When Wei Xun first got the Gu egg from Miao Fangfei, he had thought that this thing might be useful when he needed to open the Flying Fox Mountain Forest scenic spot. However, whether it was the ordinary zombified flying foxes, the zombified flying fox left commander, or the zombified flying fox king, these foxes were all adults.
This white Gu egg had a low probability of success, and would turn into a scrap product immediately when used on an adult flying fox. Therefore, Wei Xun had not used it. He had wondered if this thing could be used on a ghost baby. After all, ghost babies were very cute, and he felt that it would be good to raise a little ghost.
But first, the ghost babies were not very fierce. Second, if this Gu egg had failed to capture the little ghost, it may have had a great impact on the young body of the ghost baby. The ghost babies were good children after all, and Wei Xun really liked them. Besides, Wei Xun was not sick in the mind, and he didnât want to harm the ghost babies.
But when he had killed the zombified flying fox king, a new status [Incubation] had appeared in his personal information page, and Wei Xun had thought, âHeh, the chance to use it has come.â
This status could be used to provide unexpected danger for the tourists and become the key to unlocking the last boss of the Flying Fox Mountain Forest scenic spot, and was obviously more dangerous than the zombified flying fox king.
It would definitely be suitable for the role, just based on its ferocity.
And [Incubation] represented that it was a young cub.
Nothing could be younger in age than something that had just hatched.
As for the remnant soul of Ah Long in the young cubââWei Xun had a flying fox statue in his left hand and a young foxâs consciousness in his right hand. He was truly not afraid of Ah Longâs remnant soul.
âJust wait, baby. Look at how your master will give you a new body and get you a big meal,â Wei Xun said, acting like a very good master.
His words moved the baby fox to tears. Even though the fox was cunning, it was young after all and had recognized Wei Xun as its master, so it would not think that Wei Xun had bad intentions. Wei Xun said, âSigh, unfortunately, the success rate is too low. I shouldnât tell you this in advance in case I fail to capture your food. In case I fail, you would have rejoiced too soon.â
Immediately, the young fox wagged its tail and promised happily, âMaster, donât worry, I-Iâll help you!â
In fact, the fox was helping itself. The young fox also wanted a new body. It cunningly thought that it was helping itself this time⊠Ah, no, it was helping its master. Its master would certainly treat it better in the future.
Of course he was âhelpingâ the young fox, Wei Xun thought with a smile. With the help of the young fox, it would be easier for him to subjugate the flying fox. After the young foxâs consciousness had moved into the newly hatched flying fox, he would have contracted both the young foxâs soul and the newly hatched flying fox body. Coupled with the third insurance, the flying fox statue, even if Yu Hehui woke up, Yu Hehui would still belong to him.
As for the flying fox, it was actually a nickname for red and white giant flying squirrels. The newly hatched flying fox was actually not a fox, but Wei Xun didnât tell the young fox this.
Up until now, the young fox still naively thought that flying foxes were big foxes with beautiful wings.
After all, the quality of the white Gu egg was too low. Even if Wei Xun forced the newly hatched flying fox to swallow it when it had just hatched, it would still be difficult to subjugate the newly hatched flying fox. In addition, Ah Longâs remnant soul was present in the newly hatched flying fox. It would not purely be a beast. It could be said that Wei Xun would never be able to subjugate it this time without the help of the young fox.
Although the young fox could crush Ah Long based on the difference in their strength, the young foxâs soul was damaged. It didnât have a corporeal body, and it didnât have much energy remaining. Up until this point, it had barely sustained its lifeform by relying on the old ginseng that was as thin as a strand of hair. However, this energy would dissipate over time. Furthermore, they needed some time if they wanted to defeat Ah Long.
While Ah Longâs remnant soul fought the young foxâs consciousness. Wei Xunâs consciousness was temporarily asleep, so âAh Chengâ never woke up from his coma.
It was 8:15, but Ah Cheng was still sleeping and âAh Longâs consciousnessâ had not woken up. Fangfang, who was already in an unstable mood, immediately became crazier upon seeing this. She wanted to rush over to her lover like a lunatic and wake him up. She called out to âAh Longâ again and again, like a cuckoo crying blood. Seeing that the situation was stuck in an impasse, Miao Fangfei winked at Zhao Hongtu.
