The invincible female ghost is a bit love-struck.

Chapter 23 Gouging out eyes and pulling out tongue!

silence.

Silence as death.

Lu Yuan stood frozen in place, looking up at the blood-red figure on the tree branch, his mind completely blank.

Lu Yuan couldn't believe that the jade pendant in his hand was actually a lifesaver.

Good heavens!!

What incredible deed have I done?!

This super-powerful monster wouldn't be so kind to me, would it?

Just because I lit a few extra incense sticks?

Or is it because of his promise to "guide you to the afterlife"?

In all honesty, that statement was not something I made up on the spot.

But with Lu Yuan's current level of cultivation, it's just an empty promise.

For a long time, Lu Yuan was unable to do it.

After all, it's a super ominous 20-star monster.

How incredibly powerful must that be?

Let alone Lu Yuan, who has only just reached the threshold of becoming a Celestial Master, even a five-star Celestial Master would probably shake his head at this matter.

Only the Grand Celestial Master can intervene!

That would take forever!

Even if Lu Yuan's path of cultivation is smooth and bright, it will still be ten or eight years from now.

During this time, if she can't wait and feels that she is lying to him, will she tear herself apart in a fit of anger?

Lu Yuan's mind was in a mess, but for the moment, he could only speak and gesture in a somewhat flustered manner:

"It wasn't intentional, it just cracked with the slightest squeeze..."

The ghost bride on the tree branch stared silently at Lu Yuan.

Those scarlet eyes remained empty.

Then, a new white jade domino fell from the tree into Lu Yuan's hands.

Another one?

When Lu Yuan came to his senses and looked up at the tree branch again, the ghost bride had already disappeared.

Only a chilling wind remained at the scene.

This……

……

In the dead of night, in a dilapidated temple in the middle of nowhere.

The campfire crackled, casting swaying, ghostly shadows on the mottled, peeling statues on the walls.

Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan had already laid out their bedding on the floor, and their snores filled the air.

Lu Yuan, however, was wide awake.

He sat cross-legged by the fire, his fingers caressing the warm, smooth white jade domino, which felt icy to the touch.

"You're really lucky, kid!!"

The braised chicken on the side looked on with undisguised envy and lowered its voice, speaking in its distinctive quack-like tone.

"I, Master Huang, have cultivated for eighty years, and I have never seen a more powerful ferocious beast than her!"

"With this super-powerful monster protecting you, won't you be able to walk sideways in the border region from now on?"

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly at the mention of braised chicken.

Lucky?

What bad luck!

This pressure is immense!!

Before Lu Yuan could say anything, the braised chicken said mysteriously again:

"However, even so, you still have to be careful when using it, or you might lose your life!"

Ok?

Hearing what Huangmenji said, Lu Yuan looked at Huangmenji with some curiosity.

Why is that?

Don't be fooled by Huangmenji's childish way of speaking, calling everyone "Master" and acting like a clueless kid.

But he was a genuine immortal who had cultivated for eighty years, and was far more knowledgeable than I could ever be.

The purpose of this jade pendant was just predicted by it.

Then the braised chicken shook its head and said:

"As the old saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"You just said that you don't have a very good relationship with this 'big bad guy.' Your relationship is so ambiguous, and he helped you for no reason. Doesn't that mean you owe him a favor?"

"In this world, the hardest debts to repay are those owed to others. Today she helps you, tomorrow she'll demand a refund, even if it means taking your life. Will you give in or not?"

Hearing what Huang Menji said, Lu Yuan nodded slightly, agreeing wholeheartedly.

This is true.

"No matter what, she is a very unlucky person, and you are a Taoist priest. Getting involved together will not end well."

"Think it over yourself..."

After finishing speaking, Huang Menji stood up.

Lu Yuan glanced at it.

"Are you leaving?"

The braised chicken nodded its little head:

"This pink spirit meat only replenished my twenty years of cultivation, far from enough! I need to find some better things to nourish my body."

Lu Yuan didn't care about this at all.

Lu Yuan looked at the firelight and spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft:

"What you do is none of my business."

"I just feel that you have been cultivating for eighty years and are only one step away from achieving enlightenment."

"At this critical juncture, if you turn back and harm the Wang family, becoming an evil spirit, it would be truly not worth it."

Braised chicken is definitely not as simple as going to find spiritual flesh to replenish one's cultivation.

In the year since he transmigrated here, Lu Yuan has had quite a few dealings with weasels.

This kind of animal is extremely vengeful; if you offend it even slightly, it can make you fall seriously ill.

Not to mention Wang Youde's family, who were literally killed by the braised chicken.

If the braised chicken doesn't retaliate, it won't be a weasel.

But if braised chicken really does that, it will become an evil spirit, and it can forget about receiving offerings and incense from now on.

Huangmenji paused, turned his head, and a rare hint of seriousness flashed in his dark eyes.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

"Besides, you saved Master Huang's life. If I were to harm Wang Youde's family, you would also be implicated in the consequences."

"I'm not that kind of disloyal person!"

Look at him, all he talks about is loyalty. He speaks just like those immature kids like Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan.

Before Lu Yuan could say anything, Huang Menji revealed a sinister and cunning smile.

"However, while the death penalty may be spared, punishment is inevitable!"

"If I, Master Huang, don't cause trouble for his family and make him suffer seven or eight years of bad luck, I'll have wasted my life!"

After saying that, its figure flickered and disappeared into the vast darkness outside the temple.

The dilapidated temple returned to silence.

Lu Yuan lay on the floor, covered with a blanket, tossing and turning, his mind a jumbled mess.

Around dawn, when the rooster is about to crow.

Lu Yuan suddenly sat up abruptly!

knew!!

Now I know why this ghost bride can't speak!

Her tongue was ripped out!!!

Is there anyone who can pull out the tongue of a person with a 20-star ominous appearance?

It wasn't that the ghost bride had her tongue pulled out when she became this powerful, but rather...

Before she became a vengeful ghost, her tongue was cut out!

That ghost marriage!

Lu Yuan, who had been in this world for a year, had never encountered anything like a ghost marriage.

But once, when I was chatting with my father while we were doing some work, he mentioned it to me briefly.

To prevent the female corpse from causing trouble after death, the groom's family would take extremely cruel actions.

They gouged out the woman's eyes and pulled out her tongue!

Gouging out her eyes was to prevent her from looking around after she died, so that she wouldn't have any extra thoughts or ideas.

Pulling out her tongue would prevent her from appealing her grievances even if she met the underworld officials after death!

Even worse, some would cut off the female corpse's feet!

The goal is to prevent her from wandering around after she dies!

For a moment, Lu Yuan recalled the ghost bride's empty, unfocused scarlet eyes.

And those extremely difficult pronunciations!

In addition...

Lu Yuan thought about it carefully...

Indeed, it seems we didn't see the ghost bride's legs...

Although the lower half of the ghost bride's body was covered by the hem of her red wedding dress, there was a cloud of blood mist inside...

Yes!

That must be it!!

In an instant, white jade dominoes reappeared in Lu Yuan's hand!

Whether it's true or not, a simple question will tell you!

Although she had difficulty speaking, she could still utter a word or two.

Even if they can't say a single word, they can still nod or shake their heads!
