Purgatory Artist
Chapter 362: It’s Not Him

Chapter 362 - It's Not Him

He opened his eyes.

Liu Ping sat up from the bed, yawned, and began to put on his clothes.

The evil beings in the room disappeared.

Only the three-headed female ghost was left, sitting on the chair in front of the bed, staring at Liu Ping quietly.

Liu Ping put on his clothes in front of it, then went to wash his face, boil water, make tea, and practice martial arts in the courtyard.

The three-headed female ghost slowly walked to the courtyard, watched him practice a set of martial arts, and said,

"Stop pretending, I know it's you."

Liu Ping threw his coat, took out his long sword and started practicing.

He was focused, practicing his sword skills with all his might, in the end, his whole body was sweating like steam, he even closed his eyes slightly and entered a state of epiphany.

Knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Liu Ping's face was full of annoyance, and he muttered, "Interrupted me ..."

He went to open the door.

A row of palace maids came in with food baskets, and began to place cutlery and breakfast on the table.

A brand new imperial guard uniform with a sword was presented, together with his new waist tag, placed on the chair at the side.

"Guard Liu, Her Highness has woken up, you can go over after breakfast." The leading palace maid said.

"Okay, got it." Liu Ping said.

The palace maids bowed and silently retreated outside.

The leading palace maid suddenly said, "Why is your room so cold?"

"Cold?" Liu Ping didn't understand.

The three-headed female ghost suddenly turned her head, looked at the palace maid for a while, and said softly, "Very good, there's a special body here ..."

The female ghost slowly got up, and walked towards the palace maid.

She said, "Young man, it doesn't matter if you are that person or not, I just want to thank the existence that touched the barrier."

"That special touch, if it's a mortal, we will eat him and absorb his power; but if it's not a mortal, we will kneel at his feet and thank him for releasing us."

As her voice fell.

The three-headed female ghost's figure became more illusory, overlapping with the leading palace maid.

Immediately after.

The female ghost disappeared.

And the palace maid turned her head, and smiled at Liu Ping.

"Sister, is there anything else you want to say?" Liu Ping asked curiously.

"No, take care of yourself," the palace maid said.

Three illusory heads appeared on both sides of her head. They stared at Liu Ping for a moment before returning to their original positions.

The palace maids left.

Liu Ping's expression did not change and he began to eat.

The breakfast was a dazzling array of dishes. It was very sumptuous and suited the needs and appetites of martial artists.

Liu Ping ate very slowly.

The development of the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

Why was that female ghost able to possess him?

Even in the real world of the future, the Blood Hand Unknown couldn't do this.

Liu Ping put down the bowl and was silent for a moment. He suddenly stood up, quickly put on his guard uniform and walked out of the room.

He followed the path in his memory to the bedchamber. Along the way, his waist token was checked twice. Finally, his identity was checked again by the internal officer from yesterday before he was let go.

As soon as they entered the sleeping quarters, they heard loud and clear cries.

An internal officer hurriedly ran over and said:

"The Princess has been crying for the entire night. I don't know what's going on, but Her Highness is coaxing her."

"I'll go take a look," Liu Ping said.

He followed the internal officer into the room and looked up.

He saw a woman in a gorgeous palace dress hugging Shui Shu, gently shaking her and coaxing her.

Shui Shu kept crying.

In the void above them, a monster with a human head and a snake's body was flying back and forth.

From the looks of it, it seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to pounce down.

However, the woman in the palace dress had three accessories on her body. They were constantly emitting light, causing the monster to not dare to rush down.

No one could see the monster.

Liu Ping was silent for a moment, then walked forward with a smile and said: "Her Highness, perhaps her cold nature is acting up. Why don't you let me try?"

The Empress was already dead. This woman might be the Emperor's concubine. At this moment, in order to please the Emperor, she came to take care of Shui Shu.

The woman in the palace dress was already very tired. Hearing this, she handed the Princess over and said softly: "Try it."

Shui Shu was in Liu Ping's arms, still crying non-stop. Her two small hands were shaking non-stop.

"Looks like it still won't work." A few internal officers shook their heads and sighed.

Liu Ping smiled and said: "Her Highness, the Princess seems to be very interested in your accessories. Why don't you hold it for her? Maybe it will work."

"Is that so?"

The Her Highness asked doubtfully.

"Yes, your head and body are very shiny, very popular with children." Liu Ping said.

"As long as this little ancestor doesn't make a fuss, there's no harm in giving it to her."

Saying so, the Her Highness took down the treasures on her head and hands and put them into the swaddling clothes.

In an instant.

The baby girl stopped crying.

Her beautiful eyes opened wide, curiously looking at the accessories and holding them in her hands.

It was only now that Shui Shu's voice sounded in Liu Ping's ears:

"That monster kept pestering me for the entire night, wanting to eat me. I didn't even dare to let this Her Highness go."

"It knows that you have Occultism?" Liu Ping asked.

