I examined my body but found no visible abnormalities. Why was it hurting so much?
“Xiao Yin, what exactly is wrong with me?!” I rolled on the bed in pain.
“Other than the demonic energy that was previously stored in your body, there doesn’t seem to be anything different... Xi Meng, does it hurt a lot? Should I summon it back?” Xiao Yin asked, looking troubled.
“No, absolutely not!” I clutched the bedsheet tightly, almost tearing it apart with how wrinkled it had become.
This matter must not be known to the prisoner; otherwise, Yue and everyone else would be in immediate danger, and I would never be able to return to the Underworld.
Could it really be that the pill was the problem?
...That’s impossible; how could that old man harm me?
“Hey? Xi Meng, maybe this is a good thing!” Xiao Yin suddenly said.
“A good thing?” I was in excruciating pain, and she said it was a good thing?!
“Have you noticed? The demonic energy in your body is weakening!” Xiao Yin said excitedly.
I endured the pain and calmed down...
Xiao Yin was right; the demonic energy was indeed decreasing!
Finally exhaling, I realized I hadn’t misjudged her. However, I still couldn’t understand, “Then why does it hurt so much?”
“The Witch Clan excels at using curses; there are probably quite a few little bugs inside you right now, devouring that demonic energy.”
Xiao Yin said something that seemed reasonable, "Neither of us can see the Gu Worm, which shouldn't be the case."
"Ha, you underestimate the Witch Clan. Although they appear human, they possess spiritual roots. In ancient times, the Witch Clan was definitely a race that the three realms would not dare to overlook. Unfortunately, this Curse is always too cruel, harming both others and oneself."
"Gu Worms can be both beneficial and harmful; everything has its counter. If used properly, they can indeed save lives. Moreover, once the Gu Worm enters the body, it merges swiftly into the blood cells, making it difficult to detect if one is not aware beforehand."
"So you're saying that there are Gu Worms in my body clearing away the demonic energy?"
"Exactly!"
"That's disgusting." Thinking about the Gu Worm materials that Little Bird had seen before—those repulsive worms made me shudder.
"Rest well; I'll protect you. Take a nap, and maybe when you wake up, everything will be fine," Xiao Yin said.
Xiao Yin emitted a faint aura of purity, soothing the turbulent war within me... It had been a long time since I had slept so soundly.
...
"Ah—" I stretched and got up; I really had slept deeply.
As I groggily opened my eyes, I exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! Why is it so dark outside?!" I shouted, realizing I had slept through the entire day and missed school?!
"Miss, how are you feeling?" Shishi asked as soon as she saw me awake, rushing to my bedside.
"I'm fine! But I can't believe I missed school?!"
"I saw you sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to wake you. Uncle and Auntie went out in the morning and haven't returned yet," Shishi replied with a look of grievance. It wasn't her fault; how could a child from the human realm know that schools and teachers here are nothing like those in the underworld?
"Forget it; high school life is almost over anyway."
"Miss, do you prefer life in the human world or the underworld?" Shishi asked.
"Why do you suddenly ask this?"
No matter how long I stay in the underworld, I cannot deny that I am human. If it were before, I would have answered without hesitation that I prefer the human world; life there is much more relaxed and enjoyable, vibrant, with a sense of existence... However, now there are people I care about there.
"Miss?" Shishi called out.
"Hehe, I'm not telling you." I smiled as I got out of bed and walked to the window to gaze at the bright moon in the sky.
Moon, how I miss you.
...
"Strange, it seems like I can't sense Kurozawa's presence tonight?" The four of them walked along the empty street again.
"Hmph, he must have suffered these past two times," Shishi scoffed. "On the night the miss was injured, Kurozawa must have been hurt badly too. And on the second night, he even dared to borrow a Corpse Demon from the Demon Lord; that's just asking for trouble."
Sigh, can Kurozawa really not hold back?
It's important to know that parasites are inherently at a disadvantage and could be consumed by Parasite at any moment. What is he doing this for? Why would he willingly expose his soul and obey an ugly demon?
"If Kurozawa could hold back, I certainly wouldn't hurt him again," I sighed lightly into the breeze.
"Kurozawa is indeed hard to figure out," Shishi said.
That's right. If the first night at school was a coincidence, then how do we explain last night? He truly saved me when he could have completely gotten rid of me.
"But I still don't believe Kurozawa has such good intentions; he must be plotting something else," Shishi firmly denied.
"Maybe you are right. He said he wanted me to suffer and die, but a simple death wouldn't satisfy him..."
"Miss, we will not let him harm you again," Shi said firmly.
"Everything depends on fate. It's okay," I shook my head and smiled.
"Rumble, rumble—" At that moment, it started to rain lightly.
None of us were wet at all; if this were during the day, it would surely frighten many people.
Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed, sounding as if it were on the brink of collapse.
"Ah, just let me go, let me go!"
The voice was very close, probably not far away.
I looked up and saw a two-story house nearby, which appeared quite luxurious compared to the other somewhat dilapidated bungalows.
A man in his forties or fifties stood at the second-floor window, shirtless with a large beer belly, one leg already hanging out of the window.
The rain intensified, soaking the man completely, water dripping from his hair.
