The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 428 It smells so good! (╯▽╰) (2nd update)
The old lady of the Wang family, also known as Liang Qin, had a well-maintained face, but there was no warmth in it. She looked particularly cold and indifferent.

"Yes, this reminds me of the time when I wasn't such a vicious woman. Back then, the third boy would sweetly call me 'Auntie.' But things changed so much later, and I became the person he hated the most..."

The housekeeper stood quietly behind her. Her life was tied to the old lady; what did it matter to her whether other people lived or died?

After pondering for a while, Liang Qin stopped fiddling with the prayer beads in her hand, a cold smile appearing on her face: "Since we're enemies now, we should naturally strike while the iron is hot and take his life!"

As Liang Qin finished speaking, the few people who had been kneeling in the shadows, seemingly devoid of any life force, vanished in an instant.

The towering light, which might be inconspicuous in the city center, is quite noticeable in the mountains like this.

Many servants lived in the old house, and soon they all came out.

"What happened on the main peak? Why is there such a light show?"

"I don't know. I heard that martial law was in effect over there and no one could get close easily. Could they be carrying out some kind of secret activity?"

"Shh, don't ask. Someone mentioned something about the main peak and got caught and sent elsewhere. The treatment here at the old house is good, I don't want to go anywhere else."

……

Aside from the core servants, only they knew about Wang Mian's accident; the other servants were not allowed to inquire freely.

Now, they have no idea that even bigger changes are about to occur at the Wang family's old residence.

Yunran took out the incense that was still left from the previous competition, lit it with a flick of her finger.

As a wisp of green smoke rose, the remnant soul that had been clinging tightly to Wang Mian's body loosened its grip slightly.

Yunran was very patient. If a familiar person could be recognized by the little jade bottle, then they were not some shallow, wandering ghost. A little temptation was not enough.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Ran released a few more golden rays of merit, the fragrance of which made the remnant soul drool.

Unexpectedly, there was still merit burning behind. Even if one is rational, one is still just a remnant soul and cannot have complete thoughts.

Mo Zhi inside the jade tablet was also drooling with desire, but she knew better than anyone that she couldn't come out to cause trouble or beg for food at this time.

Now that she's a ghost with her own territory, she has to maintain her dignity and not lose face. Otherwise, what will she do if Master Yun abandons her?

But it smells so good! (╯▽╰)

Finally, having no other choice, Mo Zhi had to knock herself unconscious so she wouldn't be able to smell the fragrance.

Yun Ran's entire focus was on that remnant soul.

Using a small cleansing bottle to collect it might frighten the remnant spirit, which would be bad if it were one of our own.

After a while, the remnant soul could no longer bear the fragrance and slowly released Wang Mian, gradually peeking out.

But Yunran seemed not to have seen it at all. If it were any other guy, he would have been killed the moment he showed his face.

Sensing no danger outside, even with a living person as big as Yun Ran present, the remnant soul somehow felt that this person wouldn't harm it.

Now, it became even bolder, and in no time, half of its head popped out. That's right, it only had half a head; the other half was just a phantom.

The aroma seemed to be guiding it, not wasting a single drop, and swirled directly into the remnant soul's mouth. It was alright when it wasn't eating; at least it could bear it. But once it did eat, it was unbearable.

The remnant soul separated from Wang Mian's body at a slightly faster pace, and its neck was now visible.

Unfortunately, the remnant soul looked rather pathetic, and even now, Yun Ran still couldn't see its appearance clearly.

However, the aura of this remnant soul confirmed Yun Ran's suspicion that this guy was indeed from Qingfeng Temple.

Judging from its completeness, it must have been a spirit puppet made by some junior brothers and sisters, or at least a half-finished product, which is why it looks so silly.

Meanwhile, Ginseng Fruit, who was eating in the lounge, was watching cartoons on a tablet and occasionally glanced at A-Yu not far away.

Almost instantly, Ayu noticed the ginseng fruit's gaze.

Ginseng Fruit's current childlike appearance is truly deceptive. Even though A-Yu noticed his gaze, she didn't take it seriously and instead gave Ginseng Fruit a warm smile.

"Just tell me what else you'd like to eat, and I'll have the chef make it for you."

Although the Wang family's old house is located in the mountains, it is home to most of the world's finest ingredients; you can find almost anything you want here.

After swallowing the last bite of his snack, Ginseng Fruit said, "Someone is coming this way, and your people are definitely no match for them!"

The smile on A Yu's face immediately disappeared. He did not ignore what Ren Shenguo said just because Ren Shenguo was a child.

He simply took out his phone; the entire defense of the main peak was in his hands.

In his eyes, there was no such thing as a blind spot on the entire main peak.

After turning on his phone, Ayu clearly saw that several surveillance cameras were blacked out, but he had not received any alerts, which was very strange!

Thinking this, it did not affect his actions at all. Almost instantly, Ayu pressed the emergency defense button.

Those high-voltage lines, hidden in various places and known only to a few people, were suddenly connected.

In a mountain hollow, a dark figure, like a monkey, leaped effortlessly through the trees, about to overcome another obstacle.

With a crackling sound of electricity, the dark figure fell straight down from the tree trunk, which was seven or eight meters high.

A faint smell of something burning could be faintly detected in the surroundings.

Many small animals nearby strained their ears to listen to the commotion, almost the instant the dark figure fell.

The little animals seemed to immediately sense the danger signal and darted into the bushes.

Ginseng Fruit was wondering whether he should intervene if those things that didn't quite look like living people actually came.

After all, the host is busy right now and certainly doesn't have time to deal with these people. Who would have thought that the Wang family has such dangerous methods?

Immediately, I felt relieved. Even if I didn't look like a living person, I was still a carbon-based life form and couldn't withstand such high voltage.

Before long, the dark figures that had reached the halfway point of the mountain were stopped one after another by the high-voltage electricity, and the alarm system remained as if it were dead.

Ayu narrowed her eyes, beckoned a few people over, gave them a few instructions, and then personally led them to investigate.