"Some things have very unique sensing abilities. It might have sensed my past life, so it was unwilling to let go. It wanted to eat me and absorb the Occultism from me" Shui Shu said.

"You've worked hard" Liu Ping said.

He opened the swaddling clothes in front of Her Highness and smiled: "Look Her Highness, the Princess won't make a fuss when she has accessories to play with"

The Her Highness laughed: "So that's how it is. If I had known, I would have given it to her at night."

Liu Ping then handed Shui Shu back to Her Highness.

Sure enough, Shui Shu stopped crying.

She sighed in relief and gently put Shui Shu back on the bed.

As a baby girl, Shui Shu was truly tired after a night of messing around.

She clutched the jewelry tightly, closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the air, the human-headed snake-bodied monster swam around for a few breaths' worth of time. Seeing the baby girl holding onto a few powerful accessories to protect herself, it finally gave up on its thoughts.

It plunged downwards and dived into the vast ocean, disappearing without a trace.

"You're Liu Ping? A disciple of the Myriad Spirits Sect? " She asked.

"Yes" Liu Ping answered.

"It's still early today, there's no need to help the Princess get rid of the cold. Go take a look at Guizang mountain, maybe you'll be able to find a suitable scripture for yourself. This was something that His Majesty promised you yesterday" Her Highness said.

Liu Ping knew that she was trying to curry favor with him, so he understood: "Thank you Your Highness, then I'll be going now" Liu Ping said.

"Go" Her Highness smiled.

Liu Ping left the palace and thought about it. He felt that the entire world was shrouded in fog, and he could not see the truth behind it.

He suddenly threw away his thoughts and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll try to increase the strength of the four Saint pillars as soon as possible. At the same time, I'll increase my own strength. If I'm really strong enough, why would I be afraid of you?"

He took a few steps and suddenly stopped.

In front.

The palace maid that he met in the morning was waiting for him.

The three female ghosts were possessing this palace maid!

Seeing Liu Ping walk over, the palace maid bowed and said: "Guard Liu, I'm here to bring you to Guizang mountain."

"Thank you" Liu Ping cupped his hands and said.

The two of them walked in the direction of the long lake.

As they walked, the palace maid suddenly asked: "Guard Liu, I only recently found out that you've done so many famous things. What kind of person are you exactly?"

"I'm a martial artist" Liu Ping said.

"Is it that simple? I feel that Guard Liu must have secrets that others don't know "the palace maid said meaningfully.

Liu Ping smiled: "Sister, are you planning to marry me by asking so many questions?"

The palace maid was stunned and shook her head: "I'm just curious."

"Since sister doesn't plan to marry me, then don't ask anymore."

"Why?"

"My time is very precious. I don't have time to slowly chat with you about these things" Liu Ping said sincerely.

The palace maid's face darkened and said coldly: "Actually, I quite like you and want to know more about you. After that ... I might want to marry you."

Liu Ping smiled and said warmly: "Sister, you don't have to be so curious about me. After all, you're already so old and you're not good-looking. I won't like you if you ask so many questions."

The palace maid's face changed a few times. Finally, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

The two of them silently came to the lakeside.

The lake was full of lotus leaves. In the middle of the lake was a stone mountain covered by fog. They couldn't see where its peak was.

"Go" the palace maid said.

Liu Ping looked around and asked: "Where's the boat?"

"There's no boat today" the palace maid sneered.

Liu Ping said sighing "Fine."

He leaped and turned into a fire phoenix, flying towards the stone mountain in the middle of the lake.

The palace maid stared at the fire phoenix. Suddenly, she raised her hand and formed a seal. She shouted: "Go"

Boom

The lake water suddenly exploded into the sky.

A few monsters surrounded by a grey aura appeared in front of the fire phoenix and flew towards him.

Liu Ping glanced at those monsters from inside the fire phoenix.

In an instant.

A line of words appeared on top of each monster's head:

[Barrier Sealing Demon:???]

[Enchantment Seal Demon:???]

[Barrier Sealing Demon:???]

[Evil creature: Parasite Demon (Bound)]

So that's how it is.

Mixing the evil creatures that can be seen with the Sealing Demon that normal people can't see.

Anyone who suddenly encounters an enemy would instinctively attack.

Unless they can't see it!

In other words, this can immediately tell if Liu Ping can see the Sealing Demon or not.

Liu Ping drew his Baina Saber without hesitation and swung it at the evil creature.

An endless sea of fire turned into a line and slashed the Parasite Demon's body, burning it to ashes.

Liu Ping put his Saber away and ignored the Sealing Demons. He leaped again and flew straight towards the stone mountain.

The Sealing Demons flew around for a while, then abruptly attacked, releasing rays of black light.

Liu Ping didn't move.

Those rays of black light passed through his body without hitting him at all.

The attack was fake!

The palace maid silently watched from the lakeside, then shook her head: "Seems like I was thinking too much. He can't see it at all ..."

She couldn't be bothered to look at Liu Ping again. She turned around and quickly left.
