Nu Yuan said this calmly, without a hint of sarcasm.

She said she wanted to help Luo Bai, but in fact she just wanted Luo Bai to help them more easily. As the god of plague, she could possess the bodies of rich people to obtain treasures according to human wishes, but her sister Ziyuan would only bring misfortune, and even if she possessed the body of a human, she would usually not gain anything.

It was impossible for her to stay with Ziyuan all the time, so she had to go out eventually. But after going out, she was not very reassured because of Ziyuan's personality.

He felt so inferior that he didn't even dare to speak loudly to his sister. If he wasn't a god, he would not be able to survive.

That's why she wanted to live closer to Luo Bai. Regardless of whether Luo Bai really wanted to help them or not, at least they would live better under Luo Bai's supervision.

Of course, given her personality, it was impossible for her to admit it.

"Since you said so, I can only agree." Luo Bai smiled gently. He saw the interaction between the two and understood the meaning of Nu Yuan's actions.

But since Nu Yuan was unwilling to say it, he was happy to watch the situation continue to develop.

This was the first time he had seen someone as tsundere as this.

"Well, thank you very much." Nu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"If there's nothing else, then we'll leave and not disturb you while you're getting ready. And to prevent you from losing track of us later, we'll stay here for the duration. How about that?"

"Okay, then you guys go. I'll come find you after the next thing is settled." Luo Bai didn't plan to continue talking. After all, they would really be neighbors in the future, and it wouldn't be too late to talk about anything later.

If nothing unexpected happens, Huashan will come to find him next. Huashan has been away for quite a while now, and he probably has to say goodbye to Suixiang and the others.

After saying hello, Nuyuan took Shiyuan, who kept looking back, and left. Luo Bai looked at the buildings around him that were destroyed into this state by Xingxiong Yugi despite his protection, and snapped his fingers.

Then time passed, the surroundings slowly returned to normal, and Luo Bai's figure disappeared.

Chapter 116 I Don’t Want to Be a Ghost Anymore!

They came and went in a hurry, and the monsters returned along the same way they came, carrying the corpses of their acquaintances.

Although I don’t know why some of my companions disappeared without a trace, I didn’t think much about it and just assumed that they were beaten so badly that even their bodies could not be found.

After a moment of silence for their companions, they continued to laugh happily and even started a banquet after returning.

"Suixiang, why are you alone here? Where is Huashan?" Hoshiguma Yugi walked over to Suixiang, who looked drunk, holding a bowl of wine.

"Hua Shan had something to do, so she left halfway. Yong Yi, didn't you notice?"

Although Suixiang looks drunk, her mind is still very clear.

"Haha, it's because I was having so much fun fighting before that I forgot about it." Xingxiong Yugi laughed, but didn't care much.

It’s hard to say how strong Hua Shan is, but if he takes it seriously, he should have no problem dealing with one or two big monsters of the same level.

"Did Hua Shan say when he would be back? If he's late, he won't be able to make it to the banquet."

"There's no need to wait. She probably won't be back for a while." Suixiang drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and lay on the ground with a flushed face. "Maybe I won't even recognize her if I see her again in the future."

Unrecognizable? How is that possible? They are all ghosts. Their characteristics and aura cannot be changed, or rather, no ghost is willing to change.

Yugi didn't understand what Suika meant for a moment, so he just brushed it off as a joke.

"Alright then, I won't wait any longer. I'm going to go drink with the boys first. If Suika wants to join us, you can always come."

As he said that, Yugi picked up the wine bowl and walked back. Suixiang was still lying on the ground with her eyes slightly closed.

......

In the bamboo forest, Luo Bai and Hua Shan sat opposite each other.

Hua Shan no longer had the arrogance of the ghost clan in the past, but was instead very quiet.

No one knew why the wound on the arm hadn't healed. Luo Bai observed it carefully and found no toxins. With the ghost's body, it should have recovered long ago.

However, after thinking about the appearance of the Chinese fan in the Impressions book, I also had some guesses.

"So what are you here for?" Luo Bai said softly.

"I want to ask you for a favor. After that, no matter what you want me to do, I can accept it." Hua Shan's face was serious, and there was no trace of distracting thoughts in his eyes.

"Okay, tell me what it is first."

Hua Shan raised his injured arm slightly.

