Chapter 3

The evil spirit was unwilling to say anything, so Shen Chun tugged at the thread. After a golden light flashed, the evil spirit seemed to have been electrocuted and let out a shrill scream.

“You’re so noisy.” Shen Chun was a little impatient. “If you scream again, I’ll cut you in half.”

The screams instantly stopped, and the evil spirit said angrily, “Why do you care so much about him?! You women are all shallow gold diggers. You’re all superficial and materialistic!”

“Should we choose you over him? Should we choose you for your poverty, or for being petty and complaining?” Shen Chun sneered. “Is this the reason you’re pestering Fu Shi? Because you’re jealous?”

“Nonsense!” The black fog suddenly expanded. If not for the silk threads restraining it, it would have rushed in front of Shen Chun. “How could I be jealous of him?! If I were him and had such a good family background, I would definitely do better than him and be liked by even more women!”

“I’ll be able to do it soon!” The evil spirit smiled sinisterly. “I’ve already devoured the souls of ten people, so I can approach him at will. As long as I devour more souls, I will be able to possess Fu Shi. Don’t you like him? When the time comes, I’ll use his body to date you, okay?”

Shen Chun felt disgusted. Even Lan Shan, who was behind her, looked disgusted.

“Master.” A hint of joy appeared on Lan Shan’s face as he said, “Let me eat him.”

Shen Chun didn’t answer Lan Shan. She just looked at the black fog. “Fu Shi carries a purple aura and he’s a person with great luck, so it’s impossible for you to replace him.”

“So what?! As long as I devour more souls and become strong enough, I’ll definitely be able to replace Fu Shi!” The evil spirit suddenly paused and became excited. Shen Chun could feel its gaze fixed on him.

“You smell good! Your soul smells better than everyone else’s. As long as I eat you, I can occupy Fu Shi’s body.”

With that, a powerful force burst out of the evil spirit. The threads wrapped around his body suddenly tightened and broke.

A cold wind suddenly rose, and the black shadow kept expanding while trying to trap Shen Chun.

“I want to eat you! I want to eat you!”

“In your dreams!” Shen Chun’s gaze darkened as she quickly formed a curse with both hands. Golden light appeared around her, forming a net that enveloped the black fog.

“Golden Light Divine Curse, Heaven and Earth Profound Sect! Trap!”

The evil spirit was instantly entangled by the golden net. With a crackling sound, the black fog gradually disappeared, and its strength dissipated.

This was impossible!

The evil spirit struggled with all its might, but the golden net tightened around it. Before it could react, a bolt of lightning struck it in the chest.

It looked up and saw Shen Chun surrounded by golden light, Her hair fluttered even though there was no wind. She looked dignified, like a goddess.

“You.” The evil spirit was really afraid now. “Who are you?”

“Remember!” Shen Chun’s hands churned, and the golden net emitted an intense golden light. The evil spirit was in so much pain that it wanted to die. Just before it turned to ashes, it heard Shen Chun say, “I’m your grandma.”

The black fog dissipated, and so did the dark clouds.

Lan Shan cowered. Without waiting for Shen Chun to speak, Lan Shan shrank back into the jade bottle.

“I forgot to let you devour it this time. I’ll definitely let you devour a ghost next time.”

“There’s…” Lan Shan said with a quivering voice, “There’s no need.” Lan Shan was glad that he didn’t attack Shen Chun again that day. Otherwise, there would have been another evil ghost that had turned to ashes.

Shen Chun knew what Lan Shan was afraid of. She put away the jade bottle and said with a smile, “Why are you so afraid? I won’t do anything to you.”

“A wise man submits to circumstances,” Lan Shan said in a muffled voice.

Shen Chun smiled and didn’t say anything else. This evil spirit had devoured a lot of souls. She had exhausted the spiritual energy in her body to defeat it. If Lan Shan had betrayed her at this moment, she would have been helpless. Fortunately, she had intimidated him.

She turned toward the exit, but a woman blocked her way.

Shen Chun confirmed that the person in front of her was a living person. Moreover, she looked very familiar. She was the one who had paid Lin Huai a large amount of money.

“Why did you suddenly appear?” She took a few steps back and stared at Shen Chun suspiciously.

“I was standing in the corner for a while, so you might not have seen me.”

“Is that so?” The woman couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it anymore and said, “I’ll pay you three hundred thousand for fortune telling.”
