"Bring over my Buddha statue!"
Princess Zhaohua glared resentfully at Yu Nianzhao, who refused to act, and soon someone brought over the glittering Buddha statue.
The illuminated Buddha statue approached Tang Jing, and the female ghost on him emitted a painful scream.
"As women, you dare to scatter our souls, I’m fighting against someone like you who disregards others’ lives,"
The faces of the two female ghosts turned ferocious. Using Tang Jing’s body, they disregarded their souls scattering, broke the Buddha statue, and seized Princess Zhaohua. They snarled, "He deceived us first, coaxed us into having children, then snatched the children and abandoned us. Do you think he truly loves you? He covets your royal identity, your wealth!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Princess Zhaohua pounded his arm and said with difficulty, "Quick, save me..."
A guard rushed up and kicked Tang Jing away; the sword was about to slice across his neck.
"Stop! Don’t kill him!"
Princess Zhaohua shouted hoarsely.
"Hahahahaha, truly a lovesick princess, even a stand-in must be protected so thoroughly."
The female ghost emitted a haunting laugh and a mocking smile, "Then I’ll make you taste what it’s like to be denied!"
Tang Jing gave a bizarre grin and lunged toward the sword. Blood sprayed forth, and the next moment, he widened his eyes, dying at the feet of Princess Zhaohua.
Princess Zhaohua screamed piercingly.
A wisp of evil spirit floated out of Tang Jing’s body, and thick resentment filled the room.
The eerie ghostly aura blasted away the guards.
Princess Zhaohua trembled as she watched Tang Jing become an evil ghost, his ferocious smile splitting his face, each hand clutching a female ghost’s soul.
The two female ghosts who were just causing torment are now stuck, unable to move under Tang Jing’s grasp.
"Heh... Feeling proud, aren’t you? Weren’t you going to kill me? Hahahahaha, now it’s my turn to counterattack, being a ghost after death isn’t so bad, at least I can eat all of you."
Tang Jing’s crimson eyes glowed with a fierce light, about to devour the two female ghosts.
A sigh, a talisman flew over.
The golden incantation collided with Tang Jing’s soul, burning him, causing him to scream and instinctively release the female ghosts in his grip.
After escaping, the female ghosts flew behind Yu Nianzhao, shivering.
"Master, after becoming a ghost, his power exceeds ours."
"Yes, Master, we have no ability to fight back anymore."
The two female ghosts felt extremely aggrieved, although they killed their murderer, they felt no sense of revenge.
"His hands are stained with many lives; his soul is tainted with dense Evil Qi, he’s an evil soul. The red light emanating from him naturally surpasses your blue light."
Yu Nianzhao brushed his hair lightly and said calmly, "And I’m here to collect evil souls!"
"Who, who are you really?"
Driven by pain, Tang Jing stared fearfully at Yu Nianzhao, wishing to flee immediately.
"I’m King Yan, here to claim your life!"
Yu Nianzhao walked over slowly, looking down at him, "I’ll take your evil soul!"
"Newly born evil soul, insignificant! Jiu, eat it!"
A carefree voice sounded, and Jiu Ying’s shadow emerged from behind her.
The massive shadow extended nine heads, the oppressive aura causing Tang Jing to tremble like a sieve, incredulous, "What... What is this? What do you want to do to me? Haven’t you already killed me? Don’t be greedy, I beg of you."
"Tsk, the greedy one is you!" Yu Nianzhao despised him, "Let me see, how many people has this shameless scoundrel killed, oh—seven entire lives, you don’t deserve to be human, I judge you—to scatter your soul, never to reincarnate!"
Jiu Ying emitted a low growl, its nine heads competing for the food, devouring Tang Jing’s evil soul.
Princess Zhaohua saw Jiu Ying’s shadow faintly, terrified by his invisible pressure, she screamed and fell backward, caught in time by Xia Muyan.
[The taste of evil souls is quite rich, though there’s always a sour stench in the soul.]
[If it could be washed before eating, it would be perfect.]
[If washed, they wouldn’t be evil souls anymore!]
[There’s still quite a distance to go to collect enough evil souls.]
"Yu Nianzhao, you’re not human, aren’t you?"
The princess’s legs weakened, she sat on the ground, staring at Yu Nianzhao in horror, her eyes showing madness, "You’re the biggest ghost, you killed my consort, give him back!"
"Gone mad?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꜰire.net
Yu Nianzhao raised her eyebrows, watching her cry and laugh simultaneously, "Her mental endurance is really weak, not worth it for a scumbag."
"No, it shouldn’t be !"
Princess Zhaohua held her head, unable to bear the pain, screamed, "Yu Nianzhao, you ruined my harmonious home!"
"Have you gone mad with envy? Lying beside Tang Jing every day, influenced by the ghosts following him, clouding your judgment? You could buy a Clear Heart Talisman from me, price negotiable separately."
Yu Nianzhao noticed traces of ghostly aura emerging from Princess Zhaohua, "But I haven’t drawn the talisman yet, if you want to buy it, send Silver later."
Yu Nianzhao yawned, "Nothing else? I’m leaving!"
Princess Zhaohua had blood in her eyes, "Without my order, no one can leave. Family disgrace must not be exposed, Yu Nianzhao will stay in the princess’s residence!"
Hidden Guards blocked Yu Nianzhao’s way and surrounded her.
"Really repay kindness with enmity?"
A cold glint flashed in Yu Nianzhao’s eyes, "Do you think these guards can stop me from leaving?"
"Mother, don’t be reckless, Yu Nianzhao was invited by you, Tang Jing deserved death, wake up."
Xia Muyan quickly said, "Miss Yu, can you draw the Clear Heart Talisman on the spot? I can buy it from you."
Princess Zhaohua pushed Xia Muyan aside, angrily, "I don’t need a Clear Heart Talisman, I’m fine! She killed my consort, she’s the one who should die, capture her for me!"
Before Yu Nianzhao could counter, the courtyard door was kicked open.
Xie Jiuxiao’s tall figure stood at the door, his gloomy gaze first swept over Yu Nianzhao, then bore down on Princess Zhaohua, "You really grow more reckless, daring to hide my wife and wish her dead?"
Xie Jiuxiao strode forward, his royal dignity and killing intent causing Hidden Guards to tremble with fear, so much so they could barely hold their swords.