"I want you to help me cut off this arm. I will gather all my ghost clan aura into this arm. Please help me cut it off so that I can temporarily get rid of my ghost clan identity.

Because my power is concentrated in it, I can't cut it off myself. But if I leave it to Suika and the others, I will feel that I am not worthy of them.

So can I ask you for help?"

Luo Bai was silent for a moment, "Of course I can, but why do you want to do this?"

"because of you."

"Because of me?" Luo Bai's face turned strange.

"That's right. The emotions you made me feel before have always remained in my mind. Even when fighting or drinking, I can't forget them. So I want to temporarily leave my identity as a ghost and feel those emotions carefully. Maybe I can gain better results."

Hua Shan was not joking. When she was fighting before, even though she felt the exhilaration of fighting, those emotions would come to her mind from time to time, affecting her movements.

Otherwise, with her strength, it would be impossible for her to be chopped by a samurai who was not even a big monster at that time.

"Get rid of your ghost identity? But even if I cut off your arm that carries the ghost clan's aura, it still can't change the fact that you are a ghost." Luo Bai was a little confused. The ghost clan's physique is innate. Unless you change your body or evolve on this basis, it cannot be changed even if the ghost clan's aura and ability are eliminated.

"Also, if you find those emotions bothersome, I can clear them away for you. There's no need to give up your identity as a ghost."

"No, no need to clear it." Hua Shan shook her head and laughed. "It would be so boring to just clear it out. How can I miss the chance to experience other emotions? It's so fun."

Most ghosts like drinking and fighting. Even if they occasionally use their brains, they are just thinking about finding more battles and more good wine. Even she before was no exception.

So now that she has this rare opportunity to experience other things, she doesn't want to give it up.

And if these emotions did not affect her fighting ability as a ghost, she would not be willing to give up her identity as a ghost.

For every ghost, the identity of a ghost is an honor. Those who are born as ghosts but abandon their identity as ghosts will be despised by the entire ghost clan. Even she had said this to Luo Bai before.

However, she could still accept temporarily abandoning her ghost identity to pursue interesting things.

That's why Luo Bai cut off her arm instead of destroying it directly.

When she has experienced all these emotions and feels bored with them, she can reattach her arm at any time, restore her identity as a ghost, and become one of the four ghost kings of Dajiang Mountain again.

It's no wonder he's a ghost. He can do such crazy things in pursuit of fun.

Hua Shan's behavior once again deepened Luo Bai's impression of the ghost clan, but he did not intend to reject Hua Shan.

It is not certain whether Hua Shan will be willing to turn back into a ghost after he truly experiences the seven emotions and six desires of humans.

"Since you've said that, I won't try to persuade you any further. I can agree to your request. As for the reward, don't worry about it for now. I don't need you to do anything right now. We can decide later."

"Okay." Hua Shan agreed without hesitation.

Pursuing interesting things will naturally cause a lot of trouble. It is enough that Luo Bai is willing to help her solve the identity problem. She doesn't care about the reward. As long as he doesn't let her hurt her friends, everything is fine.

"Okay, then start preparing. I can take action at any time." Luo Bai looked indifferent. Hua Shan didn't care, so he naturally had nothing to say.

Hua Shan nodded slightly and closed her eyes.

The energy in the body, along with some of the characteristics of the ghost clan, began to gather on the right arm, and soon the right arm turned into a thick ink color.

A few drops of water faintly appeared on his forehead, and Hua Shan opened his eyes.

"Okay, come on."

Luo Bai smiled lightly, raised his palm, and brought it down towards Hua Shan's right arm.

"..."

Hua Shan looked at his empty right arm with a confused look on his face, as if he still didn't understand what was going on.

"It's over already? Why doesn't it hurt at all?"

"Of course I blocked your pain temporarily. If you're willing, I can help you again and let you feel it."

As he spoke, Luo Bai raised his palm again, as if he wanted Hua Shan to feel the sensation of a broken arm as his words said.

"No, no." Hua Shan quickly waved his hand to refuse.

It wasn't because she was afraid. She had experienced this level of pain many times, but there was no need to experience it again.

Besides, she has now lost her original ghost abilities, and only her body is still a ghost body. If she were to experience it again, she cannot guarantee that her current willpower can withstand it.

If the body's resistance does not exist, then something ugly will be revealed.

"I was just a little surprised, that's all. It's not something I want to experience again."

