She's Alive?!

Xie Ai finally realized what was happening as he gasped and opened his mouth. "Yu Chen, don't do it!"

Only then did he realize that he gave away his place of hiding. He shook even more, but in his eyes, saving Yu Chen was more of an important matter despite what had happened in the past.

Although Yu Chen deserved punishment, not like this. Even the soul disappearing? No, he couldn't see such a scene.

His eyes turned firm as he got up and walked out, facing the terrible ghost, but the moment his eyes met the ghost's, his entire body inflated as he shook in terror.

In front of him, stood a girl with one of her legs completely burnt. That explained why something was being dragged inside the shrine. Another leg, even though fine, also had traces of burn all over, so her hand was leaning over to a stick for support.

There wasn't a portion of her skin that wasn't burned and bruised in purple and blackish color. Her hair was also burnt, revealing bruised scalp that had an opened wound. Small worms came in and out of her skull as if it were their home.

Xie Ai resisted the urge to vomit everything out as he stumbled back.

Yu Chen's eyes filled with worry. If Xie Ai saw this expression, he would have been even shocked. He had already figured out that the man didn't have a trace of emotion in his heart. Not that he didn't want to feel, but he couldn't.

The man's heart always remained cold and indifferent, kind of dull throughout the years. He even claimed that Xie Ai was the only one who could make him feel something back then.

At that time, Xie Ai had scoffed and didn't trust a single word coming out of the man's mouth. After being lied to for such a long time, who would be willing to put their trust?

His heart was filling with a trace of bitter resentment and depression, which changed to heartache when he killed the other with his own hands.

But now that Yu Chen's bodily restrictions related to emotions vanished, he could feel things once again. It's just that he probably didn't have any memory of his past life, just a lingering hint of emotion that was left behind with Xie Ai.

Now that he looked at the 'big brother' trembling, his heart was filled with anxiety and worry. He quickly came forward and looked at the ghost. "Kill me! Please! I beg of you!"

The woman laughed as she said in a hoarse voice, "I have waited for such a long time to hear those words. How can I let you off so easy?" Her body flashed and stood right behind Xie Ai as a trace of burnt smell wafted around his body.

There was a crazy smile on her face as she said, "How about I kill him right now?"

Little Yu Chen rushed over and grabbed the lady's robes. His eyes filled with tears as he said, "No…. Please, kill me instead. Destroy my soul completely, but let him go."

"Hmm? Then what about his friends?"

"Let them go too…..please…." The little boy couldn't talk to his 'big brother' right now, but he could always have indirect conservation. "Please, let him live."

Xie Ai immediately grabbed the lady's hand and he put it on his neck stubbornly. "If you're a ghost, you'll kill me right here, right now!"

The ghost laughed. She didn't have anything to do with Xie Ai, but she certainly hated the little boy to the bones. She grinned as she grabbed the little boy's collar as his eyes shone in delight.

This expression made the ghost frown as she loosened her grip. "Boy, you should be crying and begging for mercy…. This isn't the expression I would like to see on your face."

The little boy shook his head. "How can I cry when I'm saving big brother?"

"Then…. I'll just kill him to make you cry and beg for life."

"No!!!!"

Just then, two flying knives came out of nowhere just when she was about to reach out for Xie Ai's neck and cut off her hand. She screamed in terror as her eyes shook in pain.

"How could you?! Who dared to cut off my hands?!" She was screaming as she looked in the direction.

Yu Weimin and Qi Jingguo stood there with dark expressions on their faces. "Xie Ai, I hope we are not late."

"You guys are finally here….." Xie Ai wanted to cry at the moment as his legs gave up. He directly fell to the ground on his knees, staring at those two, and sniffed. "Quickly. Kill her!"

"Hmm," said Yu Weimin as he licked his lips staring at the ghost with interest. "She seems powerful. Maybe I'll finally feel the joy of fighting after such a long time."

"Likewise." Qi Jingguo also smiled as he pulled out his sword.

The corners of Xie Ai's mouth twitched. These pair of lovers were certainly alike to the point of being sick.

And thus, the two groups started fighting. Even the little invisible ghost was stunned by the turn of events. He stared at the scene in front of his eyes and looked at the crying young man beside him.

He silently raised his little transparent hands and tried to wipe the man's tears, but he couldn't. The more he tried, the more his hands passed through the other's body.

He finally let out a frustrated growl. "Why…. why can't I even wipe your tears?"

Xie Ai felt something cold in his cheeks and realized what was happening. There was a smile on his lips upon seeing this. "Don't wipe anymore… I'll save you. You don't have to worry after this."

The little boy knew his words won't reach the man, but he still opened his mouth and whispered, "Why do I feel close to you…? Big brother, just who are you…?"

When the dust settled, Yu Weimin and Qi Jingguo had already controlled the ghost. She was trembling and struggling under their feet. She had an angry look on her face.

Wait…. She didn't look like a dead person…. Rather…..

Xie Ai's eyes widened as he immediately got up and pointed his finger at the lady. "You're actually alive!"

He had felt her pulse when he had grabbed her hands, but he thought it was probably his imagination. Now that he thought about it, she was alive all this time!