Zhao Hongtu and Lin Xi grabbed Fangfang to restrict her movements, and Miao Fangfei went over to Pingping. She felt more empathetic to Pingpingâs situation, possibly because she had been possessed by a ghost in the second scenic spot. Even though Miao Fangfei knew Pingping was a spiteful ghost, Miao Fangfeiâs heart couldnât bear it when she saw Pingping looking at Ah Cheng in a trance. There seemed to be tears in her eyes. Miao Fangfei whispered, âThis is actually a good thing.â
âA good thing?â
Pingping repeated, her voice trembling, her tone full of despair, âHow can this be a good thing.â
âThis shows that from the beginning to the end, Ah Cheng has always loved you.â
Miao Fangfei said, âThe entanglement between him and Fangfang was influenced by Ah Longâs remnant soul, and he did not want to give the bracelet to Fangfang.â
âThe person he really loves is you.â
âYes, Ah Cheng loves me.â
Pingping smiled and stroked Ah Chengâs cheek, her head lowered. Miao Fangfei couldnât see Pingpingâs expression. She only heard her whisper in a hoarse voice, âI should believe him, but I donât know.â
Her voice was so soft that only Miao Fangfei, who was standing closest to her, could hear her words. She immediately understood that the Pingping in the past hadnât understoodwhat had happened. However, the current Pingping did understand!
Drip.
A drop of scarlet blood fell on Ah Chengâs face, and Miao Fangfeiâs pupils shrank suddenly. At this moment, her scalp went numb. Their surroundings were filled with a terrifying anger and madness, all emanating from a drop of blood! This was the power of a spiteful ghostâs bloody tears!
Not everyone who died wearing red could become a spiteful ghost. Not all spiteful ghosts could shed bloody tears. Among spiteful ghosts, the strength of the spiteful ghost Pingping was definitely at the peak!
âHaha, haha, what are you delusional over? Pingping, what are you thinking?â
Fangfang looked like a crazy devil, smiling as she hissed, âAh Cheng canât come back, he wonât come back! He will be Ah Long in the future, do you understand? When Ah Long had begun to grow weak, the village head had begun this plan, and you donât even know anything. Itâs been too long. Too much time has passed. Therefore, by now, they should have already become one. Do you understand!â
Zhao Hongtu noticed something glittering on Fangfangâs face. In an instant, he was on alert. He thought that there was something different about her, but found that it was just tears. A paper figure could actually shed tears? But before Zhao Hongtu could react, Fangfangâs body suddenly softened and collapsed.
As if her soul was pulled out, she had become a real paper figure. He went to look at Fangfangâs face again, and found that there were only a few simple horizontal and vertical lines on it. There was no bright and beautiful face. Once her soul was pulled out, it was just a ragged paper figure.
Zhao Hongtu looked towards Pingping in a daze. She raised her head, appearing depressed, though her expression was tinged with madness and apathy. She only clenched her fist towards Fangfang, and the soul of the paper figure was torn away.
At this moment, after being angered, she ended the farce and decided to stop acting as Pingping of the past.
[Paper figure Fangfangâs branch task has concluded. Due to your low participation rate, you canât obtain rewards other than âPaper Figure Fangfangâs Secretâ]
[Paper figure Fangfangâs Secret:
[Throughout the generations, Fangfangâs family had been cultivated as the great witches of Cordoned-off Village. When Ah Long was born, the witch doctor had diagnosed that his mother had hurt her body and she would not have other children in the future. Therefore, the village head of Cordoned-off Village had arranged a betrothal in advance for Ah Long with the child of the great witch family. The great witch family had been chosen because they were genetically more closely related, as compared to other families. Fangfang had been four years old that year. But seven years later, Ah Longâs mother gave birth to a girl, Pingping. Then, she died due to blood loss.]
