Chapter 69: Superb Acting Skills
Seeing that Yun Qin mastered the preliminary technique to find the Soul Bead in her consciousness, the elder said indifferently, “As for that stone coffin, it’s just a vessel used to carry the Soul Bead. There’s nothing special about it. Just a relic left in the tomb.”
Yun Qin wanted to ask about the strange male corpse in the stone coffin that had the same abilities as her, but after hearing the elder’s comment that there was nothing special about it, she shut her mouth resentfully.
At this point in their conversation, both of them had their own worries, it was the elder who spoke first. “Alright, I told you everything I know. Now, can you explain to me how you treated my injuries just now?”
Yun Qin was a little surprised that the elder was concerned about this. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly realized why.
Among all ghosts, evil energy was their power that allowed them to exist in the world. It was almost the same as a human’s lifespan.
If ghosts wanted to obtain the evil energy, they have to absorb it themselves.
However, absorbing evil energy that was generated naturally in the world was not the way. Therefore, some ghosts would target humans and other ghosts.
After all, among ghosts, evil energy could not be transferred freely. So, even though Yun Qin can easily transfer evil energy around, her ability to do so was surprising for ghosts, because to them, that was the same as “exchanging lifespan”.
Looking at the elder’s piercing gaze, Yun Qin wanted to tell him everything, but she could not do so.
After all, she signed a confidentiality agreement with Hades. If she violated it, he would immediately kill her.
Therefore, Yun Qin said, “It should be because of my special constitution. I am both a human and a ghost, so I don’t fall under the Law of Heaven.”
The elder was deep in thought. Yun Qin wanted to return the favor of him telling her about the Soul Bead, so she activated her “Insight” ability and said, “You were attacked by other ghosts and damaged your soul. Therefore, you cannot retain evil energy in your body. Now, evil energy is draining out of your body and you can’t absorb more evil energy, right?”
Hearing this, the elder also nodded regretfully. Then, a little hope appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Yun Qin.
“You have a way to save me?”
Although transferring evil energy was a piece of cake for Yun Qin, she knew highly intelligent creatures were suspicious by nature, so she pretended to be troubled and said, “Of course I have a way, but it’s quite difficult, I’m afraid…”
Then, she looked at the elder with determination and said gratefully, “If you didn’t tell me that the Soul Bead was in my body, the Soul Bead would have killed me in the future. I will do my best to repay your kindness!”
The elder fell for Yun Qin’s trick. He said in a daze, “It wasn’t really kindness, just a small favor. If you can save me, my clan will definitely repay you. ”
Yun Qin immediately declined. “No need, no need. I just ask you to take care of that little black furball. It hasn’t lived with its clan for a long time, so it may not know how to live with others, I’ll have to trouble you…”
Therefore, under Yun Qin’s superb acting skills, she had a pleasant chat with the elder. Since Yun Qin had to rush back to see Song Yin, she immediately agreed to treat the elder’s injuries on the spot.
After learning that Yun Qin could save the elder who was on the verge of death, the entire clan was in an uproar. They all ran to the big tree with their families, and the lively crowd gathered around to look at Yun Qin.
Using the hidden ghost clan’s language, many hidden ghosts expressed their doubts towards Yun Qin. The little black furball retorted back. It was a very lively scene.
However, in Yun Qin’s eyes, she only saw a pile of fur balls squeezing against each other. She didn’t hear any sound.
Surrounded by hidden ghosts, Yun Qin pretended to undergo a complicated healing process.
After reciting a series of fabricated incantations, Yun Qin suddenly burst into laughter. Wasn’t this what she did when she was catching ghosts?
This was how people’s minds were. Things that were supposed to be simple had to be dealt with in a complicated manner before they were convinced. Only then did they feel that the results were not easy to come by.
It seemed that even the hidden ghosts, who were extremely intelligent, also had such a problem.
Yun Qin released a wave of evil energy and slowly injected it into elder Yin Gui’s body.
She could not treat the wound on his soul. All she could do now was to try her best to fill the elder’s body with evil energy. This way, even if evil energy was still flowing out of his wound, it would not immediately endanger his life.
Seeing countless pairs of small eyes staring at her, Yun Qin immediately put on a frown, pretending as if it was very difficult for her to do so.
Sensing that the elder’s body was already partially filled with evil energy, Yun Qin extracted more evil energy from her body, sending it to the elder.
However, as she increased the amount of evil energy, Yun Qin immediately discovered the problem.
