I will treat you to meat!"

Niu Er, although trapped, could still move his arms.

He scratched his head and laughed stupidly, "We’re brothers who’ve been through decades together. Let’s be together in our next life as well!"

These five puppets were extremely thick-skinned. In front of the Underworld Envoys and Qin Ruan, whom they deemed a powerful Heavenly Master, they excitedly discussed their brotherhood in the next life.

Qin Ruan twitched her lips, utterly impressed by them.

The corners of her lips unconsciously arched upwards.

She had laughed a lot tonight, all because of these five puppets.

There was clearly a comedic streak in these puppets!

The Netherworld envoy, having encountered countless puppet souls, considered the antics of these five puppets to be rather unusual.

They had been delaying for a while now. Given Qin Ruan’s presence, the envoy reluctantly cleared his throat: "Ahem... "

The beautiful fantasies of the five puppets for the future came to a halt and the room became quiet.

Each of the five puppets gazed expectantly at the envoy, as obedient as students looking at their teacher.

The two envoys bowed to Qin Ruan: "Miss Qin, it’s getting late. We will take these five puppets and return their Yang energy."

Qin Ruan nodded: "I appreciate your effort."

"You’re too kind."

The envoy of the Netherworld, pulling the five puppets, floated into the thickest part of the black mist.

Among the five puppets being pulled, Niu Er turned his head and shouted toward Qin Ruan: "Master, thank you! I will never forget your kindness!"

His response was the sound of Qin Ruan’s light laughter.

The Netherworld envoys and the five puppets disappeared from the Liu Family’s hall. The thick black mist dissipated, instantly restoring brightness to the spacious hall.

Huo Chuan saw Qin Ruan’s figure. He quickly stepped forward, pulling Lin Hao, who was deep in thought.

"Madam, are you alright?"

"What could possibly happen to me."

Qin Ruan smiled lazily, reaching up to flip her hair.

She lowered her eyes, noticed her rolled-up sleeve, raised her hand to straighten it, and said indifferently: "Go and call for Master Song."

"Yes, I’ll go right away."

Huo Chuan turned to leave, and before leaving, he signaled Lin Hao with his eyes.

The latter had regained his composure and slightly nodded, understanding that Huo Chuan wanted him to protect Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan called out to the departing Huo Chuan: "Also, invite the Liu family out. Let’s settle this sooner so we can leave."

"Yes, madam."

Huo Chuan carried on without a pause.
