Chapter 132: Chapter 130 The Little Girl Bullies the Ghost

Very soon, the farce of exhuming the corpse ended, and the villagers were buzzing with discussion:

"I heard Gouwa murdered someone?"

"That’s right, it was him. The police have already found the evidence."

"I never thought Gouwa, who seemed so honest, would actually be a murderer behind our backs."

"He even wrote about the murder process in his diary and kept a shoe of the woman he killed. What a pervert!"

"Ah, you only know a person’s face, not their heart."

In Liu Qiang’s farmhouse, Yun Qi was taking a nap as usual. Just waking up, their little face was flushed. Their big eyes were misty, making them look like a well-behaved doll.

Liu Qiang ran over excitedly, "Little Master, you’re truly amazing. Officer Zheng has found the murderer of my wife, but that person is already dead..."

The old lady walked out from inside the house, "Really? I want to see."

Liu Qiang quickly stopped her, "Mom, let me handle it. That person is dead, died just last night." The old lady was so angry she stomped her feet, "How could this happen? He only died last night, doesn’t that mean he lived freely for 20 years? I can’t swallow this!"

Yun Qi blinked their big eyes, with a soft, tender voice said, "Grandma, don’t worry. Bad people will definitely get their retribution. Even if he’s dead, I’ll make sure he pays the price."

After that, Yun Qi washed their face and asked Yun Qiuce to take them to Gouwa’s nephew’s house.

A crowd gathered outside the nephew’s house. Everyone was talking. Gouwa’s nephew was holding a bottle of liquor, reeking of alcohol, shouting as he drank, "My uncle’s murder was something from twenty years ago. He’s so old now and dead, can’t they just let it go? This is smearing our family’s reputation!"

The onlooking neighbors couldn’t stand it anymore, someone shouted loudly: "Do you think your uncle had a reason to kill? That woman was only in her twenties when he killed her. He lived to be 70! It was a blind heaven that let him live so long."

"Exactly, like uncle, like nephew. No wonder your uncle would commit murder with your attitude."

"You ruined a whole family and still have the audacity to complain?"

Gouwa’s nephew, drunk and irritable, felt ashamed seeing everyone talking like this, grabbed a broom, and started a fight with several neighbors.

The neighbors were already filled with anger, especially knowing that Gouwa was a murderer pretending to be honest. They united and gave Gouwa’s nephew a good beating.

One of the neighbors shouted, "The 20,000 yuan I lent you must be paid back today, not a cent less."

Gouwa’s nephew shouted, "What, we’re not going to be neighbors anymore?"

"Who wants to be neighbors with a murderer’s family?"

With that, the person walked away.

Gouwa’s nephew was so angry he beat his own chest. If it weren’t for his uncle still having a piece of homestead, he’d have never taken care of him, better to let him die early.

Yun Qiuce saw this scene from outside. Whispered to Yun Qi, "Qi, did you do this on purpose? Making Gouwa’s family name tarnished because of his crime so people scorn them?"

Yun Qi looked up earnestly, "Even though the system of clan punishment isn’t popular now, since they’re reborn as a family, there must be similarities in blood and character. Besides, Gouwa fell sick, and his nephew took care of him to inherit his wealth, letting him live another decade or so. So, he should bear some of Gouwa’s burdens. Every choice has a consequence, and Qi doesn’t bully honest people."

Yun Qiuce nodded, "Qi, you see things clearly, much better than some adults."

Some adults, like Gouwa’s nephew, just want the benefits without paying any price.

Little do they know, everything in the world has its price marked in secret.

"What should we do now?" Yun Qiuce asked.

"Binding Spirit, taking away Gouwa’s soul."

Yun Qi said this, forming a golden circle in the air with their hands. The golden Spiritual Power formed a large net in the air, dropping with a roar onto a confused transparent human figure, which was Gouwa.

He had just died, looking bewildered, not yet realizing he was dead. Suddenly trapped by the golden Spiritual Net, he looked at Yun Qi in confusion, blinking, "Why is this little girl bullying me? Hey, I’m fine, why are you binding me?"

Yun Qi let out a soft yet cold snort with a baby-like voice, "You still don’t know why I’m binding you? You killed a mother and child 20 years ago. You thought dying would wipe your debt clean?"

Gouwa’s face instantly changed with fear, he struggled hard, "How can a child talk such nonsense, quickly let me go, or I’ll rip your mouth apart."

While threatening Yun Qi, he ogled them lecherously, "This little girl must be from the city, pale and delicate, much fairer than girls in our village."

Before Yun Qi could react, Yun Qiuce got angry. He picked up a bamboo stick from the ground, intending to hit Gouwa, but missed and almost fell due to inertia.

"Uncle, he’s a ghost now, you can’t hit him."

Damn! Yun Qiuce cursed, throwing down the bamboo stick. He was so angry he forgot this detail.

"Don’t be mad. Qi will help Uncle teach him a lesson."

Saying this, Yun Qi used the Spiritual Net to imprison Gouwa’s soul, holding one end, they walked purposefully into the glaring sun.

Although it was already autumn, the autumn sun was intense. Especially these days, the weather was clear, the sun scorching, almost indistinguishable from summer.

Gouwa’s soul was roasted until it squealed, "Who are you? Are you a Yin Cha? Why are you treating me like this? I’ve been honest all my life, never did anything wrong."

Still being stubborn!

Yun Qi turned back and said in a cute yet fierce manner, "Rest assured, I’m not a Yin Cha, but I’m more terrifying than them."

The sun scorched Gouwa’s soul, making him cry and wail, with festering wounds all over his body, large black holes burned on his face.

He tried to shield himself with his hands, the fingers melting under the sun, emitting a nasty burnt smell.

"I was wrong, please let me go, find me a shaded place."

"Hmph," Yun Qi snorted coldly, with a serious little face, both chilly and cool, "It’s just beginning. When you killed them, they begged for mercy too, but you didn’t relent. Now you regret it. Don’t worry, this is just the start."

Soon, Yun Qi dragged Gouwa’s soul to Liu Qiang’s home, and tied one end of the Spiritual Net to a barren tree trunk. This way, Gouwa’s soul was entirely exposed under the sun.

He cried out in anguish and begged for mercy, wishing desperately to roll on the ground, but the more he rolled, the more it hurt, with large patches of his skin festering, and burnt scars covering his face.
