Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 711 - 695: Everyone Is Happy

How could Huang San not know?

Originally, it had no other choice. When it finally met Li Tiezhu, it had to accept it reluctantly since it didn’t have enough fortune.

"If you keep haunting her, she would have died long ago." Huang San sighed, "When you enter her dreams, she gets infected with ghostly energy, there’s no way around it. Not every constitution can resist the invasion of ghostly energy.

Right now, you two seem like a good team; you absorb Yang Energy, she makes easy money.

Over time, Liang Yuhong would lose her lifespan because of you and die early. You, too, will have to take responsibility, and you’ll face the consequences when the reckoning comes."

Lin Mingze was rendered speechless at once; the Water Ghost hadn’t taught him that, and he truly didn’t know.

Huang San attached itself to Li Tiezhu, scolding Liang Yuhong, "Besides the invasion of ghostly energy, all that ill-gotten wealth you’ve extorted is not good. You’re playing both the arsonist and the savior, deceiving people for money. Even if those people aren’t good, what you’re doing is still wrong."

"But, but that’s what Lord Ghost Immortal gave me." Liang Yuhong insisted despite the lack of confidence, "What are you planning to do with Lord Ghost Immortal? I, I can pay you, if you can spare him, will you?

It was my choice to worship him, we never really harmed anyone, no one has ever treated me as well as Lord Ghost Immortal did, and I’m willing to accept a shortened lifespan!"

Hearing her say this, Lin Mingze sighed again, "I’m not bragging, but I’m really not a bad guy. I was just young and foolish, thinking that being open with friends wouldn’t cost me anything, but it resulted in a disaster.

I was always genuinely good to those around me, and I had great relationships!

Even my fiancée kept wearing her engagement ring for three years after my death, refusing to let go. I had no choice but to send her a dream, and that’s when she finally started dating someone else last year.

I did fool Liang Yuhong with my disguise, but I didn’t take a cent of that money; she could spend it however she liked. Sometimes, I even gave her investment advice. Over the past six months, our cooperation has been pleasant, and I’m asking you all to show some mercy and spare me!"

The main focus of its plea was Jiang Yuan.

After all, that yellow-skinned creature could only match it at best, but if it stayed too long, it would negatively impact the one it is possessing, and eventually would fail against itself;

The other young person who could see it was extremely timid, always hiding behind this person, clearly someone who couldn’t fight;

Yang Yaozong’s sister was just an ordinary person who couldn’t see ghosts at all.

The only one who could really pose a threat was this master who could summon thunder. As long as he nodded in agreement, the others would likely follow suit.

"What a pity; I originally wanted to try burning you to see how effective it is." Jiang Yuan looked at Lin Mingze and then at the untried skills, sighing sincerely, "Now, as long as you don’t bother Yang Yaozong and the others, I can consider sparing you."

"Am I stupid? Being struck by lightning and running back to mess with them?" It thought about that lightning bolt, considered the unused fire, and felt a sudden fear, saying, "Here’s the plan, please pass a message that Liang Yuhong should buy a ticket for the nearest train to Shanxi and leave immediately!

In the meantime, let her take a break, play around as she likes, recover her health, and I’ll look for someone else suitable.

From now on, there will be no more work or contact; I’ll keep my distance from her. Whether or not I find a new candidate, I’ll leave in no more than three years, and all the money earned will be hers; is that acceptable?"

Hit by lightning, it could feel the Yin Fiend Qi it had painstakingly gathered scatter by seventy to eighty percent, and it indeed needed to recuperate, pause for some time, and then resume absorbing Yang Energy to gain strength.

At least, it should leave first, hide in a place where no one knows it, and then carefully plan what to do next.

In any case, reincarnation is out of the question. At worst, take less money, focus on punishing evildoers, and strive for more merits, hoping one day to truly cultivate.

"Book the ticket now and leave?" Liang Yuhong was taken aback after hearing this, then asked, "What about Lord Ghost Immortal? Can he come with me?"

She spoke to the red string sincerely, "Lord Ghost Immortal, please say something. We should be together; live or die. I’ll never find another ghost as good to me as you; there’s no way I’ll leave you!"

Tears started streaming down her face as she quickly rummaged through her bag, "I’ll give you all the money I made from cheating, I’m begging you to spare Lord Ghost Immortal! I can swear, I’ll never cheat for money again!"

With Chuci softly interpreting, Yang Hongye suddenly felt a bit of admiration for Liang Yuhong. Putting everything else aside, she was at least a person of genuine character.

If she were a greedy coward, she could take the chance to escape from the Fiend, avoiding her lifespan from being shortened, and keep a substantial amount for a carefree life in the second half of her life.

Of course, it’s also possible that it was all an act, planning to use the Fiend to keep cheating after leaving. But even so, to be in a weaker position and still strive to give her partner a chance to live is better than many others.

"Didn’t you hear my brother say he was considering sparing it?" Chuci interrupted as he heard Huang San muttering that the matter between them wasn’t worth bothering about, "Hurry up and pack your things and run, those three families genuinely gave you 600,000, and if they come to their senses and report you for fraud, you won’t be able to escape."

Liang Yuhong’s expression stiffened immediately, and she asked softly, "Lord Ghost Immortal, should we return the money?"

