Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 39 039: Long time no see

“Blat!”

Akagi Taoist's head rolled to the ground like a broken ball, his eyes wide open with an expression full of unwillingness.

The baby spirit trotted forward and held the head in its arms, as if it was looking at its favorite toy.

It didn't notice that there was a talisman stuck on the back of its head. Pei Juan didn't give any orders and just started playing by itself.

But after a while, the expression on the baby spirit's face suddenly became distorted, its brain felt a tingling sensation, and a strange consciousness appeared and tried to seize control of its body.

The baby's face changed a dozen times in a few breaths. It became ferocious, kind, and terrified...

When Lin Beixuan saw the sudden changes in the infant spirit, he felt something was wrong.

"What did Akagi Doji slap on its head before he died?"

At this time, Pei Juan also noticed the abnormal changes on the baby spirit's face. The baby spirit was cultivated by her, and it could communicate with her mind, so she could quickly know what happened to the other party.

At this time, the infant spirit's mind was extremely distorted and confused, as if someone had suddenly stuffed a lot of things into its brain, which had a significant impact on the infant spirit's original consciousness.

Soon after, these twisted and chaotic consciousnesses began to frantically devour the spiritual consciousness controlled by Pei Juan, trying to cut off the connection between Pei Juan and the infant spirit.

"not good!"

Pei Juan sensed this phenomenon and quickly pushed away the old beggar in front of her, took out a bloody handkerchief from her sleeve, wrapped it around her hand, and walked quickly towards the infant spirit.

But before she could get close, the baby spirit suddenly screamed and looked at Pei Juan with a terrifying and murderous look. The rich yin energy emanating from its body almost formed a vortex.

Pei Juan thought something was wrong when she saw this, and she immediately bit her finger and drew a strange rune in front of her. Then she sat cross-legged and stared at the baby spirit.

She pinched a corner of the bloody handkerchief, letting it rustle in the wind, and quickly chanted a spell to control the infant spirit, temporarily keeping it in place.

However, this is all she can do for now.

The method of raising ghosts with ghosts is extremely dangerous. If you want to control such vicious ghosts, you have to pay a high price. Usually you have to feed them with your own essence and blood.

However, Pei Juan took a shortcut. She did not feed the members of the Ruan family with her own blood and essence, but instead contracted a contract with the ghost mother Li Niangzi. She used the ghost mother's resentment to continuously kill and devour the blood and essence of the Ruan family in order to feed the infant spirit that had not yet been born.

Doing so would cause little harm to her, because the cost was borne by the ghost mother and the Ruan family, but correspondingly, the connection between her and the infant spirit would not be so close, as there was always the ghost mother, Madam Li, separating them, and her means of control were greatly weakened.

Now that the infant spirit has suddenly gone berserk, it has obviously become dangerous to forcibly remove the talisman that affects its spiritual consciousness from behind its head. The safest way is to strengthen the control over the ghost mother to interfere with the infant spirit.

"You've created some trouble for me even before you die. When I solve this matter, I will definitely capture your soul and refine it into my bottle, so that you will never be reborn." Pei Juan glanced at the headless body of Taoist Akagi with a gloomy face.

"Ah...Ajuan!"

The old beggar looked at Pei Juan who completely ignored him, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Lin Beixuan found that the old beggar was a little like a normal person now. Before, he was crazy and the only thing on his mind was the safety of Huangshi Village. But now there was an old woman who could make his emotions change drastically.

"They are having an affair!"

Lin Beixuan could easily guess that Pei Juan and the old beggar must have had some emotional grievances when they were young, and it was very likely that the old beggar abandoned her, so that the old beggar still holds a grudge against her. "I didn't expect that the old beggar had a romantic past."

As Lin Beixuan was thinking this, he heard a very familiar voice again.

She wept like a nightingale, her voice appearing and disappearing from time to time, as if she was far away, but was close by the next second.

Lin Beixuan's hairs suddenly stood up. It was not because he was afraid, but it was his body's subconscious reaction. He almost didn't survive the last time at the hands of Madam Li, so he still had some trauma.

While adjusting his mood, he saw Madam Li floating out in plain clothes. Her skin was pale and bloodless. Her stomach had already flattened, and there was a hint of bright red on the hem of her clothes.

Will ghosts bleed?
While Lin Beixuan was thinking about this, Madam Li had already floated in front of Pei Juan and gently picked up the silk handkerchief from the old lady's fingertips.

Madam Li sobbed softly and looked at the baby spirit with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

That's her child.

No matter what kind of character the Third Young Master had or how many evil things he had done, the child was conceived in her belly and born by her.

The mother and child are connected by heart, and the baby spirit can be controlled by her since birth, but this right was taken away by Pei Juan.

"Go and take off the talisman on the back of its head while the infant spirit is still under my control." Pei Juan spoke coldly, as if she didn't care at all about Madam Li's life or death.

The infant spirit had already gone berserk at this point, and she could only barely control it. Once she approached it, the infant spirit would most likely break free of control and attack the people around it.

Although the baby spirit was born by Madam Li, its strength is far greater than that of Madam Li. This is also one of the prices of raising a ghost with a ghost.

No matter how powerful Lady Li was in devouring human blood and essence before, the baby spirit would absorb the mother's power as its own nutrients after birth, causing the mother's strength to decline.

Among the twelve common ghosts, most of the infant spirits are much stronger than the ghost mothers who gave birth to them, and because of their unique growth attributes, the individual combat power of infant spirits is often very strong after they are born.

Moreover, the infant spirit in front of him was extremely special and different from other infant spirits of the same kind.

Because Madam Li was just pregnant when she died, unlike the ordinary ghosts among the Twelve Common Ghosts who were killed when they were about to give birth, the baby's spirit was fully nurtured from birth and had a strong foundation.

It can be said that Pei Juan took great pains for this infant spirit and finally cultivated it. However, just after the blood sacrifice, it faced the dying counterattack of Taoist Akagi, which distorted the infant spirit's consciousness.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Seeing Madam Li standing there without moving, Pei Juan immediately spoke out angrily.

In fact, she had another idea in her heart, which was to take the opportunity to get rid of Madam Li when she went to take down the talisman. In this way, the last bit of barrier between her and the infant spirit would disappear, and she would have complete control over the infant spirit.

Otherwise, she would have to worry about Madam Li betraying her in the future and competing with her for control of the infant spirit.

After receiving Pei Juan's order, Madam Li did not dare to hesitate any longer. She floated forward and came in front of the infant spirit.

Looking at the ferocious face of the infant spirit, a hint of tenderness flashed in Madam Li's eyes. She reached out to take off the talisman behind the infant spirit's head, regardless of the cold wind that was blowing her hands and leaving them skinned.

During this time, while everyone's attention was focused on the infant spirit, Lin Beixuan quietly sneaked into the back house and came behind the housekeeper.

"Butler Xu, long time no see!"
