Hua Jinyan seed to sense sothing as he looked out at the horizon, a subtle feeling coursing through him, indescribable and elusive, as if sothing had been altered in the unseen world.
At the sa ti, the great powers of this world, like Shen Cang and others, looked up at the sky, sensing sothing as well.
In the Netherworld, the Book of Life and Death held by the Judge gained three more nas.
Lord Judge appeared slightly surprised but did not dwell on it. Instead, he allocated the three nas to the nearest young ghost ssengers.
Little Braids, who was ready to continue watching the show, felt his brush tremble slightly. The book in his hand was lifted by the wind and paused on a page that already had two additional nas.
Given a new task, Little Braids waved his small hand at Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan in the villa, "I have work to do, I’m off!"
Little Taotie waved her small hand back.
Hua Jinyan nodded slightly.
Little Braids headed towards the coast, waving his hand to summon two Ghosts who floated up from the water, their eyes vacant—they were Zhuge Xunming’s parents.
anwhile, on another assignnt, the book in the ghost enforcer’s hand listed another na. He waved in a direction, summoning an elder ghost, Zhuge Xunming’s grandmother.
The ever-expressionless Zhuge Xunming suddenly changed his expression drastically. His gaze fell on his phone, where a text ssage awaited.
The phone had rung earlier, but he didn’t want to answer and dismissed the call. Shortly after, a ssage ca through.
He initially thought it was a spam ssage from an unfamiliar number, but the content sent him into a panic.
In this world, the only person who was kind to him... was gone?
Zhuge Xunming trembled slightly, alarming Helen who noticed sothing was wrong. She reached out to Zhuge Xunming with concern, only to be pushed away forcefully.
"Ah—" Helen fell backward, losing balance, but was caught by the rushing Little Taotie.
Little Taotie frowned at Zhuge Xunming, wanting to scold him but then noticing sothing off about his eyes.
Those eyes were too deep and dark.
Zhuge Xunming’s eyes, originally amber, had beco a deep black.
This change defied nature.
After all, Zhuge Xunming wasn’t wearing contact lenses.
"What’s wrong with you?" Little Taotie asked in confusion.
Hua Jinyan approached Little Taotie, his gaze fixed on Zhuge Xunming.
At this mont, the Yin Qi within the villa was heavy, gathering towards one direction.
Little Taotie watched in shock as the intertwined black and gray Yin Qi surrounded Zhuge Xunming, seemingly being absorbed by him.
"Why is this happening?" Little Taotie looked towards Hua Jinyan, eyes filled with bewildernt.
Zhuge Xunming was a living person, how could he absorb Yin Qi?
He wasn’t a Ghost, how could he take in so much?
For a Ghost Cultivator, this Yin Qi might be the best source for cultivation, but Zhuge Xunming was alive, and shouldn’t be able to do this.
Hua Jinyan was also puzzled.
A Qing Luan perched on the villa’s roof, flapping its wings, narrowing its mysterious obsidian-like eyes, absorbing an endless stream of Yin Qi into its body.
If one were to look from the front of the villa, seeing through its structure, they would find that the position Qing Luan was standing in was directly above Zhuge Xunming.
The pupil of the bird and the human were almost identical, absorbing Yin Qi at the sa rate, slowly... assimilating.
Little Taotie attempted to reach out to Zhuge Xunming, trying to interrupt his absorption of the Yin Qi, but her hand was blocked by an invisible barrier, as if she had touched a layer of glass.