Lin Mingze waved a hand over the glass of water on the table, and she understood immediately, "Got it, I’ll go get your Divine Statue, and we’ll catch a taxi to the station!"

She specially ordered a one-foot-tall black divine statue for the "Ghost Immortal," dressed in an immortal robe that was colorfully painted and gold-plated, appearing both solemn and mysterious, with a hint of an eerie vibe upon close inspection.

"It’s the King Yan’s statue that should be black." Huang San, possessing Li Tiezhu, unfastened the cinnabar rope while laughing, "You’re just a little Yin Fiend, yet you dare mold yourself a black divine statue, aren’t you afraid of attracting Black Impermanence to seize you!"

Lin Mingze awkwardly smiled, "I’ll change it later. I don’t dare to be this ostentatious."

Liang Yuhong didn’t have many things either, packing and disposing of them took less than ten minutes before she dragged her suitcase and checked out.

Finally resolving the possession incident, Yang Hongye truly gained freedom from it, and the tension in her mind finally relaxed.

She first led everyone to check in, then joyously took them to enjoy a late-night snack.

Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to offer Huang San a stick of incense and asked about the details of "possession."

"Having the physique that allows for possession by ghosts and gods is quite special, not everyone can handle it." After finishing a quality stick of incense, Huang San, thoroughly delighted, half-closed his eyes and explained, "Without the Vajra Drill, if you insist on handling porcelain work, you’ll have to lose something.

Either your Yang Energy will get damaged and leave you weak, or your soul will suffer, making you mentally unstable, and in severe cases, incurably insane.

That’s why some people worship the Immortal Family but can’t invite immortals, since genuine gods and immortals usually wouldn’t intentionally harm others.

But ghosts are different; the old saying goes that ghosts are crafty because they still have human thoughts! After all, they were once human; unlike animals who cultivate and emulate human behavior differently.

The conditions for possession by ghosts are quite stringent; the Yin Fiend often tricks Liang Yuhong into leading people to mass graves for this reason.

Firstly, graveyards and mass graves have heavy Yin Qi;

Secondly, the environment is unique. Late at night when walking through such places, most people inevitably feel fear, and that fear weakens their courage, giving ghosts an opportunity.

Humans are born with three flavors of Yang fire located on the head and two shoulders, from which the so-called ’human scent’ originates.

To possess someone, a ghost must first extinguish the Yang fire, using methods like patting the shoulders, mimicking a familiar voice calling names, or blowing cool air on the back of the neck. A person turns around or responds, extinguishing one flavor of Yang fire, and the stronger ghosts can possess a body by extinguishing two Yang fires directly.

Sometimes even at home, if you suddenly feel scared, you mustn’t panic. Rub your face, pat your shoulders to strengthen the Yang fire, and there’s a little trick—

Huang San noticed Jiang Yuan listening intently, deliberately pausing before chuckling, "Listening to national anthems or military songs. The more inspiring and righteous it is, the stronger the effect, making you feel invigorated, naturally enhancing the Yang fire, and even if any filthy things want to do something, they won’t dare approach you."

Jiang Yuan was suddenly enlightened, "I knew it, sometimes when I come across a strong military song, I feel particularly motivated, so military songs have this effect."

"Indeed, righteousness is powerful!" It nodded vigorously, "National flags, national emblems, they all have imposing presence, haven’t you noticed that many people place such items at home, in their car, or office?"

"I’ll place some next time too."

"You? With your thunderstruck skills, any evil or fierce ghost would avoid you; you don’t even need these..."

...

Early the next day, Yang Hongye gave everyone red envelopes to thank them for coming this far to help without complaint, naturally giving the thickest one to Li Tiezhu.

On seeing this, he waved his hands quickly, "No, no, although I’ve been noisy and bustling around, it was Jiang Yuan who contributed the most to catching the Yin Fiend. I didn’t do much and feel undeserving."

"I caught an easy opportunity and didn’t do much either. This trip was mainly to learn common knowledge from Master San, Brother Li worked the hardest, this share is what you deserve." Jiang Yuan quickly refused, passing his red envelope to Li Tiezhu.

Li Tiezhu wanted to decline, but Huang San nodded in agreement, "Accept it, little friend isn’t short of this. You’ve done well cleaning up after for the little lady, gaining a bit of good fortune, let’s have a good meal this noon!"

An impromptu trip concluded with everyone in high spirits.

Returning to the city, Jiang Yuan hurried to prepare the gold ingots and papermen horses and Incense, then went home to reunite with his parents for cleaning ancestral graves.

The ancestral graves at home are in the fields, freshly renovated mounds, neat and orderly, with not a trace of Yin Fiend Qi. Gentle breezes swirled the rising Incense smoke as batch after batch of gold ingots and papermen horses were burned, paper ashes flying around, yet he still saw no familiar shadows.

After Qingming Festival, Jiang Yuan went with his parents back south to check on the newly opened small shop, stocking them up with plenty of grain and oil brought from the Wilderness World.

The old couple were busily occupied every day, their spirits getting better. The Medicinal Incense he sent wasn’t needed, and after staying for half a month confirming they were doing well and worry-free, he wandered around taking three months to return to his luxurious penthouse.

Finally aligning with the Wilderness World’s season, Jiang Yuan arranged his trivial matters and comfortably lay in bed once again entering the Wilderness World.
