Chapter 637: Chapter 637: The Thing That Doesn’t Know Whether It’s Alive or Dead, Rushing to Seek Death

Qin Ruan had already dealt with hundreds of formidable puppets. Why would she care about one small puppet?

She had just absorbed a sufficient amount of Evil Qi, and the abundant Nether Divine Power provided her with seemingly endless strength.

The red thread on the inside of her arm had been warm as it absorbed the Evil Qi.

Qin Ruan knew that her life expectancy had been extended.

All those souls, neither too many nor too few, had bought her less than two years of life.

Qin Ruan gazed at Wei Linchen resentfully, "How many words?"

Wei Linchen was greatly shocked inwardly as he surveyed the pile of puppet bodies lying around them.

Since he entered the Qing city Taoist observatory, he had not encountered so many puppets.

Hearing Qin Ruan’s sudden question, he revealed his confusion, "Hmm?"

Qin Ruan tightly gripped the Golden Whip in her hand, raised her chin, tugged at the corner of her lips, and asked through gritted teeth, "The thesis, how many words?"

"Eight thousand, I guess."

A flame leapt up inside Qin Ruan.

It sounded so easy for him.

As if asking her to write an eight-thousand-word thesis was a huge favor from Wei Linchen.

Qin Ruan’s hand slightly trembled, and she nearly swung out the whip in her grip.

Suddenly, her dark eyes lowered, emanating a cold glow like icy frost.

The air behind her rippled, abnormally clear in the eerily quiet atmosphere.

Sensing danger, Qin Ruan took a step ahead, and whipped the Golden Whip behind her.

The Golden Whip was unleashed.

The small girl behind Qin Ruan intending to ambush her had instantly been spanned by the Golden Whip.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The other party’s puppet body was harmed by the Nether Power, and she screamed a shrill cry.

Qin Ruan’s eyes dimmed in the deep gloom, her face was sullen.

What an ignorant creature to provoke her at a time when her mood was far from good.

She turned around, her cold eyes fixed on the small girl who was now only a meter away from her.

Under the restraint of the Golden Whip, the puppet girl’s Evil Qi significantly weakened.

It would be such a waste for the rich Evil Qi to be devoured by the Nether Power.

Qin Ruan raised her fingertip, a thin golden light probed into the small girl’s puppet body.

The Nether Power greedily absorbed the Evil Qi from her body.

The loss of Puppet Power left the small girl aghast.

She voiced her question to Qin Ruan, "What did you do to me?"

Qin Ruan ignored her, within a few seconds, she absorbed all the Evil Qi from the girl.

She reached out her hand to the void, and the Golden Whip, which had wound around the small girl, returned to her hand.

Stepping leisurely, Qin Ruan moved closer to the small girl.

Qin Ruan stood in front of her, using the Golden Whip’s handle to lift her chin.

The small puppet lost her Evil Qi and became as weak as an ant, but her eyes were still full of hatred.

Qin Ruan scrutinized her up and down, gave a light laugh, a playful expression played on her face.

"Little puppet, tell me where the piece of dead wood on you came from."

A piece of dead wood had been left in the room after Nangong Yunlong’s death.

The wood still held traces of Lingfeng and Lan An’s presence.

The spirits of Odi School had the same piece of dead wood on their puppet bodies, she had to consider if there was more to it.

"Bah!" The little girl’s features twisted, "I won’t tell you!"

She feared the oppressive force emanating from Qin Ruan, but she still had the courage to provoke.

Qin Ruan’s eyes slightly narrowed, a dangerous glint flashed through her gaze.

She fell silent for a moment, before laughing softly, "It doesn’t matter, even if you don’t tell me, I’ll find out."

The Golden Whip in Qin Ruan’s hand disappeared without a trace. She pointed her fingertip at the small girl’s forehead.

Through the Soul Searching Technique, she would reveal everything.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The pain of soul searching is a thousand times more agonizing than the extraction of Evil Qi.

In the midst of the little girl’s sharp, piercing cries, Qin Ruan absorbed all her memories.

As the flood of unfamiliar memories crammed into her mind, her facial expression gradually became solemn and heavy.

The scenes of confinement and horrific screams that were too appalling to behold, the shocking scenarios that upended her worldview, all made Qin Ruan’s heart sink.

When her fingertips left the girl’s forehead, she looked upon the girl with pity.

Qin Ruan’s brow twitched, and she shook her head towards the girl, saying in a sigh: "So you’ve been a puppet for decades, and you’ve managed to survive till now."

The little girl’s bloodshot eyes seemed about to tear up, her pale face displaying signs of panic, shame, and rage.

The sympathy in Qin Ruan’s eyes pierced her.

She roared in unabated fury: "What have you done to me? What do you know?!"

Qin Ruan cast her eyes down, concealing the pity in her eyes, and returned to her previous cold tone, "I can help you enter the Netherworld, reincarnate as soon as possible, all the pain in this life will be far away from you."

"What do you know, stop being so presumptuous!"

The little girl, like a crazed being, rushed at Qin Ruan.

She knew that Qin Ruan had seen it.

Had seen all that she had gone through.

All the unbearable things, those suffocating experiences, all known by this woman.

No, not just her!

Every lost soul hanging on the Huangjue Tree had endured the unbearable pain and torment.

The little girl tried to push Qin Ruan but was lifted by her collar partway through.

She kicked in the void, her puppet body shaking in an attempt to break free.

Wei Linchen held her in the air, his face showing displeasure: "Hey puppet, can’t you see she’s pregnant. You could have killed her with that push!"

The voice of the stranger fell harshly on the little girl’s ears, causing her puppet body to tremble violently.

"Stay away, stay away, roll, just roll away!!!"

In her mind, she remembered the dried-up Huangjue Tree.

The cold, coarse trunk, throwing her into the void, exposing her puppet body to the harsh weather conditions, sucked away all her Puppet Power.

Through her tears and pleas, she was met with only despairing torture.

Not just her, but also the lost souls that were similarly hanged next to her, their screams filled the air.

No one could rescue them, and no one would discover their existence.

They could only survive by clinging onto the desire to live while enduring the ceaseless torture of the Huangjue Tree day and night.

Those who didn’t comply, the souls not hanged, were reduced to piles of white bones under the tree.

Years passed, causing the heap of bones to form a small mountain.

Their souls were gone forever.

But the obedient souls were tortured day in and day out by the cold, lifeless branches of the Huangjue Tree.

Something was odd about the little puppet’s aggressive behavior and frenzied demeanor.

Qin Ruan understood her experiences and the reasons behind them.

She pressed her brow, feeling nauseous: "Teacher Wei, put her down."

Wei Linchen also realized something was wrong with the little puppet.

He examined her from all angles but couldn’t find the root cause.

Her actions had made him feel like some dangerous beast.

Wei Linchen asked Qin Ruan: "What’s wrong with her?"

Qin Ruan responded bluntly and ruthlessly: "You are a man, you scared her."

Wei Linchen still couldn’t understand, but he put the little puppet down.

Qin Ruan said to him: "You should go find Lin Hao, I will handle things here."

Wei Linchen was aware of Qin Ruan’s ability. He knew that if she said she would handle it, it essentially meant the issue with Huangjue Tree would be resolved.

Before leaving, he asked politely: "Are you sure you can handle it alone?"

"I will." Qin Ruan waved him off without even looking in his direction.

Wei Linchen followed her gaze down to the little puppet he had dropped on the ground.

He awkwardly touched his nose before quickly making his way towards Lin Hao.