[The village head didnât like Fangfang. Fangfang didnât like Pingping, and she only liked Ah Long. When Ah Long was 12 years old, he became weaker and weaker. Fangfang was anxious. She wanted to go to the most dangerous mountain stream to collect legendary herbal medicine for Ah Long. Because she was worried about Ah Long, Fangfang used a secret method passed down in the great witch family to put a Gu on Ah Long. From then on, she would always know about Ah Longâs situation. Afterwards, by a mere coincidence, Fangfang learned a huge secret from the Gu]
[Ah Long didnât have long to live. The village head had chosen Ah Cheng, who was born in the same year, month, and day as Ah Long, and had the most similar lifestyle to him in the village, hoping that Ah Long could be revived using Ah Chengâs body. Fangfang was in turmoil, and she fell down the cliff, breaking her leg while collecting medicine. The great witch found her and took Fangfang back for treatment. Fangfang was then forbidden to go out. The Gu she had put on Ah Long was also discovered]
[Their engagement ended. Ah Long later died, Pingping fell in love with Ah Cheng, and everyone was very happy]
[But Fangfang was in pain]
[Who would be attracted to the person betrothed to them since they were young? Fangfang was a silly woman]
It turned out that Fangfang had such a tortuous relationship with Ah Long!
Wang Pengpai, who hurried to Ah Chengâs house with Hou Feihu, rubbed his right index finger and thumb together. Just now, the Travel Services prompted him [Paper figure Fangfangâs branch task has concluded]. Wang Pengpai also got an additional prompt, saying that he had the highest completion of this branch task. He had obtained 500 points and a drop of [Fangfangâs Tears].
[Name: Fangfangâs Tears]
[Quality: Special]
[Function: Put Fangfangâs tears into water, and the creatures who drink this glass of water will fall madly in love with you (Time limit: 27 seconds)]
[Note: The love one fantasizes about may be false, but the feelings in these tears are always true. Fangfangâs 27 years of love has been morphed into these tears]
âLetâs go quickly. Something has happened to them!â
With a flip of his hand, Wang Pengpai put away the tears. Both Wang Pengpai and Hou Feihu sped up. They were able to rush out from the siege of the huge number of crazy paper people in Cordoned-off Village because of âluck,â but it was actually because of how strong Wang Pengpai was. But in order not to attract attention, he had covered himself with dirty paper scraps and blood, and appeared to cut a more sorry figure than Hou Feihu.
However, when they hurried to the maple tree behind Ah Chengâs house where Pingping and Ah Cheng had agreed to meet up to elope together, they found that the situation was worse than they had expected. Miao Fangfei and the othersâ faces were pale and they were gasping for breath. It appeared that Yin Energy had rushed into their bodies, and they cut a more sorry state than Wang Pengpai.
Hou Feihu looked at Zhao Hongtu and saw that he was out of strength. He saw Zhao Hongtu kneeling on the ground, and his whole body was trembling. Hou Feihuâs heart tightened, but he did not rashly go to help Zhao Hongtu, and instead resolutely pulled out his gun and aimed at Pingping! On the other side, Wang Pengpai first swept a glance over Pingping. At the present, she was the only âpersonâ still standing. Miao Fangfei and the others had all collapsed, drained of strength.
âThis spiteful ghost is nuts.â
Wang Pengpai grew serious and put his hand in his pockets, as if he was groping for something. Pingping stood alone with Ah Cheng in her arms. She raised her head and opened her mouth as if she were silently questioning the sky, and two lines of bloody tears flowed down her pale cheeks.
In the next instant, a hissing sound full of endless grief, resentment, despair, and desolation reverberated through everyoneâs soul, and the surrounding world shook along with the hiss. The colors surrounding them changed back and forth between being monochromatic and dim yellow. Hou Feihu now knew why Zhao Hongtuâs face was so pale. It was due to the terrifying hissing sound and the shock of the surrounding scene changing. These changes had rendered them dizzy and nauseous!
Only Wang Pengpai could still stand as their surroundings shook. He clenched the props in his pocket and seemed to be hesitantly judging whether the current situation was critical enough to expose himself.
Previously, he had relied on the Travel Servicesâ loophole to sneak in this tour. If he really revealed his true strength and killed the spiteful ghost here, the situation would be completely different. Wang Pengpai and even his tour party would be punished by the Travel Services.
But soon, Wang Pengpai no longer hesitated, because illusory scenes appeared in front of everyone. Just like old photos quickly appearing and disappearing, they displayed what had occurred in the past in front of everyone.
The spiteful ghost Pingping was not going crazy and was not out to kill everyone. What they were seeing were Pingpingâs memories!
Wang Pengpai loosened his hand and let go of the props. Without much resistance, he immersed himself in the gray and dark memories with the others. However, no one had the time to notice that at this time, Ah Cheng, who was in Pingpingâs arms, seemed to move his eyelids slightly.
The author has something to say:
