After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Pei Yun followed the little girl to a children's room on the third floor. She looked around at the small beds, the dolls, and the photos on the desk, and asked the little girl, "...Do you live here alone?"

The only vengeful spirit in this villa that is clearly recognizable as a child is the one in front of us, but the beds and toys in the room indicate that many children live here.

"They're all gone, they've all disappeared, and I'm all alone..." the little girl said sadly, pouting. "Sister, can you play with me?"

Pei Yun was enveloped in golden light, making it impossible for the little girl to get close to her.

"Where did they go?"

"I don't know, I don't know... They were like dolls, motionless, being dragged away..." The little girl shook her head.

Pei Yun's expression hardened upon hearing her words. She crouched down, looking the little girl in the eye: "...Then why are you staying here?"

There was almost no resentment on the little girl. Logically, her soul should have been able to return to its origin immediately after death, instead of being trapped in this villa like a bound spirit.

"Mom, I'm waiting for Mom to come find me... She hasn't come to see me in a long time. Sister, can you help me find Mom?"

The little girl still had her round, dark eyes wide open, her face pale and eerie, but Pei Yun no longer felt a sense of unease. Instead, she felt pity and asked, "Where is your mother?"

"It's upstairs, but the painter won't let me go up."

"...Your father, who is your father?"

“I don’t have a father,” the little girl said. “I only have a painter.”

"Is the painter your father?"

"I don't know. The painter will bring a lot of uncles to see me. They will take me to the next room for a medical check-up, then change me into new clothes and give me lots of toys..."

The little girl's innocent words struck Pei Yun's heart like a heavy blow. She stared at the little girl in surprise and disbelief, a surge of anger rising within her in an instant. She stood up, her face colder than ever before, her voice filled with murderous intent: "Painter!"

Having said that, he couldn't wait to turn around and leave.

"Sister, aren't you going to play with me anymore?" As the little girl spoke, the dolls placed on the bed, the cabinet, and scattered on the floor, their black, glass-beaded eyes staring intently at Pei Yun's figure.

At that moment, the dolls in the room seemed to come alive. They rolled their eyes and stiffly surrounded Pei Yun, repeating the little girl's words in a completely lifeless tone: "...Sister, play with me!"

Pei Yun looked at the little girl, who was giving her a strange smile: "Sister, play with me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door not far away disappeared, and Pei Yun seemed to be pulled into a dream world where everything around her was completely dark, with only the golden light emanating from the necklace around her neck bringing a glimmer of light...

The "resurrected" dolls, filled with resentment, rushed towards Pei Yun, but turned to ashes the moment they touched the golden light.

After probing with her divine sense, Pei Yun spotted a tiny red light deep within the darkness. She paused, then walked towards the source of the red light…

The deeper she went into the darkness, the stronger the resentment she felt around her became. At the same time, scenes from her memories appeared before her, depicting the tragic life of a little girl.

These beasts are worse than animals!

Filled with immense grief and anger, Pei Yun arrived at the edge of the darkness, before the little girl in the red dress.

The little girl lay lifeless on the ground, her dress torn and bearing obvious signs of abuse. Her eyes were wide open, but filled with a dull, lifeless grayness.

Pei Yun knelt down, extinguished the golden light, bent down and embraced the small corpse, silently shedding tears...

"Return to your origin, reincarnate, and no longer linger in this filthy world..."

Her words seemed to awaken the person in her arms. The little girl's eyes lit up in an instant. She first raised her hands as if to strangle Pei Yun's neck, but Pei Yun did not use the golden light to protect himself.

However, when the little girl saw the tears glistening in Pei Yun's eyes, she unconsciously withdrew her hand.

Her voice seemed both far away and close at hand: "...I can't leave, I'm trapped...Sister, you can help me get out of here, right?"

Pei Yun met the little girl's innocent gaze, nodded without hesitation, and said firmly, "I will definitely help you get out of here!"

The little girl smiled happily, but her smile gradually faded, her figure gradually disappeared, and at the same time, the surrounding illusion slowly collapsed...

A moment later, Pei Yun returned to the children's room, where the little girl's vengeful spirit was still standing not far away.

This time, she didn't stop Pei Yun from leaving. But before she left the room, the little girl, holding a doll dressed in the same red dress as her, muttered, "...The painter isn't a painter."

Pei Yun's expression changed, and she turned to look at the little girl, but the little girl ignored her and just sat on the ground with her head down, playing by herself.

Leaving the children's room, Pei Yun immediately unleashed her unique sword technique, but when she reached the fifth-floor stairwell, a barrier formed by resentment blocked her way.

Pei Yun snorted coldly and, without saying a word, unleashed the Nine Gates Unification Sword Technique!

Nine swords of emptiness shot out from nine doors radiating dazzling golden light, hovering around her. Pei Yun brought two fingers together and gently slashed forward, causing the nine golden swords to merge into one and attack the barrier of resentment...

To Pei Yun's surprise, the barrier of resentment actually blocked her attack. Although 90% of her strength was sealed, this was still a full-force attack using 10% of her strength. Outside, it would be equivalent to an attack from a Golden Core cultivator. Yet, it failed to break through the opponent's barrier of resentment.

Pei Yun frowned deeply, but she did not give up. She once again used the Nine Gates Return to One Sword Technique, while simultaneously activating her spacetime domain to enhance it.

She must break through! She must kill this beastly demon!

The sharp sword light pierced straight into the barrier, and the two sides remained locked in a stalemate for an unknown period of time before cracks began to appear on the barrier...

However, at that moment, the grandfather clock rang again with a "clang," signaling that it was six o'clock in the morning!

The vengeful spirits that had been surrounding Pei Yun but dared not approach began to disperse and retreat back into the paintings in the corridor.

A sliver of newly risen sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, gradually dissipating the resentment. The villa, which had been left in a mess due to the fight, seemed to have been restored to its original state as during the day, as if time had reversed...

At the same moment, the barrier of resentment on the fifth floor also disappeared. Upon seeing this, Pei Yun withdrew his spiritual power and prepared to search for the painter's whereabouts room by room.

Unexpectedly, the butler pushed the painter in a wheelchair out of the last room in the corridor!

The painter remained expressionless, not even glancing at Pei Yun, while the butler gave Pei Yun a sinister smile, staring at her with venomous eyes: "Didn't I say that the fifth floor is the painter's territory, and guests aren't allowed up here..."

Pei Yun's face was cold and his whole body was filled with murderous intent: "Not only am I going to come up here today, but I'm also going to kill the painter!"

As he spoke, a sword light shot straight toward the painter in the wheelchair. The butler reacted quickly, raising one hand. The resentment released from his palm transformed into a giant hand, which instantly extinguished the sword light!

Pei Yun's expression changed slightly as he sized up the butler. The two stared at each other silently for a few seconds before making their move almost simultaneously.

Pei Yun hadn't expected the butler to be so powerful, holding her own against her. Although her golden key could ward off resentment, with the butler protecting her, her attacks couldn't get close to the painter.
