Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 488: The Serenade of Love

Wesuddenly hearda burst of horrible laughterfrom above. We lifted our heads and saw the dried bodyhangingfroma beam.The moment we lookedather, she swung her handand toreher clothes, revealing her rotten body.

I couldn’t helpbut retch. I immediately drew the peach wood swordand aimed itat her!

She didn’t attack us. Instead, she hovered overthe lecternand mumbledsomething indistinctive.

The female ghost kept making strange sounds.Then, the Yin energyin the areabegan to congregatearoundher. The ghost’switheredanddecomposed body started to replenishand swellup. Not even after one minute, she had become a nakedandsexy woman.

Li Mazi gulped his salivaand saidshamelessly, “If I die in her hands, Ifeelit’ll beworth it.”

Iignored him and turnedtoMarco, telling himto protect himself. Then, I took the peach wood swordand dashedtoward the female ghost.Marcoheld meand screamed,“Zhang, you can’t go! She’s a devil now! You’re not her opponent!”

“You don’t know if you don’t try! Move!”

I understood thatMarcohad good intentions. However,if we didn’t take risks now, we wouldn’tbe able to leave alive. I pushed him asideand thrustmy swordforward.

AsI was approaching her, the ghost didn’t move. Whenever danger was near, she wouldturn into a ringof light. I smirkedand thoughtthatI’dbeen practicinghow to hit a movingring alotthese past days. I had practicedjust to be able to counter her move.

However, I didn’t expect that the ghost would do something else this time.The momentI was about to hit her chest, the corner of her mouth rose, and she suddenly disappeared.

My sword hit the void. After a second of bewilderment, I heard Li Mazi scream.

“Watch out!”

At that moment, a strong force hit my back.

I was sent a few meters forward. When I landed, I vomited blood. The ghost stood at the place I had just stabbed herand gaveme a disdainful smile. She provokingly licked her lips.

“Screwyou!”

She was playing with me as though she was playing with a mouse.I gritted my teeth and gotup. I ignored the painin my backand thrustthe sword one more time. However, as soon as itapproachedthe ghost, she disappeared.

I learned from experience this timeand pulledmy peach sword backward. I aimedagain. Still, I only reached the void. Before I could react, the ghost appeared above me. Her sharp, red fingernails dug into my neck, and blood spurted.

I instinctivelyjerkedbackto avoid the fatal attack, then hacked the peach sword on her head.

Afterthe ghostwashit, a wound appeared on her porcelain skin. The area around the wound began to wither at a speed the naked eye could observe.

I was strangely happy.Even if you can become young and beautiful again, you’re just a dried corpse!

With the previous two experiences, I didn’t actively attack her. I was waiting for her to attack me first so that I could guessthedirection of the attack from her Yin energy. As a result, my peach wood sword hit her a few times,which gaveher wounds all over her body.

I knew the peach sword would gradually lose its power.The next timeshe camenear me,I would use all of my strength to stab her one final time.

However, the image of the sword piercing through her body didn’tcome true. The peach wood sword fumed black smokeandbroke into pieces!

At the same time, I saw countless female ghosts around me. They were identicaland all had strong Yin energy.

I was stunnedas it wasn’t a hallucination. Those were her clones!Ialready had difficulties dealingwith one ghost and now… I guessed we all had to die here…

The moment I wanted to give up, white, dazzling light emitted next to us. At the same time, the ghost seemed to feel intimidating.She immediatelyretreated to the lectern.

I turned and saw the Lance of God in Li Mazi’s hand. It was emitting ablinding white light.

“Zhang, Jesus Christis here to saveus! Thank God, my Lord!”Marcowas so excited that he stammered.

Then, he closed his eyesandsolemnlyreadsome verses of the Bible. As he was chanting faster and faster, the white light from the Lance of Godbecamemore dazzling.

It seemed God was showing his power! Excitedly, I screamedandreceived the spear from Li Mazi, slowly walkingtoward the ghost.

As I walked, my vision blurred out. A bearded, foreign man wearing a white gown appeared inmy mind. He brushed his garment with one hand whilehe held his otherhand in front of his chest. He smiledand noddedat me.

Then, he turned into a dot of white lightand enteredthe Lance of God!

My head wastingling.Then, my vision became clear again. My hand that was holding the Lance of God became much more agile. At the same time, the female ghost clones scattered. They fled as they had encounteredtheir nemesis.

I was worried that theywould escape.

My hand that was holding the lance subconsciously rose, drawinga circle above my head.Then, a burning white light immediately expanded from the circle I had just drawn. The entire structure was covered in white light. All the clones felltothe ground,struggling.

Marco chokedon his saliva because he was reading too fast. He had to stop for a while, which caused the white light in the church tosubside. The ghost seized the chanceand roaredbizarrely. Her clones gathered into oneand lungedtoward me. At the moment she was about to reach me, she turned into a floating, black violin!

The violin emitted an evil, magic power that made me shiver. I forgot to dodge the attack. Instinctively, I rose the Lance of God to parry. I knew I could stab her, but I would also be hurt.

At the moment my life was at stake,Marcostarted to read the Bible verses again. I feltthepowerreturn to my body. However, there was no ghost in front of me but a purple-sparkling skeleton.

I didn’t even thinkand heldthe lance tighter, stabbing theskeleton. After a lowsound, my vision resumed to normal. The ghost now had a big, bleeding holein her chest. She lookedat her chest in disbelief. There was nounwillingness in her eyes,onlyendlessconfusion.

Starting from the head, her entire body turned into ashes, scatteringwith the wind.

Marcokept chanting since he was afraid that she wasn’t gone yet. In my eyes, the scene changed again.

In the middle of a sea of flowers, a beautiful lady was holding a violin. She was beamingsweetly at me. She waved, then turnedand disappearedinto the mesmerizing lavender fields.

“You can stop reading. She’s gone,”Isaid to Marco. We then left the Ghost Castle.

After the ghost was gone, the people from the Longquan Villa mysteriouslydisappeared. I didn’t know where theywentand I was too lazy to track them down. Li Mazi and I spent the next few days withMarcoin Milan. Then, we headed home.

Itisworth mentioningthat on the lastnight I slept in the hotel, I dreamed of the beautiful European woman one more time. She held the violin and kept turning her head around to see. Every time, her pretty faceturnedrosier.

I couldn’t see the person behind her, but I knew it was a young man playing the violin.

Paganini, I wish that youwillcherish the chance God has given you and treat your beloved well in heaven!
