When the Botchling at the end of the corridor saw Li Chu, it arched its back like an enraged animal, its white pupils glowing red.

Ordinary Botchlings’ grievances were mostly directed at their mothers, but this one right here should only be directed at the father. So it was more aggressive towards men.

Li Chu thought to himself.

Of course, it mattered little. Pitiful and hateful existence like the Botchlings must not be allowed to live in this world.

The earlier the deliverance, the quicker it can reincarnate.

It was all for the good of the child.

An unknown number of eyes peeking from behind the window at the situation outside.

Those who were fainthearted had just fainted, but there were still many gutsy ones who witnessed the ferocity of ghosts.

Just now, when Li Xinyi came out, no one said a word. But when Li Chu went out there, a woman could not help but shout in a whisper, “Good luck, Daoist Li!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound was heard.

It seemed that someone had slapped the woman somewhere for fear that she would provoke the ghost.

Li Chu heard it, nodded towards the source of the sound, and said politely, “Thank you.”

When the other women heard that, they could not help but call out at once.

“Good luck, Yong Daoist Li!”

“You’re the best, Young Daoist Li!”

“I want to have a baby with you, Young Daoist Li!”

“Eh, stop your self-seeking behavior.”

“Don’t worry, Young Daoist Li. We love you no matter if you win or lose!”

Inside the ghastly corridor where all the lights were out, the wind was howling, and the blood was flowing.

Nevertheless, it suddenly turned into a strange and warm atmosphere because of Li Chu’s appearance.

Li Chu nodded summarily. “Thank you, ladies.”

Li Xinyi put her hand to her forehead. “Are these people not afraid of death when they see a handsome guy? Or do they really don’t know how nasty the Botchling is?”

“Be careful, the Botchling differs from ordinary Vengeful Spirits. Its blood stream, can contaminate the implements. And every time it is hurt, it will increase the power of the Botchling blood. Beware of its sudden increase in strength.” She warned Li Chu.

Li Chu looked at her as if he wanted to say something.

But before he could speak, the Botchling opposite him had lost control.

The sudden uproar around it made it feel like… people were despising it.

‘I was abandoned, disgusted, and feared by this world. I was deprived of the right to be born.

‘You all don’t even bother to look at me now.

‘Aah —

‘From now on, I want to make the world feel the pain!’

The Botchling’s grievance reached its peak in an instant. The extreme anger made it pounce like a beast.

Rampage.

Following it was an endless, bloody vortex.

Usually, when facing a rampaging Vengeful Spirit, even the cultivators with higher strength could only retreat and dared not confront it head-on.

All of a sudden, blood was the only thing left in everyone’s vision.

The room became dead silent for a moment. Then, incessant screams rose.

They were worried about not only Li Chu’s safety but also their own. The Botchling’s evil energy was so intense that if Li Chu failed to exorcise it, no one here would be spared.

But that thing could only make a quick cry before it was muffled, as if something had clogged its mouth.

They did not know what had happened, except for seeing a more dazzling silver light filling their vision.

It was blindingly bright.

Li Xinyi stood behind the young Daoist and saw his every move clearly.

He simply drew his sword with a wave. The sword rose and fell. There was no difference from last time, as if it was just a casual move.

Compared with the horrible vortex of the blood stream in front of him, his slapdash movements seemed to be waving away the flies around him.

But apparently, this sword strike came with an abundance of light. It had a lot of substance to it.

As menacing as the blood stream was, it became a child’s play before this sword strike. It was instantly swallowed and wiped out by the sword light.

It was as if hot soup splashed onto the snow; it melted instantly.

In a sea of white light, that little black shadow had lived for more than an instant.

But it was only a moment.

After that, it was also annihilated in this sword light.

It was complete annihilation.

The Botchling’s grievance, evil, indignation, anger—all had vanished.

The sword light had vanished, too. Everything returned to normal as if it had rained snow just now.

The dust settled in the blink of an eye.

Li Chu retracted his sword, turned his head around, and continued with what he had not finished.

“Why did you allow it to increase its strength? Can’t you just kill it at once?”

He clearly remembered that in the past, when playing games, this was the best strategy for dealing with nasty characters that got tougher with every beating.

Just kill it with a high burst of power.

‘Why didn’t Li Xinyi do that since she knew the characteristics of the Botchlings?’

‘Strange.’

…

Li Xinyi’s mind was drifting. She forced a smile upon hearing this.

She could have imagined that Li Chu would destroy the Botchling, but not in such a nonchalant way.

‘Yeah, why not kill it at once since it could become stronger after every injury? What you said makes sense.’

Had it been another person, she would definitely have said, “Is this even a humanly question?”

But after Li Chu performed this sword move, Li Xinyi suddenly felt that he sounded reasonable.

‘Maybe he really thought so. Who knows?’

The surrounding uproar awakened her. Those women cheered when Li Chu had ended the battle so beautifully.

Especially after Li Chu performed his sword move, his attire, face, and every part of him looked so ethereal and refined in their eyes.

He was like a divine descending to Earth.

Who would not be moved by such a person who could protect her?

Li Xinyi quickly got herself together when she saw those women were about to run out and surround Li Chu, and that some might even offer a kiss to him.

“Don’t move yet! Keep calm! Meixiang’s Vengeful Spirit hasn’t appeared yet,” she shouted.

“She is right. Calm down!” Chun Sanniang stopped those enthusiastic women.

Li Chu hurried back to the room as if he had also felt that he had just dodged a bullet.

In the room, Zhao Liangcai shrank in the corner and asked anxiously, “Was it that Mei Xiang had just come?”

“No,” Li Xinyi said. “It was the Botchling she was pregnant with. That was your child.”

“Huh?”

Zhao Liangcai’s heart skipped a beat. He could not speak for a long while, and no one knew what was in his mind.

Then everyone waited for Meixiang’s Vengeful Spirit to show up.

The Vengeful Spirit did not have complete spiritual intelligence, nor did it have the mentality of running away when the enemy was too strong. So as long as Meixiang’s grievance was here, she would definitely come.

And they waited till dawn.

…

When the cock crowed, Wang Longqi, who had been sleeping all night, opened his eyes, yawned, and looked those people around. “Was it successful?” He had absolute confidence in Li Chu’s exorcism skill.

Zhao Liangcai had big dark circles under his eyes. “Meixiang didn’t come.”

“Huh?” Wang Longqi rubbed his chin in puzzlement. “Could it be that she have another man?”

“Impossible. She had already hooked up with you and me. Did she still need another man?” Zhao Liangcai shook his head.

But quickly, Zhou Dafu had come in a hurry.

Li Xinyi had a bad feeling about it when she saw Zhou Dafu was sweating all over.

“What’s wrong?”

“It is not good, Ms. Li. Two people have died in a family in the town’s west,” said Zhou Dafu. “Initial investigation shows that it has something to do with Vengeful Spirits.”
