The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 468: Shen Ruosui × Peach Blossom Demon Arc (10)

Shen Ruosui was sick to death of this system.

The director could have sent anyone, but no, he had to install a system in my head. I don’t know if it’s meant to supervise me or torture me!

The reason for demanding a reward is because there must not be any involvement of interests between humans and ghosts.

Especially when the owner of this body is a cultivator.

Helping this female ghost would shorten one’s lifespan.

And since I’ve come to the mortal world for trials, I similarly can’t unjustly accept any benefits from others.

I’m certainly not some money-grabbing ghost!

Emmm, but if there’s a reward, that would be best.

If I wasn’t mistaken in my earlier perception, this jade can help me restore my spiritual power, although how long this restored power will last is still unknown...

The female ghost, frightened, had her eyeballs pop out of their sockets, "I... I already can’t recall much of my memories from when I was alive, except for a head, there’s really nothing I can offer you... boo hoo hoo—"

The north wind blew, the crying sound howled!

If you want to know what it’s like when wolves cry and ghosts howl, Shen Ruosui learned it today!

"Stop! I didn’t say I wanted your life, what’s with all the crying!"

Female ghost: "...Well, even if you wanted my life, I don’t have it to give."

The female ghost weakly asked, "Then what do you want?"

The eyeball that had fallen on the ground was being eyed by her other eyeball, "Do you want an eyeball? I’ll keep one, if you don’t mind. I’m all out of options here..."

"Do I look like a pervert?" Shen Ruosui slowly stood up from the bed and stuffed the remaining half of the jade into her mouth, "Lead the way."

The female ghost was stunned, "Are you going to help me find my body? Will you take me to the top of Wuling Mountain? Will you..."

Shen Ruosui rubbed her forehead, "You must have been dead for a long time, right?"

The female ghost shook her head, "I don’t remember, I only remember that the person who killed me was Wen Ruan, nothing else."

Hmm, what a deeply felt resentment, not even remembering who she was, yet remembering Wen Ruan so clearly.

Following the female ghost to the top of Wuling Mountain, Shen Ruosui encountered the Peach Blossom Demon for the first time.

At that time, it was just a peach tree.

However, this peach tree was in perpetual bloom, its blossoms remarkably beautiful and seductive.

When Shen Ruosui arrived, the peach tree moved without the wind, as if welcoming her.

Shen Ruosui at the time only thought the peach tree to be spiritual, without further consideration.

She placed the female ghost into an item she carried with her, allowing the female ghost to successfully reach the top of Wuling Mountain.

Under the guidance of the female ghost, a headless female corpse was dug up beneath the peach tree.

This event caused a huge uproar in Wuling Mountain.

After all, this was a sacred place for cultivation; such an occurrence was an utter disgrace to Wuling Mountain.

If word of this got out, how would the people at the foot of the mountain view Wuling Mountain?

Would any disciple with an inherent wisdom dare to come to Wuling Mountain again?

Therefore, most of those so-called righteous cultivators of Wuling Mountain planned to suppress the affair.

Shen Ruosui initially thought they would thoroughly investigate the killer, but unexpectedly, the matter kept getting pushed aside, and after three months, no one had inquired about it.

And no one bothered about the head of the headless female corpse, nor did anyone intend to find the murderer to give the female ghost justice.

The corpse had been found, but without the head, the female ghost could not reincarnate and could only pester Shen Ruosui day by day.

At first, Shen Ruosui had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

She thought even if the Wuling elders didn’t care, Ji Qingchen would surely get involved since the suspected murderer was Wen Ruan.

Until one day, Ji Qingchen came knocking...
