Chapter 182: Chapter 180: Let Her Soul Scatter (Third Update)

Fang Yue was drenched in cold sweat. He leaned forward, sat up straight, and grasped Yun Qi’s small hand. "Little one, can you help Uncle?"

"Of course I can help, but Uncle has to be honest," Yun Qi withdrew his hand, "A year ago, was it your mother who killed your wife?"

The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Fang Yue clearly didn’t want to bring up the topic, but under Yun Qi’s intense gaze, he finally sighed, "Yes, it was all my fault for not stopping them in time. I thought they were just having a verbal spat, but I didn’t expect... That day I just got off work and saw them arguing. I was very tired and just said a few words carelessly, not expecting my mom to turn around and grab a knife to... Ah! I’m ashamed and regretful, I’m a useless man!"

He pulled his hair, pounding his head vigorously, looking extremely distressed.

Yun Qiuhong sighed. Although he felt angry at Fang Yue, the matter had already happened, and it was clear that Fang Yue lived in pain too.

His gaze shifted, seeing Yun Qi’s calm, indifferent, and even slightly cold eyes.

He couldn’t understand why a child would have such an indifferent demeanor in the face of others’ pain, as if he could not feel the hardships of the human world.

"So, what decision will you make, Uncle? Now that your wife’s ghost is here for revenge, what do you plan to do?" the soft, child-like voice said calmly, without any fluctuation.

"I..." Fang Yue lifted his head, his face stained with tears, "I don’t know what to do. She wants revenge, and she should. In the year we were married, I brought her no happiness, only endless quarrels. If she hadn’t met me, it would have been better. She’s in such good condition, so beautiful, she would have met a good man to truly cherish her..."

Seeing Fang Yue immerse in pain, Yun Qiuhong advised him: "The matter has happened. Excessive self-blame is useless. Your wife’s soul has turned into an Evil Ghost and wants to take your life. The urgent thing is to stop her from haunting you."

Fang Yue gradually ceased his sobbing and looked up, tears blurring his vision as he glanced at Yun Qiuhong. His delicate face was filled with shame:

"Dean Yun, I really apologize. My family has caused you much trouble these days. I’m here to apologize on their behalf. As for my wife, my only wish is for her to resolve her Vicious Energy and reincarnate peacefully, living a happy and stable life in her next life."

Yun Qiuhong sighed again. Although Fang Yue was somewhat cowardly, he was not a bad person after all.

"Qi, how do you think we should help him?"

"What if she refuses to resolve her Vicious Energy and insists on seeking revenge on you?" With that, Yun Qi flicked his fingers, and a circular golden Barrier spread out, enveloping Fang Yue.

Instantly, Fang Yue felt a weight on his neck. There was indeed something curled up on the back of his neck, fiercely biting, with a terrifying sensation of teeth burrowing into his flesh.

Fang Yue shrank his neck, his face filled with terror, "Master, Master, save me, quickly drive her away."

Yun Qi threw a Copper Coin, causing the female ghost in white to howl in pain and roll off Fang Yue’s neck.

The female ghost’s black hair was disheveled. When she looked up, the bloody gash on her neck was raw, the flesh turned outward, and her eyes wept blood, pupils entirely black with no whites.

Fang Yue trembled all over, "Yu An’an, don’t come near me! If you dare haunt me again, I won’t be polite..."

Yun Qi squinted at Fang Yue and beckoned Yu An’an’s soul to his side.

"Let go of me, if you dare stop me, I’ll kill you too..."

Yu An’an lunged at Yun Qi, her five fingers forming claws, but suddenly a Spirit Talisman appeared on her forehead, thrust by a force that sent her crashing into the wall, immobilized.

Fang Yue’s forehead was covered in sweat. Seeing Yun Qi control Yu An’an, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if narrowly escaping death, "Thank you, Little Master. I was fortunate to have you today..."

"Ten thousand per deal, no bargaining," Yun Qi interrupted him unceremoniously.

"Alright, I’ll transfer the money to you right away."

...

"Good, paying directly makes things easier. Have you thought about how to handle her? You saw her resolve to kill you is very strong. Reincarnation is difficult. I can hand her over to the Yin Cha, but if she escapes, she will still come after you," Yun Qi said steadily and indifferently with his little hands behind his back.

"You mean... she will keep haunting me until she kills me?" Fang Yue licked his lips, "Is there any other option?"

"That would be soul scattering. After that, she won’t be able to harm you anymore, but it’s a bit cruel. After all, you are husband and wife, you should be reluctant..."

"I am willing!" Fang Yue said firmly and excitedly, cutting off Yun Qi’s words, realizing his outburst, he quickly reined in his emotions, a pained expression crossing his delicate face, "Making this decision is hard for me too, but Yu An’an has turned into an Evil Ghost and refuses to reincarnate. I really have no choice. After her soul scatters, I will take care of her parents, treating them as my own, filial to them!"

Yun Qi curled his lips slightly, a faint, unnoticed cold smirk, "Very well, soul scattering causes a loss of Merit. Add another ten thousand."

"Alright." Fang Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at Yun Qi with eager anticipation.

...

Yun Qi nodded, indicating the deal was done, and then threw another Spirit Talisman, sending it flying toward Yu An’an.

Yun Qiuhong was startled and shouted, "Wait."

It was already too late. The Spirit Talisman adhered to Yu An’an, and she let out a painful roar, her white figure slowly engulfed in golden light, leaving only a wisp of blue smoke.

Fang Yue visibly breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his pale, weak face, "Thank you, Little Master."

"And what about this? How will you handle it?" Yun Qi said as a black Ghost Shadow appeared in the golden Barrier.

Fang Yue focused his gaze and cried out, "Mom..."

He saw that the black Ghost Shadow was covered in tumors, with green veins pulsing across them, nauseating and terrifying.

"She died of cancer. The tumors symbolize the internal masses. No need to worry. In fact, your mother has been secretly protecting you all this time, battling with your wife’s soul, otherwise, you would have been harmed by Yu An’an long ago."

"Little Master, can you send my mom to reincarnate?" Fang Yue asked, unwilling.

Yun Qi tilted his head slightly, "It’s difficult. She missed the initial time for reincarnation while protecting you. Now she has to wait in line, waiting for the Yin Cha to find her. Besides, she has already formed an obsession to protect you, becoming an Earth-bound Spirit, likely to follow you forever."

"What? Will I be in danger in the future?" Fang Yue asked in shock, his expression changing again.

"That’s hard to say. She is your mother, but when people die, they retain memories of their past life initially. Over time, especially after becoming an Earth-bound Spirit, those memories fade, and the obsession can become a Devil Thought, forming hatred and a controlling desire toward you. If you interact with someone she dislikes, she might even turn to harm you."
