Chapter 207: Chapter 204: Can I Hold You Like This Forever?Qin Zhao had used the Soul
The Hellhound outside called out again, this time to the Earth Evil Spirit.
Finally, it understood Qin Zhao and the Hellhound’s intention and crawled towards the Hellhound.
When leaving the muddy path through the rice fields, it paused.
Turning its head toward Qin Zhao, its emaciated arms curled slightly, giving Qin Zhao a gesture of thanks, then it followed the Hellhound without looking back.
"Wake up."
Qin Zhao awakened the unconscious Wang Shuangwei and expelled the yin energy from his body.
"Ghost, there’s a ghost! Ah!"
After waking, his mind filled with ghost hands and shadows, he reflexively curled up.
All beings have spirits, and under normal circumstances, would not attack others for no reason. It was Wang Shuangwei’s moment of greed that brought this disaster upon his family; he could blame no one else.
"It’s resolved, and your family will be fine. Don’t entertain such bad ideas in the future. Be kinder to others. Sometimes good deeds can save your life."
Qin Zhao glanced at him indifferently and then walked away.
"It’s resolved? Thank you!"
Wang Shuangwei finally came to his senses, glanced at the thick night sky, and hurriedly got up, not daring to stay outside alone.
On his way home, he felt regret once more as he remembered what Qin Zhao had said.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhao arrived at the Wang family’s place and destroyed the Ginsengfruit that had been cultivated with the Evil Technique.
She checked the faces of the other members of the Wang family; having eaten the Ginsengfruit, it seemed they had gained the potential for long life.
But sometimes, longevity is not necessarily a blessing.
The Ginsengfruit is cultivated using methods that involve burying live infants and irrigating them with fresh blood. Such methods are not only cruel but also extremely evil; therefore, they are not recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
If a Mortal were to eat it, they would certainly live a longer life, but their Fate Diagram would be altered.
Their life path from then on would surely be filled with hardships and brambles.
"Why should it be destroyed? If we were to eat it, could we also live longer?"
Chu Yan asked Qin Zhao, unaware of the cultivation process of the Ginsengfruit.
Qin Zhao then explained the matter to him, her expression somewhat poignant.
"Don’t look at the Wang family’s ability to achieve longevity, they should be able to live to be two hundred years old. But Wang Shuangwei’s grandfather and uncle passed away, and their future days will also be full of trials.
His parents should be enjoying the blessings of their children and grandchildren in their old age. But now, their facial features indicate that this blessing is gone, and in the future, they are destined to toil even in their old age.
And for Wang Shuangwei, he probably still has a calamity waiting for him that will harm his body. The Heavenly Dao is always fair. If you obtain something you shouldn’t have, it will take some benefits back."
Chu Yan never believed in karma; he only believed in himself.
After hearing Qin Zhao’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, "Then what is supposed to be ours, and what is not? Why do some people, kind their whole lives, never receive good fortune until their death?"
"Because death is not the end, ah, and people don’t just live one lifetime. If one suffers hardships in this life but still maintains their true heart and treats others with kindness, they will definitely receive good fortune in the next life.
If you have lost a lot, just hold on, and one day, spring will surely come."
"Hold on, and one day, spring will come?"
His long, dark lashes drooped slightly, casting a deep shadow beneath his eyes.
After a long time, he let out a soft chuckle.
When he raised his eyes to look at Qin Zhao, the clear coldness of his Phoenix Eyes still held an unfathomable darkness, but there was a moonbeam reflecting inside, casting Qin Zhao’s silhouette.
If such a day truly existed, then it surely was the day he met Qin Zhao.
"The matter with the Earth Evil Spirit, is it settled now?"
"It’s settled. I sent the Hellhound to help him take his revenge. If he was not successful, the Hellhound will lend him a hand. The Earth Evil Spirit, which thrives on the qi of the dead and absorbs the emanation of corpses and yin energy, doesn’t like staying in places with the living, and will probably return to the deep mountains, never to emerge again."
"Good. So, do we make do here for the night, or head back to town now?"
It was the early morning, and driving back to town at this time of night was somewhat risky.
But the Wang family’s place was rather lacking, and if they decided to stay, they would probably not have a room to sleep in.
"It’s so late, let’s just sleep here!"
Qin Zhao had not yet answered when Wang Shuangwei’s wife spoke, "You can sleep in mine and Shuangwei’s room; we’ll squeeze in together as a family on this side."
"Thank you for the trouble."
Chu Yan politely thanked them and then led Qin Zhao over.
Qin Zhao was always guarded around him.
But when they were in Wuchang Town, they had shared a room for several days.
Chu Yan liked to hold her, and sometimes he would steal a kiss, but he had never done anything more excessive.
Gradually, Qin Zhao became accustomed to it.
The room fell into darkness, and as he held her, he softly said, "Can I hold you like this forever?"
She caught her breath, not saying a word.
Qin Zhao didn’t want to respond to such a question and didn’t want to make any promises.
So, she just closed her eyes and lay motionless, pretending to sleep.
He spoke again, "The Spells you know, could you teach me? I’m afraid that one day I’ll wake up and you won’t be there, and I certainly won’t be able to find you."
Chu Yan knew she wasn’t asleep.
This time, she finally reacted, but it was to remove his hand that was holding her.