"Forget it. I originally wanted to see if you can handle it now." Luo Bai looked at Hua Shan with some regret.

Now should be the time when Hua Shan's will is the weakest except for the period when he was just born. If he really shows some interesting expressions, he can save it as a topic of conversation in the future.

"Let's just forget about that situation."

Hua Shan looked at Luo Bai speechlessly, and suddenly felt that the impression of Luo Bai in her mind was shattered.

At the beginning, he was able to control himself easily, and later he was still calm in the face of both humans and demons, which gave her the feeling of a master. But now looking at Luo Bai's appearance, it seems that he has ulterior motives.

However, as soon as this thought came into his mind, Hua Shan was a little surprised.

If she was a ghost before, she would have let Luo Bai try it without any hesitation after hearing what Luo Bai said, and would not have cared so much about her image.

Because unless it is necessary, ghosts generally will not refuse other people's requests, and will accompany them whether it is fighting or drinking.

But now, not only did she refuse, she also had some fearful thoughts. Even if she was afraid of making a fool of herself, it was still fear, which would never happen in the past.

So does this method really work?

Hua Shan felt a little happy inside.

Originally, she was worried that this method might not succeed. After all, it only stripped away the abilities and aura, and the body was still that of a ghost.

Could it be that their abilities actually influence their personalities? Or perhaps it's the aura they've acquired from being around other ghosts since birth?

Hua Shan wasn't very clear either, but he didn't start thinking about it immediately.

"By the way, since this gang is already busy, can you continue to help out a little longer?"

"What help?" Luo Bai was a little confused.

Hua Shan pointed at himself, seeming a little embarrassed.

"I have no abilities right now, and I have no place to live. Plus, my arm was just broken and hasn't recovered yet, so... can I stay here for a while?"

Hua Shan, who was a ghost before, came to Luo Bai to do this without any preparation. Now that the task is completed, he finds that there are still many more things to be solved.

For example, how to deal with the horns that still exist on the head after no longer being a ghost, and also need to find other ways to make ends meet.

But it's embarrassing to ask her to go back to Suixiang for help now, so she can only trouble Luo Bai again.

"It won't take long. My ghost physique is still there, so I will recover quickly. I can leave after my arm recovers. During this time, you can also imprison me here like before. I will not take the initiative to disturb the two people in the room."

Seeing that Luo Bai didn't say anything, Hua Shan thought that Luo Bai was afraid that she would stay here too long and affect them, so she hurriedly explained.

She didn't care much about it before, but now that she is no longer affected by the ghost clan's aura, she quickly figured out the relationship between the people here.

Two women and a man are living in seclusion here, and their relationship is so good, they must be husband and wife.

If she stayed here, even if Luo Bai and the others didn't say anything, she would feel inappropriate. After all, she and Luo Bai were at most friends. It was okay for him to visit occasionally, but it was a bit too much to stay here for a long time.

But she was overthinking it a bit.

Neither Meikou nor Kaguya said anything when she was still a ghost, and they would say nothing even less now that she is in this state.

"I don't mind you staying here. If you want, I can even get you a house."

Luo Bai shook his head slightly. After all, Hua Shan was a beautiful girl. As long as she didn't cause him any trouble, it was fine to look at her every day. Although there were Kaguya and Meihong, he could also look at her, but he still had to see something new.

"I was thinking that now that you have lost your abilities, even if you recover and leave, where can you go? And how will you deal with danger?

If you cover up a little, ordinary humans won't be able to tell that you're a ghost, but Onmyoji and the like can still easily see it.

And with your strength, your appearance has probably spread among the Onmyojis long ago. If they find you, you won't be able to escape.

After all, reattaching a broken arm is not something that can be done quickly."

"Well...I will try my best to avoid them." Hua Shan's tone was also somewhat helpless.

There's nothing that can be done about it. She killed a lot of people when she was against humans before. It's certain that her portrait is circulating among Onmyoji.

While it's not impossible to experience these emotions when interacting with monsters, most monsters follow the law of the jungle. Those who know her are fine; seeing her strength change won't have too many thoughts. But if a monster who doesn't know her sees her, she's like a walking tonic.

With such a good physique but without the corresponding strength, he is simply a walking Tang Monk.

Only by going to the human world, a place that is relatively peaceful compared to the monsters, can you better experience emotions.
