The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 503: Osmanthus Cakes at the Chubby Brother’s House

——

Five years later.

Spirit Cultivation Realm, Ghost Realm.

"Grandpa Ghost, Grandpa Ghost, when will my mother come out? I haven’t seen her for three months~" A little girl with round eyes and a chubby face was tugging on the sleeve of the Ghost Ancestor, swinging it back and forth.

The Ghost Ancestor was not the least bit annoyed. Instead, he squatted down with a smile, patiently comforting her, "Xiao Xue, don’t worry. Your mother will definitely come out in a few days!"

Xiao Xue pouted her pink lips in dissatisfaction, "You said the same thing two months ago and the same thing one month ago. Grandpa Ghost, you’re lying again! I’m not going to talk to you!"

The Ghost Ancestor was stumped, and in a placating tone said, "Little sweetheart, little darling, how about Grandpa Ghost takes you to town to play? I’ll buy you some candied hawthorn?"

If outsiders were present, they probably wouldn’t believe that this overly flattering old man, who’s said to be ruthless and difficult to deal with, was indeed the legendary Ghost Ancestor.

However, it really was him, and when faced with the adorable Xiao Xue, his ice-cold heart felt like it had melted into soft, sweet cotton candy.

Thus, any sense of dignity or principles had long ceased to exist!

As soon as Xiao Xue heard candied hawthorn, her eyes lit up: "Then let’s go now!"

The Ghost Realm is located in the southwest of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, amidst black swamps. The area is desolate, filled with miasma and eerie ghostly aura. Even Spirit Cultivators dare not intrude, as they might be engulfed by ghost spirits hidden in the swamps at any moment. Legend has it that the Ghost Realm is a gathering place for malevolent spirits that cannot reincarnate. Some powerful malevolent spirits can absorb other ghost spirits and eventually transform into Ghost Beasts that specifically devour the Spirit Cores of Spirit Cultivators.

There are also other unique creatures that have evolved in the Ghost Realm, some of which are intelligent while others are not. Ghost Realm Spirit Worms are considered one of the more intelligent spiritual insects.

Therefore, unless someone possesses extremely high power, they do not have the courage to venture into the Ghost Realm. A small mistake could result in becoming a meal for Ghost Beasts or other unique creatures.

Little Xiao Xue, forced to live in the Ghost Realm for years, most eagerly desired to go out and play. However, she was always under watch, never allowed to leave. If she tried to sneak out, she would be tattled on to her mother. In the whole Ghost Realm, everyone spoiled her endlessly, never hitting or scolding her, except for her mother, who would spank her without mercy.

Under the oppressive violence of Han Jing, it was extremely difficult for little Xiao Xue to go out and have fun. Therefore, going out to play was far more tempting than anything else to her.

Xiao Xue hugged the Ghost Ancestor’s neck sweetly and adorably, "Grandpa Ghost, let’s go now. I want to eat candied hawthorn. I also want to play with the chubby brother from the family that sells osmanthus cake in Ghost Immortal Town. I promised to show him some bugs, and he said he’d give me three pieces of osmanthus cake in return."

Outside the Ghost Realm, the nearest town is Ghost Immortal Town, adjacent to the Ghost Realm. Xiao Xue often goes out to play when everyone goes to restock supplies. This time, she hadn’t gone out for almost half a month and was bored out of her mind.

Ah, she really wants to eat some osmanthus cake!

The Ghost Ancestor could never resist the adorable look and voice of the little girl, nodding repeatedly and shamelessly, "Alright, alright, whatever our Xiao Xue wants to eat, Grandpa Ghost will take you!"
