Chapter 565: Half-Spirit
When Jun Hao thought of Lu Sheng and Chu Yan’s words, he could not help but shiver and hurriedly packed his things.
Chu Yan and Lu Sheng stood in front of the painting and stared at the black aura lingering on it.
“She actually cultivated into a Half-Spirit by absorbing men’s essence?”
Lu Sheng observed for a while before speaking faintly.
When the black aura heard Lu Sheng’s words, it secretly spread towards the wall, seemingly wanting to escape.
Unexpectedly, Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “You can’t escape with me here.”
The black aura paused and returned to the Flying Immortal Painting.
Chu Yan said expressionlessly, “Let’s burn this thing lest it harms other people.”
“No, no, no!”
When the black aura heard that, it instantly transformed into a woman.
This woman was beautiful and had a plump figure. She was wearing a traditional costume.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two of them. She begged for mercy. “Although I suck men’s essence, I’ve never thought of taking their lives. Please spare me this once on account of how difficult it was for me to cultivate!”
“I just calculated your age of death. It’s only been ten years, but you became a Half-Spirit in ten years. How many people’s essence have you sucked?”
“I… I’ve sucked all the people who lived here before,” the woman explained guiltily.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Since you’re already dead, why are you still here?”
When the woman heard that, her expression darkened. “Because I want revenge!”
She suddenly looked up and said to the two of them, “If the two of you want to take me in, it’s alright. However, can you wait until I’ve avenged myself first?”
“You want revenge?” Lu Sheng said lightly, “It’s not impossible to let you off, but why don’t you tell me why you want revenge?”
When the woman heard that, she immediately sighed faintly.
“I was originally a traditional costume enthusiast. I temporarily stayed here because I worked here. One day ten years ago, I arranged to meet other traditional costume enthusiasts for a gathering. However, before I could leave, I was killed by a man.”
When Lu Sheng heard that, she took out her phone and searched for this apartment building from ten years ago.
Indeed, she found a case where a man entered the house to rob and killed a woman as she had discovered him.
According to the comments, the woman was stabbed a few times and died on the spot. However, the murderer’s whereabouts were unknown.
The woman’s eyes flashed fiercely. “He hasn’t received the corresponding punishment yet. I can’t leave this place!”
Lu Sheng exited the search page and asked her, “Do you know where this person is?”
“I know!” The woman nodded, but then said dejectedly, “But I can’t get close to him.”
“Can’t get close?” Lu Sheng was suspicious. “Why?”
“He has something that can exorcise ghosts. I can’t get close to him. This is also the reason why I have to work hard to cultivate into a spirit.”
The woman said in embarrassment, “I know that it’s wrong to suck essence energy, but I really have no choice!”
Exorcism was useless against spirits. If she could cultivate into a spirit, she would not be afraid of those things.
“How about this? Bring us to that person and we’ll help you.”
Murderers should pay with their lives. Such perpetrators at large must be severely punished.
“You can help me?” The woman’s eyes lit up. “That’s great!”
Lu Sheng said lightly, “Get up first and return to the painting. Then, guide us.”
“Okay!”
The woman climbed up from the ground and bowed to the two of them before transforming into black aura and attaching it to the Flying Immortal Painting.
