Chapter 19

“Ah!”

Nian Nuer gave a horrible shriek and went back into the wardrobe .

“You don’t like me, brother?” Nian Nuer asked, turning back into a cute little girl . She looked cute and innocent again .

Mu Yi was stupefied but put his hand on the evil spirit slaying charm .

“Bzzz!”

Mu Yi hesitated but was interrupted as a loud sound spread in the air behind him . He hastily turned around as he saw a white halo around Su Jinlun and a black shadow moving back at full speed .

It was a woman with long hair . She seemed to be around twenty years old . She was wearing a white dress and looked beautiful but emotionless .

Her eyes were two black holes, which looked very scary .

By the time Mu Yi turned around, Nian Nuer had already moved next to the woman and held her hand . The woman looked at the little girl with a look of love on her face .

Mu Yi immediately understood, and he wasn’t angry at Nian Nuer anymore .

Poor woman . She escaped with her lover, and nobody knew what had happened after that . She had come back with a sick baby . However, nobody had been able to help, and she killed herself in the end .

People who had sad lives refused to reincarnate . That woman didn’t want to reincarnate because she wanted to take care of her daughter .

Mu Yi remembered what Su Chongshan had told him . Back when Nian Nuer died, the woman had buried her in the courtyard, but Mu Yi hadn’t noticed any grave there . Maybe, she had buried the little girl in the bamboo forest .

The bamboo forest had grown and was evergreen .

Now that Mu Yi looked at the woman, who had lost her mental abilities, and the little girl, who understood nothing, he felt extremely sad . The mother and daughter reminded him of the old Taoist Priest and him . Even though the old man was his teacher, he was also like a father to him .

When the old man died, Mu Yi had felt extremely saddened, so he could imagine what it was like to lose a close family member . Besides, the woman was even sadder because she also felt guilty .

Su Yingying and Su Jinlun were blankly staring at the two ghosts, and they could finally see them . They could guess who they were, but they were still terrified .

“Go and reincarnate . If you continue like this, your soul will disperse someday,” Mu Yi said to the woman . She had lost her mental abilities, so she didn’t understand what he meant .

So when the woman heard him, she only stared blankly at him . After that, she looked at Nian Nuer and suddenly went insane as she threw herself at Mu Yi .

“Slash!”

Mu Yi frowned and shook his right hand . His evil spirit slaying charm turned into a white light that moved towards the woman at full speed .

It was the first time Mu Yi had used the evil spirit slaying charm . He made no mistakes and looked experienced with its use .

When Mu Yi threw the evil spirit slaying charm, he sensed that a little bit of his mental strength had been depleted .

Charms also had their limits . He needed strength to use them . If he was exhausted and had no mental strength to use, then he wouldn’t be able to use any more charms .

He didn’t let the woman dodge or escape . Instead, he immediately attacked her chest with the charm .

The evil spirit slaying charm was different from a protection spell such as the body protection charm . The evil spirit slaying charm was explosive, and its purpose was to kill . Mu Yi wasn’t extremely strong, but the woman was still propelled away . She looked like she was in pain .

Even though Nian Nuer didn’t understand much, when she saw her mother like that, she immediately transformed into her green-faced and long-toothed form again and threw herself at Mu Yi at full speed .

Mu Yi didn’t want to injure her, so he used a body protection charm, and when she arrived near him, she was propelled away but wasn’t injured .

After a few moves, Nian Nuer didn’t try to attack Mu Yi again . She threw herself at Su Jinlun instead .

“The Blade!” Mu Yi shouted . He couldn’t let Nian Nuer injure Su Jinlun because his evil spirit slaying charm had limits . Luckily, he wasn’t far from the siblings, so he could easily shout warnings in case they were in any danger .

When Su Jinlun heard Mu Yi, he reacted quickly . He unconsciously raised the big blade towards Nian Nuer .

The blade had been used by an experienced warrior in hundreds of battles . It had caused lots of blood flow, and this characteristic made it very efficient against ghosts . Ghosts didn’t dare to get close to such blades .

Su Jinlun wasn’t as strong as the warrior who had used the blade, but it was enough to threaten Nian Nuer, making her move far away . However, she suddenly turned around and looked at Su Yingying .

At that crucial moment, Su Yingying didn’t react as well as Su Jinlun had . When Nian Nuer threw herself at her, she didn’t move at all . Instead, she just stared fixedly at her .

Mu Yi had given her a body protection charm, so when Nian Nuer got close to her, the body protection charm activated by itself .

White lights surrounded Su Yingying .

By this time, Mu Yi had moved towards the siblings at full speed and raised his copper lamp .

Consequently, as Mu Yi tried to control some of his mental strength into the copper lamp, the small flame suddenly grew to a gigantic size .

The woman had no time to react . The light illuminated her body, and instantly her body started burning . She shrieked horribly and moved back with all her power .

Nian Nuer had already seen how powerful the copper lamp was, so she was already very far away .

“Are you alright?” Mu Yi asked Su Yingying and Su Jinlun, who were staring at Nian Nuer and the woman .

When Su Yingying heard him, she came back to her senses and said in a weak voice, “I-I’m alright . ”

“I’m alright too,” Su Jinlun said, glancing at his sister .

Mu Yi regretted letting Su Yingying come . It was too late though, and he had to find a solution quickly .
