I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 510 - 206: First Incense Offering, Changing Fate (5k)_2

Chapter 510: Chapter 206: First Incense Offering, Changing Fate (5k)_2

Everything was to avoid getting lost in the Nether Path.

Unlike Wen Yan, who had it so easy—he just found a special ghost to show the way.

Too bad Wen Yan isn’t one of their Mount Qingcheng people. Too bad, that bunch of old geezers from Fuyu Mountain, how did they move so fast!

He even secretly asked around—Wen Yan wasn’t with Fuyu Mountain a few months ago.

Thinking about this, Qing Xuzi felt regretful. What’s worse, he’d actually met Wen Yan years ago, yet somehow didn’t spot anything special back then.

If only he’d brought Wen Yan into Qingcheng, wouldn’t that mean Wen Yan’s son would be part of Qingcheng too?

The thought of Wen Yan’s terrifyingly talented son—still a baby, already forging his Spirit Platform Dao Foundation. Ridiculous.

If he’d managed to bring father and son into Qingcheng, once he died, every year at the ancestor’s memorial, besides the founder, it’d be unforgivable if the first incense didn’t go to him.

The more he thought about missing the chance for that first incense, the gloomier Qing Xuzi felt.

What’s worse, he really had no one to blame but himself, because the opportunity had literally been right in front of him years ago, and he didn’t grab it.

He wanted to snipe at Fuyu Mountain a little, but couldn’t even get the words out.

Qing Xuzi let out a sigh, and when he turned to see the Red Skirt Ghost, all that regret vanished, replaced instantly with renewed energy.

The Red Skirt Ghost shrank her neck, looking even more terrified.

...

Wen Yan followed the Grave Walker, traversing the Nether Path, steady and smooth the whole way—no issues at all.

Plus, it felt like they were moving even faster than before.

Stepping out from the desolate tomb, Wen Yan glanced at the time, a bit surprised.

"Oh, this time it only took ten minutes. No wonder it felt like you got here faster."

"Heh, all thanks to you. I’ve definitely gotten stronger lately, so the trip took less time, could even find a shorter route." The Grave Walker scratched his head, a little bashful. He’s been sticking with Wen Yan in the Netherworld night and day, always got a share at Wen Yan’s meals, every time blessed with Yang energy—hard not to get stronger.

Wen Yan patted Grave Walker on the shoulder, smiling.

"Getting stronger’s good. Things are getting more and more chaotic now—so many weird ghosts popping up, some are very dangerous. Stronger means you’ll have better odds protecting yourself."

As he spoke, he casually blessed the Grave Walker with a burst of Yang energy for him to slowly digest.

If you ask someone for help, buying them a meal is just basic courtesy.

The Grave Walker didn’t refuse, cheerfully told Wen Yan to just call if anything else came up—after all, whenever he helps Wen Yan out, Lord Zhu is happy to see it.

And those Lord Zhu disapproves of can’t even get in touch with him anyway. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

When Wen Yan came out, there was already a car waiting up ahead. He got into the Guanzhong County’s Scorching Sun Department car and rode out to one of the department’s sites on the outskirts.

Within a hundred meters of the place, there wasn’t a soul. Only a few folks—those who hadn’t hit bad luck or danger yet—were left guarding the site.

The minister of Guanzhong County himself had come to the front lines, holding down the fort here.

The moment he saw Wen Yan, the minister came up first and shook Wen Yan’s hand in greeting.

After a couple words of small talk, Wen Yan got right to the point.

"What exactly is going on?"

"You better take a look for yourself—you’ll get it right away."

Wen Yan glanced at the monitors. In a small house in the distance, there sat a female ghost, eyes closed and smiling, chains growing out of her body and piercing into Nan Yuncai’s Soul Body, fusing together to bind him tightly to her side.

The female ghost was completely motionless, utterly quiet. Nan Yuncai kept struggling, but could never escape her embrace.

Now Wen Yan understood why Guanzhong County’s Scorching Sun Department hadn’t tried to contain her—there was simply no need.

Nan Yuncai was already completely locked down.

"Our scene investigators and the forensic team are working as fast as they can.

So far, it’s confirmed that the female deceased—Nan Yuncai’s wife—has been dead for over twenty-four hours.

Thing is, when she died, her obsession was just too strong—she didn’t even realize she was dead.

We questioned the nanny. She said, during the day, the wife was still eating, but no matter what she ate, it came right back up.

She was already dead—of course she couldn’t eat the living’s food, couldn’t digest it.

The urine she used for the pregnancy test was leftover from when she was alive.

She’s one of the rare ones who, not knowing she’d died, could still control her own body in ghost form."

"She turned out like this—does that have anything to do with Nan Yuncai?"

"Preliminary autopsy suggests it was the night before last—a cerebral infarction, sudden death.

But after consulting specialists, from a fate perspective—they say she was killed by her closest, Nan Yuncai, fated to be suppressed by him.

But her obsession was so strong, she didn’t know she was dead, so yesterday, she acted as normal.

By today, when Nan Yuncai’s luck bottomed out, he suffered the backlash, got his artery bitten through by his wife, died of blood loss.

As for the chains, those weren’t forced onto him by the female ghost—it’s because he himself was willing, so that bond was built, utterly unbreakable."

When Wen Yan heard the words "was willing," his face instantly turned cold.

He remembered what Lord Zhu had told him—Hao Mingyang ended up like this, most likely also because he was willing.

But the result?

Wen Yan thought about it, didn’t bring up Lord Zhu, but shared all his thoughts about the "was willing" theory.

Then they talked some more about Hao Mingyang.

"That guy is too dangerous—seemingly untouchable, unknowable, and brings misfortune to whoever’s involved.
