282 A Painful Long Wait
Qin Xi was not afraid. Moreover, in her eyes, these evil things were all great tonics to boost her cultivation. It had to be noted that the reason why she stayed in Brezze Villa was because the geographical location there was very suitable for cultivation.
Last time, her cultivation advanced because she had devoured a malicious ghost. However, this thing was too rare. It was not something that could be found easily.
This malicious ghost came just at the right time. After devouring this one, her cultivation would definitely take a leap.
At the thought of this, she quietly summoned the Chain of Darkness. The Chain of Darkness seemed to have its own consciousness and quickly hid in the thick night.
Qin Xi alighted from the car and looked around casually. Sensing the dense Yin energy in the air, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Perhaps only she could smile under such circumstances.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind her. Then, a bloody hand suddenly stretched out from the grass and grabbed the grass tightly, as if it was struggling violently or crying for help in despair.
In short, Qin Xi did not move. Her gaze landed on a certain spot in the sky where a phantom appeared.
“Are you going to come out on your own, or should I get you out?”
The phantom instantly disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already floating in front of Qin Xi. Its voice was sinister and sharp, making it impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman. “You can see me?”
Sensing the chilling air coming at her, Qin Xi only took a step back and stared at it. “You shouldn’t be here. You should know very well that you can’t hold on for long. If you don’t return to where you belong, your soul will dissipate very quickly. If you want, I can send you back.”
This phantom would dissipate into nothingness before long. Once it disappeared, it would completely lose the chance to reincarnate.
Unexpectedly, when it heard that, the phantom swayed and the Yin energy emitted from its body rolled out like thick smoke.
“No, I can’t leave… I can’t leave. You… since you can see me, can you help me find someone? I’ve been waiting for him here for ten years. In these ten years, he has never come here.”
This phantom was clearly very excited, but because Qin Xi was the only person who could see it, it didn’t want to scare her too much.
Qin Xi could hear the pain and urgency in its voice and frowned. “Who are you waiting for? And why are you waiting?”
“His name is Huang Bo. He’s the person I love the most. Back then, my parents didn’t allow us to be together and even wanted to marry me to an old man in his sixties. I resisted with all my might and ended up being locked up by my family.
“Later on, he came to look for me and wanted to elope with me. I agreed. We met at Bald Mountain. I waited for him for the entire night, but he didn’t show up. Instead, two men came and… After that, I was too ashamed to see him again and committed suicide here…”
“I don’t have any other requests. I just want to ask why he didn’t come to meet me back then. Even after I died, he never came. I know he had his reasons, but I was unwilling to leave just like that, so I kept waiting for him.”
“I don’t want to hurt anyone. I just want someone to help me!”
Hearing its story, Qin Xi’s heart inexplicably sank. She thought for a moment and said, “What are you going to do if he lied to you or he didn’t show up deliberately?”
“That’s impossible. He loves me very much. How can he lie to me… You, are you saying that because you don’t want to help me?”
The phantom was agitated, and its voice became sharper and sharper, making one’s ears hurt.
Qin Xi did not want to agitate the phantom. She shrugged and said, “I’m just guessing. Of course, if he didn’t lie to you, that would be great.”
