"Unlucky ghost?"
Yu Shanhe couldn't make out the true face of the dark shadow, but Niannian could.
In her eyes, what jumped out of Yan Li's body wasn't some dark shadow.
It was a ghost with a green face and ferocious fangs, wearing tattered clothes.
This ghost exuded an ominous aura all over.
Just one glance would make one feel a sense of disgust.
The sword strike just now hadn't completely scattered the soul of the unlucky ghost.
Niannian had left some leeway, only making him extremely weak.
Just now, when the unlucky ghost was at his most powerful, the yin energy and magnetic field fluctuations on his body were strong enough to affect the living.
So even though Yu Shanhe was an ordinary person, he could see a dark shadow.
Now that the ghost had become weak, Yu Shanhe couldn't see anything.
Yan Li fell to the ground, still twitching uncontrollably due to the backlash. She was unconscious, but there was no danger to her life.
Niannian pointed the peach - wood sword at the ground. She had an air of looking down on everyone and ruling the world.
In a tone extremely inconsistent with her loli appearance, she asked, "Tell me, why did you try to harm my dad!"
The unlucky ghost was quite tall, but now his tall body was curled up. The tip of the peach - wood sword was pressing against his throat, making him tremble uncontrollably.
Ghosts were most afraid of righteousness.
This little girl in front of him, despite her young age, was full of righteousness.
He didn't know what big shot this child was in her previous life. She was shining with golden light all over, and the light of merit was almost blinding his ghost eyes.
When faced with such a person, not to mention a low - level fierce ghost like him, even a great fierce ghost at the level of a ghost general would probably avoid her.
"I... I didn't want to harm anyone. I was just parasitizing in that woman's body."
The unlucky ghost stammered in reply, quietly observing the surroundings, trying to find a way to escape.
But after careful observation for a while, he despairingly found that with his own ability, there was no chance at all to escape from this little baby.
"You're lying to a kid! You're an unlucky ghost. Master said that ghosts like you have the worst intentions. You're the kind of ghost that actively harms people."
"Quickly tell me! Why did you try to harm my dad?"
Niannian pouted her little mouth and didn't believe the unlucky ghost's words at all.
This kind of ghost bullied the weak and feared the strong, was timid and inferior, and had a particularly bad heart.
Bringing bad luck to others actually brought no benefits to the unlucky ghost itself.
But this kind of ghost would still look for living people everywhere to target.
Master said that this kind of ghost was the most annoying both in the ghost world and in the human world.
They harmed others completely to their own detriment.
They simply had the mentality that as long as you were unhappy, they would feel especially comfortable.
"I... I..."
The unlucky ghost stammered for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Niannian tilted her head and recalled the truth taught to her by her third senior brother.
Even ghosts had rights.
They could remain silent, and she had to respect every ghost's choice.
In this situation, if she couldn't get any answers, there was no need to ask anymore, let alone persuade.
As a kind and smart child, she had to understand other ghosts.
In this situation, she didn't need to say more.
Respect, understand, and slay.
That was what she should do.
"I understand. Do you not want to say anything?"
Niannian blinked her eyes, wanting to confirm the unlucky ghost's thoughts.
"I... If I don't want to say, can I choose not to?"
Maybe because Niannian's tone was no longer as cold and hard as before.
The unlucky ghost actually thought there was room for negotiation and even started to bargain.
"Of course you can!"
Niannian nodded heavily.
Her voice became softer and sweeter, and her tone became more and more gentle.
The unlucky ghost's eyes rolled around, thinking to himself.
After all, a child was just a child.
So what if she had great skills?
Maybe if he fooled her a little more, he could just slip away.
But what the unlucky ghost didn't know was that the reason Niannian showed a smiling face was entirely because of the teachings of her third senior brother.
The third senior brother said that one should smile and be gentle.
One should let the ghosts on the verge of death feel the last bit of warmth in the world before their souls were scattered.
That was what a kind and good child should do.
So, with a cute and innocent smile like a little sun on her face, Niannian resolutely raised the peach - wood sword.
She didn't hold back at all and slashed down at the unlucky ghost.
Unlucky ghost: ???
Unlucky ghost: Oh no! A ghost is about to die!
He never expected that the soft and cute little girl would strike so mercilessly without hesitation.
She didn't give him any chance at all.
Now when he saw Niannian's smiling face, how could he still think she was soft and easy to bully?
He only felt that no evil ghost in the world was as terrifying as this child.
It was just like seeing a crazy serial killer in a movie who killed with a smile on his face.
He almost exhausted his last bit of strength to dodge Niannian's sword.
Niannian wasn't discouraged when she missed with the first strike.
She raised her hand and was about to attack again.
With the threat of having his soul scattered right in front of him, the unlucky ghost no longer stammered like before.
His soul drifted wildly as he dodged, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Heroine, spare my life! Give me another chance! I'll talk. This time I'll tell you everything!"
"Hmm?"
Niannian stopped what she was doing and gave the unlucky ghost a strange look.
But when she heard that he was going to talk.
Niannian didn't continue to chase and kill him.
"Unlucky ghost uncle who goes back on his word, what do you want to say?"
"I really didn't mean to harm your dad. A man told me that as long as I followed that woman and parasitized in her body, I could quickly transfer the bad luck out, and then I could be reincarnated..."
The unlucky ghost shivered and spilled out everything he knew.
He was originally just a lonely wandering ghost in a remote mountain village.
Because of the special nature of his ghost body, other ghosts would avoid him, ghost messengers would spit at the sight of him, and people would never get close to the place where he was due to their instinct to avoid bad luck.
He just wandered alone in this world.
Until one day, a man in a black robe with an indistinguishable face came to him.
Unlucky ghosts had to wait until the bad luck on them dissipated before they could be reincarnated.
That man told him that as long as he followed him, he had a way to help the unlucky ghost dissipate the bad luck earlier.
Maybe he could even steal some luck and be reincarnated into a wealthy family in the next life.
He was extremely tempted.
Then he happily followed the man.
Then he was sealed in Yan Li's body by the black - robed man.
He didn't need to do anything, just follow Yan Li.
As the black - robed man had said, as long as he followed Yan Li to and from work every day, the bad luck on him would dissipate a little bit every day.
In two years, most of his bad luck had dissipated.
If he hadn't been exposed by Niannian today and forced out of Yan Li's body.
Maybe in another year or two, he could completely dissipate the bad luck.
This was all the information the unlucky ghost knew.
During his contact with the black - robed man, he had never seen the man's true face.
He didn't know any information about the black - robed man at all.
After saying all this, the unlucky ghost looked at Niannian with a pitiful look in his eyes.
It seemed as if he was about to cry the next second.
"Heroine, I've told you everything. Can you let me go?"
Niannian blinked her eyes in confusion. Facing the unlucky ghost with a green face and fangs pretending to be pitiful, she didn't feel the slightest bit of pity.
"Huh? Did I say I was going to let you go?"
After saying that, Niannian took out a gourd from her small satchel.
She waved her hand, and the unlucky ghost uncontrollably floated towards the gourd.
In an instant, he was taken into the gourd.
The unlucky ghost who was suddenly taken in: ???
This child must be a devil, right?
She must be!
