Shen Chun suddenly sneered. She had lived for so many years and had seen all sorts of things.

Although she didn’t know Gu techniques, she knew the taboos and uses of Gu techniques, “Stop lying to me. Right after the Gu worm died, it can indeed retain the life force it absorbed, but even if I didn’t lure it out back then, it would have dissipated in half an hour.”

Ru Chi really knew how to shift the blame. She clearly didn’t expect Yuan Ming to fight to the death. After Ru Chi caused Yuan Ming’s death, she actually blamed her.

Ru Chi didn’t show any panic and was still very confident, making Shen Chun feel that even if she didn’t help, it was fine. “Alright, you can choose not to help. I’ll continue to look for my offerings. You can help those police officers run errands and clean up my mess.”

Shen Chun clenched her fists and took a deep breath. This was a clear declaration of war, so she said calmly, “I can’t help you. The cycle of life and death is the Netherworld’s business. I’m just an ordinary person. How can I revive the dead?”

When Ru Chi heard this, she was in a daze for a moment and seemed like she believed in Shen Chun’s words, but after a while, she snorted coldly. “Stop lying to me. You didn’t suffer a backlash at the Life Lantern Bridge previously, so do you think I’ll believe you if you tell me that you can’t do it?”

Shen Chun didn’t know how to dissuade her anymore. How could someone be so stubborn? He was already dead and his corpse was about to rot, but she still wanted to revive him?

Now, it was Shen Chun’s turn to get impatient. She sat down on the stool and looked elsewhere. “Believe it or not, although I can open the Hell Ghost Path, it can only last for 15 minutes. Moreover, I only lure souls in and out. Aren’t you afraid that the Grim Reaper will pursue the matter if you take his soul away?”

Right on the heels of that, she asked, “Do you love him very much?”

However, Ru Chi gave Shen Chun an unexpected answer. She bit her lip and said, “No, on the contrary, I hate him.”

Shen Chun was puzzled. She was clearly looking at him with such love and affection, but she said such words. Shen Chun didn’t take the initiative to ask and just sat there waiting for Ru Chi to explain.

Ru Chi moved his index finger from Ah Zui’s forehead to his chin and smiled sadly as she said, “Even if he wants to die, he can’t die. He can only stay by my side forever.”

A cold smile appeared on Shen Chun’s face, and she looked at her with disdain and pity. “So you used a puppet technique on him to keep him alive?”

“Yes.” Ru Chi admitted.

Shen Chun finally understood why this person had done all these things from the beginning to the end, but Shen Chun found something puzzling. “If you use the puppet technique on the dead, you will only make him a living dead. You’re a black magic practitioner, so how can you not understand?”

Ru Chi didn’t mind anything and said slowly, “But a puppet technique is the best way to ensure that his corpse doesn’t rot.”

Shen Chun could hear the impatience in Ru Chi’s tone, but on account that she might help, Ru Chi had been holding back her temper.

If she wasn’t a black magic practitioner but an evil spirit, Shen Chun would have pulled out the Thunder God Whip and beaten her up first. Black magic practitioners were humans, so Shen Chun couldn’t use that method to deal with Ru Chi.

This person’s heart was still tied to a corpse that had been dead for an unknown period of time.

At this moment, Lan Shan seemed to be affected by something and actually became a little restless. After he ran out himself, his eyes lit up, but he still maintained some rationality and asked Shen Chun, “Master, can I eat him?”

Shen Chun didn’t want to bother with Lan Shan at first, but she rejected him without thinking. “No, get lost.”

Lan Shan muttered aggrievedly, “You promised me that you would give me food next time…”

After Shen Chun glared at him, Lan Shan immediately shrank back into the jade bottle.

When Ru Chi saw this, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “You actually raise an evil spirit?”

Shen Chun shrugged disdainfully. “Raising an evil spirit isn’t harmful. It’s none of your business.”

Ru Chi walked down and stared at her intently. The anger in her eyes seemed to be announcing that her patience had reached its limit.

“So, are you going to help me?”

Seeing her aggressive look, Shen Chun tensed up. “I can help you, but I need time to check the ancient books.”

Ru Chi leaned against Shen Chun’s chair and rubbed her slender fingers with her right hand. After thinking for a while, she replied, “Check them here..”
