The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop
Chapter 781 - 50: Heavenly Master and the Former Slacker 50
"Holy shit! No way, I’m gonna puke!" Wu Yihao, seeing the corpse for the first time, couldn’t help but feel his stomach spasm, turning around to retch.
"Holy shit! Ugh! Are there man-eating ghosts or monsters here? Oh, sorry aunty, we couldn’t help but swear in front of you." Liang Bing was also retching.
Cui Wenyan’s face darkened. Among these remains, there was a skull barely recognizable, but it resembled the face of a girl’s wandering spirit she saw outside. Was that girl killed here? Or was she brought here after being killed?
Luo Peng and Bai Yue also frowned. Although they were spirits, they had never killed anyone, and witnessing such a scene was both shocking and distressing.
"It was their own relatives who harmed them. Just because they were girls." Cui Wenyan suddenly spoke through clenched teeth, furious. She had seen, seen what happened before. These girls were originally subjected to abuse because of their families’ patriarchal views. Later, an adult appeared here who could fulfill the villagers’ wishes, but to fulfill them, there had to be offerings.
These girls were brought here by their families as offerings. Yet the vengeful spirit inside didn’t consume their bodies entirely, but instead left some parts behind, as if picky. The spirits were not devoured either, allowing them to wander freely.
What exactly was that vengeful spirit’s intention?
"Are you saying these girls were sent in by their parents to feed the vengeful spirit?" Wu Yihao felt a chill run through his body.
"Isn’t that just insane?" Liang Bing’s eyes widened.
"The vengeful spirit is inside." Cui Wenyan took out her Nine Bends Whip and began to shake the Bell in her hand.
The sound of the bell rang out, seeming both close by and incredibly distant.
Soon, a roar like that of a wild beast echoed from behind the wall.
Was that the vengeful spirit? Wu Yihao and Liang Bing were both astonished but soon came to terms with it. Having seen fox spirits, was seeing a vengeful spirit really that strange?
The roar came closer, full of agitation and rage.
The hollow wall suddenly cracked open in the next moment, revealing a black shadow inside. The shadow barely resembled a human form, with a pair of eyes glowing red and a gaping mouth.
"Who is it..." the vengeful spirit roared, letting out a heavy growl from its throat, but before it could finish its sentence, a whip lashed towards it.
The vengeful spirit desperately rolled to the side to avoid the attack. Cui Wenyan gave it no chance to breathe and struck again.
Wu Yihao and Liang Bing watched Cui Wenyan and the vengeful spirit’s battle, unable to look away.
"Is your deskmate really that strong? She seems to know martial arts?" Liang Bing watched the scene excitedly.
"I had no idea. I only knew she was fast at running and good at sports. Every day after school at noon, she’s the first to the cafeteria, and I’m second." Wu Yihao was also surprised, feeling that Cui Wenyan’s skills were beyond mere athleticism, it was like she knew martial arts.
Luo Peng also watched with wide eyes. That Nine Bends Whip, if it hit them little foxes, they would really freeze from a single lash. Thankfully, Cui Wenyan was a good person; otherwise, a few lashes would be the end of all of them.
Bai Yue watched Cui Wenyan with eyes shining a bit.
The vengeful spirit was already being driven to dodge here and there by Cui Wenyan, filled with anger. How could those foolish humans have sent a Ghost Hunter as an offering?