This small building was set apart from the surrounding houses, and the heavy rain came just in time; the man's agonized screams did not disturb anyone nearby.
What is that smell?
I inhaled deeply and was hit by an extremely strong smell of blood mixed with something putrid.
"Ah, ah, ah—" A faint breathing sound came from behind me, slowly approaching. I was already aware; they were coming!
Turning my head, oh my god, another scare!
The woman wore a bright red bodycon skirt, her pale skin contrasting sharply with her long black hair that covered her face, obscuring her features.
She crawled toward the two-story house, leaving a trail of blood behind her, along with internal organs scattered on the ground.
The female ghost crawled beside me and slightly lifted her head to look at me, baring her sharp teeth in a fierce grin. At that moment, "thud," her right eye fell to the ground.
…I felt like vomiting, not for any other reason, but because this female ghost was truly horrifying; her features were twisted as if she had been in a car accident, her face completely mangled.
"Miss," Zhi protected me by his side, frowning as if he also found it hard to look at.
"N-nothing," my mind was filled with that ghost's gaze, warning me not to interfere.
Looking at the ground covered in blood and internal organs, along with the fallen eye, my stomach churned again, and I froze in disgust without taking action.
"I beg you, stop haunting me. Please, please," the man seemed exhausted from his earlier screams, weakly standing by the bed, half leaning against the window frame as he pleaded desperately.
The female ghost sneered and had now climbed up the wall of the small building.
"Let me go. I'm about to die; please don't haunt me anymore." The man closed his eyes and painfully stepped forward with one leg, determined to jump down.
At this height… he wouldn't die.
"Dong," I called out.
Dong immediately understood my intention and revealed his massive tail, catching the man and placing him not far from us.
The man trembled and opened his eyes, realizing he was still alive. Looking at our group, he suddenly understood and crawled over, crying out, "Divine Being, help me! Help me!"
I looked at the man who was tightly gripping my pant leg with displeasure and blew him back in one breath.
The man was momentarily stunned, but he immediately crawled back with all his might. Just as he reached out, he was stopped by my cold gaze.
For some reason, I felt an impulse to not want to save him for the first time. Perhaps those three felt the same way as I did...
The female ghost noticed the man's movement and swiftly crawled down the stairs, charging toward us!
"First, trap her," I suggested to my companion.
This woman must have died a tragic death for a reason.
"Bind!" my companion said lightly, and the female ghost was trapped within a barrier, banging against it forcefully.
"What’s going on?" I asked the man.
"It’s that Faceless Ghost that has been haunting me. She clearly died two years ago, but she suddenly appeared again the day before yesterday and hasn’t let me go!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he stood up with a fierce look in his eyes.
"What is your relationship with her?" my companion asked.
"…She is my Ex-Wife." The man hesitated to speak, but it was clear he felt guilty when he said this.
"You are her husband?" I approached the female ghost.
"Kill, kill, kill him!" The female ghost was also very agitated, trembling all over.
"Bold ghost! Ignoring the laws of the three realms and selfishly escaping to harm the human world!" I exclaimed angrily.
"Woo woo woo, woo woo woo." The female ghost could not articulate her words and shook her head desperately.
“Divine Being, hurry, hurry, kill her!” the man shouted from behind.
“She was once your wife. Although she is no longer human, why are you so cruel?” I asked in confusion.
Is it merely out of human fear of ghosts?
But this is his wife...
“Oh dear, it seems I've missed quite a show again?”
My heart sank; that voice—so familiar.
“Are you trying to intervene again?” I asked quietly.
“Exactly, seeing you anxious brings me the greatest joy,” Kurozawa replied playfully.
I looked up at him. Although Kurozawa had always appeared pale before, now he looked terrifyingly ashen, clearly in poor condition.
“Since your body hasn't recovered, you shouldn't be out causing trouble,” I scoffed.
“…What, are you concerned about me?” came the teasing voice.
“I just don’t want our grudges to involve the innocent.”
“Heh, but I like it!” Kurozawa suddenly turned serious and shouted, “Little ghost, I’ll help you out.”
A beam of black light struck the barrier. “Bang!” The barrier shattered instantly.
The female ghost regained her freedom and looked at our group with fierce eyes.
"Whoosh—" Kurozawa gently blew, and a black petal floated across the night sky, landing steadily on the goddess.
The female ghost was momentarily stunned, then looked in amazement as her body gradually healed. She trembled as she touched her face, her features returning to their original form. Slowly, she rose, a smile spreading across her face.
Of course, it wasn't long before she continued to glare at us with resentment.
"Get away from me! This is my grudge with that filthy man!" the female ghost shouted.
"I'm sorry, but protecting humanity is my duty," I replied.
The female ghost laughed heartily, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, not closing her mouth for a long time.
"Protecting humanity?! Then why didn't you protect me? I was killed by someone and turned into a wild ghost, and you say you want to protect the scum who caused my death?!"
"You keep talking about the development of the three realms; you're just aiding and abetting evil! Is there no justice left?!" the female ghost continued to shout.
If what she said was true, then this man behind me had personally caused his wife's death. So... sigh, for a moment, I found myself at a loss for words.
"Hahahaha, Xi Meng, I didn't expect your great righteousness to have its flaws. What a show, truly a great show!"
