Yan Xiaosi looked at Little Stone in her arms and said to Ghost Mother and the demonic cultivator, âLittle Stone is innocent, but you two are not.â
âWe all understandâ¦â Ghost Mother turned around and smiled at the demonic cultivator.â Just now, Heng and I had discussed that no matter what the outcome of Little Stone is, we wonât go outside to suck Yang energy anymore. Heng⦠heâll take one last look at Little Stone before he leaves. I⦠I will also go to the Manor of the Dead to receive my punishment. â
Once a demonic cultivator lost his Yang energy, his soul would dissipate, and Ghost Motherâs outcome would probably not be any better than his.
Yan Xiaosiâs voice lowered. âI heard that⦠the punishment in the Manor of the Dead is very heavy. The ghostly cultivators who commit crimes usually donât have a chance to turn over a new leaf. Theyâre either destroyed or thrown into the Fengdu Purgatory, never to be reincarnated.â
Ghost Mother smiled and nodded with tears in her eyes. She had long known that this would be the outcome, but even if she was given another chance to do it again, she would still do it. So what if she was consigned to eternal damnation for the sake of her sweetheart and her sweetheartâs child?
âDo you⦠want to hug him again?â Yan Xiaosi looked at the sleeping Little Stone and said.
The demonic cultivator and Ghost Mother looked at each other. The desire in their eyes was obvious. But Ghost Mother could not touch him.
Yan Xiaosi narrowed her eyes and said, âYou can have my body.â
âThis⦠this will damage Young Masterâs Yang energy. Young Master will be weak.â
âIâll just be weak for a few days. Iâve already discussed it withâ¦â The Holy Master. Yan Xiaosi stopped in time and said seriously,â Are you going to do it or not? If not, Iâll leave.â
âIâll do it! Iâll do it!â Ghost Mother hurriedly pounced over and got on Yan Xiaosiâs body.
Ghost Motherâs cultivation was powerful, and ordinary cultivators could not withstand her nether energy. If she possessed someone, it would be easy for her to take the other partyâs life. People who were killed by the nether energy were very much taken seriously by the Underworld. Once they investigated, they would find out that it was her. Therefore, even though she had wanted to use the method of possessing someone countless times in the past to hug her son, she held back.
At the Holy Masterâs realm, Ghost Mother actually could not possess him. However, Yan Xiaosi was willing, so she easily possessed him.
There was a real touch in her arms again. That was her and Hengâs son, the person she doted on the most in the world.
âThe last time I hugged him was when he was a month old⦠After that, I returned to the Netherworldâ¦â Ghost Mother hugged her son in her arms and was trembling with excitement. The demonic cultivator also walked over. She hugged her son and the demonic cultivator hugged her.
She had never known that there would be a day when she could carry her son with her own hands. Such a small, small thing had already grown so big that it hurt her hands to carry him.
She couldnât hug him enough. She lowered her head and kissed his forehead. Hot tears smashed into Little Stoneâs face. Little Stone woke up faintly and looked ahead with a pair of clear and bright eyes. âMother, is that you?â
âYesâ¦â Ghost Mother nodded vigorously, and large drops of tears fell. She hugged her son tightly, as if she wanted to remember this moment forever. For the rest of her life, she would be consigned to eternal damnation in the Fengdu Purgatory.
Little Stone was very weak and quickly fell asleep again. Ghost Mother understood that her time had come. She left Yan Xiaosiâs body.
Yan Xiaosi said to the two of them, âDonât worry, Iâll entrust him to a suitable family and let him grow up safely.â
Ghost Mother and the demonic cultivator kowtowed to Yan Xiaosi three more times.
The demonic cultivatorâs Yang energy was exhausted. He disappeared in Ghost Motherâs arms. His body was annihilated into ashes inch by inch. Powerful demonic energy overflowed and fed back to the entire Demon Domain.
Every time a cultivator died, their cultivation would be used to nourish this land. This was probably the endless law of the Shengze Continent.
âI should go tooâ¦â Ghost Mother said to Yan Xiaosi. âBut before I leave, I have something to giveâ¦â
Ghost Mother originally planned to say Demon Lord, but when the words reached her lips, she smiled and shook her head. This young master in white did not seem to know the identity of Demon Lord. She did not want to let it slip. There were some things that were between the two of them, and it was best for others not to interfere.
Ghost Mother said, âCan I see that young master one last time? I want to thank him in person.â
âOh, alright.â This request sounded very reasonable, and Yan Xiaosi agreed readily!
Ghost Mother went to the inner room to meet the Demon Lord and the fair and fat little Holy Master sitting on the plate.
Ghost Mother did not ask for the Little Holy Masterâs exact identity. She only knelt down and kowtowed to the Demon Lord. âIâm here because I have something for the Demon Lord..â
