Chapter 487: Chapter 476: Fierce Ghost
"Don’t come over, don’t come over, there’s a ghost, there’s a ghost! Help!" Ye Qiu arrived at the villa, where Chu Cheng was clutching his head in sheer panic, darting around like a frightened rat.
"Husband, don’t run away, look how cute our child is." Song Jin followed behind him, cradling a bundle of Ghost Energy in her arms, smiling with a face full of tenderness.
"Ah! Madwoman, you madwoman!" Chu Cheng kept calling Song Jin a madwoman, not realizing that he himself was no different from a madman.
"Husband, don’t you like our child?" Song Jin’s face suddenly changed, becoming gloomy and cold, her eyes fixedly staring at Chu Cheng.
"This is not my child, it’s a ghost, a ghost!" Chu Cheng screamed frantically, and in his carelessness, he fell to the ground and started to crawl on all fours, nearly breaking down.
"Daddy, don’t you like me?" Suddenly, the mass of Ghost Energy in Song Jin’s arms transformed into a child who had a pale face with blood-red tears flowing from his eyes, crawling continuously behind Chu Cheng.
"Ah! Help, help!" Seeing this, Chu Cheng scrambled even faster, but the ghost baby crawled even swifter and soon caught up with Chu Cheng, grinning as it climbed onto his back.
Chu Cheng felt like he was suffocating, his whole body quivering uncontrollably, and in a short while, a pool of an unidentified yellow liquid flowed beneath him; seeing this, Ye Qiu averted her gaze in disgust.
"Husband, don’t you like the child I gave birth to for you?" Song Jin’s face was eerily calm, but her gaze was incredibly dangerous. As the child cried and laughed, she suddenly pounced on Chu Cheng, scratching and biting at him.
"Crazy bitch, you crazy bitch." Chu Cheng retaliated with a slap across her face.
"Hee hee..." The ghost baby, seeing the two of them fighting, floated in mid-air.
"King!" Upon seeing Ye Qiu, the ghost baby dropped its playful expression and adopted a posture of respect that was completely uncharacteristic of a child.
"You’ve done well, I’m satisfied; this is your reward." As she spoke, a powerful surge of Ghost Energy entered the body of the ghost baby, and after absorbing it, the baby’s complexion gained a bit more color.
"Thank you, King." The ghost baby was joyful and expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Remember, don’t let them die too easily." Ye Qiu watched Chu Cheng and Song Jin with a smile that was not quite a smile, feeling a sense of vindictive satisfaction settle within her.
Although Chu Cheng and Song Jin were certain to suffer punishment from the Underworld after their deaths, Ye Qiu couldn’t wait that long, and might as well do it herself, as she wasn’t going to incur any karma, and the Underworld couldn’t punish her, could it?
If the Underworld of this realm truly came looking for her because of this, she might have an opportunity to clarify her true identity.
However, no matter how many Fierce Ghosts she absorbed, the Ghost Chasers of the Underworld never came looking for her; they even went out of their way to avoid her. This became rather interesting; just what identity did that System backing her possess, that even the Underworld dared not provoke it?
And the more she practiced the Cultivation Technique of the Soul Power Technique she exchanged for this time, the more she felt that there was something unique about this technique. Unfortunately, she had fallen into the Ghost Realm in this world and was practicing the lowest level of Ghost Cultivator cultivation technique from the Soul Power Technique, and the Spiritual Energy in this realm was so weak that she couldn’t explore much.
If there were a chance to enter a higher realm of Cultivation World, her intuition told her that practicing the Soul Power Technique again might give her the opportunity to unearth the memories hidden deep within her mind.
"Are you leaving already?" Meng Huai emerged from the lake, respectfully seeing off Ye Qiu, and not only because Ye Qiu had now become a Ghost King but also because of the Cultivation Technique Ye Qiu had given him before; he had a feeling that if he mastered this technique, there might be a pleasant surprise in store.
Ye Qiu looks at Meng Huai with gratitude in her heart. After all, without his help back in the day, she might not have been able to take her revenge so quickly, and Xiao Ran might have had to endure even more suffering. Therefore, she gave him a Cultivation Technique suitable for Ghost Cultivators from the "Soul Power Technique". Fortunately, his talent and disposition are both good, so it’s possible that he might achieve something in the future.
"I’ll leave this place to you to watch over. I probably won’t come by often anymore." Ye Qiu is now putting more of her attention on Xiao Ran, and as for Chu Cheng and Song Jin, as long as they live in pain and fear for the rest of their lives, that’s enough.
"Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of it."
"Come over for a meal when you have time. Xiao Ran likes you very much... Mm... when you are free, you can also help him with his homework." Speaking of which, this really is one of Ye Qiu’s biggest headaches. Xiao Ran is usually quite bright and sensible, but for some reason, homework time always drives people crazy. She finally understands why parents with children at home often shout and scream; helping kids with their homework is truly unbearable.
Considering that Meng Huai was a university student at a prestigious college before his death, teaching a child homework should be no problem, right?
"Sister Ye Qiu..." Meng Huai gave a wry smile. He really wanted to ask if he could skip teaching the kid homework? But then he couldn’t bear to give up on Sister Ye Qiu’s cooking skills, what a dilemma!
"Mom, I’m home." At five in the afternoon, Xiao Ran returned by the school bus, plunging into Ye Qiu’s arms as soon as he got off the bus.
"Let’s go home. Mom made your favorite large shrimps." Ye Qiu held Xiao Ran’s hand, smiling with warm happiness.
"Oh, the child is back?" Neighbors greeted them, looking at the mother and son with smiling faces.
They all had their memories altered by Ye Qiu; in their eyes, Ye Qiu and Xiao Ran are just a normal mother and son.
"Say hello to Granny Liu. The sticky rice dumplings you said were really tasty yesterday were made by Granny Liu." Ye Qiu smiled and stroked Xiao Ran’s head.
Xiao Ran obediently smiled at Granny Liu: "Thank you, Granny Liu. Xiao Ran likes the sticky rice dumplings you make the most."
Granny Liu looked at the two with a kind smile: "If you like them, that’s good. If you like them, I’ll make more later."
"You’re too kind." Ye Qiu said, feeling a bit embarrassed as she thanked Granny Liu again. She thought about the big red grapes Ling Xiao had sent over a couple of days ago, and later she would take a couple of bunches over.
"No trouble at all, I’ve got nothing else to do, and I like Xiao Ran too." Granny Liu said kindly, watching as Ye Qiu and Xiao Ran got on the elevator. Her loving smile gradually faded, and she sighed deeply.
Forget it, the Ghost King hasn’t done anything excessive, just wants to take care of her child. Why should she make a fuss about it? Even Master Hui Guang has met his demise, she might not be able to win against Ye Qiu anyway, and according to her, it was Master Hui Guang’s own stubbornness that led to his doom.
As the elevator doors closed, the smile on Ye Qiu’s face also dispersed, but as long as no one provokes me, I don’t provoke anyone else; she still very much welcomes good neighbors.
"What did you learn at school today?"
"Today we had a teacher from the United Kingdom, and we learned English." Xiao Ran answered Ye Qiu’s question with bouncing excitement.
"Could you understand it?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
"I couldn’t understand at first, but the teacher was really funny, and taught us how to greet each other." Xiao Ran seemed to love his school life, and Ye Qiu was also glad that she came back early enough that Xiao Ran’s life wasn’t ruined by Chu Cheng and Song Jin like in his past life.
