Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 282 - 123: Lady Yan’s General Store, Guests Arrive
An evil ghost, it can be a soul body or a physical entity.
This is why ghost servants can slaughter social world masters, yet when those masters strike with knife or sword, it’s as if they are hitting air, unable to touch the ghost servants.
Unless... that which contains the Ancestral Talisman, the Shadow Blood, can attack the "Extreme Yin Qi" that composes the soul body with "Extreme Yang Qi".
At this moment, Li Yuan felt the woman’s embrace in his arms. He also reached out, wrapping his arm around her back, hooking onto her shoulder, and took her delicate, icy cold, and pale body into his embrace.
He murmured, "Ghosts and ghost servants, when attacked, they transform into soul bodies;
yet during their attacks, they can strike as soul bodies or physical entities...
However, they lack human consciousness, so they don’t make choices.
Humans cannot touch them simply because, whether ghost or ghost servant, they automatically revert to soul bodies when attacked."
Lady Yan whispered, "But, I can choose.
I can let my husband hold me."
Li Yuan held her tightly, gently saying, "Seventeen months, twenty-one days..."
Lady Yan added, "Two hours to go."
The two fell silent.
It was their time of separation.
And coincidentally, both of them remembered.
In the air, the Yin Qi was abundant, and the black market buildings, not truly made of real bricks and stones, now appeared even more chilling, exuding a sinister cold that pierced the soul.
On the originally barren, desolate black market street, small carts could be seen; there was no one in front of the carts, and no vendor behind, just fluttering flags hanging silently in the bleak night wind, revealing an unspeakable eeriness...
Amid this background, there was nonetheless a wonderful tenderness and warmth.
Li Yuan asked, "Can you come home with me?"
Lady Yan replied, "I can’t go back..."
Li Yuan wasn’t surprised by this answer, but still found it hard to accept, asking, "Why?"
Lady Yan said, "I am just an ordinary person, with pitifully little Yang Qi and Yin Qi. Facing such an evil ghost, I should have died long ago, yet I still exist only because these two evil ghosts have reached a balance and completed a fusion...
Now, the you seeing me is me.
But in fact, the real me may already be in another form... that is, a large Yin Qi conglomerate formed by two evil ghosts bonding as one.
The Land of Yin Qi under my feet allows me to be unkillable and immortal, maintaining this form forever.
However, in exchange, I can only stay in the Ghost Realm, appear on Ghost Street, and... when someone triggers the evil ghost rules in the vicinity of this Ghost Realm, I must go directly to kill.
This triggering, I cannot refuse, my body will automatically proceed to fulfill the killing..."
Li Yuan said, "But I touched you, and I’m fine."
Lady Yan said, "Because we are close, but I chose to let you not trigger the rules..."
Li Yuan said, "What if I accidentally violate the rules?"
Lady Yan fell into silence for a moment, then said, "I would have no choice but to act. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
But, my husband, as long as you don’t show a desire to kill me, as long as you don’t go outside to buy Yinji Powder, you won’t trigger the rules..."
Li Yuan seemed a bit hesitant, wanting to speak but stopping.
Yet Lady Yan, being clever, and having been a wife for long, seeing her husband’s look, immediately understood what he was thinking, so she leaned close to his ear, whispering softly with a smile.
Li Yuan’s weathered face couldn’t help but blush.
What is it like when a lady turns into an evil ghost?
He had never experienced it, so he wanted to try.
Hearing this, he slightly bent down, scooping Lady Yan’s legs with his strong arm, picking her up directly, and asked, "Feng’Er and the peddler... really have no consciousness, right?"
Lady Yan’s cheeks were pale, yet within that paleness appeared an inexplicable blush. She shook her head, then extended her white, icy arms around Li Yuan’s neck, thought for a moment, and leaned over, saying, "Just in case, you can’t..."
Her voice grew quieter, filled with some apology.
Yet Li Yuan carried her, striding through the eerie buildings of the Ghost Realm, opening a room in a building, and laid Lady Yan on the bed.
A night of joy, short is the night.
At the end, the triumphant dragon repents.
Lingering, husband and wife share a pillow.
For a long time, the pale dame lay, as in the human world, half-clinging on Li Yuan, teasingly tapping his strong chest, asking, "Does it feel different?"
Li Yuan said, "Cold."
Lady Yan:...
Li Yuan said again, "In just a little while, I felt all the frustration and bottled-up emotions in the heart of a High Grade Martial Artist melt away, which never happened before. Even if..."
"Even if what?"
"Even if I called Xiaolan and Xiaozhu, and then called Sister Xue, there was never a situation as good as now."
Lady Yan giggled, then teased, "So I’ve really become your treasure."
"You always have been." Li Yuan held her tightly.
Though the triumphant dragon shows regret, like forged steel plunged into icy water, being quenched and cooled just right.
Li Yuan sensed again and added, "Actually, it’s not that the situation is good."
Lady Yan: ???
Li Yuan said, "It’s that the situation is unprecedentedly good."
Lady Yan playfully smacked his strong arm, sulking, "Annoying."
Li Yuan asked, "If Yin and Yang are opposites, with the evil ghost as Yin and the martial artist as Yang... if I treat you like this, will it harm you?"
Lady Yan’s beautiful eyes gently closed, sensing for a moment, then lightly frowned and said, "The situation... cannot be described as good."
Li Yuan: ???
Lady Yan chuckled lightly, "Because, the situation is unprecedentedly good."
