The yellow-clothed vengeful spirit was severely wounded and on the brink of death.
Just as I was about to deliver the final blow, I noticed the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit regaining clarity.
Her white eyes now had pupils.
This meant she now possessed reason.
No longer the wild, obsessed vengeful spirit she was before.
However, her body was about to dissipate into nothingness.
Watching this unfold, I began to understand.
It was likely that by severely wounding the female ghost’s spiritual gate, I had forced out all her malevolent energy.
This was what allowed the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit to regain her sanity and clarity.
Seeing that the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit was no longer in danger, I relaxed my guard.
I watched her bid farewell to her sister.
Hearing the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit’s words, the yellow-clothed female ghost sobbed and nodded repeatedly:
“Mm, mm, Sister, Sister, I can’t bear to leave you!”
“Silly sister! For all these years, it was Sister who wronged you.
I, I am about to dissipate. You, you should go and reincarnate!”
The yellow-clothed vengeful spirit continued to speak, her face filled with reluctance.
Her body trembled more violently, flickering in and out of visibility.
“Sister!”
The yellow-clothed female ghost didn't know what else to say, hugging the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit and weeping.
At this moment, the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit gently raised her eyes to look at me.
“Daoist Master, I, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
Seeing the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit speak to me and even thank me, I was taken aback. I retorted:
“You are about to dissipate. Don’t you hate me?”
The ghost sisters looked at me at this moment.
The yellow-clothed vengeful spirit suddenly smiled and shook her head:
“For these eight years, I have been tormented in pain every single day.
Now, now I can finally be free.”
After saying this, she let out a long sigh.
A smile graced her face, truly devoid of her previous painful and ferocious expression.
This was my first time experiencing something like this, and I didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, she was about to dissipate, and it was my doing, yet she was thanking me.
Should I accept her gratitude or reject it?
So, I stood frozen in place, remaining silent.
However, after sighing, the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit spoke to me again:
“Daoist Master, before I dissipate.
I, I want to ask you, ask you for one thing!”
“Speak!”
I replied calmly.
If it was reasonable, I could help her.
“Daoist Master, for all these years, I, I have kept my sister confined.
I wish to ask, ask Daoist Master, after I dissipate.
To send, send her to reincarnate.
The people I killed before, I, I killed them all by myself.
Please, please Daoist Master, do not make things difficult for, for her…”
The female ghost’s face began to contort with distress.
Her body became increasingly ethereal; she wouldn't last much longer.
Hearing this, the yellow-clothed female ghost embraced the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit and wept again:
“Sister!”
The yellow-clothed vengeful spirit's words were not a major issue.
This yellow-clothed female ghost was indeed a good ghost.
She had saved us from the warehouse before, and just now, during the confrontation, she had saved me.
This allowed me to single-handedly defeat the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit without sustaining significant injuries.
Therefore, without any hesitation, I readily agreed:
“Of course! Go in peace!
After you leave, I will write a petition to the underworld.
The judges of the underworld will not pursue your sister for lingering in the human realm.”
“Th, thank you, Daoist Master!”
At this, the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit looked at her sister once more:
“Sister, I am free, I am, leaving…”
With that, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.
The next second, her body transformed into a cascade of glowing particles.
Soul and spirit dissipated.
She vanished before our eyes…
“Sister…”
The yellow-clothed female ghost cried out, consumed by grief.
Seeing that the crisis had been averted, I finally felt relieved.
Tonight had been truly perilous.
But fortunately, everything had been resolved safely.
The yellow-clothed female ghost sat where she was, overcome with sorrow, gazing at where the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit had vanished in her embrace.
I didn’t disturb her immediately.
I wanted to give her some quiet time alone.
I then returned to Chen Ge and Lao Mo.
Lao Mo had caught his breath and said to me, panting:
“Lao Qin, you’re amazing…”
I smiled:
“You rest for now.”
Saying that, I approached Chen Ge:
“Chen Ge, how do we get rid of this ghost miasma?”
Chen Ge waved his hand weakly:
“This, this will pass in a while. It’s just my hand, I can’t move it.”
I looked at Chen Ge’s dislocated wrist.
It had been injured by the yellow-clothed vengeful spirit just now.
Because my shoulder had been dislocated last time, I had learned a bit from my master.
“Chen Ge, bear with it, I will reset it for you.”
Chen Ge nodded.
I gently took Chen Ge’s hand and began to apply slow, steady pressure.
With a final pull and pop.
With two audible clicks,
Chen Ge felt a sharp pain, and then his wrist was set.
However, it was still severely swollen and red.
It wasn’t just a simple dislocation; the muscle tissue had also been bruised, requiring some rest.
“Chen Ge, how do you feel now?”
Chen Ge replied with joy:
“Much better, much better.”
Seeing Chen Ge’s wrist improve, I also smiled with happiness.
Because the yellow-clothed female ghost was still in mourning,
And Lao Mo had not fully recovered.
So, for the time being, I didn’t disturb her.
I simply stayed there, chatting with the two of them for a while and smoking a cigarette.
It wasn't until Lao Mo regained his mobility that I once again approached the yellow-clothed female ghost…
